Princess Pinky: No Andy isn't a woman just Cole. Fast fingers are to blame for the typos. Yes, Mandela is still the only demon that has the power to vanquish him. Thanks to everyone else for taking the time to review

Eternally Charmed: Invasion of the Body Snatcher

"Wait a minute what happened the Zola?" Piper brushed her hair away from her face as Leo set her to her feet.

"The Elder's have located him, and he'll be fine" Leo answered, as the rest of the family gathered around his wife, welcoming her safely back home.

"Oh sweetie, we were so worried about you" Prue and Phoebe immediately hugged their sister, while Paige remained in the background. Piper held her sisters for several moments before pulling away.

""I'm fine it's Cole we need to worry about." The four sisters stood in awe eyeing Cole or Colleen up and down in disbelief. Embarrassed over their gawking, Cole began to blush with rosey red cheeks.

"He's a woman?" Paige's face became all screwy while her sister Prue seemed to be unfazed.

"So why didn't he turn back once the Succubus was vanquished?" The oldest Charmed one was curious as why Cole had not reverted. When Prue had been turned into a man, the spell was broken when it was no longer needed.

"Don't worry Cole sweetie, you're beautiful just the way you are!"

"I don't want to be beautiful!" He protested in a high voice, I want my own figure back.

"Oh Honey, I'll get it back, I promise" Phoebe spoke in baby talk as she reached up and pinched Cole's cheek, letting her opposite hand slide behind his neck. Reacting naturally, Cole dipped his head offering a peck. "I love you"

"Ewe!" Paige turned her head. She couldn't stand to watch them kiss as a normal couple, forget the new wave couple they'd just become. "Well I guess this is one way the Elders can be assured that they won't be having any babies."

"Pheebs, I always knew you had a wild side" Piper quipped to Leo while Prue shook her head.

"Okay this is too much for me, Demon baby and I will be in the bedroom if you need me"

"We love you too, Prue!" Phoebe cajoled breaking the kiss, prompting Prue to wave over her shoulder. Slowly she made her way to the room she shared with Andy.

"Andy?" Prue called wrapping on the door softly, "why is the door locked?"

"Inside the bedroom, Andy stood before the mirror, talking to his reflection. "If you get out of my body right now, my wife might let you live" Shaking his head, the reflection laughed and transformed into the demonic female tracer, Mandela.

"Oh somehow I doubt that. If I know the witch, she'll want to see you live" Mandela was Andy's female counterpart from the other side. The two were genetically bred by the same magic, one good, the other evil. Vanquished by Prue when the witch had become pregnant with Amanda, Mandela had been raised by the sources hand for single purpose; to protect Ayleia and ensure her connection to evil.

"Prue will do what she has to do to protect the greater good," Andy growled fighting the female tracer hand in hand. Now, a spirit, Mandela was much stronger than what he remembered. Still he needed to think of something. Reaching for the dagger that Prue kept on the dresser, Andy was able to use it against Mandela by driving it into his own abdomen.

"That wasn't nice" She spat, "not to mention a little stupid" Mandela pulled the dagger out and will it away smiling admiringly her new reflection as it shifted back into Andy. "It's a good thing this body is in such good shape. I wonder how long I keep it this way?" After a while sharing the same physical body would become a problem if one of them didn't die soon.

Outside the door, Prue was growing impatient. "Andy are you talking to someone?" Telekinetically, Prue attempted to open the door by squinting.

"NO Prue!" Andy gained temporary control and shoved the door closed blocking Prue's entrance.

"Andy what is going on?" The door swung back nearly catching Prue's fingers. "Are you trying to hide something from me?" Now irritated Prue jiggled the doorknob to find it again locked. "Andy Trudeau you open this door right now!"

Without waiting for an answer, Prue waved her hand using mammoth force

"I can't!" Andy tried to shout only to have Mandela's spirit overtake his slightly weakened state. Disguised as Andy Mandela plastered a fake smile on her face. "Sorry sweetheart, I-"

Spotting the blood on Andy's shirt Prue didn't give her a chance to finish. "Oh my God, you're bleeding" Concerned Prue reached out to inspect the wound, causing Mandela/Andy to back away.

"It's nothing, I just got into a firefight on the astral plane" Mandela/Andy hedged.

"This looks bad, LEO!"

"Leo?" Mandela/Andy's eyes grew wide. She couldn't afford for the whitelighter to try and heal her. He would probably sense the evil trapped inside the tracer immediately. "That's really not necessary, it's just a flesh wound, not like I can die from it, right?"

"Stop trying to an action hero" Prue gave him a sour smile before poking her head out the door and calling for Leo once more.

"Wrong" Andy's voice droned in her head causing the demonic tracer to growl.

"Shut-up or I swear, I'll wipe your so called Angelic ones off the face of the earth!"

"Did you just tell me to shut up?" Prue pulled her head back inside looking miffed.

Mandela forced Andy's mouth shut as he tried to speak. The tracers eyes brightened when Leo appeared.

"Now you're going to get it" Andy sneered. In a moment Leo would sense Mandela's presence and it would all be over. Prue would find a way to save him and protect any harm from coming to their daughters.

"What happened?" Leo gazed baffled as Prue instructed Andy to sit in the bedside chair and began to work the buttons on his shirt to expose the wound.

"I guess Cole's energy ball took a litte more out of you than we thought" Leo dropped to his knees placing his hands directly over the wound.

Nervous Mandela pulled Andy's six-pack abdominal muscle's inward to try and avoid the whitelighter healing. Unable to call out to Prue Andy sighed inwardly, feeling Mandela's stress. Mandela began to search frantically for a way out, as the whitelighter's hands fell upon the real tracer's body.

"You okay?" Leo asked feeling the tracer's heart racing "I'm feeling something kind of strange here."

"I'm fine" Mandela/Andy answered.

"Any second now and your toast" Andy beamed into her mind unknowing that she had just stumbled upon the key to her salvation.

"What is this a new power?" Mandela asked feeling a power foreign power, a power which she did not have. "So the Elder's have given you the power to mask!" Well known in her previous life for her quick wit and intelligence, Mandela quickly tapped into the power and manipulated it to her advantage by covering up her own spiritual DNA.

Prue noticed the worry on Leo's face. "Is everything all right"

Leo swallowed and pulled his hands away, at the healing of the wound. "I just felt something strange for a moment, just a little residue from Cole's energy ball I guess"

Prue nodded, remaining on her knees as Leo rose to his feet. "I've got to get back to the attic and help Piper with Cole"

"I'll be there soon" Prue smiled resting her head on Andy's lap. "Are you sure you're all right?" Unable to pinpoint it, Prue sensed something was amiss.

Hesitating, Mandela forced, Andy's hand into the raven beauty's hair. "I just thinking" she managed to mutter.

"That demon baby is suddenly letting me touch you?" Prue raised her eyes smiling; maybe she could control this baby afterall. Little did she know that Ayleia was sensing the evil that had taken over her father and was feeding upon it's comfort.

Angered by Prue's remark, Mandela/Andy rose to her feet. "Do not refer to her as demon baby! She is the heiress to the dark realm!"

"All the more reason we should strip her of her powers" Prue's eyes became the size of angry saucers over the tone of Andy's voice then regulated as she too, stood. "Andy, I know this is your child but we can't…

"Her name is Ayleia" Mandela/Andy finished calming the tracer's voice, "maybe it's possible we could use her powers to serve the greater good"

"Ayleia" Sill in disagreement Prue let out a deep sigh and turned towards the door. It was then she noticed the bloody dagger sitting on the dresser and picked it up, "Uh how did you hurt yourself again? I thought you said it was from Cole's energy ball"

"It was one of Dantalian's men…he wanted revenge" The tracer demon stumbled quickly.

Prue's eyes narrowed. "There was demon in the house and you didn't say anything? Andy the girls-"

"Are fine" Mandela/Andy finished calmly "He wasn't after them, he wanted me"

"You?" It was commonplace for the demons to attack the manor, so Prue thought nothing of it, with the exception, of Andy's answer. "The Source probably thinks the best way to protect Alyeia is by getting to me through-

"Me" Mandela/Andy answered again. Playing the part well, Mandela/Andy stepped up to Prue running Andy's thumb across Prue's cheek. "Prue it's okay, I vanquished him"

Prue smiled again, placing her hand on the side of his cheek, "Andy I would die if anything were to happen to you again"

"What a blessing that would be" Mandela retorted snidely to Andy as Prue pressed up to her tip-toes to kiss the tracer, causing the baby inside of her womb to kick excitedly.

Prue looked down at her stomach beaming, "I think she might be actually warming up to me". She then gave Andy's hand a squeeze and went to check on her sister's progress with Cole.

"Don't bet on it" Mandela told the mirror, seeing her female form gazing back at her.
