A/N: I'm a bit sad that I didn't get a review on my last chapter. I like to know what you think, so leave a review, even just to say that you don't like it.

I made a mistake in the second chapter, after some calculating, Melinda had to arrive in the year 2005.

As said before this chapters starts changing the storyline more, with the biggest change right at the beginning.

Next chapter will be not episode related. Just to make you wondering :p

Enjoy!

Desperate Housewitches

Piper looked up. She was making breakfast in the kitchen, while somebody rang the door. She didn't know anybody who would rang their doorbell, this early in the morning. Nobody else in the house was up yet. She cleaned her hands and went to open the door.

"Billie, what are you doing here this early?"

"Hi," was the only answer the blond with gave. Piper noticed the large backpack she carried with her, and the way Billie was avoiding her gaze. Like she was embarrassed about something.

"You want to come in?" She stepped aside so Billie could walk in.

"Yeah, thanks. It so strange this is still you, you look so different." The teenager walked in and sat down on the couch.

"You get used to it. It's still strange for me to look in the mirror. But something else. Why are you here? Would you meet with Paige, because she is still sleeping."

"No, it's... It's a bit of a strange questions, since I only know you for a week. It's just, it's I don't. I was sleeping by a friend of mine, but I'm kicked out of the room and I don't have nowhere to go."

"You can stay here," Piper answered the unspoken question. "I'm just making breakfast, you want some."

"Yeah, that would be great." She was relieved, she thought it would be harder to convince them to let her stay here. Naturally she couldn't tell them that the real owner of the room was coming back today and that's why she had to leave the room.

Billie just finished her breakfast when Paige walked past here, straight for the coffee machine. After pouring herself a cup, she turned around and noticed Billie. "Hey, you're here early. I asked Leo if he want to teach you some history of magic. Okay?"

Billie just nodded, and looked towards Piper. Asking her with her eyes whether she should tell Paige or Piper would. "Billie is staying here, since she doesn't have a room anymore."

"I thought you had your own room at the university."

She had to come up with an excuse. "No, I haven't. It's the room of my friend and I was staying there. But she had to go out of town for a few days, people noticed I also lived there and told the school board." Good one, but why don't I have anybody else to go to. "And they made it clear that if I was going to stay with somebody else, they would suspend me. And you're the only people I know outside of school." A plausible story, just hoping she believes it. Paige has always been the hardest to convince.

"Okay," was all Paige had to say. "I'm going to shower, I've a date later." She walked out of the kitchen as Leo walked in with Wyatt and Chris. He and Piper soon got into a discussion about Wyatt's kindergarten.

"I just hate how people act, like we're not his real parents. It's already confusing enough for Wyatt and Chris, without people rubbing in that they've lost their parents. Especially that Mandi, she is just so misses perfect."

"Relax Piper, it will work out. And for the outside world we are not his real parents. And just ignore Mandi. You're a great mother."

"Relax, how can I relax when that bitch wants to steal my son."

"She doesn't want to steal our son. Don't overreact."

Neither of them noticed Billie sneaking out of the kitchen. Good to know some things never change, they still argue about everything. She decided to go look in the book, and bumped into Phoebe on the way up.

"You're already here. Please tell me we don't have a demonic problem."

Billie sighed, did everybody have to mention how early it was. Like she normally wouldn't wake up before noon. "No, no demonic problems. I'm just staying here for a few days. I just wanted to look at the book."

"Luckily, the demon problems I mean, you can stay here as long as you want. I've a date with Dex and I would hate to miss that."

Maybe I should have said yes, then she wouldn't meet that stupid Dex. 'The father of her children', blegh. Calm down, you can tell her that. Just have faith that their lives will unfold the same way before you came back. "Have fun on your date. Oh and you might want to avoid the kitchen, Piper and Leo are having a discussion." Billie hurried up the stairs, before she would say something bad about Dex.

Phoebe watched the teenager go to the attic. Leo and Piper must be having a big discussion, looking at the speed Billie was trying to get away from them. By the time Phoebe reached the kitchen she could hear Piper angry talking about costumes she had to make, but didn't have time for, because of her witch life.

"Good morning," Phoebe decided to break up the fight. "You're doing a great job in already scaring our guest." Piper and Leo looked at Phoebe, it was that they noticed that Wyatt and Chris where still in the kitchen, listening to their fight and that Billie had gone. "She has gone to the attic."

"I'll get the boys ready for school," Leo offered before taking the boys upstairs.

"Not that I've a problem with Billie staying here, but where is she going to stay?" Phoebe asked, while following Piper to the dining room. A sewing machine was on the table.

"The couch in the attic, I guess. She seemed too sleep there just fine a few days ago." Piper took the costume that was on the table. "What do you think of this fancy costume?" Phoebe made a sound that was between a laughter and a snort.

"What lipstick should I pick. The one going with me, or the one going with the other me." Paige interrupted the conversations, holding two lipsticks next to her face, one pink and one red.

"Since were the only one who see the real you, I would go for pink." Paige started putting the lipstick on. "Why are you doing this online dating anyway, you're getting asked out a lot."

"I just want to make a fresh start, and recently I've not been asked out."

"Oh honey," Phoebe gave Paige a hug. "Well good luck on your date. I've to go see my future husband, according to every calculating there is." Phoebe grabbed her bag from the table and walked out the door.

"I don't care how many charts so looks at to see if Dex is the father of her future child. He's still a player."

"Oh, Paige."

"Don't oh Paige me. I didn't see it in front of her. But that doesn't mean I don't mean it. I mean even her own newspaper writes about it in the gossip column."

"Okay, but in the interest of sisterly harmony, don't get involved.

Leo was lecturing Melinda about the history of good magic. Like I didn't know that already, boring. She had spotted a nunchaku and was busy training her fighting skills. Leo suddenly noticed that she wasn't paying attention.

"Billie." Only the sound of the nunchakus could be heard. "Billie, are you listening to me?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Untethered magic, elders, yadda, yadda, yadda." I'm pretty rude, I should be nicer to dad, at least he is trying.

"Listen, Paige wanted me to teach you something good, and I think you're kind of making me look bad right now."

"Come on, you could teach me tic-tac-toe, she wouldn't care. She's happy to have me off her back, so she can go on her date." You really need to stop criticize their dates. You sound just like a jealous child.

Leo sighed and started talking again. "… so they created magic school."

"What is that, like Hogwarts." Maybe I should go to magic school, there are probably some books there that can help me. I just have to trick Leo in showing me, otherwise how am I going to explain that I knew where it was.

"No, not like Hogwarts. Although there are classes telekinetic, spell casting, potion making, astral projection and medieval weaponry."

She already knew all that, so while pretending to be listening, so practiced her skills further. She made the nunchaku move in the air, going in perfect motion in a steady rhythm. Yes, I can still do it. Suddenly they heard somebody smash the front door.

"Keep practicing," Leo said while walking towards the stairs.

"Shouldn't I come, what if it is a demon?"

"It's Piper. Just stay here, okay. Unpack your stuff, or something." Leo hurried down the stairs. Now that he was gone, Melinda could really see if she could still do it. She let her hands down and searched for her backpack. Apparently she was sleeping here. And she could still do it. The nunchaku kept moving in the air, without her pointing at it. She didn't really have stuff to unpack, after all she didn't expect to stay here this long.

She heard Piper and Leo arguing up the stairs and let the nunchaku fall on the ground with a small movement of her hand. She picks up a book and pretends she is reading, while listening in on the conversation.

"I didn't have time to hone my skills, with a demon attacking every five minutes."

"Still not a good idea."

"You know what, it's a great idea. While those mothers were out there making cutesy costumes, I had my nose in this book. So this book is gonna help me make a damn cute pumpkin outfit.

"You know, hon, besides personal gain. You're not gonna use magic to make Wyatt a costume."

"Oh, no? Watch me."

"You wanted a normal life, remember? Are you trying to outdo Mandi."

"Fine, no magic. But I will still make the best damn pumpkin costume ever."

Melinda had stopped pretending she wasn't listening, who wouldn't be listening with those two discussing things next to you. "You need a hand with that?"

"You can sew?" Piper asked surprise.

"Yeah, why so surprised?"

"Most people of … 19," Piper looked for confirmation to Melinda who nodded, "don't know how to make a costume."

"Well, I do. And since Leo won't take me to magic school, I've plenty of time."

It was the next morning, Piper and Billie had worked on the costume for a long time. But while Billie was upstairs sleeping, Piper was getting ready to bring Wyatt to school. And by getting ready, also heard listening to Paige rambling on Dex, who may or may not be cheating. "Paige, I told you yesterday and I tell you today. Don't get involved, let them sort it out for themselves. If he is cheating, for which you don't have enough proof, for all we know she could have been his sister, Phoebe will find out for herself." Paige obvious disagreeing with Piper, walked away, making up a plan to unmask Dex.

Proudly Piper showed the costume to Leo and Wyatt. "Isn't it great? Couldn't have done it without Billie. She really knows her stuff. Oh, Paige asked if you could teach Billie some more today. Apparently she isn't listening to me and is mangling into Phoebe's love life."

"Yes, no problem. Also that costume is great, isn't it buddy?" Wyatt nodded.

"So, what did she say? Are we going to magic school" No, it's too dangerous. There really so predictable.

"She said that it's too dangerous."

"Come on, do you always listen to what she says." Yes, he does. "You're retired, I need to learn quick. And magic school has books and apothecary and really bitchy weapons." And I really need it for my investigations. How can you save the world, if you don't know what you're saving it from.

"Which you can read about in the textbooks."

"I'm done reading." In the backpack I found my last transportation potion, grabbing Leo's hand, I smashed it on the ground, transporting them to magic school.

"You did it."

"Why do you always sound so surprised. I can do things you know. Are those demons?" She noticed the crowd in the principals room. Leo looked up and recognized the demons. He immediate pulled Billie in an empty side room.

"This is bad, this is really bad."

"How did this happen anyway? Isn't it protected by good magic."

"They must have taken over, when we faked our deaths. I was the principal of this school, before that."

"How bad is it?"

"They can wipe us all out, whitelighters, elders, witches."

"So what do we do now?"

"We gotta get out of her fast. You did bring another potion right?"

No, because I didn't have anymore and haven't had time to make them, while you didn't notice you don't even know this potion yet. Let's just use the stereotype blond. "No, do I look like I think ahead?" It would be really great if you would say yes now. Leo kept silent. "You just to run this place, how did you get home?"

"Paige orbed me. There must be a spell in one of the books, let's find it." Or I can make a spell, being a new witch really sucks. Now I've to wait till he found that stupid spell, in that stupid book.

Suddenly two demons entered the room, reacting on instinct, she used her hands to bring in the nunchaku from the hallway, knocking the demons down. Without killing them. "If we want to find the spell, we better fit in.

After changing in the demonic clothing, they walked into the principal room. While Leo looked for the book, Melinda watched the other demons. They were obvious preparing a ritual, looking at the pentagram they were going to summon some dead demon. Suddenly a woman shimmered in, with Wyatt. This is bad. "Leo," she whispered, not wanting to attract attention. He looked at her and saw his son behind her. He immediately wanted to run to him, but Melinda stopped him. "Don't get us killed, let's just find out why they want him here." Leo nodded and pretend to search for the book again, while listening in on the demons conversation. Mandi and some other demon were arguing.

"They're going to bring back the Source and then she wants to raise Wyatt as their son. You tell the sisters, while I stay here."

"I think you should tell them."

"No way, I'm staying here to protect my son. You've to go back to tell the sisters."

"You've no powers, how are you going to protect him. I'll stay here. I won't let anything happen to him I promise." They were still whispering, while watching the scene unfold. Wyatt was playing quietly and the ritual was being prepared.

"I won't leave my son."

"Leo is being a nag,

Please just send him back."

White lights surrounded Leo and teleported him away. Okay, now keep Wy safe, until they are here to defeat the Source. I don't think I can handle him alone.

Piper marched to the front door. How she could not have noticed that Mandi was a demon, or more likely possessed. She had left her son in the safety of school and he was kidnapped. She should have know not to trust Mandi, she was too involved in Wyatt's life. Opening the door she saw Phoebe attacking Paige. Well, I did told her not to mangle. "Wyatt is kidnapped." Assuming her sisters would follow, she went to the attic, which they indeed did.

"Who, what, how?" Paige inquired.

"Mandi, probably possessed, kidnapped him. We have to find him, before she hurts him." Piper had start searching the book. "Go do something." Paige went scrying and Phoebe went to look through the book with Piper. The three sisters looked up, when Leo appeared in white lights.

"Leo?" Piper asked, not understanding how he was coming here.

"Mandi kidnapped Wyatt, they are at magic school. She want to use him to bring back the Source. Billie is still there."

"You left her behind?" Paige immediately questioned.

"I didn't have a choice, she cast a spell to send me back."

"We better come up with a plan to stop the Source."

The sisters tried to make up a plan as soon as they could. Not liking to have Billie there by herself, but also not wanting to rush in unprepared. Phoebe was looking in the book, searching for the page of the Source, when she got a premonition.

"What did you see?" Piper asked, when Phoebe opened her eyes, but she was ignored. Her sister started to write down a spell.

"We have to go now, I saw the Source, while killing Billie." She grabbed her sisters hands and Paige orbed them to Magic School.

Melinda kept waiting for the Charmed Ones to arrive. In the meanwhile the ritual was ready and Wyatt and Mandi summoned the Source from the wasteland. She felt a shiver, although she had heard of him before, she had never actual seen him. The Source of all Evil was way too dangerous for her.

"Where am I? Who brought me back?" The demon asked with a voice demanding answers.

"We did," Mandi said, looking at Wyatt. The Source didn't look to happy and Wyatt was obviously scared. Mandi stood up and ran to the Source. "I was me, actually, who brought you back."

"Why?"

"Why else. Power. Yours, mine, his. One big unstoppable family."

"What power does he have, that I might covet?"

"Charmed power. And the family is dead. So the best revenge you can take on your vanquish is raising their son as your own, as evil."

"But why do I need you?"

"Every boy needs his mommy."

The Source gave the plan some thinking, but the smile on his face gave the indication he liked it. "What's your name, little boy?"

"Wyatt," Melinda answered the question for him.

"What did you say?" The Source stood up.

"That's his name. I've taken an interest in him since he was born. After all he is the one of the prophecy." Believe it, believe it. Wyatt recognized her, despite her demon outfit and orbed over to her. "He likes me. Maybe I should be his mommy." She glared at Mandi.

"Leave us," Mandi yelled at the demons surrounding them, which they all did.

"He seems more than just like you. He seems to know you, trust you." The Source walked up to her. It took all her self control not to use her powers against him. He smelled her, another shiver crawled up her spine. "There is not a drop of evil in her, she is no demon at all." Melinda used on of her hands to put Wyatt behind her. "This is too good to be true, mommy." She was busted, she was his sister, not his mother, but it wasn't time to dwell on those details. Putting up her hands, she flung the Source back.

Family from now and beyond, stand by me

To banish this evil that could be.

Defeat the Source now and forever,

Make him not coming back, absolutely never.

While saying the spell, the Source had stood up and walked towards her. Flames started to circle around his body, but he ignored them. The flames started to fade, the Source unharmed. Melinda kept walking backwards, but the Source walked faster and grabbed her neck, lifting her from the floor. "You can't defeat me without your sisters. But I've no problem killing you. Send my best to Prue." Forming a fireball in his hand, the Source was surprised when he was thrown back again. Melinda who was hanging in the air, fell down when the Source let go of her, catching her breath. Wyatt had put his shield around the two of him.

The sisters orbed into the empty classroom, where Leo and Billie hide in earlier. Carefully they looked around the corner, to see the Source having his hand around Billie's neck. But before they could interfere, Wyatt put up his shield, protecting the two blond witches.

The sisters walked into the room, reading from a piece of paper that Phoebe had in her hand. It was the same spell that Billie used before, but with the power of Three, much more powerful. Again flames surrounded the source, but this time he screamed when he was vanquished.

Paige said the spell to banish the possessor demon and Piper blew her up. Mandi unconscious body lay on the floor.

"So tempting to just leave her here," Piper commented, when they all orbed home.
