1 The Illness
This story takes place during season 3 sometime I guess. Leo and Piper are married. Cole isn't in this. So yeah…I guess that's it. On with the story…
It was a cold, stormy, February Saturday morning; Piper and Prue were both up and dressed in jeans and t-shirts. Piper was making pancakes and Prue was reading the newspaper while sipping her coffee. "So how long do you say it will be before Phoebe wakes up?" Piper asked while finishing up her cooking.
"Hmmm…I dunno…with the smell of those pancakes cooking, I'd say about a minute." Prue says while she puts her newspaper down.
"Yeah, maybe less." Piper said. Prue took another sip of her coffee and just watched Piper cook. It came so natural to her, and everything she makes is always so good. Prue watched her sister move swiftly around the kitchen putting things away and taking things out, but her thoughts were interrupted as she felt someone wrap their arms around her neck from behind.
"Good morning," Phoebe said cheerfully as she gave her big sister a kiss on the cheek. She then walked over to Piper and did the same.
"Well someone's in a good mood today." Piper said as she looked at Phoebe who was fully dressed and ready for the day ahead. Phoebe just smiled pouring herself a cup of coffee and sat down at the table next to Prue.
"Those pancakes smell really good Piper" Phoebe said as Piper put a plate full of them on the table and sat down across from her sisters.
"Yeah, I think Phoebe and I would starve with out you." Prue said as she grabbed some pancakes and poured syrup on them.
"Definitely, Prue and I can't cook for our lives." Phoebe said as she started shoving food into her mouth. Piper and Prue just smiled at their younger sister.
"So, Leo's not back yet?" Prue asked Piper.
"No, he said he would be gone for a while, but he didn't say specifically how long a while is." Piper said obviously a little annoyed.
"Yeah well, don't worry I'm sure he'll be back soon." Prue said.
"So what's on our agenda for today?" Phoebe said as she finished up her second helping of pancakes.
"I don't know, what do you guys feel like doing?" Prue asked.
"Lets go shopping!" Phoebe yelled.
"Pheebs, we just went shopping like 2 days ago. And if I remember correctly, I think you spent almost 200 dollars of mine and Prue's money on more clothes to add to your wardrobe." Piper said, but she wasn't angry.
"Yeah and incase you haven't noticed Pheebs, but there is a pretty nasty storm out there today, so I think we're gonna be restricted to the house for a while." Prue told Phoebe as she looked out the window.
"What? It's raining? I didn't know that." Phoebe said loosing her enthusiasm for the day.
"Oh come on Pheebs cheer up." Piper said as she started to clean the dishes off the table. Prue and Phoebe both got up and helped clean the kitchen.
"I have an idea. What do you say I run out and rent a bunch of movies and buy a whole lot of junk food and we'll just curl up on the sofa under a nice warm blanket and veg out today?" Prue suggested.
"Hmmm…that sounds really nice. Hopefully we won't have any interruptions if you know what I mean," Piper said as they all walked into the living room.
"Well don't jinx it Piper." Prue said. "What about you Pheebs?"
"Sure that sounds good, but if it is a nice day tomorrow we are gonna go to the park or something, ok?"
"You got it Pheebs." Prue said as she put on her coat and grabbed her keys. "Any preference as to what movies you guys wanna see?"
"Uh, I dunno, whatever looks good and we haven't seen."
"Okie dokie, be back soon." Prue said as she walked out the door.
"Be careful driving Prue!" Piper yelled to Prue while she was running to her car trying to get out of the rain.
"I will!" Prue said back and jumped in her car. She pulled out onto the road and was off to the stores.
45 minutes later, Prue came stumbling into the manor holding 2 grocery bags filled to the top, and another bag which held 3 videos. She kicked the front door shut and ran into the kitchen to set the bags down before she dropped them. Piper and Phoebe were watching TV when they heard Prue come in and were now on their way to the kitchen as well to see what Prue got.
"So what kinda food did ya get?" Pheebs asked looking in the bags.
"Well, lets see." Prue said as she started pulling food out of the bags. "Here we have some popcorn, a bag of pretzels, Doritos, Ruffles and onion dip, oh, and I couldn't resist these…" Prue said as she pulled out the Twizlers. "And in this bag we have a half gallon of strawberry ice cream for you Pheebs, a half gallon of Chocolate Chip Mint for you Piper, and a half gallon of vanilla fudge swirl for me."
"Geeze Prue, think ya went a little overboard?" Piper asked looking at all the food on the counter.
"I did, didn't I?" Prue realized once she looked at everything. "Oh well, it'll last a while."
"Alright, let's gain 20 pounds!" Phoebe said sarcastically. "So what movies did you get?"
"Hmmm…I got Austin Powers 2, the Fast and the Furious, and lastly The Perfect Storm."
"What a selection Prue." Piper said eyeing the movies.
"Well what did you expect? It's a rainy Saturday, there wasn't much to choose from."
"Let's watch Austin Powers!" Phoebe yelled grabbing the video. "I never saw the second one." Phoebe ran into the living room with the video. Piper and Prue just looked at each other, smiled, and grabbed all the snacks and followed Phoebe.
Down in the Underworld an evil demon named Zolar was plotting to destroy the Charmed Ones. "This is perfect!" Zolar said to the lower demon that served him. Afraid of speaking, the lower demon just nodded. "Alls I have to do is infect the oldest and the other two will be easy to kill."
"What is your plan of action?" the lower demon asked.
"I will go up and infect the oldest. Then I will return here and we will wait for her to fall ill. Once she has lost all of her strength we will capture the younger ones and bring them here to the Source. Then I will finally get the glory that I deserve."
"What makes you so sure that the two younger ones will not retaliate to our attack?" the lower demon asked.
"From what I have gathered, the two younger ones rely on the oldest for protection and guidance. She is the one who takes charge and forms their plans. She is also the strongest of the three. Once she is lying on her death bed, the two youngest will be so grief stricken that they wont be prepared for us when we attack."
"What bout their whitelighter? Won't he be able to heal the oldest once she becomes ill?"
"No, this infection is immune to all magic…Now enough of all these questions! I am going to put my plan into action." And with that Zolar shimmered out.
It was about an hour and a half later when the movie ended. Piper and Prue were snuggled under a blanket on the couch, and Phoebe was asleep on the floor.
"How did she fall asleep? She's the one who wanted to watch this movie." Piper asked
"Who knows, maybe she didn't get enough sleep last night." Prue suggested as she started to get up.
"Pheebs…Phoebe" Prue gently shook Phoebe awake.
"Wha…huh? What happened?" Phoebe asked rubbing her eyes.
"Silly you fell asleep." Piper said from the couch.
"Oh did I miss the movie?" Phoebe said watching the ending credits on the screen.
"It would appear that way." Prue said as she helped Phoebe up. "Why don't you go lay on the couch? You don't look very comfortable here on the floor." Prue led Phoebe over to the couch. She got under the blanket and snuggled close to Piper. "Any body want anything while I'm up?"
"No I'm good for now." Phoebe said.
"What about you Piper?"
"No thanks. I think I ate enough to last me the week." Piper said.
"Ok, well I'll be right back and we can start the next movie." Prue said as she walked into the kitchen. She grabbed the bag of Twizlers and walked back into the living room. She put the bag on the table and walked over to the TV. "Which movie do you guys wanna watch now?" Prue asked.
"Hmmmm…How about the Fast and the Furious." Piper suggested.
"Alright" Prue bent down to grab the video and at that moment Zolar shimmered in and threw a white energy ball at Prue. Prue had her back turned and didn't even notice that anything was wrong until she heard her sisters scream and turned around just in time for the white ball to hit her right in the chest. With that Zolar's work was done for now and he shimmered back into the Underworld. Piper and Phoebe were expecting to see Prue go flying when the energy ball hit her, but instead the ball was absorbed into her body and Prue collapsed. Piper was the first one to reach Prue followed close by Phoebe.
"Prue?…Prue come on wake up." Piper said as she shook Prue gently. Prue opened her eyes and looked up at her sisters.
"What happened?" she asked while trying to stand up, but her knees gave way and she ended up falling right into her sisters.
"Whoa! Why don't you lay down." Phoebe said as she and Piper helped their sister to the couch.
"Now, are you ok?" Piper asked worriedly.
"I…I don't know. Who was that guy?"
"We don't know. Phoebe go get the book and we can see if we can find anything." Piper said. Phoebe ran up the stairs.
"Prue you don't look so good." Piper said as she felt her sister's forehead.
"I don't feel so good." Prue admitted.
"What ever that guy threw at you was absorbed into your body…Maybe Leo knows something. Leo! LEO! " Piper yelled. Phoebe came running sown the stairs with the book just in time to see Leo orb in.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Leo said looking around. "Wait let me rephrase that. Hey guys, what's wrong?"
"Well this demon guy attacked us, or I should say he attacked Prue." Piper said.
"Yeah, and he threw this white energy ball at her, and instead of it sending Prue flying, it was absorbed into her." Phoebe told Leo.
"And whatever that white ball was it is making Prue sick." Piper said pointing at Prue. Leo looked at Prue lying on the couch. She looked really pale and was starting to cough. Piper quickly covered Prue with the blanket and put a pillow under her head.
"So do you know what it is?" Phoebe asked. Leo was just standing there looking at Prue.
"You say it was a white energy ball?" Leo asked just to make sure.
"Yeah and it was absorbed into Prue's body." Phoebe said.
"Oh my god." Leo said and looked at the sisters. "I'll be right back." He said hurriedly and orbed out.
"Uh…this doesn't look good." Phoebe said, and her and Piper looked down at Prue who was starting to cough even more now.
