[Setting: Halliwell Manor. Lacey walks into the living room, yawning. She quickly ducks, avoiding a fireball. She turns her head sharply to the right.]

Lacey: What the-? (Penelope charges towards a Darklighter and jumps over him. She grabs the banister to the staircase, swings back around and kicks him in the back, sending him flying into the wall.) Okay, now let's summon my crossbow. (She moves her hand up as if to apport her crossbow and aim it, but nothing appears.) What the-?

Annie: (Rolls and lands, still facing the Darklighter.) Uh Lace, a little less standing and a little more helping would be good.

Lacey: Don't you think I'm trying?

(She rolls to avoid a fireball, abandoning her apportation plan.)

Annie: Well, try harder!

(Annie jumps up and grabs the towering support beam, using it to kick Darklighters as they charge towards her. One of the Darklighters apport their crossbow into their hand and it's loaded.)

Lacey: (walking up to Darklighter) Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you sure you want to use that arrow on her? (reaching in for crossbow) How about you just hand me the-? (The Darklighter pulls back and Lacey frowns. Taking a deep breath, she looks the Darklighter directly in his eyes.) Please give me the crossbow. Please. (The Darklighter softens up and hands Lacey the crossbow. She smiles.) Thank you. (Her smile instantly turns into a scowl and she shoots the Darklighter in the stomach with the poisonous arrow. He's vanquished and Lacey turns to other Darklighters.) Anybody else want any?

(The Darklighters all look from one to the other before being vanquished. Lacey sees Chris, Melinda, Penelope, and Annie holding athames in their hands where the Darklighters once stood.)

Melinda: Well now that that's taken care of, you three need to get to school.

Penelope: (Checks her watch.) We'll never make it in time, it's already 7:50 and we're 20 minutes away.

Lacey: Well how about I black orb us there?

Penelope: OR Annie can orb us there.

Lacey: (smirking at Annie) I see someone is a Whitelighter-Witch. I guess that means we're supposed to be sworn enemies.

Annie: (playing along) Then why not get your crossbow Miss Darklighter-Witch?

Melinda: Okay, I'll just orb you three to school. (pushing Lacey, Penelope & Annie to front door) Remember do not to tell anyone. (She looks back at Chris) Remember the plan.

Chris: I won't forget Melly.

Melinda: That's what you said last time.

(Melinda orbs out with the girls.)
