Author's note: I've decided to make reference in this story to characters I introduced inChristmas: Past and Future. I don't think you will need to read that fanfic to appreciate this one, but it might provide some deeper meaning to this tale. I hope you all enjoy.

Phoebe stood before the Book of Shadows looking at the same page she had read everyday for the last two weeks. As she read over the entry again, she let out a sigh.

"You're going to leave a hole in the Book soon with as many times as you've flipped to that specific entry. What's going on?" Paige asked startling Phoebe from her thoughts.

"I didn't hear you come up the stairs," Phoebe said as she closed the Book.

"You wouldn't have heard an elephant come up those stairs, you're so lost in thought," Paige said as she walked over to the Book and opened it up to the entry Phoebe had been reading. "A Dream Walk? What is that all about?" Paige asked.

"How do you know which entry I was looking at?" Phoebe asked as she gave her sister a little smile.

Paige responded with a bigger smile, "I told you, you're wearing the pages thin flipping to this same spot over and over again. Now what is this all about?"

Phoebe looked away, "I'm not sure."

Paige read over the entry on Dream Walks. "The lies we tell ourselves are the most damaging of all. To know oneself, is to know real truth. For those who dare to walk the path inside, the dream walk reveals what we refuse to see." Paige turned and joined Phoebe by the attic window.

"I was thinking of going on one," Phoebe said softly.

"Can I ask why?" Paige responded just as softly.

Phoebe turned to face her little sister with tears in her eyes. "I need to know why I did what I did. Why I choose evil over good. I need to know if I can be good...."

Paige reached out to grab Phoebe by the shoulders, "Honey, of course you can. You are good."

"Am I Paige? Am I really?" Phoebe said as she shook herself away from Paige. "With Timothy and Amy in my life now, I can't risk not knowing for sure. I won't hurt Amy like I hurt you and Piper. Even if it isn't my fault, I can't do that to her."

Paige nodded her head, walked over and took Phoebe by the hands, "What do we need to do?"

Leo was helping Piper do an inventory at P3 when he heard a crash from the backroom. Rushing in he saw Piper standing with broken glass all around her feet. He ran over by her side to examine her, "Are you ok? Is there anything that needs healing?" he asked with a tinge of panic to his voice.

Piper laughed, "Im fine. We have less shot glasses to count now though."

"What happened?" Leo asked still not over his concern.

"I'm not sure," Piper said, "I was counting glasses and suddenly a strong wind went through the room knocking them over before I got a chance to stop it."

Leo concerned expression hadn't left his face when they heard a scream come from outside the building. Piper and Leo rushed out to the alleyway behind the club to see what was going on. When they got outside, they saw a woman being suspended in mid-air in what appeared to be a wind tunnel.

"Nifty little power, isn't it?" they heard a male voice ask from behind them.

Piper and Leo started to turn toward the direction of the voice, only to see him run past them and around the woman to keep her caught in the wind tunnel he seemed to be creating with his own speed.

"Bet you never thought you would see a demon or warlock too fast for you, did ya? Well, did ya?" he asked as he surrounded the now passed-out woman again. "Think I'm fast enough to get that Book away from you?" he asked as he stopped in front of Piper and Leo, "Gonna need some help with that, but I bet I'm fast enough," he said as he darted off. "Better get ready to catch her, she's going to fall any second now," he added as he came back and left again.

Piper froze the woman as she started to fall. Leo levitated up to catch her and bring her down gently. As she started to revive Leo turned to face his wife. "What the hell was that?" she asked exasperated.

Paige and Phoebe were sitting on cushions in the attic. Five white candles surrounded them in the shape of a pentagram. Phoebe took a rose and allowed one of its thorns to prick her enough to bleed. Paige did the same. They squeezed their hands together and recited the spell....

Phoebe: I leave this world for one I do not know, to see with eyes truths untold.....

Paige: I join with you to be your guide, to see you returned safely to this side.....

Together: Let our minds be open, but leave our bodies closed. Let our hearts explore as the dream walk begins.

With the last line of the spell, they both fell into a trance.

"Phoebe! Paige!" Piper screamed as she walked into the house. When Leo came in from the kitchen shaking his head, Piper looked up the daunting staircase and down at her pregnant belly. "Orb me to the attic?" she asked with a little smile.

Leo walked over and put his arms around his glowing wife. He gave her a slight kiss on the lips as they orbed upstairs.

The smile Leo had put on Piper's face soon faded as she took in the scene before her. "Paige? Phoebe?" she asked as she looked at her entranced sisters.

"Piper, come look at this," Leo called from behind the Book of Shadows.

"A dream walk! They went on a dream walk without talking to me first?" Piper said with exasperation.

"They left a note," Leo said as he handed her the little note Phoebe had left in the Book.

"Yes, well that is all fine and good, but I still have the speedy Gonzales warlock to deal with, and I could really use their help," Piper said sounding more perturbed than she felt. She knew this would be good for Phoebe. She just wished she had picked a better time.

Leo put his arms around his wife and hugged her. "We'll figure this out. It will be ok"

Piper smiled and put her arms around Leo in return. "I hope they're ok."

Phoebe and Paige found themselves walking along a white corridor that seemed to have a bright light at the end of it.

"Do you think this is odd?" Phoebe asked.

Paige shrugged. "Who knows?"

"All dream walks are different. Yours is what you need it to be," said a woman standing behind Paige and Phoebe.

They turned to face a young woman with dark hair and hazel eyes wearing a plane white dress. "I am nameless here, so please don't ask. I am someone that matters to you, but don't ask who, I can't tell you. You can see me and have chosen me because of your powers to see the past and future. I will be revealed to you when you are ready. For now, I am only here to answer your most basic questions."

"Ok then, what happens now?" Phoebe asked.

"You will experience three trials," the woman responded. "You will determine what they are and how they must be solved. I must warn you, if you die in this plane, you will die in your physical body as well."

She turned to Paige, "You are here to help her separate the trials from reality. You can talk to her, but that is all. No other interference will be tolerated. I must warn you as well, because you are connected on this journey, any harm that comes to her, can injure you also."

The woman turned back to Phoebe, "Are you ready to begin?"

Phoebe turned to Paige. " I can't let you....."

Paige interrupted, "There is no backing out now sister. Let's do what we came to do."

Phoebe nodded, grabbed Paige by the hand, and the two of them followed the woman down the corridor into the light beyond.
