Piper stared at Prue in disbelief.
"For how long, where's Sunnydale and why do we have to go there?" Paige asked, equally as stunned as Piper.
"You have to go there for three reasons." Prue began.
"One, because that is where the gateway is forged, two because the elders sense a great mystical power in Sunnydale which can aid you in your mission to destroy Argok and three because he has recently learnt where you live and you are in no way ready to fight him. In fact, he is probably on his way right now so I'd get going if I were you."
Phoebe gulped and tried to take it all in.
"So Prue where will we stay?" Asked Phoebe anxiously.
"When you first enter Sunnydale you turn right and then keep going straight and take the second turn on the left. You will see a street with about ten houses in it. Yours is the fourth one on the right side. It is made of red brick and is two storeys. It is house number 49. You should find the keys concealed underneath the doormat." Prue replied.
"Also, because it was not your personnel choice to leave, all expenses of the house have been taken care of by the elders."
"But what about my job, my friends, MY LIFE!" Piper yelled in agony.
"I'll be leaving everything behind."
"I'm sorry." Sighed Prue,
"but there is no other option."
"PRUE! You do not just tell me something like this and expect me to be ok with it! How am I supposed to cope? You have put the weight of the world on our shoulders and it's already begun destroying our lives!" yelled Piper passionately.
"I have to agree with Piper." Said Phoebe defensively.
"Yeah!" agreed Paige.
"I mean what are we supposed to do when we get there? There are so many things to think about, getting new jobs, finding new friends, let alone killing a demon that nobody has so much as looked at without being burnt to a crisp – literally." Phoebe said seriously.
"And what are we going to do with Grams' old place?" Paige asked with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Try to stay calm, don't overreact." Said Prue calmly.
"Overreact? Given the circumstances I think that we are all under reacting, I mean what do you expect me to do? Say that I'm fine with leaving my life behind because Prue, I am far from it." Uttered Piper strongly.
"Piper, Phoebe, Paige listen to me. If you don't go then you are putting more lives at stake – including your own." Prue exclaimed trying to reason with the trio.
"Since when have you three ever turned down saving an innocent?" asked Prue.
"Because by staying here you are refusing to help the helpless." Prue finished dramatically.
Paige wiped a tear from the corner of her eye.
"I hate to say this guys but she's right. All of us in this room were born with the gift of magic. Why did we get it? So we could help the innocent. We need to help those less fortunate then us." Sighed Paige. Piper and Phoebe stared at each other for a second before realising that both Paige and Prue were right. Piper sighed and then through clenched teeth, she muttered, "When do we leave?"
"Now." Said Prue shortly.
"My message is complete. Goodbye, I love you." Said Prue as she clicked her fingers and disappeared.
"So that was Prue huh?" asked a stunned Paige.
"In the flesh." Replied Phoebe.
"Not literally of course seeing as though she was dead … argh, you know what I mean." Said Phoebe. Piper began to cry silently.
"You guys!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"You heard what Phoebe said, Argok is coming now so lets go!" and with that Phoebe ran downstairs to grab a bag and start packing.
That afternoon was filled with packing and more packing. After everything the sisters needed had been stowed in a box or bag the sisters realised that they would have to get going if they were to escape Argok. Piper picked up the bags closest to her and began loading the car. It took about an hour and a half for the sisters to cram whatever would fit into the vehicle and by that time Phoebe was getting seriously worried.
"Guys we have to leave now, Argok could be here any second!" Phoebe said exasperatedly.
"Yes Phoebe I am aware of the situation at hand, we'll leave in five minutes we just have to check that we haven't forgotten anything!" Paige yelled.
"I'll just go get Wyatt, I let him sleep while we were packing but I think Phoebe has got a point we have to leave now – Wyatt can sleep in the car." Said Piper firmly.
In five minutes flat, the Charmed One's were on the road. The journey took three hours and by the time the sisters had passed the 'Welcome to Sunnydale sign' all three of them were starving.
"Ok, Ok we'll call for a pizza when we get there!" Piper yelled out of exasperation after Phoebe and Paige had said for the umpteenth time that they were hungry. Piper followed Prue's directions exactly and then drove up the driveway of their new house.
"So this is our new home." Said Paige Piper and Phoebe in unison as they walked up the white cement driveway and pushed open the oak wood door to reveal their new house.
