A/N: This is a play on that old show, "Three's Company."

RJF: Hehe, you totally left the longest review and that means that you rock my little pink socks! ;) I'm glad you like Chasey poo, as you'll be seeing more of him. I'm actually having a lot of fun with all the possibilities for his character and I thought it was about time for Phiona to get a bit of a power boost (and before anyone asks, I'm still working out the kinks with Persia's powers, plus,I don't want to add too many powers/power advancementsall at once).

damien455: Aww, thank you. :)

The-Cheese-Fairy: Isn't it more like, "Blessed his cotton socks"? ;) Me too, I talk a lot about stuff that happened when Prue was around, but I usually don't have a good place to add in stuff that Prue wasn't there for, so that's fun when I get the chance. (P.S. Yeah, I read a spoiler for it. But I'm confused too, how the hell can they get together so fast? And who's the returning character? I know Sam and Agent Murphy appear in the episode after that, though.)

chyp: Don't worry, I'm not like the show (who always take the easy way out), Phiona will still shoot orbs from her hands. ;)

Prince Halliwell: Actually, Phiona's power advancement will be explained in this chapter. It's not a "new power," just an extension of her orb-telekinesis.

moonfirefairy: Hopefully better than her mother does.

Phyre: Really? Me too. Their relationship is gonna be pretty special. Haha, you're not being annoying. Really, I can be that way too, so it doesn't bother me.

Every Halliwell Counts

Chapter 37: Power Of Three's Company

Phoebe laughed nervously, digging around in her purse.

"Excuse me," an irate customer behind the witch grumbled angrily.

"One moment please," the psionic said with a tight smile as she rummaged through her purse. "R-right here!" She said triumphantly, pulling out her wallet and slapping a ten dollar bill on the counter.

"Thank you," the Chinese man behind the counter replied with a thick accent. He bagged Phoebe's dragon scale and handed her the change. "Thank you for coming.."

"Mhmm," the psychic chirped as she grabbed the bag and change before scurrying past the irritated customer behind her.

"How's she doin'?" Prue asked, walking into the living room with a cold cloth and a tray of ham and cheese sandwiches.

"Still out cold," Piper said as she removed the cold wash cloth and took the new one from her elder sister.

"That's probably a good thing," the raven haired Charmed One noted as she sat the tray down on the table and sat down on a puffy armchair. "Heard from Phoebe yet?"

"Nope." Piper grabbed a sandwich and began to nibble at the edge, a habit she'd had for years. "Heard from Paige?"

Prue shook her head. "No, she's still talking with The Elders."

The brunette wrinkled her nose. "Nothing good can come of that."

Ripples appeared in the center of the room.

"Prue!" Piper yelled, dropping her sandwich and raising her hands.

"It's okay! It's okay!" Cole yelled, materializing with Pam in his arms.

"Don't do that!" Piper chastised, grabbing her sandwich from the floor and placing it on the tray.

"Sorry," the half demon said apologetically. "But we were wondering if you'd heard from Phoebe yet?"

"We were just talking about that," Piper informed, "and no."

Cole leaned down, setting his daughter on the floor, and then pulling back to his full height. "We went to the Underworld, but I they're all very tight lipped about why that specific breed went after your innocent."

"What's her name?" Pam asked, staring at the woman curiously.

"Nicolette," Piper said as she pulled a black wallet with a glittery red cherry on the front. "I found it in her side pocket. "She's seventeen, almost eighteen."

"Mommy!" Pandora screeched, running into the room and throwing her arms around Prue.

"Hey sweetie," Prue grinned as she swooped the little girl into her arms. "Did you have fun with daddy and Uncle Glenn?"

Pandora nodded, the sides of her mouth covered in sticky chocolate ice cream. "Where are they?"

"Getting Prissy out of da car," the telepath replied.

Muddled arguing could be heard, as Andy and Glenn made their way into the room.

"What's going on?" Piper asked, looking curiously at her brothers-in-law.

Glenn scooted the toddler back into Andy's arms. "I changed her last time, man, it's your turn!"

"You're disgusted over changing my baby?" Piper asked, placing her hands squarely on her hips.

Andy smiled lightly. "Ya know what, not at all! I'll be happy to change Priss. It's Glenn who has the problem!" The Inspector said, pointing to his buddy. After all, a mere mortal did not want to get in the way of a witch who couldn't control her powers and there was a one in three chance that those powers could send him to oblivion.

"Oh no! You aren't laying that on me," Glenn said, waving his arms at Andy. "I changed her earlier, I'm just saying that we should share the wealth! Besides, I told him not to get her that extra scoop of peanut butter fudge." With that, he scurried by the stairs.

"Oh, just give her to me!" Piper fumed, grabbing her child from Andy and following Glenn's path up the stairs.

"Who's that?" Andy asked, finally noticing the young woman on the sofa.

"Apparently she's Nicolette," the telekinetic replied. She flicked her wrist, forcing the wallet from the table to fly into Andy's chest. "Can you take that and run a background search on her, please?"

"Sure." Andy sighed, heading back for the door. "I'll be back soon."

"I'll call you!" Prue yelled, before her husband disappeared out the door. Her head swiveled in Cole's direction, not liking that it was only her, him, and their two children in the room. "Did you need something?"

Cole's nostrils seemed to flair slightly, holding his tongue as he stared at the deadly witch. "No, just tell Phoebe to call me when she gets here." He reached down, taking Pam's hand. "Come on, Pam. We still have your English homework to work on."

Pam scrunched up her face. "But dad!" She let out, before vanishing in her father's demonic shimmers.

Phoebe shifted her vehicle into park and pulled the emergency break on, as she hard parked on the hill in front of the Manor. Unbuckling her seatbelt with one hand, she reached for the small paper bag with another. But as her fingertips connected with the bag, her mind was rocketed with a powerful vision.

----Premonition----

A tall man clad in a royal blue suit and shiny black dress shoes stood in the Manor. He looked around, as if slightly confused, and then he saw a figure stirring on the sofa. The stranger moved briskly over to the sofa and he placed his hand over the stomach of the innocent. A silver beam emitted from his hand, blasting into the girl.

Suddenly Prue walked into the room, her face contorting in anger, and she flicked her wrist to send the stranger flying across the room.

----Premonition----

"Oh oh!" Phoebe squeaked, grabbing the bag and fleeing the car. "Prue! Prue!" She yelled as she ran through the double doors of the Manor and burst in to see the man from her vision walking towards the girl. "Oh no you don't!" She yelled, levitating into a spin kick and landing a blow to the man's side, forcing him across the room before bringing herself to the ground.

At that moment, the raven haired witch burst into the room. "Oh my Goddess, Phoebe! What's going on?"

"He was gonna hurt her, I saw it in my vision!" Phoebe exclaimed, pointing to the stirring innocent.

"No, wait!" The man yelled.

"Too late!" Prue exclaimed, squinting her eyes and sending the man hurling into the wall.

Phoebe headed for the man, but just as she reached him, he vanished in a plume of silver dust. As she turned around, the man reappeared next to the innocent. "Prue!"

"Oh no you don't!" Prue flung out her arm again.

The man shot out his arm, a silver emitting from his palm. Unfortunately he was thrown into the air as it did so, causing the beam to fly over its intended target and straight into Prue's abdomen.

"What the hell is going on here?" Piper asked, running down the stairs just as the mystery man crashed into the fireplace.

"He just shot Prue with something!" Phoebe yelled, pointing to the man in the dark blue suit.

"Oh no, oh no!" The man shook his head as if the world was coming to an end and as the elder brunette raised her arms, he vanished in another plume of silver dust.

"Are you okay?" Piper asked, walking over to Prue.

Prue stared down at her stomach, confused. "I feel-I feel fine," she said as she looked back to where the man had been.
