"Prudence, Patricia, Penelope, Melinda, Astrid, Lena, Laura and Grace,"
cried the Halliwell witches. "Halliwell Witches Stand strong beside us,
Vanquish this evil from time and space." The Source's body is set on fire.
The girls look on in horror and a sick excitement as his body explodes in a
brilliant spray of color.
Four men and four women, dressed in plain white robes, surveyed this scene from the clouds. A woman with blonde curls smiles. " I don't believe it. They vanquished the Source."
" Come now, Divina," scoffs another Elder, Engel. " They are the Charmed Ones."
" Still," another seraph, Bozidar, began, " they should be rewarded."
" But with what?" wondered Ouraina. " A new power?"
" Paige has not yet fully controlled hers, that would be foolish," replied Caelestis.
" Then what?" asked Celio.
The most thoughtful Elder, Chiela, spoke up. " A visit from their sister, perhaps." The Five turned to her. " They have proven themselves worthy, and have dealt with her death bravely."
" Good idea," Leilani agreed. Divina nodded. Engel frowned. " For how long? On what terms?"
" To live as a human for seven days," Ouraina suggested. The others agreed.
" With her magic?" Engel enjoyed being disagreeable.
" With demons attacking constantly, it will be a necessity."
" She's already dead!"
Caelestis glared at Ouraina and Engel. " Silence, both of you. The terms have been decided. Call for Prudence."

" Did you see that, Andy?" Prue asked.
" Whoa," he said, his eyes wide. " They beat the Source."
Prue grinned harder than she ever has before. Her sisters! They defeated the Source! She'd never been prouder, especially for Paige. Being the new sister must have been difficult.
A familiar chime of bells rang. Prue's smile faded a bit. What could the Elders want with her?
" Go," he told her, patting her shoulder. " I'll wait for you." He smiled. " I did it for two years."
She kissed him and concentrated, becoming a ball of white energy. Through the clouds she floated to the Elders' Chamber. Prue took angel form again.
" You called upon me, Great Ones?" She hoped they didn't notice the nervousness in her voice.
" Yes, Prudence." The Elders sat in their crescent moon-shaped table, each face emotionless as they bore holes with their eyes into Prue (or that was how she felt). Ouraina looked down at Prue. " You have seen your sisters' victory?"
" I have, Divine Ones."
" To reward them, we wish to send you to Earth to live as a mortal for seven days, with your powers restored," Caelestis declared.
Prue wanted to scream. It's like I've died and gone to…never mind. " What about Paige?"
"She will retain her powers," Engel told her, the corner of his mouth twisting. "In two days of human time you shall return to them."
" Thank you, Revered Ones." Prue became white light again and hurried back to Andy. " You'll never believe what's happened!"
