"No! You can't just pull her out of there! Look at how happy she is." Penny yelled at Sandra, who was an Elder.

Sandra had a sad look on her face. "Penny, I'm sorry... part of the Elders want to keep her there, but others don't. I'm sorry, but our side got over ruled. Prue has to come back."

"I won't allow it... I made that spell so that she could finally be with her sisters, and so that Priscilla and Pandora would be able to have a real family." Penny said. "Don't you want that for them? No child was ever meant to be born in the heavens."

"Which is why we created the rule, but of course, Prue and Andy broke it." Sandra said, but noticing the look on Penny's face, calmed down. "I've been trying to find a way around this, I really have... but Prue was not supposed to even go down there. We blessed her with that new power for emergencies. We would allow Prue to go down there if the Charmed Ones needed her assistance, but she can't stay down there."

Penny sighed in disappointment. "What about Andy and the girls?"

"We made an agreement that the girls can stay, but we're not sure about Andy. I mean, he died seven years ago... someone might notice." Sandra explained.

Penny's face lit up. "I can cast a spell to alter people's memories. Anyone who knew about Andy's death would think he was alive all this time! Except for the Charmed Ones, their family and Darryl, of course."

"I don't know, Penny." Sandra said. "It seems pretty risky. Even if you could, what would we do about Prue? She would be all alone up here."

An Elder walked into the room, his face serious. "Penny, Sandra, I'm sorry... but it's time to bring Prue back up here."

"No, Ramos... she doesn't deserve to be torn away from her family! Not again..." Penny's voice trailed off.

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing that me or Sandra can do." Ramos said calmly.

Penny heard the familiar sound of herself being summoned. "I have to go... I'm being summoned."


The familiar sight of golden orbs formed in the center of the burning candles as Penny's ghostly form appeared. "Hello, dears."

"Grams, what's going on? You said the spell would keep Prue down here with us." Piper complained.

Penny sighed. "I'm so sorry, dears... I didn't think that the Elders would hate the idea."

"What about Andy, Priscilla and Pandora?" Paige asked. "Will they go back up there with Prue, too?"

Penny shook her head. "No... Andy and the girls will be staying on Earth. The Elders only want Prue to come back up."

"No Grams, they can't do this to her. If she goes back up there, do you know how lonely she'll be without her family? You can't just take that away from her." Phoebe said.

"Phoebe, I'm sorry." Penny apologized. "But this was not mine or your mother's choice to make. I can create a spell for Andy so no one will be suspicious, but I can't do anything about Prue."

Piper sighed, knowing that they couldn't do anything more about the situation. "How long does she have until she has to go back up?"

"I'm not sure, but probably-" Penny was cut off by Prue's screams.

Everyone looked over to see Prue clutching her chest, blue orbs swirling around her. More and more appeared, and Prue was forcefully pulled up into the heavens.

"No, Prue! Don't leave us!" Piper screamed, running to the spot where Prue was standing.

She fell to the ground and started sobbing, while Leo sat down next to her and held her close, letting her sob on his shoulder. Phoebe and Paige just watched, tears running down their cheeks as well. Andy, Coop and Henry just stood there in shock of what just happened when the children came running in.

Priscilla turned to Andy. "Dad, why is everyone crying? Did something happen?"

Andy also had tears welling up in his eyes, knowing that it would be hard to explain to his two daughters that they'd never get to see their mother again. "Sweetie, the Elders aren't allowing your mom to come back down here."

"What?!" Pandora shrieked.

She ran over to Andy and started crying on his shoulder, as well as Priscilla. Penny sighed as she watched everyone break down. "I'm sorry, but I have to go back."

All Piper did was nod, and Penny disappeared. Phoebe ran over to Coop's waiting arms and snuggled close to him, as Paige and Piper did the same with their husbands.

"Dad... will we ever see Mom again?" Priscilla asked, sniffling.

"I don't know." Andy said. "I don't know."

"We have to do something." Paige stepped out of Henry's embrace with a determined look on her face. "We can't just let them take her away from us!"

Phoebe just looked at the ground. "Paige, what can we do? We don't have power over them... they can do anything they want."

Piper looked at them. "Then we'll just have to find a way to make them bring her back."


Half an hour later, everyone was in the attic, searching for a way to bring Prue back.

Piper slammed the book shut. "I can't believe that there's nothing in here about how to bring Prue back!"

"You know, with all of the good that we've done for the past seven years, you would think that the Elders would give us something in return." Paige said.

Leo heard the familiar sound of jingling in his head. "I'm being summoned, they say it's really important."

"It's probably about Prue's situation." Coop said.

Leo nodded and orbed out, while Piper walked over to where Paige and Phoebe were standing. "What are we going to do? We lost her once, and we can't lose her again."


Leo orbed up into the white heavens to find himself standing in front of Penny, Patty, and three Elders, along with Prue. "What's going on?"

"Leo, we need you to inform the Charmed Ones to not interfere with this particular situation." Troy said.

Leo shook his head angrily. "And you think that they'll listen to you? You're one of the Elders who didn't even want Prue to come down to Earth in the first. Grams, Patty, you have to do something about this."

"I'm sorry, Leo. We've tried everything we could, but they will not allow Prue to go back down." Patty said.

"I can't believe this." Leo said while looking at Prue, who was staring at the ground. "Piper, Paige and Phoebe have risked their lives everyday just to save innocents! They never chose their paths in life, but they had to because it was their destinies, and they embraced them. You should have been happy that they were using magic at all. Prue risked her life everyday, and that got her killed! Don't you think that you at least owe them a family?!"

Sandra nodded. "We're trying Leo, but nobody will allow it. The rest of the Elders are saying that it will mess up the laws of nature."

Leo sighed. "What will happen?"

"I'll be punished." Prue said quietly. "You guys won't be able to help me. Just... tell everyone that... that I love them."

Troy grabbed Prue's arm and orbed away with her. Leo had tears welling up in his eyes, and orbed back down to Earth.


Everyone looked up to see Leo orb in.

Piper frowned when she saw the look on Leo's face. "They won't bring her back... will they."

Leo shook his head in denial. "The Elders are punishing her. I tried to convince them not to, but they won't budge. The Elders are saying that it would mess up the laws of nature to bring her down there. She says... she says that she loves all of you."

"No... this can't be happening!" Piper said, feeling a lump in her throat and tears once again falling down her face. "She doesn't deserve to be punished, it wasn't her fault!" She fell to the ground, sobbing. "She doesn't deserve this! This isn't fair to her."

Andy watched helplessly as his whole family was being torn apart, while Paige was watching the scene, wiping her eyes. "We'll get her back, you guys... we have to."

Henry nodded. "We're not going to give up on her. She means to much to just be taken away."

He walked over to Paige and embraced her in a comforting hug.


Prue was in a room with Elders surrounding her in every direction.

"Prudence Halliwell will be punished for going down to Earth when not allowed to." Troy said.

Prue cowered in the presence of all of the Elders around her. She picked at her cudicals nervously. "What are you going to do to me?"

"We're going to take away the memory of your family." Another Elder explained. "You'll only remember your death, your mother and grandmother."

Prue's eyes widened. "That's not fair!"

Sandra walked up to Prue and held a sparkling ball in her hand. "I'm so sorry, Prudence."

She plunged the ball straight into Prue's chest, causing her to scream. Prue's eyes glowed green, then changed back to their original color. After a couple seconds, Sandra magically revealed a picture of Piper, Phoebe and Paige. "Prudence, do you recognize these girls?"

Prue shook her head. "No... should I? Are they my cousins or something, because they look alot like me. I know they're definitely not my siblings... I'm an only child."

"No... let's take you to see your mother and your Grams." Sandra said.
