"Hey, everyone" Piper said, walking into he kitchen. Cole was already
there.
"You just got back? I wonder what you and your ex have been up to?"
"It's not what you think. Ditto. Is Phoebe with Clay?" she shot back.
"As a matter of fact, she is" he replied
"Well aren't you worried then?" Piper asked cautiously. Cole's laid-back attitude, of him knowing who Phoebe was with, but didn't care, startled her.
"Maybe. Depends if he's the demon" he replied
"Where does demon come into all of this?"" Piper asked.
"We've got a potion all ready. We just need to figure out which ex of you girls, that he's shifted into"
"What?" Piper clearly confused, asked, "Are you telling me that a demon is behind Clay and Shane being here?"
"Yeah. He usually shifts into the ex of his pray, always a witch, but this time we don't know which one. Don't worry; we have a spare mix of potion. Just in case we get it wrong."
"It can't be Dan," she quickly stated
"Are you sure?" he asked
"Where's Paige? Yes, I'm sure"
"Upstairs, with Shane"
"You let Paige be with a suspected demon?! Are you crazy?"
"Apparently"
They heard a scream, from Paige. Piper grabbed one of the bottles, containing the potion. They saw Shane, knife in hand, about to slit Paige's throat. He glowed a yellow colour, just before Piper threw the potion. Shane stumbled, and fell to the ground.
"It didn't work!" Piper snapped "Are you sure this is the right potion?"
"Phoebe did it last night, I'm positive," Cole answered
"The glow! Why did he glow?!" Paige stammered. Leo orbed in
"Sorry, hun" he said, kissing Piper
"Hello?!" Paige hysterically snapped, "My whitelighter is kissing my sister, and wont help me"
"What?" Leo asked
"Attack of the ex, that's what" Paige said, a hint of sarcasm
"Huh?"
"Tricosero. Shane – the ex" Cole filled Leo in on the situation
"Ohh" Leo exclaimed, "I know"
"We threw potion, didn't quite conquer" Piper said
"I'm guessing because you didn't get the right ex. I remember that Dan is here. Does that mean an ex of Phoebe is here?" Leo asked
"Uh huh" Piper answered "Though he glowed, like yeah"
"Maybe he shifted from Shane to Dan or Clay" Paige coffed, standing up "I know that was not Shane. That demon defiantly WAS Shane"
"He could shift from one ex to another. Wild goose chase" Cole reasoned
"Until he gets one of us. He would go after.. Phoebe! Where's Phoebe?"
"The plan was for Phoebe to hang out with Clay until she knew if he was the demon or not" Cole explained
"Did she take my cell phone?" Piper asked
"No"
"She goes after a potential demon, and we have no frickin way of contacting her?!"
"Supernatural radar" Leo said. He closed his eyes, and sensed for Phoebe. He sensed that she was alive, and that she was in San Francisco. He sensed her! "A park near lake, uh, near Smith Street. I can hear what they're saying"
"What?"
"Uh, Clay is saying that he can bring her to the future, and show her, her daughter. Phoebe is ready to accept"
"Didn't the book say something about making personal desires, then he can conquer? We gotta get there, fast" Piper frantically snapped "Leo?"
"OK" he said, grabbing Piper and orbing out
"Want me to shimmer ya?" he asked Paige
"No, thanks" she refused, nervous
"Come on, they might need the Power of Three"
"But.."
"First time is sickly, but not deadly," he said, holding her hand, and shimmering out
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
"No!" Piper yelled, "Don't do it Pheebs!"
Paige had fallen to the floor, feeling sicker than she ever had, in her whole life.
"Come on," Clay, really Tricosero, said "just hold my hand, I'll take you there. I'll take you to Alyssa, your daughter. You even have nieces and nephews. This is what you really want"
"I know, but.." she stuttered, then came to her senses "you're a demon!" she ran over to Piper and Paige. She helped Paige to her feet.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know what I was thinking.." she said
"NO!" Tricosero yelled, Shane and Dan appeared next to Clay/
Piper froze Clay/Tricosero, and to her amazement, Dan and Shane, or their illusions, disappeared. She grabbed the potion and threw it at him. He unfroze, and smirked.
"Witch, you can never win"
"THE POWER OF THREE WILL SET US FREE" Paige, Piper and Phoebe chanted. It had never failed them. It would never. He potion, which was a puddle now on the flow, glowed and Tricosero exploded.
"I'm sorry, but seeing my daughter was so tempting" Phoebe explained
"It's OK" Piper reassured
"Attack of the ex.. Until next time" Paige giggled
"But he's vanquished, never to return" Phoebe said
"No, I mean a real ex"
"Dan wouldn't attack us" Piper defended
"Neither would Shane" Paige piped in
"Clay wouldn't either.. Wait, scratch that"
"Ex-boyfriend and ex-crim" Piper laughed
"Criminals can change! I changed!" Phoebe said, "Opps, did I just say.."
"Yes! What did you do? Other than shoplifting?" Piper asked
"Nothing. I know nothing about everything"
"And everything about nothing" Cole teased
"Hey!"
"You just got back? I wonder what you and your ex have been up to?"
"It's not what you think. Ditto. Is Phoebe with Clay?" she shot back.
