Leo smiled at the woman as he got up from under her sink. " All
fixed," he told her.
" Thank you," she said with a smile. " And thank you for the advice. It's really helped me."
" No problem."
" How much do I owe you?"
" Oh, no charge." Leo picked up his toolbox and walked out of the house. She'll make a great Whitelighter, he thought to himself. Once he got to the sidewalk her heard the chimes of the Elders' call. He frowned. He was still upset with the Elders for putting Piper and Phoebe in this awful position.
The chimes rang again. " OK, ok," Leo muttered. He ducked behind a tree and orbed to the Elders' chamber.
" Look," he said immediately up arrival, " I'm only here because you called me, all right? I still do not agree with your decision."
" Leo," Chiela looked down upon him. He looked at his feet. " We have found a way to lessen their pain."
He snorted. " Please."
" Leo!" boomed Engel. He was enraged. " Do not anger us."
" Just tell me what you have to say," Leo stated calmly. He wouldn't let his anger get the nest of him.
Divina gazed upon the Whitelighter kindly. " To help with their decision, we will show two versions of the future to Piper and Phoebe: one with Prue, the other with Paige."
Although he did not show it, Leo was shocked. The Elders never did anything like that.
" Bring them here," ordered Caelestis. Leo nodded and orbed out.

Phoebe looked up from her coffee cup. " You picked Paige?" she asked Piper, still in disbelief. Piper nodded. " Why?"
" What if something happens?" Piper's eyes met Phoebe's as they spoke. "I don't think I can lose Prue again." She paused. " You chose Prue?"
" Yes I did," Phoebe told her. " It's just…Prue was my big sister, besides you. I've known her forever. I think I'll-"
Piper knew why Phoebe stopped. " Paige can't hear you here."
" I think I'll miss Prue more than Paige." It was like acid on Phoebe's tongue. How could she choose a favorite sister? " I hate the Elders," she said to Piper.
The older sister laughed. " Me too." They both began to laugh. Leo orbed in then.
" Hi Leo," Piper greeted him. He looked solemn and her smile vanished. "More bad news?"
" Not exactly," he explained. " The Elders want to help you with your choice."
" They do? How?" Phoebe wondered. Leo rested his hands on both women's shoulders.
" I'll explain when we get there," he said and the three orbed to the Elders.
" Thank you," she said with a smile. " And thank you for the advice. It's really helped me."
