"What? What do you mean it's yours?" Paige asked confused.
"I mean," Piper said, still staring at it, "that this is the ring I wore. The ring that Leo lost. The ring Dad used to propose to Mom. That's what I mean. What do you think I mean?" She asked, slightly exasperated. She sighed.
"Maybe this will still find her. I'll go see. You two work on a vanquishing potion n case she's not in the mood to help." Piper headed to the kitchen.
Her younger sisters shrugged and also left, leaving Chris alone except for his memories and Leo. Reflecting back on the event later, Leo supposed Chris would have favored being left completely alone.
"Bianca." Chris moaned, shifting restlessly.
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
About twenty minutes later the sisters walked back into the living room where Leo was wiping Chris' face with a cool rag.
"Okay, so we found Bianca, she's at her mother's." Piper told him. Turning around, he asked,
"Little Bianca?" She shook her head slightly.
"No, the one we want." After a pause, she added, "Something to remember her by. Or not."
She handed the engagement ring that she had once worn over. Leo looked at it, almost sadly. Both were remembering the days when it had been safely on Piper's finger. As his back was turned to the sisters Paige said,
"Got the vanquishing potion so after we orb over there I'm going to…" She paused. After a moment Leo asked,
"You're going to what?" Smiling Paige told him,
"I'm going to move into Richard's house."
"Are you? Good for you." Piper told her sister.
"That's a great idea. I think I'm going to go checkout what's going on in Hong Kong." Phoebe announced.
"Cool." Paige nodded approvingly.
"Hang on a second." Leo said, standing up to face the sisters. "This isn't you guys. You must be under some kind of a spell. You have to fight this."
"How can you fight your heart?" Phoebe asked.
"Or your hormones?" Piper added.
"Yeah." Phoebe nodded before turning to Paige.
"Will you drop me off on the way to Richard's?"
"I would love to!" Paige told her sister perkily.
"Paige, Phoebe, listen to me." Leo practically begged. They just held hands and, with a few Chinese words from Phoebe, orbed off.
Piper just nodded and walked off. Chris pulled Leo's attention back to him by moaning in his sleep,
"What do I tell them?" A few minutes later Chris said, "Hurry. Before he finds us."
Leo just glanced at him sympathetically before calling for his ex-sister-in-law.
"Paige, Phoebe, get back here now. That's an order."
"Wyatt's sleeping and the monitor is in the kitchen." Piper said, walking through the living room on her way out the door.
"Okay, but Piper, you can't go. What about Chris? What about finding out why he has your engagement ring?" She just ignored him and said,
"Wish me luck." as she walked right past him.
Leo sighed, and headed back towards Chris. Before he could take more than a few steps though, he got kicked and sent flying back against the loveseat that was in the foyer.
He was unconscious, leaving Chris virtually unprotected and alone.
But not for long…
