Paige was smirking at the article.
"Suspicious Terrorists Manny Hanks and Julie Bennett Found Dead in Auto Accident" The headline reads.
Since Paige was the one with active powers, she and Rowena cast a doubles spell of "Manny" and "Julie." They had their friend Charlie hack a rented smart car to drive Prue's and Phoebe's astral selves. They made absolutely sure to let the police know they were speeding.
Neither wanted to break the law or hurt innocents, so they drove down a rarely well traveled road. All three sisters were on the edge of their seats watching the show, since they were getting chased by police including a helicopter. Prue asked Charlie to speed up. Both Prue and Phoebe yanked their astral selves out of there a minute before the crash. Once that happened, Charlie crashed into a phone pole at 130 miles an hour. She then ruptured the gas tank, making sure the car exploded.
"Rest in peace Manny." Prue said. Strange. She would have thought she would be sad about Manny's death, but she couldn't care less.
Phoebe was crying. Prue snapped at her tears.
"Why are you being a big crybaby? Bitch is dead! Party!" Both Phoebe and Paige were shocked. Rowena was laughing. Charlie looked confused.
"Hey! I died! Give me a break. I feel like I lost my cousin. I was Julie for months." Phoebe says in a hurt voice.
"The hell is wrong with you Prue? Why are you so cold? You were attached to Manny as well. Can't say I'll won't miss him." Paige says. Prue was getting meaner. She was always a little standoffish, but lately, she's been getting colder and more mean. She reminded Paige of that movie with the snobby girls, but worse.
"Those cousins of yours are dead. RIP. How are you going to explain about that government agent of yours?" Rowena says in her Scottish accent.
"I can help hack, but it is way too hot right now. I have to protect my facility." Charlie said. She looked at the clock and said her goodbyes, she and Claire were going to the city since they both had a day off. Claire was outside honking her car horn.
"We'll figure it out. Too bad Piper is still MIA. She must have lost her powers too, that is why she is impossible to track down." Phoebe tried, but without her powers it was near impossible.
"You guys have to take your sister's advice. Don't rely on magic too much. Use your brains." Charlie advised.
"She right. She called herself a nerd. Use the technology you have today. Unlike things in my day, it is easy to track down a person."
"Rowena, Charlie, you are geniuses! Social media, webcams, police reports, hospital reports. Let's not hope morgue. Piper will be found."
Paige and Prue lit up. It was something they never tried. They asked Charlie for pointers.
Jaime was staring at the earrings. They were beautiful, but she never tried or wore them once. She thanked Dan and kissed him. But the spark was no longer there. She thought about her dream. She was taking souls, then when she saw her last assignment, she did nothing to stop the two men from killing one another. If it wasn't for the blond man, she would been reaping their souls. That tall man. Her heart started beating over him. He was the One. Her true love.
"Sam." A tear rolled down her face.
"Sam? Who's Sam?" Dan says in a teasing voice. He kisses Jaime on the cheek. "Don't you mean Dan?"
Jaime smiles shakily. She wasn't sure if "Sam'' existed. She liked Dan she really did. On paper he was perfect. Good looking, smart, handy, super nice, a great dad, owned his own home and business, and worshiped the ground she wheeled on. But as much as she tried, she didn't love him.
"Just a stupid dream. So what's up?"
"How come you are not wearing those earrings?" Dan asked in a hurt voice, looking at her ears.
"Um." Shit. She had to make a believable excuse. "I'm sure they were expensive. I am saving them for a special occasion." Hope he bought that.
"Special occasion huh." He teased. "How bout a special dinner. At Chez Gordon. Jenny is at her friend's, we'll have the whole place to ourselves. I want to ask you a question."
Oh oh. Jaime was dreading this day. They were discussing where their relationship was going. Jaime kept shutting Dan when he brought up the sex talk. She knew he wanted to take things intimately with her. He was getting impatient. Jaime kept making up excuses. She had to throw cold water on him. Luckily they were interrupted.
"Dad? You have a phone call. It's the police."
"Thanks Jenny. Jaime, I'll be right back."
Jaime breathes a sigh of relief. She had to break up. This relationship is over.
"I'll get it!" Paige volunteered. "Hold your horses. Sheesh." She complains answering the door. The doorbell kept ringing.
"Is there a Paige Matthews here?" A bored looking mail courier says holding a large box.
"That would be me."
"Sign here."
Once Paige signs it, she carries the box inside. Phoebe and Prue walk by, curious to see who was at door.
Phoebe's eyes lit up seeing the box.
"Ooohhh. What's in the box Paige?"
"I don't know. For a big box it sure is light."
"Is that from Charles?" Prue asks thinking about Paige's new beau.
"Probably not. Charles always sends a private courier. This was sent by regular post." As she opened it, she was disappointed to see a dusty old lamp.
Both Phoebe and Prue looked confused.
"That's it?" Phoebe looks at it. "Looks old."
"Let me see that." Prue orders. Paige didn't protest as Prue yanked it out of her hands.
"Easy there Prue. There is enough for all of us." Paige says jokingly.
Prue looked it over, being careful not to rub it too hard. My goodness. This was OLD.
"Paige. Who sent this?"
"No return address. Why?'
"This vase is ancient. At least biblical. I have to take it to an expert, but this vase is probably worth a huge fortune. Are you sure Charles didn't send it?'
Paige shook her head.
"I don't think so. Like I said, Charles would send a courier. I doubt he'll send something so valuable through regular mail."
"Looks so good, but so dusty." As Phoebe was about to rub, Rowena walks in and tells her to stop. Too late, a puff of smoke comes out.
"Wait!" Rowena yells. Dammit.
Jaime looks over the newspaper articles about the missing kids and murders. Another couple, more senseless deaths. Two more kidnappings. She knew the police was on it, but no way was she going to sit this one out, wheelchair be damned. She got herself dressed and called for a taxi. She was heading to the library.
Two hours later, her eyes were bleary looking at the old articles. She was using the library's WiFi to check out any old online articles for any connections to the past. So other than the murders, and the kidnappings, the children were never seen since. Except after they were grown. Witnesses say those former children after growing up, killed their kidnappers and cut off their heads, however when police checked, no bodies or evidence was found. That was unusual. But that isn't what caught Jaime's eyes. There was drawings of a mask.
A skull mask? Those kidnappers weren't very creative. But every few years, those kidnappings got more odd. No footprints, no DNA, no defense wounds. It was like every generation was getting smarter. Jaime felt a spark in her body. She picked up her phone and called her friend. She will help.
"Jenna! Apell téléphonique d'Amérique!" The assistant whispers.
"Merci, Pauline." Jenna says in a quiet voice. She quietly excuses herself, luckily her scene with Lucus wasn't on at the moment.
"Bonjour."
"Um, hi." Jaime was confused. Why is she calling France? She spoke some French, but wasn't very fluent in it. "Do you speak English?"
"Oui. I mean yes. May I ask who's calling?"
"I have a case."
"C'mon. Three wishes. Anything you desire. Except world peace. Even I don't have that much power." The genie hoped this worked. He saw what was going to happen. He just wanted to be freed.
Rowena stares at the genie in distrust. She dated a Trickster once, he said genies were liars.
"Don't trust genies. They are Tricksters in nature." She warned.
The genie was looking around the room surrounded by witches, when he noticed Rowena.
"Well hello there." He straightens his hair and clothes to the sister's amusement. "I don't think we met. My name's..."
"Nope. Nice try. Which sent you?" Phoebe demanded.
"No kidding. A genie just mysteriously gets mailed to us. Bull. What's your end game." Paige asks with narrow eyes.
Prue didn't say anything, just stared at the genie in distrust. The genie rolls his eyes.
"So many questions. Can I have one master that doesn't get suspicious? Sheesh." He kisses Rowena's hand. "If you excuse me, maybe sometime we can get to know one another better. For now, I have a job." He turns around. "Three wishes. One for each of you. Until you make those wishes, I'm staying. Do you have a computer? I have to update my Palz status."
"A genie that has a social media account?" Paige scratches her head.
Rowena looked amused.
"Looks like you have your hands full. If you excuse me, I must go. I have plans. Oh, before I go, remember my warning. If something is too good to be true, it probably is. Remember the Monkey's Paw? Every wish comes with a price. Toodles, and the genie there is a wee peely-wally, I would not trust 'em."
As the genie was busy updating his social media, Prue made a excuse she had to leave. Since Manny was dead, she had to head downtown to get the paperwork out of the way, plus plan funerals for both Manny and Julie. Both Jaime and Jenny were still alive, and Paige was thinking how to get rid of them for good. Not a dramatic death, maybe leave the country forever. Maybe move to a remote village with no internet access and live as a hermit. She had to ask Piper. She was tempted to make a wish, but Rowena's warning rang in her ear.
Phoebe went upstairs to check the Book. It was weird, how the pages were blank. Her powers were still gone, but her premonitions occasionally made a appearance. Just not today. She was thinking hard and didn't hear the genie appear in front of her.
"Whatcha doing? Writing a book? Hello? This is the twenty first century! Computers exist! Want to publish the greatest novel to ever exist? I can grant that. Fame, money, power."
"Stalkers, no privacy, my book being butchered in a made for TV movie, the amount of taxes I have to pay, not to mention the headache of being responsible for everything. My life is hard enough as it is."
"Pleh. A real life genie falls in your lap, and you brush me off. I am the lottery! Rumors is you lost your powers. I can bring them back. Plus your sister is missing. I can bring her home. Whatta you say?"
"No."
The genie clutches his heart.
"So cold. Fine. Stay here and stagnant. I'm going to watch some reality TV. Do you have HBO? I want to watch some sexy documentaries."
Prue grimaced seeing the burnt bodies of "Manny" and "Julie." Neither one was real, but she couldn't help but shudder at the remains. She thanked the coroner and walked out. She killed demons and monsters on a regular basis, but she hated the amount of work they had to do to prevent the vessel from dying. Unlike Sam and Dean, her and the sisters saved the innocents inside.
"Miss Halliwell. I didn't expect to see you here."
Prue wanted to roll her eyes. Of course.
"Agent Murphy. What can I help you with." Prue says suspiciously.
"I want to give my condolences to your cousin's deaths."
Prue glared at him. Her eyes went dark, thankfully not black, making Agent Murphy swallow in fear.
"Thanks to you. My cousins are dead. They were innocent. The police report will prove it."
"The case in still under investigation. Miss Halliwell, I would like for you to come for a interview."
"Go to hell. I have funerals to plan. Plus help my father pay back his loans thanks to hefty bills the bails were set at." She stormed out.
Agent Murphy was spooked. Prue Halliwell. She wasn't human.
Dean got off the phone with Jenna. He and Sam were already on it, they were watching the case. When Jenna texted him the picture her hunter contact sent her, Dean immediately recognized it. Both Sam and him were looking in John's old journal.
"There it is. Everything is the same motto. Evil mimes."
Sam rolled his eyes.
"Monsters. Vampires."
"Vampire Mimes."
"So where do we start Dean. What did Jenna say?"
"She said her hunter contact called her about this case. Jenna was puzzled, she said the woman who called her knew her by name and called her a hunter. No one but us knows about Jenna's second job. Plus she said she recognized the voice."
"Did she say who?"
"No. But she swore she was talking to a old friend. That is why she called me. Since we are in the general area, she asked us to interview the woman."
"Sounds good to me. But first, lets solve this case."
Jaime was pouring into those old articles, in the back of her mind she was supposed to be somewhere, but she brushed it away. Those kids were under a ticking clock. She stared resentfully at her legs. If only she can walk.
"I can help sweetheart." A man with a Scottish accent says.
Jaime looks up. Who is that?
"Excuse me?"
Crowley looks at Piper Halliwell. So the rumors were true. She did have amnesia. This will be interesting. Especially since his throne is under siege by Prue and Zankou. He wasn't worried about Lilith, she kept herself in her chambers most of the time.
"I can make you an offer. You want to save those kids, I can help. Plus get you out of that chair."
Dan sighs in frustration. Once again he got stood up. He turns off the stove. He had a feeling that Jaime was pulling away. He wondered what he did wrong? He was the perfect boyfriend, he never pressured Jaime, or pushed her into things she wasn't ready for like intimacy. He never pushed her, but he was hoping this was the night they can finally consummate their relationship. Since he hated wasting food, he called for his neighbors to come over, might as well salvage this dinner.
Paige was taking a drive. She didn't bother glamouring, she didn't care anymore. Besides, she had bigger issues. Like her sister Piper who was still MIA. Plus that government agent. She didn't want to think about that genie, she read the lore online. She decided to hit her favorite coffee shop.
"One skinny latte, medium please." Paige ordered. After getting her coffee she sat down and opened up her laptop. Might as well see if anything unusual was going on. Huh. In Atlantic City a couple won several million in various casinos in a matter of days. Crossroads Deal? Maybe. As she read the article, she didn't notice a man sitting down beside her in the next table.
A hour later she was getting tired. She yawned. She wished Prue wasn't so serious these days. Thinking about her childhood, she didn't really have any friends growing up. If only she had sisters when she was young. Or better yet, all of them can be kids. So they can grow up together.
Prue wished Agent Murphy can go away.
Phoebe wished things were more simple.
"Your wish is my command." Finally.
Sam and Dean were glaring at the vampire. The vampire was cocky, he was taunting the Winchesters. Then he was staring at the Winchesters in disbelief.
Crowley was blinking at Piper.
Chuck was laughing. He never saw that coming.
Penny couldn't believe it. She was alive. Her girls were no longer adults, but small kids.
Seven year old Jaime was looking up at the man wearing a black coat.
"Who are you?"
Agent Murphy was scared to look down. He was afraid to fall.
Rowena wanted to scream. Idiots.
"Hello little girl. Name's Crowley. What's your name?'
"My grandma told me never to talk to strangers."
"Penny Halliwell. Hmph. She gave me lots of problems when she was younger. But what a woman." Crowley smiles at the memories. Especially 1975.
"Get away from her."
Crowley turns around.
"Moose! Squirrel! My two loathed people. What can I do for you?"
Sam and Dean weren't expecting to be here. One second they were hunting a vampire, the next second was in this library. Where exactly were they?
"Mmmmm. Damn this is so good." The ex-genie ignores the looks the restaurant patrons were giving him. He had no cash, but no matter. He hadn't eaten in over twenty two centuries. When he saw who sat across from him, the food in his mouth turned to dust. Oh oh.
Penny couldn't help it. She was enjoying her day at the park. Prue, Phoebe and Paige were laughing at the swings. As much as Penny was enjoying herself, this didn't feel right. One girl was missing. And one wasn't supposed to be here.
Prue. Phoebe, Paige. Power of Three. No. Paige was a adult when they met. Then where was the other one?
"Fine. But try figuring this one out. I have my Kingdom to run." Crowley vanishes.
Jaime looks at the two men. She was just a kid, but she immediately knew she could trust them.
"Are you friends with Grams?"
Sam and Dean looked at each other. Then at her. She looked so familiar. Especially to Sam. He felt like he knew her from somewhere. He knew immediately she needed to be protected.
"My name's Sam. This is my brother Dean."
Jaime smiles. She liked them. Way more than that snobby man in black. She jumps off her wheelchair.
"My name's Jaime. Um, my classmates are missing. I was reading those articles online." She points to the screen. "Are you two here to help?"
"Yes. Yes we are. Jaime, do you have a place to live?"
"My godparents. Owen and Sandra."
"We're taking you home. Before it gets dark." Jaime takes Sam's hand. Immediately Sam felt a jolt. He knew who this was. This was young Piper.
Rowena flops the agent on the bed. Luckily she had amnesia dust. To be sure she splashes his mouth and clothes with whiskey. Even if he remembers, he would blame the alcohol.
"You should have killed him." The wizard complained.
"I am not a murderer. Besides, he could prove useful."
The wizard laughs.
"Yeah and I'm a priest. So about our deal."
"In due time. Bring the Grimoire, and I'll bring the witch." Rowena needed the Sisters back. Especially Prue. Her coronation is about to begin. Too bad about Fergus. His reign is over.
The genie was backing away from the dragon. He was terrified. He was mortal now. The dragon slaughtered everyone at the restaurant and burnt it down. He was furious at the genie for breaking their agreement.
"You were supposed to kill the Charmed Ones. Not turn them into kids! Now a powerful witch is protecting them!" He fumed. His eyes were fiery red.
The genie backs away.
"One witch. Besides one is missing. The middle one, Piper. You could easily take her." Of course he already knew where Piper was. He sent the sword to Dean. Took bad it was broken, but at least the dragon would die. The Sword of Excalibur was still out there, but The One wasn't in this world right now.
The dragon growled. He had his orders, but for now, he grabbed the genie.
"We are going for a little ride."
"Are you sure?"
Sam nods.
"No wonder she looked so familiar. Sam, she is kinda young for you." Dean teases.
"No kidding. I already talked to the old couple. Get this. They are former Elders."
"They are what, sixties? That is old."
"No. They are former Senior Whitelighters. They fell."
"I thought whitelighters were immortal."
"Heaven is preparing for war. All of the whitelighters are stripped of their powers. Owen and Sandra, they weren't the only ones that fell. There was others, except only three are left alive. The others are dead. They aren't the only ones, former angelic vessels are dying left and right. Dean, this wasn't done by angels. It was done by another hunter."
"Just how to you know this?" Dean demanded.
"Because I told him. Hello Dean." Ketch says. ''Been awhile."
Penny was looking through the Book. This wasn't the Book of today, but it was the Book of her time. The present Book was blank. Her granddaughters must have did something desperate to give up their magic like that. She told her girls to stay in the house. She already put up protection spells. She had to know what caused this.
Piper was staring dreamily out the window. That guy was cute. The one with the long hair. Sam. He was sooo cute. She sighs. She wished she was grown up.
Ketch points at the sky.
"There's the dragon! Dean! Use the sword I gave you! It is the only weapon that can eliminate the dragon!" He was alive thanks to Rowena.
He managed to track her down using the witch's power to find her. She was fine, after Ketch's through interrogation. Good thing he had his hex bag embedded in his body, otherwise that bullet would have killed him. After he dropped off that witch, he went to see Rowena. She agreed to give him another Resurrection Seal, but only if he agreed to be a mercenary. After what he been through with that Prince, he agreed to do it. He was already looking for a cure for his friend, the Seer Kyra. She had only a few weeks left. If she wasn't cured, she was going back to the Pit. This time for good.
Dean waited to draw his weapon. Sam ordered Ketch to watch over Piper, he needed to stay with Dean. They dove out of the way when the Dragon breathes fire.
The genie holds back. He already knew he screwed up, that is why he came along with the dragon. He also knew his magic will be reversed. Genie magic was strong, but as long as the bottle existed, he can easily be put back in. Witnessing on what's going on, he knew that sword wouldn't be enough, they need the Power of Three to defeat it. Too bad their magic was missing. Wait. He knew how to communicate with the grandma. Her granddaughters had social media.
Charlie and Claire were having dinner at a popular buffet in San Francisco's famed Harbor. A new seafood restaurant just opened, and Charlie wanted to show Claire the sights of the city. Right now, Claire was eating a shrimp from Charlie's hand.
"Mmmm! Wow. So this is why people rave about this place." Claire smiles at Charlie. This was only their first date, but Charlie and Claire were already liking each other's company. It way way to early to start a relationship, but neither was worried about the work employee relationship. Charlie was about to about to give her another shrimp, when her phone dinged.
Sigh. "Ignore it." Claire begged.
"Baby, I want to. Believe me. But I have to answer this. Work may need me."
Charlie reluctantly put down her arm. Claire sighed, but understood. Charlie was the Director. As Charlie checked her phone, she expected to see something about her job. But when she checked her socials, her eyes immediately went big. She told a surprised Claire they needed to go. When Claire checked, she went up to the counter to pay. They immediately rushed out back to the Halliwell manor.
Dean, Ketch and Sam were diving away from the dragon's attack. This dragon was good. He kept dodging their attacks. Ketch was helping, although Sam and Dean were wondering how he was alive, Sam saw his brains splattered on the wall when he got shot. The dragon finally gave a frustrated shill and flew away, taking the genie with him. All three crawled out of their hiding places.
"What the hell? What is that thing?" Dean gasps. He was still reeling from the attack. A dragon? He heard the rumors, but to see one in person.
Sam was very curious about Ketch, but he was worried about child Piper.
"Dean, I'm going to check up on Piper."
"I'm coming with you, I need to talk to the witch." Ketch says.
Sam stops him. When Ketch tried following him, Dean held a gun to his head.
"Not a chance." He knew about the witches murders, Prue told Sam and Dean about them. It wasn't the witch hunter, every witch was found dead execution style. Only a professional could pull off.
Sam glared at Ketch. No way in hell was he going to hurt his fiancee.
"Fine. Just remember she needs to go home. Her sisters need her, especially Prue. Her time is coming close."
He walks over to his motorcycle and drives away.
"Dean. I'll meet you later."
"I'm coming with you. If something happens, I need to protect you both."
"Thanks Dean."
Penny was using her magic to see what magic was used to cause this. When she saw the results, she nodded in understanding. Her granddaughters were playing with their computer. Since all three were small, they wanted to play videogames. When the doorbell rang, Penny went downstairs to answer the door. There was two women there, along with someone she hasn't seen since the late sixties.
"Rowena MacLeod. You hadn't aged a day." Penny says in a dry voice. She knew Rowena from her parents. She used to visit her aunts, especially Pearl Russell back in the day. She never met Pearl, she died before Penny was born but she read her diaries. Pearl wow. She was baaddd. Whatever she was, witch or warlock, she scared the shit out of her cousins. Especially Rowena. Pearl always bragged that she had the 'Redheaded Bitch' wrapped around her finger. What ever Rowena's secret was, Pearl made sure to keep Rowena on her beck and call.
"Penny Halliwell. It's been years. As much as I like to exchange our usual insults, these girls need to tell you something."
"Come in."
"A genie? So that's how. But my girls know better. They are Tricksters in nature." Penny shook her head. Dammit, she should have warned them.
"Yeah, it somehow messaged me on Palz. He said the dragon is on his way here. He also said he knows where Piper is at." Charlie tells Penny, who looked confused.
''What is Palz? Is it a newspaper?"
Young Prue laughs.
"It's a Internet site. No one I know uses it anymore, we use Snapchat or Igram now."
When Penny looked more confused, Rowena gave her a quick explanation.
"Penny, the future is here. Nevermind about the Internet, these girls are trying to tell you about the dragon."
Penny shakes herself from her reverie.
"Yes, yes. The dragon. They are rare and very hard to kill. Only a special kind of sword can kill a dragon, but only if it's been dipped in dragon's blood. However, if the dragon is a higher tier dragon, only the Power of Three can destroy it. But, my girls are too young. Plus Piper is missing.''
Charlie and Claire offered to help find Piper. Charlie used a fake name on her Palz, obviously since her real self "died" in a car accident a while back ago. She had no profile picture, but used the account to keep tabs on her friends. The genie must have known about her from Rowena, since she was on her friends list.
As she was typing on her phone, Claire offered to babysit. Penny had the Power of Three, but still needed Piper's freezing power. She needed to summon someone else with that power. She asked Rowena for help.
"To bring back someone from the past. Yes, the ghost of Patricia wouldn't be enough, plus the girls are powerless. Just a warning, this can only be used once. The Angels of Destiny doesn't like it when their plans are messed with."
"Yes, yes. Rowena, I also need to you to harness the girl's powers. But remember to return them. Right now it's Phoebe's power we need."
"Believe me, I have no interest on keeping her powers. I have plenty. Let's do this."
Both Sam and Dean were standing by Piper's "grandparents" home. They knew Piper was inside, they watched her run into the house when they dropped her off. Sam hoped whatever Charlie was doing worked, she called him and gave him a quick summary on what's going on. She also told them that their long dead grandmother was back, presumably to keep them safe. As they were getting ready to knock, the door opened.
Odin seeing the two hunters invited them in.
"I been expecting you. Come inside."
Odin seeing Piper as a small child stirred memories inside of him. Then he and Sandra remembered everything. Their fall from grace. They also knew why they were sent here. To keep Piper safe. Seeing the Winchesters here, Odin knew him and Sandra's job was done. They were going back to Heaven, this time for good. As much as Owen loved his job, it was time. Sandra was already making coffee for the two hunters. Once Piper got her memories and age back, they were going to die. Oh well. Won't be the first time.
Piper was listening by the staircase. Angels? Heaven? As she listened, more memories came back. She had sisters. Prue, Phoebe. Mom. She died. But Grams was alive. Then who were these guys? When she heard the name Winchester, a emotion stirred in her heart. Sam. She shook her head. No. These guys were strangers. Owen and Sandra weren't her grandparents. She had to find her sisters. Quietly she snuck out the back door and ran into the woods. She was going to find Grams. No way was she staying here.
"Okay. I'm going to summon Patty. Rowena, light the candles."
''So bossy, ye hadn't changed in fifty years." Rowena says in light sarcastic voice. "I babysat you when you were just a wee nibbling. You puked on me."
Penny laughs.
''Even as a baby I knew you were bad news. Anyways, I'm going to start the chant."
Once Rowena lights the candles, Penny starts chanting.
''Patricia Halliwell, Mother of Three, Strong
Help me now to fix a wrong
By my blood, and by my need
Come to me. I summon thee."
Both Rowena and Penny watch as the not dead Patricia Halliwell came to life. Seeing Penny, she looked surprised, then seeing Rowena, she grimaced.
"Mom? What's going on?"
"Patricia. Our girls. They are in trouble."
"No need to explain. What do I need to do."
When Patty walked down the stairs, Prue, Phoebe and Paige screamed and hugged their mom.
"Mom! Your alive!" Prue says grabbing Patty in a hug. Both Phoebe and Paige had their arms around her legs.
"Mommy, I missed you. Grams said you died." Phoebe said in a sad voice. She was way too young to remember Patty. Paige never met Patty till she was older but her heart was telling her that this woman was her biological mother. She shyly pulled away. Patty hugged all her girls, including Paige. Noticing one girl missing, she asked Penny.
"Mom. Where's Piper?"
"I'll tell you in a minute. Right now, I need the girls safe. Charlie, Claire you mind taking the girls to the attic? They'll be safe there." Both Rowena and Penny amped up the protection magic. Whatever happens downstairs, the girls will be kept safe. Once they leave Penny, Rowena and Patty wait for the dragon.
Sure enough he storms in.
"Where are those brats. Genie, if they aren't dead, you will be." He threatened.
The genie didn't say anything. He wanted his freedom, but not at the expense of innocent lives. Not again. He was going back in the bottle, but not before telling the sisters were Piper was.
Penny, Patty and Rowena were waiting. Rowena got Phoebe's Powers thanks to Penny, who used a borrowing spell. Phoebe's powers weren't binded yet, not till she was six. Her age was only five, Paige four and Prue nine. Piper was most likely only seven. For now. Once this spell was cast, and this dragon vanquished, they were going to ask the genie to reverse it.
"Ladies. Start the chant."
"The Powers of Three, Set Us Free
The Powers of Three Set Us Free
The Powers of Three Set Us Free."
The dragon screams as he explodes. The three witches breathe a sigh of relief.
"Whew. Well hopefully that's that." Penny says to herself.
"Mom, my daughter."
"Right Piper."
"While you ladies do that, I'll talk to the troublemaker." Rowena says staring hard at the genie who looked sheepish.
"I just wanted my freedom."
"Hopefully you learned your lesson. I can't send you back in, only the one that set you free can. But don't try to run, I put up walls."
The genie looked at Rowena in a annoyed expression.
"Doesn't anyone trust me?"
The vampire smirks at young Piper. She willingly ran into their trap. They had their meals ready, but a snack is always welcome. Usually they preferred older adults, but young children can keep them fed for months or years
Once Penny and Patty explained what needed to be done, both Prue and Phoebe chanted the spell to reverse the genie's spell. Young Phoebe wish couldn't be reversed, she was too young to make wishes. So Penny and Patty needed to chant the reversal spell. Both Penny and Patty added their power. Neither wanted to leave, but the longer they stayed, the harder it would be to keep the Sister's destines from being fulfilled.
"A Time for Everything
And To Everything Its Place
Return Everything That Has Been Moved
Through Time and Place."
Piper smirked at the vampire who was staring at a now grown up Piper.
"Boo."
Piper just pushes the vampire into a rusty rake. While it was impaled, she picked up an ax and cut off its head.
"Veal is ethically terrible." Once she covered up the body, she opened the barn door where the most recent kids have been kidnapped. Just then Sam and Dean came in with blades. When Piper saw Sam, she smiled. "It's about time."
Once Penny and Patty hug their now adult daughters, they hug them goodbye. They heard the call, it was time to return.
"Mom, Grams. Can't you stay? We just got you back.'' Phoebe says.
Paige smiles shyly at the two women. She met them briefly before, but they were still strangers to her.
"Yeah. We can order a pizza and talk for awhile."
Prue didn't say anything, she felt nothing about her family. Penny must have noticed, she frowned at Prue.
"Prue, why are you so dark?"
"Grams. I'm fine. The longer you stay, the longer Piper is missing. Our magic is missing, but we can get it back." Prue knew the genie owed them.
"Goodbye girls." Penny hugs her granddaughters.
"Prue, Phoebe, Paige. Take care of one another. Besides, Piper will be home soon." Patty says hugging her daughters. Looking at Charlie and Claire, she nods her thanks. Both women smiled back.
"Just how to you know Piper is okay Mom?" Phoebe asks.
"A mom knows. Call your future brother in law, I sense Piper's happiness."
Once they fade away, Phoebe calls Sam's cell. Sure enough, she hears Piper's giggles.
"Just bring her home. We going to get our magic back."
When the women, including Charlie and Claire come downstairs, they found both Rowena and the genie flirting with one another. Rowena was blushing at his lame lines. Seeing them talking, both Charlie and Claire leave. But not before giving each other a sly look.
"Well since our work is done, we are going home. Call anytime. Good night."
"Thanks guys." They walk out holding hands.
Once they leave, Phoebe opens the lid. She gives the genie an apologetic look. The genie understood.
"I understand. Remember, since I got resetted, you got three more wishes. I promise, no consequences, no tricks. Consumer confidence guaranteed. Promise. Just rub."
"That sounds so dirty." Paige laughs. "Who wants to go first?"
"Me." Prue orders. Once she rubbed the lamp, the genie appeared.
"Your wish is my command. Master. What do you desire."
"Since Piper is safe, I want to know what is next."
The genie thinks. Oh god. Pain. Darkness. Loss. The future, it was blank. He granted wishes, but this. There was nothing. He looked sadly at Prue.
Prue seeing his face, had her answer. So it was true.
"My turn." Paige chirps. "I want our magic back, and wherever it is, there's no consequences."
"Done. Lake Tahoe. A couple named Ronny and Denise have them. Since this is Charmed magic, I can't just take them. Once Piper is home, you three can take them back. But, make sure to erase their memories. Plus, cleanse their auras. You know, personal gain and everything."
They nod. Phoebe seeing the genie flirting with Rowena knows what to wish for.
"I wish for your freedom."
The genie smiles.
"Finally."
Rowena then offers to drive the genie home. Since he was now mortal, Rowena was going to take him on a trip. But not before taking the bottle.
"I'm going to be taking this."
Prue looked disappointed seeing it being taken away.
"Why are you taking that?"
"It was my home for centuries. Besides it can capture not only anyone, but demons as well. Any demon or whatever can be a slave to the bottle. Just a as long as there is a warning. Take care."
The wizard watches as the Black Grimoire is being watched over. He knew the Coronation of the new Queen is getting ready. Wonder who bought that Book. The annual auction ended and whatever was traded was then sold. He wasn't stupid enough to sneak in, even with his magic, the powers there were too strong to steal it. He quickly leaves but not before leaving a souvenir behind. Crowley's tie.
Billie shakes Her head as another world is destroyed. It is almost done. Her plans to fix God's messes is almost complete. The Book says so.
