The sound of the doorbell ringing stirred Phoebe up from her seat. Dressed in a light colored tank top and pair of ripped jeans the formerly youngest Halliwell was simply enjoying her day off.
Opening the door she was greeted by a sandy brunette haired girl no older than sixteen years of age. She had a fair complexion and green eyes and was dressed in a fashionable light blue top, jean skirt with hi-top shoes.
"Hello, can I help you?" Phoebe inquired as she didn't recognize this girl.
"Hi, can I use your phone please? It's an emergency please." The girl pleaded with an expression of begging on her face.
Phoebe couldn't help but to let her use the phone "Okay come on in it's around the corner."
Piper and Prue came down, "Phoebe you can't just invite some random girl in...especially with...you know." Prue intoned as there was no way of telling if either the girl was a demon or a normal.
"What? She was distressed and obviously need help." Phoebe argued.
"Jenny, Jenny, come on talk to me."
The three sisters looked at the man that now stood at the doorway. He was brunette as well, dressed in casual slack pants and button up top that was ironed. His appearance was of a man in his twenties and at him as it was hard not to see him as anything but attractive.
"International Operator please, Saudi Arabia." The girl now identified as Jenny spoke into the phone.
Prue turns and says, "Saudi Arabia." She exclaimed not only sharply but high pitched as her mind immediately went to the toll cost.
"I'm sorry we're moving in next door, or at least were trying to, our phones not hooked up yet." The man explained.
"So you're our new neighbors." Phoebe inquired as the sisters were wondering who was moving in next to them. For a little while they were dreading that it might have been demons pulling a Rex and Hannah.
"Names Dan, Dan Gordon." The man introduced himself.
"I don't care if the circuits are busy I have to talk to my mom." The emotional girl ranted at the operator as she paced back and forth in the living room.
"And that's my niece, Jenny, who is obviously not talking to me." She hangs up the phone and storms out of the manor, "Jenny, sweetie come on." By his tone and facial expressions it was obvious he was exasperated. "Sorry its nice meeting you." He said his farewell.
"You too." Prue responded in a show of politeness.
Dan closes the door behind him.
"Well that was a thing." Considering all they've been going through the last year the sisters were hardly phased, instead they went back to their routines.
Phoebe is sitting at the table typing up her latest paper. Taking a break she looks out the window to Kit and Jenny. Remembering what happened Phoebe decided to be a new friendly influence on the girl.
"Hey there, its Jenny right?" Phoebe asked as if she messed up her name.
Jenny says,"Yeah." The girl replied.
"We didn't really get to say hello before my name is Phoebe, Phoebe Halliwell and this is Kit the cat, get it Kit cat, a little play on words." Jenny just stares at her, "So shouldn't you be in school?"
"I'm taking the week off. You know for the move and stuff."
"So you're moving in with your uncle?"
"Well, just for the school year, until my mom and dad come back."
"From Saudi Arabia?"
"My dad's with the state department, so he gets transferred a lot." Jenny explained.
"That sucks, so did you ever get in touch with your mom?"
Jenny breaths in and says,"It doesn't matter."
Phoebe let out a smile "If it matters to you it matters, your secrets safe with me."
"Well, it's almost that time of the month you know? And well I need some…"
Phoebe finishes her sentence "Tampons."
"Oh, right yeah."
"And you don't want to talk to your uncle about it."
"I did, but he went out and bought sanitary napkins, like that's gonna work this is so embarrassing."
Phoebe looks at kits collar and sees the Triquetra. They were going to have to get her a new collar soon.
"So, do you think you can get some for me instead?"
Phoebe mulled over this for a moment. It would have been the easy thing to do, but for the situation but would it have been the right thing?
"Look, I would love to help you out, but I gotta believe that your parents wouldn't have left you with your uncle if they didn't think you could trust him with stuff like this, ask him again and if he still screws it up remember we're open twenty-four hours, seven days a week, right next door." Phoebe could only hope she was right in her advice.
A few hours later she would be getting quite the surprise. Opening the door to see who was visitng so late in the evening she was surprised to see it was their next door neighbor.
"Oh, hi." Phoebe couldn't recall the man's name.
Dan can see that she forgot his name "Dan." He reintroduced himself right.
"Dan, right." She awkwardly laughed it off.
"You're Phoebe? Jenny told me, I hope its okay to stop by."
"Of course, I was just doing some reading."
"Well I just wanted to give you this to say thanks, you know for talking to Jenny or better yet for getting her to talk to me." He said as he handed her a gift basket. By the sweet yet faded scent it was obvious it was cooled baked goods.
"That's really sweet and timely too, but it's not necessary."
"Well, to be honest, I was sort of hoping to get something out of it," He was quick to hastily correct himself upon seeing Phoebe's expression. "I mean you know for Jenny just in case she needs a woman to talk to again."
"Of course anytime, she seems like a great kid and did she tell you what the problem was?"
"Any idea what size I'm supposed to get there's, like, 5?"
"Uh…juniors probably safe bet." Phoebe estimated.
"Right, , um see you around."
"Night."
"Night."
He leaves and Phoebe closes the door and she goes back into the kitchen.
It was the following day and so far the trend of things being normal seemed to continue.
Piper stomped into the kitchen with a bag of groceries in one hand and one of her shoes in the other. Prue and Phoebe were both at the coffee pot when she dropped the groceries unceremoniously on the island.
"Whoa, what did you buy?" Phoebe exclaimed, referring to the smell that followed Piper inside.
"Feces." Piper replied with a glare at her sisters as she held up her shoe for them to see.
"We weren't out of that." Prue quipped.
"I stepped in it again. That man has turned our front walk into a puppy minefield." She ranted.
Phoebe shook her head in disbelief. "I cannot believe that guy let's his dog do its business right in front of our house."
"Well, we've left notes…" Prue pointed out with a resigned sigh.
"Maybe we should send Naruto out to talk to him?"
Piper grabbed the empty milk carton on the table in front of them and threw it roughly into the trash. "We're not going to get our boyfriend to go beat up a guy, no matter how much he deserves it." Piper gave paused. The phrase 'our boyfriend' still felt so weird.
Phoebe suddenly slammed her hand down on the table with a loud 'thump.' "Well, I've had it. The next time I catch him in the act, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind." She decided.
All three sisters froze at the sound of a dog barking outside their house. "No…"
"It can't be…" Piper agreed with Paige, her voice showing her disbelief.
"Oh, I hope it is." Phoebe announced, stomping toward the living room window as if she was off to battle. Prue and Piper were quick to follow.
Piper yanked the curtain back so they all could see. "That's them. That's the guy and his dog. I can't believe it." Piper stammered in her anger.
Prue's hands rested on her hips as her eyes narrowed. "That is so rude. And he's just going to walk away."
Phoebe smirked mischievously. "Then don't let him. Use your magic." She suggested eagerly.
"Phoebe." Prue scolded.
"What? If you can't teach the dog new tricks, why not the owner? Just think of the money we would save on carpet cleaning alone." Phoebe insisted defensively.
Prue shook her head immediately. "Phoebe, we can't use our magic to teach him or anybody else a lesson." Prue lectured.
Phoebe stood her ground. "Why not? You're falling back onto that old adage that we know its not true. Personal gain is not part of the true Wiccan creed. Plus we would not only be helping ourselves, but everyone else on the block." She continued. "Come on." Phoebe waved for Prue to open the window.
Prue only hesitated a split moment. "Okay." She agreed, pushing the window up. "Alright, Piper." She moved out of the way.
"Oh, I hope he's not out of my range." Piper wished. She leaned out the window and flicked her wrists so that the street outside froze, including the man and his dog.
"Prue…" Phoebe prompted. Prue sighed and flicked a finger so that the dog's poop smashed against the man's shoe. "Nice shot." She complimented just as the street unfroze. "An eye for an eye, a shoe for a shoe." Phoebe commented in satisfaction.
The man looked down at his shoe and attempted to wipe the stuff off onto the ground. He turned and looked around as if trying to figure out how it had happened. "Ooh!" The sisters whispered when he looked at their window. Prue dropped to the ground, Piper pulled back against the wall out of sight while Phoebe let the curtain go so that it closed them from view.
"Did he see you?" Prue asked Phoebe from the ground as she was easily the last person to get out of sight.
Phoebe shrugged nonchalantly. "So what if he did? What's he gonna do? Cry witch?" Phoebe joked.
Piper peeked out around the curtain and saw the man and his dog leave. "Well, he's gone now." She pointed out.
Phoebe nodded, much happier than she had been earlier. "So we've done our good deed for the day. I think I deserve fifteen minutes of channel surfing." She decided, sprawling across the couch and flipping the television on with the remote.
"Who wants coffee?" Piper asked, receiving raised hands from Phoebe and Prue who was a given.
"I'll grind." Prue offered, following Piper into the kitchen.
Phoebe flipped the channel several times when she landed on the news. Before she flipped to the next channel a picture of baseball player Cal Greene covered the screen as the reporter talked about his grand slam record. Phoebe dropped the remote as she was hit by a premonition.
Phoebe is tied up to a stake and surrounded by many people. One of the men pointed her out, declaring something, and flames lit up around her, engulfing her while Prue and Piper stood to the side watching and crying.
Phoebe screamed as she came out. Prue and Piper came running from the kitchen.
Prue took Phoebe's hand. "Phoebe, are you okay?" She questioned gently.
"Take a deep breath, honey, it's alright." Piper soothed, helping Phoebe into a sitting position.
Phoebe just shook her head, looking stunned and in pain at the same time. "No, it's not. I saw my future…" She met both of her sister's eyes and before continuing. "I was being executed. Burned alive." She whispered.
By the time Phoebe had calmed down Naruto and Paige had arrived to the manor. Since the latter still had much to catch up on Naruto took to showing her around the magical community to get her better used to what was to come.
"Why would a report about a baseball player trigger a premonition like that?" Piper wondered aloud as she came back from the kitchen with a cold glass of water that she passed to the shaken Phoebe.
Phoebe shrugged as she took a sip of water. "I don't know."
"If it triggered when you saw him then he's involved. Either directly or indirectly." Naruto pointed out. He then went over and placed his hands on Phoebe's shoulders as he gently massaged them. "I know this is difficult to talk about..."
"Naruto..." Prue called out to him annoyed.
"No...no." Phoebe gently called out to her sister. "Its okay." she said placing her hand over his head. "All I remember is that I could feel it. I could feel the fire." Phoebe admitted.
Piper fraught with worry just couldn't wrap her head around it. "So we were just standing there? That can't be right." Piper denied, sounding confused.
"That's what I saw…" Phoebe replied, taking another sip of her water.
Prue shook her head. "There's no way that we would let that happen. Not in the past, present, or future." She insisted.
"The fact neither Paige nor I were there doesn't make sense at all." He wouldn't just sit back and let one of his ladies die.
Phoebe groaned and fell back into the couch. "What did I do? Or what is it I'm going to do?"
"We'll think of something Phe." He promised when he picked up the sound of something. Whatever the presence was he didn't sense any malice from it. "I'll be right back." If it was a demon he was going to take care of it quickly.
He made his way to the attic. He quietly open the door and saw A woman he didn't recognize in front of the book
The pages of the book were flipping wildly as the person, held her hands over it. When the woman orbed out Naruto went over to it and checked the contents of the page. 'A spell to the future'. He frowned as he was not liking the implication.
The power of three was important to the future of good magic. If the Elders knew something why not have Allison come inform them? As much as he wanted to if he acted now he would be tipping his hand and alerting the elders his suspicion of them.
He would have to wait to see what the sisters learn after trip to see what moves so be made then.
The sisters had came to the attic to see if maybe the Book of Shadows could help them.
"It's a spell to take us to the future." Prue read with a thoughtful expression.
"Two actually." Piper corrected. "One to send us, one to bring us home, but apparently we only get one shot. Once we use it they disappear." Piper cautioned.
Paige ran a hand over the spells. "Oh man time travel. That's so cool. Didn't think something like this would be possible without a Delorian. Eat your heart out Michel J. Fox."
Phoebe suddenly shook her head. "Wait a minute, you guys. We almost died going back to the past. This is not something that you just do." She argued.
"We're talking about your life, Phoebe." Prue retorted.
"And I'm talking about yours, Prue." Phoebe returned. "I'm just saying I think we should think this over a little bit." She reasoned, her gaze shifting from Prue to Piper and then to Paige.
"Look, you had that premonition today for a reason. It must mean that we're supposed to do something about it." Prue countered logically.
"How do you know it's something that I did? Maybe it's a demon or a warlock that puts me there." Phoebe suggested.
Prue paused before continuing. "Do you really want to wait to find out?" She asked. Everyone was silent and it became obvious that Phoebe didn't want to wait. Her eyes flickered over to Naruto. "Are you going to come with us?"
Naruto hesitated, not entirely sure whether he should bring up what happened when he paused and realized something.
'Am I...am I making the same mistake again?'
This felt...too familiar. So oddly familiar that he couldn't place his finger on it. But one thing was certain.
Keeping the truth from the sisters would not help them. They weren't subordinates. They weren't soldiers. They were his friends and lovers. They would be a family soon. And being honest with them would be a huge step forward.
"There's something you four should know. When I came up here..." He elaborated on what he saw and his thoughts on the situation. One way or another it was obvious the forces that be were involved and the sisters were not happy.
"Those damn elders." Piper muttered with scorn under her breath.
"There's nothing we can do at the moment. Saving Phoebe takes priority." Prue insisted. "First, we're gonna need a date, Phoebe." She prompted as she carried the book to their ritual table with Piper, Phoebe, and Paige following.
"February 12, 2009. That's two weeks before the date I saw in my premonition." Phoebe finally replied.
"I wonder how I look…" Piper suddenly thought aloud. It was a surprising 180 from her mood a moment ago.
Phoebe cast her a funny look as she scribbled the date onto a piece of paper. "Piper, you look great but this is hardly the time…"
"Not now…" Piper interrupted, giving Phoebe an impatient look. "In the future. When we went back in the seventies we saw ourselves as kids and now we'll be seeing ourselves walking around ten years older. All that vanquishing… think of the wear and tear." Piper elaborated.
"I'll be waiting for you four to get back. There are still things I can find out from the situation here."
With that the sisters began the spell.
"Hear these words, hear the rhyme…"
"We send to you this burning sign…" Piper followed.
Phoebe went next. "Then our future selves will find…"
"In another place and time." Paige finished. The sisters were surrounded with white orbs and disappeared, leaving Naruto alone in the Manor.
