Two years earlier

Hey Piper, how are you this morning? Leo said entering the kitchen.

Not to bad. I mean, we didn't have a demon attacking for at least a month so I guess this is good news.

Then why do you look so down? There is something you are not telling me.

Well, I don't know for sure but I have a bad feeling. I guess that when demons aren't attacking I automatically think it's because they are planning something.

You are talking about Zankou aren't you?

Yeah well… When the most dangerous demon of all times is released I'm never too happy about it. I mean, even the Source wanted to stop him and now that he is back… We are not attacked! It's just not normal.

You are right.

Normally I would ask you to check with the Elders but I guess they are still mad about you being an avatar?

Yes they are. I have no clue what will happen to me.

Nothing of course. I mean you have a family now and you are the Charmed One's Whitelighter. They can't do anything!

Hope you are right. So… how are Phoebe and Paige?

Well… Paige misses Kyle a lot. I think she blames herself for his death.

Why? She has nothing to do with it.

She thinks that if she had believed him earlier she could have saved him.

If someone should blame himself it's me. I should never have agreed to be an avatar.

You thought it was for the best. I mean… you did it for your family and I think I would have done the same if I had been in your place.

Present

Phoebe… The girl said entering her bedroom

Phoebe woke up. She sat on her bed to see the same girl as earlier holding a sandwich and a glass of water in her hands. The girl smiled.

You look better sweetie. I told you a nap would help!

The girl was actually right. She felt better. She had no headache anymore. She smiled. She didn't even felt dizzy. The only thing wrong was that she still couldn't remember anything. Her smile faded away. She walked to the window. It was a beautiful day. There was a beautiful sun shining and no clouds.

Pheebs, I know you are better but you should take it easy. I brought you a sandwich I guess you are starving!

Phoebe turned around and sat on the bed. The girl gave her the sandwich. Phoebe ate it (she was starving) and then she drank the water. The girl sat next to her.

So… I called your job this morning to say you were sick.

Thanks, Phoebe said. I appreciate it that you take care of me.

I better, the girl replied laughing, if I want you to do the same when I drink too much.

Phoebe laughed. She didn't remember the girl but she could say she liked her.

So how is Josh?

Josh?

Yeah Josh! You know… your fiancé! The girl laughed again.

Oh yeah… of course… Josh, Phoebe replied trying to sound normal.

Pheebs, You are sure you are ok. You look kind of confused.

I…. phoebe said in a whisper, I don't remember!

WHAT? The girl said and Phoebe could sense the panic in her voice.

I… I don't know… where I am… who I am… And…sorry… but I have no idea who you are!

I hope you are kidding!

I'm sorry I'm not!

Well that's just great considering that you are getting married in a week! How the hell did that happened?

I have no idea. I just told you, I don't remember a thing!

Well that's great! What will we told Josh?

I have a question about that. You told me this morning that yesterday I was flirting a guy and now you tell me I have a fiancé. What kind of a slut am I?

You are not a slut sweetie the girl said smiling. It was just a flirt nothing else.

And where is my fiancé when I'm flirting other guys in a bar?

He is in San Francisco.

San Francisco… Why?

His family live there and that's where the wedding is going to be. We are supposed to leave NY tomorrow. But now that you have forgotten everything, what will we do?

Well… I guess you can help me remember. I am sure it is just the stress because of the wedding. Everything will be ok tomorrow. I promise.

Ok then… your name is Phoebe Halliwell. When you were young you lived in San Francisco. You never told me a lot about your childhood but I think your mother died when you were young. Your father left you and your two sisters alone.

Phoebe felt sick again. No, she didn't remember the events but she could remember some feelings. Oh… she said. How lucky was I? Loosing my two parents. I think I'm better with no memory than with theses! Phoebe said trying to laugh. The girl looked at her with sad eyes.

I… I'm sorry! Do you want me to stop?

Of course not! I need to know who I am if I am planning to get married in a week.

You are sure? I mean maybe you should go see a doctor or something. You are really lost sweetie and maybe a doctor would help more than me.

I'm telling you, it is just stress because of the wedding. I'll be ok tomorrow.

Seeing the look of concern in her friend's eyes she added.

And if I'm not, than we will go see a doctor first thing in the morning. Beside, I don't think a doctor can tell me as much about my past as you can. So please continue.

You are probably right. Now… As I was saying before, I don't know a lot about your childhood. First time I saw you, you were moving to NY. A friend of me had met you in a bar and we were presented. We became friends very fast. When I asked you why you leaved San Francisco you told me your grandmother just died and that she was the only thing keeping you there. You also told me that you and your two sisters didn't get along very well. You then became my roommate for six months. We really had a blast! But we were young and we didn't work we were in parties all the time. And one day we were broke. Well, you more than me. So you decided to go back with your sisters because you knew they would let you stay with them.

Phoebe was feeling a lot of feelings at the same time. She knew they were related with the story she was hearing. But it's a good thing, right she asked herself. After all, if she had emotions toward the story that meant that somewhere inside of her she remembered.
