…. Last Chapter: Piper asked out of pure curiosity, "Where's Leo?" The younger Piper looked up angrily.
"Why would Leo be here the dn elders took him away for another charge." Prue looked up at her not really older self and wondered why Piper looked older. The thoughts that she came up with scared her, but she pushed them away. The present Prue went to Paige and Phoebe where they helped Paige onto the couch. Phoebe walked off leaving Prue to help Paige. Prue went to get up and look in the book, but Paige grabbed her wrist gently hoping to keep Prue there.
She stayed by Paige's side understanding how insecure she must have felt. Phoebe -still unaffected by seeing her past self -spoke, "So what year is it? I really hope I don't have to see Cole." Piper gave her look that basically screamed "Future consciences." Phoebe responded with a dramatic sigh.
The younger Phoebe smiled confusedly ,"Who? Oh well, the year is 1999. What are you doing here and who is the sick girl?" Phoebe always was the most curious before they met Paige. She looked over to Prue and sighed. Paige really was sick from not having any alcohol. She would probably go into withdrawal soon and they couldn't do anything about. She went to Paige and Prue. She stroked Paige's head. Paige seemed like she was giving up which none of the sisters could allow. Yet this did just meant all the more motivation to vanquish this demon.
Prue nodded telling Phoebe to answer truthfully , but still they both weren't sure whether or not to reveal Paige's identity. Phoebe began "We came here to vanquish a demon that was too strong in our time. We come from nine years in the future. Nothing can stop this demon, he killed the strongest good force and took away our power as well. We are all that is left of this family and we are here to fix it. You hear me Paige we're going to fix all of it; all of the death?" Paige chuckled at this. She still was obviously drunk.
Prue gave Paige a condemned look warning her about her mocking attitude, Paige said defensively, "What? You expect the Halliwell family, my last name is Mathews- Mitchell and I can't even escape it. My child couldn't even escape it. Piper your boys, Victor, Coop, Sam, and Leo couldn't escape. Please tell me how you are going to explain how we don't have the power of three. Really I mean you have Prue here. Why would you need me?" All of the past people looked up instantly enthralled wondering what the girl meant. Prue being the leader of the past wanted to take charge, but saw how future Piper and Prue shot each other looks and decided to leave it until later.
The past Piper looked around and noticed how tense the air was, so she asked Paige, "Are you alright? Is there anything I can get you for you to feel better." Everyone went to their own thing Prue still staying at Paige's side offering comfort. Paige began to laugh wryly.
Everyone looked at her so she offered up an explanation staring straight at her Piper, "Wow, Piper, never knew you cared, " she turned to the nicer more pacifist Piper, "and yeah I would love a drink, vodka would be great." everyone ignored her plea after Piper's heartbreaking frown.
Past Prue spoke up taking charge, "How can we help you; I mean really you must stronger, so why come here? Why did you bring an innocent with you?" The future girls exchanged uncertain looks none really sure what to say.
Paige surprisingly broke the awkward silence , "Well, if no one will get me a drink I guess I'll just have to take matters into my own hands or powers in this case. Vodka!!" Paige yelled then in orbs a bottle of vodka appeared and Paige giggled happily content. She, however, frowned when Prue immediately took it away. She appeared angry at Paige's display of personal gain. The past girls were in shock at this supposedly white-lighter's interest in vodka. At least now they didn't have to answer about an innocent being with them. Paige complained, "Oh, come on, Prue. You know it's in my blood to turn to a drink when I lose all hope. You do realize you might as well give it to me, it's not like we'll live much longer. Give it here!" Prue passed it to Phoebe as Paige lunged for her beloved drink. Piper stayed out of it afraid of making Paige angrier.
Before Paige could get overwhelmed by her desire Leo appeared in orbs which caused Paige to jump off the couch . Everyone tried to catch her completely caught off guard by her sudden movement. Still all she did was completely break down in Leo's confused embrace. He looked around nervously at the doubles and their past. His brain spun at possibilities of the situation. He didn't know who this girl was that he was holding. She seemed hysterical and she had gone to him. Why is what he couldn't figure out. She finally muttered through the her sobs, "I watched you die."
Prue pulled Paige into her arms to save the stunned Leo. Future Piper took over as she now was technically the lead charmed one. Piper sympathetically said to everyone, "The future is rough, ah, Prue would you take Paige upstairs, since she lets you touch her. Phoebe and I will fill Leo and I guess us in ok?" Prue nodded and led Paige upstairs to currently Prue's room. Once the door shut to Prue's door Piper noticed how the past one looked worried. Piper spoke to reassure her , "Don't worry Paige is certainly not evil, maybe a little lost right now. Prue took her up there because she lived with us in the future and that was her room. She just needs to process everything. She just watched our entire family die while we were in the past trying to save her. We still are. If.. When we vanquish this demon she will never be kidnapped and none of our family will be killed." Everyone looked shocked at how severe the situation really was
