Part One:
It was 1983 in a park in San Francisco; 13 year old Prue was playing with 10 year old Piper and 8 year old Phoebe. Prue was chilling out on the swings while Piper was people-pleasing by pandering to Prue's demands.
"I want an ice cream, Piper!"
"Oh, um…. I have no money, Prue, and I need to stop Phoebe running round crazily."
Phoebe was skipping around the playground with her eyes closed, so she ended up bumping into a boy holding an ice cream. Piper panicked, her arms shot up and she froze the scene. Phoebe fell onto her knees and the ice cream had slid off the cone and was stuck only a few inches from her face.
"PIPER!" Prue yelled. "Grams told us to be super careful because the binding spell she used was temporary until she decides if it's the best thing for us and use a full-power binding spell and erase our memories of ever having magic."
"I know, Prue, I know! I just couldn't help it. Please, just help me fix it; cars are still going by and someone will notice."
"Chill out, Piper. No big deal; it's kind of cool because this ice cream nearly hit me" Phoebe said, crawling out from under the snack.
"No, you're going to stay there so Piper can unfreeze the playground…. Go on, lie back down and let that ice cream fall on your face, that's why you need to not be so reckless." Prue stood up, put her hands on Piper's shoulders and turned her around. "Calm down, relax your arms and un-"
"Wait!" Phoebe exclaimed while shuffling to align herself with the ice cream. "That girl over there – the one with the dark hair and pale skin – she looks about 5 or 6 but she never froze. Doesn't that mean she's one of us?"
"Phoebe, don't be silly; she probably just came over from across the road. Now let's turn it-"
"Phoebe may have a point, Prue; I saw her over there with those two people sitting on the bench just before I panicked. Then again, if she was a witch too, at least one of her parents wouldn't be frozen. Right?"
"Unless she was adopted, but that's not our concern. C'mon, hurry up. Unfreeze it now; we're leaving!"
Piper was flustered and started waving her arms about, but she managed to unfreeze the scene. Phoebe winced as the ice cream dropped onto her face and the boy looked at her awkwardly.
"I'm so sorry" he gushed. "I…. I didn't mean-"
"Don't worry; I had it coming for some time" Phoebe joked. He just stared at her, confused.
"Phoebs, come on. Let's go" Prue called.
As the three sisters walked off towards their street, they looked over their shoulders and saw the little girl running to her parents. She stopped and all of their eyes met. It was then, when the girl's parents called her name, that they heard something that sounded like it should mean something to them….
