All four girls rematerialized back in the foyer, with Tim standing right in front of them.
"Ok, that's it. I'm not moving from this spot till you tell me what the hell's going on around here." Prue said, her arms folded over her chest.
"Hi Prue, I'm Tim. Come, let's all sit at the dining room table and I promise I'll explain everything." He said, ushering them into the room.
As they all sat down, Prue couldn't help staring at the other three girls. They looked different than they had a few minutes ago. Paige's hair had gone from long and dark to short and red. Phoebe's hair had changed too, and did Piper gain weight? The house also felt a little different. There was new furniture in a few places, and other things were gone.
"Alright Prue, here's the story. You are now almost three years into the future. What originally happened was that you died on that day, killed by Shax. We had to go back and rescue you to bring you here. You and your sisters are facing four of the worst demons you can imagine." He said, leaning over the table.
"The four horsemen? We already dealt with them, unless you're talking about something else sent from the Source?" She asked, looking around at the other three women.
"Actually sweetie, the Source is dead, we vanquished him." Phoebe said, touching Prue's hand.
"Several times, and in several forms, including Cole." Paige mumbled, getting dirty looks from Phoebe and Piper.
"The point is, there's a current crisis involving four demon sisters, the Cursed ones. They are trying to take Piper's baby, and use him for their own evil purposes. If the four of you can't work together to destroy them, they just might succeed." Tim continued.
"That still doesn't explain who she is." Prue said, pointing across the table at Paige.
"She's our baby sister, Prue. Our half sister, mom and her whitelighter had her when we were still young." Piper said, putting a hand on Paige's arm.
"Why am I suddenly hearing Cher singing Half Breed in my head." Paige said, then orbed across the table.
Prue jumped when Paige put her hand on her arm.
Meanwhile in the living room, a shimmer began and then Tempus appeared.
"This is hardly fair now is it?" He said, and waved his arm, starting time again.
The two dark haired girls floated down to stand next to him. The blond came in through the hole in the living room wall, and the red head got up from the floor to join the others.
"It looks like we have the starts of a war on our hands ladies. I suggest we leave and regroup to come up with a better battle plan." Tempus said, and they all shimmered away.
At that moment, Tim jumped up from the table followed by the girls. They all rushed into the living room to discover it empty.
"Damn, I was hoping he wasn't going to get involved. He's been weak since the Source was destroyed." Tim said.
"He, who?" Paige asked.
"Tempus, with him involved it puts things on a much more even footing. Hopefully he won't find out what we did with Jenna and Wyatt."
"Who are Jenna and Wyatt?" Prue asked, looking confused.
"Come on Prue, obviously we have a lot more explaining to do." Phoebe said, leading the way upstairs.
