Chapter 2: Vanquish (fixed one)

"Good morning, San Francisco. Well, looks like it's going to be a beautiful Wednesday in the Bay area…" On TV, the weather girl was saying. It was another day – exactly it was the forth day in the time loop, made by the demon named Tempus.

"Don't tell me. I already know. You spilt marinara sauce on your dress, right? C'mon Piper, don't you remember anything? At least you must realize there is something familiar around you! And why? 'Cause we're in another day of the time loop! And it was more horrible, Andy was killed by a demon and…" shouted Phoebe through the phone with Piper, but she was interrupted by her oldest sister who was just entered the kitchen.

"What did you just say? Andy got killed? No wa…Wait a sec, wasn't it what happened in the last time loop?" said Prue, realizing Phoebe had reminded her about Andy's murder, though she didn't know why she could remember it so clearly – Andy's body lying on the floor, with a blanket over him. She was so worry that she hurried prepare for leaving to check on the man that she ever loved truly.

"Ok, Piper. What ever you do, just go home, as soon as possible. And if you meet anyone name Joanna, just ignore her. We've got important job to do here." Phoebe told Piper, as she put down the phone. "Let's see…If I'm right, then Prue has told us a plan to vanquish this annoying demon without losing anything. What the hell it is?" she talked to herself, trying to remember what her oldest sister had said in the last time loop, as her thinking was interrupted by Prue's scream.

"PHOEBE! WHERE'S MY CAR? DON'T YOU TELL ME YOU PUT IT IN THE DRIVEWAY!" Prue shouted, when she saw a car which was hit by another one, and it seemed familiar.

"Oops. Sorry, but that's yours." Phoebe said. She almost forgot about that while her mind was all focus on the plan.

"I bet I'll have to catch a cab or something to get to Andy's office to check on him and that's all your fault, Pheebs." Prue murmured, as she opened the front door, when Andy was on the opposite side.

"Hey, Prue" Andy said, as he received a very tight hug from Prue, when she realized her 'true love' was okay.

"Thank God you're totally fine!" Prue exclaimed.

"Everything's fine, except that I can't even breathe right now." Joked Andy, and both smiled to each other. "Uh…Is there anyone wants to tell me what happened here?" he asked.

"You're dead, Andy. Or actually, you died. Will die…? Oh you know what I mean. But we catch a time loop so you still alive." Prue answered, not sure at the tense. She's always bad at tenses.

"Err…sorry but…time loop?" Andy replied with another question, feeling awkward with the magical world which is still a mysterious thing to him.

"Excuse me, you guys take the entire place, so how can I come in?" said Piper. She just got home from Quake after Phoebe's calling that there's a demon to fight.

"Sorry. Um, Andy, we'll explain to you later. Right now we have to get on plan." Prue said, as she pulled Andy and herself inside the manor so that Piper can come in.

"Yeah, she's right. Here it is." Phoebe added, as she gave the oldest Charmed One the paper which has her plan on it.

"Thanks Pheebs. Um…let's see…Number one, multiple me by three…right…" Prue read aloud the plan, and the first one made Piper get mad.

"What? Again? No way last time we already had so much in trouble!" The middle Charmed One yelled, disappointed.

"Hey, what does 'again' mean? You did this once?" asked Andy since he hadn't understand anything at all.

"Remember when you saw me in the morgue? That was another me. She's not the real one, if she was, I wouldn't stand here with you now, 'cause I'm dead." Prue explained. She saw the surprise in his eyes. She knew Andy shouldn't know these lots. Maybe it's just that he doesn't belong to her world.

"Ah…So that's why Phoebe said 'Thank God' when I told her 'Prue wore pink coat'." said Andy.

"You still remember it? Wow." said Phoebe.

"Back to the plan. I'll have to go to the attic, then open the Book of Shadows, then read the spell. Is there anyone have question? No? Well, let's do it" Prue said, then all of them went to the attic.

"Take my demons worries blessed be, multiply my strength by three." Prue chanted the spell, which was in the Book. Then her body began to multiple. One on the left, one on the right.

"Hmm…Prue in the center is the real Prue, and the others are not." Piper told the apart, then gave real Prue yellow coat, right Prue white coat, and left Prue green coat.

"That's it. Yellow is real, others are not." Phoebe added.

"Finish #1. Now what's #2?"asked real Prue.

"Wow, that's unbelievable!" said Andy. He hadn't seen anything weirder than that since he was born. Sure he's seen demons and ghosts, but nothing like that was on the list.

"Calm down, Andy. We know that." said Piper. Then she read "Number 2: Real Prue takes Andy out of the manor so that he won't be harmed. Okay, we take it as Andy and Prue – real one of course – go for a date." She mumbled, jealous with her older sister.

"Uh…I thought we should ready for fight, not go for a prom?" asked Andy. He was very happy, because at last he can share sometime alone with Prue.

"Of course but not with you in there. I have two me here, and real me will keep you not to go to the Manor, so you couldn't be killed, like what Piper read." said Prue.

"Yeah and 2 Prue will make the power…of four?" said Phoebe, but seemed like a question more than a reply.

"So, what are we waiting for?" asked Andy, while he extended his arm for Prue. "Goodbye everyone, make sure the plan would work!" real Prue yelled, as walking beside her beloved out of the house.

"She's so happy. I'm glad she is." Right Prue said.

"Time's up. Everybody back to work!" Piper said, as clapping her hands, making attention. "Step #3: Wait for Rodriguez at the living room, then do whatever the paper says."

"How do we supposed to know when is he going to come?" asked green Prue, while all of them walk downstairs.

"If my memories are right, then he'll come around 6 o'clock." Phoebe answered, just as Piper looked at the clock.

"Uh oh. It's six! He's coming!" Piper shouted, right before Rodriguez demolished the door. "Hello to hell, your damn witches." He said, when he was preparing for his energy ball. But suddenly he saw 2 Prues standing, and it made him shock. "What the hell…" He shouted, in disbelief, and Piper didn't lose a chance, she immediately froze him. "Everything is on its way. Now, tie him quick" White Prue commanded, and they tight Rodriguez into a chair.

"Step #4: Read this spell, all of us" White Prue said, then read with green Prue, Piper and Phoebe.

Winds of time gather 'round
Give me wings to speed my way
Rush me on my journey forward
Let tomorrow be today.

"NO!" Rodriguez shouted, as he realized that things was going bad for him.

At the mean time, at his house, Tempus was looking out the window, when he saw time was moving fast. He immediately took out his clock, and saw it turned faster and faster. Finally, it stopped at 12:01 Am. "ARGHHHHH" he shouted, then bursts into flame.

Back to the manor, 2 Prues, Piper and Phoebe were finding a way to kill Rodriguez. "I think we should use the Power of Three. But we have 4. So what?" asked Piper.

"I think we should get a new spell. The Power of Four will set us…more? No. Or what? Any idea?" said Phoebe.

"Maybe we just need Three. Wanna try?" suggested white Prue. When the others have agreed, the gang chanted aloud, "The Power of Three will set us free. The Power of Three will set us free. The Power of Three will set us free……"

"ARGGGHHHH" The demon shouted, then like Tempus, he burst into flame.

"Okay, so we have no more bussiness in here. We have to go." Both Prues said, as they disappeared in a swirl of light.

"I'll miss them" said Phoebe.

"Me too." said Piper, as they hugged each other.

"Hi everyone. How's the plan?" Prue asked, as she walked in after a 'date' with Andy.

"Hi, Prue. We've done the job. Rodriguez has gone to hell and so has Tempus – we guess so." replied Phoebe. "How about you and Andy? Bad date?" she asked Prue back, since she saw a glint of sadness in her eyes.

"Bad. Very bad." Prue answered, as she looked away, seemed like she was trying to hide her tears.

"What happened?" asked Piper, in a very calming voice, as she came closer to Prue. She was so worried for her.

o-o-o-o-o-Flash back-o-o-o-o-o

"Prue, do you remember what we told each other's here last time?" asked Andy. He and Prue were sitting at their special and also usual spot – the swing in the Golden Gate Park.

"Hmm…I warned you not to come to the manor, and I said 'Don't make me to use my power on you'. Am I right?" answered Prue. She didn't want to say the part she didn't want to remember.

"And?"

"Tell me"

"You're lying" Andy retort, since he's known Prue too well for his entire life.

"I'm not!"

"I know you better than that!" Andy said, then tickled Prue hardly. He also knew that that way would always work on her.

"Stop it! Hey hey, okay all right? I said…I love you." Prue said, blushing.

"If I asked you 'Do you love me' now, would you answer the same?" asked Andy. He wanted to sure about her feelings for him, and also his.

"I can't. I can't love you."

"Why?"

"You need to stop seeing me again, so you can be safe. Last time you died because of me, luckily I can save you. But if next time I can't? No, I can't always bet on lucky like that. Never meet me again. End of story. Okay, I'm gonna leave" She said, then stood up, and left quickly. She didn't want him to see her tears were falling. She was afraid that if he did, he won't let her go.

"Prue…" Andy tried to catch up, but she ignored him. Tears began to form in his eyes, the tears of pain.
