Picks up right where the season finale left off.
Blah, blah, blah, I don't own Charmed, blah, blah, blah.
Piper loved walking with her arm linked through Leo's. She glanced at his face, and was momentarily startled. I'll have to get used to the glamouring, she thought to herself. She and Leo and her sisters walked for a few blocks when Paige asked suddenly, "What are we doing?"
"We're going to Dad's to pick up the boys. You know that," Phoebe answered.
"I mean, what are we doing?" Paige repeated. "We have no identities anymore. No Social Security numbers, no drivers' licenses, nothing. How are any of us going to make a living? What are we gonna do? Just keep up the glamours for the rest of our lives? When we die, we'll revert to our normal selves anyway, which is going to cause a heck of a lot of confusion to whomever finds us. And do you guys even have your powers anymore? We don't know if vanquishing Zankou restored them or not."
Piper rolled her eyes. "Could we maybe deal with just one thing at a time? First, we're getting Chris and Wyatt. Then, we'll figure everything else out."
"I'm just saying..." Paige started. Piper shook her head vigorously, and Paige wisely kept her mouth shut after that.
The foursome arrived at Victor's house and rang the bell. Victor answered the door, holding Chris and feeding him a bottle. "Hi, baby," Piper cooed at her son. "Look, Mommy's back!"
"Who the hell are you?" Victor demanded. Chris, startled at his grandfather's raised voice, began to cry.
"Dad, it's us," Piper said, holding her arms out for Chris.
Victor backed away. "You're not touching him," he said menacingly.
"Oh!" cried Piper. "Right, the glamour." After shutting the door behind her, she snapped her fingers, and a swirl of white lights surrounded her as she regained her normal appearance. Her sisters followed suit, changing Leo back as well.
Victor's eyes widened. "You know, we really should have some secret word or something, so we don't have to go through this every time."
After Piper and Leo were able to tear themselves away from their sons, the five adults sat down. Piper, Paige, and Phoebe brought Victor up-to-date on the events of the day.
"So you've faked your own deaths," Victor said disbelievingly.
"Hence the new looks," Phoebe confirmed.
"But what are you going to do? You don't have any identities. How are you going to get jobs?" Victor demanded.
"That's what I said," Paige answered smugly. She turned to look at her sisters, who refused to meet her gaze, or their father's.
"Piper, you need health insurance for the boys. Did you think about any of the practical ramifications of what you did?" Victor continued, increasingly agitated.
"Sorry, Dad, we were a little busy saving the world," Pheobe retorted.
"But if everyone thinks you're dead, won't the demons be more likely to come after --"
Victor's comment was cut off by screams coming from the guest-room-turned-nursery.
"-- the boys?" Victor finished, as the girls sprinted down the hall.
Two human-like demons with blood-red eyes stood meancingly over the crib. Evidently, Wyatt had orbed himself inside the crib with Chris, and had put up his protective shield around both of them. The demons were attempting to pierce it with their talon-like fingers, so focused on their task that they didn't notice the arrivals of three more people in the room.
"Get the hell away from them!" Piper yelled. The demons looked up and paled considerably. Piper instinctively flung out her hands, and one of the demons exploded, howling as he disintegrated. The other demon flared out immediately, not wanting to face a similar fate.
"Guess that answers one question," Piper said, satisfied that her powers had been restored.
"Actually, it answers two questions," Paige said.
"What do you mean?" Phoebe asked.
"I mean," Paige answered, "that we know what we're going to do now. We might as well reclaim our identities, so we're going to have to figure out how to explain that we weren't in the manor when the explosion happened. And we're not going to be in our early 20s anymore, either."
"What are you talking about?" Piper asked.
Paige answered, "Hello-o? That demon is going to tell the entire Underworld that the Charmed Ones are still around."
"What?" Phoebe and Piper cried in unison.
Paige looked at them, and they slowly looked down.
"We forgot to put the glamour back on," Phoebe said. "Which means..."
"...We're ba-ack," Paige sing-songed.
