Chapter 6: Reconstituting The Charmed Ones

It was late morning before anyone in the house woke. Phoebe, Prue, and Paige were the first ones because nothing stopped the hot sun from beaming through the open windows. "Morning," Prue smiled as Phoebe and Paige walked into the kitchen.

"Morning," they answered.

"Piper and Leo not up yet?"

"No, I didn't expect them to be, though," Paige said, "it's a lot for them to handle, it's a lot for even me to handle." As soon as she finished talking, Piper and Leo both walked in, fully dressed unlike the others. "Hey, you ok, Piper?"

Piper sighed and leaned on the counter, "I guess, I mean it's a lot to take in. But I think I'm okay with the fact that my ex-fiancé gave up his own life to make mine better."

"Mm, maybe he thought that since you too weren't meant to be that it was best to give all the blessings he could. Ron no doubt knew what he was doing when he saved you four," Leo told her.

"Yeah, probably," Piper replied, "Leo, is it possible, that if they never died, that The Power of Three still exists?"

"I don't know, because in your and Paige's past it was broken three years ago. But in Prue and Phoebe's past it wasn't, so I have no idea."

"Well, there's only one way to figure it out," Phoebe said, and took her shoe off her foot. "Now when I throw it into the air, I want you to try and freeze it Piper. If it works then we know that we still have The Power of Three." Piper was doubtful, she watched as Phoebe threw the shoe into the air, brought her hands up and tried to freeze it in midair. Nothing happened. The shoe bounced off a chair and hit the floor.

"It's gone," Piper simply stated.

"Well, there has to be a way to bring it back!" Prue said, grabbing the shoe off the floor and shoving it into Phoebe's arms.

Piper's eyes suddenly went wide as she realized what she had done, "oh no," she said, "I must have banished our Charmed powers when I banished my witch powers."

"Wait a minute, you did what!" Phoebe said.

Piper looked to Paige for some help. Paige sighed and started talking, "after your funeral, Piper and I decided that it was best that we banish our witch powers, so that demons wouldn't come looking for us, to finish off the last of The Charmed Ones," she paused. "It wasn't our intention on banishing The Power of Three though."

Prue stood up and moved over to Piper, "maybe, you didn't."

"What?" Paige, Phoebe, and Piper asked.

"What if you just set our powers free?" Prue said, at that the others started listening more closely. "Phoebe, what was that spell that you cast that brought us our powers in the first place?"

"I don't know, I would have to see it in The Book of Shadows," she replied.

Prue turned to Piper, "you still have The Book of Shadows, don't you?"

"Um, yes, but not in this house. It's still in the manor, I locked it in the trunk that Phoebe found it in and then had Leo close the house up. It should still be there, I think," Piper said, a little uneasily.

"Well, then all we have to do is go back to the manor and get it out of the trunk and cast the spell," Prue said.

"Prue…" Piper said.

"What?" Prue retorted, "Wither you like it nor not, Piper, you're going to have to return to the manor. What choice do we have?"

Piper shook her head, "everything I ever had with that home was taken away from me, and now you just expect me to act like I want to move back in!"

"What are you talking about, honey?" Phoebe asked.

"All I ever wanted was just to live happily with my sisters in the house we grew up in, powers or no powers, and that was taken away from me when you two were killed," Piper cried.

"Oh, Piper, we had no idea," Prue said, rubbing her back. "Still we should go and get the book, because if the Underworld gets word that the Charmed Ones are back, we'd be defenseless without our powers."

"Can we even get our powers back?" Phoebe asked.

"It's worth a try," Leo said, "There might even be a way for all four of you to get Charmed powers."

"What!" Prue said, "Leo, that's never been possible."

"Well, it's not totally crazy," Paige said, "I mean, maybe I didn't get any Charmed powers because I wasn't in the house at the time Phoebe cast the spell."

"Besides, even if we could give Paige powers, the spell is only written for 'we sisters three' not four," Piper told them.

"Still it's worth it, if you can get 'the Power of Four' then you guys would be almost invincible, just imagine all the power you would have," Leo stated. "No demon would even try to kill you."

"Oh, all right!" Piper said, defeated. "But the next time this happens, remember I wasn't the one that was interested in reconstituting the Charmed Ones." She rolled her eyes and headed to the door. "Well, are you guys coming or not?" Everyone followed her out the door.

"How are we getting there?" Prue asked.

"I don't know, but we'd better get to the manor fast, before someone notices that we have two dead people following us," Paige said.

"I don't think you need to worry about that," Leo said, "Since the past was changed, it's like they never even died."

"Oh, of course," Paige said. "Still we might want to orb there."

"Good idea," Phoebe piped in. She turned around and went back into the house. "Probably best to orb from inside the house, make sure no one sees us."

"Right," everyone replied trailing in behind her.

"All right, Leo," Piper said, "you can orb me and Paige can orb Phoebe and Prue." She then took hold of her lover's hand and they orbed out of the house, quickly followed by Prue, Phoebe, and Paige.

A/N: I'm putting this story on hold until further notice. I'm having severe writers block regarding this story. Seems how it was based on an unfinished dream. There will probably be one or two more chapters to this. I will most likely finish this before I post another story.
