A New Beginning: The Charmed Ones Epilogue

    Patrick yawned as he woke up, he turned his head and stared as his cousin Pike lay on his bed staring at the ceiling.  "Morning," he said quietly.

    Pike turned to face him, "Did last night really happen?"

    Patrick nodded slowly, "'Fraid so."

    "Wow."

    "Yeah."

    "We won."

    Patrick smiled, "That we did."  He rolled over onto his side, "Feels weird doesn't it?"  Pike nodded.  Prue sat up between them in the space on the floor, "You know, first you make me sleep on the floor, and now you're being rude by one talking, and two by not inviting me into the conversation."  Pike smirked as he looked at Patrick.  The two grabbed their pillows and slammed it into Prue, who quickly grabbed hers and joined in the fight. 

    Finally, after a few beatings, they settled down, fully awake and sat on the beds, "What do you think is going to happen from now on?"

    "More stuff like last night," Patrick said.

    Prue nodded, "But we'll be ready for them."

    "Yeah," Pike said giving them a smirk, "We're the," and in a goofy mock-serious tone, "The Charmed Ones!"  Prue giggled as Patrick threw his pillow at him.

    "No!"

    The Oracle cowered behind her crystal ball as the Source paced back and forth, "They still live!  You told me…"

    "I told you to that they could fall."

    He took a deep breath, "You try my patience Oracle."  He squinted his eyes, "I'll deal with them, when the time comes."

The Oracle smiled as she watched the vision of a girl in her crystal ball, "I don't think you'll have much to worry about.  They'll have their hands full soon enough.  She looked up to him, "The Charmed Ones stand in your way yet again, but you've destroyed them once, and you will destroy them again."

    He growled, "You tell me things I already know.  This is just a stone in my shoe, next time I won't be so lenient on them.  I will have their blood!"

    Prue sighed as she scrubbed the floor of the attic, "Hey guys look!"  The two boys shifted to her side, "This is a place for candles."

    Patrick nodded, "Wonder what they used those for."

    "We'll find out eventually," Pike said quietly, "we have all the time in the world."

    "Do you think we'll get a handle on our powers," Prue said to Pike.  He nodded, "Eventually."

    Patrick grumbled, "Sure, you guys get the cool powers.  Pike gets to freeze time, orb, and heal things, and Prue gets to kick ass by moving shit with her mind, and orb—how can that be by the way?"  Patrick sighed, "Meanwhile I get the premonitions," he did the unhappy unshocked dance, "oh the fun!"

    Pike chuckled, "But without them, we'd be no where."

    Prue nodded trying to contain a giggle, "And you're still one of the coolest guys we know."  Patrick narrowed his eyes, "Was that a sarcastic remark from you little one?"  He held up his bucket of water.  Her eyes widened, "Patrick you wouldn't!"

    Pike backed away, "Dude come on…"

    Patrick grinned mischievously, "Start running you two…" 

As soon as they started to, he splashed them with the cold water, and Prue gave out a playful scream, "Oh I'm so going to kill you!"

    From within the room, beyond the sight of man, four beings stood, and smiled as the three cousins playfully fought.  The oldest of the four smiled, "You guys did good."  The sisters smiled to each other, and one of them replied, "Thanks Prue."
