Okay here's my charmed story. I started writing it way back in season 4 and the show morphed so much that i kept changing it over and over to fit the story line and it eventually went on permanent hiatus. Well now that the show is finished and i had some free time on my hands to make it fit the existing story line it is ready to make it's comeback.

Please let me know it i have somethng terribly wrong plot wise so i can fix it and i apologize for any oocness on the camo characters. Thanks very much and don't forget to tell me what you think!

Disclaimer: I do not own charmed but any original characters and plot lines in this story are mine.

ENJOY!


A young woman stood on the Halliwell front porch, staring at the door with nervous eyes. She looked to be around sixteen with a suitcase in tow. The young woman's finger hovered above the doorbell as she debated her next move.

--------------

Inside the manor, Piper and Paige were sitting at the kitchen table drinking their coffee and reading the newspaper. Leo walked down the stairs and began pouring himself a cup of coffee when the doorbell rang.

Leo put down his cup and turned toward the entryway. "I'll get it."

Paige pushed out her chair a step ahead of her brother in law. "No, I got it. You just enjoy a cup of coffee with your wife."

The doorbell rang again, and Paige orbed over to the door as Leo sat down.

----------------

Paige pulled open the front door, surprised at the sight of the young woman.

"Hi, can I help you?"

The young woman hesitated at the sight of Paige and then asked in a quiet tone "Is gra… I mean is Piper home?"

"Yeah . . . hold on." Apprehensively Paige let the girl into the house and made her way into the kitchen to get Piper.

"There's a girl at the door for you."

"Who is it?"

Paige shrugged. "I don't know, but she asked for you and she has a suitcase."

Piper gave Paige a questioning look and then placed her coffee cup in the sink before walking into the foyer.

--------------

As Piper entered the room the girl turned away from the picture of Prue she was looking at, and twisted to face her.

Piper eyed the girl guardedly. "Hello, may I help you?"

The girl smiled anxiously. "Hi."

"Do I know you?"

The young woman took a deep calming breath before answering Piper.

"Yeah… well not really… well I know you… sort of… This is gunna sound really weird but… I'm your granddaughter Prudence Julia Halliwell."

-----------------

Prudence sat quietly on the couch as Piper paced back and forth in front of her.

Suddenly the witch stopped.

"Let me get this straight you are my granddaughter from the future and Paige, Phoebe, and I used the time travel spell from the Book of Shadows to get you here."

Prudence nodded tentatively. "Yeah, that about covers it. Grams. . .uh older you gave this to me, to give to you."

After digging through her pocket, Prudence pulled out a slightly crumpled paper and handed it to Piper.

The note read…

Dear Piper, This is your granddaughter PJ. We call her PJ instead of Prue for obvious reasons. I sent her to you by using the time travel spell from the Book. She is there to help you fight a very powerful demon that we were fighting in our time. He went back to your time so that he could defeat you before you are powerful enough to stop him. PJ can help.

She is the strongest Halliwell witch yet. Since she doesn't have any siblings she is stronger than her cousins and her powers are three times more powerful than any one of yours. The only drawback is that her powers aren't fully developed yet so you will all have to work together to vanquish the demon.

Love, Piper

PS: Phoebe tweaked the time travel spell so PJ can stay as long as she wants and won't miss anything here.

Piper looked at the note in shock.

"Wait I did all this. . . I'm alive in the future?"

PJ gave her a weird look. "Yeah, why wouldn't you be?"

Piper put the note down on the coffee table, sat down next to PJ with tears in her eyes, and gave her granddaughter a tight hug.

"Are you okay with this? Me being here I mean?"

Piper smiled at the young woman, trying unsuccessfully to blink back her tears.

"Yeah." She nodded and hugged PJ again.

Once Piper regained her composure, she stood up and extended a hand to the young witch.

"So, why don't I show you around?"

PJ smiled. "That sounds great."

Just as they started to make their way into the kitchen, a demon smoked in and launched a fireball at the two witches.

"Watch out!" Piper screamed as she pulled PJ to the side just in time for the blast to miss her head.

"What the hell? Watch out!" PJ pulled Piper forward as the demon fired again, and the blast just missed for a second time.

Then PJ threw up her hands to freeze the demon, but only froze his arm.

"What was that?" Piper asked before freezing the rest of him.

PJ shrugged her shoulders apologetically.

"My powers don't always do what I want them to. I can't help it."

Leo and Paige came running from the kitchen.

"Is it the demon?" Leo asked.

Piper nodded. "Obviously. Paige, the vanquish.

Piper and Paige joined hands and read the vanquishing spell Paige had copied from the Book of Shadows. The demon immediately unfroze, screamed, and burned into nothing, leaving only a small circle of soot.

"Who was that?!"

"Oh that was just a demon that has been trying to" Paige froze mid sentence. "Wait . . . Who are you?"

"Well I'm Pr . . .

Piper interrupted her before she had a chance to finish.

"She is my granddaughter and your grandniece."

"Oh. Wait! You have a granddaughter?"

"Apparently, Paige meet PJ."

Paige extended her hand. "Nice to meet you."

"Hey Aunt Paige."

"And this is Leo." Piper said pulling him over.

Leo shook her hand as well.

"I know who he is. Hey Granddad."

Piper looked embarrassed for a moment. "Right, then I'm assuming you also know Chris."

She smiled then looked up the stairs. "Chris!"

PJ faltered slightly. Chris wasn't supposed to be here.

"Chris is here?"

Leo rubbed his forehead. "It's a long story."

Chris orbed in right behind Piper. "What? What is it? Is the demon back?"

"Relax I just want you to meet someone, Chris this is my granddaughter."

PJ waved at him casually. "Hey… uh… Chris."

"Whatever, hi. (looks at PJ confused) I guess."

He quickly turned his attention back toward Piper impatiently. "I was called up there because a powerful demon came through a time rift, and you can't defeat him. The Elders were discussing what to do when you called me down here just to meet your granddaughter."

He stopped for a minute, thinking about what he had just said.

"Wait . . . granddaughter?"

"Yes Chris, this is my granddaughter. Her name is Prudence Julia."

PJ cut in. "PJ for short."

Chris was completely and utterly confused

"But how is this possible? How did she get here? More importantly why is she here?"

"The time travel spell in The Book of Shadows brought me here and…"

She was again interrupted by Piper. "She is here to help us defeat that demon you were talking about earlier."

"Speaking of the demon, shouldn't we get started on a plan of action so we don't all end up dead. He could show up any minute." PJ looked back and forth from Piper to Chris.

"Right. I'll go talk to the elders." He orbed out.

"I'll get the book." Piper said as she started up the stairs. "Leo maybe you should take the boys to my Dad's and fill in Phoebe and Coop."

"I'm on it." Leo orbed out as Piper disappeared up the stairs.

"Uncle Coop?"

"Yep, although he and Phoebe are still working that detail out."

There was a moment of awkward silence between Paige and PJ before Paige thought of something to do.

"I guess I'll find you somewhere to put your stuff. Let me see . . . (looks around the manner for a second) . . . I got it. You can stay in Phoebe's old room. Although, that's where Billie's been crashing."

"That's okay Aunt Paige I'll just take the couch. I don't mind really and I don't want to be any trouble."

"No. You're the guest and that means you should get the bed plus it's been a week or two since Billie stayed here so we can just stash her stuff up in the attic. If she comes back we can work something else out."

"But . . ."

Paige grabbed PJ's bags and headed up the stairs. "No buts. Now get your butt upstairs."

They both laughed and PJ reluctantly followed Paige to the second floor.

"Hey Aunt Paige, who's Billie?"
