Peanut2lb: Glad you like it! I hoped someone would like the solar demons! Glad you liked Philip! Suppose Cole was right! You'll just have to see if Piper and Dan make it down the aisle! Can't wait for your next update? When will that be?

The-Cheese-Fairy: Glad you liked it! Dan better watch out for those flying monkeys! lol

Princess Pinky: Glad you liked it! Glad you liked Phoebe's dress! Philip wasn't a very good idea, well the way I introduced him wasn't, but he's been and gone, never to be seen again! Glad you liked the solar demons, they're in this chapter too! I'm a big Piper/Leo fan, but you'll just have to wait and see!

The title for this chapter is a play on 'Genie in a Bottle'.

Prue in a Bottle:

Six month old Grace sat in her playpen, she had just conjured a rag doll and was hitting it on the floor,

"she has feelings y'know," a voice told her, Grace looked up to see a man. The baby girl used her enchanted sight to identify him, only to learn he was neither good nor evil,

"demon!" Prue exclaimed as she walked into the living room, she was about to use her power when Grace conjured a piece of paper and threw it. The eldest charmed one picked it up and read the word,

"genie,"

"what about a genie?" Piper asked, when she saw the man she threw out her hands to blow him up, but he smoked out before the power hit him.

"That guy was a genie, I don't know why he's here though," Prue said, the genie smoked back in,

"I'm here to give you three wishes," he told them,

"I've got a wish," Phoebe joined the conversation as she walked in,

"what happened to your ankle?" Piper asked,

"I levitated into a trash can while I was fighting a demon by Bucklands," she replied.

"What were you doing at Bucklands?" Prue asked,

"I wasn't at Bucklands, I was following Paige and she went past there, but then there was a demon there and he attacked me," Phoebe told her,

"anyway, what was your wish?" the genie asked,

"don't tell him, we need to look in the book for more information about genies," Prue said, she headed upstairs followed by Piper and Phoebe, who limped, the demon smoked after them.

"That's the demon who attacked me," Phoebe said, pointing to the demon who was trying the grab the Book of Shadows,

"I recognise you, I fought you when I was Superwitch," Piper stated,

"Belthazar," Phoebe remembered. The red and black demon fired an energy ball at the three sisters, who were standing in the doorway, Piper blew it up,

"I meant to freeze it," she groaned, Prue glared at the demon and released a telekinetic blast at him, Belthazar was thrown through the air by the blast and shimmered out before he hit the wall.

"So why were you following Paige?" Prue asked,

"because Leo told me the Elders still have no idea who or what she is, so I decided to follow her and see if I could help find out," Phoebe replied,

"you spoke to Leo? Did you tell him about me and Dan?" Piper asked, Phoebe shook her head,

"I think that's your job, and considering you've been engaged for nearly three months I would have thought you'd of told him by now," she said.

"Back to the problem at hand, who sent you?" Prue questioned the genie, pinning him to the wall in a telekinetic hold,

"solar demons, they said if I could get you to make three wishes those wishes might make you more vulnerable, so then they'll be able to kill you and get the baby," the genie replied.

"I knew we shouldn't have made that deal to give them Philip's powers," Piper said,

"we had no choice, it was that or Grace, Andy and Leo died," Prue replied,

"and mom and grams," Phoebe added,

"they don't count, they're already dead," Prue said. Cries burst from the baby monitor which was hooked to Prue's belt,

"considering you know I'm not evil, do you want me to go entertain her?" the genie said,

"I'll make sure he doesn't hurt her," Piper said, following the genie downstairs.

"You must be little Gracie wacie," the genie said in a babyish voice, as he picked Grace up, she smiled at him before conjuring a big daisy into his hand,

"that usually means she likes someone," Piper told him.

Prue used her power to flip the pages of the book,

"I'm gonna call Leo to heal my ankle, then maybe he and Piper can talk," Phoebe said, "Leo!" bright, blue-white, lights appeared and formed the whitelighter,

"what's wrong?" he asked,

"my ankle," Phoebe replied, he leaned over and healed it,

"now you need to talk to Piper," Phoebe said, "she's downstairs." Leo orbed downstairs to find the genie holding Grace, and Piper smiling as he pulled funny faces at her niece,

"I'll think I'll go see if your sister trust me yet," the genie said when he saw Leo, he handed Grace to Piper and smoked out.

"Phoebe said we need to talk," Leo said,

"yeah, we do," Piper replied, "you see…the thing is…me and Dan are getting married," Leo's jaw dropped in complete shock,

"I…I'm happy f…for you," he stuttered. Suddenly, a sign appeared in Leo's hand, the word 'liar' was written in bold,

"thank you Grace," Leo said sarcastically, yet with a friendly smile. Piper knew how she would feel in his position and couldn't help but feel guilty, the only thing she could do to hide her tears was grin, but unfortunately their powers were tied to their emotions and she was feeling pretty powerful emotions right now, so the 'liar' sign blew up. Leo was about to say something when a crash came from upstairs,

"keep Grace safe," Piper said, she handed the baby to her former lover and ran up to the attic. When she got up there she found Phoebe unconscious with two solar demons holding Prue's arms and the solar king holding a ball of sunlight to the genie stomach,

"you failed me, not even one wish has been made," he growled, Piper prepared to blow him up when a solar demon grabbed her. The king plunged the sunlight into the genie and watched as he burnt to a crisp,

"now I shall have his magic," he said,

"oh no you don't," Prue said, her body went limp and out of a pink flare Astral Prue appeared next to him. She swung her fist into his eye and grabbed the green sparkle which had remained from the genie, it entered her body through her hand and released a warm glow over her,

"she has absorbed the essence of his genie, now she has his powers," one of the solar demons stated. Astral Prue tried to return to her body but it wouldn't work,

"that is charmed one Prue, you are genie Prue," the king told her,

"no, that is charmed one Prue, and I am charmed one Astral Prue," she said,

"not anymore," he snarled, then they all disappeared in their trademark bright flash.

"Oh god, I'm a genie," Astral Prue mumbled,

"let's get your body to your room," Piper said, she helped Phoebe up and then they carried Prue to her room, while Astral Prue stood in shock. She decided to see what kind of powers genies had and waved her hand at the pedestal which the Book of Shadows sat upon, instead of it flying through the air, an old, vase-like, bottle appeared in her hands.

"Should I open it?" she asked herself, she lifted the lid and was sucked into it,

"oh no, Prue!" Piper exclaimed from the door, she ran in and picked up the bottle, opening it and releasing Astral Prue.

"There's really nice furniture in there," the eldest sister smiled, Piper opened her mouth to reply to her sister but got a stopped when Astral Prue began to transform into smoke,

"someone's making a wish," she told her. Astral Prue smoked into Phoebe's bedroom,

"I wish I had a destructive power, so then I wouldn't be levitating into trash cans," Phoebe said, not realizing her witch turned genie sister was behind her,

"your wish, is my command," Astral Prue said, she had no control over her actions and before she knew it she had just granted Phoebe's wish. A ball of sunlight appeared in the youngest sister's hand,

"what the…?" she said,

"I think I just made you solarkinetic, but I also think I might have stolen it from one of the solar demons, or, even worse, the king," Astral Prue told her, Phoebe tossed the ball at her bed and watched as one of the pillows erupted in flames and dissolved into ash,

"cool," she said,

"uh oh, someone's making another wish," Astral Prue said, smoking out uncontrollably. This time she found she had smoked into the kitchen, where Leo was sitting with Grace,

"I wish I was marrying Piper," he said, glancing over at the wedding magazines on the table. Once again Astral Prue found she had granted the wish and Leo's clothes changed into a tuxedo,

"where is Leo? Where is my groom?" Piper's voice called from the stairs,

"I am here my bride," Leo replied, setting Grace down onto the floor and walking into the foyer. Astral Prue picked up her daughter,

"one more wish and I'm free of this, but then I'll have to cope with Phoebe's power and Leo and Piper getting married," she said, Grace gurgled,

"lets go to daddy, maybe he can wish the other two wishes were undone?" Astral Prue said, smoking at with Grace in her arms.

They smoked into the female toilets at the police station, luckily there was no one in there, Astral Prue left the toilets and went over to Andy's desk,

"we have a wishing problem, can I speak to you in private?" she said, he nodded and led her into the Lieutenant's office, which was also empty.

"I need you to come home and see what's happened," Astral Prue said, she grabbed his hand and smoked them back to the manor. They arrived to find Phoebe releasing sunlight in all directions and Leo and Piper saying vows,

"I need you to wish these wishes undone," Astral Prue told him, he nodded and said,

"I wish these wishes were undone," Prue granted this wish and felt the genie powers leave her. Sunlight stopped shooting from Phoebe's hands and Piper and Leo's clothes returned to normal,

"what just happened?" Leo asked,

"I think we nearly got married," Piper replied, they shared a smile and she went upstairs.

"Finally I can return to my body," Astral Prue said, and then she disappeared into a pink flare,

"I'll take you back to the station," Leo said, orbing out with Andy. Phoebe stood still for several moments and then levitated into the air,

"I didn't bang into anything," she said in a childish voice, but this cheery-ness was short-lived, as she levitated back to the floor her leg hit the table. When Grace, who Astral Prue had sat on the floor before returning to her body, saw her aunt clutching her knee she conjured a piece of wet tissue and threw it at her,

"thanks Grace," Phoebe said, pressing the tissue to the graze on her knee, Grace giggled. Out of a bright flash the solar king appeared,

"my power, I know your sister gave you my power when she granted your wish," he snapped at Phoebe,

"I don't have it anymore, and if you don't have it, it mustn't exist anymore, unless one of your minions has got it, but at least I'll be able to vanquish now," she replied, Grace conjured an athame into the king's chest and watched as he exploded into bright light.
