Part 1
"How about we go back to the arguing stages of this?" Paige asked as she stood up in the attic lent on the window sill.
"Don't tempt me" Prue growled from where she was stood in the center of the Attic pacing.
"Paige... we get through this I'll pay to get you a new apartment" Piper said as stood up, "A nice on with a view over the docks and everything"
"I'll hold you to that…problem is I'm thinking your only saying this because you know its suicide" Paige shot, "you know what, I had a nice simple life before all this…I had a pet bird, I had my own space, I could drink all I wanted, and come in as late as I wanted – and I'm just talking about the sister gig I haven't even got to the magic"
"Okay two problems with that statement – one, you don't drink, hello miss recovering alcoholic" Phoebe spoke back
"Hey, I said I could drink all I wanted, there was no one to stop me. Didn't say I did" Paige pointed out.
"Yeah what ever…and second you came looking for us"
"Wrong I came looking for Patti Halliwell…you were just …"
Paige was cut in by Prue "an added bonus" She smiled
"Yeah that as well" Paige mumbled with a sarcastic gleam.
"You ramble when you're nervous huh?" Piper asked from where she was sat, a smile on her face.
"You noticed?" Paige asked her, "And how are you not nervous?"
"Hey, I trust my husband"
"Yeah but do you trust them?" Phoebe asked the question that they were all themselves wondering.
"Phoebe when will you ever learn? I never trust them" Piper explained.
"I don't like this" Prue stated.
"We've been through this…it is the only way" Piper said not giving Prue the chance to get back into this again they had only just finished an argument that lasted over an hour.
Blue orbs floated down into the manor from above, "Hey dude, so what did the big guys say?" Paige asked, "Do I get a new name?"
"Don't mind her" Piper said standing up, "You got the stuff?"
Leo looked from Paige to Piper, "Yeah here, are you sure about this…if you don't want to…"
"Is there another way?" Piper asked, Leo lowered his head because of his lack of answer to her question. He like them all knew this was the only way. They needed to know what was going on down there. "Didn't think so" Piper took the potion.
Paige walked over, "how about code names?" She asked
"Paige you can use your real name, the potion will cloak you…it'll only last for forty eight hours though…"
"Then do I get a different name" She asked
"Okay, Paige quite with the name thing" Prue growled, "What the hell's got into you? You sound like the recovering in your alcoholic was lost"
"Yeah well I feel like it" Paige said as she looked at the potion in her hand. She looked to Piper, "We ready for this?" She asked
"As ever" Piper replied
With a nod Paige unscrewed the lid and smelt it, that alone was making her want to gag. "Dude what's in it?" She asked Leo
"You don't want to know" HE answered smiling.
"I still don't like this" Phoebe said
"I'm with Phoebe" Prue agreed
"We'll be fine, stop worrying. Besides we get into any kind of trouble miss ramble over there will orb us out of there" Piper explained. Although she herself was scared she knew it had to be like this otherwise Leo wouldn't have asked her to.
"Yeah as long as I remember how"
"Not funny Paige" Prue shot
"I'm not joking…at lease I'll die doing something good, got to make up for my teenage years right?" She asked hopeful.
"3…2…1…" With that countdown from Piper, she and Paige both downed what was in the bottle. "Blah" Piper growled as she swallowed the last of it.
"Ugh, god…" Paige was pulling a face and looking at the now empty bottle, "Next time I'll take this in apple flavor" She grumbled. "So do I look any different?" She asked them
"not a bit…" Phoebe replied
"You're kidding me right?" Paige walked over to the mirror, she hadn't changed – not even a little. "You sure this worked Leo?"
