Phoebe rolled her eyes upon entering the kitchen as her eyes set on Prue. Prue was always the first one up. Phoebe sat down next to Prue, who began to stand to pour herself more coffee. Phoebe quickly pushed her down and took the cup.

"No, no no," said Phoebe, "I'll take care of this. You just — read the paper." she walked over, and poured more coffee, then handed the cup back to Prue.

"Alright," Prue said, "You have been nice to me ever since Kevin died. Stop it. I'm fine. And you can tell Piper that too. I swear I'm fine, now stop being so nice. I'll be at 411. Just act normal." Prue swept up her jacket and left.

"Well they say people bounce back but — Cole!" Phoebe ran to Cole, who had just shimmered in. He was covered in many cuts and burns and his breathing was heavy.

"I was just in the Underworld. I —,"

"What were you doing down there? You know what? I don't even want to know. Go upstairs and I'll be there to help you. Go!" Cole backed out of the room, his hands up. Phoebe dumped Prue's cup and followed Cole.

-P-P-P-

Prue's camera shutter clicked as she pressed the button on her camera. Turning it this way and that, she continued to photograph Jesse McCartney. He was laying on a bed in shorts, shirtless smiling at the camera. Lights flashed as each picture was taken, different clothes were put on, and the scenery was changed. Finally, she finished.

"Thanks Ms. Halliwell," said Jesse, walking up to his photographer.

"Call me Prue."

"Prue. Well, you do wonderful work."

"Thank you. I —," Jesse leaned in and kissed Prue softly on the cheek.

"You can take my picture anytime," and with that, Jesse turned and left. Prue smiled to herself as she packed up her stuff and walked out the door. She spotted a demon running toward Jesse. Prue waved her hand. The demon was thrown against the fence as Jesse spotted the creature. He ran back as it shimmered behind him, grabbed Jesse by the neck, and shimmered away.

"No!" Prue yelled, running toward the spot where they just were. Tears spilling from her eyes, she ran to her car, jumped in, and drove away.

-P-P-P-

"Prue, you can't save every innocent," said Piper after Prue told her story.

"But Jesse's not gone yet. I can still save him. What's your problem?" Prue asked Phoebe, who was sulking.

"It's not fair," Phoebe replied, "You get to meet famous, rich, hot people...and I don't."

"Don't be a child, Phoebe."

"You're not boss!"

"Oh, I so am!" Phoebe stuck her tongue at Prue.

"But," Prue said, "Why would the demon go through all the trouble to just take the innocent and run away? No. He wants me to follow him."

"That's what scares me, Prue." Hearing a ding, Piper stood up and pulled a loaf of bread from the oven and gently laid it on the table, before talking again. "I'm afraid that if you follow him, he'll kill you."

"Wait, Prue," Phoebe asked, "Why didn't you just use your power?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well you said you ran to the spot where the demon shimmered out and — Prue, why are you laughing?"

"Shimmered, demon? Phoebe, I don't think you should drink anymore coffee. It's going to your head."

"What?" Piper picked up her bread, and tripped. The bread went through the air and landed on the floor.

"DAMN IT!" Piper yelled, standing up, "That's the third one I've had to make today. First Leo comes in and eats it all, then you make so much noise it flattens, then, I drop it! Good God!"

"Piper," said Phoebe, bending to pick up the mess, "Why didn't you just freeze it?"

"Phoebe, freezing bread will just make it cold. It won't stop it from flattening."

"You know what I meant. Use your power. Freeze it. Freeze time!" Prue stood up and placed her hand on Phoebe's forehead.

"Honey," she cooed lightly, "Are you feeling okay?"

"Nope. I think she might have hit her head. But, I'd love to freeze time. Sure would save it."

"But Piper," Phoebe said wrenching from Prue's grasp. "You can freeze time. Prue can move things with her mind and create two of her. I can see into the future and levitate. You can also make things explode. You've learned how to control it a little. Go ahead. Open your hands." Piper did as she was told. Nothing. Phoebe, her mouth open, went on.

"Fine, I can levitate," she said. She stood still, then looked down. "Why aren't I levitating?"

"Honey, I think the heat is getting to you."

"It is a little hot. But we've vanquished demons. Follow me." She ran to the attic, hope in her heart this would make them remember. She felt a chill as she ran into the attic. The Book of Shadows stood on the stand as it always has.

-P-P-P-

"Okay," Prue said upon entering, "Let's see if we can find that demon." She flipped through the pages.

"Wait, you remember?" Phoebe asked, "You remember that we're witches? And that there are demons?"

"Yeah," Prue said slowly, "We've only been doing this for, oh, I don't know, three years."

"But you just....never mind." A few minutes passed in the quiet attic, the only sound being the pages of the Book of Shadows flipping.

"Aha!" Prue said, turning to the page. "Torp. Wow. Nice name. He has the power of shimmering, fireballs, and the power of memory control. Let's go. There's a summoning potion in here. The ingredients should be in the kitchen. The three girls stood up and walked through the door.

"Wait..." said Prue, "What're we doing here? I got a date..."

"Date? With who?" Phoebe asked, who had clearly forgot like her sisters had.

"Jesse McCartney."

"No! He's too young for you!"

"No he's not. I'm 23. He's 22. Not too young. Besides, he asked me." The girls walked down the stairs into the kitchen and sat down at the table. Leo walked into the kitchen and kissed his wife.

"Hi." said Piper. Leo sat at the table, as Prue stood up, grabbed her jacket and left the house. Phoebe, now in her room began to kiss Cole, who arrived a few minutes after Leo.

-P-P-P-

"I'm glad to be here with you, Prue," Jesse said as he poured champagne into a glass. The two were sitting on a rooftop restaurant overlooking the city. Jesse looked behind him as the door opened. "I'll be right back. Men's room." He stood and went into the bathroom. Prue smiled. She hadn't felt this way since Kevin was alive.

Jesse looked into the mirror, as he shapeshifted into Torp, then back into the form of Jesse. He smiled to himself and left.

-P-P-P-

Kevin stood, looking at Prue from another building. He smiled to himself as he held up a red sphere, the Source's power, and dropped it from the building. It shattered against the ground and turned into water.

"Oh Prue," he said, "If only you knew you were on a date...with the Source."
