A/N: Doesn't the "Beauty And The Beast" story just fit perfectly with Phoebe and Cole's relationship? I mean Cole has the beast (Balthezor) within him, like the Beast in that story and Phoebe turned him good and kept the beast away. Okay, okay, I'll stop yammering. BTW, I just realized that this story has 199 reviews! OMGoddess! I feel so happy! :-D

Together Forever As One
Chapter 30: Phoebe And The Beast

Phiona stood by one of the attic walls. She poked it and then sniffed it. "Nope, it's definitely cotton candy."

Pam looked longingly at the walls, which looked like wood, but felt and smelt like cotton candy. "Peas?" She asked.

"One, we won't eat the wall. Two, we aren't turning it into 'peas'." Pearl grumbled.

"Come on Pearl, you changed them in the first place, I know you can change 'em back." Phiona said. Her fingers twitched; she wanted to taste the walls too.

"Just one itsy bitsy taste? Pwetty peas?" Pam begged.

"Gross!" Pearl blurted out. "Do you know how many demons have been vanquished in here? How much demon guts and goo and stuff is caked into these walls?"

Pam looked puzzled. "I thought they was cotton candy, not cake.."

Phiona tried to hide a laugh. "They are cotton candy."

"But Pearl said they was 'caked'...I'm confuwsed." Pam said, with a blink of her eyes.

Pandora wiggled in Pearl's arms and let out a small noise.

Pam waved her hand over her nose. "Ewww!"

Phiona, who was on the other side of the room, pinched her nose. "Looks like somebody needs a diaper change."

Pearl wrinkled her nose.

Phiona and Pam looked at Pearl.

"What?" Pearl asked.

"You're the oldest." Phiona said.

"But I...." Pearl began.

"I'll get da diapers!" Pam announced, then shimmered out.

"And I'll get the wipes and baby powder!" Phiona said, as she dashed out of the attic door.

----10 Minutes Later----

Pearl, Phiona, and Pam were sitting on the kitchen floor in front of Pandora. Each had their nose plugged.

"If I do this, you two get to take care of the attic." Pearl mumbled.

"Deal!" Phiona and Pam said, immediately.

"No take backs!" Pam added.

Pearl moaned. "I wish I had mom's power right now." She pulled the diaper off Pandora and rolled it up. She held out her hand and a glowing ball of white light appeared in her palm.

"No!" Phiona yelled, as she pulled Pearl's arm back. "Don't, it would be a baaaaaaad idea!"

Pearl held her breath and the white ball of light vanished.

Phiona waved her hand and sent orbs swirling around the diaper and it floated to the center of the kitchen. "Pam, go get the Diaper Genie."

Pam shimmered out and moments later she shimmered in, next to the floating diaper, with her arms wrapped around a large white bin. She quickly shimmered next to her cousins again.

Phiona waved her hand and the orbs directed the dirty diaper into the Diaper Genie.

Pearl grabbed a handful of baby wipes and cleaned up Pandora, then put way too much baby powder into the fresh diaper.

"I think that's too much." Phiona said, as she used her power to direct the dirty wipes into the Diaper Genie.

"She needs it!" Pearl said, as she put the new diaper onto her baby cousin. She glanced at Pam. "Go put that back in Aunt Prue's room, will ya?"

Pam wrinkled her nose. "I guess..." She said. She walked over to the Diaper Genie, held her breath, grabbed the Diaper Genie, and then shimmered out with it.

Pearl and Phiona exchanged glances.

Pandora giggled.

"I am not doing that again! We have to find mom and everyone else!" Pearl said. She picked up Pandora and handed her to Phiona. "Take Pandora into the living room."

Pam shimmered back in. "Pam, you're going with Phiona to the living room. Wait for me there. I'm gonna check the house..."

"What about da attic?" Pam cut in.

"Oh, right...Crud..." Pearl stood up. "Fine, follow me to the attic."

The 3 cousins walked out of the kitchen.

Phoebe opened her eyes and found herself in a small room. She was wearing a long blue dress, with a white apron over the dress, and she had on black shoes with no heels. Her hair was pulled into a pony tail. "Where am I?" Phoebe asked out loud, as she sat up. "Prue? Piper? Paige?" Phoebe called. She hopped off the bed and inspected the room. "What the...." Phoebe muttered. She rubbed her eyes. "Pearl? Phiona? Pam?" She called. She looked up at the ceiling. "Leo!" Phoebe yelled. She waited, but there was no answer. "What the hell?" Phoebe snapped. She began to involuntarily tap her foot on the floor. "Cole?! Glenn?! Everyone, this is not funny!" Phoebe yelled. She heard a loud squeak and whirled around. Finally, someone! Phoebe thought.

A large dresser waddled into the room, a huge smile upon the dresser's face. "Hello Miss! Please, you have dinner awaiting you! Pick some clothing from me." She sang out.

Phoebe stood frozen in shock. "Wh..what the hell is going on?!" Phoebe gasped.

The dresser chuckled. "Come now, you must get ready for dinner! The Master is waiting!" The dresser urged, as her doors swung open, revealing a large selection of beautiful gowns.

"You must have the wrong person, I'm not even sure what I'm doing here!" Phoebe stammered. She stepped back a few steps.

"You're Bell, right? You look like her, I know I checked on you earlier, and you were sleeping." The dresser replied.

Bell? Phoebe thought. "Bell? Like, from 'Beauty And The Beast'? No, I just dressed up as 'Bell' for Halloween! I'm not her, really!" Phoebe replied. Suddenly she realized that she wasn't wearing her costume. Her mouth dropped open. And that dresser is really talking to me! Phoebe thought. Phoebe jumped into the air, trying to levitate. And my powers are gone! Phoebe thought. "No way, I can't be inside, 'Beauty And The Beast'!" Phoebe choked.
