A/N: Wow, new reviewers! Hi. Sorry about the wait for this, computer gone poof etc but I'm back and you know how you all love me so read!

Cue an enormous silence.

Prue was the first to break, 'Madeline?! What are you doing in my house?'

Paige cringed at the reference to Prue still being a part of the family as Maddy answered, 'I'm here with Paige.'

Some sort of realisation glazed her face. 'Wha...? Hang on, you're telling me you're dating my sister?'

Maddy looked incredibly nervous, Chris' bottle hanging limply in her hand. 'Well, yeah.'

Closing her eyes, Paige absorbed the situation. Prue, Maddy, together in the same room, that was her worse nightmare come true. Especially because she'd been pushing Maddy away lately, and for stupid reasons, now she'd summoned her biggest love rival back from the dead. Prue said she had a purpose, what if it was to restore the natural order of things?

'Paige, can you leave us a minute?' Prue's voice was icy with anger.

What could she do but agree? 'Sure, I'll be downstairs.'

As Paige left Maddy tried to catch her eye but to no avail. She didn't understand what was happening, Prue was there in the flesh, how the heck did that happen? 'What are you doing here?'

Prue blanched. 'What am I doing here?! What are you doing here?!'

'Well, I'm seeing Paige, I have been for a bit,' Maddy answered casting a downward glance to the floor and wishing her so-called girlfriend was still there with her.

'Why?'

'Because I… like her.' Why hadn't she said love?

'This isn't some sort of replacement theory then?'

'I thought you knew me better than that.'

'As I remember, you were devastated when I ended it.'

'Oh, still sure of yourself, I see. Being dead didn't change that,' Maddy quipped. 'It was better for both of us, you weren't gay, Prue. I don't know what I was, a quick solution maybe.'

'You think?'

'Don't you?' Maddy countered. 'We were never going to work.'

'So now you're shacking up with my sister?'

'It's nothing to do with you.'

'That's a joke.'

'Prue, the world doesn't revolve around you, it didn't when you were alive and it definitely doesn't now.'

'I don't like this one bit.'

'Which part?'

She smiled briefly as she put Chris back down. 'Oh, I don't know. Dying, you dating my sister, Paige…'

'Being your sister?' Maddy supplied.

'You still know me.'

'I wish I didn't,' she replied sitting on the sofa.

Prue followed suit, maintaining a small distance. 'She's not my sister, you know? I mean, she's related and all but she's Piper and Phoebe's little sister, not mine.'

'You think she's taken your place?'

'Well, hasn't she? I know it sounds bad but I wanted them to grieve, you know? At least for a little while. But Paige came along, remade the power of three and I was forgotten.'

'Yeah, like they could just forget you,' Maddy scoffed. 'They practically idolised you, that was one of the reasons we broke up, remember?'

'What about now?'

'You think Piper doesn't miss you like hell? She doesn't talk about it, probably cause of me and Paige, but she misses you, Prue. Course she does.'

'Yep, well, I'm not supposed to be doing this now. Paige called me down to look after the boys, that's what I should do.'

'Here was me thinking you were just here to annoy me,' Maddy grinned half-heartedly.

'I'll pencil it in for later.'

'Sure you will.'

It was taking all her self-restraint not to pace around the living room to release her frustration. Instead, she sat on the sofa wringing her hands and wondering what was going on two floors up.

An orb in front of her startled her. Chris, Phoebe and Piper. 'Oh, hi.'

'Everything alright?' Phoebe looked concerned.

'Er… yeah. Where's Leo?'

'Elders,' Piper answered. 'Are the boys okay?'

'Mmm, they're in the attic.'

'With Maddy?'

'I think you better go up there.'

'Why, what's wrong?' Piper's voice was sharp.

'Nothing, it's just… Well, the book's up there, alright?'

'Paige, what aren't you telling us?' Phoebe asked.

'Just orb up there, okay?' Paige sighed losing her strength.

'Mom,' Chris took her arm and orbed her away but left Phoebe.

'What's going on, Paige?'

'I accidentally summoned Prue back from the dead, now she's upstairs chatting to my girlfriend about how much they miss each other.'

'Wait, back up, Prue's here?!'

'Upstairs.'

'I'll be right back,' she gushed as she ran out.

Now, wasn't that nice?
