PART ONE
INT. MANOR - ATTIC (FUTURE) - DAY
ADULT WYATT stands in the middle of the attic looking through the BOOK OF SHADOWS. He turns the pages, obviously frustrated.
ADULT WYATT: I don't see it anywhere in here.
BIANCA (off screen): Well, it has to be there.
A very alive BIANCA is looking out of the window. She faces Wyatt.
BIANCA (cont'd): You're probably just overlooking it.
ADULT WYATT: I'm not overlooking anything.
Biance says nothing. Her focus stays on what's happening on the outside.
Frustrated, adult Wyatt slams the book shut.
ADULT WYATT (cont'd): This is useless. I won't be able to bring Chris back using this book.
BIANCA: Well, we have to do something. Just look outside.
Adult Wyatt walks to the window and peers out.
Outside, half of the sky is night, while the other is day. The moon lights up the day time sky as the sun sits bright in the night. Earthquakes shake the earth, bringing down trees and homes, while three tornadoes cause the neighborhood damage. A winged boar flies by the window.
Adult Wyatt looks away and walks from the window.
ADULT WYATT: It's getting worse. I don't know how long my protection spell on the house will hold.
BIANCA: The world will never be normal again if we don't get Chris back.
ADULT WYATT: I've tried every spell imaginable. I don't know what else to do.
Bianca walks away from the window and stands near adult Wyatt.
BIANCA: Well, we can't leave the world like this. At this rate there will be nothing left by tomorrow.
She walks away from adult Wyatt to the opposite side of the attic and begins rummaging through a box.
ADULT WYATT: Do you have any suggestions?
BIANCA: As a matter of fact, I do.
She pulls out a piece of chalk and smiles.
BIANCA (cont'd): I think I might remember the spell that Chris did to allow him to back in time.
Adult Wyatt looks at her and smiles.
ADULT WYATT: I knew I wouldn't regret healing you. I couldn't afford you dying on me.
Bianca shrugs, then walks towards the wall to begin the spell.
INT. MANOR - NURSERY (PRESENT) - DAY
Piper stands completely still for short moment, then:
PIPER: (screaming) Pheobe!
She reaches into the crib and begins feeling around for Chris. She is panicked.
PIPER (cont'd): Pheobe!
Chris reappears. Piper breathes a sigh of relief and picks him up. Pheobe runs into the room.
PHEOBE: Piper, what's wrong?
PIPER: It's Chris.
Piper is still shaken. Pheobe looks at Chris, then back at Piper.
PHEOBE: What about him?
PIPER: He disappeared. Then reappeared.
PHEOBE: As in orbed?
PIPER: As in vanished.
PHEOBE: Vanished to where?
PIPER: I don't to where, Pheobe. It's not like he told me after he reappeared.
PHEOBE: What does this mean?
PIPER: I don't know.
PHEOBE: I hope this isn't another demon trying to kidnap another one of my nephews.
PIPER: I don't think that was it.
PHEOBE: Maybe Leo will know something.
PIPER: Yeah, but...
She stops, suddenly realizing that:
PIPER: (softly) Wyatt. He's gone.
CUT TO:
INT. MANOR - PIPER'S ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Piper, holding Chris close, leads the way as she and Pheobe run into the room. Wyatt is standing near the bed. When they reach him, Pheobe bends over and picks him.
PIPER: Wyatt, don't ever do that to me again.
PHEOBE: You gave your mommy quite a scare.
She examines him carefully. When satisfied that he hasn't been hurt, she looks up at Piper.
PHEOBE: He's okay.
PIPER: I am so tired of this...the worrying. I want the boys to have somewhat normal lives. But with things like this going on, I don't know if that'll be possible.
PHEOBE: Oh, honey, I know. But we'll figure something out. In the meantime, I think you need to get Leo here.
PIPER: You're right. (screams) Leo!
PHEOBE: Maybe we're worrying about nothing. It could be that Chris just has a new power.
PIPER: Leo!
Piper sits on the bed.
PIPER (cont'd): I don't think that's it either. It was different. I could tell, almost feel it, somehow...like, I was losing him.
PHEOBE: (sympathetic) Oh, Piper!
She sits down next to Piper.
PHEOBE (cont'd): You won't lose him. We already have proof of that, remember?
Piper tries to force a smile. It's a failed attempt.
PIPER: Leo!
Pheobe places Wyatt on the floor.
PIPER: I'd just feel better if Leo was here. Leo! (beat) Where the hell is he?
EXT. GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE - TOWER - DAY
LEO stands with his eyes closed. He looks relaxed and calm.
PIPER (voice over): (echoed) Leo!
Leo opens his eyes and looks in the direction of Piper's voice. He takes in a deep breath.
PIPER (voice over): (echoed) Leo!
Leo orbs. A HAND reaches into the orb and pulls Leo back down.
Leo materializes and looks around. An ELDER, HAEL, stands on the bridge with him. A look of concern covers the Elder's face.
Leo just looks annoyed.
LEO: What do you want, Hael?
HAEL: We need to talk.
LEO: Talk? There is nothing for us to talk about.
Hael steps closer to Leo.
HAEL: Oh, I think there is, Leo.
LEO: Well, can we do it later? I really don't have time to...
HAEL: No, it's very important that we do it now.
LEO: Fine! What is it that you want to discuss?
HAEL: It concerns Zola's death.
Leo stands perfectly still, eyes wide. Hael has his full attention now.
LEO: What about it?
Hael places a hand on Leo's shoulder.
HAEL: We really should go somewhere a little more private.
LEO: What place is more private than this?
HAEL: Oh, I know of a few.
He orbs them out.
INT. MAGIC SCHOOL - PAIGE'S OFFICE - DAY
PAIGE sits behind her desk looking through a file. A WOMAN, MRS. RUSSO, sits on the other side. She is looking anxious.
MRS. RUSSO: Have you found it yet?
PAIGE: No, I'm still looking. (to herself) If you would get off my back.
MRS. RUSSO: What was that?
Paige closes the folder.
PAIGE: Um...nothing. Listen, I'm sure I'll find Laurence's transcripts soon. It's just that I'm still trying to sort things out and get everything organized. Can you please just give me a little time.
MRS. RUSSO: Time is a luxury I can't afford. My son is transferring to a new school the beginning of next year. I need those records so he can get in.
PAIGE: And I promise to find them soon. But, Emma...
MRS. RUSSO: That's Mrs. Russo.
PAIGE: We're not at that stage yet?
Mrs. Russo responds by giving Paige a cold stare. Paige LAUGHS awkwardly.
PAIGE (cont'd): Hmm...didn't think so. Anyway, I wanted to know why you were taking Laurence out of Magic School.
MRS. RUSSO: I want to take him out before this place goes to the dumps.
PAIGE: Excuse me?
MRS. RUSSO: Please! Do you really think you could run this place? You're just a witch...
PAIGE: Half whitelighter, thank you.
MRS. RUSSO: Even so, how long have you been a practicing witch? A few years?
PAIGE: Well, technically yes, but...
MRS. RUSSO: Don't think I haven't done my homework on you, Ms. Matthews. You couldn't possibly know enough about magic to run this place.
PAIGE: Have you forgotten? I'm a...
MRS. RUSSO: Charmed One? What difference does that make? So you fight a few demons from time to time...
PAIGE: Among other things!
MRS. RUSSO: What I'm trying to say is that Gideon was an Elder. There is absolutely no way you could be as qualified as he was. I'm not going to take that risk with Laurence. I'm taking him somewhere I know he'll learn what he needs to.
PAIGE: And where exactly is that? I don't know of any other magic schools anywhere.
MRS. RUSSO: I just have to say that when Gideon was here...
PAIGE: (angered) Gideon isn't here. I am. Either like it or leave, and since you're planning on doing that anyway. There's the door.
Mrs. Russo is shocked by Paige's attitude. After a brief moment, she quickly gets up and walks out of the office.
Paige puts her head in her hands and slowly exhales.
INT. MANOR - SITTING ROOM - DAY
Piper sits on the couch watching Chris as he lies in his bassinet. Pheobe is on the floor playing with Wyatt.
PIPER: I thought you had a lunch date with Leslie.
PHEOBE: I do...I did. I'm going to call him to let him know I can't make it.
PIPER: Why in the world would you do a thing like that? You've been talking my ear off about it since last night.
PHEOBE: It's just not important. With Chris disappearing and Leo not showing up, I think I need to stay here with you. It's a family emergency. I'm sure he'll understand.
PIPER: Don't stay for my sake. Go. Have fun. Be merry. I'll be fine.
PHEOBE: I couldn't. I'd feel bad for leaving you alone. Anything could happen while I was gone.
PIPER: Anything could happen while you were here too.
PHEOBE: That's the thing, Piper. At least I'd be here.
PIPER: I said go. Enjoy yourself. We'll be here whenever you get back.
PHEOBE: Let's hope so.
Piper stands up and walks over to her. Pheobe stands up as well. Pheobe hugs her.
PHEOBE (cont'd): I just worry about you, that's all.
Piper smiles. Pheobe lets go.
PIPER: That seems to be the theme of this house.
She picks Wyatt up.
PHEOBE: I'll be back as soon as I can.
PIPER: Bye.
Pheobe leaves the room.
PIPER (cont'd): Leo!
An orb comes behind her.
PIPER (cont'd): Well, it's about time, Leo.
She turns and faces an ELDER. She jumps back, suprised.
PIPER (cont'd): You're not Leo.
ELDER: I'm sorry to bother you, Piper, but we have reason to think that you and your sons are in immediate danger. The three of you need to come with me.
PIPER: What? But...
The Elder orbs the four of them out.
INT. MANOR - STAIRWELL - CONTINUOUS
Adult Wyatt runs down the stairs. Once he gets to the bottom, he stops as if listening for something. He looks upset after a moment of doing this.
ADULT WYATT: They're not here.
He orbs out, but the orb isn't blue as a whitelighter's, but black as a darklighter's.
