Chapter 19: Conditions

"Ok, we're in. Now where are they?" asked Piper. "And where's my husband?" She and her sisters had reached the Elders' place.

"Um…I guess they're over there." Said Paige, as she led them to an area which had a large table, and some Elders sat around it. Leo was standing behind them.

"Sit here." Commanded an Elder.

"Well, you may know why are we up here, right?" asked Paige.

"Whitelighter named Leo Wyatt had told us everything. If we're not wrong, you want to talk about the whitelighter named Andrew Trudeau, and want we to release him back." Said another elder.

"Yes, and if you don't accept it, your precious Charmed Ones won't exist anymore." Said Piper. She kind of afraid, but because this is for her oldest sister, so she must be brave, she thought so.

"What do you mean won't exist?" asked an elder, worrying.

"It means we won't work for you, end of story." Answered Prue, hopefully their plan will work and Andy'll back with her again.

"We need to reunion." Said the elders, then they whispered with each other something, and turned out. "You won't do that, want or not, the demons will come after you."

"Well, that's impossible 'cause we'll bind our own powers forever. So we'll back with our old happy day!" replied Paige. 'This is near the end' she thought. After that the Elders had a reunion again. "We decided to decline your condition, the Charmed Ones. We're sure you love your form as witches and won't do that. Beside, if you don't want to be a witch, so as you go. We don't care." Said one of the elders. It made Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Leo and Cole al surprise. "Oops. What should we do now?" whisper Phoebe with Piper.

"Um…I really don't know. Do you have plan B?" replied Piper. Just then Cole had an idea. "Let me handle this." He said, and went toward.

"Belthazor!" said an Elder, as he stood back, like defense.

"It's ok, I'm good now. I'm coming as a lawyer for the Charmed Ones." Replied Cole.

"So what do you have for us?" joined Leo.

"Let's see…Base on your rule number 2810, a present for someone will be their forever. And rule number 7235, said a promise couldn't break, right?" started Cole, as he turned the pages of a book.

"Yes, it's right. So what?"

"Well, whitelighter Andrew Trudeau was our present for Prudence Halliwell, so he's her. And if I right, Andy had promised Prue that he'll back. And is that enough for what we want?" retort Cole, while he showed them a vision of the party. Then the Elders turned around for another reunion, and the lawyer back to his seat.

"See? My choice to marry him is very, very right." Said Phoebe, while she leaned to kiss him.

"Wait wait wait. How can you know what Andy said to me before orbed away?" asked Prue, couldn't believe that.

"You know, our room is the nearest of yours, and we heard almost everything. You nearly yell, not just talk." Replied Phoebe, smiled.

"Damn it. You heard everything I told him, like he told me?"

"Um…Yes. I'm sorry, but we won't keep it long, and promise next time we'll put tons of cotton wool into our ears. Right Cole?" Phoebe replied, made her sisters laughed.

"Yeah. Beside, if we didn't hear you, how could we take that as evidence? Everything happens for a reason." Replied Cole, then the Elders announced. 'Please accept, please accept.' Prue begged to herself.

"Well, this is our answer." Said an elder.
