Once they were at Lynn's house, they explained everything to Nicole.
"Figures." Nicole mumbled as she sat down at the table with her coffee.
"Well, we're really sorry. We would leave right away, but there's that demon, so..." Prue said, her voice trailing off.
"Of course. Demons. It's always something like that. Well, I assume none of you knows how long you'll be staying, so one of you can sleep on the couch, one can take the guest room, and the last one will get the floor." Nicole said.
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe looked at each other.
"Guest room!" Prue yelled out.
"Couch!" Piper yelled.
"Fl...oh darn." Phoebe said.
Lynn walked into the dining room with Jess and Hallie.
"If I miss another one of Professor Dem's lectures, I won't graduate!" Hallie said slamming her book on the table.
"Hey. I'm missing classes and lectures too, and so is Lynn. You're not the only one with school issues you know." Jess said to Hallie.
"Hey guys, could you focus on the demon at hand please...thank you." Lynn said.
Hallie and Jess just looked down.
"So, what demon was it?" Piper asked.
"Well, I don't know. He seemed familiar, but..." Lynn started, but Phoebe interrupted.
"Oh no. Not him again!"
"No Phoebe. It wasn't him. He's dead...I'm sure of that. It's just that I think I might have seen a picture of him or something." Lynn said.
"Sorry to go off subject here, but Prue, Jer is wor...oh my god! They don't know where we are!" Piper said.
"Who?" Nicole asked.
"Jer, Leo, and Cole. Hey, can we use your phone?" Prue asked.
"Uh...yeah." Nicole said looking at them funny.
After a few phone calls to explain things, the girls all relaxed in the living room.
"Well, I hate to leave you demon hunters, but I've got to get to work." Nicole said, then grabbed her stuff and left.
"Okay, so how do you know what demon it is...or how have you seen it before?" Prue asked.
"Well, I don't know. I know I've seen it before...but it was a long time ago. I know that." Lynn said.
"You don't think it could've been the first time...when you looked in the Book Of Shadows...do you?" Phoebe asked sitting up.
"It could have been. I'm not really sure though." Lynn replied.
"B.O.S?" Jess asked.
"Well, how would we..." Piper started, but Lynn, Hallie, and Jess just got up and went upstairs.
Prue just said, "Okay." and they followed the girls.
When they got to the room that the girls were in, Piper asked, "Okay, I'm going to ask this...B.O.S? How are we going to read that when we're here?"
Lynn, Hallie, and Jess were huddled around a small podium type thing and then they all stepped away, revealing a book.
Phoebe, Piper, and Prue stepped forward.
The book seemed to glow a little with a golden light.
"What is it?" Phoebe breathed, still amazed.
"Our B.O.S. It's the Book Of Saints." Jess said.
"Where'd you get it?" Piper asked. They were all still looking at the book.
"It was my mother's." Lynn said sheepishly.
"Of course, it's been in the family for ages, but now the Young Three use it." A voice said.
"What was that?" Phoebe asked nervously.
"Oh...that's just my grandmother." Lynn said smiling.
Phoebe, Piper, and Prue looked around the room trying to find the body that the voice came from.
"She uses the book." Lynn said.
"Huh?" Piper asked.
"She uses the book. When the book is open, my grandmother can talk through its pages. She talks about a lot of things, but she doesn't talk all the time." Lynn explained.
"Neat." Phoebe said placing her hand on the book.
"Yes. Very neat indeed." Lynn's grandmother's voice said. "Lynn dear, I think the demon you're looking for is somewhere else. He's not in here. Goodbye."
The room was silent again.
"She's gone." Lynn said lightly.
"So, according to your grandmother, the demon isn't in your book. Where is it?" Prue asked.
"Well, it's in your Book Of Shadows." Jess said.
"Well, how do you know?" Prue asked.
"Lynn said she saw it before. And well...she might have seen it in your Book." Jess said.
"Okay. Well, I'll get Leo to bring us the Book...nevermind. That just won't work. Prue could...no that won't work. Prue doesn't know what you see. Maybe...oh this is all just way too much. Can we just like go downstairs and relax or something?" Piper asked.
Everyone agreed and they all went downstairs. They were sitting on the couchs with the TV on and were talking about their adventures.
"One thing I don't get about the future though." Phoebe said. "Nine years from now there are two kids...about five or six, but the baby will be about ten and those kids weren't ten, so what's up with that?"
Lynn just giggled a little. Everyone seemed to get it, except for Phoebe.
"Come on Phoebe, put the pieces together." Prue said trying to help Phoebe a little.
Phoebe still looked a little confused, then after a minute her eyes widened and she stood up.
"Oh my gosh!" Phoebe said waving her hands.
"Yay, she got it! And it record time too. It usually takes her much longer to figure things out." Piper said sarcastically.
Phoebe just picked up a small pillow off the couch and tossed it at Piper.
"And speaking about the future," Piper said, "Is my hair really that bad?"
Lynn just made a face and said, "Honestly? It looks like the demon of bad hair days and bad fashion posessed you and took over your soul."
Everyone just laughed and then they started flipping through the channels for a good movie or show on TV.
"This one, this one, this one!" Phoebe squealed pointing at the TV.
"But this movie is old. We've already seen it...at least Prue and I have." Lynn said. She was talking about the car chase movie she'd seen on her very first visit.
"Well, it doesn't look old. It looks good. Come on, let's just watch it." Phoebe pleaded.
Lynn thought she felt a chill, so she just said, "Yeah, okay. I've got to go upstairs."
Lynn put the remote on the table and walked upstairs.
She entered the "book room" and sat in a chair.
"Grandma, do you want something?" Lynn asked outloud.
A small breeze came through the open window. Lynn got up, closed the window, then sat back down.
"Lynn, the demon you're after isn't in their book. You've seen it before, in a dream." Her grandmother's voice came.
Lynn shuddered. She hated her dreams. She only hated the dreams that were premonitions as well.
"You were young," Her grandmother continued, "If the dreams weren't so powerful, you would have forgotten, but you saw the day. The day will come, and you must be prepared. Another dream will come. Remember it."
Lynn waited for her grandmother to speak again, but the room was silent. Lynn sighed heavily. She hated waiting. Lynn got up and went into her room.
"Everything always happens to me. Why can't just once someone else get the bad end of things?" Lynn asked outloud.
"Maybe because you're the only one that can handle it."
Lynn turned and saw Nicole.
"Back from work so soon?" Lynn asked.
"Well, I really couldn't concentrate on what I was supposed to be doing. Plus, Ashley's stopping by later, so I thought that I would do something to prepare. Even thouhg I'll probably just end up doing nothing." Nicole said.
"Yeah. Who can concentrate with this stuff going on? I mean, three witchs dropping out of the sky...literally, and coming over for a sleepover. Don't you just wish that our biggest problem was forgetting to put the garbage out?" Lynn asked.
"You know something?" Nicole said. "No. Actually I don't."
Nicole smiled and went to her room.
Lynn smiled to herself and realized that waiting wouldn't be so bad.
"Figures." Nicole mumbled as she sat down at the table with her coffee.
"Well, we're really sorry. We would leave right away, but there's that demon, so..." Prue said, her voice trailing off.
