"So what you are telling us is that we are witches. And not just that, we are some kind of super witches, who are supposed to go out and protect innocents from warlocks and demons, does that about cover it?" Prue asked.
"Yes, I'm surprised at how quickly you have come to terms with this" Leo told her.
"Oh I never said a word about believing this" Prue replied flatly.
"What's not to believe, you saw all that too!" Phoebe exclaimed, still bubbling with excitement.
"I admit, it was strange, and somewhat unexplainable. And it's not like I don't see how Leo's explanation covers everything and make a certain kind of sense, although sense may not be the right word. But I really do not have any interest in accepting any of this. From what I can read of this situation it sounds highly dangerous, and without any actual benefit to us. You just want us to risk our lives fighting monsters. But this is all something that we will have to keep a secret. Do you realize that we don't have the time for this! As of right now, we have no guardian, no income and no way of surviving ourselves. We don't have the luxury of worrying about saving other people, right now we have to worry about saving ourselves" Prue told them all.
The other three girls all looked suitably rebuked and quieted down, looking sad.
"Well, I admit that this is a new situation for me, but I am sure the elders will have a solution. I know they plan to have someone stand in as your guardian. And as for income I know that your grandmother provided for you, I'm certain that this will all work out" Leo said optimistically.
"We'll see." Prue replied.
"But about being the charmed ones?" Leo asked.
Prue sighed, cradling her head in her hands. After a long silence, she finally said "Well I doubt we have much choice in this, something tells me that what's done is done and now that we have these powers we won't be able to get rid of them. And it's far more dignified to accept this gracefully than be dragged into it kicking and screaming. Besides, my sisters seem very enthusiastic about the idea."
"Well, I'm not sure about enthusiastic. But if it was something that mom wanted us to do, then I want to try doing it." Piper told them.
"I think it sounds like fun, we get to have cool powers and save people!" Phoebe gushed.
"Me too!" Paige chipped in.
"Well there we go, the votes already in, so…look out world, here come the charmed ones." Prue said with a grin.
