Hey guys here is the next episode. I hope you guys like it. And Sorry if you haven't had enough Prue in this season I'm trying very hard to add her in…I promise.
Muse to my Ears
Manor
Phoebe was in the kitchen cutting up some vegetables when Cole walked in, "Hey, where is everyone?" He asked.
Phoebe ripped off her apron to reveal a tight black dress, "Surprise!" She said.
Cole looked at her, "You look beautiful." He stated.
Phoebe said, "Thank you." She picked up two glasses of wine and handed one to Cole. "I sent everyone away. So we could celebrate. Mikey is at Zeke's and my sisters are at the club." She added.
Cole looked at her with confusion in his eyes, "What are we celebrating?"
Phoebe looked at him, "Cole, you're finally fully human. No more demon half means no more obstacles for our relationship. Yay us." She thought for a moment, "And Yay Mikey. He's cured and we've never been happier," She added followed by clinks from there glasses and she took a sip. Cole doesn't which cause her to say, "Uh, that was a toast and usually after the clinking part you take a little sip."
Cole said, "I don't know if sending your sisters and Mikey away was a good idea. I don't have powers anymore and I can't protect you if there's an attack."
Phoebe said, "Well, my sisters are in calling range and Mikey is in flaming range and more importantly, I am in kissing range." She kissed his neck.
He stopped her, "Phoebe, you don't seem to understand that with the Source still in power in the underworld, you might be in more danger than ever before." He explained.
Phoebe said, "Well, you don't seem to understand that sometimes a girl needs a night off. Now please, is there anything that I can do," she paused as she kissed his neck, "to help you relax?" She finished and kissed his cheek.
Cole said, "Well, that helps, a little. Maybe you should keep doing that." He stopped her again. "It's just that without Michael being a future ruler, there's energy in the underworld."
Phoebe said, "Wow, you're a sweet talker."
Cole said, "Demons who would normally compete for the Sources favor..."
Phoebe said, "Will start banning together to try to take out the Source. Honey, you told me this part already."
Cole said, "But I'm not sure you get it. Demons hoping to replace the Source will gather factions of followers, and what better way to gain support for your faction, than to kill the infamous Charmed Ones." The oven timer went off. "I'll get that." He went over to the oven and pulled out a hot dish. He quickly put it down. "Ah, ow! Damn it! Oh!"
Phoebe went over to him "Is it bad? I could call for Leo." She offered.
Cole said, "No, no. No, it's fine. I used to be able to hold fire in the palms of my hands."
Phoebe said, "We vanquished half of you. That's a huge adjustment. But I promise, you'll figure it out. We'll figure it out together." She hugged him.
Cole said, "I'm serious about the factions, Phoebe. If demons join forces..."
Phoebe said, "I promise you I'll worry about the factions first thing in the morning, but for now, I want us to join forces." And they kissed
Congressmen's office
He was practicing a speech to himself, "We must join forces. With those we have considered our enemies, if we are to defeat... We must join forces... Damn." He sat down at his desk. A muse appeared, surrounded by a bright light. She looked hard at him and he got an idea. He stood back up. "Joining forces with our friends is simple. Only by working with those we've considered our enemies will we achieve our greater goals. In the coming days we must rise above our differences if we're to reach the level of our convictions."
He heard someone clapping and he looked around just as a warlock blinked in, "I think I can use that." The warlock said.
The man said, "How did you get in here? What do you want?"
Devlin (The warlock) said, "Well, as you know congressmen, gathering a following requires inspiration. I want your muse."
The muse widened her eyes, "You can see me?" She asked.
"My what?" the man asked.
The muse saw a ring on the warlock's finger, "The ring of inspiration. But how did you get it?" She asked.
Devlin said, "Oh, I think a more important question is, how will you get out of it?" he held out his hand and the muse got sucked into it.
Congressmen said, "Who the hell are you talking to?" He headed for the door but Devlin blinked in front of him. "Please..."
Devlin said, "Come now, I'm doing you a favor, really. There's nothing worse than an uninspired politician." He placed his hands on the side of the congressmen's face and burned him. He screamed
Opening Credits
The next morning in the kitchen Piper was on the phone and making a cup of coffee, "Uh, okay, Bev, if that's what you really want. Bev, take yes for an answer. I'll get back to you." She hung up and headed for the table. Phoebe walked in and took Piper's coffee and sat down. "Uh, that was the last of the coffee." She stated.
Phoebe took a sip, "I've had coffee, this is not coffee. Have you seen Cole?" She asked.
Piper said, "Uh, he went out. He said he had some errands to run."
Phoebe said, "What kind of errands?"
"He didn't say." Piper answered. "How was the big date?" She asked.
Phoebe said, "Great, fine. It was okay. He kept talking about demonic factions the whole time."
Piper said, "Well, that's probably because it's easier for him to talk about demons than what's really on his mind."
"Which is?" Phoebe asked.
Piper said, "Whether or not you're going to reconsider his marriage proposal now that he's just a human."
Phoebe said, "We talked about that and he's totally fine with it. He gets it. Why, did he say something to you?"
Piper nodded, "No, but, uh, he doesn't have to, it's written all over his face. And, truth be told, it's rare for a relationship to survive a rejected proposal."
Phoebe turned around and said, "But it wasn't rejected, it was just postponed. Piper, I'm not ready, you know that."
Piper said, "Mm-hm, I do, but it's not my heart that's involved. Or my ego for that matter. You should talk to him again."
Piper got up and headed for the door, "Where are you going?" Phoebe asked.
"Uh, P3. But dropping Michael off at school first," Piper answered.
Phoebe looked at her watch, "At 9:00 in the morning. Don't club kids sleep in?"
Piper said, "Corporate party, big money, total nightmare."
Piper left the kitchen and Phoebe followed, "Uh, what if there's an attack?"
Piper said, "At 9:00 AM. Don't demons sleep in?"
"Not always," Michael said as he descended down the stairs. "What's up?" He asked as they walk into the foyer.
Phoebe looked at him and then to her sister, "Piper, Cole thinks that the demons are gonna start banding together to take out the Source." She said.
Piper said, "Great, well, I say the only good Source is a dead Source." She put on her coat.
Phoebe said, "Right, but he also seems to think that the best way for a faction leader to gain the support of the demonic masses would be to kill us."
Paige came down the stairs carrying some art supplies, "Who's going to kill us?" She asked.
Piper turned to her, "No one." She assured.
Paige looked at her, "That's new." She said as she went back up the stairs.
Phoebe said, "So I was thinking, since you're the potions master, isn't there something you could whip up? Some kind of protection maybe?" She turned to Michael, "Or you," she asked.
"Sorry I'm rather busy today," he said putting on his back pack.
Piper said, "Pheebs, if there was such a thing as a protection potion, we'd be mixing it in our morning coffee."
Phoebe said, "I know, but there's got to be something that we can do. And by we, I mean you."
Piper said, "Well, I say we just wait until we're attacked like we usually do, and then deal with it then."
Paige came back down carrying a large box of stuff, "Who's attacking us?" She asked.
Piper said, "No one."
Paige said, "Right on, I get the weekend off."
Piper said, "See now that is the spirit."
Paige went back upstairs
Phoebe said, "Piper, if Cole is right, we have no idea how many of them we're gonna be up against."
Piper said, "Suddenly I'm beginning to miss the Source."
Phoebe said, "And even if you don't think we need the protection, just think about Cole and Andy. They're human being with no magical powers, living in a house that's constantly under demonic attack."
Piper said, "Well, I guess I can make something."
Phoebe said, "Yay, yay, yay. I love you!"
Piper said, "After I go to the club. We cannot afford to lose the income. I've got this client who is insisting on a last minute theme and man, do I hate themes."
Phoebe said, "Oh, I am so good at themes. My prom theme, almost paradise, totally my idea."
Piper said, "And this is supposed to impress me how?"
Paige came down with another box, "Are you moving out?" She asked.
Paige said, "No, just cleaning out."
Piper said, "Your art supplies?"
Paige said, "Well, between witch work, and work-work, I just don't have any time anymore."
Phoebe said, "This is perfect. We need a theme. You're an artistic, creative type."
"A theme?" Paige asked.
Phoebe said, "Yeah, I'll explain on the way. Us theme, your potion." She turned to Michael. "You school."
They headed for the door
Piper said, "Me peeved, you annoying." She turned to Michael, "You flame,"
Phoebe said, "You see how well this worked out?"
Phoebe and Paige grabbed their coats and rushed out the door at the same time Michael flamed out.
Zeke's house
Michael flamed in on the porch and knocked on the door. "Zeke," he said.
Zeke's mom answered the door, "Hey," she greeted. "I hear your better now,"
"Yup." He smiled. "Uh, Zeke here?" He asked.
She looked up towards the upstairs, "I haven't been able to wake him but, but you can give it a try." She said. "But be quiet please. I'm trying to relax before work."
"Okay," Michael nodded he walked up the stairs and knocked on the door, "Zeke, Zeke you need to wake up!" he shouted.
His mom rolled her eyes with a smile as she heard him open her son's bedroom door, "Ah. Mom!" he called out.
"Quiet!" Michael screamed. "your mothers trying to relax!" He added.
She turned her head and saw a half dressed Zeke with a toothbrush in his mouth and Michael dragging him down the stairs, "Your welcome," Michael said with a smile. He turned back to Zeke. "Ready?" he asked.
Zeke finished putting on his shirt and took the toothbrush out of his mouth, "Yeah," he said.
"See you later," Michael said to Zeke's mom as he and Zeke flamed out.
Alley
A homeless man wandered down the alley when two warlocks blinked in. Devlin's eyes glowed red. The homeless man turned into a warlock, "Back off, we're on the same side."
Devlin's eyes changed back to normal., "Whoa, we almost killed a demon. The Source would have our heads." He said.
Warlock #1 said, "Man, I love that glamouring power. You know, I fall for it every time."
Demon said, "If you two warlock scum don't mind, I've got work to do."
Devlin said, "Oh, but so do we, and we're gonna need to borrow that little trick of yours." The warlock stabbed the demon and received his glamouring power. "Nicely done. Now, use your new power to kill the Charmed Ones and bring me back theirs."
Warlock #1 said, "Hey, I thought we were taking out the witches together."
Devlin said, "I have a faction to build, and time is of the essence. There's recruiting to do, powers to gather."
Warlock #1 said, "So I'm supposed to risk my life so you can become the Source?"
Devlin said, "Aren't you tired of living under demonic rule, of being a second class citizen? My friend, in the coming days we must rise above our differences if we are to reach the level of our convictions."
Warlock #1 said, "And what do I get out of it?"
Devlin said, "A little inspiration." Devlin pointed the ring at the warlock and he was covered in a bright red light. "Now get to work." Warlock #1 blinked out.
P3
Phoebe, Paige and Bev are there, "Bev, I'm telling you, forties night is perfect. I mean, think about it, the zoot suits, the saddle shoes, the patriotism. What more could you ask for?"
Bev said, "Uh, I just don't know. I mean, weren't the fifties a little bit more flashy?"
Paige said, "Yeah, if you want something that's been done a million times."
Bev said, "Excuse me?"
Phoebe said, "Um, honestly, Bev, I think the forties is your era. I mean, you already have this, kind of Veronica Lake thing goin' on."
Bev touched her hair, "I do?" She asked.
Paige said, "Oh yeah. Peek-a-boo hair-do, some nice pearl ear rings, you're a dead ringer."
Bev said, "Oh," she giggled "um, well, then..."
Paige said, "Looks like someone has some shopping to do."
Phoebe said, "Yep! Here is the number for the costume place, and tell all your friends to dress there or be square."
Bev laughed "Thanks, girls."
She left and Phoebe breathes a sigh of relief. They headed for the stairs Cole walked down them at the same time Michael and Zeke flamed in, "Hey, school got out early today," Michael stated.
Phoebe said, "Oh, if it isn't Mr. Sneak-out-of-bed."
Cole said, "Yeah, I had some stuff to do."
Phoebe said, "Yeah, what kinda stuff?" and she hugged him.
Cole said, "Well..."
Phoebe felt something, "What's that?" she asked.
Cole said, "Oh." He pulled out a gun and The girl gasped.
Phoebe said, "What are you doing with that?"
Paige said, "Get that thing out of here."
Cole looked at her, "Oh, come on, you guys see worse than this every day." He argued.
Phoebe said, "No, we see demons every day, there is a huge difference."
Cole said, "There is how?"
Paige said, "Uh, for one thing, we're not likely to accidentally vanquish ourselves."
"Where did you get it?" Phoebe asked.
Cole said, "Well, I may not be a demon anymore, but I still know where to find the bad guys."
Paige said, "Well, why don't you go find the bad guys and give it back to them?"
Cole said, "Look, I have to have a way to protect myself, and the one I love."
Phoebe said, "Okay, Cole, I am not living in a house with a gun. It makes things more dangerous, not less. That's why Andy leaves his in the car when he gets home,"
Leo orbed in, "Hey." He greeted
Phoebe looked at him, "Hey, ah, Piper's at home." She said.
Leo said, "I know, I just talked to her and Prue. I came here to find you guys."
"Was there an attack?" Cole asked.
Leo said, "Uh, in a way. Muses have been disappearing, the Elders are very concerned."
"Muses?" Michael asked.
Paige looked at him with the same confused face, "Muses, the ones who inspire creativity, they're real?" she asked.
Leo nodded, "Yes, and they are in a very real danger. It'd be a powerful evil to find a way to hurt a muse." He said.
"Factions." Cole said.
Warlock #1 blinked in nearby. He spied on them.
"We'd better get back." Phoebe said.
Paige said, "What about forties night?"
Phoebe said, "We'll call the decorator from the car."
Leo said, "Alright, I'll meet you guys at home. I'm gonna see what else I can find out."
Phoebe said, "Uh, Leo, before you go... Wait, um..."
She took Cole's gun.
Cole looked at her, "Come on." He said.
Phoebe gave the gun to Leo, "Can you orb this to Andy and Darryl, please." She asked and she and Paige left.
Leo looked at Cole, "I wont even ask." He said.
Cole stayed behind as Leo shook his head and orbed out. The warlock turned into Leo and blinked out.
"You okay, Cole?" Michael asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," He stated.
"I'm going to take these glasses that Piper sent me here for to put them back." He said and walked to the back of the club with a box.
"Is he alright?" Cole asked Zeke.
"I believe so," Zeke stated tossing a look of concern towards Michael.
Michael came back in and said, "Let's go," And he flamed out with Cole and Zeke.
Manor
In the attic Piper was looking at a Muses page in the Book of Shadows. Phoebe and Paige walk in.
"Hey, Prue is with Andy and the baby downstairs," Phoebe said. "How's it going with the protection potion." She asked.
Piper looked at her, "Non-existent."
Phoebe narrowed her eyes, "Hey, we kept up our end of the deal."
Piper said, "I know, Bev called and she's thrilled, and I thank you, but I thought we should move on to the muses."
"Muses, which are…" Paige said as she walked dover to the book and read the page, "'Beings of pure light, whose sole purpose is to inspire people's passion and creativity. Like angels, they guide us with an unseen hand of inspiration'." She read.
Piper nodded, "Mm-hmm."
Phoebe said, "Wait, how can evil hurt someone who's invisible?"
A muse appeared, "I have no idea. A good place to start would be to ask a muse, but I can't figure out how to summon one." Piper said.
Phoebe looked around, "Do you guys feel that?" she asked.
Piper looked at her, "What?"
Phoebe said, "I don't know, it's like a, um, wow, like a, like a feeling." She looked around the attic.
Piper looked at her, "Honey, whatcha looking for?" She asked.
Phoebe said, "I think there's a muse somewhere in this room." The muse touched Phoebe's shoulder.
"Being of creativity,
show yourself now to me,
your light that shines upon our face,
let our vision now embrace."
Phoebe chanted and the muse became visible, "I was hoping I could inspire you to do that. I'm Melody." She introduced herself.
Phoebe said, "Wow, I'm Phoebe. And this is, um..."
Melody interrupted her, "I know who you girls are, I've been inspiring you your whole lives. Now I was hoping you could help me."
There were flames behind Piper that caused Melody to pause the flames slowly got brighter
"So you know what's been happening to the muses?" Paige asked.
Melody continued to look at the flames materializing behind Piper, "Yeah, we were inspiring a symphony and a friend of mine, a fellow muse, was captured. I was lucky to get away."
Michael and Zeke became corporeal, "Hey," Michael said startling Piper.
Piper turned around, "Gee, Mikey don't do that." She turned back to Melody, "Get away from what?" She asked.
Melody said, "A warlock wearing the ring of inspiration."
"Thee ring?" Michael asked.
Phoebe looked between the muse and her cousin, "The what?"
Melody nodded to Michael and said, "It's a ring that enables the wearer to see and capture muses. I mean, it was created by good magic, to channel inspiration in times of great need."
"A warlock, is that like a demon?" Paige asked.
"Except more annoying." Michael answered with a nod.
Paige said, "That's nice."
Leo/Warlock walked in followed by Prue, "Hey, look who I found," She said as she joined her sisters and cousin.
Phoebe said, "Hi, I thought you were orbing." She looked at Leo
Leo/Warlock said, "What?"
Paige pointed to the two, "Melody, Leo, White lighter, muse."
Leo/Warlock turned to her, "Nice to meet you."
At the same time Melody said, "We go way back."
Leo/Warlock said, "Oh, right. Uh, good to see you again."
Phoebe looked at him, "Have you ever heard of the ring of inspiration?" she asked.
Leo/Warlock said, "Uh, I think so. Red jewel?"
Piper narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "Isn't that something you would have normally mentioned earlier." She asked.
Leo/Warlock said, "Right, um, yeah, sorry about that." As a knife appeared in his hand. He hid it behind his back.
Piper looked up to the ceiling, "Leo!" She called
Leo/Warlock said, "What?"
Leo orbed in. Leo/Warlock grabbed Phoebe and stabbed her. He blinked out. Cole ran in. Leo/Warlock blinked behind Paige.
Cole pointed to her, "Paige, behind you!" Paige got a fright and orbed out.
Piper blew up the warlock and Leo healed Phoebe, "You okay?" Piper asked.
Phoebe nodded as Paige orbed back in, "What was that?" she asked.
Cole stepped forward, "That was a warlock."
Piper said, "Was that the warlock that captured your friend?"
Melody nodded, "No."
Phoebe said, "They must be working together."
Cole said, "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call a faction."
While Cole said that a demon shimmered in behind Michael and wrapped his hands around him, "Hey!" Michael said.
The sisters turned around and Piper was about to flick her wrists, "Don't bother," The demon said shimmering out with Michael.
Commercial Break
Underworld
The demon and Michael shimmered into his father's chambers where hundreds of demons were lurking, "My apologies, my liege," The demon said to Michael, "But we needed you down here,"
"What for?" Michael asked.
"Demons are furious with the source for exiling you and removing your future ruler ship of the underworld," The demon explained. "Most of us are still loyal to you," he added.
Michael shrugged, "Okay?" He pressed. He was about to walk away when the demon grabbed his arm to stop him, "What are you doing?" Michael asked.
"You can't leave," The demon said, "The source will destroy us if you do."
Michael looked at the demon and flamed out, "You have to get him back here," Another demon said. "Gonzalez is the only one who can rule the underworld," He stated.
Manor
Everyone came down the stairs, "Where are you going?" Phoebe asked Piper as they descended down the stairs, "We have to make a plan," She said.
Piper didn't even turn around, "I have a plan." She stated.
Paige looked at her with her eyes narrowed, "Which is?" She asked.
Piper turned around, "To cook." She answered simply. "Now that I know what we're up against I can practically taste the potion. I don't know what it does, but it tastes pretty good." She said.
Paige picked up her painting supplies, "I can't believe I almost threw away my paints." She said looking at them with a smile.
"I'm gonna write a vanquishing spell. Actually, I-I have to write a vanquishing spell. I keep hearing rhyming in my head, are you doing that?" Phoebe said as she turned to the muse.
Melody looked at her with a soft smile, "Oh no, you're doing that. I'm just helping it come out." She said.
Phoebe smiled back, "Yes you do, without a doubt."
"I'll wait for Mikey to get back so he and I can come up with a plan," Prue suggested.
"That's great," Piper stated. "Now that the tumor is gone he should be back to full power," She added.
"I think I should probably leave." Melody interrupted, "I'm not meant to stay in one place for too long. The inspiration gets a little intense."
Piper said, "Okay, but that's good. If the warlocks are enslaving other muses to inspire them, then we need all the help we can get."
Zeke pulled out his phone, "I can call Rosaline, and see if she can come help," He offered.
"That's great," Prue said. "She could be of good use," She added.
"I think I know how to get the ring." Paige interrupted.
Piper turned to her, "You do?" She asked.
Paige nodded and turned to Melody "Can you describe the warlock to me?" She asked.
Melody nodded, "I think so."
Leo turned to Paige curiously, "What are you gonna do?" He asked.
Paige gave him a 'duh' look, "I'm going to draw him."
"I think Leo should orb me underground." Cole interrupted.
Phoebe looked at him, "What?" She asked.
"I could find out who the faction leader is." He argued. "I may not have my powers anymore, but I still know the terrain." He added.
Phoebe looked at him, "Yeah, and you may just find yourself in everlasting pain." She added.
Paige looked at everyone, "That's a rhyme." She stated the obvious.
Phoebe looked at her, "Yeah, I'm sorry. Now is not the time." She said. "Oh!" she exclaimed as Zeke pushed his way past her.
Piper turned to Cole, "Cole, if you go underground you will be a sitting duck without your powers." She said.
"I'm a sitting duck up here as well." He argued. "At least this way I can be useful." He touched Piper's shoulder and she pushed it away.
Phoebe looked at him, "Cole, you are useful, alive." She stated. "It's just that now you have to be the brains behind the operation, not the brawn."
"Well, is there some rule somewhere that says I have to choose?" Cole asked.
Phoebe said, "Well, I could make one up, but it would just be a ruse."
Melody said, "But maybe I should point out that..."
"I think Cole is right," Prue stated as loud as she could.
Phoebe narrowed her eyes, "Excuse me?" she asked. "Leave it to Prue to agree to that," she muttered.
Paige looked at Prue then towards Phoebe, "Well, he is a demon, right?" She asked in Prue's defense.
Phoebe pointed up a finger, "Was a demon." She corrected.
Melody looked between everyone, "Before you get any more..." but was interrupted.
"No, he was a half demon that's probably lived for about a century." Paige argued, "So that means he knows his way around down there pretty well, and we can use all the help we can get." She added.
Melody turned to Leo, "Leo." She said.
Leo began to talk, "I think what Melody is trying to say is..."
Phoebe interrupted him, "No, the point is bounty hunters haven't been attacking because they think he's dead. If he goes down to the underworld..."
"I'm still here!" Cole cut her off by yelling.
Piper turned to him, "Cole, if you go underground and anyone sees you, you will be back on the demonic radar, only this time you will not have anything to protect yourself. And Mikey may not be able to protect you like he has been," She added.
Phoebe said, "It's starting to seem like you have some kind of death wish."
Cole turned to her, "Well, it seems to me that you won't be happy until I put on an apron and become your little house boy."
"Piper, Phoebe, I'll send Mikey with him but he is right…" Prue started.
"Not now, Prue!" Phoebe interrupted. "Where is Andy when you need him," she muttered.
Prue rolled her eyes, but otherwise didn't say nothing more as she knew Andy would agree with Piper and Phoebe.
"Hey!" Leo yelled and all eyes turned to him, "Alright, here is the thing. Every time there is a muse around, passions tend to run a little higher."
"A lot higher." Melody added.
Leo looked at everyone, "Let's keep that in mind with in communications with each other, okay?"
Piper turned and pointed to Phoebe, "Phoebe, go write your spell." She turned to Paige, "Paige, go do whatever it is you were going to do." She turned to Prue, "Prue, see if this warlock is in the book and how he got ahold of that ring," She ordered and Prue nodded and went up the stairs, "Cole, please join me in the kitchen and tell me everything you know about warlocks so that I can make my potion." She said and headed for the kitchen as Paige and Phoebe went up to the attic.
Cole turned to Phoebe, "We'll talk about this later." He started to walk off.
"Alligator." Phoebe said. And went upstairs as Leo headed for the kitchen.
"Cole!" Piper yelled and he walked into the kitchen.
Kitchen
At that moment Michael flamed back in, "Demons got nerve telling me I have to stay in the underworld." He ranted to himself as he went towards the kitchen, "I'll show them a ruler," He continued he paused when he saw Piper, Leo and Cole in there. "Oh, hey," He said.
Piper had potions boiling, "Where have you been?" She asked.
"Oh, dad needed something," He lied. "What's going on?" he asked as he took off his jacket.
Piper ignored him, "What I don't understand is why a warlock would even want that ring." She said.
Cole looked at her, "Are you kidding? Evil never gets the feel of that muses' inspiration, I can tell you, I have never felt anything like it in my life."
Leo turned to him curiously, "What does it feel like?" He asked.
Cole said, "It was like a power surge, an over dose of adrenaline. I can tell you these warlocks must be sucking it up, so whatever it is that you're doing, please do it fast because I promise they'll be back."
Piper put an herb in the potion, "Look, I am making this up as I go along. So power surge or no, you're going to have to be patient. Just like your gonna have to be patient with Phoebe on her marriage front."
"Oh, great," Michael said as he went to the fridge and grabbed a water bottle. Three. Two. One. He thought and pointed to Cole
As if on cue Cole said, "I don't think that's any of your business."
Leo turned to him, "You don't know sisters very well, do you?"
"Cole, your struggling right, trying to figure out how to be this new person." Piper said.
Cole turned to Leo, "I thought we were here to talk about warlocks." He said.
Leo nodded, "No." He sighed.
Michael leaned in and whispered into his ear, "She does this all the time." He stated.
"What you don't get is that Phoebe is trying to do the exact same thing. She's always been the youngest sister, the eternal child. Care free, fun loving." She said.
Cole looked at her, "And?" He asked.
Leo spoke up, "And in a minute, she nearly lost Mikey, discovered Paige, and became a middle sister." He said.
"And to top it all off, you propose. The idea of marriage, being that much of a grownup is terrifying to Phoebe." Piper added.
"Did she say that?" Cole asked.
Piper said, "No, she didn't have to, I'm her big sister, I've known her only, oh, her whole life." She turned towards the stove.
Cole turned to Leo, "Can I have a word?" He asked. He grabbed Michael's arm and pulled him out of the kitchen, "You too," He stated as they left the kitchen.
Piper put something in the potion and it exploded, "Ah. See what a little patience will get you?" He asked and turned around when she received no answer and found that no one was in there with her.
Conservatory
Cole turned to Leo, "I'm asking you a favor, Leo, man to man." He said.
Michael turned to Cole and put his water on the table, "This should be good," He remarked sarcastically.
"You want me to talk to Phoebe?" Leo asked and playfully punched him.
"I want you to orb me underground." Cole stated. "Or you can flame me." He turned to Michael.
Leo nodded, "Cole, that's the inspiration talking." He said.
"Maybe so, but think about it Leo, their big plan right now is to draw the warlock." Cole stated with a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"They're the Charmed Ones, I trust that they know what they're doing." Leo said.
Cole said, "Just listen. I can't be certain, but I think that warlock used demonic powers."
Leo turned to him, "Which means he killed a demon to get them. Aren't there laws against that?"
Cole nodded, "It's punishable by death. Now, I know where the demons will convene to discuss his treason. They probably know by now which warlock is behind it. All we have to do is listen."
"I can go to my father's cavern and see if I can hear anything," Michael stated.
Cole put his arm around Leo, "And not be seen." Leo added.
Cole said, "We can go now and be back before anybody notices."
Leo said, "Oh, they're gonna notice. And then they're gonna kill me."
"Wait, did you want me too…" Michael started as Cole and Leo orbed out. "Great conversation." He muttered and took off for the stairs.
Kitchen
Piper was a little irritated for the three guys leaving the kitchen. That's when Andy walked in with Sophie. He looked at Sophie and said, "Look, it's Aunt Piper," he said in a baby voice.
Piper looked up and all her irritation went away, she took off her apron, "Come here," She said in a baby voice, "I have missed you." She said.
"What is going on?" Andy asked as he saw she was making a potion.
"Oh. Just a warlock attack," He stated and rocked Sophie, "Aunt Piper is going to make you a bottle then she is going to read to you," She said in a baby voice.
"Excuse me?" Andy asked looking irritated.
"Prue is upstairs, she can fill you in," Piper said and took off into the other room, "Tell her the potion's done," She added.
Attic
Phoebe, Prue, Paige and Melody were there. Paige was drawing the demon while Phoebe wrote a spell and Prue looked through the book.
Phoebe stood up, "A warlock is a funny thing, he blinks from place to place, and when we say these words to him, his face they will erase'." She read off her spell.
Paige looked at her, "It sounds more like a limerick than a spell." She stated.
"Needs to be a little better, Pheebs," Prue pointed out with a smirk. "Nice try though," She added.
Phoebe smiled, "Damn." She said.
Michael walked into the attic, "Hey, what's going on?" he asked as he walked over to the book and stood next to Prue.
"Just trying to find, vanquish and figure out everything we can on this warlock," Prue said.
"Oooh," Michael said, "Great. Anything I can do to help?" He asked.
"Not at the moment," Prue stated although there was evident of fear in her voice. "Sweetie, why don't you go see if you can scry for him." She stated and looked over to Phoebe with a look of we need to talk.
"Okay," Michael said and walked over to the door, "Hey Andy," He said as Andy walked in.
"what's going on? Piper said there was a demon attack?" he said.
"warlocks," Prue said. "Guys, what if Cole was right what if they are trying to take out the Source?"
"So what if he is…isn't that a good thing?" Phoebe asked.
"What if there is more to it though," Prue asked. "I mean, think about it. They aren't just going to stop with the Source. And killing us means they'd get our powers right?" she asked.
Phoebe didn't know where Prue was going with this, "Okay, go on," she said.
"What if its to wipe us all out? Michael included," She said. "Gain our powers to defeat him,"
"We should stop them then," Paige said. She turned to Melody, "Well?"
Melody turned to Paige, "I think his nose was a little longer than that." She said. "Your work is wonderful." She added.
Paige smiled, "Thanks to you." She said.
Melody said, "No, Paige, I have nothing to do with product, only the inspiration to create it."
Phoebe waved her hand, "I could use a little of that over here." She said.
"Okay." Melody said and walked over to Phoebe. "Close your eyes, and concentrate."
Phoebe closes her eyes, "Thank you," She said.
Melody walked back over to Paige, "So how come you stopped painting?" She asked.
"How come you stopped inspiring me to paint?" Paige returned softly.
Melody nodded, "I honestly have no control over the world, Paige. You stopped painting because you stopped caring about your art."
Paige nodded, "No, I didn't stop caring about my art, I just, I dunno, I guess I'm a perfectionist. And once I stopped having enough time to practice, well, I just kinda threw in the towel." She said.
Melody looked at her, "Art isn't about perfection, it's about expression. The key is simply to love it. That's the call I answer."
Michael walked in with potion vials, "I have the potions," he said as he walked in. "Piper said one of you have the spell?"
"yeah, Phoebe does…" Prue said and looked at him, "Where is Piper?"
"Oh she is with Sophie," Michael said.
Phoebe cleared her throat, "'Evil is a faithful foe, but good does battle best, we witches will with these words kick this warlocks evil zest,'" She chanted as practice.
Prue looked at her with a smile, "That's better Pheebs, very witty," she stated.
Phoebe smiled, "Thanks," She said and handed a sheet of paper to Prue, "Just take one," She ordered lightly. And she handed one to Paige and Michael as well.
Paige said, "Thank you."
Phoebe looked at the drawing, "Wow, is that him?" She asked.
Melody nodded, "Precisely." She said.
Paige said, "Now that I have something to focus on, I think I can call for the ring."
Phoebe said, "It's brilliant. The ring will orb to you, and then if he wants it back, he'll have to come follow it."
"Hold it," Michael said. "Paige your still new to your powers. Maybe I should call for the ring." He offered. She gave him a look, "I just don't think your strong enough to move objects across town yet," He stated.
Prue nodded, "Okay, so Mikey calls for the ring and then that will be when we hit the warlock with the potion." She stated.
Phoebe nodded, "And make a huge commotion." She added.
Michael jumped as Piper's thoughts invaded his mind. The potion will flash his eyes. "Piper says that it will flash his eyes which are very sensitive," he looked up as she said more, "And should keep him from blinking while we say the spell," He added.
Paige looked at him curiously, "Blinking?" She asked.
Michael nodded, "Well, you know how I have flames when I leave?" He asked
"Yeah," She answered
"Well, they blink and poof. There gone," He explained.
Paige said, "Well, why don't you just, I dunno, freeze him or have Piper blow him up or something?"
Prue nodded, "Well, sometimes warlocks don't freeze, or blow up. Power of Three or Four spell is the only guarantee."
Paige nodded, "Fabulous."
Phoebe looked at her sisters, "God we're good." They clinked their potions. "Ah, no, no, wait. I think we should tell the guys."
Suddenly, there was a flash of pink and red over by the couch as Piper and Sophie appeared. Piper was reading a book of fairy tales. "Then the evil stepmother locked her in the room," She read.
"Piper," Prue said and Piper looked up.
"Oh. I guess Sophie wanted to be with mommy," Andy said and smirked.
Paige looked at Phoebe, "But why should we tell the guys?" She complained.
Phoebe rolled her eyes at her younger sister, "Cole? Cole?" She called out.
Michael slouched as he sat on the couch, "Do you know something Michael," Piper asked.
"Leo and Cole went to the underworld." He blurted out.
Phoebe looked at her sisters, "Okay, go and see if you can find them. Astral Project if you have too so you can come back when we call," She said.
Underworld
Leo and Cole were crouching behind a rock, spying on a meeting going on nearby, "What is this place, Cole?" Leo asked.
"High Council meeting quarters. We listen long enough, we hear plenty." He said.
A demon came up behind them, "You two lost?" He asked.
Cole looked up, "Rake." He said,
The demon recognized him instantly, "Belthazor, sorry man, thought you were a warlock." He started to walk away but stopped. "Didn't I hear you were dead? Saving Gonzalez," He added.
Cole pulled a knife out of his back pocket, "Yeah, and unfortunately, I have to stay that way." He said and stabbed Rake and he exploded into flames.
Leo watched, "He seemed like a friend." He stated
Cole looked at him, "In my old life he was."
Leo said, "It feels different, doesn't it? Killing now that you're human."
Cole rolled his eyes, "Just keep an eye out would ya?" He ordered.
"It's a warlock named devilin," Astral Michael said as he became corporeal behind them.
"We know," Leo said. "We have bigger issues to worry about," He added.
"Ugh, don't say bigger," Astral Michael said and only Cole knew what he meant. "Never mind," Michael added as Leo looked at him. "The sisters know your down here," He added before he astralled out.
Attic
Piper looked up at the ceiling, "Leo? Leo!" She called out.
Phoebe walked in, "Cole is nowhere to be found." She said.
Piper looked at her, "And Leo still isn't answering." She said.
Phoebe rolled her eyes, "I can't believe they'd do this. Mikey was right,"
Paige looked at her, "Right about what exactly?" she asked.
Piper looked at her, "The only reason Leo wouldn't hear us calling is if he went underground, with Cole." She explained just as Michael woke up, "Find them? She asked impatiently
"Yup," He said.
Paige looked between her two older sisters and Prue, "I'd rather do battle with warlocks than do battle with the two of you."
Phoebe ignored Paige's comment and turned to Michael, "Call for the ring." She ordered.
"I think we should wait for Leo; you know in case we get…" He started but she cut him off.
"Just call for the ring." She ordered.
Michael stood in front of Paige's drawing, "Ring," He called softly. When it didn't come Melody approached him.
"Breathe and focus," She said.
He relaxed and then threw his hand up gain, "Ring," he called out.
Alley
Devlin and another warlock are there, "That ring packs a serious punch," The warlock said.
Devlin looked at him, "What power did you get?" He asked.
An energy ball appeared in the warlock's hand and Devlin held his hand over it. Suddenly, his ring flamed out. "Your ring, where'd it go?" The warlock asked.
"The Charmed Ones," Devlin growled. "Well, let's go get it back." He said.
"No way they just vanquished the last sucker you sent in," The warlock argued.
Devlin looked at him, "He didn't have your newly acquired power. You wanna live in the shadow of demons your whole life?"
Warlock #2 said, "Forget it, Devlin, its suicide."
Devlin said, "They're expecting me, but not the two of us. We can take 'em, come on. We'll take their powers and then their cousins and together we'll rule the underworld. We're gonna have so much fun." They blinked out.
Attic
The ring flamed in on a table, "It worked," Paige said rather impressed.
Prue grabbed it as Phoebe said, "Let all the muses out," as she hid behind a box.
The other three went behind boxes as well. Melody going over to Phoebe and Michael going over to Prue, Paige, Piper and Andy (Who was holding Sophie)
Warlock #2 blinked in and the Charmed Ones all threw the potions as the warlock and the four sisters and Michael at the same time chanted the spell.
Evil is a faithful foe,
but good does battle best
We witches will,
with these words,
waste the warlocks evil zest.
The warlock suddenly bursted into flames and is vanquished, followed by a ripple from his vanquish caused the sisters and Michael to fall off their feet. Suddenly, Devlin blinked in, grabbed the ring and blinked back out.
Piper helped Prue up, "Wh-what just happened?"
"Must have been such a powerful spell with the five of us together caused a powerful vanquish," Prue said. She looked around "Andy?" She called out and he appeared with Sophie in the form of red and pink flash.
Devlin blinked back in, "Oh my god," Phoebe exclaimed. He sucked Melody into the ring. "Piper, blow him up." She ordered.
Just as Piper was about to flick her wrists Paige grabbed them, "No. You might blow up melody too."
Prue waved her arm to send him flying but he blinked out causing the boxes to hit the wall, "Dammit," She cursed.
Commercial Break
Manor
In the attic Piper, Phoebe and Prue were sitting around the table, doing nothing, while Paige decided it was her turn to watch Sophie while Andy wanted to be around Prue. Leo had orbed in with Cole, "I-I know you're, I know you're mad but before you say anything we, ah, found out that the faction leader is a warlock named, uh, Devlin." He stated.
Phoebe said, "Ha, he looked more like a Joe to me."
Piper nodded in agreement. "Mm-hm." She muttered
Leo looked around, "Where's Melody?" he asked.
Prue didn't even look up, "Oh, she's gone." She stated a sshe lied her head on Andy's shoulder.
Leo leaned down, "Gone? Gone, as in she left?" He asked.
"Nope." Michael stated. "Gone as in she got sucked into a big red ring by Devlin." He added.
Leo looked between the three oldest Charmed Ones and Michael, "Okay, so what exactly are you doing now?" he asked.
"Basking in the brilliance of our failure." Phoebe stated.
Piper and Prue at the same time said, "Yup,"
Cole looked between them, "What happened?" He asked.
Michael looked at him, "Oh, well, I called for the ring and uh, it came to me, we set the muses free." He said.
Piper continued the sentence, "Which was useless because Devlin came and took it right back, so he could capture them all again."
Phoebe said, "And he took our own muse and he's gonna use her inspiration to kill us. Aw, the irony."
Leo said, "Okay, I understand that you guys have been on an inspiration binge and that you are wiped out, but now is not the time to give up."
"He's right. Devlin will be back soon, and stronger than before." Cole said.
"We are pretty strong ourselves," Prue returned. "Besides we have no inspiration."
Leo looked at her, "But you don't need it. Alright, Melody just inspired your own passion, creativity and talent. Alright, all you need to do now is find another way to tap into it."
"But how?" Michael asked.
Piper said, "I say we head for the hills."
Cole said, "Great idea, it rhymes with gills."
Phoebe looked up at him with anger in her eyes, "You think that's funny? If you had done what I asked and stayed here, you might have been able to help." She said.
"How?" Cole asked. "The minute Devlin arrived you would have sent me to our room." He added.
Phoebe looked up at him again, "Cole, I wasn't just being a nagging girlfriend. I actually had good reasons for asking you not to go."
Cole looked at her, "Which were what exactly?" He asked.
Phoebe said, "I dunno, to try to keep you alive."
Cole said, "What, 'cause I'm not capable of defending myself. If that's the way you think, no wonder you don't want to marry me."
Phoebe got up and walked over to him, "I can't believe that's what you think. Is that really what you think?" she asked.
"What am I supposed to think?" Cole asked.
Phoebe said, "You're supposed to know that I love you and..."
"And, and what?" Cole asked impatiently, "I have a hard time believing that any woman who's truly in love would turn down a marriage proposal."
Phoebe said, "Uh, well, that's how little you know about women. Cole, there's still so much that we don't know about each other. I mean, we don't know the new rules, and we don't know what it means for you to be human, and I don't know.."
Cole said, "That you truly love me."
Phoebe nodded, "No, Cole, that's the one thing that I do know."
"Well, then what is the problem?" Cole yelled.
"Hey!" Prue yelled. "Do not talk to my sister like that," She ordered.
Phoebe ignored Prue's outburst, "I don't know how to be a wife." She admitted and he kissed her. "But I can't live without you in my life." She added and they kissed again.
Prue looked at Andy, "She rhymed," she said.
Piper looked at them, "Mm-hmm." She muttered.
Leo looked at the other two sisters, "This is what I'm talking about. Phoebe's passion for Cole is a natural way to access inspiration." HE explained.
Phoebe and Cole stopped kissing and she walked over to Piper, Prue, Andy and Michael. "Okay, you guys, we have a warlock to catch. And I know were beaten, and I know we're tired, but that does not mean we can just lay down and play dead."
Piper nodded, "I don't think we're gonna have to play." She said.
"That's not funny," Michael said.
Phoebe continued, "Piper, Leo said we can tap into our own inspiration, and I'm feeling it. Now you have to do whatever you have to do to feel it too."
Paige walked in holding a sleeping Sophie, "I dunno, I kinda agree with running for the hills." She whispered as she had been listening telepathically.
Cole nodded, "You can't run." He said just as quiet, "Not while Devlin has that ring."
Phoebe said, "You know, this isn't about saving our own lives, or even Melody's." She said. "It's about good versus evil, and wrong verses right, and our job as witches to fight the good fight."
Piper looked up, "Dr. Seuss is that you?" She asked.
Paige looked between her sisters, "What if we didn't wait for Devlin to come to us, what if we went to him?"
Phoebe looked at her, "See, now that's the spirit. We're gonna need a new spell and Piper, were gonna need some more of your potion." She said.
Piper looked at her, "I have no idea what I put in it." She groaned.
Leo said, "Alright, well, Cole and I were there, maybe we can help."
Piper said, "Leo, please. There were like fifteen thousand herbs on that counter."
Phoebe said, "Okay, so just start cooking and let that inspire you."
Piper threw her hands in the air, "Now she's Martha Stewart."
Cole said, "You're pretty young, Piper. Are you really ready to die?"
"Oi!" Piper said.
Phoebe said, "Look, if you can't do it to save Melody, then get inspired to save your own life, for Leo, for me, for Prue, for Michael, For Sophie, for Paige. I don't care how you do it, just do it. Because I guarantee you that Devlin's not sitting on his butt waiting for inspiration to strike."
Somewhere Underground
A faction meeting was being held, Devilin was talking, "We have proven with the loss of our fallen comrades that we cannot take on the witches as individuals, but there is power in numbers my friends, and our plan is inspired. Now are you with me?" He asked.
Every warlock in the room all at once said, "Yes."
Devlin made a shine of red light on them from the ring, "It's time. Prepare yourselves, and don't be late."
They all blinked out.
Manor
In the conservatory Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Michael were making the potion on a small table. While Cole paced around and Andy put Sophie in the bassinet and Leo sat on the couch.
"This doesn't feel right." Cole said to them.
Paige looked at him, "Well, if anyone has a better idea we're open to it." She said.
Leo looked at the five witches and said, "You could try calling for it again."
Phoebe nodded in disagreement, "Oh no, that wouldn't work. He's probably figured out a way to protect the ring by now. With all his powers at his disposal even combining our magic may not be enough to call it," She added.
Cole said, "Alright, let me just think for a minute."
Piper said, "We don't have a minute. We need the ring back now."
Leo nodded, "She's right, with all the muses afraid to come out of hiding, the world is going uninspired. Which is okay, except that..." he started.
Prue quickly finished his sentence, "Evil is inspired."
Leo nodded, "Right, which could throw off the whole balance, giving evil the upper hand." Michael looked to the ground as he thought.
Cole said, "I get that, but they've never been to the underworld without me or Mikey there to protect them."
Michael looked up from the ground, "I'll go. Phoebe can stay here with Sophie." He suggested.
Piper looked at Michael and then at Cole, "We have a potion, we have a vanquishing spell, and we have the element of surprise." She said.
Cole looked at the four while Phoebe reluctantly agreed to stay behind, "But what you don't have is any idea where Melody is. I don't want anything happening to you guys," He said.
Prue looked at him, a small smirk reaching her lips, "Nice to know you care," She stated.
Paige looked at him, "She's in the ring." She stated simply.
Cole looked at her, "Which is on the finger of a warlock, who could be anywhere, doing anything with any number of demonic powers. I'm telling you, it just doesn't feel right."
Piper nodded at his statement, "We know, Cole. But we have to go." She said.
Cole looked at the three sisters, "Don't go." He pleaded.
Phoebe turned to him in her sisters' defense, "Baby, every time you went to the underworld, every time you shimmered out of here, and I had to wonder if I'd ever see you again. It didn't feel right, but you had to go, didn't you?" She kissed him.
Cole pulled away from the kiss and turned to Michael, "Protect them." He said.
"Always," Michael said as they picked up the potions.
Leo looked at them, "Be careful."
Prue was the one who started the spell, "'Being of creativity...'"
Paige was next, "'We call ourselves now to thee...'"
Piper said the next part, "'Your light now darkened in a ring...'"
Michael joined in when they said the final line, "'Shall feel the Power of Four we bring.'"
They were surrounded by bright white lights and disappeared.
Phoebe went and picked Sophie up from her bassinet and in a baby voice she said, "Aunt Phoebe is going to rock you to sleep. And then when you wake up she's going to read to you like Aunt Piper. What do you say?" She asked and picked up one of Sophie's hands and rose it to the sky, "Yay!" Phoebe said in a baby voice.
P3
Forties night was happening when Piper, Prue, Michael and Paige appeared, "Please tell me we didn't time travel again," Prue stated as she looked around.
Piper looked at her, "No, Silly, we're at P3. I think." She said.
Paige looked around in awe, "Oh my god, forties night looks amazing." She said.
Piper said, "Okay, sisters and cousin, focus. We cast a spell to find our muse, and it landed us not in the underworld, but in my club."
Paige looked to them, "So then the spell didn't work." She guessed.
Prue nodded and said, "No, the spell definitely worked. I really hope," She added.
Paige looked at her, "Then Melody's here?" She asked.
Piper said, "And so is Devlin, and probably his entire faction."
Devlin was indeed at P3. He was at the bar having a drink.
Commercial Break
Manor: Conservatory
Leo, Phoebe, Andy and Cole were there. Cole was walking around, while Leo sat on the chair, head resting on his hands. Phoebe had sat next to him holding Sophie, who was playing with Phoebe's phone, and Andy stood beside them.
Cole looked towards Leo and Andy, "I don't know how you do it. How do you sit by and do nothing while your wives lives are in danger?" he told them.
Leo continued looking to the ground, "Cole, I get that this is hard for you, but I need you to do me a favor and shut up." He said.
Andy looked at him and narrowed his eyes, "Leo, you okay?" He asked.
Cole on the other hand wasn't as gentle, "Excuse me?" He said.
Leo looked at Andy, ignoring Cole, "I need to concentrate." He said.
Cole looked to the ground, "On the floorboards." He said in disbelief.
Leo nodded, "No, I am listening for a call from the girls so I can be there in case they need me." He added.
Phoebe looked to Andy and then to Leo, "Leo, Mikey will get them out." She said. "I know it," She added as an afterthought. She looked down to see Sophie pushing buttons on her phone. "Let's not call Darryl," She said in a baby voice and hit the hang up button.
Cole suddenly realized something, "It's a trap." He stated.
Leo and Andy looked at him, "What?"
Cole looked at Leo, "I knew this didn't feel right. Why didn't the warlocks attack again after they got the muse?" He asked.
Leo nodded in agreement, "Evil isn't exactly known for its patience." He said.
Andy turned to Cole, "Go on," He ordered lightly.
Cole looked at the two men, "It's because they already failed twice. So Devlin knew he needed numbers. Not too many warlocks are either stupid or brave enough to attack right here in the manor, but plenty can be convinced to lay an ambush." He explained.
Leo looked up, "Hang on." He said. "That's strange." He added.
Both Andy and Cole looked at him, "What?" They asked together.
Leo said, "Mikey and the girls aren't underground, they're at P3."
Cole nodded, "They can't use their powers in public."
Leo looked at him, "I promised."
Cole said, "You only promised not to orb me underground."
Leo turned to Phoebe, "Phoebe, help me out," He asked.
"I don't know…" Phoebe said as Sophie glowed a red color which quickly spread to Phoebe and they disappeared.
P3
Piper, Prue, Michael and Paige walked through the crowd, "Okay, this looking for them this way is not going to work." Paige said in an irritated fashion.
Bev ran into them, "Oh, Piper." She said. She had startled Piper which caused her to drop the potion and it exploded. "Love the fireworks," Bev added as an afterthought.
Piper looked at her, "Fireworks, yes, fireworks." She said as that was a good enough thing.
Bev said, "I just wanted to tell you I think the club looks great."
Piper put her hand out, "Bev, you're a genius." She said and walked away.
Michael looked at Piper confused, "Um, how exactly is she a genius?" He asked.
Piper pointed up, "The strobe lights." She stated simply. "They'll work like the potion but on a grand scale to keep the warlocks from blinking." She added. "I'll freeze the innocents, anyone you see still moving, feel free to vanquish them." She explained. "Alright, here goes nothing." She turned off the lights and turned on the strobe lights. She threw her hands out and flicked her wrists as she froze the innocents. They all heard groans from warlocks. She saw one moving and threw her hands out again and blew him up. One throws an energy ball at them.
Paige looked at Michael, "What is that?" She asked as he jumped in front of her. The energy ball barely affected him as it hit him.
"Energy balls," Michael answered as another warlock formed one and threw it.
"Energy ball!" Paige called out and it orbed into her hand. She threw it back at the warlock, vanquishing him.
A warlock tried to drag Melody outside. "Help me! Paige!" She yelled.
Paige looked, "Melody!"
"Melody?" Michael asked with eyes of confusion.
Piper said, "Wait, wait, wait."
A spark flew through the air and hit Paige on the shoulder.
Prue threw her arm out and sent a warlock flying into the stage. "Paige, go get Melody," She ordered.
Paige turned to Michael, "You stay here, I'll go get Melody."
Melody said, "Paige!"
A warlock went to strike Paige but found himself flying through the air as Prue had her arm out.
Prue saw the warlock form another energy ball, "Piper!" She yelled.
Piper flicked her wrists and blew him up. Paige walked over to Melody. "Are you okay?" Paige asked.
Piper turned the lights back on. "Okay, so who here doesn't want to die?" She asked and the rest of the warlocks blinked out.
As the room was still frozen there was an echo, "Sophie…" The voice said as Phoebe and the baby appeared next to Piper.
"Pheebs," Piper jumped at the sudden appearance of her younger sister.
"Okay, let's get out of here." Phoebe just said, after being kept in the loop, literally, from Michael's telepathy.
They walked out into the Alley and Paige held onto her shoulder, "We still don't have the ring." She pointed out.
Piper looked at her, "That's okay, we have Melody. We'll get the ring next." She said.
Phoebe looked over her Piper, "Piper, aren't you forgetting something?" She asked.
"No," Piper replied. "I don't think so."
Piper, the innocents. Michael said in her mind.
Piper jumped as realization hit, "Oh! They're still frozen aren't they?" She asked and she went back inside.
Melody walked over to Phoebe, "How are you, are you okay?" Phoebe asked.
Melody nodded with an evil smile, "I am now." She touched Phoebe's face and tried to burn her.
Leo and Cole came in and knocked her out of the way. Prue threw the potion. Cole went over and pulled the ring off Melody's finger. She changed into Devlin and he pushed Cole across the alley.
Piper ran back out and Leo walked over to Paige, "You okay?" He asked.
Phoebe turned to Piper, "Blow him up! Blow him up!" She said.
Piper flicked her wrists to blow him up but nothing happened except a little explosion on his shoulder. "Oh." Piper said.
Prue threw her hand out and Devlin only stumbled backwards "Damn," She muttered.
Devlin looked at them with an evil smile, "I'm too strong for you, witch."
Piper smirked, "Well, good thing I brought reinforcements." She said.
Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Prue and Michael chanted the spell.
Evil is a faithful foe,
but good does battle best.
We witches will, with these words,
waste the warlocks evil zest."
Devlin exploded and is vanquished followed by another ripple that sent the sisters off there feet.
Phoebe helped Cole up after she got up and she hugged him, "Thank you for coming." She said.
Cole said, "Thank you for having me."
Cole gave Paige the ring and she let the muses out, "Now that was inspired." Melody said as she was released from the ring.
Paige held out her hand, "Here. I think you need to get this back to the good guys." She said as she handed her the ring.
Melody nodded, "I think it's time I should be going." She said.
Phoebe looked at her, "Don't be a stranger." and hugged Melody.
Melody laughed, "Oh, I wouldn't dream of it." She said as she quickly hugged Piper and Paige. She wnet over to Prue, "After all I have a little one to inspire," She added as she hugged Prue. "Bye."
Piper and Paige at the same time said, "Bye."
Phoebe looked to Cole, "Should we go back into the party?" She asked.
Paige nodded, "Actually, I think I'm inspired to spend an evening at home."
"Hmm." Piper muttered in agreement.
"I have to take some shots to 415," Prue said.
Leo looked at all of them, "Um, aren't you guys forgetting a little something?" He aksed.
They all looked at Melody, "Oh!" Prue said.
Phoebe narrowed her eyes in thought, "Oh, let's see. 'Being of creativity...'" She started.
Paige said the next line, "'Hide yourself now from me...'"
Piper said the next line, "'Your light that shines upon our face...'"
Prue said the last line, "'From our vision, now erase'."
Melody turned invisible.
Manor: Attic
Paige was painting.
Down in the kitchen Piper and Leo were there having a romantic dinner. They feed each other some food and kissed
Prue was in her room with Andy and Sophie, on the bed. Sophie fell asleep on top of Prue while Andy got his equipment ready for the next day.

A/N so I believe I'm making progress with my side plots. I just hope my readers love what I have planned. Lol. You will all be happy to know I am already on the mid-season finale and it should be up within the next few weeks.
Also, I will post the other chapters weekly. So you will have a new one every week (or every other week) depending on my writing time. You WONT wait months or even a year for it to be updated again.
Next episode is A Paige from the past.
Spoiler: Phoebe and Cole get possessed. Michael has to figure out a way to save them while Piper and Prue team up with Andy and Darryl to stop them. And Michael must deal with an old foe (maybe). Also, Rosaline comes back YAY!
