Scene: A bedroom. Boy, aabout 15, 16, or 17, is asleep in the bed. He is tossing and turning.

(In his dream, a tornado spins though the doors of the Manor, a house he has never seen before. The tornado turns into Shax. The tornado knocks down Piper and Prue, who he has never met. Prue stands up, pushes a man away from Shax, and Shax throws an energy ball at her. She goes flying through a wall. Piper stands up and Shax throws an energy ball at her too. She flies through the remaining part of the window. He wakes up.)

Scene: The attic. Piper is flipping through the Book of Shadows. Paige hastily runs in.

Paige: Piper! What do you know about a Hive demon?

Piper: The minion demons kill witches and steal their powers to bring back to the Queen as part of a mating ritual. Why?

(The attic door explodes. A demon with black eyes, yellow skin and black tribal marks walks in. He has an energy ball in his hand. He throws it at the girls. Paige grabs Piper's shoulder and orbs in place to avoid the energy ball.)

Paige: Piper, freeze him. (Piper waves her hands. The demon stops as an energy ball leaves his hand.)

Piper: Quick, find the spell! (Paige flips through the book nervously.) Wait! There it is!

Piper, Paige: Spirits I see, take this entity. Malicious evil bee, with these words I vanquish thee. (The demon unfreezes and explodes into particles.)

Piper: Hm…that was too easy.

Paige: Well, it says here in the Book, you have to vanquish the Queen to vanquish the minions.

Piper: And to vanquish the Queen, we will have to find her and use the Power of Three.

Paige: Where's Pheebs?

Scene: The Bay Mirror building. Phoebe and Elise are the only ones there.

Elise: Phoebe!

Phoebe: Yes, Elise?

Elise: I'm leaving; don't forget to close up when you leave! (Elise leaves.)

Phoebe: Geez, all this work is stressing me out! (She picks up her papers and packs them into her bag. She takes off her glasses and puts them in a case. She turns her desk lamp off and leaves her cubicle. She reaches for the doorknob and gets a strong premonition: Elise is in a brightly lit room and is hit by a powerful energy ball. Elise goes up in flames and is vanquished. Paige and Piper with herself and the premonition ends.) Oh, my goodness! (Phoebe runs out of the building into the parking lot and sees no one or anything there in darkness.)



Opening Credits

Scene: The mansion's sun room, the next morning. Paige and Phoebe are sitting in chairs drinking coffee.

Paige: So you saw Elise being vanquished?

Phoebe: Yes. Actually, I don't know. I don't know if she was vanquished like a demon or killed like a human.

Paige: Speaking of demons, Piper and I had to vanquish a potential Power of Three demon with the Power of Two, because someone was working overtime.

Phoebe: Sorry, I just had a lot of work to do.

Paige: Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's new? (Paige and Phoebe laugh a little bit. Leo orbs in.)

Leo: Hey, Paige, Phoebe.

Paige, Phoebe: Hi.

Leo: Where's Piper?

Paige: Oh, she went to work at P3. You know, preparing for the big, ol' 'Going-Out-Of-Business' party?

Phoebe: Wow, it's only been two years since P3 opened and now our little Piper is moving on to bigger and better things. What's she doing next, going on to a restaurant?

Leo: I guess that's her plan.

Paige: She told me that she was going to call it P3. I'm not sure if she was kidding or not.

(Another Hive demon shimmers in and throws an energy ball at Phoebe. Her chair tumbles backwards and she backwards-somersaults into the living room.)

Phoebe: Paige! What is this?

Paige: Hive demon. Only way to kill them all is to locate and vanquish the Queen. (The demon throws an energy ball at Paige, who is standing front of Leo's chair. The ball hits Paige and she fall backwards onto Leo. She and Leo fall backwards in the chair. They both orb. Paige appears next to Phoebe.) I told Leo to go to the Elders to find the Queen.

Phoebe: Good, so meanwhile, how do we get rid of bee winged freak over there? (He throws another ball, it hits her. She falls down, but is still conscious. The demon approaches Paige. Phoebe kicks him. He falls down.)



Paige: Spirits I see, take this entity. Malicious evil bee, with these words I vanquish thee. (The demon boils and explodes. Paige looks at Phoebe and gives a sigh of relief.) You know, what's funny about these Hive demons? They are WAY too easy to vanquish.

Phoebe: Well, hun, I have to go get ready for work. (Phoebe walks into the foyer and up the stairs. Paige walks into the kitchen and the book's pages move by themselves. The pages stop on the spell "To Summon a Spirit.")

Time lapse. P3. Piper is at the bar, polishing glasses. There is a banner down the side of the stairs that reads 'Going out of Business party. Enjoy P3 for the last time on August 31.' Paige walks down the stairs.

Paige: Hey, Piper.

Piper: Hello Paige. What are you doing here?

Paige: Visiting you. Is there some kind of rule against that?

Piper: No, not at all. What's up?

Paige: Well, it's these Hive demons. It's just stressing me out. The faster we vanquish that bitch Queen, the better.

Piper: Oh, yeah. I know. It's probably the worst on Phoebe; I mean Elise has been piling up the letters for the column and Cole being…well, Cole.

Paige: Speaking of Elise, Phoebe had a premonition of Elise being killed. But demonically.

Piper: You mean she was killed by a demon…or she died like a demon.

Paige: Door number two. And speaking of Phoebe, I'm supposed to meet her for lunch, so I'll see you at home. (Paige hugs Piper across the bar and orbs out.)

Piper: I swear if she keeps doing that, magic won't be very foreign much longer.

Scene: An outdoor restaurant. Phoebe and Paige are sitting at a table, looking at menus.

Phoebe: Ugh, Paige, you have no idea how hard it is to be constantly seeing Elise and knowing how she is going to die

Paige: Oh, yeah. I bet it's real hard. What happened to 'Well, there's always time to change the future.'?

Phoebe: Who said that?

Paige: Leo. Remember, when you accidently summoned little Phoebe and senile Phoebe? (Phoebe smiles)



Phoebe: Oh, yeah. I remember that. However I think that spell was a waste of time and good magic energy.

Paige: But senile Phoebe was kind of funny. (The waiter comes over. It's the boy.)

Boy: Hello ladies. What would you like?

Paige: I'd like the Caesar salad with water to drink. (The boy starts writing when he drops his pen.)

Boy: Oops.

Phoebe: Oh, I'll get it. (Phoebe bends down and grabs the pen and has a premonition: The boy is being chased down a hallway and there are energy balls being thrown at him and the premonition ends.)

Boy: Miss, are you alright?

Phoebe: Peachy. I'd like a garden salad with water. (The waiter writes down Phoebe's order and walks away.) Paige! I just had another premonition.

Paige: Really? Who is the innocent this time? The president?

Phoebe: No. It's our waiter.

Time lapse. Paige is at home. Paige finds the book is open and starts talking to herself.

Paige: Leo! (Leo orbs in.)

Leo: What do you need Paige?

Paige: Leo, I just came home and the book was open to this page. "To Summon a Spirit." Piper and Phoebe told me the book moves by itself sometimes is that true?

Leo: Yes, normally it does that if there is a purpose behind the spell, potion, or ritual on the page.

Paige: So does that mean I should cast the spell?

Leo: Well, Piper- - -

Paige: I'll face the wrath of Piper later. I want to find out why the book opened to this page. (Paige sets up a circle of candles and recites the spell.) Here these words, hear my cry spirit from the other side. Come to me, I summon thee, cross now the Great Divide. (There is a glow from inside the circle of candles. An unseen voice talks to Paige.)

Voice: Hello, Paige. (Paige smiles.)
