"Piper, Phoebe, where are we?" asked Paige who was at the moment astonished with what she was looking at.
"I have no idea where we are, but this sure doesn't look like home," answered Phoebe. "I mean there are flying cars and robot people everywhere. Wait. Flying cars and robot people? Paige, do you ever remember reading in the Book anything about time warps that can take us to a stereotypical future with all this stuff? It's practically like the Jetsons," said Phoebe.
"Ok, for one thing, if we are in the future, it is probably very far into the future because from what I can tell, that over there," Piper said pointing to a gold bridge with multiple driving levels, "is the Golden Gate Bridge. I don't ever remember Leo telling me that he read something in the paper about them trying to remodel the bridge like this."
"Hold on," said Paige. "If that is the Golden Gate Bridge, then we should be able to walk right back to the manor right?"
"Yes we should, Paige. But do you see anything wrong here?"asked Piper.
"No."
"Well by looking at the millions of billboards all over her and all the people walking around here, you can tell that our clothes would be very out of place," said Piper.
"So what Piper?" said Phoebe. "Let's just look around and see if this really is San Fransisco." Then peering around, Phoebe spotted a poster on the wall of some shop that had a picture of herself on it. She ran over to look at it and in shock said, "Oh my god. Is that me?"
"Wow Phoebe. That is you," said Paige who went to see what Phoebe was looking at. "But you look kind of weird with your hair like that. It's so... short."
"Yeah, and this is probably not that much farther into the future cause I don't look that much older than I do now."
"Ok sisters!" shouted Piper. "That is enough looking at a dumb poster."
'It's not dumb," said Pheobe. "It's a picture of me."
"Fine then," said Piper. "Stop looking at a picture of Phoebe and let's go home."
"Hey, Piper!" said Paige. "Before we go home, can we have a look around? I kinda want to see how much this place has changed."
"Sure, why not?" Piper answered. "Let's just not go sight seeing for too long. I want to get back home to the present before anything bad happens here."
"Where do you want to go Paige?" asked Phoebe.
"Chinatown. Looks like it's right around the corner so let's go.
"Looks like all the shops are still here except for a couple of new ones," said Piper. 'So can we go home yet Paige?"
"Ooo wait Piper," said Phoebe who was staring at a jewelry display of a triquetra necklace. Can we quickly go in there?"
"Yeah, let's go in there," said Paige who was fascinated by the necklace and by the shop itself because the shop was shaped like a triangle, it was red, and it had a marble statue of dragon brething flames at the entrance.
"Fine," snapped Piper. "But as soon as we look at it, we're leaving."
Then Piper, Phoebe, and Paige walked into the store and were amazed at what they saw. The whole shop on the inside was a brilliant blue color and it looked even more impressive especially since there were mirrors hanging from the ceiling. Then Paige and Phoebe went to look at another display when a man with white hair came in from the storeroom and said, "Hello ladies. How may I help you?"
Paige said, "We're just looking."
"Ok," said the shop keeper. "Take your time," then looking at Piper with an all to familiar smile, he said again, "take your time. You aren't interested in any jewelry?" he asked Piper looking at her with the same smile he had just given her before.
"Have we met?" asked Piper.
"This is very interesting. You are asking me if we've met?" said the shop keeper giving a raspy sort of laugh. "You really don't know who I am?" Then he smiled at Piper again.
"OH MY GOD!" shouted Piper. "Phoebe, Paige! THE SHOP KEEPER IS BARBUS! Let's get out of here!"
"What? But isn't Barbus that demon who kills people using what they're afraid of? I thought that we already vanquished him," said Paige.
"Apparently not," said Phoebe."Come let's get out of here!"
"Nope, I'm sorry ladies," Barbus said to Phoebe and Piper. "You are not going anywhere." Then he pressed a red button and four demons shimmered into the shop. Before Piper could blow them up or Phoebe could use some of her martial arts on them, one of the demons threw an energy ball at them which knocked the two of them unconsious. Then another one of the demons grabbed Piper and Phoebe and shimmered away.
Then the demon who had thrown the energy ball looked at Paige, who began panicking, and said, "What do we do with this one Barbus?"
"Get her and see if she knows where the third sister is," Barbus said giving a raspy sort of laugh again.
"Oh no you don't!" said Paige and before anyone could get her, she orbed out of the shop.
"A whitelighter hmm... she could be useful but whitelighters are already dead in a way so there would be no fun in trying to kill her. Still, go and find her." Then the demon who had knocked Piper and Phoebe unconsious and another demon went to look for Paige. After settling himself down in a chair, Barbus then said to the remaining demon, "Finally, I can live the rest of my life in partial peace knowing that two of the Charmed Ones have been captured."
"But," said the demon, whose name was Justin, "didn't He give explicit orders that all three of the the Charmed Ones should be captured?"
"I've got two of them, it's only a matter of time before I get the third one," replied Barbus.
"As high a rank as you have, you are not in the position to question Him. If He finds out that you've only got two of them, He will be extremely upset," Justin said.
"You know what would make me extermemly upset?" asked Barbus. "If you went like a baby and tattle tailed to Him. So to make sure that that does not happen, we'll see what you are really afraid of." The raising his hand over Justin, he said, "Fire? How can an upper level demon be afraid of fire?" Suddenly there was a ring of fire from the ceiling of the shop and before Justin could escape, he was engulfed in the flames. He gave one scream and the fire was gone leaving him dead with his hair all white.
Meanwhile, Paige who had just orbed out of the shop was running down an alley when two of the demons from Barbus's shop shimmered right in front of her. They said, "We know that you are the Charmed Ones' whitelighter. We could make all of this easy for you and let you go if you tell us where the third sister is or if you chose to make it hard for us, we'll take you to Barbus and after you tell him where the third sister is, he can kill you."
"If you are talking about Piper and Phoebe's sister, that would be me otherwise if you aren't, I can't help you! Paige shouted.
"Nice joke," said one of the demons, "but everyone knows what the infamous Charmed Ones look like."
"And now," said the other demon whose name was Derick, "since you won't tell us where the third sister is, we'll just have to take you to Barbus."
"Not this time," retorted Paige. She orbed behind the two demons and began running. Suddenly, while she was running, a tall man with extememly blond hair stepped out from another connecting alley and threw an energy ball at her which missed her by an inch. The energy ball made her stop and before she could start running again, the tall blond man shimmered next her, grabbed her hands and put a knife to her throat.
"I've got her Derick!" shouted the tall blond man.
"Well done Luke," said Derick. "Take her to Barbus's layer." Then he and the other demon shimmered away to Barbus's to tell him that Luke had gotten Paige.
"Ok," said Luke, "I won't hurt you if you come with me quietly." Hearing no reply from Paige, he said, "I guess that means you will." Then looking around the alley to make sure that no one was there, Luke shimmered away still keeping the knife at Paige's throat.
