Piper on the actual television show charmed
-Paige-
We are all in the kitchen,Prue is staring out the window completely lost in thought I two youngest are pretty exited as they are gathering stuff to place the curse back on Matthew,I'm just listening basically.
"The curse is simple as long as you have all the ingredients I need" I snort,we would not have a lot of things probably,she was living in 1692,it is now 1994 and I really don't think we would have it.
"Phoebe can do the spices,I'll do the scallions" Piper claims and Phoebe nods."This is so cool,we've never done a curse before" Phoebe says enthusiastically.
"Oh I'm glad, they're not to be taken lightly" Melinda says with half a frown and Phoebe looks at me and I just give her a smile and she winks at me with a cheeky smile.
"just feel like there's so much we could be learning or doing if we had the right teacher" She says to Melinda putting her hand against her boney hip.
"I'd savor my first gift before I move onto thger next one" Melinda says and Phoebe looks a tad annoyed but not at Melinda.
"I see pictures,what's to savor?" She asks in a preacher tone.
"No, but you see visions of the future and the past. That'll allow you to protect and to heal." Melinda trys to change Phoebes feelings for her power,"hmm,you hear that Prue?" Phoebe calls out the witch staring out the window.
"Prue, stop looking for Andy, he should be long gone by now" I assure my younger sister looking at her "yeah,he'll probably come back with a warrant" she mutters and I see Piper roll her eyes "oh as if he'd ever arrest you Prue,he's your boy friend!" Prue then sighs at Pipers comment and walks over to us.
"So do we have everything?" She asks finally including herself in our wiccan issues."Actually there's a few herbs we don't have but I can get them at the restaurant" Piper says looking at Melinda mostly.
"The only problem is the feather from the spotted owl" I say in a doubtful voice."Is that a problem?" Melinda says quizzically and my sisters and I all look at each other worridely.
Then I see the looks from my younger sisters eyes that they're forcing me as the oldest sister to break the news to Melinda that humans are now crappy people who are self centered and have allowed animals to die off as we eat them and skewer them aimlessly :).I sigh "well, they're an endangered species. Um, certain animals from your time aren't really around anymore" I tred thin ice from how they're actually dying off,hoping she leaves my summing up at that.
"Why?" Asks with a hurtful expression mostly in her blue eyes,"Deforestation, pollution... it's a long story" Phoebe answers with a slight movement of her head.
"Do you think they have one at the zoo?" Piper asks me,"what's a zoo?" Melinda asks in a puzzlement.
" In theory it's this big garden kind of place where all the animals are caged and..." Before Phoebe can break Melinda's heart more as we can all see is happening in her very shocked and dumbfounded face Prue cuts Phoebe off with a fake smile.
"You know what? I'll work on the feather. Piper, can you handle the herbs?" Prue asks her, "Uh, yeah, after I get to Quake, though I might have a problem getting out because I'm supposed to work the night shift" Piper says with a worried frown that dips the left side of lip.
"Well, I'll come with you and bring back the stuff if you get hung up" Phoebe offers and Piper smiles gratefully at the youngest.
"No, you can't leave the house. You are the two Matthew needs." Melinda says and I feel worried too as Prue,Melinda and I all share the same concerened expression for the youngest.
"we'll be fine. How could Matthew even know about Quake?" Piper says with a slight chuckle and I nod."Alright fine, Melinda I'll stay here with you in case Matthew comes or you need help with anything".

Matthew and Hannah sit in the jeep across the road from Quake waiting to spot Piper and then Matthew can attack and have three of the four powers Melinda took back from him.
"I've waited over three hundred years for my revenge. As soon as Piper gets here I shall have it".
-Piper-
Phoebe and I walk into quake and I grab her shoulders "You go ahead into the kitchen, I'm gonna cough on Martin and tell him I'm highly contagious so can I go home" I grin thinking about my bitchy new boss Martin who is filling in for chef Moore and Martin,well he is a jerk.
"Love the plan" Phoebe and I giggle and I give her a playful shove to the direction of the kitchen.
I watch her as she walks away and then a waitress named Beth walks up to has big grey eyes and auburn hair,"hey Piper,did you're sweetie find you?" She smirks but I'm confused as to what she's smirking about,my sweetie?.
"My what?" I ask her with my eye brows raised, "That guy with the English accent. He called earlier to see if you were working today" she smirks again and then the eppifany hits me, Matthew,oh no Phoebe!.
-Phoebe-
As I walk in the kitchen no one is in there and I'm a little surprised,"Phoebe? I thought Piper worked here,oh well" I feel a burst of panic as Matthew faces me and I step backwards."Come on witch,freeze me!" He says evilly and as I try to hit him he squints his eyes and I'm thrown backwards into a rack of buns where my face hits the Sharpe edge of the edge and I cry out at the pain and I black out just as hands force me to my feet.
I glare at him and grab a dough roller and hold it in front of me walks towards forcing me to walk backwards and I'm backing into a corner and I try to hit him with the rolling pin but he grabs it and chucks it to the floor and he grabs my arm and suddenly I gasp as I'm pulled into a vision.
My sisters,Melinda and I say the curse and Matthew yells as he is sucked back into the locket.
I open my eyes and Matthew grins "and now I have you're power,he was right,you were the weakist and easiest to get powers off" he gives me a hard shove and I fall to the floor just as he ? Who's he?.
The kitchen doors open and a worried looking Piper see's me on the floor and she crouches down next to me and pulls me up against her chest.
"Are you okay?" She asks stroking my hair and I blink "ah sort of,I knocked out and now Matthew has my powers, he came in and copied them,I'm sorry" she leans her chin on the top of my head.
Andy sits across the street in front of the Manor in his car,not feeling as though Prue told him everything.
Prue,Paige and Melinda walk down the stairs "alright I found a spotted owl at the museum I used to work at stuff" Prue tells them and Paige and Melinda nod."But we only need one feather" Melinda says and Prue smiles "great, Maybe that'll keep it down to a misdemeanour. Look, I'll be back as soon as I can" Prue grins, Paige frowns "okay Prue but be careful okay sweetie" she hugs Prue and Prue half rolls her eyes "Paige,Matthew already has my powers,I doubt he'll attack me again" she assures her older sister "yeah I know,it doesn't hurt to be aware" Paige tells the younger haliwell.
"Bye Prue" Melinda smiles.
Prue gets in her car and drives down the street not aware of Andy following close behind.
Piper and Phoebe are sitting at the bar why Phoebes on the phone trying to talk to Paige or Prue.
The home phone at the haliwell Manor rings and Paige is outside hanging out the washing and cannot hear the phone because she is lost in thought.
Melinda however has no idea whats happening as it rings.
"Come on answer!" Phoebe says impatiently into the phone.
"Hi we're not here right now, you know the drill" Paiges voicemail says on both ends of the phone."Prue,Paige,pick up" Phoebe orders as the skin between her brown eye brows crease in stressed frustration.
"Phoebe?" Melinda says looking intently at the phone machine,"are you guys there?" Phoebe asks,worry seeping into her young voice.
"Phoebe,I-I'm here" Melinda says so confused and baffled as to how Phoebe can not hear her our how the hell the talking thing is used.
"You guys need to be really careful" she tells Melinda without knowing,"Phoebe!" Melinda yells not too loudly,now desperate to see what's happening.
"Matthew was here,he could be on his way" Melinda cautiously presses a button and the machine turns off.
Phoebe looks at Piper with fear in her eyes "the line went dead" she tells her older sister and Pipers eyes widen and she grabs Phoebes hand and threads her fingers through Phoebes and the sisters run out of Quake.
Paige teleports back into the manor when she hears Melinda's cry out for Phoebe."Arg! Paige,I didn't know you had another power,how do you?" Melinda asks,"I'll explain later,why were you yelling?" Paige asks firmly.
"Phoebe was talking through that thing" Melinda explains pointing to the phone "what?what did she say Melinda?" Paige asks grabbing Melinda's pale hands "she said that-" there is suddenly a loud bang at the front door and Melinda and Paige lock eyes and they run quickly into the foyer.
Matthew stands there with a look of pure hatered on his face.
"Matthew" Melinda says standing in front of Paige,the last thing she would want is her 21st century grandaughter getting doesn't interrupt "so we meet again" Matthew replies.
"Yes. And the sight of you still makes me ill" she snaps at her arch enemy, the reason she was brought here.
He chuckles "Funny. The fact that I can now destroy your line forever, makes you so much more appealing".
She raises a blond eye brow "you think I won't stop you?" She asks with an acid spitting from her words.
"How? You made you're curse before and you still burned?" He retorts at the woman he too hated."And yet I'm still here,aren't I?" Melinda quips crossing her glances at Paige,"You're nothing more then a dead witch watching over stupid girls who are about to die themselves" he snaps.
Paige scoffs in the background "I'm not stupid" she mumbles quietly looking at Matthew."You won't touch them!" Melinda barks,"oh I wouldn't be so sure Melinda" he smirks and throws a hand out and Paige's concussive blast power spurts out from Matthew's palm and it fires straight towards Paige "awh crap" she says and before she can teleport away with Melinda in a bubbly blue the bubbly blue concussive blast hits Paige and the concussive power within it hits Paige and instantly knocks Paige out even before she slides across the floor and lands against the couch.
"Paige!" Melinda gasps,"oh and I see you're powers have changed,the blasts used to be red" he comments and Melinda remembers too.
"I already have three of their powers. I just need the third. I believe her name is Piper. Unless" he then pins her up against the wall with a strong grip."you wanna freeze me" he finishes his sentence menacingly.
"Go to hell where you belong!" Melinda snaps at the Warlock,Matthew then suddenly has a Premonition of the Witches adding the spotted owl feather to the curse.
He opens his eyes "So that's why they brought you back, isn't it? You think you can curse me again. Hell, I might just kill you now" he threatens her.
"Go ahead. I've already given them the curse" she hisses back as his body pushes more against her and it pushes her more to the wall.
"You're lying!" He claims loudly.
"Am I?" She smirks.
"The one with the feather. Where is she now? Where's Prue? Tell me!" He demands throwing his hand around her throat. She loses her breath "she's at.." She starts struggling to talk with Matthews hand cutting the process to talk for Melinda."Yes" he encourages her with a tilt of his head.
"The..." She choke/gasps.
"Zoo?" He finishes off for her but Melinda doesn't reply,she mentally grins,Prue is at the muesem.
"Then that's where I'll kill her. And then I'll come back for the other three. That way you can watch them die and I can watch you suffer" he looks at a rousing Paige and roughly smashes his lips against Melinda's and Melinda scrunches her face up at his dry and cold lips."Then I'm killing you" he then blinks out of the room and Melinda runs to Paige.
