A/N: This part features Natalie at her personal best. It's long, I know but worth the read. As always, thanks for the reviews. I so happy to have nearly 50!. I appreciate every single one of them! Not to worry, I do not intend to make Prue suffer forever.

White Lighter Area

Natalie's nose pushed upward as she paced herself to stay one step ahead of Leo, "I have nothing to say to you, Leo. I was just following orders". The two white lighters entered a hospital like corridor, and Leo paused to open a door for Natalie. "Orders whose orders?"

"Who do you think?" Natalie retorted.

Leo latched onto Natalie's arm and spun her around, "The Elders wanted this to happen?".

"No of course not. They wanted your charges and their Mother to follow the personal gain rule!" Natalie snatched her arm away, "But since that didn't happen, we all have to suffer the consequences, myself included!"

Leo gave her a doubtful look, "And just how are you suffering Natalie? It looked like to me that you were practically gloating when you'd found out that Prue and Andy had-" His words were cut short by her rebuttle and need to be in charge.

"Just like you, I love my charges, Leo. I just don't let them break the rules" She turned away from her him and focused her attention on Andy" Now if your done whining, I have to heal to my charge"

Leo looked over Natalie's shoulder to see her elevating an unconscious Andy several inches from a marble slab. A glowing wand appeared in her hands and she began to run it over the length of his body. "What are you doing?" Leo asked stepping up to her side. "I'm restoring his essential memory" Natalie replied, refusing to make eye contact, "and before you ask, essential doesn't include Prue"

Storm clouds formed on Leo's brow. He was outraged; "You can't take Prue out of his memory. She is part of who he is...who he was"

"I've already cleared it with the Elders, it was their idea in fact," Natalie refuted as the wand disappeared. She then circled around so that she was standing at the head of the slab. Gently she placed her two forefingers on either side of Andy's temples.

Leo leaned over talking to the side of her face, "But this isn't right. Andy needs to know who he loved and how he died"

'He'll remember how he died," Natalie said waving a hand over Andy's face and keeping a close watch as a blue ring began to illuminate about his head. "He'll know, that he died protecting three witches from demon who was posing a police inspector the only difference will be that he'll remember the love of his life to be his ex-wife, Susan", not Prue. He won't ever remember running into her again after he left for college."

"That isn't right!" Leo fumed forming clenched fists.

"It's just a small technicality," Natalie defended. " He did love Susan at one time. It just wasn't his destiny to be with her"

Leo gritted his teeth, "Because his destiny is with Prue!"

"He's not going to remember anything about Prue other than the fact that she is a Charmed One and that his parents once knew her family when they lived on Prescott Street". The ring around Andy's head disappeared and Natalie wiped her hands together, "now if you'll excuse me, my charge is just about to wake up". Leo took a step back as Andy's body floated back down onto the slab.

"Andy" Natalie called softly. Andy's eyes opened at the sound of his name and he sat up. "Andy how do you feel?"

"What happened?" he asked groggy and rubbing at his temple.

"You don't remember?" Leo couldn't help but ask causing Natalie to give him a steely glare. No of course he didn't remember.

"Who are you?" Andy looked to Natalie confused.

"This is Leo" Natalie explained, "he's a white lighter like me"

"I was there when you were attacked, along with Prue" Leo replied smartly.

Andy's brow furrowed, "Who's Prue?"

"Prue Halliwell, she's a witch," Natalie explained. Her mother cast a spell to get you to enter in a forbidden union"

Andy shook his head, "But why?"

"Because she has no regard for the greater good, she only cares about her own personal gain"

"That's not True!" Leo blistered softly. He pulled Natalie away from Andy to the other side of the room as two Elders approached. Leo waited until they had gone before confronting Natalie.

"You just lied to your charge!"

"I did not" Natalie scoffed, "name one part of what I said that wasn't the truth"

"Prue didn't lure him. He married her, freely"

"He was lured back to her by Patty's spell," Natalie retorted stiffly, "What matters is that the greater good has been restored, and the Elders agree with me"

"She is right Leo" A wise looking Elder said, "As you well know sometimes things must be sacrificed to preserve destiny and to do that we cannot allow anymore forbidden unions such as yours to occur. It would upset the balance"

"Into what? Our favor?" In Leo's opinion having another magical being in the family who served the greater good could only make the Charmed Ones stronger.

"There is yet another destiny to be fulfilled. This union would keep it from occurring." The Elder replied sternly.

"Whose?" Leo challenged, causing the Elders kind eyes to narrow.

"That will all be revealed to you in time. Now it is time for you to return to your charges." Seeing that it was of no use to argue, Leo bowed his head and orbed out. Prue, Piper and Phoebe were all anxiously awaiting for him when he returned to the manor.

"Did you find Andy? Is he all right?" The words of concern couldn't tumble out Prue's mouth fast enough. Leo adverted his eyes, shoving his hands into his back pockets. "He's fine" he answered distantly, causing Piper to raise an eyebrow.

"But-"

"He doesn't remember anything about Prue. Natalie erased his memory"

"No, she didn't. She's a white lighter. Would she really do that to one of own charges? " Phoebe's eyes widen in disbelief.

Leo nodded sadly, "she's believes that she is protecting the greater good"

"Andy would never forget me, ever," Prue vowed bitterly, turning her back. Leo followed her as she took the stairs to the attic two at time. "Prue wait!" He caught her by the arm, "Prue wait, don't do anything that you'll regret later"

"The only thing, I regret is letting you heal Andy's hand" Her eyes narrowed dangerously and pulled away, spouting the words to a spell.

"Magic forces black and white. Reaching out through space and light. Be he far or be he near, bring me, the Tracer Andy here!". A swirl of orbs appeared and Prue's heart started to pound fearfully. Her first urge was to jump straight into Andy's arms but the look on his face told her not too. Leo stood back near the door, where Piper and Phoebe joined him.

"What just happened?" Phoebe asked softly.

"Why have you summoned me here?" Andy asked.

Prue took in deep breath for courage, "do you know who I am?" She saw Andy's eyes shift back and forth, "you're, Prue Halliwell, A Charmed Witch"

"I'm your wife!" Prue choked fight back sobs, "we were married last night"

He was married? To a Charmed One? Andy felt an uncomfortable presence surround him, "I'm sorry, that I know of I've never met you, other than on the day I died" A flash of himself rushing into the manor appeared in his mind, along with the sensation of being struck with an energy ball."

"No Andy, you know me, you. We're in love, we always have been"

"The only person, I've been in love with was my mortal wife, Susan"

"No" Prue shook her head, stepping towards him, "your white lighter, Natalie she did something to your memory. You love me," she pleaded.

"Natalie?" Andy scoffed taking a step back as Prue neared. "She would never hurt me, White Lighters don't do that to their charges"

"Yours did but I can make you remember" If she had to write a spell, that made her eat bat guano she would make him remember. Andy swallowed nervous, as something shone in her eyes; something good, and sincere. Prue stepped forward and he stepped back in caution. "Don't touch me"

"Just let me try something," she whispered. She touched the side of his face and frowned thoughtfully. Prue latched onto the lapels of his jacket and drew him into a passionate kiss. She felt Andy stiffen at first and then relax until a vision popped into his head. They were sitting together on a swing, fog surrounding them. Words were echoing in his brain, I'll always be there for you Prue"

Startled, Andy pulled out of the kiss, and called for his white lighter, "Nat! Natalie!"

"Prue is telling the truth! "Phoebe interjected "Don't call for Natalie", " Before Andy could take it back another swirl of orbs appeared and Natalie materialized, "Andy leave now" she ordered earning Prue's fury.

"NO!" Prue pulled her arm across her body sending Natalie straight out the stained glass windows. Bits of glass shattered and the white lighter screamed, as her body fall towards the ground. Turning back, Prue's eyes widened to see Andy's crossbow pointed right at her. "Good Witches don't hurt White Lighters!" An arrow fired and she dropped to the floor, omitting the red flash of her Astral projection to the other side of the room. The arrow struck the wall and disengaged.

"Andy Please you have to remember, "Tears streaked Astral Prue's face, as Natalie reappeared unscathed, "Orb now, or she'll vanquish you" she told her charge.

"But..." he started to argue. Something in Prue's voice tugged at his heart.

"I'll be fine, Go!" Obeying Andy disappeared into a white light and Prue returned to her body.

"I'll show you vanquish!"

"PRUE DON'T!" The thundering sound of Leo's voice fell upon deaf ears, as Prue reared her arm back once again forcing all of her anger to into one mighty thrust. "Ah!" Nothing happened.

"Nothing happened" Phoebe commented shocked, "why didn't anything happen?"

"Your powers are gone" Natalie replied coldly, looking to Leo, "I'm sorry Leo there is nothing I can do to fix this". Leo said nothing as Natalie Orbed out, leaving Prue to stare in disbelieve, "I don't understand" she muttered looking at her hands."

"You've been stripped of your powers. As soon as you used them on Natalie, the Elders took them away. You can't use your powers against the greater good"

"The Greater Good?" Phoebe's brow thundered, "What about what Natalie did to Andy?"

"Leo hung his head, I'm not saying that what Natalie did was right, but her intentions were to protect the greater good. Prue's weren't"

"What about our powers?" Phoebe asked, making Leo shrug. She then picked up a drinking glass and tossed it in the air for Piper's benefit. "Freeze this". Piper flicked her wrists. Nothing happened and the glass fell the floor.

"Oh My God, the book! Look at the Book!" Piper shuddered watching as the triqueta symbol on the cover of the BOS, separated. "The Power of Three is broken"
