Author's Note: I forgot to mention in the first chapter that the hellmouth will be in San Francisco. That will give some leeway of adding some of the BTVS story to this. Which also means Xander, Willow, Giles as well as quite a few of the other BTVS characters will be seen in this story. In fact the next chapter in this story is Welcome to the Hellmouth, the BTVS series premiere.

Atlas - Dawn will eventually appear but don't expect her for quite a while. Were in season 1 of BTVS and season 1 of Charmed. Dawn didn't show up till season 5 of BTVS so it will be awhile before she's added to the story.

Chapter 2: I've Got You Under My Skin

At Quake. Buffy and Phoebe's walking through the crowd.

Phoebe bumps into somebody, "Oops, sorry." She and Buffy walk over to Piper.

Piper shakes her head, "I'm gonna kill him."

Buffy nods, "Who?"

Piper sighs, "Chef Moore. He, of the phony accent, hires me and then quits to open his new place. Thank you very much."

Phoebe nods, "I don't see any customers complaining."

Piper sighs, "Hello, I am not a restaurateur. I'm a chef. I have no idea what I am doing. Are you wearing my dress?"

Britney comes up to them.

Phoebe smiles, "Hey, Britney. Ooh, I love that tattoo."

Britney nods, "Thanks."

Phoebe nods, "I thought it was illegal to get them on your hand because of the veins."

Britney smiles, "In the States, yeah. I got it done in Tahiti." She hands Piper some money. "Keep the change, Piper. I gotta jam."

Piper nods, "Okay, say hi to Max."

Britney smiles, "Bye."

Piper looks at a waitress, "Table nine please." Phoebe sees a guy and has a premonition. "Now, back to my dress."

Buffy sighs, "Yes I'm wearing your dress, Piper. It looks good on me, don't ya think?"

Phoebe smiles, "Okay, see that poster boy to your left?" Piper looks at him. "Just glance, don't be obvious."

Piper sighs, "I approve, who is he?"

Phoebe nods, "His name is Alec and he's about to come over and ask if he could buy me a martini."

Buffy blinks, "How do you know?"

Phoebe smiles, "Let's just say I solved the age old problem of who approaches who. I had a little premonition."

Piper frowns, "What? Phoebe, you are not supposed to use your powers, we agreed."

Phoebe frowns, "No, you and Prue agreed. I abstained. Besides, it's not like I can control it, it just popped into my head."

Buffy nods, "Yeah you two agreed, we didn't."

Piper sighs, "That's the whole point. None of us can control our powers. That's what scares me. I could panic and freeze the entire restaurant."

Buffy rolls her eyes, "At least you got yours. Mine still hasn't shown up."

Phoebe shakes her head, "Shh, here he comes."

Alec walks over to Phoebe. "I was just sitting over there wondering if I could buy you a martini or something."

Phoebe smiles, "Martini, hmm, imagine that. I would love one. It's Alec, right?"

Alec nods, "Yeah, how'd you know my name?"

Phoebe smiles, "Wild guess. Do you wanna grab a table?"

Alec nods, "Yeah."

Piper frowns, "Prue is gonna be pissed."

Phoebe sighs, "News flash. Stop worrying, you'll get wrinkles."

Buffy nods in agreement.

The next morning in the kitchen. Piper's watching TV and whisking some eggs. Prue and Buffy comes in.

Prue smiles, "Morning."

Buffy nods, "Hey."

Piper nods, "Morning you two."

Prue nods, "What are you watching?"

Piper sighs, "Nothing." She turns off the TV. "Just a show."

Prue shakes her head, "About witches? Are you worried we're gonna be burnt at the stake?"

Piper nods, "Yeah, right. By the way, Andy called."

Prue nods, "When?"

Piper sighs, "While you were in the shower. Bad date?"

Prue shakes her head, "No. No, no. Not at all. It was great. You know, dinner, movie, sex."

Buffy laughs, "Way to go, Prue."

Piper smiles, "Excuse me? On your first date? You sleaze."

Prue glares at Buffy, "It wasn't exactly our first date, Piper."

Piper shakes her head, "High school doesn't count. That was last decade. Spill it." Prue walks in the living room, Piper and Buffy follow. "Ooh, that bad, huh?"

Prue shakes her head, "No, actually that good. It was... well, we were naked. But that's not the point. I told myself that things would be different. That we would take it slow. It just shouldn't have happened, that's all."

Phoebe comes down the stairs. "What shouldn't have happened?"

Buffy smiles, "Prue slept with Andy."

Phoebe smiles, "Hello."

Prue sighs, "Thanks a lot, mouth."

Phoebe nods, "Wait, you were gonna tell them but not me? Family meeting."

Prue sighs, "Speaking of last night. What time did you end up rolling in?"

Phoebe shakes her head, "No, no, no. Do not change the subject."

Prue nods, "Don't dodge the question."

Piper nods, "It must have been at least after three."

They walk in to the conservatory. Prue sits down.

Phoebe nods, "I must be still be in New York time."

Buffy rolls her eyes.

Prue nods, "Actually, that would make it later."

Buffy smiles, "Or maybe you and Alec."

Prue blinks, "Who's Alec?"

Piper nods, "Some hottie she hit on in the restaurant."

Phoebe shakes her head, "Excuse me, where vision is history, he hit on me. Remember, the whole vision thing."

Prue frowns, "Vision thing? Please tell me you didn't use your powers."

Phoebe doesn't say anything. Prue looks at Piper.

Piper shakes her head, "Don't put me in the middle."

Prue sighs, "I'm not. You were born in the middle, Piper. Look, I thought that we agreed." She looks at Buffy.

Buffy sighs, "I don't want to be in the middle any more than Piper. And you agreed I didn't."

Phoebe shakes her head, "No, we didn't." She indicates herself and Buffy." You agreed. You laid down the law. There's a difference."

Prue nods, "Phoebe… Buffy, our powers aren't toys. We have to be careful or they can get us killed."

Buffy rolls her eyes, "I'm the Slayer remember, Prue. My life is full of danger with the possibility of an early death before I turn eighteen."

Piper sighs, "Prue's right. We don't want any warlocks finding us. Nor do we want you to die at the hands of a vampire, Buffy."

Phoebe sighs, "Look, it was just a lousy premonition, that's all. Nobody died. Besides, you guys can't control your powers any better than I can. And F.Y.I. nothing happened last night. At least nothing I'm ashamed of."

Prue nods, "There's another reason we have to be careful. Andy thinks someone's abducting women in our area."

Phoebe frowns, "Abducting women? What do you mean?"

Prue nods, "I mean warlocks and vampires aren't the only evil we have to watch out for. And F.Y.I. I'm not ashamed of anything."

Short time later outside a church. Piper and Buffy are sitting in Piper's car. Someone knocks on the window.

Piper gets a fright. "Pastor Williams, you scared me."

Pastor Williams smiles, "I'm sorry. Aren't you a little early? Dropping off the unused food from the restaurant. I thought you weren't coming by until this afternoon. And who do you have with you?"

Buffy smiles, "Buffy Halliwell, I'm Piper's cousin on her mom's side."

Piper nods, "I am. I mean, I'm coming back with everything. And Buffy is living with us now since her mom passed away."

Pastor Williams nods, "Great. So what are you doing here now?" He looks to Buffy, "My condolences."

Piper shakes her head, "Nothing really. Just, uh, just thinking."

Buffy smiles, "Thank you."

Pastor Williams nods, "About?"

Piper smiles, "Mary Estee."

Pastor Williams frowns, "Who?"

Piper sighs, "It's just a stupid documentary I saw. By the way, is it true that evil beings can't go into a church without being..." She makes a noise and moved her hands to show they were hit by lightning. They laugh.

Pastor Williams nods, "Evil beings? You mean, like what? Vampires?"

Buffy rolls her eyes.

Piper shakes her head, "Vampires, no. I was thinking more on the lines of witches."

Pastor Williams nods, "Witches, huh? Let me out it to you this way. I sure wouldn't wanna risk it. I gotta go. I'll see you later?"

Piper smiles, "Yeah, right, absolutely." He leaves. Piper and Buffy gets out of Piper's car and walks over to the door. Just as Piper's about to grab the handle, there's a crack of thunder and she runs away.

Buffy rolls her eyes and opens the door and steps inside and back out to show Piper it's alright before going back to the car. "Seriously Piper."

Piper nods, "Shall we swing by the school and see about getting you enrolled? Then you can start on Monday."

Buffy nods, "Sounds like a plan."

At Quake, Phoebe hands a menu to a guy. There's a woman sitting next to him. "Here you go."

Stefan nods, "Thank you."

Phoebe smiles, "Excuse me, but aren't you Stefan?"

Stefan nods, "Yes. I'm sorry, do we know each other?"

Phoebe smiles, "Oh, highly doubtful. I'm just familiar with your work. Like everyone else in the world."

Stefan nods, "Well, I don't know about that. Well, I'll take a compliment from a gorgeous woman."

Phoebe nods, "I'm sure your girlfriend must appreciate that."

Stefan whispers, "She's not my girlfriend."

Phoebe whispers, "Then why are you whispering?"

The woman frowns, "Excuse me." She leaves.

Phoebe nods, "Ooh, ooh, okay. Well, it was really nice meeting you."

Stefan nods, "You too. Listen, listen. I'm in town for a couple of days doing a Porsche shoot. If you're interested, stop by. I would love to photograph you. You do model don't you?"

Phoebe nods, "In my dreams, yeah."

Stefan writes down the address and gives it to her. She smiles and walks away.

Piper and Buffy comes up to her. "A driver just called in sick. Can you do a quick delivery? Buffy will go with you and help you out."

Phoebe nods, "Sure. Is that guy at the bar staring at me?"

Piper frowns, "There are a lot of guys at the bar staring at you."

Phoebe sighs, "The one at the far end. Tall, dark, brooding, very New York."

Buffy looks, "Sorry, no."

Phoebe looks over and Stefan is gone.

At the Church. Phoebe, Buffy and Piper get out of the Quake van.

Phoebe nods, "You would think after last night, Prue would be a lot mellower. I mean, how long had it been? Six months? Which is worse."

Piper nods, "It's just so un-Prue like to have sex on the first date. I mean, everything's changing since we've become... you know."

They start getting the stuff out of the back of the van.

Phoebe nods, "Come on, you've never had sex on the first date?"

Buffy rolls her eyes.

Piper shakes her head, "No, have you? Don't answer that." She looks at Buffy, "Please tell me you haven't at all."

Buffy sighs, "No I haven't."

Piper smiles, "Good because you're not till you're like eighteen."

Phoebe nods, "Well, it's not a regular thing. Of course now that I'm a witch I can see if it's gonna be any good or not before it actually..." She notices an elderly man standing next to her. She hands him a tray. "Hi." He walks away.

Piper frowns, "What's the matter with you? Are you outta your mind?"

Phoebe nods, "Come on, it's not like he took me literally."

Piper shakes her head, "You don't know that, he could of. I just think we need to be extra careful. In bed and out."

Buffy sighs, "That's all I ever try to be is careful."

Pheobe nods, "Okay, well there's careful and then there's paranoid. Do you wanna talk about it?"

Piper shakes her head, "Talk about what?"

Pastor Williams comes up to them. "Hey, Phoebe, I didn't know you were back in town." He looks to Buffy, "Nice to see you again, Buffy."

Phoebe smiles, "Hey." She and Pastor Williams hug.

Buffy smiles, "And you as well."

Pastor Williams nods, "Say goodbye to the Big Apple did you?"

Phoebe shakes her head, "Oh, I ate the worm. Hey, I'm gonna go get some gum. Do you guys want anything?"

Pastor Williams shakes his head, "No thanks."

Piper shakes her head.

Buffy smiles, "I'm good, Phoebe."

Phoebe nods, "Okay, good to see you."

Pastor Williams nods, "You too."

Phoebe walks away.

Piper smiles, "Okay, here's the deal. I got this friend. Has a little problem. Could be bad. Not quite sure what to tell her."

Buffy rolls her eyes.

Pastor Williams nods, "You wanna go inside?"

Piper shakes her head, "No. I mean, we've gotta get going."

Pastor Williams nods, "So what's the problem?"

Piper sighs, "Well, she kinda, sort of thinks she might be a witch."

Pastor Williams nods, "Witches again, huh?"

Buffy nods, "Yeah."

Piper frowns, "Not a good thing is it?"

Pastor Williams shakes his head, "Certainly not a question I get every day. How well do you remember Sunday school lessons? I suggest 22:18. Thou shall not suffer a witch to live."

Piper nods, "Meaning..."

Pastor Williams nods, "If you go by the old school, it means put her to death. She's evil."

Buffy shakes her head, "Great."

They walk back to the car and get in.

Phoebe gets in a moment later with a smile on her face. "Ready? Let's go."

Piper frowns, "What are you smiling about?"

Buffy nods, "Yeah you seem awfully chipper."

Phoebe smiles, "Nothing."

A short time later inside Quake. Prue walks up to Piper and Buffy.

Piper nods, "Cindy, come on, your salmon's up. Hector, way behind. We need clean plates."

Prue sighs, "Either of you didn't give Andy my cell phone number by any chance did you?"

Buffy shakes her head, "No."

Piper shakes her head, "No, why?"

Prue sighs, "Never mind."

Piper nods, "Remind me I wanted to do this for a living, right?"

Prue sighs, "Looks like you're not the only one of us who's going to be doing anything for a living. Look how bad my interview went."

Piper smiles, "I can't imagine you were less than stellar."

Prue notices Phoebe sitting at a table with Stefan. "What's Phoebe doing here? For that matter what are you doing here Buffy?"

Buffy smiles, "I was helping out Piper with a delivery." Prue frowns. "Hey it's not like I got anything else to do till school starts on Monday."

Piper nods, "Flirting."

Prue sighs, "Yeah, and she's wearing Armani. Where did she get that?"

Piper shrugs, "Not from my closet. I gotta go."

Buffy shrugs, "I know I could never afford anything like that. Though can we say allowance? Like I'm not getting any right now and would like to."

Piper walks away.

Prue looks at Buffy, "We'll discuss that at home." She walks up to Phoebe, Buffy following behind.

Phoebe smiles, "Prue… Buffy, hi. This is my other sister. Prue. And you've already met our cousin, Buffy. This is Stefan the photographer."

Stefan smiles, "Pleasure."

Prue nods, "Likewise." They shake hands. "Nice dress."

Phoebe smiles, "Don't worry, it's not yours."

Prue nods, "I know. I could never afford it."

Phoebe nods, "Will you excuse me for one minute? I'll be right back."

Phoebe, Buffy and Prue walk away.

Stefan looks at his hand and it's turning really old.

Prue, Buffy and Phoebe walk in to the kitchen.

Prue frowns, "How are you gonna pay for that? You're broke."

Buffy nods, "That is what I was wondering. Even when mom was alive she couldn't afford anything like that."

Phoebe smiles, "Not for long."

Prue frowns, "What does that mean? You didn't use your powers again?"

Buffy rolls her eyes.

Phoebe nods, "Maybe. Are you telling me you haven't?"

Prue shakes her head, "No, I'm not telling you that but we're not talking about me are we?"

Piper comes up to them. "What are you guys doing in here?"

Phoebe sighs, "Same thing we do at home."

Prue frowns, "What, did you go to the tracks, play the market, what?"

Buffy shakes her head, "I bet it was the lottery."

Phoebe looks at Buffy and smiles, "It was the lottery."

Piper frowns, "Phoebe!"

Phoebe nods, "What did you want me to do? Ignore the premonition? Not help a needy family. That's what we're supposed to do, right?"

Prue shakes her head, "No, we are not supposed to use our powers for our own personal gain. That's what it says in the Book of Shadows."

Piper frowns, "Not so loud."

Phoebe sighs, "You said we needed money, right? We'll I'm getting some."

Piper shakes her head, "Come on, you guys."

Prue nods, "Well, get a job like everybody else."

Buffy sighs, "I bet I see where the allowance talk is going to go."

Phoebe shakes her head, "I'm using my mind instead."

Andy enters the kitchen. "Prue?" He bumps into a guy holding plates.

Piper frowns, "Watch it!" Piper freezes everyone and the plates before they hit the ground. "Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, not again."

Prue nods, "Now look what you've done."

Phoebe frowns, "This is my fault?"

Piper frowns, "You guys aren't freezing?"

Buffy shakes her head, "I guess it doesn't work on witches. Piper, how long does it last?"

Prue looks outside the kitchen and sees that no one is frozen.

Piper shrugs, "I don't know, not long."

Prue frowns, "Uh, it doesn't work out there either."

Piper shakes her head, "Oh, tell me this isn't happening."

Phoebe nods, "Calm down, it's okay. It's all gonna be okay."

Buffy nods, "Yeah just calm down."

Prue looks outside again and notices Morris walking towards the kitchen. "Oh, God, Andy's partner just came in and he's headed this way."

Piper frowns, "What are we gonna do?"

Phoebe nods, "Stall him."

Prue runs out of the kitchen. "Hey, Inspector Morris, right?"

Morris nods, "That's right. Is Trudeau in there?"

Prue shrugs, "Uh, Andy? I don't know is he?"

Back in the kitchen. Phoebe and Buffy are fanning Piper with a menu.

Phoebe smiles, "Okay, breathe, Piper, breathe."

Just as Morris opens the door, everyone unfreezes and the plates fall on the floor and break.

Andy nods, "I really think we should..." He notices Morris there. "…talk. What are you doing here? I thought I had five minutes."

Morris nods, "Yeah, I gave you ten."

Piper smiles, "Guys, you know, we're really busy in here."

Buffy nods, "Yeah maybe should take this elsewhere?"

Andy nods, "Yeah, sure."

Prue smiles, "Uh, I'll call you later, I promise."

Andy nods, "Okay."

Phoebe waves, "Bye."

They leave.

Piper sighs, "I hate being a witch."

Buffy smiles, "I don't its fun. Well except for the occasional warlock."

Later in the attic at the Manor Piper's looking in the Book of Shadows. Phoebe and Buffy walks in.

Phoebe smiles, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Piper sighs, "Reading. Thinking."

Buffy nods, "About what?"

Piper shrugs, "About how totally screwed we are now that we're witches."

Phoebe nods, "Oh, that."

Piper nods, "You don't understand, you don't think we are. You're never afraid of anything. I envy that about you, I always have."

Phoebe nods, "Yeah, well, don't because it gets me in trouble sometimes. Piper, talk to us."

Buffy smiles, "Yeah."

Piper sighs, "I don't know, it's like our whole lives have been like everybody else. Rushing off to work, going out on bad dates, buying shoes and suddenly we wake up one day and everything is different. We're witches now. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

Buffy smiles, "Now you know how I felt last year when I was called as the Slayer."

Phoebe smiles, "Are you kidding? It's a great thing."

Piper sighs, "You don't know that. We don't know anything about these powers. Why we have them, what they mean, where they come from. I mean, how do we know it's not... how do we know it's not from evil?"

Phoebe nods, "Piper, we've been through this. We're good witches."

Piper nods, "What about Jeremy? What about all the other warlocks he said would be coming after us. And all the vampires that will be coming for Buffy. How do we know we're not just like them? That is what scares me. We don't know. I just wanna be normal again. As messed up as that was. Is that too much to ask for?"

Phoebe nods, "Piper, listen to me. You are the sweetest, most caring person I've ever met." Buffy nods in agreement. "No, I mean that, you are. You're always there to help anybody, even strangers."

Buffy smiles, "Phoebe is right there. A week ago I was a total stranger to you. You, Prue and Phoebe took me in. You didn't have to but you did."

Phoebe nods, "You've been doing it your whole life. So there's no way you've been given this, this gift if it wasn't to do good things with it. To protect the innocent just like the Book of Shadows said. Besides, if anyone is concerned of being bad, it's me, right?" Piper laughs. "You've got nothing to be afraid of. I am going to get my picture taken." She does a little pose. Piper laughs. "Hey Buffy would you like to tag along. Maybe we can talk Stefan into taking yours also?"

Buffy nods, "Sure, why not."

At Stefan's photography place Phoebe and Buffy arrives in the van. They get out, Phoebe's holding a dress.

Phoebe looks at Buffy, "Are you sure you want to have your picture taken in that?"

Buffy smiles, "Yeah."

Phoebe walks over and knocks on the door. "Stefan, it's me, Phoebe." She touches the door handle and has a premonition of herself and Buffy tied to two tables and Javna's there. His eyes start glowing. The premonition ends.

Phoebe looks at Buffy, "We're getting out of here."

They run back to the van and they get in. Someone grabs Phoebe from the backseat. Just as Buffy turns to face Phoebe's attacker she feels someone grab her from the backseat.

When they wake up they find they are inside Stefan's photography place. Phoebe and Buffy are tied to a table.

Phoebe frowns, "Wait, Stefan or whoever you are, let us go."

Buffy struggles against her bonds.

Javna smiles, "It's Javna." His eyes glow and Phoebe and Buffy screams.

Outside Prue and Piper pull up in the car. They run up to the van.

Prue nods, "Do you see anything?"

Piper shakes her head, "No. Prue..."

Prue nods, "Look, we'll find them."

Piper nods, "Maybe we should call the police."

Prue shakes her head, "No, if Javna has them then we're the only ones who can stop him."

Piper nods, "But we need Phoebe to do it. The incantation only works with the three of us."

They hear Phoebe scream. A moment later they hear Buffy screaming, "Leave her alone."

Inside a bright light comes out of Javna's eyes into Phoebe's. Piper and Prue come in. Prue uses her power and throws Javna across the room. The bright light then goes into Prue's eyes.

Piper unties Phoebe and then Buffy. "Phoebe, we don't have a lot of time, okay?"

Phoebe nods, "Prue, grab the mirror."

Prue grabs a mirror and puts it in front of her face and reflects the light back into Javna's eyes.

Prue gets the spell and they start chanting. "Now."

Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Buffy chant, "Evil eyes look unto thee, may they soon extinguished be, bend they will to the power of three, eye of earth, evil and accursed."

They repeat it. Javna turns into a skeleton and then into dust and disappears.

Phoebe smiles, "Very cool."

They go outside and the police are there.

Andy frowns, "Prue? What are you doing here?"

Prue smiles, "Well, we were just trying to get the van started."

Piper nods, "Yeah, Phoebe and Buffy called. They were having car troubles."

Phoebe nods, "Stefan was gonna take some pictures of me and Buffy."

Andy nods, "Do you have any idea how lucky you two are? This guy's a stalker."

Morris nods, "No sign of him inside. His car's here so he might still be around."

Andy nods, "Excuse me." He reaches in the van and starts it.

Buffy smiles, "Hey, how about that. You fixed it."

Andy nods, "How about that."

Phoebe nods, "Maybe we should go."

Phoebe and Piper walk away.

Prue smiles, "Uh, thanks. Call me?"

Andy nods, "Sure."

Buffy smiles as they walk away, "Prue's got a boyfriend…"

Prue glares at Buffy.

Later at Quake. Phoebe and Buffy walks in.

Phoebe smiles, "Whoops, excuse us."

They walk up to a woman.

Buffy smiles, "Hey, how are you?"

The woman looks at them strangely. They go over to Prue and Piper.

Piper nods, "Do you two know that girl?"

Buffy nods, "We almost were that girl."

Phoebe nods, "She was one of Stefan's victims. Obviously doesn't remember."

Prue nods, "Lucky her."

Phoebe shakes her head, "No, lucky us. I learned my lesson. I have got to be more careful. I almost got Buffy and I aged beyond our years."

Prue smiles, "Excuse me, did I just hear it? Did she actually admit to doing something wrong?"

Piper nods, "That's what I heard."

Phoebe nods, "Frame it. It won't happen again."

Piper nods, "At least we helped those people. I mean, it's nice we know our powers really are good."

Prue nods, "Yeah, good for everything but love lives unfortunately. Although I must admit they do come in handy once in a while."

Phoebe nods, "Uh huh. Hypocrite." Phoebe sees the lottery numbers come up on the TV screen. "The winning numbers. I've won." Prue gives her a look. "Well, I did." She gets the ticket out of her purse and the numbers disappear.

Prue nods, "See, I told you. You can't intentionally use your powers for your own personal gain, remember?"

Phoebe sighs, "It's a good thing I didn't take the tags off that dress. Oh, well. At least that old couple didn't lose their house."

Piper nods, "A toast to the power of three. Or is it the power of four, because of Buffy? Whether we like it or not.

Prue smiles, "I don't know about the power of four. In fact If I had to guess it was still a power of three but because Buffy is a Halliwell. It just made the spell stronger but in the end a power of three spell will require the three of us to work. Still Buffy you are definitely Charmed like the rest of us."

Buffy smiles, "That I am."
