Many trips and many stops later, including one home to let her hubby know of the massive 'business' trip, she found many of the clans quite willing to listen to her. Not that many had been attacked at the time of their ultimate battle, but they all had heard of the Charmed Ones helping out when the demon was stealing all the leprechaun luck. Most of them had been at last partially affected.
Swinging back to California Paige appeared in an old goldmine where a clan of smaller leprechauns were. An entire miniature village surrounded her as she stood in a townsquare occupied by scores of little people.
"You found us and who be you?" asked a friendly little man.
"Uh, hi. Ever here of the Charmed Ones?" she asked reluctantly
"Oh for sure. You came to helps me clan out with the Demon O'Manus. That be his resting place there!" he explained pointing to the remains of a huge tree.
"Like I don't remember. Must be before my time. I'm Paige," she said leaning over and putting out her hand.
"It pleases me to meet yet. Shamus is the name. Phoebe was the one who brought us together. I meself went to fetch her," he said shaking her hand lightly.
Another freindly looking fellow pushed throught the crowd and inquired, "And how me darling Prue," asked Kenneth O'Hannen.
"News doesn't reach here! I hate to tell you, but she was killed six years ago," she said turing up the side of her mouth.
Kenneth's smile disapppered as he lowered his head. "That be a great shock. I will morn her passing on."
The cavern became quiet as the entire clan lowered there heads.
Shamus was the first to speak. "Me codolences to you and your sisters. We ne'r had heard. A wee bit of news has come by us of the great deeds ye did. The Charmed Ones did this and the Charmed Ones did that. Tis is the help you did for me clan that makes your loss ours too."
Kenneth said very lowly, "Rest in piece, me darling Prue."
"So you didn't hear abut our last battle with the Triad and these two witches?" asked Paige trying to get back on the reason for her visit.
"And what is that me darling?" asked Shamus.
Paige put uphe rhand. "Never mind. I have been like pleading for the reunification of us and magic. And you haven't even heard. I am done here."
Kenneth looked up at Paige. "Paige. How come you to be wiht the Charmed Ones? Her sisters Phoebe and Piper helped Prue save us. She be so cute. A regular little doll," sighed Kenneth.
"The cute one? I guess. Are you alright?" Paige asked the lovelorned leprachaun. "Well, to make a long story short Prue was my sister. Half-sister. After she died Piper and Phoebe and I got together and the Charmed Ones were reborn. I wasn't around back when you were fighting that demon over there. I'm kinda like her replacement."
"For me Prue? Can she be replaced? Nay, I say," said Kennth looking up a Paige and stroking his beard.
"Ye still be a good sister, Paige," replied Shamus. "I see ye must continue ye journey. Remember me to me friend Phoebe."
"Thank you," said Paige "I will."
Kenneth looked up again as he saw somehting very special in Paige. "You know we've been looking for a fresh blood in the clan, me bonnie lass."
"Well, goodbye all," exclaimed Paige as she waved to the crowd to head off to tell the remaining clans.
"So you replaced me, darling Prue? Ye be very pretty," he said louder as Paige looked down.
"Sorry guys! Married," she said pointing to the ring.
"A gold band? And with a dowry to. You'll do quite well!" he said.
Shamus exclaimed, "No, me friend!" as Kenneth pointed a gold coin at Paige.
Paige saw bring golden light shoot at her the ceiling seemed to pull away from her. Shaking her head she found herseld looking straight into Shamus' eyes and wearing the same garments worn by all the female leprechauns.
"Begora. How did ye get so tall?" asked Paige as she clapped her hand over her mouthat the sound of her tiny mouse-like voice.
