(In Galasia.Prue's Castle)

"Mum, can't we go back? I miss my cousins," said Julia from across the table.

"No.we can't.we have to.uhh.look after the country," said Prue.

"They were sitting at the dining table eating dinner while Prue informed of Julia about what happened at Piper's palace the previous day. She had just gotten to the part where Leo told them that their daughters had powers.

"Look.Jules.honey.sweetheart, we can't go back.not yet.not until we find out what your powers are and why you and your cousins are getting them at such a young age.and why now.Leo won't tell us.He says that we aren't s'posed to know until later," explained Prue.

"But.it's not like I'm dangerous.am I?" asked Julia.

"We don't know that yet. That's one of the things we have to find out." Prue looked up at her daughter and noticed tears welling up in her eyes, "Look sweetie, your cousin froze my.uh.our whitelighter today. That is the power she got from Aunt Piper. For all we know, she could have blown Leo up. You could get telekinesis or astral projection from me. Your father has.had.the power of pyrokinesis and astral projection, so you could have gotten one of those. So, you could be dangerous if we do not find out which ones you have. If you got pyrokinesis and one of your cousins annoyed you, well, they could be up in flames and you couldn't stop it. Now you know that and I know you will try to control yourself, but it doesn't work that easily. It took your Aunts and I awhile before we at least somewhat mastered our powers. Okay?"

"Yes, I guess I understand now."

The two, daughter and mother, sat there for a few minutes in utter silence until Prue came up with an idea. She walked out of the room and went to the palace library where she picked out a book. When she came back she set the book on the table.

"What is that for Mummy?" asked Julia.

"Just watch," said Prue.

Prue then sat down at her throne. She waved her hand just slightly and the book came to her.

"That is telekinesis," said Prue, "now you try."

"Okay."

Julia started concentrating at the book, trying to figure out how her mother made it move. She finally resolved in just concentrating and waving her hand. When Julia did this, the book did nothing, it just stayed the same, and Julia got a bit annoyed.

"Can't get annoyed," she thought, "remember what Mum said."

This time, when Julia started concentrating, she concentrated harder than the first time. When she waved her hand this time, the book came hurtling at her. The book was a foot, half a foot, an inch from her head, and then it stopped, in mid air, it stopped and dropped onto her lap.

"I got it," she said quietly.

Later that day, Julia was spying on her mother talking to Leo. She knew it was about her, and that made it important to her. She was kneeling outside her mother's door and she heard Leo talking.

"She did it, really? The Elders say that can't be true. They say that Julia can't get her powers until Gwyn does and she doesn't have them yet."

"But she did it, right in front of my face. She made the book fly at her and suddenly stop and drop in her lap. And Leo, I didn't do a thing. It was all Julia. Unless." she trailed off.

"Unless someone else did it for me when I got frustrated," said Julia from her hiding spot. "Oops. I wasn't supposed to say that."

"Julia.Have you been listening to us this whole time?"

"Yes, Mum.I have."

"I guess it's for the best," said Leo.
