The story was supposed to happen in between seasons of charmed, but i didn't realize the times wouldn't fit until now.

Anyway on with the story.

-
Days went by, they became months and the Sisters had dealth with many things in the meantime; Piper's pregnancy was going on well, her unborn baby made her invincible, Phoebe was growing tired of Cole, and Paige struggled to become a better witch and finally had the chance to met her real father

Wanting to give Phoebe some peace of mind, Paige came with a plan to vanquish Cole. She practiced her plan with Leo and he tried to talk her out of it but Paige, feeling the need to act independient from her sisters, went after Cole anyway, who was on the verge to became an Avatar.

The youngest sister, however, failed her attempt, Cole regenerated after what Paige thought was a succesful vanquish and knocked her out of the balcony, sending her to the river.

The next morning, while helping Piper with exercises for her pregnancy, the sisters saw how Paige orbed while sneezing and found out she went after Cole alone.

Cole on her hand, had become an Avatar, but before joining the collective, he asked one thing, he planned to change the past, make it as if the Charmed Ones were never rebuilt thinking that he and Pheobe would be as they were before.

Colle summoned Tempus, the change began. As the wave of change traveled through the city, the Halliwell sisters were at P3, Piper was ushering Paige to the office, there the youngest sneezed orbing out.

Paige orbed back to a destroyed P3. Looking for help she called Leo, but to her surprise he didn't know her.

"Look, I don't know who you are, lady, and I don't have time for games. All hell is breaking loose out there, so if you don't mind..." Leo said after she claimed to be his sister in law.
"Have you lost your mind? Do you notice anything different?" she tried to knock sense on him.
Leo looked around, "no, not really. So if you'll excuse me," he started to orb out but Paige stopped him.
"Wait, I'm your charge too. How else could you have heard my call?"
Leo realised she's right and decided to hear her. She convinced him to take her with Piper.

"What are we doing here?" Paige asked looking around at to where Leo orbed them to.
"Shh, Piper's hunting," Leo whispered.

They watched how Piper tortured a Lazarus demon trying to find out Shax whereabouts. Getting no information she blew him up.

"Wait!" Paige called Piper who was about to leave.
"Piper, don't!" Leo warned Piper who was ready to use her powers on Paige.
"Oh my god, you're not pregnant anymore," Paige noticed.
"Who are you? Leo, what are you doing here?" Said Piper with some impatience.
"It's me, your sister, Paige."
"Look, if this is some lame attempt from the Elders to try and lure me back, you can forget it. Tell them to shove it because I have no loyalties to them anymore, and I don't have any to you," Piper said looking angrily at Leo.
"Hey! That's no way to speak to your husband," Paige exclamed.
"We're divorced. Have been for a while," Leo said quietly to Paige.
"Okay, what bizarre world have I sneezed my way into?" Paige tried to understand, "you two are married and you're expecting, a magical child no less. And you, you're not La Femme Nikita. You're a Charmed One. You don't mind kicking ass when you have to, but otherwise, you'd rather be hanging out with your sisters, baking cookies or knitting booties."
"Knitting booties? Clearly you don't know me at all," Piper snorted.
"Oh, yeah? Well, how come I know you didn't really vanquish the Lazarus demon?" Paige asked.
"What are you talking about?"
"As a breed, they resurrect. The only way to keep their remains down is to bury them in a cemetery," Paige said, and Piper turned to leave, "please, stay," Paige asked.

The pile of dust on the ground resurrected into the Lazarus Demon.
"Piper!" Leo alerted her. She dusted the demon again.
"How did you know that was gonna happen?" asked Leo.
"Because we've fought him before in the real world!"
"What do you mean we?" Piper wondered.
"We. Me, you, Phoebe. Your sisters... Oh, god, this is getting me no where... Just orb me to Phoebe."
"I can't go to the manor anymore, it's forbidden," Leo stated.
"What? Fine, I'll do it myself. But when I fix this, you owe me," with that Paige stormed off.

Late at night, Paige made her way into the manor, it wasn't hard in spite of it being full with demons, none of them knew who she was. She saw Phoebe enter the kitchen and followed.

"Phoebe," Paige called, Phoebe placed her cigarette down and coughed, "you don't recognise me. That's okay, Piper didn't either," at the mention of her sister Phoebe's demeanor changed.
"Piper? You know Piper? How is she?" she asked the stranger.
"She's, uh, different. Look, I don't have a lot of time so I'm just gonna drop this on you. I am your long lost sister Paige. I know, it sounds crazy but it's true. We're all sisters in the real world."
"Guards!" Phoebe yelled.
"Look, I don't know how he did it, but Cole somehow switched realities in his twisted attempt to get you back. I somehow slipped through the cracks and landed here, I don't know how either. But I need your help in order to turn things back to the way they're supposed to be," Paige said as Darryl walks in.
"You called?" he said with no expression in his fearures.
"Darryl, hi," Paige said glad to see him.
"Get rid of her," Phoebe ordered.

Darryl walked over to Paige and grabed her arm.

"No, what are you doing?" She resisted.
"What bodyguards do," Phoebe said coldly.
Paige hit Darryl with a frying pan, knocked him out, Phoebe pointed a knife at her.
"Phoebe, I know you better than you know yourself right now, in your heart of hearts, you know you are not meant to be with Cole. In this other life you are free of him and you're happy," Paige tried to reason with her sister.

Daryl woke up and pointed his gun at Paige, she ran outside as Darryl fired. Outside of the manor, Paige called for Leo, Darryl followed close behind.
Leo orbed them out just in time before Darryl fired.

"Thanks, that was cutting it a little close, don't you think?" Paige asked once they orbed to safety.
"You're lucky I came at all."
"I'm lucky? You're lucky. Without me, we're all screwed. I'm the only one who can fix this thing."
"Oh, yeah?"
"Oh, god, it's just so weird. Cole living at the manor, all those demons we vanquished wandering around alive. Wait a second, if the demons are alive then that means all the innocents we saved are... dead."
"Not just the innocents, Paige."
"What are you talking about? What are we doing here?" she asked looking around, they were in a cemetery which looked creepier at night.
Leo pointed to a grave marker, Paige looked down, it was engraved - Paige Matthews - Born 1975 Died 2001.
"After you left, I went and checked with the Elders. They confirmed your story that there was in fact another sister. Only they didn't know until it was too late, until after the Source had already had you killed," Leo said at the shocked charmed one, "it explains why none of us knew you. We never got a chance to meet you."
"So, what, you believe me now?"
"I'm not sure what I believe. The fact is you're here and you're not supposed to be."
"Okay, so we've established the fact that I am here, how come I don't have my powers?"
"Because you're not living your life anymore. You're living hers," he points at the grave, "you must have taken over our Paige's life in this reality, or at least, the life she would have lived had she not been killed. Since she never met her sisters... you end up here in Sunnydale... like this."
"The Power of Three never got back together and I never got my powers. Lucky me."
"Luckier than you think maybe. If you hadn't sneezed when you did and orbed into the neutral plane, nobody would've ever known."
"Cole would've. He's the one behind this. He altered reality to eliminate me and get Phoebe back. But it's not working. She hates him as much in this reality as she does in ours. The problem is she's trapped here."
"Your reality sounds a lot better than this one. Not just for Phoebe. So, uh, how can I help you get it back?"
"I need..." Paige was cut by the sound of fighting, "what was that?" she asked as she walked to look behind some bushes, she saw a man and a woman fighting, she saw the man's demonic face and by instinct she rushed forward to help, but abruptly stopped as she got a better look at the woman, it was Buffy, and her shock grew as she watched Buffy taking out a stake and plung it in the demon's chest, turning it to dust.

Paige's mind was rushing, she tried to clear her thoughts, she wondered how herself being dead in this reality changed the fact that Buffy was alive, and the other way around back in her own reality. And above all, she was amazed as why was her friend killing demons.

She knew she had to fix whatever Cole did, but she wanted to see her best friend one last time, even if it was in a different reality.

"You said I ended up in Sunnydale?" she asked Leo, he nodded, "maybe I moved here instead of San Francisco," she said to herself.
"Come on Paige, we have to reverse this," Leo rushed.
"I know, but there's something I need to do here first, but please, get Piper, try to make her believe this is a twisted reality, I need my sisters... and ingredients for a potion."

Leo orbed Paige to where she asked, it was a neighborhood in Sunnydale, then he orbed out after Paige told him which items were needed for the vanquishing potion.

Paige walked to the familiar house in Revello street, she knocked and was relieved to see Dawn opening. However, Dawn seemed shocked.
"Dawnie, I know this might sound crazy, but I'm me, the real me," she said knowing that if reality was going to change anyway it wouldn't matter expose magic with Dawn and Buffy.
"But... I saw that demon kill you," Dawn said still unsure of who was standing there.
"Demon?... you know what happened?" this time Paige was the surprised one, about Dawn knowing about demons.
"Buffy tried to track it, she wanted to slay it in revenge, but we never found it," Dawn said still staring at Paige.
"Slay? ... not that I don't appreciate it, but why would she risk herself going after a demon?"
"Who are you?" Dawn asked suspecting the woman in front of her wasn't her friend.
"It's really me, but from a different reality, you can trust me," Paige risked to reveal the whole truth in order to find out more and assure it was really her.
Dawn looked carefully at her, she didn't feel bad vibes coming from her, and a look at Paige's eyes told her she was saying the truth. Without a word, the teen moved aside of the door to let her in.
"I need to talk to Buffy, where is she?" Paige asked once she was in the living room.
At this, Dawn's expression changed, "She died," she said sadly, "three months ago."
"But... I just saw her, at the cemetery vanquishing a demon!"
"Vanquishing?"
"She staked a demon and it went poof."
"Must had been a vampire."

Then the front door opened, Buffy walked in, Paige just stared in awe and then looked back at Dawn asking for an explanation.
Dawn sighed, "that's the Buffybot." At Paige's blank expression she continued, "Spike... you know who Spike is?" she asked first.
"Buffy told me he was a Billy Idol wanna be who arrased her."
"Sums it up... Anyway, he made Warren, a geek guy, to built a Buffy robot for him to... have fun."
The Buffybot walked to them and in a very cheery mood she greeted; Paige was lost, she didn't know what to think.
"Did I know... about any of this?... This is so different than the reality I come from." Paige asked.
Dawn nodded, "you became part of the Scooby gang no longer after you moved in here, you with Xander, Willow, Anya and Tara often used to go patrol with Buffy."
"Patrol for what, and what gang?"
"Demons, vampires, the usual..."

Paige wanted to stay there longer and find out more but she knew she had to help her sisters, Phoebe was in danger being with Cole, she had to go back to her own reality and made things right.

She said goodbye to Dawn and when she was out the house she called for Leo, both orbed back to San Francisco, to the destroyed P3.

There, Piper was waiting, and assured Paige that she believed her, figuring that if she was right about the Lazarus Demon, she might had been right about everything else.
Paige mixed the ingredients together to make the potion, Leo and Piper had orbed before to the manor to get some of Cole's flesh.
"I'm impressed, you really know this stuff," Piper said as she watched Paige.
"Of course I do, I learn from the best. I learn from you."

At the manor, the three got in, they didn't see anybody. Suddenly Phoebe rushed down the stairs.
"What are you guys doing here? You have to leave now." She warned.
"Where's Cole?" Piper asked.
Cole walked in, "right here," he threw an energy ball across the room, hitting Piper, Paige and Leo, they fell to the floor
"No!" Phoebe ran to their side. Cole flicked his fingers and the potion flied across the room and into his hand. "What did you do to them?" Phoebe asked.
"Exactly what they were gonna do to me," Cole replied.

Paige reached to hold Piper's hand.
"She's still alive, grab her hand," she said to Phoebe.
"I don't know how you got here, Paige. But if it's any consolation, I know exactly where I'm gonna bury you. Right next to yourself," Cole threatened.
"Grab her hand," Paige repeated.

Phoebe touched Piper's hand and a light shined down on them, Cole threw an energy ball at them but it bounced off the light, the light vanished and Phoebe and Paige stood up.
"The Power of Three," Phoebe says.
"That's us. Potion!" Paige said as she felt her powers came back, "I do hate long goodbyes," she was about to throw the potion but Phoebe stopped her.
"She's not gonna throw it. Are you?" Cole said looking at Phoebe, "we've been through so much together, haven't we? Our love's so strong, nothing can destroy it, not even this. We're meant to be together."
"I don't think so," Phoebe threw the potion, the room started spining as Cole exploded.

"Oh, please, god, tell me I'm back," Paige talked to herself looking at the empty manor.
"Oh, there you are. Where'd you orb to?" Piper asked as she walked in holding a tub of ice cream.
"Piper. Are you pregnant?"
"Yeah. Where you been? What happened to your clothes?"

Paige hugged Piper, "time must have continued moving on in this reality too. I'm back!"
"I beg your pardon?"
Phoebe walked in through the front door.
"Hey, what's going on?" Phoebe asked, happy to see Paige was back.
"Phoebe!" Paige greeted her hugging her as well.
"Hi. Oh, oh, okay. What's the celebration?" Phoebe asked.
"I'm just so happy to be home, that's all."

Paige told them what happened, how Cole altered reality and how Phoebe vanquished him, and about Buffy killing demons and the robot replacing her.
The three of them went to Cole's appartment, it was empty, no sign of him. Seeing he was gone for real, they headed to the elevator, leaving that place to never go back again.

Once Paige was in her bed later, only one thought was in her mind, she would go to Sunnydale and find out the truth.
