Let's pretend this takes place, like, two weeks before "Three Faces of
Phoebe."
Piper pulled a tray of croissants out of the oven and slid them into a woven basket. She walked into the dining room and set the basket on the table. Leo stared hungrily at the food. Piper frowned. " Where is everyone?"
" I don't know," Leo said without paying attention. " Pass the croissants?" Piper, annoyed, pushed the basket towards him. Without warning Paige orbed in, knocking Piper to the ground. Piper moaned angrily.
"Ouch - Paige!" Piper got up and stared at her. "Wait, Paige…? You just orbed in - from another room?"
" Yep," Paige said happily. " I've been, you know, practicing. I didn't want to do it until it was perfect. Wow, I'm starving." She sat down at the table and dug in. Leo was already on his second helping of French toast.
"That orbing burns a lot of calories. Why do you think I married a chef?" Leo grinned at his wife.
" I can't believe your powers are advancing so rapidly. Hey, slow down or you'll choke!" Paige and Leo inhaled their food. " Can't you wait for Phoebe and Cole?"
Paige shook her head. " I gotta go." She grabbed a blueberry muffin, pecked her sister on the cheek and headed out through the kitchen.
The Whitelighter chimes rang and Leo looked up. " It's the Elders. They probably want to congratulate us on defeating the Source."
" Us?" Piper asked. " Please, Leo, it was Phoebe, Paige and me." He shrugged and orbed away while chewing on a croissant.
He took on his regular form when he reached the Elder's Chamber. Leo smiled. "You rang?"
" Leo," Engel boomed (he had no sense of humor), " tell the Charmed Ones we greatly appreciate all they have done."
" Defeating the Source is an honor," Divina said quietly.
" We wish to reward them," Celio explained.
" With what?"
" A visit from their sister." White energy formed, becoming human- shaped. It became Prue. She smiled.
" Hello Leo," she said sweetly.
Leo walked over to embrace her. " Hey Prue."
" For seven days she will live as a mortal with her sisters, her powers restored." Ouraina smiled down upon them. " Go. Take her to her sisters."
He grabbed Prue's hand and orbed her to the manor. " Piper! Phoebe!" The two women stood up from the dining room table.
" What is it, Leo? Demon?" Piper walked into the living room. Her eyes got very bright.
" Prue?" Suddenly Piper felt four years old. It was like the time when Prue went to camp all summer and Piper thought she'd never see her again.
" Is it really you?" Phoebe tried not to cry. Prue…her big, annoying, control freak sister was back.
" It's me." Both Piper and Phoebe ran to her and wept happily. " I'm back."
