-The next morning-
Pandora woke up the next morning, she got out of her bed rubbing her eyes and making her way to bathroom which is attached her bedroom. She turned the water on in the shower before she took off her clothes and got into the shower.
She took a quick shower before she turned the water off and got out of the shower. She wrapped a towel around her and another towel on her head as she started drying her hair with it. She walked to her full body mirror and when she opened her eyes, she was shocked to see how much she changed over the night. She would have thought she had a growth spurt over night but she knew growth spurts don't happen over night.
Pandora has always had a slim and fit body thanks to her athleticism and gymnastics but her body seems even toner now. Her curves were firmer and her assets were slightly bigger than they had been just yesterday. Her hair is longer, wavier more lustrous and the dark brown seemed to have darkened, so it looks close to being black. Her features were more delicate and more feminine. Her bright green eyes are framed by the thickest set of eyelashes, seemed larger and the color deeper, capable of pulling in and under her spell. Her lips are fuller and softer looking. Her olive skin seemed to be glowing and Pandora seems to be a few inches taller then she was yesterday.
She shook her head before drying her body before she got dressed for school. She then left her bathroom, grabbed her backpack from her bedroom before she went to downstairs and into the kitchen. Both Prue and Piper were shocked at how different their little sister looked from yesterday.

Phoebe is sitting outside on the front steps with a cup of coffee in her hands. She had stayed up all night reading. She stares out into the distance, smiling a little as she watched the light sky. When she heard the front door opened behind her, she turned her head to see that Pandora was walking out of the house.
Phoebe had to do a doubt take when she saw Pandora. The Halliwell sisters were all beautiful but Pandora being only 14, could now pass for a gorgeous college freshman if she wanted to.
"Whoa, Pandora." Phoebe said stunned at her little sister's newfound inner goddess.
"I know right." Pandora said with a bright smile as she walked down the stairs. "I woke up like this, this morning. When I looked in the mirror, I nearly had a heart attack. Prue and Piper reacted the same way when they saw me."
Phoebe was still stunned. "What... happened?"
"Don't know." Pandora shrugged her shoulders. "Don't really care either."
"So where are you going?"
"School." Pandora said as she stood at the bottom of the stairs, waiting for the school bus to get here.
"Well the most powerful Charmed One needs an education." Phoebe took a sip of her coffee.
Pandora rolled her eyes. "Please tell me that this doesn't have anything to do with the book you found last night." But before Phoebe could answer, the school bus pulls up to the Halliwell Manor. "Look my bus is here, so I need to get going."
"See you later." Phoebe calls out Pandora, who was walking towards the school bus.
Pandora waved at Phoebe and Piper, who had just came outside. "Bye Phoebe, Piper." She then got in the bus and sat down on an empty bus seat.
Phoebe looked up toward Piper and asks. "Making sure she gets on the bus?"
"You know how she got when she found out that she was only our half-sister and not a full sister. It only got worse when Grams died." Piper replied back.
"Well, she changed a lot since she found out that she is our half-sister and since Grams died." Phoebe said as she took another sip of her coffee.
"Anyway, you're up early." Piper started walking down the stairs.
"I never went to sleep."
"Don't tell me you put on a black conical hat and spent the night flying around the neighborhood on a broomstick?" Piper sat down on the stairs next to Phoebe, who was laughing.
Phoebe laughed as she shook her head. "The only broom I've ever had was kept in a closet beside a mop." She turned her head, looked at Piper for a second before taking a sip of her coffee.
Piper looks at Phoebe as she asked. "So what were you doing?"
"Reading." Phoebe then looked back at Piper. "Is Prue around?"
"She went to work early." Piper then gave Phoebe a look. "Reading aloud?"
"No." Phoebe said, assuring Piper. "According to the Book of Shadows, one of our ancestors was a witch named Melinda Warren."
"And we have a cousin who's a drunk, an aunt who's manic, a father who's invisible and Pandora's birth father is a deadbeat." Piper said as she stood up from the stairs and started walking towards her car.
"I'm serious." Phoebe insisted as she also stood up from the stairs before following Piper to her car. Before she started explaining. "She practiced powers. Four powers. She could move objects with her mind, see the future, stop time and deflects things. Before Melinda was burned at the stake, she vowed that each generation of Warren witches would become stronger and stronger, culminating in the arrival of four sisters. Now, these sisters would be the most powerful witches the world has ever known. The youngest of the four sisters would be the most powerful as she will have her sisters powers and a few others of her own. They're good witches and I think we're those sisters."
Piper stood in by her car as she looked at Phoebe with her hands on her hip. "Look, I know what happened last night was weird and unexplainable." She tucked her hair behind her ears. "But we're not witches and we do not have special powers. Besides, Grams wasn't a witch and as far as we know, neither was Mom." Piper kisses Phoebe on the cheek. "So take that Nancy Drew." She then gets in her car.
"We're the protectors of the innocent." Phoebe said as Piper started her car. "We're known as the Charmed Ones." Piper then drives off.

"There's been a change of plan." Roger told Prue with a smirk.
"Change of plan regarding the Beals expedition?" Prue asked suspiciously. She is walking next to Roger through the newest exhibit.
Roger looks at Prue while he talks and while they walk through the new exhibit. "The extra money that you help raise through private donations has sparked significant corporate interest. The Beals artifacts will now become part of our permanent collection."
Prue shrugged her shoulders. "Well, that's terrific." She was waiting for Roger to get to the point about what this was really about.
Roger put the file on a desk closest to him before turning back to Prue. "Which is why the board wants someone a little more... qualified to handle the collection from now on." Prue looked away from Roger. "You look surprised."
Prue looked back to Roger. "I don't know why. I'm furious. Not only have I been on this project since it's inception but I'm the curator who secured the entire exhibition." She looked him with a look, suddenly realizing why he was the one telling her this and not the board. "You're the person a little more qualified aren't you?
Roger didn't try to hide it. "I could hardly say no to the board of directors, could I?" He asked with a grin. "But I know you'll be happy for me, after all, what's good for me is definitely good for you." He points his pen at her before putting it in his shirt pocket. "Right, Miss Halliwell?"
Prue looked at him when she heard him use her last name formally. "Miss Halliwell?" Prue asked as she glance at him with a look. "Since when did we stop being on a first name basis? When we stopped sleeping together or when I returned your engagement ring, Roger?"
"I didn't realize the two were mutually exclusive." Roger said with a smirk. He gave her a once over. "Although I certainly enjoyed one more than the other."
'Phoebe was right about him.' Prue thought. "Bastard!" She said as she glared at him for a minute before turning around and beginning to walk away.
"Prue, wait." Roger called as he walked after her. Prue stopped and turned around to face Roger. "I feel like I should say something if only to avoid a lawsuit."
Prue glared at him before turning around and walk away. She had unknowingly caused Roger's pen leak in his pocket. Blue ink leaks in his shirt, he then takes the pen out of his pocket and it squirts blue ink in his face.
-San Francisco High School-
Pandora walked into the high school after getting off of the school bus and her best-friend Elena came over to her. She was walking down the halls when she felt strong arms wrap around her, she turned around in the arms and saw her boyfriend, Jackson.
"Good morning, babe." Jackson said before he kissed Pandora on the lips. Pandora wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed him back.
Pandora then felt very weird and she was no longer in hallway, kissing Jackson.
{She was in a different hallway, in front of the girl's bathroom. She saw Jackson and Meg, a popular girl, they smiled at each other before started making out against the wall by the girl's bathroom.}
She fell back into reality when Jackson pulled away from the kiss and was looking at her with worry. "Are you okay, babe?"
"I'm fine." Pandora said as she smiled at Jackson to reassure him. "I'll see you later, I have to get to class."
"Alright, see you later." Jackson said, he gave her a quick kiss before Pandora walked away.
'What the hell just happened? What I just saw wasn't a memory, I know that. I would know if Jackson had cheated on me with that bitch Meg.' Pandora thought.
-Quake-
Piper is in the kitchen at Quake making her audition meal, she was stirring her sauce. She clapped her hands as she walked over to the measuring cup and the port. She then started pouring the port wine in the measuring cup.
"Your time is up." Chef Moore said in his French accent as he claps his hands. He picks the index card up before started reading it. "Roast pork with gratin of fennel and penne with a port giblet sauce."
"Chef Moore..." Piper trailed off as she looked at Chef Moore nervously.
"What?"
"Uh, the port." Piper said as she turned towards where the port is before turning back towards Chef Moore.
"Yes, without the sauce it is nothing more than a salty marinara. A recipe from a woman's magazine. Puh!" Chef Moore said in disgust at the woman part.
"I didn't have time for-" Piper had began to say but was cut off by Chef Moore.
"Ah-ah!" Chef Moore raised one of his hands, cutting Piper off.
"But, but..." Chef Moore puts some food on a fork and raises it to his mouth. Piper waves her hands around in panic and he stops. He stands there like a statue. "Chef Moore? Chef Moore?" She waves her hand in front of his face. "Hello? Hello?" She then quickly walks over to the port, picks up a baster and fills it up with some port. She then goes back to Chef Moore, who is still frozen, dribbles some on Chef Moore's forkful of food.
Chef Moore then unfreezes and puts the forkful of food in his mouth. "Mmm... this is very good. C'est magnifique."
Piper is a little freaked out at the impossible turn of events, could just nod her head nervously in response.
-Museum of Natural History-
Roger sitting in his chair in his office, facing the window, talking on the phone while tying a new tie. "It was my idea to spark corporate interest in private donations. Not only have I been with this project since its inception," Roger didn't noticed that Prue had walked into his office. "But we both know who really secured the entire exhibit." He swings around in his chair and see Prue. "Prue..."
"I quit." Prue told Roger as she looks at him.
"I'm going to have to call you back." Roger told the person on the other end of the phone before hanging up. He then stands up from his chair as he tightens his tie as he did. "Think about this, Prue."
Prue looked like she was thinking about before speaking. "Lousy job, lousy pay, lousy boss. What's to think about?"
"Your future. Because, believe me, if you walk out with no notice, you can kiss any references-"
Prue cuts Roger off at him attempting to threaten her about future jobs. "Don't threaten me, Roger." She glared at him.
Roger let out a little laugh as he looked at the still glaring Prue. "You know me. Had to try." He then tries a different way to keep her from quitting. "You're hurt, you're angry, your pride is wounded. I understand all that. That's why you can't see that I'm doing you a favour."
Prue looked at him as she asked. "Excuse me?"
Roger is now sitting on his desk in front of Prue as he begins to explain to her. "I had to take the exhibit away from you. If I hadn't, the board would have come and put a total stranger in my place. Think about it, Prue. I'm here for you. Not some stranger. You should be thanking me not leaving me."
Prue looks up to Roger with a smile. "Well, I'm not worried. I'm certain that your intellect will make quick work of the seventy-five computer discs and thousands of pages of research I left in my office."
Roger had a shock look on his face as he stood up. "You're gonna regret this."
"Oh, I don't think so. I thought breaking up with you was the best thing I'd ever done. But this definitely tops that. Goodbye, Roger." Prue said still smiling before turning away and begins to walk away.
Roger wanting to have the last word start to speak. "I hope there are no office supplies in your purse."
Prue already out in the hallway pauses just outside of Roger's office, her smile fading a little as she heard his comment. She acts like she is wrapping her hands around an imaginary neck for a second before walking away.
In Roger's office, his tie tightens around his neck and starts strangling him. He opens his draw and finds a pair of scissors. He cuts the tie off before falling off his chair and to the floor. "What the hell was that?"
-San Francisco High School-
Pandora is in the girl's bathroom washing her hands when Meg, the most popular girl in the school walked into the bathroom and over to her.
"What does Jackson see in you? I mean you're beautiful but you're not as popular as me and Jackson." Meg said in her snobby voice as she looked at Pandora.
Pandora was drying her hands and stiffened when Meg said that. She then threw the paper-towels away before turning around and glared at Meg. "Excuse me?"
Meg ignored Pandora's glare as she started talking again. "Why don't you break up with him, so he can be with someone that is just as popular as him." She then left the girl's bathroom.
Pandora was angry at what that bitch Meg just said to her. She noticed that her hands were getting hot and looked down to see that her hands were on fire. She freaked out for a few minutes before noticed that the fire wasn't burning her and soon calmed down. Once she calmed down, the fire faded away.
'What the hell is going on?' Pandora thought. She shook her head before leaving the girl's bathroom only to stop in shock, hurt and anger.
Because she saw her boyfriend making out with Meg. "What the hell Jackson?!" She yelled out in anger.
Jackson and Meg pulled away. Jackson looks guilty and Meg was smirking smugly at Pandora. "Pan, it's not what it looks like." Jackson said.
"Oh really." Pandora said sarcastically. "Because it looks like you cheating on me with this bitch. We're done, Jackson." She walks away from Jackson and Meg. Ignoring Jackson's calling out to her.
