2001
"I can not believe he did that!" Leo said. In his fit, he didn't notice everyone in the attic staring at him.
"Leo, calm down. What did he do?" Piper asked, trying to calm Leo down.
"I can't tell you."
"Where did you go?" Phoebe demanded.
"We got sucked into a time vortex. Which reminds me." Piper said, handing the replicated book to Phoebe. "While we were there, we got one of these. We thought that it might help." Phoebe took the book from her.
"You betcha this will help." Phoebe said, sitting down and began to flip through the pages. Melinda looked at Piper and Leo. Both were staring at her with a look that needed no words. "You can't send me back now." Melinda pleaded.
"We won't, but, we know you were staling with the whole nap thing." Piper accused.
"Sorry about that. But you're not going to send me back now?"
"No, the future me promised that you could stay, as long as I sent you back as soon as we defeated the faction, and as long as you were safe."
"Thanks guys." Melinda said. She gave them a big hug. "Now I can help you defeat the demon. Admit it, you needed my help with that Pensis dude."
"Yes, and thanks for your help."
"Any time. But after today, preferably after 18 years." Melinda joked. The crew smiled at the joke.
As suddenly as the first vortex appeared only an hour earlier, a second one opened. Everyone grabbed a hold of something, and held on tight. But they quickly let go, when they discovered that it wasn't sucking them in, someone was being sent through. It was a girl. She landed with a thud in a heap on the attic floor. Phoebe, Prue, Piper, Melinda and Cole stared at her with curiosity. Leo ran over and helped her up.
"You sure came fast." Leo said. Helping her up.
"Who is this Leo?" Piper asked. The girl looked vaguely familiar to her, but she couldn't place where or how.
"Introductions later, I'm here to help with your vanquish. Metro and Janis should be attacking and minute now. Here's the vanquishing spell." She said, handing a copy to each person in the room. "This vanquish will take more than the power of three to vanquish, so that is why I need all of your help." She ordered.
"Not to be rude or anything, but who are you?" Phoebe persisted.
"Not now, will someone to trust and is on your side help?"
"A little. Leo do you know anything about who she is?" Piper asked.
"Yes, but listen, just do what she says, ok?"
Just like mysterious woman said, two figures blinked into the attic. Melinda screamed in surprise. But without any cues, the entire attic (well, the demons were excluded) began to chant the vanquishing spell. They repeatedly said it. It took three times before with a bang, the two demons exploded.
"Wow. That was different." Piper said. "Now, who are you?"
"I'm Paige. Why don't we go downstairs and talk." The mystery woman said. Only she wasn't as much of a mystery seeing as that everyone knew her name. Piper shrugged her shoulders and followed Paige to the living room.
"Ok, who are you?" Piper said.
"Long story. To cut it short, I'm your half sister." Piper wanted to burst out laughing, but the way that Leo was looking at the ceiling, like he did when he pretended that he knew nothing, told Piper to believe her. Phoebe and Prue stared at her with disbelief. Cole and Melinda knew that there place wasn't there, turned and left.
"WHAT?!" Phoebe said. "HOW?"
"Umm… your mom's and Sam's affair was just a little more intense than originally thought. And I was the product of that."
"How come we have never met you before then?" Prue challenged.
"Because when the elders found out about me, they took me and raised me up there, so that their precious Charmed Ones were still there. They put me in charge of the time vortexes when they realized that I was going insane from not doing anything for days on end." Paige explained.
"You grew up, up there?" Phoebe said in amazement.
"Yeah."
"Well how did you get here?" Piper asked.
"I'm actually Paige, but from the future," Paige said, Piper let out an exasperated sigh. She was getting tired of dealing with people from the future, except for Melinda, she was an exception. "And future Leo owed me a favor, because I brought Leo here, to the future, so that they could make sure that Melinda was ok. And I had always wanted to meet my sisters, so here I am, being repaid."
"Wow." Piper said. Her amazement was just too much for words.
"Great." Leo sarcastically said, looking skyward. "They are pretty upset about this." Leo said, directing everything to Paige. "You might want to get back now."
Paige silently nodded her head. With a snap of her fingers, a vortex opened.
"Bye." Phoebe said. "It was nice meeting you." She said, giving her little sister a hug before leaving.
Piper and Prue said goodbye, and Paige stepped through the vortex, back to her own time. Piper turned to Leo. "You knew!" She exclaimed!
Leo looked sheepishly at his wife. "It was another secret I wasn't supposed to tell you because of my job."
Piper looked annoyed and then left to go find Melinda, and to send her back. This time, Melinda left without a fit.
"Bye. I'll see you in eighteen years." Piper said, crying and giving her daughter a hug.
"Yeah." Melinda said, also in tears.
Leo went up and talked to the present Paige, and pulled some strings with her earlier, and had her open a vortex. Melinda stepped into it, and was gone.
"I can not believe he did that!" Leo said. In his fit, he didn't notice everyone in the attic staring at him.
"Leo, calm down. What did he do?" Piper asked, trying to calm Leo down.
"I can't tell you."
