Awakened

by charming writer

This'it folks the climaxing story to what was said in episode one The Demon's Guardian's Piper's not the only one who gets Arryo fever the source seeing this as the perfect time to attack does so Victor's in here and Leo loses his wings.

Awakened

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the charmed characters they all belong to Aaron Spelling productions except Melissa.

Authors Notes: This is series two of my charmed season which's continuing on without Dan now he's left.

Note: My stories will be a little different but still have the same outcome so the episodes fit together. All the characters of charmed including Andy Trudeau who didn't die Darryl Morris Source will be recurring characters as well as Cole who worked for the Triad. I'll be using spells from the show and some I create myself in these stories they'll be different but have the same affect and better sounding.

Extra Note: This' it folks the episode that climaxes what was said in episode one The Demon's Guardian's of when the source would attack the charmed ones after Leo's lost his wings the basis of this' the same as Awakened except for a few changes and surprises like Piper's not the only one affected by Arroyo Fever Melissa becomes the charmed ones white lighter at the end after Leo loses his wings Victor Bennett and Ethan Reynolds Prue's partner at Buckland's who appeared in Reckless Abandonment appear in here instead of Dan Gordon and Jack Sheridan.

San Francisco Bay and City Tuesday Ninth May

Various parts of San Francisco bay and city are shown whilst Amerie's " I just died's " playing.

Versus

Staring in the mirror as I start to carefully contemplate
Just really how deep is this thing I have for you
It's wearing on my heart and from the start you know I tried, steadily denied
Friendship turn to love I know you probably think that I'm so strange -
Stuttering on every word when you look my way, why?
And maybe it's all in my mind but when we hugged goodbye I had butterflies
I just died yeah, yeah, yeah

Chorus

I just died in your arms tonight don't want nobody to bring me back to life
I just died in your arms tonight hey I just died in your arms
I just died in your arms tonight, tonight

San Francisco Memorial

Piper's lying in a bed hooked up to some machines Prue Andy and Melissa who's sitting beside her are there Piper wakes up.

Melissa:Hey.

Piper:Prue? Mel? Andy?

Prue: You're awake.

Piper:What happened?

Andy:You don't remember?

Piper:I remember being in the club and talking to Cole and Phoebe and then I gotta admit it got a little fuzzy.

Melissa:You collapsed and we had to call an ambulance.

Piper:Oh great that must've been good for business so what's wrong with me?

Prue: There not really sure yet we're just waiting for the blood test results.

Piper:I'm sure it's nothing too exciting it's probably something trendy like mono or Epstein Barr.

Andy:Yeah well whatever it is you're goanna take the time to get better.

Piper: Erryou sound like Cole and Phoebe where they anyway? Where's Leo?

Melissa: I don't know we tried calling dad but he's not answering.

Andy: Maybe he's with another charge or something.

Melissa: More like the Elders don't want him here.

Andy: Why?

Melissa: Because his wife's sick and they think he'll interfere.

Prue: How by healing her and saving the power of three I wouldn't call that interfering.

Melissa: It is if your charge wasn't hurt by evil.

Prue: Yeah but if Piper dies then the power of three dies and we won't be able to vanquish to source and you won't exist.

Melissa: Lets just calm down a sec okay we don't know exactly what's wrong with her and until the doctors tell us for all we know it could be something trivial.

Prue: Hello Mel you were a doctor yourself you used to work here you can't just think this' something trivial.

Melissa: Yes I was a doctor and I never made assumptions until I got the test results.

Prue: Fine.

Hospital Hallway

Nathan: Then why do you look so sad?

Cole: Her sisters here and they don't know what's wrong with her.

Phoebe: I've seen what his type can do he's got powers he can move things and levitate astral project freeze and blow things see the future and kick box also and the really cool thing about him's he can do all this to the demon…to the bad guys inside your body without anyone ever knowing about it.

Nathan:Really? He can do all that?

Phoebe:All that yeah right outta your body all do's when you feel bad you close your eyes and just picture him fighting them for you do you think you can do that?

Nathan: Yeah.

Phoebe: Wait a sec who're they?

Dr Williamson:Medical interns they'll be viewing my work with your sister.

Victor:Why?

Dr Williamson:Because they're studying the same field as I did I'm an infectious disease specialist.

Dr Williamson and the other doctors walk into the room where Piper is.

Phoebe:Specialist? Wait.

The three of them follow them in.

Piper's Room

Dr Williamson:Mrs Halliwell I'm Dr Williamson.

Phoebe:Um he's a specialist.

Prue: A specialist what kinda specialist? Hey dad.

Phoebe: Infectious diseases.

Andy: Diseases wait he thinks Piper has some kinda disease?

Cole: Yeah.

Piper:Where's Dr Wallis?

Dr Williamson:I'll be keeping him posted how're you feeling?

Piper:Okay a little hot tired.

Dr Williamson's pager beeps.

Dr Williamson:Have you been out of the country recently? Africa, South America, Caribbean?

Piper:I wish no I haven't even been outta the city.

Dr Williamson:Well apparently you've contracted a rare blood disease not usually seen in the US Arroyo fever.

Melissa: Arroyo fever.

Prue: Wait what's Arroyo fever?

Melissa: It'sa diseasetransmitted through the bite of a sand fly which dies right after the bite.

Dr Williamson: Yes you're a doctor?

Melissa: Ex doctor.

Dr Williamson: Right well have you had anything imported brought into your home recently.

Piper:No.

Phoebe:But you have in the club what was the name of that weird fruit?

Piper:Kewano.

Dr Williamson:That's a possible carrier sometimes the fly's been known to live long enough in the crate to make the trip but rarely survives the quarantine period.

Melissa starts feeling a bit uneasy.

Piper:I think I've a bite on my shoulder.

She shows him the bite.

Dr Williamson: When did you get this?

Piper:Yesterdayjust after I opened the fruit.

Dr Williamson:(to a doctor) Okay tell the nurse I'll need ten cc's of penildron.

Doctor: Right away.

Dr Williamson:It's a high grade antibiotic which's most effective when administered through an I.V. should bring your fever down.

His pager beeps again.

Dr Williamson: I gotta run some more tests I'll be back shortly.

Victor: Excuse me she'll be okay right? I mean it's not life threatening.

Dr Williamson:Well I'll know more Mr Bennett once I've run more tests excuse me.

He leaves Phoebe sits on the bed the others stare at her.

Phoebe: Right that's it I'm calling Leo.

Prue: Phoebe we can't we tried that earlier he's not answering.

Victor: (Angry) What? Why? She's his wife.

Melissa: And the Elders won't yet him interfere.

Victor: But he can't let her die.

Melissa: Grandpa you don't understand healing a charge who wasn't hurt fighting evils a big rule breaker up there if a white lighter did that they'd lose their wings.

Andy: Meaning Leo would lose his wings?

Melissa: Precisely and without him.

Phoebe: We'd be unprotected.

Melissa: And all his charges would be to.

Prue: So we'll just have to wait and see what the doctors say then okay Mel why don't you go and get us some coffee's.

Melissa: No I'm fine that's okay.

Phoebe: Sweetie you've been there all night you need a break.

Melissa: Alright.

She gets up and goes out the room.

Cole: Okay you three need to listen to me carefully alright whatever happens now you can't be apart.

Prue: Whaddya mean?

Cole: I mean the source when he first told me to go after you three I overheard him say something about waiting for the right to attack you.

Phoebe: This must be it.

Victor: What?

Phoebe: The time what Mel said when she first came here think about it with Piper sick the power of three's down.

Cole: And the source knows the only way to get him's the spell.

Prue: Perfect time.

Andy: So what do you do now?

Phoebe: Well we'll have to get Mel and tell her (Worried) oh my god.

Victor: What?

Phoebe: I just remembered at the club last night she ate some of the fruit to.

Prue: (Worried) Oh no.

Hallway

Melissa walking towards a coffee machine starts coughing and feels woozy a nurse notices this and comes over to her.

Nurse: (Concerned) you okay miss?

Melissa: Not really I err.

She collapses on the floor the nurse bends down to her.

Nurse: (Worried) Oh my god I need some help here.

Dr Williamson sees this and goes over to her.

Dr Williamson: (Concerned) what happened?

Nurse: (Concerned) I don't know she just collapsed.

Dr Williamson: Okay let's get her in here.

He picks her up and carries her into Piper's room and puts her on a second bed by a monitor the others see her.

Piper/Melissa's Room

Dr Williamson tries waking her up.

Dr Williamson: (Concerned) Miss can hear me? Miss what's her name?

Phoebe: (Worried) Melissa, Melissa Hale she's our cousin.

He tries waking her up again.

Dr Williamson: Wake up Melissa.

Nurse: Nothing doctor.

Dr Williamson: Okay let's do some tests see what we've got here and put her in a hospital gown.

Phoebe: Wait I think I might know what she has.

Dr Williamson: Excuse me?

Phoebe: The fruit that my sister ate Mel had some of it last night to.

Dr Williamson: Okay then nurse gets me ten ccs of penildron.

Nurse: Yes doctor.

She goes to get that whilst others are undressing Melissa they notice a mark on her neck.

Nurse Two: Dr Williamson you'd better look on her neck.

He does so.

Dr Williamson: That's the same bite mark Piper Halliwell has so she's got Arroyo Fever to okay take some bloods and do the same tests as Piper.

Some doctors take her blood and leave by the corner door the rat demon in animal form scurries into another room transforms into his human form and shimmers out to the source's lair.

Hall Of Elders

Leo's standing in front of some golden robed Elders.

Elder Ramus: I'm sorry Leo but you know the rules.

Leo: But there my family I have to be with them.

Elder Zola: We understand but you can't interfere.

Elder Ramus: We're sorry Leo.

Source's Lair

The rat demon's talking to the source whose there with the Oracle.

Source: So there both in hospital?

Rat Demon: Yes hooked up to monitors doctors are checking what's wrong with them.

Source: This' even better than I dreamed Oracle not only's Piper sick but Melissa to.

Rat Demon: Now you can vanquish them with Piper sick the power of three's vulnerable.

Source: Not in hospital I'd need to get them on there own away from their family.

Rat Demon: What makes you think you'll get them on there own if Belthazor's told them you're goanna come after them they won't leave the hospital.

Oracle: They will to save their sister and niece.

Rat Demon: How do ya know?

Oracle: Because the Elders won't let Leo interfere he'd lose his wings if he did.

Source: Which's what I'm waiting for?

Rat Demon: Okay then if Leo's the problem why not sends a dark lighter after him?

Oracle: Because as long as the Elders keep him up there no dark lighter can kill him.

Piper/Melissa's Room

Prue's walking round the room talking on her cell with Ethan whilst everyone else's sitting down.

Prue:So you've had a chance to look at the thread density results on the Monet?

Ethan:Yeah you were right there are some unexplained thread markings in the area around the station and at the signature.

Andy: Its okay Victor Mel does have I.D. well fake I.D. we got it after her future changed a friend of mine who works in witness protection owed me a favour.

Cole: Right and all the blood tests will shows how extensive the Arroyo Fever is I'd seriously doubt it'll show anything else.

Blood Testing Room

A doctor sitting on a stalls looking into two Petri dishes with Piper and Melissa's blood samples in them he takes of them shocked.

Doctor: Dr Williamson you'd better look at this.

Dr Williamson comes up to him.

Dr Williamson: What is it?

Doctor: I've just looked at the blood samples and they both match identically by seven common factors.

Dr Williamson: (Shocked) There mother and daughter impossible.

Doctor: Absolutely but even though Piper Halliwell's Arroyo fevers more advanced.

A printer bleeps beside them and a piece of paper comes out the doctor takes it and has a look.

Doctor: They definitely match.

He takes the paper and has a look.

Dr Williamson: (Shocked) But that can't be she's their cousin.

Doctor: Well if that's what they told you then Curtis there lying because from these test results she's more than that.

Dr Williamson's pager beeps he looks at it and rushes of.

Hallway

Dr Williamson runs down and goes into Piper/ Melissa's room and closes the door the others are waiting outside.

Victor: (Worried) what's happening?

The doors open Dr Williamson appears.

Prue: Dr Williamson?

Dr Williamson: Unfortunately your sister's conditions worsened and her immune systems not as strong as we thought and the antibiotics are having no effect on the disease.

Phoebe:So what do you do now?

Dr Williamson:Well there's nothing more we can do.

Andy:What do you mean? What're you saying?

Dr Williamson:Well either Piper pulls out of the coma on her own or I'm afraid your sister's not goanna make it.

They all start crying.

Relatives Room

The gang are in there talking.

Andy: You crazy? Do you know what you're saying?

Prue: Yes we have to save Piper.

Cole: But what about the consequences personal gain?

Prue: How's it personal gain when innocents are saved and the power of three's not broken?

Andy: Because that's how magic works right?

Phoebe: So what else can we do we can't call Leo.

Andy: And you two can't leave the hospital.

Prue: Phoebe can.

Phoebe: You mean Astral Projection? But I can't control it yet.

Prue: Of course you can if you can get premonitions then you can control this also.

Phoebe: What about my unconscious self?

Prue: We won't let anything happen to it don't worry.

Cole: And what about the source?

Prue: Well if he attacks her then she'll have to project back here quickly as possible.

Phoebe: Prue.

Prue: Phoebe please your our only hope.

Knowing Prue's right she puts her reading glasses on closes her eyes and concentrates on astral projecting working successfully her head lowers down.

Attic

She appears by the book of shadows.

Astral Phoebe: Okay.

She starts flipping through the book and comes to a page called an "Awakening spell" which she reads out to herself over and over.

Astral Phoebe: TROUBLED BLOOD WITH SLEEPS UNEASE REMOVE THE CAUSE OF THIS DISEASE SLEEP ETERNAL NEVER MORE AND SHIFT THIS SOURCE OF ILLNESS BORNE TO THIS PUPPET WHOM NONE SHALL MOURN okay that's it.

Just then the source flames in.

Source: Hello Phoebe.

She looks up at him he throws a fireball at her she ducks under the pedestal he conjures another fireball and throws it at her she astral projects out back into her body as the fireball hits the pedestal splitting it apart the book falls on the floor.

Relatives Room

Andy: Do you think he'll come here?

Cole: Not without exposing himself no.

Prue: What about a spell.

Phoebe: I did find one an "Awakening spell".

Prue: And?

Phoebe: We need a puppet and some of Piper's blood.

Prue: Okay then.

Andy: Wait what about Mel? Can't you save her to?

Phoebe: No we'd need another puppet for that and I can only get one.

Prue: Well then we'll just have to figure out another way to help her later.

The girls leave the room.

Hallway

Prue: Do you really think the awakening spell will work?

Phoebe:There's only one way to find out.

Prue: Alright I'll get Piper's blood.

Phoebe: And I'll get the puppet.

Piper: (Worried) Mel what happened?

Prue: It's okay sis we'll tell you later.

Dr Williamson:This doesn't make any sense fevers gone and vitals are normal I've never seen anything like it the infections gone too (to the nurses) draw some blood I wanna run comparatives.

Nurse:Yes Doctor.

Inside the bin the ninja sits up a nurse walks over and puts something in the bin the ninja pushes his sword through the plastic and it pokes the nurse on the leg.

Nurse:Ow!

She walks away the ninja then cuts through the plastic and jumps out.

Hallway

Dr Williamson's talking with a nurse called Mandy.

Mandy: Yes doctor.

She gets an oxygen mask from the drawer and places it over Melissa the others look on worried the rat demon who's come back transform into human form somewhere else and shimmers out.

Source's Lair

The source, Oracle and rat demon are there.

Source: (Angry) what how can she be cured? I thought Leo losses his wings?

Oracle: Maybe he will I mean if they've cast the spell then surely there'll be some consequence to that and if Melissa's now in Piper's position then they'll go home and try an save her to.

Melissa's Room

Time lapse Piper's sitting by Melissa.

Piper: (Angry) whaddya you think you were doing casting a spell? And nearly getting killed by the source?

Phoebe: We were saving your life that's what and I'm fine.

Piper: Until he attacks again and the spell didn't save Mel's life did it and now she's dieing?

Victor: I'm sure Mel will be fine sweetie she's a fighter.

Piper: Yeah but a mothers not supposed to outlive the life of their child.

Prue: Piper don't worry look if we found a spell at home to help you then we'll find one for her.

Piper: What about personal gain?

Phoebe:If there were any consequences wouldn't we've seen them by now.

Andy:Yeah maybe saving a protector of the innocent isn't really personal gain.

Piper: I hope your right.

Prue:Ooh, ooh god I almost forgot about the Monet I have to call Ethan.

She does so via her cell.

Hospital Room

His cell phone rings.

Dr Williamson:Yeah? Okay put them both on penildron though I doubt it'll do them any good call me if there's any changes.

Hallway

He hangs up a doctor called Seiger walks up to him.

Dr Seiger:And what can the centre from disease control do for you this day Dr Williamson?

Dr Williamson:I've really got something for you this time Seiger else I wouldn't have called you.

Dr Seiger:You know it's not very ethical to try and get the government to validate your findings just so you can get published.

Dr Williamson:This'll get me more than published I've got an outbreak of Arroyo fever in this hospital.

Dr Seiger: That's impossible Arroyo fever isn't contagious.

Dr Williamson: It is now I've got three patients with the disease in isolation.

Dr Seiger:How'd they get it?

Dr Williamson:I don't know but however they did has something to do with the people who first came down with it.

Dr Seiger: So it's come from both of them?

Dr Williamson: No the second ones in a coma it's the first one I'm worried about

Attic Wednesday Tenth May

Phoebe's looking in the book with her glasses on whilst Piper's bottling up some potions and Prue's on her cell to Ethan.

Prue: Look I understand what your saying Ethan but we can't keep fooling ourselves from what you've told me about the painting it's not real yes okay it looks perfect from the outside and it makes sense to just ignore the truth and pretend that there's nothing wrong but we can't do that I mean yeah it's from his school but Monet didn't paint it one of his students did.

Ethan:You sure?

Prue:Positive.

Ethan:So what.

Prue:So what?

Ethan:Prue if someone wants to believe in something that mayn't altogether be true but its true enough for them then what's the harm in letting that is?

Prue: Because it's unethical Ethan and I couldn't live with the fact that someone paid thousands of dollars for a fake.

Ethan: Come on Prue you've seen the reports profits down and if we don't make some money soon Buckland's could shut down and we'd lose our jobs.

Prue: There are other jobs Ethan and other auction houses.

Ethan: Not ones that pay this good.

Prue: No they might not pay this good but at least our consciences will be clear.

She hangs up.

Prue: Found anything?

Phoebe: Nothing except the "Awakening spell".

Prue: Okay then we'll just have to find another puppet somehow the source?

Piper: I've made the strongest potions I can if he comes near us we can use them on him.

Prue: Good lets go.

They walk to go downstairs but the source appears in front of them throwing fireballs they each all duck out the way.

Prue: Run.

They turn and run as the source fires more fireballs they hit the wall.

Hallway

Piper: The door quick.

They run towards the front door the source flames in behind them throwing three more fireballs Prue quickly turns round and levitates up to the ceiling whilst Piper freeze/blows up her fireball and Phoebe ducks out the way as her fireball hits a wall.

Prue: (Angry) Hey.

Prue flings the source against the staircase then comes down.

Prue: Piper the potions.

Piper quickly gets out the potions and throws them all at the source he groans in pain as blood starts pouring from his body and flames out.

Prue: Everyone okay?

Phoebe: Yeah I think so great potions Piper.

Piper: Thanks yeah did we get him?

Prue: We must've yes you saw the blood coming out his body I don't think he'll be back in a hurry lets go.

The front door suddenly opens and Dr Seiger and some people from disease control come in.

Dr Seiger:Piper Halliwell?

Piper:Whoa what's going on?

Dr Seiger:I'm Dr Seiger from the centre from disease control we've a court order to take you and your sisters into custody and have quarantined your club until further notice.

Conference Room

There are lots of reporters and cameras there asking Dr Williamson questions.

Dr Williamson: No I wouldn't classify this as an epidemic at this stage although that's for Dr Seiger from the C.D.C. to determine not me all I can tell you's an outbreak has occurred in the hospital and we've contained it.

Reporter:Dr Williamson how do you know it's contained? How can you be sure?

Dr Williamson:Because we've identified the initial carrier.

Reporter Two:Who's it? What's his name? Is it a patient?

Dr Williamson:We've identified the initial carrier and we brought her and anyone she may've affected down in the isolation ward.

Reporter Two:Is it true they closed down the night club called P Three because of the outbreak?

Dr Williamson:That's a question that can be answered by Dr Seiger.

Dr Seiger:Yes I can confirm that an establishment called P Three has been quarantined but only as a precautionary method.

Isolation ward

Piper, Phoebe Andy, Cole and Victor are there in hospital garments Phoebe's knocking on the door.

Phoebe:Hello? Remember us?

A nurse talks into an intercom outside the room.

Nurse:I'm sorry we can't hear you what's it that you want?

Phoebe:We wanna get the hell outta here that's what we want.

Nurse:Dr Williamson will be right in to discuss the situation.

Piper:Discuss what? I feel fine.

Nurse:Dr Williamson will be right in.

She leaves.

Victor:This' ridiculous why won't they tell us anything?

Piper:They're lucky they're in the other room I'd freeze their butts.

Phoebe: (to Cole) you okay?

Cole: No if they look at my blood and find out what I am.

Phoebe: We'll figure it out.

A doctor opens the door and Prue walks in.

Andy:Oh honey thank god.

Piper:You're obviously not here to get us out.

Prue: No I just had someone from C.D.C. take a quart of blood from me.

Phoebe:Ditto.

Piper:Well they might as well have taken all of mine they've shut down the club.

Phoebe: At least we got the source.

Piper: Yeah but that won't mean much if P Three's closed we won't be able to vanquish anymore demons or keep the house because our main source of income will be gone.

Prue: Yes it will once this whole thing is straightened out.

Andy:I've a feeling it won't be that easy we overheard some doctors talking there's others here that are infected with the disease.

Phoebe:But I thought it wasn't contagious.

Prue:So did us.

She sees the intercom.

Prue: Can they hear us?

Piper:No.

Victor: Okay how did other people in the hospital get the disease?

Andy:Its must be a consequence of the awakening spell you two cast.

Prue:I've a bad feeling that's not the only consequence.

Phoebe: What about Mel?

Cole: Still in the coma so they don't think it's her.

Nathan's Room

He's asleep the ninja walks in.

Isolation room

Dr Williamson walks in.

Dr Williamson: Sorry to keep you all waiting.

Phoebe:What no mask?

Dr Williamson:No I don't need it none of us do however the diseases being spread its not airborne I just ruled that out.

Piper:Great then we're free to go our cousin.

Dr Williamson:Afraid not.

Victor:You can't keep us here.

Cole:Actually by law he can.

Dr Williamson: Exactly and not just because your sister circumvented it by opening the undisputed fruit but because she's carrying a rare disease that has every possibility of spreading to epidemic proportions.

Prue: I thought you said it wasn't contagious.

Dr Williamson:Arroyo fever isn't supposed to be contagious.

Phoebe:Well maybe you misdiagnosed it then.

Dr Williamson:I didn't and aside from the fact that I've no idea how this diseases being spread there's another little mystery that's concerning me your recovery makes no clinical sense your blood has no antibodies which means your immune system has never fought it off by all medical standards you should be dead by now Mrs Halliwell.

Piper:What's the matter doctor? Don't believe in miracles?

Dr Williamson:Not the kind that doesn't leave traces and only happens to you and not your cousin who isn't even that actually.

Andy: Whaddya mean?

Dr Williamson: I mean the fact that the woman lying in the other hospital room isn't really your cousin but actually your daughter which's absolutely impossible care to explain that?

They don't answer.

Dr Williamson: Okay then maybe you'd like to explain why I've got six people infected and there's nothing I can do to save them unless I figure out how it is you survived I'm goanna run a series of tests on all of your blood work even DNA sampling maybe it's a genetic marker I don't know but I'm goanna find out and you're not leaving until I do.

He leaves.

Phoebe: (Worried) how can they've fought out about Mel and Piper?

Piper: Our blood samples must've showed them something when they tested them.

Andy: And now six people are infected with the disease because of the spell you guy's cast how's that possible?

Prue:When we did the spell we must've awakened everything in the room including the disease.

Phoebe: And if they fought out about Mel and Piper do you think they could find out about us that we're witches?

Cole:I don't know but your first priority's to figure out how to help save these people.

Phoebe:Yeah but even if we can find a spell to save them how do we prevent it from spreading to other people.

Piper:You have to reverse the spell.

Prue: No Piper we can't reverse the spell because.

Phoebe:You'd go back into the coma and die.

Piper:Then maybe I'll have to die.

Prue: No we're not letting that happen.

Piper: Prue I don't think you've much of a choice.

Prue: Okay but even if there was a reversal we don't know it anyway.

Phoebe:Yeah and they won't let us outta here to get it.

Piper:Phoebe can get it.

Phoebe: No I'm not projecting to the house again forget it.

Piper: Yes you will because you won't let anyone else die.

Phoebe: And what about Mel? What if she survives and finds out your dead huh do you know what that'd do to her?

Piper: (Upset) if Mel goes the way I did Phoebe I don't think she'll survive and I can't let her go along or let those people die.

Phoebe: Piper.

Piper: Please just do this for me Phoebe.

Looking sad Phoebe nods her head puts her glasses on and focuses on astral projecting.

The Hall Of Elders

Leo and Melissa are standing there.

Melissa: (Pleading) But you can't clip his wings.

Elder Ramus: I'm sorry Melissa but Leo broke the rules a very big rule.

Melissa: By saving mine and mom's live and the power of three's if he hadn't done that I wouldn't exist meaning the future power of three wouldn't exist meaning I wouldn't come back and tell them about the source and he will just come in and destroy them which's what he'll do if he finds out what's happened.

Elder Zola: We understand your giving's Melissa but we can't change the rules.

Melissa: So what'll happen now?

Elder Ramus: The charmed ones will get a new white lighter.

Melissa: And how long will that take before the source kills them?

Elder Zola: We're sorry about the selection process but it takes time we can't just let anyone be their white lighter.

Melissa: So let me become their new white lighter then I've done it before when dads not been around they trust me and I know what to do.

Elder Ramus: Even so you're only half white lighter Melissa you don't have all the powers especially healing and your not immortal you can still be hurt.

Melissa: So I'll be very careful I have been so far and you can just give me the power to heal.

The two Elders debate this.

Elder Zola: Alright then it shall be done.

Melissa: And dads other charges will be reassigned?

Elder Ramus: They will yes.

Their hands glow over Leo removing his powers and then glow over Melissa giving her healing.

Prue's Office

Prue's putting all her stuff in a box Ethan walks in.

Ethan: Hey I just heard you outta your mind?

Prue:Probably.

Ethan:Come on Prue you can't be serious you can't just quit.

Prue:I already did I turned in my resignation and Cauldwell accepted it.

Ethan:Why just because he doesn't agree with you about selling the Monet?

Prue: It's not authentic Ethan

Ethan:You know what? Buyer's think it is and they've been thinking that way for over a hundred years.

Prue: So it's worth whatever people are willing to pay for it right?

Ethan:Yeah right.

Prue:No it's wrong or at least in my book it is and that's the way it used to be here before the take over before everyone cared more about the sell than what they're selling.

Ethan:Including your partner right?

Prue:Ethan it's not about the painting or Buckland's new philosophy I've been thinking about this for a while a lot has happened to me in the past year and a half I've seen things I never imagined existed and it's changed me it's made me wanna make changes.

Ethan: So what're you goanna do?

Prue:I don't know just take some time to figure it out look what happened to Mel and Piper gave me a wake up call and made me realize life's too short to be wasting my time doing something I really don't wanna do I'll see you around Ethan.

She grabs her box and leaves.

P Three

Phoebe:Looks like someone's learnt their lesson.

Piper:Yeah the hard way unfortunately.

Prue:Still the clubs doing okay doesn't look like quarantine ruined business too much.

Piper:Thanks to no cover charge and free drinks err what's taking them so long they've been up there hours?

Andy: I'm sure everything's okay.

Piper: No it's not I know something's wrong.

Phoebe: Well Leo did heal you and Mel when he wasn't supposed to that's pretty huge.

Piper: I know and he's not even here so I can thank him.

Phoebe: Well at least your alive to I mean just because we're witches doesn't mean we're above the laws of nature.

Phoebe:Or the Wiccan ones.

Piper: I know you don't have to tell me twice I'm not taking anything for granted anymore.

Prue: Ditto.

Andy: Yeah honey welcome to the ranks of the unemployed I'm so proud of you I think what you did was very brave.

Prue:Thanks honey.

They kiss Leo and Melissa appears.

Cole: Here they are.

Piper: Hey you okay?

Melissa: A little tired you?

Piper: Same.

Phoebe: So what happened?

Leo: Well obviously they fought out what I did and clipped my wings.

Prue: (Shocked) What? Oh my god.

Phoebe: But they can't clip your wings for saving your family.

Leo: Actually they can.

Piper: So what'll happen to us?

Leo: You'll get a new white lighter.

Prue: Who?

Melissa: Me you'll get me.

Phoebe: You.

Melissa: Yeah I asked the Elders and they accepted.

Cole: Is it permanent?

Melissa: I won't know yet.

Piper: And you're other charges?

Leo: They'll be reassigned.

Melissa: Right so what about you three? Sorted everything?

Prue: Don't worry we managed to sneak back into the hospital and get everything we needed and erased all their memories of what happened and burned all the evidence earlier.

Melissa: Good we don't want anything like that happening again.

Piper: No we don't.

Phoebe: (Smiling) Hey do you realize something? We defeated the source.

Cole: Phoebe you didn't vanquish him.

Phoebe: No I meant we dealt him a serious blow and sent him running with the tail between his legs we should celebrate.

Prue: Yes your right we should definitely celebrate.

They all laugh and heads towards the bar.

The End
