Chapter 1: "Charming Willow"
--Halliwell Manor: 3:35am--
Piper is in the attic desperately trying to bring her sister, Prue, back to life.
"Blessed by power of three, bring my sister back to me!" she cried.
"By the power thus in me, and the power that's to be restore the power of three!" she continued to read from The Book of Shadows.
"Here sounds the witches call to that concern all bring my sister through the hall!" she read.
"By the power vested in me let the one I call come to me!" she read breaking out in tears.
Just then Phoebe walked in.
"Piper, why are you still up it's 3:40 in the morning?" she asked glancing at her wristwatch.
"Why isn't there a spell in this damn book to bring back the dead?" cried Piper.
"I don't know," said Phoebe breaking up.
Piper flipped through the pages.
"A fallen witch is now before us restore her soul to that by Horus, by my hand you take the blood that feeds the gallivant and distort us, return to which it's rightful place and before it stall bestow us!" she cried.
"Piper, Piper, I know, I know!" cried Phoebe.
"We can't go to bed!" cried Piper.
"Yes we can and we will," said Phoebe.
"If we go to bed it means we're giving up and it means that she really gone and she's not coming back!" cried Piper.
"I know, but it's okay, I bet she's with Mom and Grams right now," said Phoebe.
"You think so?" ask Piper.
"I know so plus if we look bad at Prue's funeral, she's going to be really mad," said Phoebe smiling.
"Yeah," said Piper. "Let's go bed."
Piper closed the book and they left the attic.
--Sunnydale Memorial Cemetery: 4:00am--
"Why didn't they tell me when I was younger?" asked Willow
"Will, you'll survive," said Buffy.
"Buffy, that's not something to save when your kid turns 2!" yelled Willow
"Will, it's that bad, don't you think you're blowing this a little out of proportion!" said Buffy.
"Buffy, I'm adopted!" yelled Willow.
Willow, I believe we've established that, next subject.
"I don't even know my real parents names," said Willow.
"Next subject, anytime now..." said Buffy growing impatient.
"Buffy, isn't it a little late for slaying?" asked Willow.
"I guess we've been out all night, well we might as well ca..."
"Buffy, DUCK!" yelled Willow.
Buffy went low and came back up kicking and punching. The vampire did a backhand spring kicking Buffy knocking her into a tree. She got up dizzy. She held up the sword but the vampire took it. She was still dazed. He held the sword up.
"Distrosis!" yelled Willow.
Suddenly the vampire froze. He put the sword down and looked at Willow.
"You Bi..." began the vampire.
Before he could finish, he blew to smithereens.
"Oh...than-," began Buffy before getting jumped by a vampire from behind. She grunted as she struggled to free herself.
"Buff-," began Willow before she too was on the ground struggling for freedom.
"Let go!" Willow screamed.
"Astrellous, Librium-," she began so say a spell put she was muffled by the Vampires hands.
Suddenly the Vampire on Buffy, his head blew off. Buffy let out a shriek and she threw the body off her. Then the same thing happened to the one on Willow. Willow got up and she started glowing. Willow noticed a dark figure in the bushes nearby. Then she notices that a triquatra formed over her stomach. The dark figure disappeared into the night. Willow stopped glowing.
"What's going on with you? And who just saved us?" Buffy asked.
Willow couldn't explain her glowing but she had an idea on who the mystery person was.
"I-I-I don't know," Willow replied.
"We should get home," insisted Buffy.
"Y-Yeah- Yes w-we should," said Willow
They walked home. Everyone was asleep so they quietly went to bed.
--Halliwell Manor: 12:30pm--
Phoebe and Piper are sitting in Prue's bedroom.
"Piper, did you come in late last night?" asked Phoebe.
"Huh?" said Piper crying.
"Nothing," said Phoebe breaking to tears.
"Phoebe I don't know if I can through with this," said Piper crying.
"Yes you can and you will-we will! I promise, I promise, I promise!" cried Phoebe.
"Oh Prue!" cried Piper
--Halliwell Hall of Bereavement: 2:00pm--
The chairs were full mourners; Piper, Phoebe, Leo and Cole sat in the first row. There was pearly white casket at the front of the room. Underneath it was a plaque that read:
Prudence "Prue" Halliwell
1971-2001
Beloved Sister
Loved By Many, Missed By All
May You Rest At Last
The walls were lined with plaques with names, all Pipers' and Phoebe's deceased family members. They were all females.
"We are all here today to commit our sister Prudence to her next life..." said the Preacher. To Piper her words bled together she was more focused on the casket that held her sister's body.
At the end they placed her plaque on the wall next to Patty, her mother.
"Good bye, Prue," said Piper.
"See ya Sis!" said Phoebe.
They left not knowing what to do next.
--Summers' Home: 4:46pm—
Dawn is sitting in the living room watching TV; Buffy approaches.
"Hey Dawnie," said Buffy. Dawn didn't reply.
"What's the matter?" Dawn still didn't answer.
Willow yelled from upstairs.
"Buffy!" yelled Willow running down the stairs.
"What?" Buffy asked.
"Look!" said Willow in a sharp tone.
Willow looked at a book on the table and pointed to it and looked at Buffy to reassure at what she was looking at. She held out her hand and yelled: "BOOK!" and a blue and purple cloud of lightning surrounded the book and it came to Willow's opened hands as she called for it. Buffy looked amazed.
"Cool spell Will!" said Buffy.
"Yeah!" said Dawn.
"That's just it, that isn't a spell, at least not any I know," said Willow.
"Okay, not cool, if it's not a spell then what is it?" Buffy asked.
"It's a power," someone said.
They all turned around and Piper was walking through the door. Buffy stood up.
"Who the hell are you and what's happening to my friend?" she asked.
"My name is Piper, Piper Halliwell," said Piper.
"Okay...Piper get with the splainy," said Buffy
"Here goes, like I said my name is Piper Halliwell, ..." said Piper.
"We've established that, your name is PIPER HALLIWELL!" yelled Buffy.
"Right, anyways I'm a Charmed One. You see three years ago my sisters I found out we were witches and that we had a special powers. I have the power to alter the molecular tempest structure of people and objects," she went on.
"Molecular what?" asked Buffy.
"It means she can freeze stuff or blow it up, or both," said Willow.
"Yeah and my younger sister Phoebe has the power of premonition, ..." said Piper.
"Premonition?" questioned Buffy with a confused look on her face.
"It means she gets visions of things before they happen," said Willow.
"Oh," said Buffy.
"Anyways, my eldest sister had the power to move things with her mind...she died three days ago and the power of three was broken. I believe you are my half sister and will be able to reconstitute the power of three," said Piper.
"Okay," said Buffy.
"According to destiny, the third sister would have to ability to move things with her mind," said Piper.
"Well this power isn't like that so much," said Willow
"What do you mean?" Piper asked.
"BOOK!" called Willow.
The book teleported from the table and into her arms. Piper looked up with a confused expression on her face and said:
"Okay, wasn't expecting that."
