Paige and Prue walk towards Parker's room and peep through the crack of the door. Pray is sitting up in Parkers bed. Paige goes to open the door but Prue nods no.
Paige:(mouths)Why not?
Prue:(mouths)Her time Paige…(all of a sudden the book of shadows appears in front of them cutting the argument short. Prue quickly moves Paige back as the door opens slightly more and allows the book to come in. The door the close back to a jar and they see the book fly to Pray who catches it)um ok
Paige:(thinking)what is she doing?(Pray looks through the book. She gasps at one picture making Parker move a little but not enough to wake her. Pray glances at her but then back at the book. After 2minutes of flipping Pray stops turning the pages and looks up)
Park: Some shocking stuff(turns towards her and sits up)huh?(Pray looks at her)Man you flip pages loud(moans)at three clock in the morning.
Pray:(mumbles)sorry(Parks face softens and she wipes her face)
Park: penny for your thoughts ?(Pray looks away)
Pray: I don't ever think I can get use to this……
Park: of course you can….
Pray: no one minute I'm Pray normal girl now…..I'm Pray strange girl
Park: HEY!!
Pray: no offense….but I'm the new weirdo you've always been one
Park: and that's any better?!!
Pray:(mumbles)I guess not
Park: its fine, just don't do it again…..I'm guessing you saw Cole
Pray: that guy still creeps me out….how could aunt Phoebe(sighs)
Park: the same way your parents did(smiles)my mother never said I told you so(Pray gives her a look)I'll tell you about that when I'm fully awake. Carry on
Pray:(sighs)I mean I knew something was different about me…..about the world but(looks at the book and opens it)witches, demons(flips roughly)charms, and spells.
Park: Hey careful(takes the book)with the heirloom. It gets passed to one of us one day
Pray: How do we decide that?
Park: Easy who ever lives in the manor with their family keeps the book and battles all the demons who try to pursue it. I mean we come and help out of course(Pray looks at her like she's crazy)
Pray: and this is something to be excited about?!!
Park: Well yeah I mean come on….this is our history. This is who we are. Who could possibly say they can trace back to the Salem witch trails and a little before that(opens the book)to Melinda Warren(Pray just stares at her)(smiles)Beautiful ain't she?
Pray: What did she do?
Park: Grandma didn't tell you?
Pray: No time went by so….
Park: oh that's right two hours is two months. Well read it you might learn to love magic(hands her the book)but carefully please(Pray nods)Look Pray I know this is hard but you're not alone in this…..even if you might feel it. In our own way….us girls are going through something with magic
Pray: Like what?
Park: I got a problem with using it for everything(her light goes off and the side lamp comes on)see! One day I might expose magic and that's the last thing….well that will be bad. Paris is going through it with her father and mother. I mean one is good and one is evil she doesn't know which one to use. Melinda doesn't like using it because it ruins her life on a daily basis but she still tends to trip up the tramp girl(Pray laughs at this)at our school with magic. You know Mel drama(Pray nods)Drama and Pay; well she doesn't have an y problems yet I guess(makes a face and Pray laughs under her breathe) Our biggest problem though…is personal gain. We depend on it for so much stuff when our world turns for the worse. Well we use too at least we are better(smirks)a little
Pray: mm(quietly)maybe I shouldn't use it after all.
Park: But my point is you may never get use to magic but it chose you because it knows you are destined to do wonderful things with it.
Prue:(thinking)that's my girl
Park: From now on(pats Pray's arm and lays down)you and magic are one. There's no letting each other down or getting rid of each other. Trust will come soon enough(yarns)promise. Don't stay up to late…we practice around 9.
Pray: night Park(Park nods and Pray looks at Melinda Warren)hmm(touches the book, leans back and turns off the light. A book light appears on the book and she starts reading)
AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST
Prue:(whispers)come on(leads Paige back to the couch)
Paige:(whispers)I should go in there….explain stuff
Prue:(softly)not early this morning Paige…..let her take it in on her own. From the get go she hasn't had time to do it alone….with us trying to persuade her to be good, then going up with mom and then coming back here. She hasn't had enough time to herself.
Paige:(mumbles) I'm sure she had enough time with mom
Prue:(softly)time difference up there
Paige: no I mean mom would've respected her space.
Prue: exactly so…
Paige: (softly)Prue I'm her mother and I believe she shouldn't do this alone. I understand you were a mom before me but this is my daughter(Prue crosses her arms)and when I was going through this….I had you guys.
Prue:(softly)ok she has our girls who relate with her better
Paige: but I really wanted mom….and Glen and I should be teaching her or at least supporting her up close.
Prue:(softly)I can understand that but you don't honestly think I'm going to let you do this alone? Pray is my daughter too. I let you and Glen raise a normal girl for 13years alone but magic no way(puts her hand on Paige's shoulder)she shares at least one power from all of us(Andy comes out of the room)and when she needs help with that one power…I'm not backing down(Paige pulls away)
Andy: What's going on over here?(smiles but they turn to him with a slight glare)oh(slowly)k(stops smiling and backs up. Glen shimmers in and grabs Paige making her jump slightly. Glen is sweating a little and his eyes slightly glaze over but he gives Prue and Andy a smirk)
Paige: Glen(taps his arm that's around her waist)
Glen: you left and didn't tell me(shimmers out with her when his hands start to travel around her body. Prue rolls her eyes and looks at Andy)
Andy: Are you ok?
Prue: I'm going to be
Andy: How about a cuddle( sits down and Prue sits on him)
Prue:(smiles)What are you British all of a sudden?
Andy: I'm trying not to be but Melinda(Prue laughs)and those darn British sitcoms. Every day at two o-clock when I get home for my lunch break. That's all that's on the FLAT(Prue laughs harder)screen downstairs. What a waste of a flat.
Prue:(laughs)that's my niece….acts just like Phoebe when it comes to a show
Andy: good thing we had better things to do….when Phoebe got hooked to sitcoms(she gives him a look) while we got hooked to each other(softly)I remember a specific hickey(Prue elbows him)ow(silence)I sure hope the girls have something else better to do, other than what we did.
Prue: they do don't worry. They have magic…we had nothing but a tv(Andy nods)
Andy: True but I'm going to coming home every lunch break….when Parker gets a little friend. That's for sure.
Prue: you are going to ruin their lives(smiles)
Andy: yeah-yeah….I'm making sure they don't make another life.
Prue: oh Andy…they're not us
Andy: (softly)yep(changing the subject)Good thing Glen is going to open up the old bar downstairs soon. Get this damn British out of my vocabulary(Prue laughs)Hey what's with the bell?(Prue looks at the door)
Prue: Phoebe's stupid idea
Andy: that's the silent Christmas bell(Prue makes it fly to her)doesn't even jingle
Prue:(sighs)Phoebe!!(Andy looks at the cup)
Andy: this our's
Prue: it's warm but yep….drink up have we a long night(snuggles with him)
Andy: oh wonderful
AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST
Later that day Paige and her sisters, nieces and daughters are downstairs in the basement, which has been changed into a training area. The girls are sitting on the stairs while Paige and her sisters stand in front of Pray. Pray is wearing long pants and her hair in a bun. She stands tall but she looks nervous. Paige has her arms crossed, Prue is leaning against the wall. Piper is holding the book and Phoebe smiles at Pray.
Paige: Prayla(walks towards her)welcome to your first day of training.
Prue: our purpose here today and for the rest of the summer is to make sure you have some type of control of your powers
Piper: and some type of self control when you develop new powers.
Phoebe: What we mean by this….you might develop your powers during school hours or when a demon might decide to bother you at school…we just want you to be prepared
Paige: for a new power, demon or
Par: emotion(smirks)you might also develop a new one when you get upset at someone right Melinda?(Paris laughs a little. Ducks a pencil that gets thrown at her)hey!!(Melinda smirks at her)
Piper: Cut it out(Looks at them)
Mel: What? I didn't use magic to throw it at her (Mel sticks her tongue out at Park)
Par: worse than toddlers
Mel: oh shut it
Prue: girls this is Pray's day….cut it out or go upstairs
Pay: I don't have to go. I have been good(looks at Paige)right mommy?
Paige: right(clears her voice)ok-ok (calls)hat(it orbs in her hand)ok here in this hat are names…
Pray: wouldn't have guessed that
Prue: Prayla!!
Phoebe: ok what are the names for then smartie?
Pray: haven't gotten that far
Piper: then keep your mouth shut and listen….you don't want to miss anything. This is important
Pray:(quietly)sorry(looks back at Paige)
Paige: the next time you interrupt Pray like you did…the lesson will(pauses)be doubled understand?(Pray nods but hardly)good(comes towards her)let's try again. This hat has names in it, the names are going to tell you who your teacher for the week is going to be. Your teacher is going to teach you the lesson or lessons for two weeks or less if you improve. By the time you go to school you should be able to handle your powers and your trainings will turn to a twice a week thing. Any questions?
Pray: Will it start off easy?
Paige: It's based on the teacher(Pray looks at her aunts who smile)
Pray: Great!!
Park: Don't get aunt Phoebe first…she's tough(Pray and her aunts look at the girls who nod)
Phoebe: and here I thought Prue(Prue nods nope)
Prue: sorry sis
Pay: no I'm the baby and your even hard on me(Phoebe laughs a little)
Paige: WHAT!! Piper was hard on me more
Piper: you where hard-headed on me
Paige:(laughs)no
Pray: Can I please pick my person?(they all their attention to her)I wasn't being smart. I just want to get started. I want to be able to choose who is tougher(Phoebe smiles bigger)
Paige: Yes sorry(sticks the hat out)you might even get two at the same time so…
Pray: I'm ready(sticks her hand in. Everyone holds there breathe))ok(pulls it out and looks)Melinda and Prue combination orb ball/telekinesis.
Mel: oh yeah(runs down and high fives Prue)We got first dibs
Park: man!!
Piper: What is that combination(looks at Phoebe who whistles )doing in the hat?
Pray: What? What's wrong with it?(Paige goes to answers)
Prue: nothing(shutting Paige up)this is going to be fun….working with two of my favorite nieces
Paige: Well ok(backs up)lets go upstairs
Pray: what?
Paige: We don't watch you practice until you have some type of control
Phoebe: because if we do we might try to pick up your slack when or if you mess up and you need to learn on your own.
Piper: so we're going to go shopping
Mel: What?!!
Park: oh yeah(the girls go upstairs)
Par: Have fun Pray you'll do great
Pay: love you
Pray/Mel: love you(Pray looks at Paige)
Paige: you'll do fine….if you need me call me ok?
Pray: ok(Paige kisses her forehead. Phoebe rushes over and pulls her in a big hug)ow
Phoebe: good luck
Prue:(baby voice)Phoebe don't break her(Phoebe lets go)I haven't gotten to her yet(Pray moans and Phoebe laughs)
Piper: come on sisters(hugs her family)we'll do the movies later
Mel: coolie
Prue: Leo on call
Piper: yep(kisses Pay)alrighty be back around 4
Prue: ok now leave(Paige, Phoebe and Piper go e sip the stairs. Paige looks back before disappearing and closing the door behind them)ok(looks at the watch)its 12 we have 4hours to practice. 3:30 we'll stop for lunch(Melinda nods and looks at Pray who has nervous written on her face.)
Mel: Don't worry Pray(Prue looks at Pray)you got this(Pray sighs)we won't rush into anything you're not ready for.
Prue: yes(holds Pray)we will teach you conjuring of orbs and telekinesis separate. And you have two weeks to learn it….you only need half of that time.
Pray: you think I will get it that easy?
Prue: of course you will
Mel: You're a Halliwell…..we always get it(Prue nods and pulls Mel in the hug and kisses their heads)
Pray: even the pencil trick(Mel gives her a look)what?

Leo and Andy are on the golf course with Jason. Jason goes to put the ball as the birds fly across. He goes to hit the ball when the sun comes from behind the clouds shinning an abnormal light which blinds them. They moan and quickly cover their eyes. Jason puts on his sun glasses.
Jason: What the hell?(orbs appear in front of them)
Andy: oh great
Jason: I'm guessing it's not the kids
Leo: It's not(it turns into elders)they know better
Elder: Leo
Andy: Ah ha(takes the club)the mission is for you(smiles)tell me if you need help Leo
Elder: Actually it's for the both of you….your family is truly in danger
AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST: AT LAST
At the mall the girls are walking in front of their parents while arguing. Pay is in the middle of Parker and Paris trying to break them up while they walk and argue. Piper looks at her sisters who either roll their eyes or shake their heads.
Piper: like water and oil you and Prue's kid
Phoebe: yeah I wonder where they get it from(Piper laughs and looks at Paige who doesn't say anything)
Piper: Paige(she looks at them)she'll be fine(they stop once the girls go into Holocaust)
Phoebe: She's in good hands(pulls out her cell phone)
Piper: What are you doing?
Phoebe: are you kidding me? This is(to the phone)Paris(mumbles)favorite store(it dials and she puts it to her ear)she'll spend her whole college fund on this(Paige laughs a little and Piper continues with her speech)store if she could.
Piper: yeah Prue and Melinda are great teachers
Phoebe: totally agree(to the phone)Paris nothing more the 150 is your budget today….alright bye
Paige: one fifty?!!(Phoebe hangs up the phone and looks at her)
Phoebe: what it's for the week….
Paige: a week?
Piper: believe me your niece is
Phoebe: nieces
Piper: aren't cheap skates….don't worry Pray and Pay will find it
Paige:(laughs)not weekly
Piper: oh now Paige stop changing the subject
Paige: I still feel like I should be there for her(whispers)or at least she should be taught spells and potions first. The easy stuff you know?(they step to the side by the rails and watch people walk past)Not combinations Phoebe.
Phoebe: What….I-I-I thought that(looks at Piper)
Piper: Paige…are you kidding me your daughter is…way past spells and potions
Phoebe: yeah she's a lethal weapon
Paige: even lethal weapons start off small
Piper: We understand……
Paige: I'm still worried small or not(Leo walks up to them)
Piper: Hi baby(gives him a kiss)what are you doing here?
Leo:(smile)ha
Phoebe: oh no what's wrong?
Leo: Well I have good and bad news
Piper: it's not Melinda or the boys?
Phoebe: or Jason(he nods no)Do we need Prue?
Leo: No not yet…but Paige this is for you(Paige looks at him)good or bad first
Paige: bad!!
Leo: Grams is missing!!
Sisters: What?!!(he jumps)
Phoebe: and the good
Leo: She isn't after Pray anymore
Paige: how do you know?
Leo: she left a note after she knocked out the guards
Phoebe: jeez
Piper: I knew they should've did a sturdier spell for her(sighs)
Paige: then who?
Leo: that's the other bad news….Where is Glen?(Paige doesn't waste time pulling out her cell phone)
Phoebe: I'm going to get the girls(runs in the store)
Piper: how long has she been missing?
Leo: The day before Pray came back that's why she was sent back(Paige looks at Leo)
Piper: and they are just now telling us?
Leo: look if she wanted her….believe me she would've gotten Pray while she was up there.
Piper: Why didn't mom tell us(sighs)
Paige: He's not answering…I'll meet you back at the manor
Piper: Where are you…
Paige: I'm going to look for my husband(Piper nods)
Piper: be alert(Paige rushes for a bathroom)
Leo: I'll see you back home(Phoebe and the girls come out)be careful
Piper: Grams won't hurt us
Leo: I mean emotionally Piper
Piper: ok I will(Leo gives her a kiss and heads towards the restroom)
Piper: let's get home(they rush out)someone call the manor…warn Prue
