Well, the ring itself was pretty Mahina supposed; at least it wasn't decorated with skulls and crossbones.... She sighed, wondering how she'd handle being evil, which she didn't think would be very well. Wyatt would probably be able to use the book within a year, as Mahina would throw herself out a window of the Manor and kill herself.

To take her mind off her impending doom, ah, marriage... Mahina asked Paige if they could go shopping; even if it was just window shopping, anything to keep them out of Halliwell Manor for the time being. Chris had promised her that he would go up to the elders with Leo, and ask them what was going on; Piper had smiled and said she'd give him a good talking to herself.

"Earth to Mahina," Paige said, waving a hand in front of Mahina's face, "earth to the Hawaiian moon goddess..." When she finally got Mahina's attention, she smiled a bit, likely knowing the train of her thoughts. "Penny for those precious thoughts of yours"

"Oh, you know," she responded, as they walked by some shops, "thinking of how I'm going to decorate my bedroom in hell, things like that." She gave Paige a weak smile before spotting a dress in a shop window. Her hand reached out to it, and she realized that her hand had gone through the window before quickly drawing it back, gasping. "That's never happened before..."

"Maybe it's a white-lighter power you've got?"

"I don't think so..." Mahina sighed, and stuck her hands in her pockets; maybe her white-lighter abilities were going haywire because she was stressed. There were other possibilities as well, such as she could already be getting powers from Wyatt via the ring. She was sure Wyatt would not want a lapsed witch-white-lighter as his wife, and Mahina could only guess what would happen when they actually went through with it. "But anyway, wanted to get my mind off magic for a day, I need normal."

Paige nodded. "Will do." They slid down a staircase banister and then she turned to Mahina again. "So, how long?"

"How long what?"

"Have you loved him?"

Mahina frowned; maybe she should have asked Pheobe instead, since that question wouldn't really need to be asked concerning that. However, she supposed she at least owed something to Paige for taking her out of the madness of the manor. Clearing her throat, she said, "Probably since I can remember us knowing each other, I guess. We were completely inseperable until our teens."

"Awww, that's so sweet..."

"Yeah, sweet. Except, the circle went like this: I liked him, he liked my sisters, my sisters liked Wyatt, and Wyatt liked me." Mahina smirked. "At least, that's how I assume the circle went. My oldest sister got over the Wyatt thing and got married, shortly before the whole takeover bit."

"That could put a damper on- hold on a second." Paige pulled her cell out of her bag and stepped a little bit away; Mahina could only hear Paige's side of course, but she got enough to understand what was going on. "Uh-huh... yeah she's right here... okay, we'll be back in a little bit."

The second Paige got back over to her, Mahina stood up, and held up her hand. "I know, we have to go back." She grabbed her bag, and started back to the car. "So, why do they need us back?"

"Wyatt's at the manor." Paige smiled sadly at her. "Look's like your time is up."
