This story starts in the wasteland, when Phoebe is telling Cole love wasn't enough. What would have happened if she decided to ressurect him.

"But…loves not enough"

Cole raised his eyebrows.

"If love's not enough, then what is?"

"Fate." Said Phoebe

Cole laughed bitterly.

"Damn Phoebe! Don't you see? Fate needs Love! Without love, the world would be gone by now. What's fate then? "

" The world will never be destroyed if it's not meant to be ruined." Phoebe stated

" Alright. Without love, where would I be?"

'I….I would have killed you as soon as I found out you where a demon."

"Exactly. Without love, where would you be? What would the charmed one's be? Just some damn sisters who hate each others guts? Would a mother even care to make her child healthy and strong? Would she care if her child died?. Without love, there would be no one left. Then all fate would determine is which way the wind blows! And our love….it's not like other love's….it's something we shouldn't let anything come between. Especially not fate." Cole said

Tears began to form in her eyes.

"Ok….I'll help you. But you have to promise me, once you're alive, you'll give me time before you contact me. A few days, A few weeks, a month maybe. It won't take longer. I'll call you when I'm ready. Promise?"

"I Promise." He said

"So, how do you do that ritual?" Phoebe asked

"I remember it from the Grimwar. You're going to have to kneel." He said.
She did so.

"Now, take my hand and repeat after me.

Dead and Living, Hand in Hand,

From both sides, we command,

One is living, one is Not,

Revive the dead, is what we saught ."

Phoebe had to laugh.

"That's the great spell? It's so short and….cheesy?"

Cole smiled.

"Hey, I didn't write it. Some ancient evil guy did. And evil hasn't been known for great spells."

Phoebe shook her head., but said the spell

"Now, take my hand and repeat after me.

Dead and Living, Hand in Hand,

From both sides, we command,

One is living, one is Not,

Revive the dead, is what we saught ."

Cole fell down, eyes closed.

Phoebe gasped.

"Cole! Cole wake up! Cole!"

She tried shaking him awake, but he wouldn't wake up. All the emotions she fought since he died came flooding back.

"Baby? Baby wake up! Please! Please don't leave me, not again!"

Tears began dripping from her eyes. She buried her head in his chest, and then she realized his heart was beating.

The effect of the spell weakened him, but he's alive.

"Thank God…." She whispered. Isn't it ironic, she thought, that just a few minutes ago she was ready to leave him in the waste land to rot?
She pulled him close and Astro- Projected herself back to the manor.

Both her sisters gasped when the saw Cole her arms.

"Phoebe, what is he doing here? Isn't he-" began Paige

"No, he's not dead. Not anymore. I brought him back."

"Why?" was all Piper said. She wasn't as spiteful as Paige was, neither did she comepletly forgive Cole.

"I love him. Besides, was it his fault the source took over him? We've all been possessed, we know how it feels." Said Phoebe. "He promised to give me some time before contacting me again. We could all use this time to accept that I will be with him again. The question is, are you supporting me, or am I alone in this?"

Piper nodded.

"It's not our business who you date. If he makes you happy, sure, I support you." She stated.

Paige sighed. Her expression was a mixture of anger, and surprise.

"I don't like the guy, hell, I hate him, but if you love him enough to give him another chance I'll learn to like him."

"Thank you guys so much." Phoebe hugged each of her sisters. "This means a lot to me."

Phoebe took a seat on the floor.

"I'm going to wait here for awhile…to make sure nothing happens."

" We might need you to find Selena….. We don't want that freak FBI agent exposing us." said Piper

Phoebe bit her bottom lip.

"I guess he'll be O.K ….."

Paige sighed.

"Lets cast a protection spell on him, just incase."

She grabbed a notebook and sat on the couch.

"Rhyming Dictionary!"

The rhyming dictionary appeared in her hand in a swirl of blue lights.

"Blah, Blah, Blah, Blu, Blu Blu…..Ha, There!"

"Lemme see?" Phoebe looked over her shoulder to the notebook.

"Defenseless is he,

by the power of three,

Give him protection,

So let it be,

. ." Phoebe smiled.

"This day is just sprinkled with cheesy spells." She said

Paige shrugged. "I did it in a hurry."

"So we say that, then the power of three spell?" asked Piper.

"Yep."

"Alright, lets do it."

"Defenseless is he,

by the power of three,

Give him protection,

So let it be,"
They chanted, then the power of three spell.
A blue light surrounded Cole, but instead of having a shield around him, he just stood up.

"What…happened? Er…..Hi Who are you?"

"It's me, Phoebe…."

"Hi, Phoebe, People call me Belthazor but I like Cole better…whoa-you're one cute chick."

"Chick? Is it just me, or is he shrinking?"

It was true. Cole was now only about 5 feet tall, his features softened and he resembled a 16 year old boy.

"In fact, you all are kinda cute..." he made a face. " Except the red
head…too pale."

"Some things never change…" said Paige, rolling her eyes.

"What do you think happened?" asked Piper.

"I don't know...It wasn't supposed to make him a kid!"

"Well, we can't leave him here while we go find Selena." groaned Pheobe

"Why not? I'm not a kid, I can take care of myself!" said Cole defiantly.

"How old are you?" asked Phoebe

"16." he said

"Exactly. If you're staying, your staying in my room, locked up, no using powers." said Phoebe.

"You gunna be in there with me?" he asked wickedly.

She rolled her eyes.

"Maybe in 100 years.. literally...So, deal?"

"Deal..."
