To those who sent me my amazing reviews – thank you thank you thank you! Now, I know that you're all anxious to see what the hell Prue and Leo figured out, so here you go!

"Hold up!" yelled Piper. "I might be dead, Wyatt won't stop crying, Chris is snoring REALLY loudly, Phoebe can't figure out why she's a genius, Paige won't lift her nose out of the Book of Shadows, Leo and Prue figured something out, and I'm confused! So unless someone gets me out of here FAST, I am going to blow something up!"

Chris gave a little snort, but continued sleeping.

"Yeah, um, sweety..."

"Don't you sweety me, Leo, just tell me what you two – "she gestured at he and Prue "– figured out, okay?"

"Well," intervened Prue, "In order to bring me back, you and Phoebe – the only two people in the world who never actually thought of me as dead – had to state that I was. It was a great idea – "she smiled at Paige "– but no matter what you guys might have said, you never truly thought of me as, well, gone."

"Well, that's kinda obvious," sneered Piper, "But what does that have to do with getting me outa here?"

"You see," said Leo, "Phoebe just said that Prue wasn't really the head witch, because she's dead and all; she doesn't perform magic anymore."

"Oh!" exclaimed Paige, catching on. "So, you're saying that Piper got sucked into some kind of vortex that makes her dead, because she didn't think that Prue was dead? Wait. This isn't making sense. Oh!" she exclaimed again, "I think I know how to explain this better!"

Paige ran out of the room, orbing back in only seconds later.

"Once again, Phoebe is a genius," she said.

"Wait! Why?!" Phoebe was confused enough as it was.

Paige pulled out from behind her a small red book.

"My diary," said Phoebe, "Give it back! You already looked at it enough today!"

"No, wait," said Paige, "Something else you wrote in here can help us out of this."

She flipped through the pages, then began to read:

"It's now been a week since Prue died. I miss her so much! I still can't bring myself to understand why she was taken by that demon, instead of me. Why didn't that demon try to come after me, instead of Prue? It's so hard on Piper, too, she being the one that Leo saved, instead of Prue. She's having trouble with being the new older sister. And Paige never even met her, and she was such a great person, and an even better sister. Maybe everything would have been better if I had died instead of Prue."

Paige looked up fro the diary, red-eyed and teary.

"Oh, honey," sniffled Prue, "You shouldn't think that! Do you really think that?"

"Not anymore – I only wrote that a week after you died!"

At the word "died," Piper flickered in, but only for a moment.

"Piper!" said Leo, "For a second there, you were, uh, alive!"

"Huh? Oh, never mind that – Paige, tell us what you're thinking," said a dazed Piper.

"It's just that, well, when you two didn't think of Prue as dead, Piper accidentally ended up becoming a, um, ghost, I guess. Anyway, now that Phoebe keeps talking about how you're dead – "She waved a hand at Prue "- Piper seems to be coming back to life. It would seem as though Piper was turned into a ghost because we resurrected a spirit, um, I guess you could say – prematurely. You know, before they were both totally healed."

Piper flickered again.

"Dude! I saw it that time!" she said excitedly.

"Oooooh..." said Phoebe, "I get it!"

After a long pause, she added, "So, uh, what are we gonna do now?"

Don't stop here – there are still one or two more chapters to come! (Actually, I have some ideas to continue this story after Piper's ordeal is dealt with, but we'll just have to see where that goes, now won't we? ; ) )
