NOTE: The spell Paige says was used on Charmed. I didn't write it. It's good though. I wish I did.



Leo, still woozy, followed Paige up the stairs. " Whaddya have in mind, Paige?" he asked.

She didn't answer. She flipped open the book, whipping through the pages. "Leo, set up some candles." He obliged. Paige found the page she was looking for. " 'Hear these words, hear my cry, spirit from the other side. Come to me, I summon thee. Cross now the Great Divide.'"

A gold mist appeared in the center of the room. It took the shape of a young woman. Leo suppressed a gasp when Prue appeared.

Paige smiled weakly at her half-sister. " Hi, Prue. I'm Paige."

" I know," Prue said softly. " I watch you and my sisters. You're becoming a great witch."

" Thanks," Paige said, her pale cheeks growing rosy. " So I guess you know what happened."

" I do," Prue told her. She looked away. " Phoebe's the Queen of the Underworld. Piper's her royal lady."

" I didn't know the last part," Paige admitted.

" Why did you call me, Paige?"

" I need three witches to bring back my sisters. You being a former Charmed One, I thought you'd make a nice replacement."

That brought a small smile to Prue's face. " You need one more."

" Exactly." Paige recited the spell again. This time, Patty Halliwell came. " Hi Mom," Paige said shyly.

Patty beamed at her youngest daughter. " Hello Paige."

" Listen you guys. I'm supposed to follow my sisters and go evil. Hopefully we'll get to them before I do. In the meantime, I've got a plan."

The Source stood patiently as one as evil as him could stand. " Well?" he asked the snowy-eyed Seer.

The white faded. " Paige has figured out how to bring her sisters back- and vanquish you."

" What?" he exclaimed. He quickly calmed down. " They could not do it before, they cannot to it now."

" She has summoned her mother Patty and Prue Halliwell. Both were powerful witches. Quite possibly this time they could destroy you."

Cole slammed his fist on a table. " They must not get in the way! Or else Phoebe will revert to her former self." He paced for a moment. " I'll send demons, power brokers, Minions- whatever it takes."

The Seer nodded. Cole flamed out into his chambers. Phoebe had fallen asleep in her throne. Piper, dressed in blood-red robes, bowed to him. " My Master."

He nodded. " You look bored. I officially put you in charge of dispatching demons. Send several to your sister."

Piper bit her lip. Evil was strong, but sisterly love was stronger. Cole's eyes flamed and turned black. Quickly she agreed and shimmered away.

Paige added a pinch of salt to the potion. She spilled a bit over the side. " Oh, goddamn it!" She smacked the counter as if it offended her.

" Don't give into your anger," Prue told her. " It's only a little spill."

Her sister sighed, taking a deep breath. She poured jasmine oil into the tonic and looked up at her sister and mother, wearing regular clothing and not shimmering. " So the Elders were all right with you being alive for a while?"

" They weren't too happy," Patty admitted, " but to save all witches, present and future? Even They couldn't stand in the way."

Suddenly there was an explosion. A man shimmered in, holding a ball of power.

" Power broker!" Paige shouted. She'd dealt enough with them to know she didn't want to repeat the experience. When he threw an orb at Prue, Paige called, " Power!" It dissolved into blue fire and she threw it at the demon. Prue knocked him into a wall and Patty made him explode.

" We're pretty good," Paige commented. Suddenly she had an urge to kill demon after demon. Ignoring the urge she continued to work on the potion.
