I'm typing this in my 6th period class right now because I have a free period, so lucky you (and me). Yall ready for this? Lol, just kidding.
Prince Halliwell- Well, there wouldn't really be consequences because they're doing it to save the world, not for personal gain. So it's all good.
Fire Gazer- It was really good. Yes, thankfully there will be a season 8. Thanks!
fanmania- Thanks!
The-Cheese-Fairy- Lol! Sorry, but I have to give Phoebe a little credit for something. What's the fun of knowing what happens if you haven't already seen it? I do know what you mean though. I can't wait to see what they do with it.
Who-will-change-the-world- It was really good. You'll like it (I hope).
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe were all sitting on the couch, watching the children play. Prue had to stop Patience from shooting water at Preston a few times (their relationship much resembled their mothers' early relationship with each other), but other than that they were all being peaceful. Suddenly, Paige and Frisco orbed in.
"We officially have ten Nexuses left!" Paige exclaimed, picking up her daughter and spinning her around happily.
"Really? That's awesome you guys," Phoebe said.
"You have no idea how happy I am that I only have to find ten more of those things," Paige said. It had been about two weeks since Phoebe had come up with her plan and since then Paige, Cole, and the O'Reillys had been working non stop to find all of the Nexuses.
"Now, if only we knew how many addresses the Bringers had," Piper said. They all looked up as Cole shimmered in.
"I got an updated list from the Bringers' lair," he said, holding up some papers. Piper raised her eyebrow.
"If only I had a million dollars," she said. They all looked at her questioningly. "Just checking." Prue laughed.
"So, how many are there?" Paige asked.
"Well actually, they have all of them," Cole said.
"What?" Prue asked.
"All of them? As in all 248?" Phoebe asked. Cole nodded.
"So we need to get it in high gear and finalize our plans because we only have about a day now," Cole said.
"A day? They've had all of these addresses for a month? What the hell?" Paige asked, starting to panic.
"It doesn't matter now. We just need to figure out exactly what we're doing so that we can be prepared. Now, what I'm thinking is that the original four of us will be guarding this Nexus. Since we need it to stay strong, we'll only use the spell as a last resort. We'll say the spell to multiply ourselves in the morning and then all of the Paige's will orb the others out to their assigned Nexuses," Prue said.
"What about us?" Frisco asked.
"You and everyone who's not the four of us will be at Magic School making sure the kids are safe," Paige said.
"What? No way!" Cole protested.
"Cole, this is our fight. Just keep Preston and the others safe at all costs," Phoebe said. Cole sighed and nodded.
"How are we going to fit all of us in here though?" Piper asked.
"I think it's time to visit the old battlegrounds," Prue said.
"San Francisco Valley," Paige said. Prue nodded.
"Ew, that's gonna be so weird," Phoebe said.
"Yeah, but it'll be enough room for all of us to fit," Prue said.
"We should go check it out now," Piper said. Her sisters looked at her questioningly. "To make sure there's no one there," she said pointedly. Paige nodded and grabbed her sisters, quickly orbing out.
"What the hell was that about?" Cole asked. Frisco shrugged.
"Wow, flashback central," Paige said when they had arrived in the valley.
"Tell me about it. I told you this would be weird," Phoebe said.
"It's funny to think that this may be one of the last places we ever see. Especially after it was almost the last place we ever saw two years ago," Piper said.
"That's what you wanted to talk about, isn't it?" Prue asked. Piper nodded.
"Paige was right the other day. This could be it for us. I know we thought that about the war, but this is different. This is hundreds of demons activating 248 of the biggest sources of power on the earth. We may not be able to stop it. We have to have a plan if we don't. Two years ago, I wasn't really worried about this. But now I have a kid and a husband who has to take care of that kid if I die. We need to have all the paperwork ready. We need to be prepared," Piper said. Her sisters were silent, knowing that she was right.
"It's kind of scary," Phoebe said. Paige nodded.
"If it helps, there are no other people on earth that I'd rather die with," Paige said. They all smiled, sharing a big hug.
"We'll have to tell the husbands," Piper said.
"That's gonna be hellish," Prue said. Her sisters nodded in agreement and Paige orbed them back out.
That night, after dinner, the girls had asked their husbands to come to the living room so that they could have a little chat. When they were all assembled around the room, Prue began.
"The reason that we asked to talk to you guys is very important. You see, as Paige so gracefully pointed out the other day, and as Piper pointed out today, we might not make it through this. This is something big, bigger than the war even. We're going up against the biggest power on this earth and I'm not talking about the Bringers. I'm talking about the Nexus. If turning all of them evil is enough to destroy the world, then destroying them may be enough to do that as well. We have no idea how tomorrow is going to go down, all we know is that we may not survive it. That's why we want you and the kids safe at Magic School," she said.
"You guys are kidding, right? How can you be giving up like this?" Cole asked.
"We're not giving up honey, we're being prepared," Phoebe said.
"But you're going to make it. You're the Charmed Ones. You have to," Frisco said.
"Being the Charmed Ones means nothing in the grand scheme of things. Even the Charmed Ones have a destiny, and dying in the fight tomorrow may be ours," Paige said. Prue set an envelope on the table.
"In that envelope are the deeds to P4 the club, the rights to P4 Magazine and the lease information to the building, the rights to Phoebe's show, and the title to headmaster at Magic School, which is assigned to you Leo. Everything is signed and ready. If we don't make it tomorrow, everything is yours. There will be no arguments about this," Piper said, seeing all four husbands ready to open their mouths.
"Prue, you guys, this is crazy," Andy said.
"No it's not. It's the most sane and sensible thing we've ever done. Now, we're going to say goodbye to the kids and then you're going to take them to Magic School and spend the night there," Prue said.
"We don't even get to spend the night with you?" Cole asked.
"No," Piper said.
"And what happens if you guys do die, but you don't manage to destroy the Nexus?" Leo asked.
"I don't know. There's not much we can do about it. We'll be dead," Paige said. With that they all got up to go say goodbye to their kids.
"Hey baby girl," Prue said, picking Patience up. "Listen to me, okay? Mommy has to fight a big fight tomorrow with lots of demons. If something happens, I need you to be very good for daddy and your Uncles, okay?" Prue asked. Patience nodded, not understanding what her mother was saying, but wanting to make the tears stop flowing from her eyes. Prue kissed Patience's little head and set her down. Her sisters had just finished giving their goodbyes as well.
"Take them," Piper said, handing Parker to Leo. They kissed, the others doing the same and the four husbands and kids orbed out. Paige sniffled and wiped tears from her eyes.
"Of all the goodbyes I've had to do in my life, that was the hardest," she said. Her sisters nodded.
"Well, we'd better get some sleep. We have an early start and a hard day ahead of us tomorrow," Prue said. The four of them separated, going into their separate rooms for possibly the last night ever.
Let's see who can guess what happens next chapter. I bet I can! Anyways, I hope you liked the major steel from the season finale, whether you watched it or not. It was excellent by the way. The ending was a little iffy, but it will keep me wondering for next season. I'm guessing that season 8 will be the last. They better get all of the DVDs out quick afterwards if it is, because I'll need something to watch after Charmed is over. First they took off Buffy, then they're gonna take off Charmed. What is this world coming to? At least the show will live on at Thank god for this site. Anyways, till next timeā¦
