Vicki: YES!
Kelly: LET'S GIVE HER A TASTE OF HER OWN PYROMANAIC MEDICINE!
Prue: Well, now, let's all calm down and think rationally—
Lauren: NO! I'M TIRED OF HER WALKING ALL OVER US AND USING UP OUR POWERS! I CAN BARELY ORB NOW, THANKS TO HER!
Piper (Karoline): That is so mean! I can't believe she's using y'all like that!
Prue: Don't take their side!
Piper (Karoline): Why NOT?! She's using them!I know what that feels like.
Larissa: (in the background) JOIN US! HELP TEACH HER A LESSON!
Karoline: You never told us about being "used," Aunt Piper.
Piper (Karoline): Wellso, what's the plan?
Amanda: I propose we attack from all sides and—
Prue: STOP! We are not going to attack, we are going to be rational. You all justwait, while we sort this all out.
Lindsay: Not fair!
Emily: We're getting out of this prison right now! You can't—
Voice from upstairs: HELLO? ANYONE IN HERE?
Larissa: Hey! Mom! Down here!
Julia: Then who is that? *points to Piper(Karoline)*
Piper: Uhhhi? I'm—
Lauren: DEMON! *orbs Kathryn's knife from the shelf* DIE DEMON! Stabs
Prue: Wha
Karoline: Hey, Lauren. You used alliteration!
Lauren: Fun! I protected the innocent AND my LA grade!
Amanda: Let's go discuss our plan of attack!
Vicki: Okay! *Climbs out the hole* Hi Aunt Piper. See ya later!
Piper: Out of captivity, I guess?
Julia: Yep! Now we're going to plot our revenge!
Piper: *skeptically* Sure ya areHave any of you seen Prue?
Kelly: Yep. She's down the hole, the last demon vanquish was a bit bloody.
Piper: Okay, thanks. *jumps down the hole* Hey Prue!
Prue: I
Piper: Uhhyeah. There was a demon?
Prue: No.
Piper: Kelly said there was.
Prue: There wasn't.
Piper: Then what amdoing on the floor in a pool of blood?
Prue: Not a demon.
Piper: Could you give me a LITTLE more information, Prue?
Prue: *nods, then softly reads spell*
Piper: OmigodLEO! LEO! LEO! LEO! LEO! LEO! LE—
Leo: *orbs in* What?
Piper: *points*
Leo: *runs over and tries to heal* She's almost dead. I can't heal her. She'sg-one.
Prue: THIS IS MY DAUGHTER, NOT AN ACTION ITEM! WHY CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING? WHY COULDN'T I HAVE DONE SOMETHING? WHY DID IT HAVE TO HAPPEN?!
*other parents orb in*
Phoebe: What's up?
Paige: I don't think "what's up?" is an appropriate greeting for this situation, Pheebs.
Phoebe: *spots body on floor* Ohis shedead?
Leo: Yes.
Paige: Noshe can't be
Cole: Wait! This is an alternate reality. Anything Kathryn REALLY wants can happen. She can have enough power to resurrect the dead.
Steve: She has that much power?
Cole: Yes. And if she uses her strength to save her sister all things will return to normal.
Andy: Just in this reality, or in all of them?
Cole: That burst of power may be enough to release all the Halliwells from their worlds.
Prue: Then it all comes down to Kat's priorities?
Leo: Sounds like it. Well, we need to get Karoline's spirit out of her body before it fades away.
Paige: That we can do. *improvises a spell*
Karoline's spirit ghost thingy: I died? Creepy.
Prue: You're a ghost, hun.
Karoline's ghost: *looks down* Cool! I can walk through walls!We can fix this whole "I'm dead" thing, right?
Prue: Yes, we hope so. We need you to convince Kathryn to use her powers to save you and herself before your sister and cousins carry out their plan for revenge.
Karoline: Doesn't sound too hard, I guess. Meet you up there-gotta go through the walls! Yehee!
Paige: She seems to be adjusting to death all right.
*Upstairs, later*
Karoline's ghost: Hey Kat!
Kathryn: Why don't you go join the others and make a pitiful plot against me?
Karoline's ghost: Because I'm dead.
Kathryn: And
Karoline's ghost" And you're the only one who can save me.
Kathryn: Why should I?
Karoline's ghost: Because we're family and families stick together and help each other.
Kathryn: What has this family ever done for me?
Karoline's ghost: We gave you someone to play with on rainy days and someone to play instruments, someone to talk to. You broke away from it when you stopped treating us as equals. You can get it all back. It can be just like old times, Xalers.
Kathryn: You haven't called me Xalers since I was five.
Karoline's ghost: Well, you haven't talked to me like a human being-- and your sister-- since then, though.
Kathryn: What happened that year?
Karoline's ghost: *smiles (can ghosts smile?)* I don't even remember.
Kathryn: I do. I remember it like it was yesterday...
*flashback, Kathryn's POV*
We had all just gotten back from school-- I was in kindergarten. Everyone had something to show their parents except me. Julia, Lauren, you, Larissa, Emily, and Lindsay all had 100% on tests. Kelly and Amanda had these great stories, and Vicki had an awesome picture. All I had to show was a note from the teacher saying that I was being mean to a kid in my class.
After five years of not being able to do anything better than you guys I had had enough. I concentrated all my power on being better than you-- you were always less powerful than Kelly-- and I felt myself slowly getting stronger. In a few days you started to notice that you couldn't kick a soccer ball bery far, your grades were slipping, and your freezes only lasted a few seconds. Meanwhile I was becoming the star of the family.
I now had enough power to start draining Lindsay and Larissa. I moved up and up in the family heirarchy untilI could get power from Julia. It was my sixth birthday when you guys stopped speaking to me at all.
So I fell back onto all the magic I had stored up. I tortured people for fun. It let some of the hate and loneliness out. I've been doing it ever since.
