You guys know the drill. I do not own any Charmed characters and never will. However characters I create are mine as they came out of my imagination. Also Cole is almost fully human except shimmering. Let's see, ah yes, Cole and Phoebe arenít married yet, and he isnít the Source. It's set around mid-fourth season. I have periodically place notes in here to remind you of important things.

Piper was already downstairs cooking. She had the coffee ready and waiting. Being bored and left with no one to talk to, her mind began to wonder. She
wondered if Prue thought about them anymore. She was still worried because, Phoebe was getting sort of depressed. She spends a lot of time in Prue's room,
and she has been harsh to Paige lately. She hoped it would pass.
"I'm glad Paige is at work, it'll give Phoebe and I a chance to talk," Piper thought to herself.

Phoebe was back in her room, getting dressed. She was putting her make-up on when she saw Prue standing behind her. She turned around and she was still
there.
"Prue ? "She asked.
"Phoebe, you can see me?"
"Yes, "she jumped up and embraced her sister.
"I thought I saw you this morning too."
"You did. "Prue replied. "I have been keeping watch over Piper and you."
"Prue come one, "Phoebe said like when she was little.
Phoebe dragged Prue down the stairs to the kitchen. Piper was sipping coffee reading the paper.
"Piper." Phoebe said in a low tone. "Look"
"Phoebe if you're..." Piper stopped in mid-sentence.
"Prue !" She cried, she embarrassed both of her sisters.
"Is it really you ?" Piper asked.
"Yes, in spirit, but only flesh and blood can see me."
"So does that mean Paige can see you? Leo can't ?" Phoebe questioned.
"Leo knows, he arranged this. I choose this over being a white lighter. Paige can see me as well. After all she is flesh and blood."
They all just stood there staring at each other. They talked for awhile about things. None of them realized how late it was. Until Paige walked in.
"Piper, Phoebe? Anybody home ?" She called.
"In here ," called Piper. "We want you to meet some one."
Paige walked into the living room, and stopped.
"Is that. But wait.... Umm..."she stumbled over her words.
Prue stood up.
"Paige, so nice to be seen by you. "Prue said.
"Prue ? " She asked in shock.
"Yes, Paige. I have been watching over Piper and Phoebe. And then all of a sudden Phoebe can see me. Now all of you can. "Prue explained.
Phoebe was still sitting down, looking at Prue. She wondered if she was dreaming. If she was imagining such things. She knew she wasn't, but how could there
be four Charmed Ones.
"Umm ...I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back. "Phoebe lied. She had lied to her sisters before, but this time was different. It was for a good reason.
She walked into the bathroom.
"Leo.. Leo.. "She whispered"
There was no response.
"Leo get your lazy white lighter rear down here. "Phoebe called a bit louder this time.
Leo orbed in, with a worried look on his face.
"Phoebe, what is it ? "Leo asked.
"Prue, and four...."She couldn't even finish her sentence.
"I know, that's what I'm trying to fix. They don't know why you can see her. Your not supposed to. There can only be three Charmed Ones. The prophecy is
untrue now. You, Piper, and Paige have to find a way to Prue back. "He explained.
"Leo, we just got her back. We're not going to loose her again."
"Phoebe, you're being selfish. Just so you and Piper can have Prue back, you're going to make Paige pay the consequences?"
"What are the consequences?"
"Either you send Prue back or you must get rid of Paige."
"Leo, this isn't fair. They are both our sisters." Phoebe cried.
"The rules were broken, now consequences must be paid." Leo preached.
"But for once, we didn't break them !" Phoebe said, staring hard at Leo.
"Listen I know this is hard, but rules are rules. Wait...you didn't'' summon Prue's spirit?"
"Not likely." Phoebe said as she went on to explain what had happened that morning and so on.
"This wasn't supposed to happen. You weren't supposed to see Prue again until 2004. Its too soon now. Maybe..."Leo trailed off.
He had heard the familiar call of 'Them'.
"Phoebe I must go. Look in the book and see about sending Prue back where she belongs."
Before Phoebe could dispute it, he orbed out.

She walked out of the bathroom, and went back downstairs, where her sisters were getting acquainted again. She grabbed a camera off the shelf and quickly
took a group picture. Secretively of course.
"Prue, your room is still as you left it. Why don't you, I don't know, change, bathe, or something." Phoebe suggested.
"Good idea, Pheebs." Prue said while walking up the stairs.
Phoebe grabbed Paige and Piper and pushed them into the kitchen.
"Okay, big problem! There can't be four Charmed Ones. And they don't know why we can see Prue. We weren't supposed to, and either Paige has to suffer or
we send Prue back." Phoebe stopped finally. Looking from sister to sister.
"Phoebe," Piper said breaking the silence. "How did you figure this all out?"
"Well, I called Leo. He said to look in the book."
"What are we waiting for?" Paige said walking out of the kitchen, making her way to the attic.

Prue stumbled around her room. Remembering so many things. She laughed when she thought of Phoebe and Piper, gluttony and lust. Hmm... speaking of lust.
Where's Cole I wonder? Oh well...Prue thought as she put on some different clothing.
