Third Times The Charm

"Don't tell me,I already know. You spilt marinara sauce on your dress, right? Am I right? Think Piper, think. Doesn't all of this seem awfully familiar to you?"Phoebe asked down the phone and turned quickly when she heard Prue walk in behind her.

"Morning,"Prue said as she sat down at the table.

"Freeze!No, not you, Piper"Phoebe said as Kit climbed onto the kitchen side "Kit knocks over pepper,"she said and Prue was shocked to see it happen a few seconds later.

She was about to say something when Phoebe interupted her "Hold that thought. Okay, Piper, you need to get home as soon as you can, okay, we've got major demon hunting to do. Oh, and if you run into someone named Joanne from high school, the one who's nose broke because of Bella, just tell her where to stick it. I will explain later just hurry."

"Okay, what's going on?"Prue asked when Phoebe put the phone down.

Phoebe didn't answer, she walked toward the livingroom and said "quick, follow me."

Phoebe lead Prue to the window and said "5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Car honks..." the car honks "skids..." it skids "crashes..." CRASH! "Mrs. Henderson's car. Good thing I parked your car in the driveway last night, huh? You can't afford to have it repaired again."

Prue stared at her wide eyes before asking quietly "How did you know that?"

"Because this has all happened once before, Prue, maybe even more than once. The day keeps repeating itself, and every time it happens I think I figure it out just a little faster. It must be my power of premonition. Premonition... I'm supposed to be having a premonition right about now,"Phoebe explained and Prue looked at her confused.

"Supposed to? What do you mean?"

"The paper, look at the front page"she said and Prue glanced up at Phoebe before doing what Phoebe said. When she saw it she sighed and said "Andy."

"Is in trouble, more than you know, Pruie. If I touch that paper, I will have a premonision. The same one that I've had before, where Andy gets killed her by a demon. You have got to believe me, I know it sounds wierd but its true"Phoebe almost begged and Prue nodded.

"No, I believe you. The question is what do we do about it?"

"Well, you've got to go warn Andy and keep him away from our house at all cost. Meanwhile, I've got to dig through the Book Of Shadows, find a way to vanquish this time demon before he can kill Andy."

xXx

"Uh, Joanne, I'm so sorry, but I can't do this segment right now. Um, something's happened, something bad, I have to go"Piper said.

"What? Run out of marinara sauce? Kidding,"Joanne said making Piper turn back towards her.

"Look, I know I don't have the flashy job or the flashy ring or the flashy designer suit but that doesn't make me less than you or anybody else. And just because I may not have realized my dreams yet like you think you have, doesn't mean I won't find a way to do exactly that, and when I do, you can be damn sure I'll be doing it with my own nose and not the one some discound doctor game me,"she said before storming off dragging a smirking Bella with her.

"Go Piper!"she said and the two girls couldn't help but laugh.

xXx

"A time loop? You mean demons can actually do that sort of thing?"Andy asked as he and Prue stood in the middle of the park.
"None that I've ever seen before but if it is a demon, it's the most powerful one we've ever come up against,"Prue told him.
"He's going through all this just to kill me. No way, Prue. If he's as powerful as you say, then he's gotta be after you,"he protested and she sighed sadly.

"Andy, please just let us handle this. Whatever you do you have to promise me that you'll stay away from the manor,"she begged but Andy shook his head.

"I can't promise you that, Prue. If you're right and Rodriguez is the demon then it's a trap."

"Yeah, then I'll have Piper, Bella and Phoebe there to back me up, all right, the power of four."

"What if that's what he wants, all three of you together? What if that's the reason he set the time loop?"Andy asked frantically.

"We'll just have to take our chances."

"You could get killed, Prue!"

"I mean it! This is not your fight! Don't make me use my magic on you! Andy, I would die if anything happened to you!"she said firmly before softening slightly and saying more quieter "I love you."

Andy smiled widely before saying "I love you too, Prue."

xXx

Andy sat in his car watching the manor intently, he ducked when he saw Rodriguez but still peered up to watch. When Rodriguez walked passed the hissing Kit, he turned quickly and Andy saw that his eyes was bright red.

Andy jumped and grabbed his gun before saying "Oh my God, Prue!"

xXx

"The devil's sorcerer, Tempus. He can manipulate time anyway he chooses,"Phoebe said reading the book out to her sisters as they stood in the hall way.

"Does it say how to vanquish him?"Bella asked making Phoebe look back down at the page.

"Uh, take him out of the time that he's in. What ever that means,"she said but before anyone could say anything else the door slammed open and Rodriguez threw lightning at Prue. Before it could hit her however Bella pushed her out of the way and they both ended up on the floor.

"No!"they heard Andy yell as he ran into the house and started shooting. Rodriguez didn't even feel it as he turned around and threw electricity at him, sending him into a glass cabinet.

"Andy!"Phoebe yelled as Rodriguez turned back to them. Piper froze him before he could do anything and both she and Phoebe ran to the uncontious Prue while Bella got up and ran to Andy.

"Is Prue okay?"Phoebe asked.
"Yeah but she's out cold, Bells?"Piper called out.

Bella was sitting next to Andy with tears running down her face, she sighed before calling back "he's dead."

xXx

"The only reason you're still alive is because I haven't figured out how to kill you yet,"Phoebe said glaring at Rodriguez who they had tied to a chair.

"Go ahead! Kill me witch! I don't care!"he snarled back.

"Don't tempt me!"Bella growled back from her place at the bottom of the stairs.

"We're in a time loop, aren't we? All we have to do is start this day over and Andy lives. And I'm willing to bet that his death somehow triggers the time loop?"Phoebe said reassuringly.

"I'm impressed, I was told you wouldn't know that"he said.

"Really? By who? Tempus? Yeah, we know about him too and we also know you're not him otherwise you would've restarted the day by now. So, where do we find him?"

"In your nightmares. Kill me, I dare you"he taunted and Piper pulled Phoebe towards where Bella was sat.

"Why is he so willing to let us kill him?"Piper asked confused.

"Who cares. If he dies, Andy lives. End of story,"Bella said glaring at Rodriguez who was smirking back. She almost jumped up to kill him when he sent her a wink but clenched her teeth and looked back at her sisters.

"What if that's exactly his plan? To reset the day and he can kill us all next,"Piper said.

"It doesn't matter. The day's gonna reset itself anyway, there's not a damn thing to do about-"Rodriguez started but was cut off by Phoebe.

"Shut up. Come on, we have to wake Prue."

xXx

"Prue. Prue. Come to me, Prue"she heard Andy's voice say and suddenly she was sitting on a seat swing with Andy next to her and they were surrounded by fog.

"Andy? What's going on? Where are we?"she asked.

"I'm not quite sure really. I hoped I'd end up here, but not so soon. One thing I do know though is that I'm staying, you're not"he said and she shook her head in confusion.

"I don't understand,"she admitted.

"I broke my promise, Prue. I came to your house tonight. Turns out Phoebe's premonition was one you couldn't stop after all, weren't supposed to stop."

"Wait a minute, Andy, no."

"It's okay, Prue, really, trust me. This is my destiny, I know that now. Yours is to continue on. Everything happens for a reason, remember you taught me that."

"This isn't fair,"Prue said trying to hold back tears.

"You need to go back, you need to keep the time loop from being reset again or you and your sisters will be killed. And I will have died in vein."

"I'll kill Rodriguez for this!"

"No, you won't. You're not a murderer, Prue, you're a good person who does good things."

"I don't wanna lose you."

"Don't worry, you won't"Andy said just before kissing her softly "I'll always be there for you, Prue"he said and then he was gone.

Prue sat by her self on the swing seat and jumped when she heard a familiar voice calling out to her.

"Prue, come on, honey. Prue. Prue,"she heard Bella say and she he was suddenly back in the manor being helped up by Bella.

"Where is Andy?"Prue asked as soon as she was on her feet and her sisters turned silent.

"Prue, something terrible has happened"Phoebe said and Prue's eyes widened when she saw a body in the livingroom covered with a blanket.

"Oh my God!"she gasped out holding back more tears.

"It all happened so fast, Prue. He ran in the door when Rodriguez attacked, he was trying to save us"Piper explained.

Prue nodded slightly before saying "And he'll succeed. Where's the Book of Shadows?"

"It's right here. Why?"Bella said as Prue walked towards the book.

"Where's the spell that you saw to accelerate time?"Prue asked.

"What are you doing?"Rodriguez asked confused.

"There,"Bella muttered pointing it out and Prue smiled in thanks but it didn't reach her eyes.

"What's going on?"Rodriguez asked his eyes widening slightly.

"But we don't want to accelerate time, we want to reverse it"Piper said.

"No, we don't, trust me. The only chance that we have to get rid of Tempus is to do this by breaking the time loop, okay."

"But if we break the time loop we won't be able to save Andy,"Phoebe pointed out and Prue sighed sadly.

"I know,"she whispered.

"Prue, are you sure about this?"Bella asked quietly.

"No, I'm not"she said before reading the spell out loud "Winds of time gather 'round, Give me wings to speed my way, rush me on my journey forward, let tomorrow be today."

It was silent, everyone not knowing what to say while Prue glared darkly at Rodriguez.

"Prue-"Piper started but Prue cut her off.

"You know what, just untie him, get him outta here!"she snapped and her sisters stared at her.

"What?"Phoebe asked.

"He'll kill us,"Bella protested but Prue shook her head.
"No, he won't. He doesn't have the power to kill us, otherwise he wouldn't have needed Tempus,"she stated but her sisters made no move to untie the demon.

"I will not untie him, Prue!"Phoebe said but Prue just shrugged, used her power and the robes fell off him.

"Get outta here before I change my mind!"she snarled and he smirked.

"You stupid witch,"he said before walking for the door, he stops suddenly and turns back to the sister, his eyes bright red again. He throws electricity towards them but Prue sends it back, it hits him and he explodes before vanishing.

"We may not be murderers but we're no angels either,"Prue said before walking over to Andy's body, tears falling down her face.

xXx

"That weather lady needs to get another line, she's said that line one thousand times already...but that might just be because of the time loop,"Phoebe said as she, Piper and Bella sit in the kitchen.

"Maybe she should hire Joanne Hertz, boost the ratings"Piper suggested and Bella grimaced at the mention of Joanne.

"Speaking of the she-devil herself, did you ever call to reschedule your segment?"Bella asked.

"No, I'm not going to"Piper said before drinking the rest of her coffee.

"Why?"Phoebe asked.
"I've decided to quit my job,"Piper admitted sounding very relieved.

"What?"

"And actually, I owe it all to Joanne. She made me realize that somehow I had forgotten what my dreams were, still are. I always wanted to be a chef and have my own restaurant not manage one. It's a good job and the pay's okay but it's not my dream job,"Piper said and Bella smiled at her sister.

"Good for you,"she said.

"Thanks, speeking of jobs"Piper said looking intently at Bella before asking "have you fingured out what you want to do yet?"

Bella was silent for a while before smiling and saying "I want to own my own bookstore."

Piper and Phoebe smiled widely. "Why am I not surprised?"Phoebe asked sarcastically.

"Maybe it's because she reads far too much,"Piper said teasingly.

"Or the fact that she complains about how the bookshop closest to hear hasn't got a wider option of books,"Phoebe said playing a long.

"Who knows,"Piper said and Bella rolled her eyes at her sisters.

"Okay, lets go and see Prue before I end up stangling you two"she joked before they all walked towards the door.

xXx

"Prue, are you all right?"Piper asked as they sat down next to her on the front steps of the manor.

"Actually, I am. Andy's been exonerated, they are now looking for Rodriguez"Prue said smiling sadly.

"Good luck,"Bella said.
"Hey, are you sure you're all right?"Phoebe asked.

"Yeah. I was just thinking all that we've been through since we became witches,"Prue admitted and Bella smirked.

"Give you a headache?"she asked.

"No actually, it gave me a good feeling. I mean, look, it's a hassle and can sometimes screw up our personal lives."

"Amen to that!"Phoebe said laughing.

"And we do good things together. Helps offset the bad things."
"I'm gonna really miss Andy,"Bella said sadly and Prue sqeezed her hand reasuringly.

"Something tells me that he'll always be with us. We better get ready for work,"she said while Phoebe and Bella smirked at Piper.

"I'll tell her later,"Piper said before they got up and walked back into the house.

"Tell me what?"Prue called back into them.

"Nothing, it's not important!"was her reply.

Prue sighed and looked around sadly as the wind picked up. "Goodbye Andy,"she whispered before heading back inside.
