*Scene: somewhere in the clouds*

"So the power of three has been broken," said a voice. "No merely crippled in the times that come" replied a second. "Well what about now?" boomed a third, "how will they survive?" "We can send back what they most desire," Came a meek fourth voice, "or at least for the time being." "Yes, but what about afterwards? The sisters would never give her up again," questioned the third. "They wouldn't have too," replied the first catching on. "She could be a charmed one and when the time comes, stay as their whitelighter." "What about Leo," asked the still-confused second voice. "He is more a friend now than a guardian. Plus there is nothing wrong with having two whitelighters," replied the third. "So we shall return what was lost and then let them keep what was given," said the fourth voice. "So shall it be." "So shall it be," replied the others in unison.

Paige was sitting in a chair feeding Prue, as had become her custom. She was in the middle of her third month and was just starting to show. "Hey little one. How'd you like to have a baby cousin? You could have fun together, be like sisters." Paige said tenderly to the tiny baby in her arms. Prue just cooed and smiled. Suddenly there was a crash downstairs and a confused yelp. Paige just smiled and laughed to herself "I wonder what Pheebs has done now." She got up and with Prue in her arms headed downstairs, ready for a good laugh. But what met her eyes was the last thing she expected. She saw Prue, her dead sister she had never met laying unconscious on the floor.
Paige quickly set baby Prue (I know I know it's confusing the whole Prue/Prue thing but I swear I didn't know when I started) down on a blanket by her side and started to gently shake her sister, trying to wake her. "Prue honey, come on wake up. Yes that's it" she said as Prue started to stir. "W-where am I? How did I get here?" "That's what I was going to ask you." "P-Paige is that you?" "Yes, but how do you know me?" "I watch, watched you guys all the time." Prue said while sitting up and rubbing her head, "So I am obviously back on earth but how, why?" "I think I know why," said Paige solemly, "your here to take my place as a charmed one, or at least for a while." "Why would I need to do that?" "I thought you had been watching?" "I was but..." "My baby here," said Paige while patting her stomach, "won't let me do magic." "What, why?" "It's a long story. One that I'd rather not tell right now." "You can talk to me Paige. You may not know me but we are sisters, and it seems we're going to be living together for a while." " I know, just not now," Paige said, her eyes welling up with tears. "But..."
Just then the door bell rang and Paige jumped up to get it. " Saved by the bell," she muttered to herself. She opened the door to see Phoebe standing on the porch. "Phoebe, haven't you heard of keys? You know the shiny things that go jingle, jingle and are used to unlock things?" "Well, um, I left mine..." She trailed off as she saw Prue, the sister she had missed so much, sitting on the floor, playing with Piper's baby. "Prue!" she screeched. "Is that really you?" she said while touching her sisters arms, answering her own question. "Yes Pheebs it's really me." "But how, why?" "I don't know how, but Paige thinks she knows why." "She's come to fill my place in the power of three, or take her place back depending on how you look at it, until I can do magic again" siad Paige, joining in the conversation. "But what about afterwards? I couldn't handle losing you again." "I don't think that the Elders are that mean. Maybe they'll let me stay as your whitelighter." "What about Leo?" "What about him? I don't think there's a rule about having two whitelighters. Plus, he's always with some other charge. I can be yours personally." "That would be wonderful!" They all piled in a group hugbut realized thar something, someone was missing. "Where's Piper?" "She's at the club." "Well let's go get her and force her to cook a celebratory dinner!" They all ran out the door, Paige with baby Prue in her arms was wondering if this was all to good to be true. Prue was back, and Phoebe was happier than she had been for a long time, but still something didn't fell right. "It's probably just me" she thought to herself and hurried after her sisters.
