Disclaimer – I DON'T OWN CHARMED

Recap – It was now or never. Penny had a plan. The question was what? Later that night Prue sat in a cushioned swinging bench watching the soft clouds drift by. Little did she know, this serene picture would soon be shattered.

Chapter Two

"Ah!" Phoebe Halliwell cried, dodging an oncoming fireball. That was it! She couldn't take it anymore. First, a changeling showed up a week ago that the sisters still hadn't vanquished and now a warlock. Could things get any worse?

"Phoebe! Look out!" She turned at the sound of Piper's voice and dodged yet another fireball thrown, this time, by the warlock's companion. Piper sighed. This was getting quite aggravating.

"You know, after seven years of warlocks, demons, and other slightly annoying creatures you would think that they would have some common sense and leave us alone!" Piper exclaimed as she blew up the warlocks with the quick motion of her hands. She took a quick look around the foyer. The grandfather clock lay shattered on the hardwood floor and the flower vases just sprinkles of glass around the flowers arranged on the table in the center of the room.

"Great, Looks like the clock and vases will have to be replaced again!" Piper said, annoyed. She turned to her younger sister and spoke wearily.

"Phoebe, Where is –"A flurry of blue lights interrupted Piper bringing her youngest sister with them.

"- Paige." The young women in question smiled sheepishly.

"Hey guys. Did I miss anything?" Paige asked.

"Only a few warlocks and their fireballs." Phoebe answered sending her sister a questioning look.

"Paige! Where were you? What if the changeling demon had shown up and we needed the Power of Three spell!" Piper questioned. She glared at Paige and crossed her arms across her chest waiting silently for an answer.

"Whoa. Piper calm down! I was just grading some papers at Magic School." Piper sighed. That was a relief. She had begun to worry when Paige didn't answer her call. The small wail of Baby Chris sounded from the kitchen. Piper turned and pushed thoughts of demons out of head. All she wanted right now was to tend to her son. Phoebe put a slim hand on her older sister's shoulder to halt her.

"Wait, Piper. I'll feed Chris. You go take a nap." Smiling in thanks Piper turned and went up the stairs into the room that belonged to her and Leo. She lay down on the soft bed and closed her tired eyes, letting sleep overcome her. Watching her sister go Paige turned to Phoebe.

"Well. That went well. I think I'll go upstairs and finish that vanquishing spell before Piper wakes up and chews my head off." Paige then too, headed up to the second floor of the old Victorian home. Phoebe chuckled lightly. Before heading into the kitchen where Chris waited Phoebe checked on Wyatt in the sunroom. It was times like this when Phoebe missed Prue the most.

The golden doors of the quiet hall burst open and hit the wall with a loud bang.

"Patti! We need to talk." Penny said urgently. She raced through the clouds to where her daughter stood under a cluster of apple trees. Patti, who, had been about to pick an apple off a nearby tree, turned to face a rather flustered Penny.

"Mother, what's the matter? Is everything all right? Are the girls hurt?" Patti asked rather worried. Penny took a breath and tried to calm her daughter.

"No! Calm down. Everything is fine. I just have this little idea that just might make Prue and the others happier."

"Really? What is your idea Mother?" Patti asked warily. It wasn't that she didn't trust her mother. It just seemed that her plans caused more trouble than good, no matter how good her intentions were.

"Why, bring Prue back to life of course!" Patti stared at her mother. She was certainly startled. So much so in fact that only one word formed on her lips.

"WHAT!"
