"Argh! There's nothing in here!" shouted Paige as she slammed the Book of Shadows shut. "Well. There must be something or someone who's blocking our powers. We almost got our asses grilled this afternoon!" said Phoebe, taking the book from Paige's hands and started flipping it. "I don't get it. We've got everything right. The potion, the spell. What else could be wrong?" asked Paige. "Right? Piper?" she continued, obviously trying to get an agreement but Piper's eyes were somewhere else, it was focused, distant. "Piper?" she asked again. "This cannot be happening again....." Piper suddenly said. "Happened again? Piper, Phoebe, has this happened before?" asked Paige. Piper's statement has made Phoebe look up from the pages of the book. "No, I don't believe so. Piper, where are you getting at?" asked Phoebe, sounding very concerned. "Impossible." Piper suddenly said, shaking her head. "Piper?" Phoebe asked. "LEO!" Piper shouted so suddenly that it made Paige and Phoebe jumped. Suddenly, bright white lights formed and slowly changed into her husband. "Yes?" asked Leo, walking towards Piper. "Did the Elders say anything about this?" she immediately asked. "No, apparently, they think you should solve it yourself." Leo said, disappointedly. "They never seem to help don't they?" asked Phoebe, placing the book back on the couch and stood up. Piper walked away, placing her arms at her waist and started mumbling again. "Piper? What's going on?" asked Leo, looking at Paige. "Well, don't look at me. She's been like that ever since she went up here alone 20 minutes ago." She replied. Then, she took a glance at the book and gasped. "What? What happened?" asked Piper. Now, everyone has turned to Paige. "Look." She took the Book of Shadows and showed it to everyone, the front cover of the book which bears the triquetra. The three signs are still there but the circle that binds them, disappeared. "What the hell?" said Phoebe waking towards the book and surveyed it. "The sign changed, something must have been wrong." Leo said. "No, nothing is wrong. In fact, everything is perfect." Piper said with a smile. "Piper! How could you said that!?" asked Paige. "You'll see, Paige. Phoebe, pass me the book please." Piper continued. "Sure." Answered Phoebe. "What's going on?" asked Paige, beginning to look very frustrated. "I'm going to ask Grams what's going on." "Grams?" asked Phoebe. "Mm-hmm. Your destiny still awaits, she says. There's a reason for everything, she says. So, it's time to summon her transparent butt back here and find out exactly what that reason is.". Without pause, she slammed the book down at the podium and flipped to the 'Summon a Ghost' page. She took a deep breath and before she could say anything, Paige said, "Okay, but what should...". "Here these words. Hear my cry, spirit from the other side. Come to me, I summon thee. Cross now the Great Divide!". Then, she lets out a semi-satisfied sigh. Grams appear in a bright light. "Piper? Why are you calling? P-Phoebe, Paige, wha-what's going on?" Grams asked. "Grams, why does the triquetra on the book suddenly changed?" asked Piper, holding the book up. "I do - I don't know." She lied. Suddenly, Piper slammed the book down again and looked up at Grams. "You know what, Grams? You were an already the worst liar in the universe when the issue about Paige came up, and now and now, I have to say you suck at it.". Grams gave a surprised look at Piper, but surprisingly, she does not show any anger in her face even in such audacity of Piper. "If you know something, Grams, you have to tell us. We deserve to know." Said Paige, walking towards the podium. "I can't. I'm sworn to secrecy." She replied. "Again? Oh my god, that is such a cliché." Said Phoebe, tossing her arms back to her waist. "By who?" asked Paige. "Do we need to ask?" said Piper sarcastically. Suddenly, a swirl of white light appeared and Patty Halliwell emerges from the light. "By me." She said. "Mom?" asked Paige, with a surprised look. Piper and Paige however, were not . "Again huh? Mom, how many boyfriends did you have?" asked Piper, crossing her hands. "Actually, just.......three." she answered. "Three? You bore children for all three of your boyfriends?" asked Paige, raising her eyebrow. "Actually she did not. She donated her ovum to the hospital. A very stupid move." Grams said. "Mom, I told you, that was before I got married to Victor." Patty said to her mother. "Okay, enough of this mom and daughter thing . What happened?" asked Piper. "Well, there were two people who are in love with me years ago. One's of course, Victor and the other's Harmon a military servicemen working under the Navy." Patty said. "well, your mother's in love with your father more than that Rabb guy." Grams continued. "Then, of course, I married your father and gave birth to Prue and the story basically just ends here." "Not exactly." Grams replied. "Yeah......6 months after I gave birth to Paige (where she turns towards her and gave a smile), Harm married a woman in Asia and got my ovum donation through the government and his wife got pregnant." "With her powers too." Grams suddenly said. "I didn't know it that time" argued back Patty. "Anyway, the reason why we never told anybody because we were afraid that there would be reprisals, afraid that, you girls would be dined your powers. Your birthright. Even you, Paige." "Of course, we knew we have to do something, so we watched his birth and cast a 'Time-Loop' spell on him." Grams continued. "Time-Loop spell?" asked Phoebe. "Yes, it makes the person go on loops of his life, it would be as if, he never aged, matured in anyway, stuck in his years not remembering all the things that happened in the past loops." Grams replied. Paige suddenly gave a disgusted look. "I know it's cruel, Paige, but that's the only way we can assure that your future was not affected. The spell we cast dwells on a conduit which is Peter's parents...." "His name is Peter?" asked Paige. "Yes. We named him." Said a smiling Grams. "Hmmm......another 'P'. Imagine that." Phoebe said. "Shh....."said Piper, interrupting her and said to Patty, "Go on." "But due to the recent accident, the spell we cast broke and he's starting to gain his powers, which made him the spirit that binds the Power of Three together. Without him, the circle will never be complete." Patty said as she pointed towards the book. Suddenly, Paige said, "All right, hold it. Wait just one minute. Are you telling me, that that boy, is really... our brother?". "Your baby brother." Said Patty. "Their baby half-brother." Corrected Grams. "But by my half, which makes her a brother witch. Well, actually, not yet anyway. Not until all four of you are here together by the Book. Just like before." "Charmed. Again." Grams said, smiling. "Okay, well this is way too much for me to handle. Way too much." Said Piper, turning away from everyone in the room. "Nobody can blame you for being angry, sweetie." Said Patty sympaticly. "Angry? Yeah, I'm angry. Um, I'm confused and you know what? This - this is just crazy. You cannot float in here after all these years and go, "Oh gosh, I forgot, by the way, you've got a brother."" Said Piper as she threw her hands up in frustration. "I know it's a lot, sweetie. More than anybody should have to deal with, but you're going to have to deal with it the best way you know how. Learning about a brother... this is your, path. This is your destiny. Get angry at it, cry about it, but don't fight it. Or it'll consume you. Like the last time you tried to fight it." Said Patty, still focusing on Piper. "Come on, Patty. The rest is up to them." Grams said as they disappeared into thin air. "Okay, now what are we gonna do?" asked a confused Phoebe. "Leo, can you sense him?" asked Paige. "I can't sense where he is because he's technically not a witch yet." Replied Leo, turning to Piper who just looked up and said, "Well try a spell."

Drizzles of rain drops on the window adjacent to Harm's room. He's been brooding over his laptop for two hours now, waiting for the conformation e-mail. Sipping his coffee, he laid on the sofa when, suddenly, his cell phone rang. "Hello?" he said. "Harm, it's me. Mac" "Oh, hi....so...what's on?" "Nothing....Harm, just feel like ......calling you.......er......Harm, what's wrong?" "Huh? Oh, nothing's wrong. Everything's fine here." His voice croaking. " You seem off today. Is it Sergei?". Harm almost chocked on his coffee, indeed, he's always been protective over his Russian half-brother, but this time it is something else. "No, Sergei's fine, actually his having dinner now with Lt. Singer." He said with a grin. "Yeah, hope he doesn't regret before it's too late." Joked Mac. "Yeah." Harm smiled. "I heard from the Admiral that you are taking a 2 weeks break?" asked Mac. "Yeah, family business that require overseas travel." Harm said looking at his laptop's screen. "Russia?" asked Mac. "No! I had enough of Russia already. It's somewhere warmer. Malaysia." He replied. "Malaysia? What family business do you have in such a place?" asked Mac. "Beats me but its worth to check it out." He said. "Yeah." Replied Mac. Suddenly, a window popped up on the screen, notifying Harm that an incoming mail. "Er....Mac, I have to go now, I'll call you later kay?" asked a very nervous Harm. "Yeah, sure. Bye" she said before hanging up and wondered about Harm's nervousness. Harm walked towards his laptop and opened the newly received mail. He took a minute to look at it before he slammed his laptop shut and stuff it in his backpack and gave Sergei a call, "Hello, Sergei? I know this is a bad time but it has been conformed. It's positive. We have to go to Kuala Lumpur NOW! I'll wait for you at the airport, kay? And what do you mean she's getting closer?"

"You sure you wanna do this?" asked Paige. "Well, do you have any clever ideas that can help? Besides, this is the only way." Said Piper as she place the last candle down and sat down on the table. "Er.....Leo, could you go down and take care of my nephew please, we need some peace...." Requested Phoebe. "Sure." Replied Leo as he walked out of the room closing the door behind him. "Okay, ready?" asked Paige. Piper and Phoebe gave their nods as they took some rosemary, cypress, yarrow root and mixed them together in the silver bowl in the middle of them as they recite the spell together, "Power of the witches' rise. Course unseen across the skies. Come to us, we call you near. Come to us and settle here", Then, they took an athame and slices their left finger of their left hand so that blood can symbolically spill directly from her heart and into the bowl as they continue to recite "Blood to blood, I summon thee. Blood to blood, return to me." Suddenly, a faint gust of wind flickers the candle, but not much else. "Nice going, Piper." Said Paige trying to press her wound on her napkin. "Let's get some rest and we'll think of other solutions later kay?" asked Phoebe, standing up. Piper didn't say anything, stood up and automatically, they embraced in a sisterly hug. Piper, smiled a bit before closing the book and blew out the candles before heading downstairs. Arm-in-arm, they exit, shutting the door behind them. A beat, then a mysterious wind returns our attention to the Book of Shadows. The symbol, the triquetra,(without the circle) on the cover begins to glow. The mysterious wind re-opens the book and magically turns to the pages to the last spell they tried to cast, "To Call a Lost Witch...".

Thousands of miles away, a young teenager was distracted by the sudden gust of wind that blew against his smooth hair moments ago. He place his headphones down and he brushes his hair, still trying to get over his parent's death. He then focused his attention on his laptop which he heard someone calling him, "Peter Ng! Peter Ng Ee Wuen!" shouted the receptionist. He got up, placed his hands in his pockets and walked towards the counter. His back was turned when his laptop mysteriously logged on to Piper's club, P3 web page. "Mr. Rabb will come and pick you in no time." As she passed all the necessary forms and documents he need for his transfer, slowly, he walked back to the table and was shocked to find the web page displaying there. Somehow, he could not pull his eyes off that article as he continued to view it.
