Curtis: That's fine with me.

Paige and Curtis exit the classroom.

Setting: Manor

Piper and Phoebe are having lunch when Leo orbs in.

Piper: Hey Leo.

Leo: We need to talk.

Phoebe: I guess I'll be going.

Leo: No, it's a supernatural thing.

Piper: What is going on?

Leo: There a dimension that exists called the demon dimension. Apparently when slayers die they are sent to that dimension.

Piper: What's going on there?

Leo: A disturbance in the dimension has created an opening between this world and their world. Slayers that have died can be brought back from the dead.

Phoebe: Great.

Setting: Park

Paige and Curtis are walking in the park holding hands.

Paige: I am so glad that you're my boyfriend.

Curtis: Well I'm glad to be your boyfriend.

Curtis picks Paige up and they start kissing. Suddenly the woman that appeared in the alley appears in front of Paige and Curtis. Curtis puts Paige on the ground.

Curtis: Sandra.

Sandra: That's right Curtis. You are with a charmed one.

Curtis: You're supposed to be dead.

Paige: Curtis what's going on?

Curtis: Paige orb out of there.

Paige: I can't leave you.

Curtis: Please Paige.

Paige: Be careful.

Paige gives Curtis a kiss and she orbs out.

Curtis: What the hell are you doing here?

Sandra: What we came here to do? But after you got your soul you killed me, so maybe I'm here to kill you too.

Curtis: I won't let you hurt them.

Sandra: You can't stop me.

Curtis: I killed you once don't think I won't to it again.

Sandra charges at Curtis and tries to hit Curtis with a punch to the head, but Curtis disappears. Curtis reappears behind Sandra. Curtis hits Sandra with an energy blast to the back. Sandra goes flying forward and hits the ground.

Sandra: I'll finish you off later.

Sandra disappears.

Curtis: What is another slayer doing here? I better tell Paige and the others.

Curtis disappears.

Setting: Manor

Paige orbs in.

Paige: Piper. Phoebe.

Piper and Phoebe come running downstairs.

Piper: What is it Paige?

Phoebe: Yeah. Is there something wrong?

Paige: I think something has happened to Curtis.

Piper: What is happening to Curtis? By the way where is Curtis? I thought he was walking you home.

Paige: He was until we ran into someone that he knows. I think we ran into another slayer.

Phoebe: Wait. This is weird because Leo talked about the demon dimension being in chaos.

Paige: What is this demon dimension?

Piper: It's a place where slayers that have been killed goes.

Paige: I still don't understand. What is going on around here?

Phoebe: There is an opening between our world and their world. We think that slayers that have died maybe coming over to this world.

Paige: Wait. I just remembered she knew that I'm a witch.

Piper: She has to be a slayer. She sensed that you were a witch.

Curtis appears. Paige runs to Curtis and hugs him.

Paige: You'll all right. Thank god.

Curtis: I'm okay.

Piper: Curtis, I think we need an explanation.

Curtis: You're right. That person Paige and I saw in the park today was a slayer named Sandra.

Phoebe: What do you mean by was a slayer? Curtis: I killed her in battle.

Piper: What?

Curtis: She and I were partners when we came here. We were supposed to kill your mother, but when your mother gave me a soul she knew. We fought and in the end I had to kill her.

Paige: But now she's very much alive.

Curtis: I have no idea how that's possible.

Piper: We may know how. Leo informed us that a demon dimension has opened a gap between earth and the dimension.

Curtis: Yes. The good thing is until you three are killed only one slayer can exit the demon dimension at a time.

Phoebe: If this slayer knows us then why hasn't she come after us yet?

Curtis: Just exiting out of the dimension weakens the slayer. She must not have enough strength to fight us.

Piper: But when she gets strong enough she will come after us.

Curtis: Yes.

Leo orbs in.

Leo: Curtis.

Curtis: Yeah.

Leo: The elders have told me to tell you this.

Curtis: What is it?

Leo: They are giving you a choice to keep your soul permanently, but the catch is that you will have to give up your powers as a slayer. You will be a human being.

Curtis: Really.

Leo: They are giving 24 hours to make your decision.

Curtis: Thanks.

Paige: What a choice?

Curtis: Listen I can't make a decision until Sandra is found and killed.

Piper: How do you kill someone that is already dead?

Curtis: She's not. She's alive, but if I'm correct the first thing that she'll do is find a way to take away my soul.

Piper: We can't allow her to do that.

Curtis: Thanks. Well I have to go.

Paige: Curtis.

Curtis: Paige, I don't think we should be around each other until Sandra is sent back to the demon dimension. I will fight and kill her. Trust that.

Curtis disappears.

Paige: Curtis wait. Damn it.

Piper: He is doing this because he loves you.

Paige: I know.

Phoebe: I'll check the book of shadows for something that may close this gap in dimensions.

Setting: Curtis's Apartment

Sandra: Yes.

Curtis: Let's go.

Curtis and Sandra disappear.

Setting: Manor

Paige, Piper, and Phoebe are talking about the demon dimension. Leo orbs in.

Leo: I found out a way to close the gap, but in order to seal it shut we will need a power of three spell.

Piper: We're working on that?

Leo: The way to close the gap is to kill Sandra, and Curtis will have to give up his powers to the dimension.

Curtis appears.

Curtis: I will have to give up my powers to close the gap. Well what if I don't want to close.

Paige: Curtis.

Curtis: That's right baby. I'm back.

Curtis: And it feels great to back, but I do have one thing to say.

Seer: Well you won't have to do that right now, because Curtis is in a coma and the only way for him to be in a coma.

Sandra: Is if he had not powers at all.

Paige: Okay.

Piper and Paige leave the room. Phoebe moves next to Curtis.

Phoebe: Get stronger. Paige loves you and she needs you too. Get better okay.

Setting: Ext. Curtis's Room

Paige: What is it?

Piper: Look I don't think that Curtis is the right guy for you.

Paige: You don't think he's the right guy for me. A guy that gave up his powers to save us from Sandra and possible the rest of his slayer race. A guy that loves me and will go to great lengths for me. Tell me how I cannot someone like that not be right for me.

Piper: He can turn evil and try to kill us again. He was born evil.

But my sister made me realized that the soul didn't make you do good things, but gave you that choice to be good and you chose that. So I'm sorry.

Curtis: So now what do you think of me?

Piper: A really good guy for my sister and hopefully a friend.
