Author's Note: Keeping this short, thank you all for reading and I hope you are enjoying the story!
Halliwell Manor-Future
Prue and Piper enter the foyer, to see Paige and Andy.
Paige now has long, light black hair, which is straight. Andy looks the same, only older, but now is more buffer. He's definitely been hitting the gym. Well-defined muscles and abs definitely suit him!
"Oh My God! Andy!" cries Prue, as she walks over and hugs him.
"Hi, Prue," says Andy. "You know I only saw you a couple of hours ago."
"How you feeling, honey?" asks Paige.
"How am I feeling?" asks Prue, confused.
"Yeah, I mean you are 3 months pregnant," says Paige, looking at everyone.
"She's having memory troubles," says Ryan.
"So, is mommy," says Wyatt.
"She didn't know who we were before," explains Melinda.
"Paige, are you having any memory problems?" asks Leo, coming down the stairs. "Maybe it's a Power of Three thing."
Leo looks the same, but now is he is much buffer. He has muscles on his arms, legs, and chest. Leo also has a six-pack and well-defined abs!
'Damn, Leo gets hotter,' thinks Piper.
"No, I'm fine," says Paige.
"Botched spell?" offers Andy.
"Daddy, can we go play?" Katie asks Ryan.
"Yeah, sure, go ahead," says Ryan, as Melinda, Katie, and Wyatt run off to play.
"Clay and I have news!" squeals Kelly, happily.
"Do share," says Paige, smiling.
"We're engaged!" says Kelly, proudly showing off her engagement ring.
The room erupts in screams, as everyone congratulates the newly engaged couple.
"Excuse us," says Prue, as she drags Piper into the kitchen.
"What's wrong with them?" asks Ryan.
"I'll go talk with them," says Paige, as she walks into the kitchen. She was very worried about her sisters. Paige had never seen them act so strangely!
Paige enters and sees Prue and Piper.
"Guys, what's going on?" asks Paige, concern evident in her voice.
"Nothing, really, we're just feeling a little off," says Piper.
"Guys, you'd tell me if there was something wrong, right?" asks Paige.
"Of course," lies Prue. Truth be told, neither she nor Piper knew Paige very well nor did they know what type of relationship the three sisters had in this time.
"So, how close are we exactly?" asks Piper.
"And are you married to Andy?" asks Prue.
"See, its questions like those that scare me," says Paige, rubbing her temples. "Piper, the 3 of us have become extremely close since we became sisters. And yes, Prue, Andy and I are married. We've been married for 5 years already."
Paige eyes her sisters, questioningly. "What aren't you guys telling me?"
"We just need to get to the Book," says Prue, as she and Piper walk right past Paige and head to the attic.
Paige orbs out.
Prue and Piper enter the attic, to find Paige already there.
"How the hell did you get up here?" asks Piper.
"I orbed," says Paige.
Paige blocks the way to the Book.
"Paige, let us through," says Prue.
"No, you will not get to the Book until you tell me what's going on. And that's final!" says Paige, stubbornly.
Prue and Piper both recognized the stubborn trait. It was a trait that both Prue and Phoebe also possessed.
"Ok, fine," says Piper, as Prue eyes her. "Prue, she's on to us."
"Yes, I am. I'm very intuitive," says Paige, grinning.
They sit on the couch in the attic.
"You see, Paige, earlier Prue and I cast a spell to see our futures and our memory losses are the backfire," explains Piper.
"Well, obviously, that is so personal gain," says Paige. "The first rule you guys taught me about being a witch is never to use my powers for personal gain."
"Right, we know," says Prue, getting where Piper's going with this. "So, we need the Book to cast the spell to reverse it."
"How do you reverse it? Didn't you already see the future?" asks Paige.
"Um, no, we keep seeing images of the future in our mind. But, there's a reversal spell in the Book," says Piper.
"Ok, I'm gonna go check on the kids" says Paige, orbing out.
Prue and Piper head over to the Book and open up to the Return spell.
"Take us back from whence we came,
To time and place that isn't the same,
Let past be present,
That time regain," recite Prue and Piper aloud and in unison.
Nothing happens.
"It didn't work!" exclaims Piper.
"Yeah, but, why didn't it work?" asks Prue, worried.
"Maybe we need the Power of Three," suggests Piper.
"No, we didn't need it to cast the spell, we shouldn't need it to reverse it either," says Prue.
"Then, maybe we're not done here yet. Maybe the Elders won't let us go back until we see or do something," offers Piper.
"I think you're right," says Prue.
Suddenly, Prue makes the noise she makes when she astralprojects.
"Prue?" questions Piper, as Prue's body seems lifeless.
Halliwell Manor-Present
Ryan, Kelly, and Clay are in the living room.
"So, we all set to save Paige?" asks Kelly.
"All set," says Ryan.
Suddenly, they see Prue astralproject in.
"Prue?" questions Clay.
"Yeah it's me," says Prue.
"But, how?" asks Kelly, confused.
"She astralprojected," says Leo, orbing in.
"Wait, I have a new power?" asks Prue, confused.
"Well, you will. Your present self doesn't, but, your future self does," explains Leo.
"That's so cool," says Prue. "Anyway, Piper and I saw our futures and we tried to cast the Return spell but it didn't work."
"What, why wouldn't it work?" Clay asks, panicked.
"Is it the power behind the spell?" asks Ryan.
"No, it's not," explains Leo. "The Elders wouldn't let Prue and Piper cast the spell because they haven't seen or done something they're supposed to yet."
"But, how will they know what the thing is?" asks Ryan, concerned for the women he loves and her sister.
"Well, once whatever it is happens, they will automatically be brought back," says Leo.
"But, Leo, isn't there any other way?" asks Prue, frantically. "The thing might not happen for a couple of days and Piper and I need to get back here to reconstitute the Power of Three."
"Wait, how much have you seen?" asks Kelly.
"Everything. Apparently, Paige is rescued and the Power of Three is reconstituted," explains Prue.
"Prue, when you and Piper have seen or done whatever it is you're meant to, you will automatically return," says Leo. He wishes her could give Prue more answers, but that was all he knew himself!
"Leo, we looked at the Return spell in the Book, and the last line is, 'That time regain'. Wouldn't that mean they would return right when they cast the spell?" asks Clay, remembering the conversation he, Kelly, and Ryan had earlier.
"If they would've cast the spell, then quite possibly. But, the Elders will bring them back to what moment is happening at that time," explains Leo.
"Ok, I feel like I'm being pulled away," says Prue.
"We're going to save Paige," says Ryan, referring to himself, Kelly, and Clay.
"Be careful!" says Prue, as her astral form disappears.
Halliwell Manor-Future
Prue astrals back into her body, and you hear the sound symbolizing she's back in her body.
"Prue, what the hell happened?" asks Piper.
"I astralprojected. It's one of my future powers," Prue tells her.
"Where'd you go?" asks Piper.
"To our time," explains Prue. "I saw Clay, Kelly, Ryan, and Leo. And we were right. The Elders won't send us back until we see or do something. And they were off to save Paige."
"Ok, well, saving Paige is good. But, how the hell do we get home?" asks Piper, out loud.
Anthony orbs in. He looks pretty much the same, only a little older and a little buffer.
"Prue, Piper, good. I need to talk to you guys and Paige. There's a big problem!" Anthony tells them.
"Ok, um, we'll meet you downstairs," says Piper.
"I'll orb you," offers Anthony, extending his hand.
Prue takes it and Piper takes her hand and they orb out.
