"Well, I gotta go! Bye!" Phoebe said and hurried out the front door.
"Wow... that girl needs a break!" Piper sighed. Then she headed towards the kitchen, where Melissa was poking at the truth potion.
"Aunt Piper... What's in this?" Melissa asked suspiciously. "I think you added too much rosemary... the smell is just too overpowering!" Melissa mumbled. "To balance it out, I'd recommend a touch of... basil!" She smiled brightly.
"Melissa! Don't touch that!" Piper said crossly. "And... why do you think... Hey you're right!" Piper said, looking incredibly shocked.
"Yup! I've been reading the Book of Shadows, and it says a pinch, not a teaspoon!" Melissa said. "Anyway, I need to get meet Sarah. She's gonna tell me how to make Gingerbread men!" Melissa grinned.
"Melissa, don't-" Piper said, but Melissa was already out of the door. "-Talk to strangers.." Piper finished.
"Piper!!!!" Paige orbed in and fell on the floor. "Demon at 6 o'clock!" Paige said, just as a Darklighter appeared.
"Aunt Piper, I forgot my ba-" Melissa came in, but the Darklighter lunged at her. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" She screamed.
"Meliss-" Piper shouted. But it was too late. The Darklighter grabbed Melissa and disappeared.
