Wow, that's a lot of reviews. Thanks you guys! You make my mail reading fun.

sophswarb- Thanks. I still think it sucked, but as long as you guys like it...

.elementbabe.- Thanks!

Alyssa Halliwell- Piper's always the protective big sister, it's awesome!

The-Cheese-Fairy- I believe you sensed right. You guys can read me so well. It's horrible, am I that obvious? Glad you liked it.

s.halliwell- Thanks! Actually, it was Phoebe who said that but that's okay.

Who-will-change-the-world- Huh, I'm not sure who's idea it was, but it was definitely a good one. This is one instance where it's good to assume ;)

Susan- I don't mind your long reviews, I like reading people's ideas.

Paige Halliwell- Hey, it's good to hear from you again! Sorry about your sadness of Paige being raped and such, but it's better now. By the way, I love Paige, there's no way I couldn't!

tvspaz626- How can you not like Prue? Prue rocks! Anyways, I never thought about the bikini thing, even though it's not her most pressing issue.

"You have to let me go down there!" Prue yelled angrily. She had been arguing with the Elders for a while now, ever since Paige had been kidnapped.

"It is against the rules! We'll not allow it," the Elder shot back.

"This is ridiculous. My baby sister gets beaten, cut up, and raped and you won't let me go down and help vanquish the sorry bastard who did it to her? How about we get Cole up here and let him do that to you? You guys have no heart. You're disgusting," Prue said, turning away.

"Prudence, you know as well as I that this is above us," the Elder said, trying to reason with her.

"It damn well is not!" Prue said, turning around rapidly. "You could make an exception, I know you can. This is my sister, your Charmed One. If you don't let me go down there, they'll never be able to vanquish him. That means that he can keep haunting Paige. He could capture her again and then what good is she? You have to let me go down there. You have to let me help. Please," she pleaded. The Elder sighed.

"Fine, but not until you're needed. We can't risk you distracting the sisters from their job," he said.

"Then you better send me down there now because if you just spring me one them, we're not going to get anything done. Have to allow time for reunions," Prue said slyly.

Piper sat, watching her sisters sleep. She felt good watching over them, protecting them. It was her job. She still felt guilty for not doing her job a week ago. Although Paige's bruises and cuts had healed, her pride and mind never would. No matter how strong she was about it, she will still be terrified. She would still break down inside. Piper was furious. If she could go back to her Fury days, she would find Cole and make him feel everything that he had made Paige feel. She would make it hurt worse.

Piper's ears pricked up. She thought she had heard a sound, but maybe it was just her imagination. Suddenly, someone moved into the room so swiftly that all Piper saw was a mass of black. He reached overtop of Phoebe and put his hands on Paige.

"Hey!" Piper yelled standing up. Cole looked up at her, alarmed that she was awake.

"Piper, this isn't your business. Just let me take her and no one else will get hurt," Cole said, keeping his hands on Paige. Piper flicked her wrists as a reflex, even though she knew that it wouldn't have an affect on him.

"I'm not letting you hurt her again," Piper said.

"Your choice," Cole said, forming an energy ball. He suddenly dropped to his knees to reveal Prue standing behind him.

"Bastard!" Prue spat at him. He looked up at her, confused and dazed. He quickly orbed out, leaving his target behind.

"Prue!" Piper yelped, holding her hands up in case it was a trick.

"Good to see you too, sis," Prue said with a grin. Phoebe and Paige jumped awake.

"What's wrong?" Phoebe asked sleepily.

"Hey Pheebs, how are ya?" Prue asked. Phoebe jumped at the sound of her dead sister's voice.

"Prue?" she asked. Prue nodded. She sprang out of bed and grabbed her sister around the neck, hugging her tightly. Prue fought back the tears in her eyes. Finally Phoebe stepped back, allowing Prue to get a look at Paige.

"God, you're even more beautiful down here," Prue said. Paige smiled shyly, standing up. She went to shake Prue's hand, but Prue pulled her into a huge hug, which she gladly returned. All the while Piper just stood back, not believing that her sister was really back. Prue let go of Paige and looked up at her.

"And how about you, Pipes? Do I get a hug from you too?" Prue asked. Piper flung herself at Prue, the tears flowing freely.

"I missed you so much Prue," she sobbed.

"I know, I missed you guys too," Prue said, her own tears streaming down her face. Paige and Phoebe were working their hardest to keep back their tears, but it was having no affect. Piper stepped back, wiping her tears away.

"So, not that I'm not happy, but what are you doing here?" she asked.

"Helping you guys out," Prue replied.

"With what?" Phoebe asked curiously.

"I think we should go downstairs and talk about it," Prue said, looking around as though not thinking that Cole was really gone. They all traipsed downstairs and into the kitchen, taking seats around the table. Piper got them all some tea, except for Prue who still preferred her coffee leaded.

"So what's the deal?" Paige finally asked, giving Prue the chance to savor coffee for the first time in a while.

"Well, I've been watching you guys ever since I died and I saw what Cole did to you. He needs to pay for what he did but you guys can't beat him with the power of three alone. You need more. I've been fighting with the Elders for days to let me come down here and help and they finally did. I want to help. I need to help. I can't make up for the time we've lost now that I'm dead, but I can at least help a little," Prue said desperately.

"Thank you Prue. It would be really great to have your help. But you don't need to make up for time lost. We just weren't meant to be together in the same lifetime. I understand that and it's okay. I know the big sister thing can lie pretty heavily on your shoulders. Piper still doesn't forgive herself for what Cole did to me, even though it's not her fault," Paige said, looking at Piper. Piper shrugged.

"It's my job," she said simply. Prue nodded in understanding.

"So what are we going to do to get rid of him?" Phoebe asked anxiously. Prue looked at her curiously.

"I'm really sorry that things didn't work out between you two," Prue said.

"Yeah, I just wish he could have stayed dead the first time," Phoebe said angrily.

"I know Pheebs, but we'll find a way," Prue assured her.

"If only I was still a Fury," Piper said.

"Yeah, you could make him feel the pain of everything he did to Paige and everyone else he ever hurt," Prue said.

"That's it!" Phoebe said, jumping up. She ran upstairs and her sisters heard the bedroom door slam shut.

"What do you think she's doing up there?" Paige asked.

"Letting out some anger," Prue replied.

"I doubt that she'll come back down empty handed," Piper said. The phone began ringing and Prue jumped up to answer it.

"Hello," she said.

"Can I speak to Paige?" a voice asked.

"Can I tell her who's calling?" Prue asked suspiciously.

"It's Kyle, from earlier," he said.

"Okay, hold on one second," Prue said. She held the receiver, covering up the bottom part. "Kyle?" she asked. Paige jumped up.

"It's Kyle Brody. He saved me. I thought you said you were watching," Paige said.

"I must have been fighting with the Elders then," Prue said with a shrug. Paige rolled her eyes and took the phone.

"Hey Kyle," she said.

"Hey Paige, how are you feeling?" he asked.

"I'm good, thanks. A nice, pain free nap helped a lot," Paige said.

"I'm glad. Who answered the phone?" he asked curiously.

"Oh that was Prue," she said.

"Prue? As in dead Prue? Never mind," Kyle said, not wanting to go through the whole explanation.

"Hey, I don't remember if I got a chance to thank you, so, thanks. A lot. I don't know what I would have done without you," Paige said.

"No problem. I want to help in any way that I can, so call me if you guys need anything," Kyle said.

"I will thanks. And thanks for calling to check up on me," Paige said.

"Any time," Kyle said. Paige heard Phoebe bounding down the stairs.

"Listen, I gotta go. Thanks again," Paige said.

"Bye," Kyle said. They hung up just as Phoebe came in the kitchen.

"I've got a spell," she said, holding up the paper.

"How could you fail to get her?" Cole yelled.

"I wasn't anticipating Piper being awake. And Prue found a way back somehow," he said.

"Well because of your mistake, you're going to have to be extra careful. There's no doubt that they will be looking for a way to kill you now," his first half said.

"I know. I will get Paige back. I'm not finished with her yet," he said, his eyes blazing madly.

It's so hard to write a story about Cole being evil when you love him so much. I was just watching a season 4 episode and he was still good then. He was so cute and funny, I love him. But there's no stopping now. I've got to finish. Hope you guys like the Prue appearance. Till next time...
