A/N: Well, so sorry that it took so long to update… I've been fairly busy. Well, I hope all of you like this story so far and I do hope that you all continue to read it.
AllenPitt: I think that they're going to "do what they can" and if it's not good enough, then tell the Elder's to STFU. Lol. Depending on how many people want me to keep both sisters, I just might.
ZeDude: Yea, it is pretty sucky. But it is normal by "Charmed" standards.
Charmedbaby11: Thanks and I do have three other fan fictions.
P3-Charmedforever: I am and I'm glad you like it.
Chapter Three: "Do You Understand the Words That Are Coming Out Of My Mouth?"
"This is harder than I thought it would be," Paige whispered to Piper as they all sat on the couch in the living room, getting glares from Penny and Patty.
"For the sixth time, what are your names?" Grams asked impatiently.
"Well," Piper said. "I'm um… Allison, this is my cousin um… Alex," she said pointing to Phoebe. "And this is my other cousin Amy," she said pointing to Paige.
"How did you get in our attic?" She demanded.
"We'll get back to you when we find out."
"Wait!" Patty cried. "Mom, do you remember about a year ago when my daughters came back from the future to stop Nicholas? When I was pregnant with Phoebe? Those two look just like the two that came back that time. But I don't know who the third one is."
"Crap," Phoebe muttered. Patty walked over to them and hugged Phoebe and Piper.
"You look so different from last time, so much older." Patty looked over her two daughters. "Where's Prue?" she asked.
"To be honest, we don't know. And that's the way it works with time travel," Piper shrugged.
"So if you don't care, we'll be on our way," Paige said with a hopeful grin.
"Wait. We'll call my Whitelighter and see what he has to say about it." Penny suggested. "Leo!"
"Oh, crap," Phoebe muttered.
The 'hippie' version of Leo orbed in as if he had been in the past the whole time. "Yes?" he asked.
"Who is this third girl?"
"Um…. I…. don't…. know…" he said slowly.
"Leo, don't lie to me. We know who the other two are. And where's Prue?"
"She's safe. The other one is just a friend."
"Bring Prue here," Grams commanded.
Leo nodded and orbed out. He returned a few minutes later with Prue.
"My three little girls, again," Patty said hugging the three of them.
Paige sat on the couch with a frustrated look on her face. Well, how are we supposed to get things back to normal if she doesn't even know that she's pregnant with me?
"So, why are you here this time?" Patty asked.
"Um, well, we can't really tell you that right now," Phoebe said slowly.
Paige pulled Phoebe and Piper aside. "We need a spell that sends us further into the future. Right now, she doesn't even know that she's pregnant with me!"
"Fine, I'll think up a spell to get us ahead of where we are now," Phoebe said.
"Send us where we need to go
For us to show
What our mother needs to know
And let us keep it on the down low?"
Piper threw Phoebe a sideways glance. "Sorry," Phoebe replied. "It just came off the top of my head." As soon as the sentence was out of her mouth, the four sisters and Leo were whisked away as they stood in the old church.
"C'mon, let's go sit out front that way we can watch for ourselves," Piper suggested. The others nodded as they walked out front. After about forty minutes, they saw a group of three girls walking toward them. "Hi," Piper chirped.
The three girls eyed her suspiciously. "You're in our way," Little Prue told her.
"You're not allowed to go in there," Phoebe said. She and Piper looked at each other as a sudden wave of sadness washed over them. They wanted to find Paige. They wanted a life with Prue and Piper wasn't going to put up with sacrifice. She stood up.
"Let's go home," she said to the other four.
"But we have to-" Leo started.
"If the Elders want to pick a fight and not give me my boys, I'll fight but the Power of Four is going to have to do." Piper helped Prue, Phoebe and Paige off the ground. They walked away from the door and let the three girls in. "Spell?" she said turning to Phoebe.
Phoebe pulled the piece of paper out of her pocket and read it. All five were back in their own time, in their attic.
"Take me up there," Piper commanded Leo. Leo looked at her.
"You know you're not allowed up there and you know that," he replied
"I don't care. Take me there NOW!" He nodded and grabbed her hand and orbed her "Up There." She stood face-to-face with Oden, who opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Piper. "Save it. You are going to give my boys back whether you like it or not, do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? The Power of Four is for the Greater good and if it doesn't work out then fine but I don't want to hear another complaint from any of you. You are NOT going to take my boys away. I am completely done with going along with the rules. Do you remember what happened the last time that the Cleaners took away one of my sons? Well now that you have taken both, I can promise you that the consequences will be much more severe and if you thought that keeping 'the big secret' was hard before, you're going to have to deal with four very pissed off witches and two very very pissed off Whitelighters. I can't speak for Leo but I can speak for Paige and she will not be willing to help any of you any more just like the rest of us will. I am finally taking a stand for all of this. All of the innocents that we have saved and you can't even cut us a break. And I'm sure that the number will grow with the Power of Four. So here's what's going to happen, you're going to give me my boys back, you're going to modify our memories so that we still remember this but we will be able to recount the memories with Prue that we missed out on because of the orb and you will do it without complaint. Do you understand me?"
"We can't-" Oden started but was cut off by Piper.
" You want to push my buttons buster? We will unleash every demon in that Book of Shadows and laugh and watch as they overrun the world. We will not help you." Piper knew that this was an empty threat but they didn't.
"Fine," Oden said as he waved his hand and Wyatt and Chris appeared in Piper and Leo's arms. "And now," He waved his hand again. "Your and Paige's memories have been modified."
Piper smiled as the memories came flooding to her. "Thank you." She turned to leave but turned back. "Take it all away and see what happens."
Leo and Chris orbed out and Piper did so with Wyatt. They appeared in the attic. Paige ran up to Piper and hugged her. "You did it! Man, what did you say to them?"
"You don't want to know," Piper and Leo replied together. Piper set Wyatt down and smiled. She turned her back and began to walk toward Phoebe and Prue when she heard Paige scream. "Piper! Look!"
A/N: Yes, I know… a cliffie. Well, I hope you all are enjoying this story so far… I would openly take thoughts or ideas if you have them because I'm beginning to draw a blank….
