"Well Cole, it goes like this. Some how, Piper and her future daughter Melinda switched bodies. Now, this isn't our average switching bodies, Melinda is in the future." Phoebe said.
"I kind of figured that Melinda was from the future." Cole interrupted.
"So, now we have a very smart sixteen-year old in a twenty-eight year old body. And we don't have the power of three. Piper's powers are with her in Mel's body, and Mel has her power, invisibility, with her in Piper's body. So to make the long story short, we're very vulnerable. Leo and Mel are trying to send a message over time. Oh yeah. Prue had to run into work today for a while. She told us not to do anything until she got back." Phoebe continued.
"But knowing you guys, you didn't hold still." Cole joked. Phoebe gave Cole a playful hit and, lead Cole into the attic where they found Leo and Melinda/Piper brainstorming ways to send a message over time without time travel.
"Did you guys think of anything?" Phoebe asked.
"Nope, do you have any ideas?" Leo asked.
"No," Phoebe sadly said.
"I do," Cole started.
"How?" Phoebe, Leo, and Melinda/Piper said at once. He had just been told what was going on, and already he had a plan.
"Well, what ever you write in the Book of Shadows should show up in the future book. So you write what you want to say in the book, and hopefully it should show up as you write in the next book."
"I hadn't thought about that." Leo said. "Good idea."
"I'll write it. They will want to know that I'm ok." Melinda/Piper said.
"What about us?" Phoebe pouted.
"You're in the future, they know you will survive, me, I know my mom will be worried sick. That is just the way things are with her." Melinda/Piper said.
"I was just joking."
"Oh."
"Here's a pen," Leo said, handing Melinda/Piper the pen. Phoebe went over to the book and found a blank page for Melinda/Piper.
"Thanks." Melinda/Piper said to both. She started to write. Phoebe watched over her shoulder.
Hello one and all,
"Wow, your handwriting is so different from Piper's." Phoebe commented.
"Well, duh. I hold the pen the way that I'm accustomed to, no the way Mom- sorry, Piper is. And I write the way I am used to." Melinda/Piper defended. "You guys may not want to read this, I may expose too much of the future. I can't do that."
"I get your drift. We will go downstairs. Oh and Mel, go ahead and call us by the names you are used to. Don't bother with what we call each other. It makes me fell awkward." Phoebe said as she left the attic. Melinda/Piper smiled and continued to write:
Hello one and all,
I'm really sure that you know what is going on. Some how past mom and I switched bodies. Aunt Phoebe, you probably already know that the power of three is broken here. We are really fearful of a demon attack! Well, we have a solution, but we can't fix it. Only you guys can. We need you guys to travel here and bring the book. There aren't any demons in this book that can do this. And I think I remember a demon that could near the end. Someone we recently added, thanks to Uncle Cole. I have to go. I love you guys. Please come. And bring the book!
Love,
Melinda (January 12, 2001)
Melinda/Piper closed the book and said a silent prayer that this would work. She went downstairs to rejoin her family.
