"Wait. Hold on a minute, how did you guys get here?" Future Paige asked
very confused. Her emotion was very evident upon her face, eyes shining
waiting for a plausible explanation.
Piper taking charge told her everything that had happened, with occasional nods and yeas from Phoebe and Paige.
"So now we have to help them find out how to get rid of the demon, so they can go back, and things around here will go back to normal." Future Piper said, after her past self had finished. Paige's face reddening from her usual very pale self, "Are we an inconvenience or something?"
"No it's just that it is kind of awkward for there to be two sets of Halliwell sisters to be traveling through San Francisco." Future Piper said obviously slightly annoyed with her younger sister's counterpart.
"What do we do now?" Piper asked everyone in the room since all that they seemed to be accomplishing was standing there.
"I say we go and look at the Book of Shadows, to see about the demon, so we can go back and vanquish it." Phoebe said matter of factly. Plus we can see what new spells have been added to the Book of Shadows, she mused in her head.
"Hey, you only get to see as much of the future as you need to! So that means only the necessary spells." Her future self responded after reading her thought, smiling at the insight of the way her past self thought.
"What?' Phoebe asked herself stopping on the stairs which they were all gradually making their way up, "How did you know what I thought?" She asked thoroughly confused.
"Our powers have grown and we've gained some new ones, and I've gained being able to read people's thoughts, sometimes, if I need information I can go into the person's mind but only if I can make physical contact."
"That's the coolest!" Paige exclaimed wishing she had a power like that, "I could use that on any nasty boyfriends who I think are lying to me."
"That's considered personal gain." Piper said as they all, excluding Wyatt and Melinda who were still downstairs playing, reached the attic and made their way to the book. Her eyes widened as she saw how thick the book had gotten since she'd last saw it in their time.
"Phoebe's not the only one who has gotten a cool new power. I can make myself turn invisible, it's kind of a growth from orbing, but I can still orb." Future Paige said to her past self.
"How has our powers grown?" Piper asked her future self, knowing that the future changes all the time, and so their powers could be completely different by the time they reached the time they were in. Since the last time they had traveled to the future Prue had still been alive, and she had only one child, Melinda.
"Well, when I freeze something, I can manipulate the way it looks for a short period of time. It comes in handy when we're being watched by the government and things like that." She said remembering once when she had to change a demon to a lamp right as a police officer walked in to question her, in the disappearance of one of their innocents, before they were saved.
"Hey all this talking is wasting time, we don't know if that demon will attack all of us here in our time." Future Paige said opening the book and begun flipping. Pulling her hands back, the pages began to flip by its self landing on one page with an amulet. It had one green gem on the top, a yellow gem on the left, a red gem on the bottom, and a blue gem on the right; all representing the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. In the middle was the crescent moon symbol that also appeared on the Book of Shadows cover.
"It says that this amulet can channel the pure magic from a witch through it to vanquish most any demon." She said reading from the book, then looking up at all of her sisters and herself.
"Well then we need to find the amulet," Piper said pausing, "Any idea where it is?" She asked making her questioning face.
"It looks familiar, but I can't remember from where." Phoebe said leaning her head on her hand against the stand the Book of Shadows rested on trying to remembering, causing her brown hair to fall into her face.
"Phoebe.Phoebes you guys need to try to call a premonition off of the things in the attic, and that might lead to where the amulet is, since it is a part of our family." Future Piper said walking over to a chest in the corner opening it, and peering inside, shrugging she stood back up.
Nodding the two Phoebes wandered the attic closing their eyes with their hands on various objects trying to find a clue to as to where the amulet could be.
Both of the Paiges ran into each other as they turned to go different directions, laughing they moved and walked over to assist their sisters.
The Pipers who were left standing looked each other up and down, looking for any differences.
"So how many years into the future exactly are we?" Piper asked, curiously thinking if it was a lot she aged well.
"What year is it where you're from?" Future Piper asked. "It's 2003."
"I guess it has been ten years because it's 2013." She replied, remembering back to 2003, when Wyatt was born.
"Where's Leo?"
"You have a lot of questions don't you?" Future Piper said rhetorically to herself laughing, causing some of her curls to fall into her face. She pulled a bobby pin out of her pocket and put it in her hair holding it in place, "Leo's out and about you know taking care of charges and what not." She said knowing that she must obviously be from a time before Leo became an elder, but he eventually did come back.
"Hey I've just gotten something off of this!" Phoebe shouted excitedly, opening the top of a chest that was hidden behind a large mirror that had belonged to their Grams.
"Let me have a look." Future Phoebe said motioning for the other to move out of the way. She bent down and placed her palm against the open top, waiting for the vision. Suddenly, her short hair flew back and she was flung into the vision. Standing in the same room as them she watched the three younger charmed ones taking it out of that very chest, and all placing one hand upon the amulet and holding it up against the woman demon, causing her to ignite into flames and turn into ashes that disappeared. She opened her eyes and smiled, "It's definitely in here, I guess all you guys have to do is hold it and try to channel your power through it and you'll vanquish the demon."
"Great!" Piper said looking down in then taking it out, "Wow it's beautiful."
"Yeah well I guess this family really knows how to make a good amulet." Paige said happily touching it while Piper still held onto it.
"Wow look at that blue, it's like the sky." Phoebe said touching the gem, once those three had all touched it at the same time; they turned into balls of white light and were flung out of that time back into their own.
"Do you want to hold it?" Piper asked turning around smiling expecting to see her future self, only seeing an empty attic.
"Well apparently that answers the question of how to get back home doesn't it." Paige said.
"I guess so, and you know I wanted to spend some time with ourselves." Phoebe said wistfully.
Just then Leo orbed back in and looked at the amulet in Piper's hand, "What's that?" He asked squinting with his eyebrows them raising them questioningly.
"It's what we use to defeat the demon."
"Right, and where did it come from?" He asked still slightly confused.
"It came from the future." Paige responded for her sister, leaving Leo still very confused but he decided it was best that he didn't ask questions.
"So I guess we summon the demon here, and then vanquish?" Phoebe asked them.
"It sounds good to me." Piper responded to her sister.
Quickly there was a flash of dark lights and what sounded like thunder she appeared, "I don't think there will be any of you pesky witches." She said laughing manically.
"Wanna bet on that." Piper said holding out the amulet so her sisters could grasp it. Closing their eyes they did just that and began to focus on their power. Piper focused on freezing, Phoebe focused on calling a premonition, and Paige focused on calling an object.
The amulet began to glow and the demon eyed it suspiciously, not knowing what exactly what was going on. The four element colored gems began to spin and the sisters powers extended out through it going right through the demon, setting her aflame.
Opening one eye Phoebe let go and smiled, "We changed the future."
"Again." Piper added.
"Um, yeah again." Paige said slightly confused, not knowing the story of when they had changed the future by not using magic for personal gain.
