The next morning the Charmed Ones seemed different. Happier, stronger, and fearless. Phoebe was working from the manor, Piper had booked bands for the next week, Paige was at Magic school and Prue and Pamela went to the park to take pictures.
"So Pheebs, what do you think the thing with the book means?" Piper asked turning the page of the newspaper.
"I dunno, greater power I guess." Phoebe shrugged typing something on the laptop.
"And the Triquatra, what happened to that?" Piper asked sipping her coffee.
"Instead of three points, there are four. Probably representing the four sisters Charmed Ones. Namely us." Phoebe looked over the top of her laptop and stared at her older sister who looked back.
"So what do you think this means? A better chance at getting a normal life?" She asked a little too eagerly.
Phoebe smiled amused, "Probably. Hey let's celebrate tonight. A big dinner."
"Are you gonna help?" Piper asked frowning.
"I'll help set the table and buy the food, i-if you cook it." Phoebe said slowly unsure the answer was ok.
"Good. I'll cook you set and buy." Piper smiled and went back to the paper. Phoebe looked confused; she smiled weakly and went back to her column. Suddenly there was a swirl of blue orbs and an elder orbed in. The two sisters looked up in shock.
"What do you want?" Piper snapped.
The elder sighed as if he regretted being there, "The other elders have felt the power switch of your sisters." He said. The sisters exchanged glances. "The Power of Four. Your powers have grown immensely and we are going to assign you a guide. But we are going to let you choose between two white-lighters." Said the elder.
"Uh, why? I think we can handle this ourselves." Phoebe said.
"You could barely handle the Power of Three. Without Leo you would've destroyed each other." Said the Elder.
"Well we still have Leo, so I think you can go now." Piper said.
"Leo isn't one of your options for a white-lighter. Your first choice is Amanda. She had been a white-lighter for just about the same time you have been witches. Or Cole. He has been given all the white-lighter rules and regretfully we think he might be a good choice." He explained.
Phoebe broke out in laughter, "I could've sworn you said Cole. Ha, yeah that's a good one." The Elder had a serious look in his face. Phoebe frowned, "You're not kidding?" The Elder nodded. "I vote for Amanda." Phoebe said raising her hand. Piper looked down away from her sisters.
"Piper, you not serious!" Phoebe cried.
"Well I am Phoebe." Piper said.
"Wait, you want Cole to be our white-lighter?"
"I think he'll be a good white-lighter."
"Why?"
"He knows us. He knows what we'll do wrong and right. He knows how to communicate with us. Do you really want a total stranger coaching us? Or need I remind you of Natalie?" There was a long silence between the two.
"Fine. But if he tries to get me back I'll kill him." Phoebe stood up and walked out.
"Get you other sister's approval. I'll be watching." The Elder orbed out.
"Why me?" Piper groaned banging her head on the table.
