Author's Note to the readers: For the past couple months, my mind has completely been dry from the muses and all kinds of inspiration. Tonight, I said to myself that I would not leave this chair without an idea. Well, after listening to "A semi-Charmed life" by Third Eye Blind, I came up with a brilliant idea. The story takes place 15 years after Prue died. Piper had a baby girl named Melinda who is 14 and Phoebe and Cole have a 11 year old named Matt. Paige is dating a guy named Stephen, who has been with her for about 4 years. The Source is gone. Demons didn't attack much, but it isn't a big deal when they did. Here is the story, a young girl has had mysterious visions in her sleep most of her life. One of the Charmed ones begin sharing them with her and sees something familiar behind them and the girl. Enjoy and please R/R!

About this chapter:
It is just getting you ready for the story. It shows about the Charmed Ones and the girl's life right now. It will get better once you learn the story. Enjoy!

"Angela, if you don't get this instant, you will be late for your first day of school! Angela, don't you hear me?"

Angela's bright blue eyes opened up and she began to rub them. Another boring day and yet, another sleepless night. Ever since the car accident that left her parents died, Angela had many sleepless nights getting sharp images in her head. Most of the time, they had to do with the car accidents, but sometimes it was deja vu. Finally, Angela flipped the lavender flowered comforter off her bed and slided out of bed. Her long black hair was a wreck from the tossing and turning at night. For a fifteen year old, Angela had the world on the shoulders. She had placed in over 50 different foster homes since the car accident when she was a baby and yet again was in a brand new one. This time, the Jolsons had taken her in. They had a 17 year old son who had just lefted for college at UCLA. They wanted another child around and decided to on the challenge named Angela. Angela hopped into the shower and began to smell the unusual smells of a new homes. They were wonderful smells like fresh breakfast with the family and even new shampoo. After her shower, Angela dried off and opened up the beautiful new chest of drawers. They were filled with new clothes of every color imaginable. She pulled on a pair of new blue jeans and a green mini tank top. Over it, Angela put a turqoise overcoat. She then went downstairs and saw everyone was at the breakfast table already.

"Angela, you look very pretty for your first day." said Mr. Jolson from behind the Business section of the newspaper.

Angela smiled slightly and sat at the other end of the table. Mrs. Jolson joined them and tried to make conversation with this child who seemed closed from the world.

"Angela, the school volleyball team are having tryouts next week. Do you like volleyball?"

Angela looked at her with a very blank stare and spoke in very soft words.

"I haven't ever played a sport. Everytime I made a team, I went to a new home and couldn't play."

Mrs. Jolson smiled and begin to sip her coffee.

"Hopefully, you will be here for a while. Come on, we need to register you for school."

Nodding, Angela politely pushed in her chair and grabbed her new backpack. She looked at the house, almost taking a picture in her mind. It was a beautiful house painted an off white with a front yard fence, It had pale blue shudders and a thick, green yard, Mr. and Mrs. Jolson drove out the garage in a pine green SUV and Angela went and shut the door. The family backed out of the driveway and drove away.

~*~Halliwell Manor, the same morning~*~

Piper layed in bed with Leo along stand her. For the last few night, a good night sleep hasn't come very easily to her. Sharp images of car accidents kept filling her dreams. Piper couldn't put it together or what it had to do with her life now. A baby's cry kept filling it no matter what the dream was. Looking at her clock which read 5:45, Piper got up to wake Melinda down the hall. Slowly, she opened the door and Melinda was sleeping with a peaceful look on her face. It seemed like yesterday that Melinda had been a baby and now she was a freshman in high school. Piper shook Melinda awake and gave her a grin.

"Time to get up sleepyhead. You have school today!"

Melinda rolled over facing her mother. She looked like Piper. Melinda had long, brown hair and brown hair just like Piper. Her build was more like Leo though. Her powers were Piper's. She could freeze time.

"Mom, I don't want to go to school. I have that Geometry test and I am not ready yet."

Piper bent over and kissed Melinda's forehead. She pulled her up at the same time. Melinda wiped her eyes and went to the bathroom. Piper could hear Matt already in the other bathroom. Quietly, Piper peered into Paige's bedroom. She saw it was empty. Piper then remembered that Paige had spent the night with Stephen. One of these days, those two will get married! Piper thought to herself. Phoebe passed her in the hallway. She was already dressed and getting ready to leave for work. Phoebe was now the owner of one of the Piper's club in her new chain of clubs in California.

"Morning, Piper." Phoebe sighed.

Piper nodded and gave a smile.

"I feel the same way when I try to get Melinda out of bed. She is in charge of showing a new student around today. Melinda said the girl's name is Angela. She is a foster child who is new to the district."

"Must be rough to be tossed around to different places all time."

Piper nodded and began walking with Phoebe down to the kitchen.

"This girl has gone to 50 different foster homes. At least that is what the principal said on the phone." said Piper as she made a bit of coffee.

Phoebe looked at her in disbelief and almost spit out her coffee.

"50! Imagine what it has done to the poor girl."

"I can't even imagine. Anyway, I have been having alot of weird dreams."

"Oh? What are they like? I mean are they demonic or normal?" asked Phoebe as she fixed up the eggs in the skillet.

"I don't really know. They aren't the Dream Sorcerer kind, but they are sharp."

"Sounds like my preminitions. Do you think it could be one in your sleep?"

Piper sighed and went to the door to find the post. She sat down and began reading.

"I think I am just overeacting. It is just a regular dream."

At that moment, Melinda raced downstairs with Matt quickly following her.

"Gimme back my wallet Melinda!" Matt screamed as he chased her around the living room.

"Oh shut up!" said Melinda and she froze him.

Piper looked at Melinda and Melinda tried to look as innocent as possible.

"Melinda Grace Wyatt! You unfreeze your cousin this instant!"

Melinda crossed her arms and eyed her mother crossly.

"Mom, I don't want to. He was trying to hurt me just because I took his nasty, old wallet. It wasn't my fault."

Phoebe decided it was time for to step into the conversation before it went any farther.

"Melinda, unfreeze him now please. Piper, stop yelling or you will give yourself a migraine."

Melinda rolled her eyes and unfroze Matt, who had been in midair. He went falling to the ground. Melinda giggled and then stopped herself at the stern look on Piper's face. Matt got up and looked around the room. Matt looked like Cole dead on. His build, hair, and eyes were like Cole's. He did have Phoebe's power of levitation however.

"I hate my power Mom! It isn't quick enough to get away from Melinda."

Phoebe smiled and a memory came up in her mind,

"Prue! We have had this conversation! You promised not to use your active power on me until I had one to use on you!"
"Well, I needed to stop you from kicking Piper's ass!"


Phoebe remembered when she bitched about her own power of preminition. Piper began giving the kids lunches and going to the car. With everyone buckled in, Piper drove away quickly down Prescott Street.

~*~West High School, that same day~*~

Angela walked into the office with caution as the Jolson spoke with the Guidence Counselor about Angela's placement in classes. She saw with them was a small girl who seemed cheery enough for her. After a few minutes, Angela had been called into the office. As she slipped into the back of the office, the teacher gave her a smile.

"I am Ms. Gregor and I am the class placement counselor. You must be Angela."

Angela nodded faintly. She hated such dimwitted people who acted like she was about five and with an IQ of 3.

"Well Angela, you are a pretty good class order here. Melinda, could you come in here please?"

The small girl from before came into the room and sat down. The girl's long, brown hair swayed on her back and her liquid, brown eyes glistened.

"Angela, this is Melinda Wyatt, your tour guide for the day. She will show you the routine."

Melinda gave Angela a warm smile. Her face turned a bit as she eyed her like an x-ray. Angela stood there and kept a blank look on her face. I hate this so much! Take me away again!

"Well, go on you two. Have a great day Angela." called Mrs. Jolson.

As the two left the office, Angela felt somehow connected to this Melinda girl. It was like she knew had known her before. After only making to the library, Melinda stopped her.

"I have to tell you something. You make think this is crazy. Okay?"

Angela nodded and smiled.

"You can't be crazier then me. Keep going."

"When I first saw you, I thought you were my aunt. At least, what her pictures look like."

"Did she die?"

Melinda nodded.

"Before I was born. My mom's oldest sister. Her name was Prue."

Prue? The name rang in Angela's ear. Like she knew it..
