It was six. Phoebe was all dressed up for her night with Josh. They were going at this lawyer thing tonight. As she told herself while getting to San Francisco, she would wait until tomorrow to tell her fiancé the truth.
Phoebe smiled. Emily had just arrived in the hall of the hotel. As weird as it sound the girl already found herself a date. They had arrived in the city six hours ago and she had been able to find herself a cute guy for her evening. In fact, before arriving to the hotel they had stopped at a little café to take a sandwich. That's where Emily met the guy. She had told Phoebe she founded him cute and she then went to him asking him on a date the same day. When Phoebe at looked at her in shock, her friend replied that she was in this town only for Phoebe and for her wedding and that since this night was her only night without wedding or rehearsal, she planned having some fun. Phoebe had to admit to herself that this girl, even though she didn't remember her, was amazing and making her happy.
Well Pheebs, you look gorgeous as always! I can say Josh will be really happy to see you.
Yeah…. I… I missed him too. Can't wait to see him.
Well then what are you waiting for? Grab a taxi and go join your love one!
You are right! Anyway have a great date too!
Phoebe then went outside and took a taxi. She gave the address to the cab driver. Outside it was raining. She could see people running on the streets with coats over their heads. About 10 minutes later the cab stopped in front of a beautiful reception hall. A rich place for sure, Phoebe noticed. People well dressed were getting into the principal entry. Phoebe paid the man and then reached the hall. She knew that behind those doors she would meet Josh and all the rich lawyers of New York by the same occasion. Suddenly she got scared. It was like if she got hit by reality all of a sudden.
She was nobody. At least she was nobody for herself. She couldn't go in there where a perfect stranger would kiss her. She couldn't tell the man who was supposed to marry her that she had no idea who she was. How did she think she would be able to do this?
Would her memory ever come back? Of course she had those little feelings. Like this morning when this Leo named popped into her head or the fact that she knew she was friend with Emily. But would that be enough? What would Josh say? Would he still want her in his life? Would she still want him in his life? Would he ask her to go see a doctor?
Phoebe was now freaking out. She had to get out of this place. She ran outside. As she walked back to the street she realized how it was strongly raining. She couldn't wait outside for a cab. Phoebe decided to go in a little restaurant before getting back to the hotel. She wasn't in a hurry either. She needed time to think about how she would deal with the situation.
She entered the little restaurant. Obviously it was an Italian place by the look of the menu. She went to a little table and sat down. She then looked at herself. Her hair and her dress, carefully placed an hour later, were now soaking wet. She didn't even want to think about her makeup. Phoebe looked around. There was only one other client in the restaurant. He was obviously from the lawyer ball too since he was wearing a tox. There was something about this man that was special. He was cute, that was certain. But she had a feeling beyond physical attraction. It was as if she liked that stranger but at the same time if she hated him. Wow Pheebs she thought to herself, you are even more fucked up then you thought.
2 years earlier ( underworld)
What is it Zankou? I heard it was an urgent meeting. What's going on?
It's the charmed One!
Again! What happened?
I found a way to destroy them.
They can't be killed! They are too strong for that!
I know! But I can make them believe that one of them is dead!
What do you mean?
I have a spell! A spell that can make one of the charmed one forgets who she is! Not only that! She will wake up two years in the future. Long enough time to make the two remaining sisters think that they have lost another beloved sister.
I'm not sure I understand perfectly!
You know who Phoebe Halliwell is, right?
I know who she is!
Well, she works at a mortal place during the day. You'll go there. Make her drink my potion and then you'll put this all over her desk!
What is this?
Her blood!
How did you found one of the charmed one's blood?
You remember Drake? Well he lured her. Then at night he cut her while she was sleeping.
I thought that demon betrayed us!
That demon sacrificed himself for my secret plan. Now, everything is ready. She'll drink the potion, forget who she his, she'll arrived two years into a new future far away from magic. She'll live happy as a mortal! Her sister will think she's dead, there wont be any charmed ones anymore.
How can you be so sure the witch wont have her power in the future? I mean the girl will stay a Halliwell even if she takes this potion right?
The witch won't even believe in magic. She'll have no power. She doesn't even have powers now. She lost them for bad use or something!
And the two remaining sisters? They'll still be witches.
Yes, but not the charmed ones. Besides, I don't think they'll accept their sister's death.
Present
Phoebe had just finished her meal. She still didn't know what to do about Josh but at least she was not starving anymore. She hurried out of the restaurant when she bumped into the cute guy who was apparently getting to his car.
I… I'm sorry. I didn't see you…
Phoebe looked at the guy. He had the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. The guy who seemed in a hurry seemed to notice her for the first time. His face twitched. He was looking kind of confused.
What's the matter, Phoebe asked. You look as if you had just seen a ghost!
