All right people, chapter three!
The three sisters ran up to the attic.
"Oh my God, I can't believe we're gonna see Prue again," said Phoebe. Shestill couldn't imagine what the meeting would be like.
"Me neither," said Piper. "Ooh, wait! You guys summon her, I'll be right back up!"
"Where are you going?" Paige and Phoebe asked in unison.
"To get the boys! They'll probably want to meet their aunt, right? Oh, and Leo, too. Leo!"
Immediately, Piper's husband orbed in.
"Hey, what's up? I'm sensing some excitement, right?"
"Phoebe, fill in husband. Paige, do summoning. Me – get kids." With these words, Piper dashed out of the room to bring her children back up.
After Leo was quickly filled in by Phoebe, Paige began the summoning. She hurriedly placed the traditional candles in the correct places, then went to stand with Leo.
"Spirit from the other side, cross over from the great divide."
A small white dot came out of nowhere and appeared as Prue in the center of the candles.
"Prue!" cried Phoebe, starting to run over to her sister.
"Stop!" shouted Prue, holding her hands up. "Don't cross over the border of candles. Even though Paige was smart enough to know that you two had to make that statement –"she grinned at Paige, "- They still know that you don't think I'm really gone forever, especially with this meeting, so I can't come out of these candles for anyone – I'm a stuck spirit. And I don't want anything to happen to you, just in case you accidentally cross over."
Phoebe, Leo, and Paige took all of this in and backed away a little bit.
"Hey, I won't bite!"
Everyone laughed.
"Hey," said Leo, "Does anyone know where Piper –"
"Sorry I'm late, Chris had a bad diaper and – oh my God, Prue!"
Piper put her two sons into Leo's arms and ran over to give her sister a hug.
Paige tried to stop her.
"No, Piper –"
But Piper had already reached Prue, and gave her a giant hug.
"Prue," she said in tears, "Hi."
But Prue didn't respond. Instead, a gasp was issued from Phoebe, and Paige opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
"What? What's wrong?"
"Um, Piper," said Leo, "I think you might have...well, I don't know this for sure, but...did you just kill yourself?"
Piper looked around and saw the candles around her. Then she looked at her body – it had an almost misty quality to it.
"Um, yeah – can someone please tell me what the heck is going on?!"
