Death already knew who Paige wanted to trade, standing in front of the pair as the blinding light faded was a blue eyed brunette dressed in jeans and a leather jacket. Paige gasped and unable to control herself threw herself at her eldest sister. Prue, held her tightly, rocking her gently. 'I missed you' she said gently to Paige. Knowing that the sister she had never known had been watching over her ,Paige crumbled, sobbing because she would never see her sisters again, because her nephews wouldn't remember her and because she would still never know Prue. Gripping Paige tightly, feeling a familiar protectiveness towards her sister, Prue felt a strong gravity pulling her downwards, a white light, and then Paige was gone, she was home.
Paige, tears still pouring down her face, turned to walk and follow Death into the afterlife when a familiar jingling rang in her ears. Confused, Paige watched as a face orbed into view, it was Sandra, a female elder who had always shown Paige a great deal of kindness. Paige smiled weakly at her old friend, before she could even ask the reason that she was here, Sandra anticipated the question and began to explain. 'It was not your destiny to die Paige; however, you were right in thinking that you were not powerful enough to defeat Zankou. The elders are unsure of your future but as we cannot be certain whether four charmed ones can even exist together; we have agreed to offer you full whitelighter status. You are not to contact your sisters and their memories will be altered, they will believe after Prue's death they were battling demons with the help of Leo, they will not remember meeting you, or even your existence. If your siblings remember you of their own accord the elders will be sure that it is your destiny to be with them…' Sandra looked at Paige, a grin on her face as she nodded wildly, they would remember her, she knew it!
Prue cursed herself for being so anxious, these were no strangers, they were her baby sisters. She had no idea why the elders had allowed her to come home but they were family, her anxiety was quickly overwhelmed by a sickening excitement and as she crept into Phoebe's room, lying asleep peacefully Prue struggled to control the emotion that was threatening to overwhelm her completely. Tip-toeing forward and settling herself next to her angelic looking little sister Prue whispered softly. 'Pheebs…' Slowly opening her eyes Phoebe threw herself backwards off the bed in shock. 'Wha….Whaaaaa?' Was all she could manage to stutter out but as she truly recognised Prue's big blue eyes she launched herself into her arms. Laughing hysterically and forgetting to ask what was going on the sisters jumped up and down on the bed like children. 'Phoebe….' Piper knocked hesitantly, 'Phoebe….what have I told you about guys at this time? It's keeping me up!' Looking at one another Prue and Phoebe collapsed into another fit of giggles, 'You haven't changed then!' Prue smirked as Phoebe playfully punched her arm. 'Piper, you might want to come in here…' 'Are you crazy' Piper butted in but she was interrupted as Prue swung the door wide open and flew at her. Not having had a proper look at Prue's face, Piper looked at Phoebe confused. Phoebe encouraged her to take a step back; one glance was all it took. 'Prrruuueeee!' she yelped jumping up onto her sister, 'how?' 'I have no idea', Prue answered but I reckon it has something to do with Zankou.' The last statement brought a temporary sombre tone, but the girls were too excited to focus on demons, the charmed ones, they were back!
