Prue walked into the kitchen slowly. She stopped when she was the
faces of the incredibly stressed Phoebe and Piper. " What's going on?" she
inquired. " Demon?"
Piper smiled. " No. Right about now a demon would be heavenly." Paige walked in to the kitchen and stepped back. " Whoa, who died?" Paige wondered. She turned to Prue. " No offense."
" Oh, none taken," Prue said. She turned back to Phoebe and Piper. " So what's with you guys?"
Phoebe looked up. " Well, the Elders saw us battle that demon yesterday and thought we did really well. So they think Prue should come back."
" But," Piper added, " that means Paige can't be a Charmed One either."
The idea slowly sunk in. Everyone was quiet. Paige cleared her throat. " I, uh, I should get going," she said. Piper looked like was about to say something but Paige orbed before she could. She reformed in an empty office at work. Her heart sank. She was screwed. When she first met Piper and Phoebe, they were always talking about Prue, about how strong and intelligent she was. The endless Prue-a-thons had stopped, but Paige knew they still wished that Prue were here instead of her. Now that they had her back, there was no way her sisters would let her go.
Paige leaned against the wall. How could she go back? How could they ask her to not be a witch any longer? Even worse, how could she not be a sister anymore? For so long she'd had no family, after her foster parents died. They would wipe her memory, but it wouldn't be the same. There'd still be something missing inside her.
***********************
Prue grabbed a bagel and picked it apart, then popped a nugget of it in her mouth. Stupid Elders, she thought. Why can't they make their own decisions? Why put my sisters through pain? And me too…
The oldest sister felt screwed, no matter what happened. Her sisters could choose Paige, which made sense. She had telekinesis, plus orbing, and soon she'd be able to heal. Her powers would advance soon, too. No one would want lowly Prue.
But what if they did? Prue chewed on the rock-hard bagel. Everything was so different from a few months ago. Death had changed her. Could she go back to being the strong Prue her sisters expected from her? It didn't seem likely after yesterday, when she sobbed over a few cuts.
Piper watched her big sister, quietly eating breakfast. Who would she pick? Prue was her big sister, one of the people she loved most in the world. But now Piper was the big sister, and to tell the truth, Piper enjoyed being in charge. The change would be awkward. But how could she not pick Prue?
Phoebe buttered herself a slice of toast. She had no idea what to do. Everything was spinning out of control it seemed. Prue or Paige? she asked herself. Her mind drew a blank. Prue or Paige?

I know, short chapter. I seriously do not know who the sisters pick. But who do you guys want?
