Back in the future. But 3 years further than last time!!

Prue: Piper, I'm home

Piper: Take that you creep, you hurt my kid and I swear I will knock you're block off!! (blows up the demon) Hey Prue

Prue: Wow, someone is getting a little déjà vu here! (points to herself)

Piper: Yep, well, that dude Belthazor was after Wyatt.

Prue: No kidding, there's someone after Wyatt or Shannon everyday.

Piper: (whines) But whyyyy?

Prue: Well, because Wyatt is half witch, half whitelighter, and Shannon is half witch and half....fearless.

Piper: You were gonna say Demon weren'tcha? (smiles)

Prue: Well I was, but then I remembered that her parents have been divorced for the past three years, and her father is no longer a demon, but someone who kills demons with his bare hands. So that would make her half fearless.

Piper: God, everything has logic behind it!! Which means Math, which means that, drumroll please, I have to be good at it!!!

Prue: (bites her apple) Well, drumroll please, that's logic, right there, what you just said, it's obvious, and logical. So you don't suck that much.

Piper: Gee, pay your little sister a compliment one of these days.

Prue: (giggles and sticks her tongue out) Work was so, full of work today!!

Piper: Logic again.

Shannon: (offscreen) Hey Piper, can you help me with this math homework please?!! It's hard!!

Piper: (sighs) Shannon sweety, ask your Aunt Prue, she's the one with the brains, I'm just the bartender and chef.

Prue: The perfect wife. (smiles sweetly)

Piper: Yeah, I am, I know. Now go be a good Aunt because you are crap at the good Big Sister role.

Prue: (bites her apple) Coming Shannon!!!!

Piper: I do still want my eardrum Prue!!! (scowls)

Prue: Ok, as soon as I've sorted out this homework, we are going to talk because you are cranky today, you're never cranky.

Piper: No, I'm fine (Prue glares and Piper sighs) We'll talk.

Prue: Thankyou. (runs out)

(Paige is sat on the floor of the conservatory crying)

Prue: Piper, go in the conservatory while I sort out Shannon!!!

Piper: On my way!! (runs into the conservatory) Oh no, what is it Paige?

Paige: I, I, broke up with Justin yesterday, he, he was cheating on me with this little lapdancer of a girl.

Piper: Oh sweety (hugs her)

Paige: It was so humiliating, he told me to meet him at this restaurant, and as I walked through the door, I saw this teeny little high school senior sat on his lap.

Piper: A high school senior?! Are you sure?

Paige: Yeah, she was in a cheerleading uniform, she didn't look like a teenager, but she was.

Piper: Oh my god, did you tell him that you saw that?

Paige: No, I was embarassed, I just told him that I couldn't see it working because I had a job to concentrate on and family commitments.

Piper: Really Paige, I'm so sorry (hugs her)

Paige: It's ok, I just think...I really did like him.

Piper: I know, but if he's going to pass you up for a preppy cheerleader, then he's not worth it.

Paige: (giggles a little) We were preppy cheerleaders once. And we're Martial Arts Graduates and Dance School graduates, we must have been just like her.

Piper: Hey, you shoulda pulled a couple Hyu Kung kicks on him.

Paige: And find myself on the front of the tabloids for harassing a star? No thanks

Piper: He's hardly a star these days, just a thirty year old man who goes after kids.

Paige: Thanks (smiles) I'm going to go out for a walk, I could use the air. Want anything from the store?

Piper: No, you go and think and I'll get dinner on, as always.

Paige: (hugs her) You are such a good sister.

AT PHOEBE'S OFFICE

Elise: (knocks on Phoebe's office door) Phoebe? Phoebe are you in there?

Phoebe: (asleep at her desk) Huh, what? Oh!! (walks to the door) Sorry, I was concentrating, come in Elise.

Elise: Thank you, listen Phoebe, I have been very patient with you, but now I really need this column done. I'm not going to lie, you have benefited the paper immensely, but I don't know if I can go on with having you disappear for Family Issues twice every day. What could possibly need your attention that badly?

Phoebe: Do you have sisters?

Elise: One

Phoebe: 'nuff said (smiles)

Elise: I...I don't understand.

Phoebe: I have three sisters, a brother-in-law, a toddler nephew, a baby nephew and a daughter, all in one house. My life is hectic beyond belief 24/7. I have no choice but to juggle work, family and my nightjob.

Elise: You have a nightjob?

Phoebe: Me and my sisters own P4, the club downtown.

Elise: Well, if you can get this column into me by tonight and it's good.....up to your usual standard, I won't even consider switching you to Assistant Columnist, but you have to know, it's difficult with this arrangement.

Phoebe: (rolls her eyes as Elise walks off) Believe me, I know, and I don't like it half as much as you do (shuts the door) Uh, I'm so tired!! (rests her head on her table)

UNDERGROUND

Source: (With his hood up) Ommmmmmm Ahhhhcheeee, Cheedo Adiento La Mandayyyyyy. Crees Da Le Mier Titchi Mankinyes

Demon: Excuse me sir

Source: Creesdamus, never, ever come upon me like that, I was in the middle of an incantation!!

Demon: S...s...sorry sir, but I just wanted to tell you that I've searched everywhere in the house, I couldn't get the youngest Charmed girl, but I was close to getting the boy, when one of the sisters caught me.

Source: I don't want the boys!!! I want the girl.

Demon: O...ok, well, I'll just try again.

Source: (takes down his hood) Yes you will, because if I don't get my daughter back by her sixth birthday, she will have full control of her powers and I will never be able to turn her evil.

Demon: My, my Belthazor, you really have changed.

Source: Yes, I thought that was obvious when my name changed from Belthazor to The Source. Now get back to work and leave me to track her down. (puts his hood back up)

AT THE HOUSE

(in the attic)

Piper: Now, it's just us two, but I've looked in the book and I can't find any demons resembling the one that attacked Wyatt.

Prue: Piper, slow down.

Piper: (walks across the attic) So, I've decided to summon Grams and see if she can tell us anything. I can't get in contact with Leo, he must be in a meeting or hunting down there (stamps the floor) or something.

Prue: Piper!!!

Piper: (spins round) What?!?!

Prue: Listen to me, I want to know what is going on with you.

Piper: What? Nothing is wrong with me.

Prue: Hey, I know you. You always do concentrate on the club and demonhunting but now you're just acting differently. You're throwing yourself into your work and not thinking about the effect it's having on you. It's gonna catch up with you and you'll just shut down.

Piper: I just... (sighs) I feel so distant from Leo. He's my husband, we should be able to spend time together, but he's always doing his thing and I'm doing mine. And when we finally get time, a damn demon attacks and he's taking the kids up 'where it's safe'!!!

Prue: Ok, honey, breathe.

Piper: (breathes) Sorry

Prue: No, it's ok, I'm glad you're finally telling me, carry on.

Piper: I just, I don't know. Ever since Phoebe and Cole divorced and he went all evil, evil demon on us, we haven't had any alone time. It's as if Cole's sending everyone after us because he has unfinished business.

Prue: (clicks her fingers) That's it!!!

Piper: (confused) What's it?

Prue: He's sending demons after us to try and get Shannon!!

Piper: Hang on, the only person who can send Demons after us is.......

Prue: The Source.

Piper:Ah!!! (runs to the book and places her hand over it) The Source please, Grams (pages flick) Saviour!!!

Prue: Ok, look. The Source is the ruler of the Underworld and can create mayhem with one flick of his wrist. He can order Demon's to do whatever he wants and can spy on his victims by closing his eyes and saying an incantation. Any of his demons that are hurt in the process do not die but merely go back to the Underworld and try again unless vanquished by a Power of Four spell that has so much Power it kills the demon from the inside. Once all demons sent on this mission are killed, the Source will only then die!!

Piper: Oh no!!

Prue: That means that the demon you 'vanquished' is not only still alive, but he's after Shannon, not Wyatt!! He must want to turn her evil! And look, at the bottom of the page. Children can be turned from good to evil at any time before their sixth birthdays, after that, they are permanently good witches and can only be evil for a short time if put under a spell!!

Piper: (thinks) He must want to capture Shannon before her sixth birthday and turn her evil!!

Prue: Yup, probably

Piper: But why only take one when he can take three?!? That's what I don't understand, he has two nephews here, why not just take them too?

Prue: Because he just wants to get back at Phoebe for the divorce, that's all I can think of at the moment.

Piper: We need to call Phoebe and Paige and get them home. We can't do this without them. (dials a number) Paige's cellphone is on. I can hear her talking.

Prue: Ok, shout and see if she hears you.

Piper: Paige!! Nope. She sounds upset.

Justin: Please, Paige, that was stupid, I shouldn't have done it. Please just don't leave me.

Paige: Justin, I really liked you, but like I said, I have a lot of commitments right now.

Justin: I know, but the reason you're splitting up with me is because of what you saw.

Paige: Ok, I'll admit, it put the icing on the cake, but these feelings go way back. I just don't see how I can be in a relationship with someone who tours the country while I have two jobs to concentrate on and I have a family to be with. (starts to leave)

Justin: Please!!! Paige, I love you.

Paige: What?! (turns back around) Come any closer and I'll throw you so hard against that wall!! Now, what did you say?!?!

Justin: I...I said I love you.

Paige: Oh no no no, that won't work on me. You don't just run around the country with your band, see me once a month and on the one night we see each other, have some teenyboppen cheerleader by your side and expect me to take your crap.

Justin: It's true.

Paige: Oh yeah? then why did you wait until now to tell me!?!?!

Justin: I don't know. I didn't want things to move too fast.

Paige: I've seen postmen weighted down with packages that have moved faster, you're slow, slower than what I'm used to.

Justin: I've seen that, you're forgetting, I've seen your past, I've lived it.

Paige: I know, so you should know what kind of guys I get into, and you should also know that this isn't me. Being in this long-term, long- distance relationship isn't me, and never will be. Goodbye Justin, and good luck (walks out and he looks upset)

Music plays:

Cuz, when it's over let it go and, come tomorrow it will seem so yesterday, so yesterday, I'm just a bird that's already flown away. Laugh it off and let it go and, when you wake up it will seem so yesterday, so yesterday, haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay. Hilary Duff-So Yesterday

(Paige orbs into the attic and walks into Piper's arms)

Piper: (hugs her tight) Hey it's ok. Come on (strokes her hair)

Prue: We're here for you Paige (joins in the hug)

Phoebe: (walks in crying) I....I got fired. (walks over and hugs)

Piper: I'm sorry (sees her sisters crying which makes her cry) Now I'm crying

Prue: No, I'm gonna start, thanks Piper (tears come out of her eyes)

(they all hug tightly, crying)

To be continued................

I know that all of this is one story, but the next chapter will lead directly from the last scene. So it'll be like a two-part chapter. I hope that's ok, but it seemed to me that if you can visualise my story, like I can, then seeing them all hugging and a little upset, comforting each other, is a good scene to end on. By the way, I'm seriously beginning to get stuck for ideas, but I'm a little impressed with what I've done so far. I really would like some ideas, even if it's a demon that's after them for a certain reason. Anything you guys can come up with would be helpful.

R&R please!!! I might start up another story soon so keep a look out!!
