"I... I..." Phoebe stuttered, before she doubled over in pain.

"Phoebe," Cole called out, struggling against the guards, harder than before.

Phoebe's hair began to flash between gray and her natural brown. It finally settled on gray, as her skin began to wrinkle and her boobs sagged. Phoebe was no longer herself, she now became an old lady.

Staring unbelievably at her hand, Phoebe soon fainted. The guards, distracted at what had happened, loosened their grips on their prisoners. Cole and Paige escaped their clutches and dashed to aging Phoebe's side.

"What the hell is happening to her?" Paige frantically screamed.

"I know what's happening," muttered Cole, his eyes full of concern.

The rest of the crew disappeared into the floor, even Henry did.

"What's happening to her?" Paige demanded.

"The curse..."

"What does the curse do?"

"If a member of our crew sleeps with someone outside of our crew, that person ages and so do that crew member..." Cole's face began to change as well, in a few seconds he aged to an eighty year old man. "I didn't think of it before, but now, I've endangered Phoebe and myself."

"Do you know how to reverse it?"

"Phoebe has to lift the curse."

"How does she do that?"

"She has to die."

"What!!!!!!!!!"

"She's going to die either way. The curse kills both of us within a few days. If she doesn't lift the curse, she and I die. If she does, I live and she dies."

"Can't you think of anyone but yourself?"

"I... lo..." Cole began but trailed off as his eyes rolled back into his head and he fainted beside Phoebe.
