Prue stood up from the table. " I'm, uh, going to go, uh, upstairs."
" Oh, Prue, you don't have to go," Phoebe said. Prue shook her head. " I'm going to go take a shower, get dressed…" she trailed off and walked out of the kitchen. Piper looked at Phoebe.
" So, who do you love more? Maybe they could buy us presents, and we'll see what we like best," Phoebe joked. Whoa, she thought. That was a lame joke, even for me.
Piper glared at her sister. " God, Pheebs, can you take anything seriously? This is a life-and-death decision here."
" Really, Piper? Well, gee, I guess I forgot!" Phoebe cried, her tone hysterical. Piper took in a deep breath.
" I'm sorry, Pheebs. It's just-"
" I know. I know."
They were silent. " So," Phoebe began slowly, " uh, who do you think should be the, uh, the Third Charmed One?"
" I think Paige should be it." Phoebe looked at her sister, surprised. When they first met each other, Piper wanted to kill Paige. In fact, she almost did.
" Really?"
" Paige is more powerful than Prue." Piper's tone was medium loud, steady and emotionless. " She's telekinetic, she can orb now, and she'll be able to heal."
Phoebe studied her sister and sighed. " That's not why you think she should stay."
" Who do you think should stay?" Piper asked, trying to bury her fury.
" Prue."
" Why?"
Phoebe paused. " Because…I don't know why."
" That's a great answer."
" Look, Piper, I don't really want to lose any of my sisters, OK? I just want everything to be back to normal!"
" We're Halliwells, Pheebs. Normal isn't a word used too often here." Phoebe almost smiled. " You're right, though. This isn't fair."

" It was cruel of us to put this upon them," Divina said, glancing at the Halliwell manor. " Just because we could not solve our own differences."
Caelestis nodded. " But when can we do now?' Bozidar inquired.
" Help them," Chiela stated quietly.
Engel gave her a look. " Do you have any ideas?"
" Let them see the future," Leilani suggested. " Let them see what is to come."
" That would give them too much information," Celio replied.
" It could be painful," Ouraina agreed.
" So is this!" boomed the usually quiet Chiela. She lowered her head in shame. " I apologize."
" We forgive," the Seven answered.
" If Chiela feels so strong about it, we should do it," Bozidar said. The Elders nodded.
Caelestis also bowed his head. " Summon Leo."
" Oh, Prue, you don't have to go," Phoebe said. Prue shook her head. " I'm going to go take a shower, get dressed…" she trailed off and walked out of the kitchen. Piper looked at Phoebe.
