Disclaimer: I own no one. All characters are from the television show "Charmed", I'm writing for fun, and not for profit.
Authors note: I'm surprised I got this chapter out. I'm babysitting today, but I told myself yesterday that I'd update. So, I set five year old Christopher down in front of the n64, and gave five and a half month old Logan to my sister. So, here's Chapter 13, enjoy. Keep reviewing! :)
Title: Sister Switch Off

Chapter Thirteen - Evidence Erased
"Here's the spell." Paige handed a piece of paper to Piper. The older sister read over the words and smiled.
"Uh, Paige, it's kind of- rhymie."
"Is that good or bad?" Dan asked.
"It's gets the point across, at least." Phoebe said, who read over Piper's shoulder. "It is kind of rhymie though."
Paige shrugged, "I was in a rhyming mood." She smiled and kissed Wyatt's head, whom Dan was holding.
"Are we ready?" Piper asked.
"Spell?"
"Check." Paige held up her paper to Phoebe. "Address?" She looked at Piper.
"Check. Diaper bag?"
"Check. Baby?" Dan smiled at the middle sister.
"Check. We're ready."

Paige, Dan, and Wyatt sat in the backseat of Dan's vehicle. Paige looked down at Wyatt, who started to fuss.
"Hey little man, whassamatter?" She looked up at Phoebe who was sitting in the front passenger seat. "Did you pack a binky in his diaper bag?"
"Yeah. Look in the side pocket."
Dan smiled at Paige, "I'll get it."
He reached at his feet and pulled the blue bag to his lap. Dan dug in the pocket until he found the small pacifier. Before Wyatt could let out a loud wail, Dan put the nipple in the baby's mouth.
"You know what I don't understand?" Piper asked. "Why her? And why didn't the demon shimmer. You know that's what we've got to do next; vanquish the demon that did this."
"It's good that he didn't shimmer though, right?" Dan said. "If he would have, you guys would have a hard time covering that up."
"True."
"Do you think the spell is going to work?" Phoebe asked.
"I hope so. If it doesn't, we're going to have to make some sort of deal or something with the guy." Piper replied.
"Do you think it'll work too well?" Dan spoke. "What about me?"
"Damnit, you're right. Give me your copies of the spell."
Phoebe passed the papers back to her sister. Paige pulled out a pen from her purse and began to write.
"Okay, all fixed."
"What'd you put?" Dan asked.
"All but one man, exclude our Dan." The four laughed.
"Oh, that's the house." Piper pulled into the driveway.
After Piper parked the car, the three sisters got out. Piper leaned on Dan's window and sighed.
"Please, do not get out of the car. Don't heal. At all. When we get home, you and I will have a long talk about your powers and why you shouldn't use them." She pushed her hair behind her ear. "If we aren't back in twenty, call for Leo. Trust me, he'll come. I got on to him this morning for not coming when I called."
Dan nodded, "okay. Be careful." Piper stood up straight and Paige leaned down to kiss Dan quickly.
"Be right back." Dan smiled softly.
"You better."

Phoebe was the one who rang the doorbell. They heard the footsteps toward the door, and waited for it to open.
All three of the women were nervous; they hoped the spell would work, and that this wouldn't end like it did three years before. Of course, this was different. They weren't filmed vanquishing a demon; a demon was filmed killing a mortal.
Phoebe suddenly felt angry that they had to clean up the chaos. She knew it was for the best, but she just felt like they shouldn't have to.
The door abruptly opened, and there stood a middle-aged man, Louis Mitchell.
"If you're press, I have no comment. If you're someone telling me it's a fake, go away, I'm tired of the comments. If you're trying to sell me something, don't come back." He went to shut the door.
"Wait- can we talk to you for a moment?" Louis rolled his eyes.
"You- you're from the paper. That Phoebe chick. I told you, I have no comment."
"I'm not here for the paper. We just want to know how you feel about what you saw."
He opened the door wider and allowed them to come inside. The sister's politely thanked him, and walked in.
"Would you like something to drink?" They declined. "So, who sent you?"
"We told you, we aren't press." Paige said.
"That's not what I meant." Louis waved his hand at the sofa. "Have a seat."
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige sat down across from where Louis sat. They each fingered their copy of the spell. His eyes gazed at the papers in their hands.
"Have you come to erase my mind?" They frowned.
"What does that mean?" Piper asked, now leery of the man.
"Do you really think I'm that stupid?" Louis licked his lips and leaned forward on his elbows. "If I wanted, I could have really ruined your lives. I know who you are."
"Who are we?" Phoebe asked, lifting an eyebrow.
"Piper and Phoebe Halliwell, Paige Matthews." He pointed at each of them with their names. "The revised Charmed ones."
"Revised?"
"One lost, another gained."
"And how do you figure we are these so-called Charmed ones?" Piper asked.
"Again I ask, do you really think I'm that stupid. Every witch knows of you. Only a handful know you're faces."
"You're a witch?" Paige asked.
"You didn't let me finish." Louis shook a finger at her. "Every white lighter knows your faces. And that, I am."
"Then why?"
"Why what? The tape? It's my way of getting back at them."
"The Elders?" Piper asked.
"Yes."
"What did they do to you?"
"The same thing that they did to you and Leo. Only I fell for a mortal. She was injured, and they wouldn't allow me to heal her."
"Understood."
"I am upset, and I'm glad that you have come. I know I shouldn't have brought the tape to the television station. And now, I'd like to all be erased. I knew that the only ones, who could change that, would be you. I just didn't know when."
"They're going to clip your wings, you know that right?" Phoebe said.
"I'm sure they will. They may do worse than that. I've done some other things in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if they scattered my cells through outer space." Louis sighed. "So, how is your spell? That is a spell?"
"Yes. And it's very rhymie." Piper said, smiling at Paige.
"Well, do your magic. When the deed is done, I shall orb 'up there' and receive my punishment."
The women opened their papers and began to chant.
For those who've seen this fight,
Let mind rule over sight.
May the evidence erase,
With the demonic face.
This frightful fit,
All minds forget.
All but one man,
Exclude our Dan.
Exposed we are not,
All memories are forgot.
No more shall it be,
Forget what ye see.
A bright light, which no one ever noticed, flashed over the Earth. Rushing newsmen forgot why they rushed. Television anchormen forgot their words. All tapes, papers, and any other sort of evidence disappeared.
The sisters looked at Louis, and he somewhat waved as he orbed away.
