To put it quite simply, Billie was confused, not just a little, but a lot. She had no idea on how she could help the sisters and what way that she could be any assistance now that all hope seemed to be lost. Though she continued to follow Piper like she had been asked too, hoping that whatever her plan was, she was going to use all her power to put things back to normal, more or less.
Piper stopped in the middle of the hallway and Billie followed the suit. "Okay, Billie. This is what I need you to do. I need you to project yourself to Juno and vanquish him." She calmly told her. Billie stared back at her, mouth slightly hanging open, with only one thought going through her head. "What?"
"I know, I know, it might be difficult for you because the demon is very powerful, but you are as well! And he won't expect an attack from you. He will expect it from us. Meaning the Power of Three." But what Billie didn't understand is why the other sisters had to be left out of this information, and for what purpose did Piper gain from this?
"Okay then, that makes some sense. But why does this have to be a secret? Why can't Phoebe and Paige know about this?" She asked quietly, it was not like she was scared about going up against the demon, she had been dodging fireballs all day for the sisters and this was the least of her problems but what she wanted to know was why did they have to be left in the dark.
"Well, because they wouldn't want you to go, not after seeing your sister and everything….But I think that you can do this, okay? In fact I know that you can do this, you have learnt so much from us and from yourself and giving this chance to you proves that-that we really do care….okay? Okay, good let's go back up and act natural." Piper waited to see that Billie understood clearly and turned back on her heels and began to make her way back towards the attic. She stopped all of the sudden, making Billie jumped out of her skin and also stopped. "What???" She whispered to Piper.
"When we go to where Juno is hiding, you follow us shortly afterwards."
"Right" she replied back, with a smile on her face though remained serious. "Wait Piper. I just wanted to know. Why are you letting me vanquish him?"
"Because, he used your sister"
And with that Piper walked back up to the attic, leaving Billie by herself and she knew exactly what she had meant.
Phoebe and Paige were working away in the attic waiting for Billie and Piper to arrive back up stairs. They were both interested to know what they were talking about and why it could not be shared to the two of them.
"I'm sure Piper has her reasons for wanting to keep something from us." Phoebe stated to her little sister as she stirred the potion, that was beginning to turned a sickly green colour.
"That's really reassuring Pheebs, thanks" Paige remarked back to her, looking up at her with a smile of her face.
"Well, what can I can, it has definitely not been the best of days today."
"Tell me about it…" Paige muttered quietly to herself.
"I mean, you think that everything after the ultimate battle would have calmed down. No demons or warlocks, nothing. Zilch. But what do we get? Perhaps another eight years worth of-of crap all over again!" Phoebe laughed to her sister, and noticed that she was also laughing. And it was rather funny, but they knew deep down that everything would probably happen all over again. Hopefully not as bad as the last eight/five years, they both through together. Paige was sat at the table drumming her fingers against the hard cold wood, trying to think of a spell that would come in use to them, but so far she could not think of anything that would work. Her mind was a complete blank.
"Well, whatever Piper is doing down there with Billie, she better get back up here soon or-" She began to say.
"-Or we are dead. Dead, dead, dead!" Phoebe finished off for her.
"Thanks for that" Paige sarcastically told her.
"No probs sis." Phoebe laughed.
They worked in silence, they didn't want to make any mistakes. They did not want to have a new destiny, with more fighting. Both of them could not be able to handle losing the rest of their lives once again to magic.
"Hey, we're back" Piper said as she walked back into the room. She sat down next to Paige and began scrying for Juno, not explaining what had happened with Billie and herself.
Phoebe and Paige both looked up at her and Billie who had also walked back into the attic and sat down on the sofa, quiet and not saying an utter word. "So?" Paige began to say.
"So, what?" Piper asked, acting like she did not know what Paige meant.
"What she means by so, Piper. Is what were you and Billie talking about down there? Eh?" Phoebe asked intensively, not concentrating on the potion that was beginning to bubble over.
"Oh nothing interesting. I was just telling Billie that she couldn't come. She isn't ready for this you know. And I didn't want her complaining to interrupt you guys working. How's that spell coming along?" She asked Paige directly, watching her scribble down a few simple spells.
"Oh, yeah it's nearly done…" Paige drew her attention back to her spell and continued writing. Though Phoebe was not satisfied with Piper's answer, but she left as it was, since her potion was now burning parts of the table off.
"Right! I have him!" Piper exclaimed standing up from the table and grabbing the map at the same time. "Get the spell and potions ready and we'll go" She walked over to Billie and whispered something in her ear. This made both Phoebe and Paige look at them both suspiciously but they had a job to do and couldn't be distracted
"But I want to go!" Billie moaned, trying not to laugh at the same time. Piper ignored this, she knew that she was playing along, but she couldn't help but also find it funny.
"Okay, the potions are ready" Phoebe told everyone. She had filled three bottoms up and placed the bottle corks firmly in.
"The spell is done, and I have written a copy out for everyone so the spell is more effected when we kill this guys ass." Paige said as she walked over to Piper and Paige and handed them each a copy of the spell. Billie watched as all three of the sisters gathered everything, discussed the plans of action and how they will deal things. Paige then held onto her sisters hands and orbed herself and her sisters and headed off to a cave that resided in the underworld.
"Will be back" Piper said as she winked at her.
Billie had to move, she couldn't waste anytime or the other sisters would come back and know that something was up and she wouldn't have a chance to do what she needed to be done. Juno knew all the moves of the Charmed Ones, but not of Billie's. This mean that she would be able to use this to her advantage and make sure that she sent the scum to the end of the world. She walked over to where Phoebe had been making her potion and filled the rest of the potion in her own bottles and placed another three corks firmly in the bottle. She didn't need the spell that Paige had wrote, she knew that her power would be strong enough to get rid of Juno and return the Genie back safely.
Like earlier on this morning, when she went back in time, she placed herself in the middle of the attic and began to concentrate on what she wanted most in the world, to find the demon, Juno, to destroy him once and for all. She let her mind go completely blank, like nothing else existed in the world. Then, all of a sudden she felt like she was being swept any, hurled to another far away place. Her body was being transported to the one place that she desired the most. She opened her eyes carefully and looked at her surroundings. She was in a cave, the cave that she had been in before, she knew where the demon and the Genie would be. She knew too well.
She stood up carefully, holding onto the potions in her hands and walked quietly along the cave till she could spot any sign of movement.
"Hahaha, I think this time will be the last time ANY of us will be seeing the Charmed Ones I'm afraid to say." The voice was coming from a small opening in the middle of the cave. She moved slowly towards the opening, being careful not to be seen by anyone.
"You really think that they are going to let me rot in here? With YOU!?" Genie barked at Juno.
"Oh no, I don't think that at all. They will come at some point. They will have to, they'll have no choice, that is their reason for being, to save all that need saving." Juno pointed out. "And then I will destroy them once and for all."
"And how are you going to do that?!" Genie spat at him.
"Why I thought you would know? I intend to use you to kill the Charmed Ones, and how easy it will be" Juno smiled at him.
"I'll never EVER do that!" The Genie cried.
"You will have no choice" he sneered at him.
"I think he does actually" Billie stood up from the rock that she was hiding behind, smiling at the sight of Juno's confused face.
"You!? But-but you are supposed to be dead!" Juno screamed at her.
"Sorry to disappoint you" She threw all three potions at the demon and watched as his whole body began to shiver in black and green smoke. "This is for my sister!" She placed her fingers against her head and closed her eyes and began to imagine the power of the potion growing in power, so powerful that Juno would not be able to come back ever again.
"ARGGGGH!!!" His screams filled the entire cave and she watched as every part of his body began to appear in flames, burning his skin and bones. And with a slightly big explosion, the green and black smoke disappeared, along with Juno.
"Wow, right on time as well" The Genie causally said to her.
"Well…" Billie said flicking her hair in a flirtatious manner, "I have a way with my demons."
An two hours had passed after Juno had been vanquished. All three sisters, Billie, Leo and the Genie were sat around the dining room table discussing the days events and how maybe still being the kick ass witches was not a completely bad thing.
"I'm just glad that everything is back to normal…" Paige sighed, with her head on her hand which was resting on the table.
"Normal? What's normal in this family" Phoebe laughed aloud, smiling at the Genie, who smiled back at her.
"Well, a girl can wish for a normal day, there's nothing wrong with that" Paige replied back.
"Not unless you are the kick ass witches known as the Charmed Ones" Piper piped up, they all laughed because it was true. They would always remain the Charmed Ones whether they liked it or not.
"So what happened to Dan then?" Phoebe asked curiously.
"Well once Billie got the Genie back, she came to Magic School and put the Genie back in the bottle and then wished for every to be back to normal and that Dan had no memory of today what-so-ever" Leo explained to her, everyone could tell that he was glad about this, since he still did not forget about Dan taking Piper away from him.
"And then I, once we found out what Piper and Billie were up too-" Paige began.
"-Sorry about that-" Piper interrupted while laughing.
"-Orbed Dan back to his house, safe and sound AND without no knowledge of what had happened to him" She continued smiling.
"Well that's good because now we have one more thing to sort out…" Phoebe said to everyone moving her eyes over to the Genie that was sat opposite her.
"Oh yes!" Piper said, "Billie would you do the honours?" She asked as her eyes moved over to her. Billie stood up and moved over to the Genie and looked at him in the eyes and said, "Genie, I wish you free." The Genie smiled back at her, and replied back the happiest he had ever been, "Your wish. My command."
A day had past since the events of the Genie. And everything was sort-of back to normal for the sisters. But they knew that this was not the end for them, and more dangerous paths laid ahead for the Charmed Ones and they all knew that together they would be able to stop anything that they faced.
