Piper, Phoebe, and Paige left Prue's room and went back up to the attic to talk.
"How are we going to help her get back? Why are we going to help her go back?" Piper asked.
"I think I see what Paige is talking about." Phoebe said. "If she goes back, and resolves whatever it is that's keeping her tied to that place, then when she comes back, she'll be okay."
"Exactly." Paige said. "Do you think we can do that? I mean, write a spell that'll send her back, but only for a small amount of time?"
"We should be able to." replied Piper.
Phoebe nodded. "I'll go work on it."

"Okay, I have it." Phoebe said excitedly.
Piper took the paper, looked it over, and nodded in approval. "Okay. Paige, can you get Prue?"
Paige turned and headed downstairs.
"Prue?" she called, knocking lightly on her sister's door. Without waiting for an answer, she went in. "Honey, it's time. We're going to send you back to Cael."
Prue looked up, smiling. "I'm going back?"
Paige nodded. "Yes, but only for an hour. That will give you enough time to resolve whatever you need to, and then when you get back here, everything will be okay."
"Okay." Prue repeated. She didn't seem to hear the part about her stay on Cael being short. All she knew was that she was going home.
Paige brought her back to the attic, where Piper and Phoebe were waiting. They were standing outside a circle of eight white candles.
"There's a candle here for each year she was gone." Piper explained to Paige. "We're hoping that this will enforce the one-hour part, and keep her from staying there another year."
Paige nodded. "Okay. Let's do it."
Prue sat in the center of the circle, and closed her eyes. She didn't like the magic here. The magic here was scary. She just listened as her sisters began the spell.
"Prue's been gone for eight long years,
Now she's here without a memory,
To fix this mess, for just one hour,
Take her back to where she wants to be."
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige watched with tears in their eyes as Prue disappeared in a flash of light.
"How are we going to help her get back? Why are we going to help her go back?" Piper asked.
