The threee broke apart and Prue and Piper wiped away their tears.
"This is just..." Piper said, her voice trailing.
"I know." Prue said quietly.
"What - What happens now?" Paige asked.
"The Book, right?" Piper said to Prue.
"Yeah, we... we all need to go to the manor." Prue said. "I think once we do that, everything will be okay."
Paige nodded slightly and folled her newfound sisters to the car.
* * * *
Paige's eyes widened when she saw the manor for the first time. She felt an odd sense that she belonged, but... she just couldn't get over the pink.
"It's beautiful." Paige said as she opened her door.
"It's home." Piper said and looked up at the old home.
"Our home." Prue said and joined them.
"So, what now?" Paige asked. "We're here, like you said, so... now what?"
"We go inside." Prue said. She lowered her head, knowing that the Book would not be inside. She had no idea how they would reconstitue the Power of Three without it.
Once inside, Piper and Prue threw off their coats. Paige kept hers on, not really feeling comfortable enough to hang it up or just drop it some place.
"Aren't you hot?" Piper asked.
"Oh." Paige said and took off her coat. She chuckled nervously and hung it up. Even she could see that this was Piper's way of breaking the ice.
"To the... the attic I guess." Prue said and went upstairs. Piper and Paige followed.
Piper went over to the empty podium and ran her hands over it. Puzzled, she looked at Prue.
"Prue, where's the Book?"
Prue turned to her.
"Don't be mad. I - I did it after Phoebe... well, I took the Book and I... threw it in a river."
"You what?" Piper exclaimed.
"I know!" Prue said. "It - I don't know. I guess that's how I took out my anger. When I threw the Book in the river I was kind of saying, 'Hey, screw you magic! We don't need you!'"
"How are we going to reconstitute the Power of Three?" Piper asked.
"Hey, no one ever asked me if I wanted to be a witch." Paige broke in.
Prue turned to her with sad eyes.
"No one asked us either."
A bright blue light suddenly filled the room. The room started to shake slightly as well.
"What's going on?" Paige asked loudly. "An eartquake?"
Prue smiled as the Book floated down from the ceiling and landed gently on the podium. After the Book was resting on the podium, the shaking stopped and the light faded.
"What was that?" Paige asked.
Piper and Prue smiled when they saw the triquetra reform.
"I think it's someone's way of telling us that everything is going to be okay."
