Heartbreak City

A lady is walking and someone says "Cindy."

She turns around "Max."

Max says "Hi."

"Hi." Cindy says

"Working late, huh?" Max asks

"Yeah, so what else is new, right?" Cindy asks

They both walk down some stairs. Cupid's ring glows and he says "It's a match."

Max says "You guys survive Y2K all right?"

Cindy says "Sure, if you ask me, it was all just a bunch of hype."

Max laughs and says "Definitely."

Cindy says "Well, I guess I'll see you around."

Max says "Okay, take care."

"You too," Cindy says

Cupid's ring glows as he puts his hand up and the entire room almost freezes and he walks up to Cindy "Cindy, I know those last few loves of yours didn't work out. You've been hurt, and you're scared. But you gotta take a risk if you want to find the real thing. And Max is real. Open up to him."

Cupid turns to Max "And Max, Cindy's love and compassion await your discovery, but she's afraid you're still in love with your ex-wife. You've got to reassure her. Now, life is short, you two, so…have a better one together, ok?" he holds his hand up and the ring glows again and the room unfreezes.

Max turns around "Listen, um…you want to grab a cup of coffee or something?"

"Coffee? Yeah, sure, I'd like that." Cindy says

He smiles and says "Great."

Outside

Cupid is walking in an alley and Drazi, the demon of hate, grabs him and pushes him against the wall. "Hello, old friend I've been looking everywhere for you."

Cupid just keeps breathing and says "Drazi-"

Drazi pushes him into another wall "You knew I'd find you."

"Yeah, listen Drazi-" Cupid says.

Drazi throws him into a wood thing and says "You couldn't leave it alone, could you? You just had to get involved."

Cupid says "You crossed the line. Uhh, aah!"

Drazi grabs him and says "Crossed the line? I am the line. You the one that went too far and now, you're gonna pay."

Cupid says "No wait Ah." As Drazi runs his hand into Cupid's chest

Drazi says "Oh, not very pleasant is it?"

Cupid says "Ah! You're killing me."

"Oh, I'm gonna do a lot more than that. A lot more." Drazi says "How does it feel, huh? I could tell you. I know. Thanks to you, I know what it feels like to have your heart ripped out. Do you wanna know that kind of pain, do you?" Cupid nods.

Drazi takes his hand out of Cupid's chest and throws him to the ground. Drazi puts his foot on Cupid's arm and says "No. I gotta better idea. You're gonna just hate it." He bends down to grab cupid's ring. "Your little magic ring…you use it to slip in there between heartbeats, plant you little thoughts of love, well I'm gonna borrow it." He puts it on "I'm gonna use it to tear apart some of your more recent unions."

"No! Drazi, No!" Cupid says

Drazi says "I'm gonna turn love into hate. And that hate is gonna slowly and very painfully kill you. Believe me, in the end, you're going to wish I had ripped your heart out."

Drazi gets up and leaves "Drazi!" Cupid yells.

Outside the movie theater

Everyone is walking with someone; Andy has his arm over Prue's shoulder, Michael is holding hands with Rosaline, Piper holds hands with Dan. And Phoebe is in the middle.

"Fifth wheel cutting in." Phoebe says, running into the middle

Piper says "Oh, would you stop that."

"Well, it is a triple date." Phoebe says

Prue puts her arm on Phoebe's and says "It would have been a quadruple date if Kevin hadn't canceled."

"I know it seems to be an epidemic lately, guys cancelling on me." Phoebe says

"You know what happens when they cancel." Piper says

"Back to square one." Rosaline says

Piper says "Do not pass go."

"And all accrued nookie credits are thrown out." Phoebe says

Andy says "There's a penalty?"

All four girls say "Oh, yeah."

Andy changes the subject "So, what did you think of the movie?"

Piper says "I liked it."

Prue says "Loved it except for the bell bottoms."

Dan says "It was okay, I guess."

Michael says "I thought it was great."

"Me too." Rosaline says

Piper looks at Dan and says "Oh, who are you kidding? I heard you sniffle."

Dan says "Fighting a cold."

She smiles and says "Liar."

"Andy?" Prue says

"As far as classics go, it was no Dirty Dozen." Andy says

Phoebe says "I slept through it."

"You slept through Dirty Dozen?" Andy says

"No. Love Story." Phoebe says "The last thing I remember was the hockey game."

Piper says "Uh, that was the very beginning."

"Hmm. Okay let me guess. Boy meets girl, Grim Reaper swipes girl, and boy is left with hockey skates?" Phoebe says

Dan says "That's a review."

"Who wants coffee? I am buying." He says

Michael says "Could I get a soda please?"

Andy says "Sure."

They walk into a place and Piper says "So difficult."

Prue and Andy are laughing as they walk in

Michael and Rosaline just look happy

Phoebe just stands there

Prue turns around and sees Phoebe standing there "Hey, you're coming to get coffee, right?" Prue asks

Phoebe says "I'm just gonna get a cab, call it a night. I'm pooped."

Prue looks at her and says "I'm sorry that Kevin bagged on you."

Phoebe smiles and says "Ah, it's his loss."

Prue says "It is so his loss because you are beautiful, my sister."

Phoebe and Prue hug and Phoebe says "You're so beautiful." She looks at the front and says "All right, go to your man, have some coffee."

"Ok. I love you." Prue says

"I love you too, bye." Phoebe says

Prue catches up with Andy and Phoebe looks in the mirror beside her and Cupid comes up behind her "I need your help." He grabs her.

"Let go of me." She commands

"Hate will destroy me and everything else if you don't help me." Cupid says

"I am warning you, buddy." Phoebe says

"Phoebe, you gotta believe me. I know why you can't find love I'm-" Cupid says

Dan breaks him from his sentence "Hey! You! Let go of her." He says running after him and Andy follows shortly after and Michael runs shortly after Andy.

"Are you okay?" Piper asks

"Uh, yeah." Phoebe says

"What was that about?" Prue asks

"I'm not sure." Phoebe says

Opening Credits

Manor

Phoebe walks out of the bathroom she walks to Piper's room and knocks on the door "Piper, you still asleep?" she opens it only to find no one in the room. She walks to Prue's room and knocks and says "Hey Prue, guess who got lucky last night?" and no one is in there either. She walks to Michael's door and knocks and she walks in and only Rosaline is sleeping.

The phone rings and Michael gets it "Hello?"

"Mikey, hey is Phoebe home? It's Prue." Prue says

Michael looks at the stairs and sees Phoebe coming "Yeah, here she is." He hands the phone to her.

"Who is it?" She asks snatching it from his hands "Hello."

"Morning," Prue says

"Hey, Prue," Phoebe says "Did that coffee keep someone up all night?"

"Okay, believe it or not all we did was talk." Prue says

Phoebe says "Yeah right."

"No. we just talked about everything. It was really great." Prue says

Phoebe says "Really? How did Andy act to the 'Jack flirting with you at work' part?"

Prue says "Cute. All right where's Piper?"

"Oh, she's still at Dan's." Phoebe says "Hey, if only I bagged Mr. Creepy, we could've scored a Halliwell hat trick last night."

"Don't be mad." Prue says

"No, I'm not mad." Phoebe says "I'm thrilled for you both. I mean it's been a long time. You deserve to be happy."

Michael is silently listening in beside Phoebe and Cupid says "You're gonna need a new lock on that back door."

She gasps and she runs and kicks him and knocks him down.

Prue hears what's going on and says "Phoebe? Mikey?" she hangs up and leaves

Cupid says "I'm getting rather used to you kicking love in the teeth."

Phoebe says "Ok. Who are you and what do you want?"

"More importantly, I know who you are Phoebe and that's why I'm here. I need your help, Charmed Ones kind of help." He says

"Mikey." She says as a sign for him to form an energy ball which he does "I will ask again, who are you?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Cupid says

"Try me." Phoebe says

"Well, for the lack of a better name, I'm…Cupid." Cupid says

Michael puts out his energy ball.

Dan's House

Dan walks into his room with food on a tray and a rose.

Piper chuckles and says "Oh, my."

Dan says "Well, eggs over, bacon crisp, box of jewelry, and dried toast."

Piper gets up and says "A box with what?"

"Do you want a morning paper with that?" He asks

"What did you do?" Piper asks.

"It's not a big deal; it's not a ring or anything." Dan says "But just because it's jewelry, I don't want you to feel like you gotta keep it. If you want to take it back, you can-"

"I get it, I get it." Piper says opening the case and sees a heart shaped necklace and she takes it out.

"Because if you want to, you can take it back," Dan says

Piper gets up and kisses him at the same time Mikey says telepathically Piper.

Phoebe sticks her head in the door way and waves her hands and Piper sees her.

Dan says "Is something…" But he stops as Piper freezes him

Piper gets up and says "Phoebe, What are you doing in here? How did you get in here?"

Phoebe says "We have got a very big problem."

Michael pushes cupid in the room

"Piper, Cupid. Cupid, Piper." Phoebe says

"Hi, sorry to interrupt, glad to see things are working out between you and Dan." Cupid says

"What?" Piper asks

"You have to come home really fast." Phoebe says

"Yeah, a demon of hate stole Cupid's ring, and he's gonna use it to find all the loves Cupid put together so he can destroy them, which will in turn destroy Cupid." Michael says

"Ah, wait a minute." Piper says

"He's telling the truth the demons name is Drazi. He's in the Book of Shadows." Phoebe says

"Yeah Mikey and Phoebe already started working on the potion that'll vanquish him." Cupid says

"And Prue is on her way home." Phoebe says

"Home from where?" Piper asks

Both Michael and Phoebe say "From Andy's."

Phoebe says "Ok. Hurry kiss very fast."

Phoebe, Michael and Cupid join hands "Please hurry," Michael says with a smile and shimmering them out.

Piper goes back to Dan

"Yes um there is" Piper says "But not with you. There is absolutely nothing the matter with you but I do have to go."

As she is in a hurry Dan says "I don't understand, what happened?"

"It has nothing to do with you I swear." Piper says

"Then what does it have to do with?" Dan asks

"It's, uh, complicated." Piper says "But thank you for this and you'll see it on me tonight at the club." Piper says referring to the necklace.

They kiss.

Somewhere at a restaurant

Max and Cindy are sitting there talking and the demon Drazi has the ring and it glows.

And Max and Cindy get up.

Drazi says "Hello, young lovers."

Manor

Prue says to Cupid "So we're actually supposed to believe you're Cupid?"

He laughs and says "So you guys can believe in demons and warlocks, but you can't believe in me?"

"Where's the chubby baby?" Piper asks.

"Guys," Phoebe says

"And the bow and arrow," Prue says

Cupid says "Where's the warty chin, hook noses, and pointy hats?"

"All right, show us something supernatural." Prue says

"Uh, Drazi took my ring." Cupid says "It's my power; it's how I get in."

"Get in?" Michael asks

"To people's hearts, to awaken love," Cupid says "See but Drazi's all about hate, and he's going to use the ring to get in the same way. We're wasting time."

"You're still gonna have to back up the Cupid claim." Piper says

"Ok, fine." Cupid says. He points to Piper "Dan." Then he points to Prue "Andy." Then he points to Phoebe "Clay." He points back to Prue "Andy. Eric in London, Allen in college," He looks back to Piper and says "Not Jeremy the warlock, Joe in college, Barry in high school , Tim in eighth grade." He looks at Michael "Rosaline, Jenny, and Maria in middle school."

He looks at Phoebe "Ken, Kyle, Steve, Mike, Ken again, Brian, Joel, Martin, Peter, Paul…Tony"

"Ok, you know I didn't love all those guys, right?" Phoebe asks him.

"Yeah, well, they wanted to love you, but your closed heart eventually sent them away." Cupid says

"Uh, my closed heart? I do not have a closed heart." Phoebe says

"Look, if people get the feeling that there's nothing there, eventually its hasta la vista, Phoebe." Cupid says. "That explains the recent rash of cancelled dates."

"Ok, so wait." Prue says "Um, our past relationships, you made those happen?"

"Well, actually, my assignment here is just two years old." Cupid says "I helped you three meet Andy, Rosaline and Dan, but most of your prior loves were the work of fellow agents."

"Agents?" Piper asks

"Oh, yeah I'm just one of many. We work in secret all over the world, making connections." Cupid says

"Did you connect me and Leo?" Piper asks

"Uh, no that was the work of you two. Those connections were forbidden to make for obvious reasons." Cupid says

"Did you connect me and Rosaline?" Michael asks

"Yeah I did." He says

"Can we go back to the hasta la vista remark, please?" Phoebe asks

"We don't have time right now to debate the topic of your closed heart Phoebe." Cupid says. "We gotta finish the potion so we can vanquish Drazi before it's too late."

"Ok, how are we supposed to find him?" Prue asks

"The same way he can find me." Cupid says "We can sense each other; we're connected, in a cosmic way." He gets up "There's a fine line between love and hate."

"Oh, brother," Piper says

"Hey, don't take Drazi lightly." Cupid says "You guys are in danger too, you know."

"We're in danger every day. We're used to it." Phoebe says

"Not like this." Cupid says "Look, if Drazi succeeds, eventually, he'll kill your ability to love. And believe me that's a fate worse than death."

Flower place

Max is buying some flowers he walks up to Cindy and says "Sorry, they didn't have roses."

She smiles and says "You're too good to be true. I still can't believe this is all happening."

"Believe it." Max says. He kisses her

Drazi puts his hand up and everything freezes "Oh, touching…really touching." He looks at Cindy. "Cindy could you be a bigger fool? He's still sleeping with his ex-wife. He looks at you as a desperate, lonely woman. Easy sex." He looks at Max "She's nothing but a gold-digging tramp who wants to hitch her wagon to your big fat wallet. Just as soon marry you, kill you for your insurance." He smiles and says "Bye-bye."

He holds up his hand and everything unfreezes as the ring glows.

Cindy says "You pathetic-"

"Bitch," Max says

"Take your damn flowers! Give them to your ex-wife!" Cindy says

"The bank's closing, baby!" Max says "You're not laying one finger on this guy's money."

"Screw you!" Cindy says

He walks in the street and says "Up yours." As a car hits him.

Manor

Cupid grunts a little and Michael sees him "Prue!" he yells but Piper comes out and sees Cupid on the ground.

"Prue? Phoebe?" Piper says, running to Cupid.

"What's the matter?" Prue says putting the potion down.

"I don't know." Piper says

Phoebe looks at him and asks "What's wrong?"

"It's Drazi." Cupid says "He's killing love."

Michael says "I will be right back." He shimmers out.

Underworld

Michael shimmers in "Dad." He says. He walks out of Jared's room and walks down the hallway of the castle. "Dad," He yells. He looks around then shimmers out to the gate and he says to the air "I know you can hear me, show yourself." He commands and a demon shimmers in.

"Master Michael, what can I do for you?" He says kneeling.

"Where is my father?" Michael says

"He is undercover somewhere for the source he asked me to do whatever you say, my liege." The demon says

"What do you know about a demon, Drazi, I think his name is?" Michael says

"I will ask around, my liege." He says shimmering out.

"You know where to find me." Michael says shimmering out.

Commercial break

Flower place

The sisters, Cupid and Andy are already there when Michael shimmers in.

Cindy is talking to Andy and Morris "He just walked into traffic, dumbass! Well…is he gonna die? Because he should you know."

Phoebe, Prue, Piper, Andy and Cupid get out of the car and walk up to Max

"It's Max." Cupid says

Piper says "Is he one of yours?"

Cupid says "Yeah, I matched him up with Cindy last night." He looks at Phoebe "She was afraid to risk love too."

"Are you picking on me?" Phoebe asks. "Do you think it's easy finding love with all the demon hunting we have to do?"

"Well, your sisters and Michael don't appear to be having any problem." Cupid says

"All right, you know what? Let's just stay focused. We have things to do." Phoebe says

Prue says "Are you sure Drazi did this?"

"I'm positive. And he's still here too I can feel him." Cupid says "He's close."

"Where?" Piper asks looking around.

Cupid looks up and Drazi sees him and Cupid says "There." He points to him

Everybody looks over there "Do you think he knows who we are?" Prue asks.

Drazi runs and Piper says "Apparently."

"He's getting away. You have the potion?" Cupid says

"Yes." Phoebe says

"All right lets go." Cupid says

They start running after him "We're not gonna catch him." Phoebe says

"Piper, freeze him." Prue suggests

"He's too far away." Piper says

"Mikey." Prue, Piper, and Phoebe say at the same time and he shimmers out.

As Prue is running to the steps, she astral projects over to Drazi just as Michael shimmers in.

Drazi is running as there is a pink glow and Prue astral projects and Michael shimmers in "What?" He says

"Surprise," Astral Prue says throwing her arm out intending on sending him flying but nothing happens. "Oh, woops that didn't work." She says grabbing a piece of wood and hitting him as Michael conjures an energy ball and Prue astral projects out.

"Are you back with us?" Piper asks Prue

"I think so." Prue says "Wow I really gotta get a handle on that."

Cupid says "I don't understand."

"She astral projected." Piper says

"Did you get him?" Phoebe asks

"No, I just slowed him down a bit. You guys, I'm fine go help Mikey." Prue says and every one runs to help Michael with Drazi. "God, I love this new power." Prue says

Michael is about to throw the energy ball at Drazi when Piper comes up behind him.

"Hiding behind witches skirts?" Drazi says

"Stealing things that don't belong to you?" Piper says freezing him then looks at Phoebe and says "Ok go." And Phoebe throws the potion and Drazi disappears in a type of black goo. Prue catches up to them.

"Did you get him?" Prue asks

Piper looks at Cupid and says "Did we?"

Cupid says "Well, it sure looks like it, although I don't know what happened to my ring. It shouldn't have been affected by what we did to Drazi."

"So, that's it, right? We're done?" Phoebe says "You can just move on now?"

"You in a hurry to get rid of me, Phoebe?" Cupid asks

"Look, Cupid, I know you're just trying to help, but did you ever think that maybe I'm just not ready for love right now?" Phoebe says

"No, you're more than ready." Cupid says

"You know what? Don't start. Just go." Phoebe says

"Well, I need my ring to get back. I mean, they'll issue me another one. But the problem is I need it to get back to them." Cupid says

"Wait, you're stuck here?" Prue asks

"No, actually you can help me get back home. One more potion, some well-chosen words from the Charmed Ones, and I'm on my way." Cupid says. He looks at Phoebe "Care to help me with that potion?"

"Me? Why me?" Phoebe asks

"Because you're free tonight. They have dates." Cupid says gesturing towards Prue, Piper and Michael.

"Hey, how'd you know…never mind, scratch that." Piper says and she and Prue leave.

"What are you smiling at?" Phoebe says

"You," Cupid says

Michael looks at them leave and then sees a demon shimmer in nearby "Hey, I'll see you later." Then he shimmers out and Phoebe and Cupid leave.

The black goo glows green and then Drazi is brought back he looks at the ring and says "Well, looks like you can't kill love after all. But you sure can screw with it."

Underworld

Michael shimmers in and the demon does too. The demon kneels "My liege."

"This better be good I have a date tonight." Michael says

"Sorry, but I have heard of a demon that stole a ring from a cupid." The demon says

"I know I already took care of that we vanquished the demon." Michael says "Excuse me."

Michael is about to shimmer out and but the demon stops him and says "Wait."

"What?" Michael says

"Be careful." The demon says

"I will be careful bye." Michael says shimmering out but the demon grabs him.

"Wait." He says again

"What?" Michael says

"There is a demon out looking for you. He is strong. Perhaps stronger than you. Please be careful."

"I will I gotta go." He says shimmering out

Jewelry Store

Andy is looking at a ring and pays for it and then leaves with the ring.

P3

Prue looks at Pipers necklace and says "Very nice. Do you like it?"

"I love it." Piper says

Dan says "Well, thank your sister. She helped me pick it out."

Prue says "Hey…oh, ok guilty."

"Well, thank you both." Piper says. She turns to Dan and says "And I'll thank you again later."
Andy approaches the counter and he sees Piper's necklace "That's very pretty."

"Thanks." Piper says

"Why don't we get some food?" Andy says as Prue walks to the back.

Manor

Phoebe and Cupid are making a potion as Phoebe stares at Cupid.

"So this'll send you back?" Phoebe asks

"I drink this, you and your sisters say the magic words, and I'm gone." Cupid says

"I cannot believe I am stuck here." Phoebe says "Doing the grunt work, while they're…"

Cupid finishes and says "Twisting the night away?" he looks at her and says "Don't blame them."

"No, I'm not blaming anybody. It's just…I'm here." Phoebe says

"Stuck with me," Cupid says

"Um, I'm sorry, but did you do something specific to tick Drazi off, or did he also find your honesty to be a complete and total pain in the ass?" Phoebe says

"Drazi fell in love with a mortal woman." Cupid says "I redirected her love towards a mortal man, away from Drazi. She's married now, very happy." He looks at her shaking something "Drazi blames me for denying him love." He sees her shake some more and says "100 slow strokes there."

"So, are you telling me that demons love?" Phoebe says

"Frighteningly so," Cupid says

"Good thing Mikey didn't hear that." Phoebe says

Cupid says "Love of evil, love of fear…sometimes a love of the very things they hate. In this case, a human being. You know, if a demon can open his heart, there's hope for you, too, Phoebe."

"Ok, you know, my heart is not closed, ok?" Phoebe says "It's open just not to everybody."

"Your heart is closed." Cupid argues

"I'm picky." Phoebe says

"No, you're terrified." Cupid says

"Yeah of what? What am I terrified of?" Phoebe asks.

"I don't know you tell me." Cupid says

"I don't want to play this game." Phoebe says

"Well then at least stir correctly." Cupid says he gets behind her and teaches her how to stir correctly.

"So, how does this work?" Phoebe asks

"It transports you." Cupid explains "it's just a travel potion with an aphrodisiac kicker."

"Really? An Aphrodisiac?" She asks.

"Lavender, oysters, Rosemary, and chocolate," Cupid says "and your basic karis root compound. But the key ingredient…is desire"

"Desire," She repeats

"A desire to go home, because home…" Cupid says

"Is where your heart is." Phoebe says

"Are you afraid of loss?" Cupid asks

"No, I swear, if you barf up 'it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all,' I might just have to…" Phoebe says but pauses as she looks in the potion and smells it. "Smells really good," She says

"So tell me, what has not loving gotten you?" He asks

"It's kept me safe." She says

"Safe from what?" He asks

"From people leaving," She says

"Your mother?" He asks

"Yeah," She says

"And your father?" He asks.

"And you." She says

"Are you falling for me?" He asks

"No, I am not falling for you, thank you very much." Phoebe says moving away from him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Phoebe Halliwell, running away from love." Cupid says

"You're cupid." She says "Ok, you're the one leaving me."

"Look, Phoebe, what I am is the potential for true love, that's all." Cupid says "Because once you let love in, it'll never leave. Don't confuse the message with the messenger, Phoebe. It's what you've always done. See, messengers make mistakes. They get lost, they run away…they even die. But their message-'open your heart-' it comes from life itself, hear it. For my sake…"

Outside/Rosaline's house

Michael is walking up to Rosaline's house when a demon flames in and grabs him from behind and says "Hello, my liege. I've been waiting for you to be by yourself."

"What do you want?" Michael asks trying to break free.

"I want what was taken from me a long time ago. I want everything you have." He says

Rosaline walks down the street wearing a nice blue dress when she sees Michael "Hey let him go." She says.

He forms a fireball and says to her "Move and he's dead." Then he whispers to Michael "I want to love again."

"Then let me go and I'll help you find love." Michael says trying to get loose.

"I can't trust you, I can't trust anyone anymore." The demon says his voice sounding angrier by the minute

"Why?" Michael asks

"Just be quiet." He says and then sees Drazi coming.

Drazi holds his hand up and freezes everything, of course the demon fights through it, as for Michael and Rosaline they are still frozen. Drazi whispers to Rosaline "Look at him, he's nothing. You deserve better, not that piece of trash. He just wants someone he can call his girl, he doesn't love you."

He walks over to Michael and the demon and says "How could you let yourself be fooled, she doesn't want you she just likes you because you're magical. You can do better." He says then holds up his ring and everything unfreezes.

"Whoa, what's going on?" The demon asks confused.

"You?" Michael says "What have you done?"

Rosaline looks at Michael and says "You son of a…I never want to see you again." She runs back to her house.

"Why did you do that?" Michael asks Drazi. But Drazi walks off.

"Rosy wait," He says trying to run to her but the demon still has his arm around Michael's chest. "Let me go I have to talk to her." He looks back towards the street where she turns "Rosy." He yells.

Michael tries to shimmer out but nothing happened "Nice try, I can weaken your power. As long as I'm around you're defenseless."

"Look, I promise you can have whatever you want but please let me try and fix my relationship." Michael says pleadingly

The demon thinks for a while and lets him go "You better keep your promise, I will find you." He says flaming out.

When Michael approaches Rosaline's house he knocks on the door.

Rosaline looks out the window and sees him. She opens the door and says "Go away. I told you I never wanted to see you again so just leave and don't come back" She slams the door in his face.

He stands there and shimmers out after a while.

P3

Piper keeps looking at the entrance waiting for Michael and Rosaline to come in.

Prue looks at Piper and says "Bathroom break, Piper."

"All right, yes ma'am. See you boys in a minute." Piper says getting up leaving Andy and Dan at the table.

At the back of the club where the restrooms are Prue and Piper wait in a line.

Prue looks at Piper's necklace and says "You're ok with that, aren't you?"

"Ok with what?" Piper asks

Prue grabs the necklace and says "This. I mean, I don't really want you to be mad at me."

"Why would I be mad at you?" Piper asks

"Because I let Dan buy it for you." Prue says

"No, Prue, its ok it's great." Piper says

"And you don't wish that they came from Leo?" Prue asks

"No…I don't" Piper says

"I have a strange feeling deep inside." Prue says

"What do you mean?" Piper says

"Well, I mean, we have these guys out waiting for us but Mikey's not here it makes me wonder if Drazi got to him before we vanquished him." Prue says

"Why would you think that?" Piper asks

"Well, because he's not here. He loves it here. And not only is he not here but he's not here with Rosaline. And that worries me Piper." Prue explains as the step forward in the line. "I don't want him to live his life like his father did. Without love always wanting a family,"

"Well, maybe you should talk to him about it." Piper suggests "I'm worried about him too, Prue. I mean, he sees her every day, he rescued her, he loves her. I can actually feel that he does. Look let's not worry about it yet." They run into the bathroom.

As Andy and Dan are at the table talking Michael comes up to the table. Andy sees he's been crying. "Mikey, what's wrong?" He asks

"I just—Rosaline and I got into it today." Michael says.

Dan says "You two are like best friends what happened?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." Michael says

Phoebe walks up to the table and says "Hey guys are Prue and Piper around?"

"Yeah they're in the ladies room." Andy says

"Thanks." Phoebe says walking back there

"Phoebe wait." Michael says chasing after her.

Drazi walks down the stairs the ring glows when he holds his hand up.

Commercial break

P3

Piper and Prue leave the bathroom as Cupid and Phoebe and Michael show up.

"Hey." Phoebe says

"Hey yourself," Prue says

"Cupid," Piper says

"Evening ladies," Cupid says "I trust everything's going well."

"Very well," Piper says

"Prue?" He asks

"Everything's going well." She says

"Very bad," Michael says

Prue walks up to him and asks "What happened?" She looks around "Where's Rosaline?"

"What happened was I was on my way to her house and when I knocked on her door she told me to go away and not come back." Michael explains hugging her in tears.

Prue says "Andy and I will go over there later and talk to her ok, there's nothing to worry about." He nods

Piper asks Phoebe "Did you get everything we need to send him home?"

"Uh, yeah," Phoebe says

"He drinks this, while we say this, and he's gone." Phoebe says "Any idea on where you want to do this."

"In there…the stock room." Piper says

"Um, is this gonna take very long? Because you know," Prue says

"Go tell your boys you'll be back in a few minutes." Phoebe says

"Ain't love grand?" Cupid says

Michael sees the demon flame in and he panics and asks Phoebe "Can we go out there with them please?"

"Ok." Phoebe says

The demon says to himself "I should have known it was a trick. But I'll get to you soon my boy, count on it" And then flames out.

Prue and Piper come back out.

"Welcome back I was starting to get a little worried there." Dan says

Drazi slows everything down and walks up to the table "Dan. Piper still loves Leo. Always have always will. You are nothing more than geographically desirable after all a girl cant get much closer than the stud next door."

He walks over to Andy and says "Andy, Andy, Andy. You know Prue is using you ever since you found out she was a witch. She kept that secret from you."

He walks over to Prue and Piper "And now for you Piper."

At the back of the club Phoebe, Michael and Cupid are standing there Cupid feels the feeling again.

"What's wrong?" Phoebe asks

"I can't believe it." Cupid says

"What? Is it Drazi?" Phoebe asks

Cupid nods and Michael says "He's alive I knew it. I saw him on my way to Rosaline's house."

Back at the tables Drazi unfreezes the room as he leaves and Dan says "You know what why don't you just admit it? You're just using me to make Leo jealous, aren't you?"

"Oh, can you just leave him out of this." Piper says

"I'd love to. What about you?" Dan says

Andy says "I knew you were using me ever since I found out your secret."

"What? That is not true Andy." Prue says

Piper says "I can't believe your still threatened by him."

"You think I'm an idiot? You think I don't know?" Dan says

"Uh, you guys." Phoebe says

"Shut up." Prue, Piper, Andy and Dan all say.

"It isn't over between you two is it?" Dan asks

"I really don't think that's any of your business." Piper says

Prue says "Fine why don't we just end it?"

"Fine," Andy says

"We are dating, aren't we?" Dan asks

"No, we're not anymore." Piper says she grabs her necklace and says "You can have that back."

Michael runs to the stage and grabs the microphone and says "People calm down seriously."

Cupid looks at Phoebe and says "It's not them, Phoebe; they're caught in Drazi's spell."

"If he did this then why didn't you sense him?" Phoebe asks

"Because I thought he was dead." Cupid explains.

Prue turns around and says "You're still here?"

Piper says "You know what? None of this would have happened if you just left us alone. Now get out, get out of my club."

Cupid starts to go but Phoebe says "Uh, wait where are you going?"

"There's nothing I can do. They're trapped." Cupid says

"Oh, we are not trapped. For the first time in my life, I see things how they really are." Prue says "Now, whoever you are, whatever you're selling, just get out."

Phoebe says "No, no. don't, listen to me, ok? You guys are under a spell ok? This is not you, listen to me."

Piper says "If you're with him, why don't you go, too?"

"What?" Phoebe says and they walk away "No, you guys." She turns around to Cupid and says "We vanquished Drazi, how is this happening?"

"The ring must have saved him." Cupid says

"What so he's invincible now?" Phoebe asks

"Maybe not," Cupid says "Maybe if destroying the loves that I put together is killing me maybe the reverse is true. Patching things up between everybody just might kill him."

"But you can't do that without your ring." Phoebe says

"Well I've got you." Cupid says

"I'm sorry what?" Phoebe says

"Your heart's as big and as true as any I've ever seen, Phoebe" Cupid says "You'll be my ring."

"I'm…I—I'm flattered…I think, but I have no idea what you're talking about." Phoebe says

"You will. Come on." Cupid says "We've gotta start with the first couple Drazi tore apart."

They leave and Michael goes to the parking lot and shimmers out.

Manor

Michael shimmers in and throws an energy ball at the wall to let out his anger; the blue ball of energy almost rips a whole in the wall, the phone rings.

"Hello." Michael says only to receive no answer "Hello?" He tries again and he looks at the number "Rosaline?"

The demon flames in with Rosaline. He throws her to the ground and grabs Michael and forms a very high very powerful energy ball.

"Rosy." Michael says

"He said you wanted to talk so talk." She commands

"Look you are under a spell. Fight it." He says

"Is that all?" She asks. She leaves the kitchen and walks to the front door.

"Rosy wait," He says trying to run to her. The demon flames he and Michael into the other room.

"No, Michael I have waited. I'm sick of waiting, I'm sick of magic. I'm sick of you." She says. "This is the last time I will say this 'get out of my life.'"

"You'd really walk out in his time of need." The demon asks her.

"I don't care anymore." She challenges

"Really?" He asks and with a powerful throw and throws Michael into the wall making him hit a picture.

"Ow," He says getting up and the demon flames behind him and puts his arm around Michael's neck kind of like a choke hold. Michael tries to shimmer but once again nothing happened. "Let me go." He says.

The demon ignores Michael and conjures an energy ball and throws it at Rosaline but she dodges it. "See what I mean Michael?"

"Rosaline I…" He start but she puts her hand up

"No I don't want to hear it." She says and opens the door to find Prue and Piper walk in.

The demon recognizes the faces instantly "The Charmed Ones." He says throwing Michael into them and flames out.

Piper gets up and sees the demon flame out and she looks at Rosaline and says "Sweetie what's the matter?" She points to Michael "Get out of my house." Piper says.

"Piper listen I..." Michael says but Prue cuts him off.

"She said get out so get out." Prue says throwing her arm out sending Michael flying but he shimmers out.

Meanwhile Prue, Piper and Rosaline are sitting on the couch "I cannot believe Andy." Prue says. "Who the hell does he think he is?" she says

Piper says "Andy? What about Dan? We're out on a date, and he accuses me of being in love with someone else."

Rosaline says "Michael too they are just so out of line."

"We're better off without them." Piper says

"Certainly not worth crying over." Prue says

"I have never hated someone so much in my entire life." Piper says

"Me either." Prue says

"Same here," Rosaline says

"Although I have to admit…some of the things Dan said were kind of true." Piper says "I do think about Leo, sometimes."

"Andy wasn't wrong either I guess I was using him since he found out our secret." Prue says

"Still, it's all so weird. I mean, one minute the four of us are laughing and having a great time…" Piper says

"And the next we're all acting like we hate each other." Prue says. She groans.

"What?" Piper says

"I was just thinking about Drazi." Prue says.

"Wait who." Rosaline asks remembering what name Michael screamed earlier

"No way," Piper says "He couldn't have had anything to do with this. We vanquished him."

"Are you sure you did because I thought I heard Michael scream at him earlier when he came to get me?" Rosaline says getting up and leaving the house.

Somewhere

The demon flames in behind Drazi and says "We have something in common; we both want something that is guarded by the Charmed Ones right? Well if you help me get the boy and I'll help you get the Cupid. So what do you say?"

Drazi grins and shakes hands

Wherever Cupid and Phoebe are

They look at the floor above and Cupid says "There she is we gotta hurry."

"But wait I'm still not exactly sure what the plan is." Phoebe says

"It's simple just talk to her." Cupid says

"About what?" Phoebe says

"She's just the same as you. Her fears are your fears. Just pretend you're talking to yourself. Here she comes." Cupid says "Cindy." She looks at him "Hi."

"Do I know you?" She asks

"No, but we know you." Cupid says "And we know about Max. How is he?"

"I-I don't know, look, I'm really sorry about what happened, and I'm not even sure how it happened, but, um…I'm sorry" She says

Cupid says "Hurry. Hurry."

Phoebe runs to Cindy and says "Cindy. Cindy. Look, look. Um, sooner or later, Max's pain will go away, but yours won't."

"Excuse me" Cindy says

"I mean, it hasn't yet has it? The pain of love lost deepens…if you don't deal with it." Phoebe explains and Cindy walks away. "Look, I know. I know what it's like, believe me. I closed myself off of love, too, because I was afraid, but you know what? Fear and love cannot live in the same house."

Cupid says "You're getting to her."

"It's because the people that we love eventually leave us, so…we've given up on love." Phoebe says

"You mean love's given up on me?" Cindy says

"No." Phoebe says "It hasn't. It…can't. Your fear of loss has left you paralyzed. Believe me, I know. But you can change that. You can take the risk and love again. I mean, hey, they don't call it 'lover's leap' for nothing, right?"

"What?" Cindy says

"Actually, 'lover's leap' is a reference to suicide, Phoebe." Cupid says.

"Oh, um…let me rephrase that, um…go to Max. Push through whatever hate or fear or doubt that you think might exist between both of you." Phoebe says "Just tell him what's in your heart."

"I love him." Cindy says

"Then tell them that." Phoebe says "Now, before its too late."

"Who are you?" Cindy asks

"Messengers," Phoebe says

"Thank you." Cindy says.

"I'm starting to feel better already." Cupid says. "You're good."

"I was good, wasn't I?" She says

"Yes ma'am." He says

"So why do I feel that was more for my sake than for Cindy's?" Phoebe asks

"Oh, because in order to let love in, you have to overcome the obstacles within yourself," Cupid says.

Phoebe says "You know we have to reconnect Prue, Piper, and Mikey's love connection before it's too late."

"You know that the more couples we put back together, the more Drazi's gonna come looking for me, wherever I am." Cupid says

"Isn't that the plan?" Phoebe says

"Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you know what you're getting yourself into." Cupid says

Hospital

Max is in a wheelchair and Cindy walks up to him with Flowers "They didn't have any roses." Cindy says

"Cindy…" Max says

"I'm so sorry for whatever happened today" Cindy says "I don't know what came over me."

"It's ok it doesn't matter." Max says "I didn't mean it either. None of it,"

"Really?" Cindy says

"Really," Max says

Where Drazi and the demon are

Drazi feels something "Cupid…" He says "You think you can undo what I've done? You're dead!"

Jared's old apartment

Michael shimmers in hitting the wall and landing on the couch. What's going on with me? He says to himself in his mind. I just love the one I love and now I can't even be in a house that I live in. he looks up at the ceiling and says "Why?! Why must you guys put me through so much and have it be destroyed?!" he asks yelling.

Mikey! Is heard in his head "Phoebe?" he questions aloud shimmering out.

Commercial break

Manor

The doorbell rings and Piper gets it.

Andy and Dan walk in as Andy says "This better be good,"

"Am I supposed to know what you're talking about?" Piper says

Dan turns to Andy and says "Don't buy the innocent act. She pulls it all the time."

Piper looks at him and says "I beg your pardon."

"Just cut to the chase Piper, why'd you call?" Andy says

"What? I didn't…" Piper says

"Prue, I want to talk to you." Andy shouts upstairs.

"Wait, isn't this your number, 'come to my house a.s.a.p.'?" Dan asks

"Oh, that's really pathetic paging yourself?" Piper says

"Pathetic!" Dan says

"Prue!" Andy says

"Oh, I'm sorry, I meant moronic." Piper says

"Why are you here?" Prue asks Andy

"You called Morris and said I had to be here." Andy says

"Oh, you wish." Prue says

"What is going on?" Piper asks

"Hate…and it's got to stop." Phoebe says walking to them "I asked Andy and Dan to come over here."

"And what is he still doing here?" Piper asks

"Trying to help you," Cupid says

"No reason to hang around here that's for sure." Prue says

"Oh, on the contrary, everyone on the couch now," Phoebe says

"Phoebe, just mind your own business." Andy says

"Hey don't talk to my sister like that." Prue threatens

"Please…" Cupid says

"Ok. Everyone on the couch now," Phoebe says as Rosaline walks in the house. "Where's Michael?" Phoebe says

"I-I don't know he's gone. I can't find him anywhere." Rosaline says

"Like it matters," Prue says going to the couch. Michael shimmers in the kitchen and walks out.

"Phoebe, I don't understand." Piper says

"Ok, well be quiet and you will." Phoebe says "Sit."

Piper sits next to Prue who sits next to Andy who sits next to Michael. Dan stands beside Piper and Rosaline stands beside Michael.

Dan looks at Cupid and says "You don't look ok, are you all right?"

"I'm having a rough day." Cupid says

"But we can change that." Phoebe says "Uhh…you are all acting like you're under some kind of spell."

"Phoebe!" Prue, Piper, Andy and Michael all say at the same time

"What-would you stop thinking and just feel?" Phoebe says "Look I know some ugly things were said tonight, but you can get past that." Phoebe says

Prue says "Assuming that we want to."

"Prue I know you want to." Phoebe says

"Remember how you felt when you first met Andy?" Cupid says

"How would you know?" Andy says.

"Yeah I do." Prue says

"After a while he started to make you smile didn't he?" Cupid says "He made you laugh. Look at him again. Remember that."

"And, Piper, I watched you when you talked to Dan, and I see light and warmth and hope, and I know you feel that way. You still feel that way." Phoebe says "And, Dan, you don't need someone whispering in your ear telling you not to trust Piper. Trust yourself."

Dan looks at Piper and says "I'm not saying you have to tell me everything, but when you deliberately keep secrets from me, I-"

"It's not because I want to. I told you it has nothing to do with you." Piper says

"But does it have anything to do with Leo?" Dan asks

"No. it has to do with you and me and what I would like us to become." Piper says

Phoebe looks at Michael and Rosaline "Rosaline, do you remember when you first saw Michael at school?" she nods "Well, I hear Michael everyday say how nice and sweet you are to him and others. He even risked his life to find you when you were missing because he felt love."

Rosaline looks down at Michael and says "You did?"

"Yes. I told you I love you." Michael says

Cupid walks over to Phoebe and says "It's working."

"Where is he?" Phoebe asks

"He's close." Cupid says

"Ok, uh, here's the plan. Andy, Dan go down to the corner market and get…whatever you want. If the food of love is Cheetos and soda then play on. And can you get a couple of frozen pizzas?" Phoebe asks

"So you want to talk?" Andy says

"Yes, very good, Andy," Phoebe says "Very good you're quick."

Dan says "I'll drive."

"Yeah ok take your time." Phoebe says "Don't hurry bye-bye"

As they close the door Drazi and The demon flame in

Prue says "Ok what the hell is going on?"

"Look" Phoebe says "Think. Do you guys remember Drazi? Well, he's still alive and if Cupid's right, he is on his way here as we speak. Whatever bad feelings you've had for Dan and Andy, Drazi did it. He's twisted your relationships with hate."

"So what do we do now?" Piper asks

"Exactly what you're doing right now, you let Andy, Dan and Michael back into your hearts." Phoebe says

"Hello, lover boy." Drazi says

"Miss me?" The demon says to Michael.

Drazi runs his hand into Cupid's chest "I should have finished you off the first time." The demon flames out and Piper freezes the room as everyone gets up.

"Ok, so much for loving him to death. What do we do with him now?" Piper asks

"Same thing, only different," Phoebe says

"Been there blew that." Prue says

"Yeah only difference is the ring…won't be protecting him." She takes it off of Drazi "It will be protecting him." She puts it on Cupid.

"How can you be sure?" Piper asks

"I can't." Phoebe says grabbing the bowl with the potion "but love is a risk. If he's taught me anything it's that." She throws the potion at Drazi and he turns into black goo and disappears.

"Is he gone this time?" Piper asks

"Yeah, he's defiantly gone" Cupid says

"How do you know?" Piper asks

"Because I've never felt better," He says "I knew you could do it." He Looks at Phoebe. "And now I have to go." He says

"I know." Phoebe says

He disappears and the demon flames in behind Michael and grabs him. "Thought you lost me there, didn't you?" He says forming an energy ball and throws it but Prue deflects it.

"Piper," Prue says and Piper tries to freeze him but he shakes it off.

He sends his own telekinetic blast at the sisters and he looks at Rosaline and forms a large fireball "Stop." Michael says.

"Shut up." He says "This will totally bring me back on top in the underworld."

He is about to throw the fireball but Prue squints her eyes and sends the two flying. Michael lands head first into the wall and the demon landing on the floor sliding.

The demon gets up and says "Well, they are more powerful than I thought." He grabs the now unconscious Michael and flames them out

Rosaline's house

Rosaline is sitting in her room with a map and a crystal trying to find Michael. She sees bright white lights surround the room, hoping only for a second that it was Michael, but when the lights disappear Leo is in the room.

"Leo?" Rosaline asks "Michael's missing." She says.

"I know that is why the elders are giving you the gift to orb and go to the underworld under cover to find him but be careful." He says orbing out.

Underworld

Michael is on the ground when he wakes up and sees the demon and two guards. The guards grab him. Michael feels his arm go numb then feels pain "Ah." He says

"Yes drain his power." The demon says "You will be home with your family in the underworld soon and forever."

"Wh-who are you?" Michael says

"That doesn't matter. What matters is who you are, Michael Matthew Gonzalez. Cousin of the most powerful witches of all time, the Charmed Ones," The demon says

"What?" Michael says

"Jared Russell Gonzalez son of Pearl Russell and Anton," He says "And you being the first born Demon\witch in the charmed line you're the most powerful and strongest or at least until I weaken you and steal yours and your cousins' powers." He flames out.
