A/N: This title is a play on, "Time And Again". Sorry guys, this chapter is rather short because I've caught a nasty little cold which has kept me hacking all night and I don't feel good. GuevaraX5452:Really? You thought that was quickly? Well, I try to update as soon as Ipossibly can. Thanks for the recommendations:) I wrote that challenge fic, it's called, "Nevermore". charmedsisters: Yes, in my opinion (and in my stories) Paige and Piper will always be the strongest witches. Piper because I just feel that she has the most powerful abilities and Paige because she's the only sisters who's doubly magical. Prince Halliwell: Actually, I'm not sure how long it'll last yet. I'm not done writing it. The-Cheese-Fairy: Yeah, it just came to me when I was writing. I can just see Paige saying that and then suddenly the mental image was just there and it went from there to my fingertips. LOL And HA! "The hot girls"! That's hilarious. You sound like you've got yourself quite a friend there! Which Charmed One is his favorite? RJF:wipes away a tear: I created my own Paige/Glenn fan? Oh! I'm so proud:-D Yes, actually, you'll be seeing a "power burst" VERY soon :) peanut2lb: Oh, I hate that. When FFN is being so agrivating. As far as Piper's powers, it won't be earthquakes (Alternate Paige was saying that her Piper has that power), but it will be very useful in the upcoming chapters. If they can get out of the upcoming bind.

Every Halliwell Counts
Chapter 5: Thyme And Again

"Okie dokie." Piper said, proudly holding up a clear potion. "It's main ingredient is thyme."

"Well, Piper, you did make it.." Phoebe uttered.

"No!" Piper snapped. "The herb."

"But you've gotta admit, that is a good play on words."

Ignoring her youngest middle Charmed One, Piper pocketed the potion. "So, we have to summon them now."

"Too bad Parker isn't here yet." Phoebe said, remembering her future granddaughter and her power of psychokinetic orb-shimmering.

"Yeah." Piper sighed. "Do you have the spell?"

"I got 'em both." Phoebe grinned, pulling out both of the spells; summoning and vanquishing. "We'll need Emma, Wyatt, and Chris' help too."

Alternate Paige and Glenn came down the stairs. "What's going on?"

"What's up?" Prue asked, pointing her fingers at the pair.

"Just talking." Glenn interrupted. "Now, about the demons?"

"I was just saying that we'll need your guys' help."

"Oh." Alternate Paige said, waving her arm and orbing her nephews and good friend into the room.

Emma looked around. "Whoa..Is something wrong?"

"No, we just need to do a spell." Glenn answered.

Moments later, the remaining children came bustling down the stairs.

"Emma?" Persia called, locating the woman with her mother and aunts.

"Hey, we were just about to call you all. We have to do a spell." Emma said, motioning for Persia and the rest of the children to complete the circle that the witches had already formed.

Once the circle was completed, everyone followed Phoebe's lead in a powerful chant. The house began to rattle, small ceramicitems came crashing from shelves, and anstatic energy filled the air. Then a whipping windwizzed across the faces of the room's inhabitants. Lava began to seep from the pores of the carpet, forming into monsterous hybrid demons, side by side. Each carried an amused facial expression.

"Piper, hurry!" Prue said, squinting her eyes.

But the triplets were quicker. They sped aroud the room faster than lightning, leaving chaos in their wake.

Piper's hand wiggled its way into her pocket, when the blurring motions stopped and her terrified eyes scanned the room. Where am I? She thought, as she saw the blank walls of a pristine white room. Then she realized that 3 pairs of wild eyes were watching her, standing around her. "Oh God!" She gasped, realizing that the hybrid demons had taken her away from her sisters, without her even realizing it. Her stomach began to churn, as vile crept its way up towards her mouth. She wanted to cry out; scream for her sisters and Leo, but she knew it would be to no avail.

"Once you're dead, there will be nothing to stop us!" One of the triplet hybirds spoke, as his slender arm rose with amazing speed.

"No!" Piper screamed, whipping both hands out and clasping her eyes shut, hoping for a miracle.
