Author's Note: Thank you for the review, Boris Yeltsin. It was much appreciated. :) To answer your question, it's just as I said. The reason it took longer to get out 5x01 and 5x02 after 4x22 is because I was writing all of the Season 5 scripts in advance, which are all now already written, which means all I have to do is proofread each chapter before posting them. It helps that I'm not in school or employed, so I just work on the fic non-stop, aside from cleaning/eating/sleeping.
Y Tu Mummy Tambien
[Scene: An apartment. A man rushes in carrying a woman. He lays her on the couch.]
Man: Crystal. Where's the crystal?
Woman: It's over there.
Man: Where?
Woman: In the cabinet.
(The man rushes over to a cabinet and searches through it. He finds a crystal and a map.)
Man: Got it. (The woman sighs and closes her eyes.) Isis. (He rushes to her side.) Isis! Don't die on me, not yet. Not until we can find you another body. Call upon the witch within. Use her powers.
Isis: I don't have the strength.
Man: Find the strength. It's the only way.
Isis: Okay. (She scrys for a witch with the crystal and the map.) I found one.
Man: Good. Can you tell? Is she powerful enough to hold your spirit?
Isis: I don't know.
(She dies.)
Man: Until we meet again, my love. (He hears the sirens of police cars and three pull up outside. Four policemen get out.) Like moths to a flame.
[Cut to outside.]
Darryl: Remember, nobody's taken him yet, so watch your backs, and follow my lead. Any questions? Let's go.
(They run up the stairs.)
[Cut to the apartment.]
Man: "Saqqara tiet ushebti."
(Isis is mummified. A large brooch in the shape of a beetle appears on the mummy's chest. The man turns to sand. The police barge in through the door.]
Darryl: Clear! Freeze!
(They check all the rooms.)
Policeman: Clear in the bathroom. Clear in the bedroom.
(Darryl walks over to the pile of sand and picks up a handful.)
Policeman #2: Everything's locked from the inside. How'd he get out of here?
Darryl: You don't wanna know.
Opening Credits
[Scene: A maternity clothes shop. Phoebe and Paige are waiting outside changing rooms.]
Paige: Okay, my hair is turning white out here. Come out already.
Piper's Voice: No.
Paige: Come on, it can't be that bad.
(Prue and Piper, with their pregnant stomachs now showing, part the curtains and walk out of changing rooms wearing maternity clothes. Prue puts her hands on her hips and Piper crosses her arms.)
Phoebe: Aww, it's cute.
Prue: We don't wanna be cute. (She stands in front of a mirror.) I can't believe I let you talk me into this.
Paige: Oh, your pants weren't even buttoning anymore. Come on.
Piper: Well, we could've gone up a size, or two. We don't need to resort to maternity clothes.
Prue: Everything is just so bright and cheery and ruffley. This thing makes me look like a-
Saleswoman: Adorable! (The saleswoman comes over to them.) Absolutely adorable. I think it's you.
Piper: Hmm, I guess you don't know us very well, do you?
Paige: Piper.
Prue: Look, do you have anything that will go with combat boots? You know, something for the mom-to-bes who kick some ass upon occasion? You know, something in black, or grey?
Saleswoman: I'll check. Aw, motherhood.
(She pats their stomachs and walks away.)
Piper: Okay, explain to me the touching thing.
Prue: Yeah, why are our stomachs suddenly public property and perfect strangers are always touching us?
Piper: It's weird space invasion. (Paige rubs her neck.) Are you listening?
Paige: No, I'm not.
Phoebe: Neither am I. What's the matter with your neck?
Paige: It's this cramp. I've had it for a couple of days now.
Phoebe: Well, why don't you get a massage?
(Prue and Piper look through a rack of clothes.)
Paige: Oh, yeah, I'll pencil that in. Right between vanquishing demons and training to be your midwife.
(Piper holds up an ugly pale pink dress.)
Phoebe: No.
(Piper puts the dress back.)
Piper: Well, A, I don't need midwives, because I'm delivering with a doctor, not sisters.
Prue: Well, that's just you, Piper.
Piper: And B, you need to start taking care of yourself, because you've actually been working harder than when you were working.
(Prue's phone rings. She answers it.)
Prue: Hello? Oh, hey, Darryl. You're at our house?
[Scene: Manor. Living room. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Darryl are there. Prue and Piper are fidgeting with the maternity outfits they're still wearing and Phoebe is busy painting her toenails. Darryl hands Prue a sketch of the man in the first scene.]
Darryl: Five murders, five cities. But this is the first one in San Francisco. We were hot on his tail following a tip and then he just vanished.
Paige: That's creepy. He's killing his victims and then mummifying them. What gives?
Darryl: That's why I came here. I was hoping you could tell me.
Piper: Well, just because it's creepy, doesn't mean it's demonic. I mean, there's plenty of human wackos out there.
(Prue and Piper continue to fidget with their outfits.)
Phoebe: Stop fidgeting, will you? You look fine.
Prue: We look ridiculous.
Paige: You look fine.
Phoebe: You look so cute.
Darryl: If you ask me, there's nothing more beautiful than a preg-
(He reaches to touch their stomachs and they stop him.)
Prue: Do it and you pull back a bloody stub.
Phoebe: They're a little sensitive right now.
Darryl: I can see that.
(Phoebe finishes her toenails and stands up.)
Darryl: Look, I think that the victim may have been a witch. So if she was, maybe they all were, which means you need to watch your backs. In each case, there's been a pile of sand found by the mummy. My guess is it's got something to do with how he escapes.
(Prue looks at a picture of the mummy.)
Prue: What's with the bug on the chest?
Piper: I'll have Leo ask the Elders about that.
Prue: Then I'll have Cole check with Ryu Clan. Okay, let's go to the crime scene. Who's driving?
Darryl: Whoa, who says you're going to the crime scene?
Phoebe: Is that a problem?
Darryl: Only for my reputation. Look, it's taken me a long time to lose the freaky deaky rap, and no offence, but I don't need it back right now.
Paige: Freaky deaky rap?
Darryl: You know what I mean.
Phoebe: Why can't you just tell them that we're psychics like you usually do?
Darryl: I can't risk it. I'm up for promotion, and if I get passed over this time, there's not gonna be a next time.
Paige: Alright, what do you want us to do?
Darryl: The right thing as usual. Come on, follow me. (They head for the door. Darryl stops and points at Prue and Piper.) No, not you two. You're pregnant.
Piper: So?
Prue: We're also invincible and self healing.
Darryl: You gonna tell the other inspectors that? Look, I'm sorry, but not even pregnant cops are allowed at crime scenes because of the forensic chemicals.
Phoebe: Okay, well, we'll go. You two stay here and look in the Book of Shadows for mummies.
Paige: Mummies.
(She touches their stomachs. Prue slaps her hand aside.)
Piper: Nah.
Commercial Break
[Scene: Coroner's Examination Room. A coroner is there, examining the mummy, which is lying on a table.]
Coroner: The linen wrapping, though curiously airtight, appears to be of a thread count more consistent with a hand weave. After I cut into it, forensics should test and date the sample. Alright. Let's see what's inside.
(He picks up a hand saw and touches the mummy. A protective shield surrounds the mummy and electrocutes the coroner, sending him flying across the room. The man from the first scene walks into the room and over to the mummy.)
Man: Nobody messes with you, do they, my love? Sorry for leaving you back there, but I needed to check on your next body. I think you're going to like it.
(He touches the mummy and they both turn into sand.)
[Scene: Apartment hallway. A police officer stands at the doorway. Phoebe, Paige, and Darryl head for the apartment.]
Darryl: They're with me.
Police Officer: Hold it, Inspector. They've gotta sign in.
Darryl: Right, sorry.
Phoebe: Phoebe Halliwell.
Paige: Uh, Paige Matthews.
Police Officer: Field of expertise?
Phoebe: We're psychics.
(The officer gives Darryl a look.)
Darryl: You got a problem with that, officer?
Officer: No, sir. (He chuckles and mumbles to himself.) Psychics.
Phoebe: Your girlfriend's cheating on you, by the way.
(Phoebe, Paige, and Darryl walk into the apartment.)
Darryl: Look, forensics has been all through here, so you can touch anything you want. Just, uh, make it quick, okay? (His pager beeps.) I'll be back.
(Darryl leaves. Phoebe and Paige start to look around the apartment.)
Phoebe: Yeah, she was definitely a witch. Look at all this stuff. (Phoebe picks something up and tries to get a premonition. She spots a map on the floor.) Look, a map. (She then sees a crystal.) Oh, she was definitely...
Paige: Scrying?
Phoebe: Yeah, but the question is, for what?
Paige: Steal it.
Phoebe: I'm sorry?
Paige: I think I know a way of figuring this out at home.
Phoebe: Paige, that's evidence. I can't steal evidence.
Paige: Crystal.
(The crystal orbs into Paige's hand. Darryl walks in and Paige quickly hides the crystal behind her back.)
Darryl: Did you get anything?
Paige: No, god, not a thing. But we'll see you later.
(They rush out of the apartment.)
[Scene: Manor. Attic. Prue and Piper are standing in front of a mirror fidgeting with their maternity clothes. Prue starts to walk away, then stops, and stands back in front of the mirror. They poke out their stomachs.]
Leo: I think you look beautiful, Piper.
(They spin around to see Cole and Leo there watching them. Cole goes over to Prue and puts his arms around her.)
Cole: And you are always beautiful.
(They kiss.)
Piper: How long have you two been standing there?
Leo: A minute or two.
Piper: Well, that's just not fair.
Cole: We were mesmerized.
Piper: Oh, please.
Leo: No, we were, Piper. (He walks over to her.) I think you look absolutely stunning and I can't believe that you don't think you do.
Cole: Or you. Your pride is one of the things I fell in love with.
Prue: No, it's not that.
Piper: It's just…. It's like suddenly we're wearing these big fat neon sign that says, 'Look out, everybody, they're pregnant, be careful', and everybody's treating us so differently. We're still us. There's just a whole lot more of us going on.
(Phoebe and Paige walk in.)
Paige: Hey, guys. Did you find anything?
Prue: Yeah, the demon, maybe. (She walks over to the Book of Shadows.) His name is Jeric, and apparently he's been at this for quite some time, only back then the killings were isolated to the Middle East. Cairo, Istanbul, Tripoli….
Cole: Actually, he goes all the way back to Ancient Egypt, but they didn't have the power to vanquish him then, so they just mummified him instead.
Phoebe: So how did Jeric get de-mummified?
Cole: Oh, uh, some evil witch cast a spell which released him, and then they fell in love, and she got killed by his enemies. Flayed alive, if memory serves. Poor guy's been wracked with guilt. He's been trying to find a replacement body ever since.
Phoebe: Oh, that'd almost be romantic if he hadn't killed so many witches
Paige: Wait. So what's he doing here?
Cole: Probably the same thing he's been doing. Trying to find the perfect body for his lover, Isis. He keeps trying to find a body to host her spirit, but the bodies keep dying.
Paige: No, you mean the witches keep dying.
Leo: Right, well, two spirits can't occupy the same body. The invading spirit overloads it.
Cole: That's why he's been trying to find a witch with enough magic for Isis to use to dispossess the host body.
Piper: Of course.
Phoebe: Are you telling me she's going to evict someone from their own body? That's rude.
Leo: Basically, yeah.
Paige: Okay, so what do mummies have to do with any of this?
Cole: Well, he mummifies the corpse to trap Isis' spirit to keep her from moving on until he can find a new body.
Paige: That must be what she's scrying for. (Paige walks over to a map and scrys with the crystal.) "Scrying secrets come to me/Drop again so I might see."
Phoebe: See what?
(The crystal drops onto a spot on the map.)
Piper: Well, that's us.
(Jeric materializes out of sand.)
Jeric: (to Phoebe) Great body. Mind if I borrow it for a while?
Phoebe: Yeah, I do.
Piper: Phoebe, no!
(Phoebe goes to kick Jeric and he grabs her leg. They both turn to sand.)
Commercial Break
[Scene: Manor. Dining room. Prue, Paige, Cole, and Leo are there. Paige is scrying for Phoebe and Leo is trying to sense Phoebe. Piper walks in.]
Piper: Anything?
Leo: No.
Piper: What about you?
Paige: Nothing.
Piper: Well, this is just unacceptable, people. We've got all the magic in the world here. There's gotta be a way. We cannot not find Phoebe.
Paige: Unless….
Piper: No, no unless, she is not dead. She is possessed and that is all.
Cole: She's right. Jeric needs her body.
Prue: Well, how long can she last until she burns up?
Cole: I don't know.
Leo: Probably not long.
Piper: All the more reason to find her faster. You keep scrying, you keep sensing.
Cole: It's no use, Piper. Jeric is blocking her signal.
Piper: But you said even if Phoebe was possessed, she would be aware of what's going on.
Leo: But there's nothing that she can do about it. The invading spirit is suppressing hers.
(The phone rings. Prue answers it.)
Prue: Hello?
Darryl: Guess what? The mummy's missing.
Prue: What? Hold on. I'm gonna put you on speaker phone. Say that again.
(She turns on the speaker phone.)
Darryl: The mummy's missing, the coroner's dead, and I'm screwed.
Piper: Why is the mummy missing?
Paige: How are you screwed?
Darryl: Because they're blaming me for losing him in the first place, which means if I don't find him….
Paige: Bye-bye promotion.
Darryl: It pales in comparison to a killer demon being on the loose, I know. But, you know, it still matters to me and my family.
Prue: Yes, well, speaking of family, we've got a few problems of our own here.
Darryl: What's wrong?
Prue: Uh, I'll catch you up later.
(Prue hangs up the phone.)
Paige: Prue.
Prue: I'm sorry, but we need to concentrate on Phoebe.
Paige: Okay, well, we can't leave Darryl high and dry after everything he's done for this family. There's gotta be something we can do.
Piper: Well, short of helping him arrest the demon, I'm not sure what we can really do.
Leo: Well, I have an idea, but I have to break some rules.
Paige: So I think you should break a few rules then. We owe him.
Piper: You're right. You go do what you gotta do, and we're gonna do what we have to do.
[Scene: Egypt. A pyramid. Jeric walks in carrying an unconscious Phoebe. He places her on a table. Close by is another table where the mummy lays. He gets a bug amulet from the mummy table and takes it over to Phoebe, which he places on her chest. Jeric stands between the two tables and outstretches his arms.]
Jeric: "Khet mastaba hotep ka."
(A beam of light shoots out of the mummy and into Phoebe. Phoebe wakes up and gasps. Jeric goes over to her.]
Jeric: Easy, not so fast. (He smiles.) Welcome back, my love.
(He kisses her.)
Commercial Break
[Scene: Egypt. Pyramid. Jeric is sitting on a chair eating a bunch of grapes. Phoebe/Isis, wearing a two-piece jewelled outfit, dances into the room and over to Jeric. She dances in the spot in front of Jeric.]
Jeric: Glad to see you're feeling so alive.
Phoebe/Isis: It's this body. I've never felt so much power before, passion, desire.
Jeric: Maybe I should leave you two alone.
Phoebe/Isis: No. Just because the witch is in me, doesn't mean there's not still room for you too.
Jeric: Tempting. But I suggest you try to rid yourself of her first. You come up with a spell?
(She dances around him.)
Phoebe/Isis: The witch's knowledge was very useful.
Jeric: Then by all means, reward her. Send her spirit into the afterlife. (He stands up and gets a piece of paper.) Hopefully she'll have enough power to make it work.
(He hands her the paper.)
Phoebe/Isis: "Together no more through time/Expel her soul, leave only mine."
(She burns the paper in the candle.)
Jeric: Well?
Phoebe/Isis: I can still hear her thoughts.
Jeric: Then you have to try again.
(Phoebe/Isis starts to sweat and shake.)
Jeric: Oh, no. It can't be. The others lasted longer.
Phoebe/Isis: Maybe the more powerful the witch, the quicker the burnout. But I bet the Power of Four could fix that permanently.
Jeric: The Power of Four. That might work. I'll get it for you. How do you feel about redheads?
[Scene: A dock. Leo is waiting there. Darryl pulls up in his car and gets out.]
Darryl: Leo, what are you doing here?
Leo: I'm here to help you.
Darryl: Well, Leo, I don't have time for this. Somebody called me and said the killer was here.
Leo: I know. I made the call. I figured it'd look good for you if you caught the guy.
Darryl: You did? Where is he? (Leo morphs into Jeric.) What are you doing? You can't-
Jeric/Leo: Go on. Arrest me.
(Darryl starts to freak out. Sirens are heard down the street.)
Darryl: Leo, I…. We are…. We are not going to do this.
Leo: Come on, before the other cops get here.
Darryl: I am not going to arrest you. (Jeric/Leo punches him in the face.) What'd you do that for?
Jeric/Leo: I'd hit me back if I were you.
Darryl: I am not going to do this.
(The police car pulls up. Jeric/Leo lunges at Darryl and Darryl pushes Jeric/Leo against a wall.)
Darryl: What are you doing?
Jeric/Leo: Helping you out.
(Darryl grabs his arms and handcuffs him.)
Darryl: This is really, really not a good thing.
Jeric/Leo: Ow.
(Two police officers walk over.)
Police Officer: Way to go, Inspector. Good job.
Darryl: Thanks.
(They take Jeric/Leo to the police car.)
[Scene: Manor. Attic. Prue, Piper, Paige, and Cole are there sitting in front of a map. Prue is scrying.]
Piper: I'm telling you, it's not going to work. We've already tried it. As have I and the baby.
Prue: Yeah, well, my babies and I haven't. And I have two babies, not just one, which means makeshift Power of Three.
(The crystal starts circling out of control above the map.)
Prue: Whoa.
Piper: What's happening?
Prue: I don't know.
(The crystal flings itself across the room and lands on a globe. Prue, Piper, and Paige race over to the globe and notice the crystal has landed on Egypt.)
Paige: I guess our map wasn't big enough?
Piper: Egypt? Phoebe is in Egypt?
Paige: On the bright side, we'll get to see the pyramids.
Prue: Quips later, orbing now.
Paige: You know, this happened a little too easily.
Piper: Yeah. What if it's a trap?
Prue: So what if it is? We're unbreakable, Piper.
Paige: Well, I'm not unbreakable.
Prue: You'll be okay. Here, faster, orb us, faster.
Paige: Alright.
(They orb out.)
[Cut to Egypt. A pyramid. Phoebe is lying on a table. Prue, Piper, and Paige orb in.]
Piper: Oh, Phoebe.
Paige: Wait.
Prue: Where's Jeric?
Phoebe: Prue, Piper, Paige.
Paige: She recognizes us. That's something at least.
(They walk over to Phoebe.)
Prue: Let's just orb her home and we'll fix her there.
(Jeric appears across the room.)
Jeric: I knew you'd come for her.
(Jeric waves his arm towards Prue and Piper and a portal opens up underneath them and sucks them in. Paige starts to orb out and Jeric waves his arm again, sending her to the ground.)
[Cut to the manor. Living room. The portal opens up and Prue and Piper fall through it, Prue landing on the couch and Piper landing on the ground.]
Piper: Ouch!
[Cut to the pyramid. Jeric carries Paige over to the table. Jeric walks over to Phoebe/Isis.]
Jeric: Don't fight it, my love. Your new body awaits. (They kiss. Phoebe/Isis takes one last breath and dies.) "Saqqara tiet ushebti." (Phoebe is mummified. Jeric walks over to Paige. He places the beetle amulet on Paige's chest and stands between Paige and the mummy.) "Khet mastaba hotep ka." (A bright light flows out of the mummy and into Paige. Paige wakes up and Jeric goes to her.) Welcome back, my love.
(They kiss.)
Commercial Break
[Scene: Manor. Conservatory. Piper is there, pacing up and down the room. Prue sits on the couch, being held by Cole.]
Piper: Leo! Leo, come on, we need you!
(Jeric/Leo orbs in wearing an orange prison outfit. Piper gasps and blows him up. Jeric/Leo reconstitutes from orbs.)
Jeric/Leo: What'd you do that for?!
Piper: Leo? Is that you?
(Leo looks down and realizes he's still morphed as Jeric.)
Leo: Oh, (he morphs back into himself) sorry, I, uh, forgot.
(He chuckles.)
Piper: You forgot? What are you doing? And what are you wearing?
Leo: This? They gave it to me in jail when they arrested me. Well, not me, obviously. Jeric, or so they think. I just figured it would help Darryl get a promotion.
Piper: I can't handle this right now.
Leo: What? I told you I was gonna have to break a few rules.
Piper: No, no, no, you don't understand. This is the least of our problems, which oughta give you an idea how bad our problems actually are.
Leo: Come on, it can't be that bad.
Piper: Jeric tricked us into getting Paige possessed and Phoebe mummified.
Leo: What? What are you gonna do?
Prue: Well, you're gonna orb us back there so we can kick some demon ass.
Piper: The one thing I don't understand is why Jeric sent us back here. I mean, he could've sent us to the far reaches of the universe, or worse, but he didn't.
Leo: Jeric sent you back? From where?
Prue: The only thing I can think of is that he needs us for something.
Piper: But what?
Cole: Well, whatever it is, going back there, wherever there is, it'd be exactly what he wants you to do.
Prue: Yeah, okay, but we're not gonna leave our sisters in Egypt with a demonic pervert.
Leo: Well, Jeric must need Paige for a reason. Otherwise why go through the trouble to get her?
Piper: So what are we supposed to do?
Cole: You both are gonna do what you do best. You're gonna go on the offensive.
Leo: Summon Jeric before he summons you two.
(Prue and Piper leave the room.)
[Scene: Egypt. Pyramid. Paige/Isis is lying on the table on her stomach, being massaged by Jeric.]
Paige/Isis: Ohh, right there. That's perfect.
Jeric: Yes, you're rather tense.
Paige/Isis: It's not me, it's this witch. She's overworked this body and she doesn't deserve it.
Jeric: Well, you'll have to finish the Power of Four spell if you expect to take it from her.
Paige/Isis: I will, in a bit.
Jeric: You can't put it off any longer. This witch is as powerful as the last and she'll burn out just as quickly.
Paige/Isis: Just a minute more.
Jeric: Sorry. I think you're relaxed enough.
Paige/Isis: I don't. But then again, I always have been such a bad girl.
Jeric: We can be bad later. Playtime's over, Isis.
Paige/Isis: Fine. What about the other two witches? I doubt they'll read the spell willingly.
Jeric: Leave it to me.
Paige/Isis: It's done. The rhyme's a tad childish, but it should work.
Jeric: Great. All we need now is-
(Suddenly, Jeric disappears in a swirl of lights.)
[Cut to the manor. Attic. Prue and Piper are there waiting. Jeric appears in a swirl of lights.]
Jeric: Well, I guess I should've seen this coming.
Prue: We want our sisters back now.
Jeric: Or what? You've got nothing, witches. If you vanquish me, your mummified sister will stay wrapped up forever.
Prue: Doesn't mean we can't torture you.
.
(Piper uses her power and sparks fly off him.)
Jeric: Okay. If that's the way you want to play it. (He throws energy balls at them and their protective shields, Prue's a red fire shield and Piper's a blue orb shield, splits the energy balls into four, making them hit objects across the room.) Ahh, impressive.
Prue: Wait.
(Prue blows him up and sends him flying across the room.)
Commercial Break
[Scene: Manor. Attic. Prue, Piper, and Jeric are still fighting each other. Cole and Leo rush in.]
Leo: Hey! What are you guys doing?! This is just pointless!
Jeric: The man's got a point. The sooner we stop this, the sooner you can save one of your sisters.
Piper: What do you mean one?
Jeric: I mean that you're gonna have to choose between them, and if you don't, they'll both die.
Piper: You're delusional if you think we're gonna choose between our sisters.
Jeric: Am I? Isis is the only one who knows how to revive Phoebe and she's not gonna do that unless you cast a spell to eject Paige's spirit from her body.
Prue: We won't do that. Paige would die.
Jeric: Fine. Then eject Isis' spirit instead. But, of course, you'd be saving Paige and killing Phoebe, because without Isis, there's no way to revive her.
Leo: What about you? You mummify. Can't you de-mummify?
Jeric: I traps spirits, I don't bring bodies back to life. That's Isis' job. So, of course, as you can see, you two have to make a choice.
Prue: You sick bastard.
Piper: We can't choose and we won't.
Jeric: Then they'll both die.
Cole: Then Isis would die too. You can't want that.
Jeric: Well, that is why I am banking on them choosing to save Phoebe. I mean, according to Isis, the other one is, like, your what, half-sister? You didn't grow up with her or anything. You've only known her for like a year and a half, right? So compared to Phoebe, she's like, a stranger.
Piper: She's still our sister and we will find another way.
Jeric: There is no other way, and if you waste time looking for one, they'll both die.
Prue: How can you be so evil?
Jeric: It's a gift.
Prue: Get out. Get out now.
(He turns into sand.)
Commercial Break
[Scene: Manor. Parlor. Prue and Piper are sitting on the couch, looking at a picture of them, Phoebe, and Paige. Cole and Leo come down the stairs.]
Cole: There's nothing in the book that'll help, or from the Clan.
Leo: Or from the Elders.
(Cole sits down beside Prue and Leo sits down beside Piper.)
Piper: I can't do this.
Leo: You can't let them both die either.
Piper: I know that.
Prue: How can we be so powerful and so helpless at the same time?
Cole: Prue, the one thing you have never been is helpless.
Leo: And Piper, your strength isn't in your invincibility, it's within you. And believe it or not, you are strong enough to do this.
Piper: To do what? Kill one of my sisters?
Leo: Or not. Maybe there's another way. I don't know what it is, but whatever it is the solution is within you, within Prue. Look, I know this isn't fair, but like it or not, this is the way that it is.
Cole: Look, you are going to have to go to Jeric soon if you hope to save even one of your sisters.
(Prue and Piper start to cry.)
Piper: How are supposed to decide?
Leo: Listen to you hearts. What do they tell you?
Prue: Mine is telling me that we have to choose.
[Scene: Egypt. Pyramid. Jeric is at Paige/Isis' side, stroking her hair. Cole smoke-fades in with Prue. Leo orbs in with Piper. Prue and Piper walk over to the tables.)
Jeric: Who are you gonna save?
(Prue and Piper exchange a look.)
Piper: Phoebe.
Prue: You do realize once this is over, we will vanquish you.
Jeric: You do realize when this is over, I will vanquish you. But enough. Isis is running out of time. The spell.
(He holds out a piece of paper.)
Prue: We've got one of our own, thanks.
Jeric: Ahh. Got something up your sleeve, do you?
Piper: I wish. Paige, I know you can hear me, and I know you understand, but we can't lose Phoebe.
Paige/Isis: Just do it.
Prue/Piper: "Two worn souls now burn inside/Where only one can reside/We call upon the Power of Four/To save the body and set Paige free."
(A spirit rises out of Paige's body and vanishes. Paige sits up.)
Jeric: Isis. (He rushes over to her and helps her off the table.) Did it work?
Paige: Yes, it did. And I know just how to celebrate.
(She knees him in the groin and he doubles over in pain. Prue sends Jeric flying across the room. Paige goes over to the mummy.)
Paige: "Dromos wabet khufu nemes akh."
(The mummy wrappings glow and vanish. Phoebe gasps and sits up.)
Jeric: Isis?
Prue: We figured if Isis knew the spell to free Phoebe than Paige would know it as well.
Paige: You really can't mess with sisters.
(Prue blows Jeric up.)
Piper: Well, at least they're together now.
[Scene: Manor. Living room. Phoebe and Paige are there with moisturizing masks on their faces and their hair done up in curlers. Prue and Piper walk in carrying shopping bags. Piper gasps when she sees Phoebe and Paige.]
Paige: What?
Piper: Oh my god. You two could scare the hair off a cat. No demon dare drop by here.
Phoebe: We're just playing hooky.
Prue: Uh-huh. Well, Paige, you can't play hooky, 'cause see, you're unemployed.
Paige: I resent that. I consider my witchly duties to be a full-time job, thank you very much.
Phoebe: We're having a day of beauty. I'm showing Paige how to pamper herself.
Piper: You're beauteous.
Paige: I'm getting quite good at it. I like it. It's free.
Piper: Mm-hmm. Well, I'm glad, it's about time.
Paige: It is, isn't it? I've been so long overdue, I'm so put upon. Really.
Piper: Wow, turn a girl into an Egyptian princess for a day and look what happens. By the way, Lieutenant Morris called to say thank you.
Paige: Oh, he got his promotion. That's so great.
Prue/Phoebe: Yay.
Piper: Yeah, apparently he got credit for the arrest, despite Leo's little jailbreak.
Paige: Whatcha got there?
Piper: Maternity clothes.
Prue: As if you didn't know already.
Paige: You caved.
Piper: Yes, the time has come. We've come to the conclusion that if you've got it, then you must flaunt it.
(They lift the bottom of their tops to show their round stomachs.)
Phoebe: That's my nephew and nieces in those bellies!
Paige: They're mine too.
Phoebe: Hi, babies! (Prue and Piper strike poses.) It's your favourite Aunt Phoebe!
