"A Musing Morning"

-Done in real time-


*Paige

[Friday morning, 7:00 AM.]

[Scene: Bank. Paige is making a withdrawal from her account.]

Paige: Yes, two-thousand.

(The Bank Teller looks at Paige's account and is shocked to see just how much money Paige has.)

BT: Um, did you win the lotto recently?

Paige: You could say that.   

BT: ...Sorry, I didn't mean to stick my nose in--

Paige: No, it's fine. My money, please.

BT: Of course.

(She hands Paige the money and a receipt)

Paige: Thank you.

BT: Have a nice day.

(Paige walks outside to her car, but her cell phone buzzes before she can open the door. She answers it, but only Paige's side of the conversation can be heard over the crowded street noise.)

Paige: Yeah?

(Paige attempts to get de hde her car while on the phone, but decides to lean against the car instead.)

Paige: I'm busy right now. Save it for next week.  

(Other side answers)

Paige: ...No.  I'm tired. It can wait, and so can you. 

(Other side continues)

Paige: Ugh. (Rolls eyes)

(Her attention is caught by a good-looking, young man around her age passing by. She follows him a bit, ignoring the phone caller, until he steps inside a small building.)

Paige: (To phone) Mmm-hmm. Yeah. Uh-huh.

(She walks inside after him, and watches as he steps up to the elevator. She moves the phone away from her ear so she can think of something to say to him.)

Paige: (Whispers) That's it.

(She TKorbs his wallet into her hand, and checks out his info.)

Paige: O-oh... baby. Very nice. 

(Just before the elevator door opens, she quickly walks up to him.)

Paige: Excuse me?

Young man: Yes?

Paige: You dropped this.

(He looks down at his wallet in her hand)

Young man: Whoa. How did I...?

(He looks up at her)

Young man: Thank you. 

Paige: Nooo problem. Btw, my name is Paige. 

Young man: Hi. Mine is Guy.

Paige: (Laughs) Well, of course you are. And I'm 'girl.'

Guy: (Smiles) No, it's actually 'Guy'.

Paige: Are you serious?

Guy: Not anymore. 

Paige: Me and my stupid 'bad'! Sorry.

Guy: It's cool.

Paige: I bet it gets confusing when you're out in public and someone shouts 'HEY GUY!' and they all think you're calling them?

Guy: I don't have anyone that would call out to me.

Paige: Well, what if I saw you down the street and called out "GUY!", but you couldn't hear me, so I kept trying and trying, but by the time I finally got your attention, I would've accumulated several random guys in the process? Wait a minute... I should try that anyway... Oops! Not very good at the pick up line, am I. 
  
Guy: It's okay. I think you're funny.

Paige: Funny how?

Guy: ...Cute funny.

Paige: (Grins) O-kay! Sold! (Laughs)

Guy: Listen, would you like to join me for brunch in my condo?

(Paige realizes she still has the cell phone on)

Paige: Huh? Did you just say you have a bunch of condoms?

Guy: (Laughs) No. I said condo, and if you'd like to join me for brunch?

Paige: Oooh! Well, uh, alright.

(They walk into the elevator. Paige quickly drops her cell into the garbage can)

[Friday, 8:30 A.M.]  

[Guy's condo. Paige and Guy just finish up with brunch, after a very long conversation.]

Guy: Wow. You'd never know it just by looking at you.

Paige: So, when I turned 18, I was like -- BAAM! Bitch. Went. Dooowwnn.

Guy: I'll never have the guts to stand up to my mother like that.

Paige: Practice makes perfect!

Guy: (Laughs) I bet it does.

Paige: Ask my Dad!

Guy: Jeez! Him too?

Paige: I was on a beating spree, what did you expect?

Guy: You got me.

Paige: (Laughs) So, enough about my failed sitcom. Tell me more about 'your' life.

Guy: Well, I don't think I can top that. But I'll try. 

(He gets up from his chair)

Guy: I'll be right back.

Paige: Okay.

(Guy returns with something hiding in his closed hand)

Paige: I noticed your closed hand... Planning on proposing to me?  

Guy: You read my mind...

Paige: Huh?

(Guy opens his hand to reveal a small ring.)

Guy: You like?

Paige: Wow. It's very pretty. Alright, who did it belong to?

Guy: Me. I thought I should give you a reward for finding my wallet.

Paige: Oh. In that case...

(Paige reaches over to take it, but Guy stops her)

Guy: Allow me.

(He places the ring on her finger)

Paige: I like it. The way it just blends into my finger... like it's... dis-appearing...

Guy: (Grins) You stupid witch. 

Paige: Witch?! How?? Who are you?! 

Guy: I'm Guy. 

Paige: No, you jerk, WHAT are you?!

Guy: That's easy. I'm the last chapter of your life. 

Paige: How the hell did you know I was a witch?!

Guy: With my brand new talisman: (He dangles it in front of her) it lets me know when a witch is nearby, and it, you know, vibrates... Sometimes I confuse it with my cell phone, but what are you going to do, huh? You won't believe the kind of powers I've obtained thanks to this little trinket... that, I happened to pick up at the top flea market in hell. ...Quite a bargain.

(Paige gives him a stone-cold glare, grabs the table from her side, and flips it in his direction, distracting him.) 

Guy: HEY!!!

(Paige runs for the door, but he blinks in front of it)

Paige: Stay away from me!!

Guy: ......

(Paige steps back, looking arounr sor something to use) 

Guy: By the way, how did you get my wallet?

(Paige catches a glimpse of a knife on the floor.)

Paige: Like this! KNIFE!

(The TKorb fails.)

Paige: What?!

Guy: So, that's how. You can teleport objects to you. Nice power! Although, I've seen something just like it before, 'cept this time, it WILL be mine!!

Paige: NOOO!

(She quickly picks up the knife herself.)

Guy: I don't think so, cutie.

(He uses telekinesis to move it into his hands.)

Guy: You're mine, now.

(Paige tries desperately to figure out how to get away, but her nerves keep her from thinking clearly. He charges her, but she dodges and runs toward the front door, opens ind hnd heads for the staircase. He blinks in front of the door. She kicks him in the balls, he falls to his knees, and then Paige tries to find another way out.)

Guy: Paaaiige. I'm gonna kiiiiiilll yooouuu.

Paige: Oh god, shut up!

(He blinks behind her)

Paige: AH!!

(He throws her down. She tries to fight him off, but he's quickly gaining the upper hand)

Guy: C'mon, 'baby', just let it happen.

Paige: Get (Breathes heavily) OFF!

Guy: Too late.

Paige: LEO!!!

Guy: That's not my name.

Paige: LEO!!! Where are you?!

Guy: Wait a minute... Oh, I think not!

(He tries to shut her mouth, but she bites it each time he tries)

Guy: OOW! Time. To. Die!

Paige: (Mumbles) Stupid-ass Whitelighter... 

(She tries to use her TKorb again, but it still fails.)

Guy: No more games, witch.

(She slips up, and he takes advantage of the opportunity. He quickly raises the knife aiming it at her neck. Just as he thrusts it at her, she instinctively orbs out)

Guy: ...Wh-what?! 

[Friday, 9:03 AM.]

[Halliwell Manor. Paige orbs into the living room.]

Paige: Ugh... Ow.

(She calls out to Piper, Prue and Phoebe, but there is no answer. The house is quiet)

Paige: Where are you people?! Leo?

(She hears a faint noise upstairs. She goes to investigate. After checking all the rooms, she heads for the attic. The attic door is a crack open. She slowly steps in.)

Paige: Oh shit.

(Prue is lying on the floor)

Paige: Prue? Prue??

(Before she can check if Prue is alive, she notices someone near the BOS)

Paige: What? AH!

(Paige quickly steps back as a robed woman stares at her. Where her eyes should be is a large, scarred lesion taking up the space of two eyes)

Woman: (In raspy tone) Who are you?

Paige: Who am me?! I mean, who are you! And what are you doing here and with the BOS?

Woman: I am Warlock.

(The 'woman' pulls out a small crystal orb from her poach. She holds it up in front of the spot where her eyes should be.) 

Warlock (Cont'd): You do not belong here.

Paige: Like hell I do! What did you do to Prue?

Warlock: That is her business. Leave before I kill you.

Paige: I don't think so, Acuvue-reject. 

Warlock: That... was cruel.

(The Warlock begins chanting)

Paige: No!

(Paige charges Warlock and both go crashing down. Paige starts beating on Warlock, but she knocks Paige off easily)

Warlock: You've been warned.

(She raises her arms and begins chanting again)

Paige: Damn.

(The crystal leaves Warlock and passes over Paige quickly.)

Paige: What...?

(Suddenly she rzes zes how she can beat Warlock. Paige charges her again, this time they both crash out the attic window. Paige orbs them somewhere else.)


*Phoebe


[Friday, 7:00 A.M.]  

[Scene: Hotel. Phoebe and Cole are in bed. They've just woken up.]

Cole: So, did you have any more nightmares?

Phoebe: How could I after last night?

Cole: You know, I've never met a woman who loved 'it' as much as a man... 

Phoebe: Then you don't know women.

Cole: I guess not...

Phoebe: Cole?

Cole: Yeah?

Phoebe: I've been thinking about your past a lot lately.

Cole: Why?

Phoebe: Well, since your father was human, how did he fall in love with a demon?

Cole: ...

(Suddenly a demon flames in)

Phoebe: WHOA!

Cole: PHOEBE!

(The demon throws a fireball at them, but Cole counters with an energy ball just in time to stop it causing a small explosion, that scatters random sparks and flames across the room. Cole and Phoebe quickly get up, but another demon  (Demon2) appears in front of them.)

Cole: How did you know I was here?!

Demon2: Don't ask me. Today was just my -lucky- day.

Phoebe: Cole! The first one!

Cole: Hold on, Phoebe!

(Cole shimmers out with Phoebe)

[Friday, 7:10 A.M.]

[At the Mausoleum]

Phoebe: Oh god. How did they know you were there?

Cole: They... must have found another way to track me. I need to take you to your sisters.

Phoebe: But Cole, you need help.

Cole: Phoebe, don't.

(The two demons appear inside and attack)

Cole: Get out of here, Phoebe!

Phoebe: Give it up already, I'm staying.

Demon1: (To Phoebe) Uh... are those real?

Phoebe: Huh?

(She looks down only to see that she is naked)

Phoebe (Cont'd): Oh-OH!

Demon1: I'm gonna enjoy this, witch.

Phoebe: Enjoy this! Hyah!

(She kicks him in the nuts, and flips him over her shoulder dropping him on the floor)

(Demon2 fires an FB at Colut Cut Cole shimmers behind him before it can hit)

Cole: (Whispers) Tell the Source he's going to die tonight.

(Cole readies an EB in each hand)

Demon2: You can't defeat the Source. It is eternal! (Looks left and right) But I will deliver the message...

(Demon2 flames out)

Phoebe: Cole!

(Demon1 flames out)

Cole: It isn't safe here.

Phoebe: Lets go.

[Friday, 7:17 A.M.] 

[Halliwell Manor. Cole shimmers in with Phoebe]

Phoebe: Prue! Piper!

Cole: I�ll be right back. Get some clothes on.
 
(Cole shimmers out)

Phoebe: Cole, wait!

(She calls out to Piper and Prue, but there is no answer. The house is quiet. She checks the time)

Phoebe: They couldn�t have left for work already... Oh-my-god, I can't believe I'm actually calling them while naked.

(Phoebe heads upstairs to her room)

[Friday, 7:32 A.M.]

(Cole shimmers back in)

Cole: Phoebe?

Phoebe: (From upstairs) I'm coming!

Cole: ...

(Phoebe comes down)

Phoebe: Cole, my sisters are missing!

Cole: What?

Phoebe: I-I checked around the house and called their work and cell numbers... but I got nothing. 

Cole: Maybe they just stepped out?

Phoebe: See, that's what I thought at first, but we already did the grocery shopping, and the laundry. I think something happened to them or maybe a demon or warlock attacked.

Cole: Wouldn't surprise me if they're out there right now chasing one of them.

Phoebe: I evelledlled for Leo, but no answer. I'm really worried. What if--

Cole: Don't think about it now. We'll find them.

Phoebe: If something happened to them I--

Cole: Phoebe.

Phoebe: ...What?

Cole: I want to end this.

Phoebe: What?!

Cole: No, I meant what's happening to us 

Phoebe: Oh. Don't scare me like that again. Wait, what do mean?

Cole: I'm going to kill the Source.

Phoebe: Cole, you can't take him on.

Cole: No, but Belthazor can.

Phoebe: It's too dangerous.

Cole: I've already made up my mind.

Phoebe: Just like that?! What if you die??

Cole: As long as I take him with me, it doesn't matter.

Phoebe: Listen to what you're saying! You want to die?  

Cole: Of course not! You think it's easy for me to think of leaving you? It's not like I haven't thought it over a million times.

Phoebe: How long have you felt this way?

Cole: Since this... morning.

Phoebe: That's it!? A couple of demons and you're ready to throw it all away?

Cole: You don't understand. My mind has been on overdrive ever since I woke up. All I can think about is getting rid of him...

Phoebe: I've never seen you this worked up before. Believe me, I would love to get rid of him too, but I know my limits, and I know when something is pointless...  

(A beat)

Phoebe: ...At least let me come with you!

Cole: You're joking, right?

Phoebe: Nope. You're not the only one who's been thinking a lot.

Cole: Phoebe, you do remember what you and your sisters did the last time you where there?

Phoebe: So? I can find a way in.

Cole: O-kay. Don't think that this change of heart will make any difference. You're not coming, and that's final.

Phoebe: What are you, my father? 

Cole: Ugh. Phoebe, I love you, but you need to stay put and let me take care of things.

Phoebe: I'll stop you.

Cole: (Smiles) How?

Phoebe: I'm thinking.

Cole: Right. 

(Cole turns to leave, but Phoebe stops him)

Phoebe: You're not doing this!

Cole: Yes, I am.

Phoebe: NO, you're not!

(She grabs onto him tight)

Phoebe (Cont'd): Try and shimmer out now!

Cole: Phoebe! What are you, twelve?! Let go of me!

Phoebe: No.

Cole: ...Phoebe, I'm warning you.

Phoebe: And I'm warning you.

(A beat)

Phoebe (Cont'd): ...Can't you see this is foolish?

Cole: ......

(Cole changes into Belthazor, and uses his strength to knock Phoebe off him)

Belthazor: DON'T GET IN MY WAY AGAIN.

Phoebe: Wait! You owe me a last request...

(He transforms back into Cole)

Cole: What?

Phoebe: At least let me do two things before you leave.

(He transforms into Belthazor again)

Belthazor: THAT'S TWO.

(Phoebe is startled)

Phoebe: Oh! Sorry, I meant two.

Belthazor: (GROWLS) ...

Phoebe: Ooo, down boy.

(He transforms back into Cole)

Cole: Well?

Phoebe: One: Let me try to use the BOS to help you beat him. Two: ...Marry me.

(Cole just stares at her)

Phoebe (Cont'd): Do I have to get on my knees? 'Cause that would be weird.

Cole: ...

(Cole walks up to her and kisses her long and hard)

[Friday, 7:50 A.M.]

[Phoebe and Cole are still going at it.]

[Friday, 8:00 A.M.]

[...]

[Friday, 8:08 A.M.]

[Phoebe pulls away.]

Phoebe: My lips take that as a yes, are they right?

Cole: Oh, they're right.

Phoebe: Then let's go and get ready! 

[Friday, 8:09 AM]

[Phoebe is looking through the BOS. Cole is there waiting]

Phoebe: Let's see... I didn't realize how many defensive spells we lacked. But that's not a problem, I can figure out some on my own.

Cole: You can?

Phoebe: Yes, my lover, yes.

Cole: This is no time for jokes.

Phoebe: I know! We can go to our local wicca-mart!

Cole: Wicca-mart??

Phoebe: They have lots of things for magickal protection. Let's hurry.

[Friday, 8:16 A.M.]

[At the shop. Phoebe walks up to the young woman at the counter]

Phoebe: I need anything you got on protection spells, stones, and crystals, asap!

Young woman: Come right this way.

[Outside store. Cole is pacing back and forth. He looks around and notices someone familiar across the street getting into her car. He quickly heads over to her.]

Cole: Prue!

(Prue looks up. She is visibly distracted)

(Prue answers)

Cole: Walking.

(Prue answers)

Cole: She... was with me earlier, but went home.

(Prue answers)

Cole: No... I'm not. She was worried about you guys, actually. She thought something might've happened to you two.

(Prue answers)

Cole: ...I'll tell her.

(Prue answers)

(Prue gets inside her car and drives away)

Cole: (Sighs) Good-bye, Prue.

(From across the street)

Phoebe: Cole! I got the stuff!

(Cole nods and walks back to her) 

Phoebe: What where you doing over there?

Cole: Talking to Prue.

Phoebe: Why didn't you tell me?

Cole: Your sisters are fine. But they're upset with you because you didn't tell them where you were all this time. I thought you said they knew you were with me?

Phoebe: Let's not get into that now.

Cole: Fine. What did you get for me?

Phoebe: Not now. Follow me.

[Friday, 8:40 AM]

[Phoebe and Cole step out of a chapel as newly-weds]

Phoebe: (Face glowing) Hee. 

Cole: ...There's no time for honons,ons, so don't get any ideas. 

Phoebe: Don't get any ideas? Talk about understatements. And we will have a honeymoon.

Cole: If I survive.

Phoebe: You will. And I don't need my power to see that.

Cole: ...

Phoebe: Anyway, speaking of honeymoons, I was thinking we could do a cruise!

Cole: A cruise?

Phoebe: Yeah. And we could pull a Titanic! 

Cole: And sink the ship??

Phoebe: Noooo, silly! (Smiles) Just the romantic parts.

Cole: I... don't think those can be sunk... Um, when was the last time you read or watched the Titanic?

Phoebe: Huh? ...Oh. I forgot how it ends... 

Demon1: (While walking up the steps) Oh, and here I thought it ended happily... ever... after...

Cole: (Steps in front of Phoebe) Stand back Phoebe!

Demon2: Heh-heh. Human much?

Demon1: Good one.

Demon2: Heh.

Phoebe: Jealous?

Demon1: Hey baby... wanna wrestle?

Phoebe: Wrong sister, pal. Hyah!

(She kicks him in the head, knocking him down the steps)

Demon1: ARGH!

Demon2: Ready to die, Belthazor?

Cole: Is the Source here?  

Demon2: He's right behind--

(Cole quickly turns around to see)

Raynor: (While grabbing Phoebe from behind) Greetings Belthazor. We meet (Sighs) again.

(He holds a knife to her throat)

Phoebe: Cole!

Cole: What the hell?! I killed you! 

Raynor: Yes, you did. Anyway, the Source is very busy, and none of his minions want to come up against you anymore... Not that I blame them, but who would come against a being that happens to be the lapdog of the Charmed Ones?

Phoebe: Well, prepare to become a statistic.

Raynor: I don't mean to humiliate you, but how do you intend to kill me without your sisters?

Demon1: (Grinning) By flashing us.

Phoebe: Hey!

Raynor: (To Cole) Now, be a good demon and follow me into the chapel.

Cole: You'll pay for this, Raynor.

Raynor: Yes, yes, save the melodrama for your dead father -- get inside!

(Cole slowly steps inside. Raynor gestures for Demon 1 & 2 to follow Cole)

[Friday, 8:51 AM]

[Inside chapel]

Cole: What the hell is this about!?

Raynor: It's about you, obviously. What do you hope to accomplish in challenging the Source? Do you really think you'll stand a chance??

Cole: The Source's power is overrated. I can defeat him.

Raynor: ...Living with the Charmed Ones has certainly made you more arrogant. Or maybe that's just your muse speaking?

Cole: What? 

Raynor: Nothing. 

(He hands Phoebe over to the demons, and steps up to Cole)

Raynor (Cont'd): I was hoping we could go somewhere more private.

Cole: Just tell me what you want already -- I don't have time for !

!

Raynor: (Whispers) Settle down. You'll  mak make things worse for yourself.

(He pulls Cole away from hearing distance of the others)

Raynor (Cont'd): I understand how you feel, Belthazor, I do. I know how much your demonic-side wants to have the Source's power.

Cole: That's not what this is about, and you know it!

Raynor: Why else would you're instincts tell you to kill him? To save your witch? Come now, you know the Source is eternal!

(Cut back to the others holding Phoebe)

Demon1: (To Demon2) Hey.

Demon2: What?

Demon1: I just got an idea of what to do with the witch.

Demon2: Oh yeah?

Demon1: Follow me.

Phoebe: NO! COLE!

(The demons flame out with Phoebe)

Cole: Phoebe!!

(Raynor stops him)

Cole: Let go of me you son of a bitch!

Raynor: Let her go.

Cole: NO!

(Cole transforms into Belthazor, breaks free, picks up Raynor and tosses him out the chapel window)

Belthazor: (GROWLS) PHOE-BEE.

(Belthazor shimmers out)

[Friday, 9:02 A.M.]

[SF Docks. Belthazor shimmers in and searches the area]

Belthazor: PHOE-BEEE!!

(Raynor shimmers in)

Raynor: Ah. They're fast. 

Belthazor: WHERE IS SHE?

(Demon 1 and 2 flame in)

Demon1: (To Demon2) Whoa! That took a lot longer than I thought!

Demon2: Ha. 

Belthazor: WHAT DID YOU DO?!

(Demons 1 and 2 are startled)

Demon2: Wouldn't you like to know.

Belthazor: GRAAAGHH!!

Demon1: (To Demon2) Run!

(Both try to run away, but Belthazor quickly shimmen frn front of each and knocks them onto one pile)

Demon2: Oww!

Demon1: We've fallen, and can't--

Belthazor: ENOUGH!

Demon1: Yipes!

(Raynor sighs) 

Belthazor: (GROWLS) WHERE IS PHOE-BEE?

Demon1: Um, um, um, um...!

Demon2: (To Demon1) Stupid... (To Belthazor) We made her 'wish' come true.

Demon1: Yeah, yeah. She's drowning.

Belthazor: WHAT?!?!

Demon2: (To Demon1) You id-iot!

Raynor: Where is she, you fools?

Belthazor: ???

Demon1 and 2: Huh?

Raynor: Don't make me repeat myself!

Demon1: Uuuuhh.

Demon2: We dumped her in the ocean.

Belthazor: GRRRAAAGARAGH!

(Belthazor loses control, grabs Demon1 and tosses him in the air)

Demon1: (While flying in the air) Saaaave meeee brrroothheerrrr!

(Demon2 throws a FB at Belthazor)  

Raynor: NO!

(Belthazor is slowly engulfed in flames)

Belthazor: AARGH! 

(Belthazor quickly jumps into the lake)

Demon2: Damn! I almost had him!

(Demon1 flames in)

Demon1: Hmm... I smell dead demon.

Demon2: Good one. 

Demon1: I love that movie.

(Raynor checks for Belthazor, but sees no trace of him in the water)

Demon2: Heh. My favorite part was when the guy found out he was dead.

Demon1: Yea-huh.

Demon2: And all those humans that complained about all the noise we kept making during the movie, and how we got sweet revenge on each one of them in their own homes later? 

Demon1: Oh yeah! Huh-huh.

Demon2: Heh-heh. 

Demon1: Huh-huh. 

Demon2: Heh-heh. Heh-heh.

Demon1: Huh-huh. Huh-huh.

Demon2: Heh-heh. Heh-heh. Heh-heh.

Demon1: Huh-huh. Huh-huh. Huh-huh.

Demon2: Heh-heh. Heh-heh. Heh-heh.

Raynor: SILENCE!

Demon1: Huh-huh...huh.

Demon2: Heh...

Raynor: If he dies tonight, the Source will have your heads!

Demon1: Huh?

Demon2: The Source wants him dead. You're the one that wants him alive. 

Demon1: Hey, he might even give us a reward!

Demon2: Whoa! Let's go and get it!

(Both flame out)

Raynor: (While looking at the water) ...Bastard.

(Raynor turns to leave when suddenly something grabs his leg and pulls him into the water.)


*Piper


[Friday, 7:00 A.M.]

[Scene: Beach. Piper lying on a blanket and is staring at her ring.]

Piper: ...... (Memories of the best moments in her marriage to Leo begin to flood her mind.)

(Prue calls on the phone. Piper hesitates to answer, but does anyway)

(Prue answers)

Piper: ...hmm? Yeah.

(Prue answers)
per:per: No.

(Prue answers)

Piper: ...Uh. I had some things to take care of.

(Prue answers)

Piper: Why?

(Prue answers)

Piper:  How could I forget...

(Prue answers)

Piper: Well, I'm here.

(Prue answers)

Piper: Uh-huh. See you later. 

(Prue answers)

Piper: I gotta go. Bye. 

(Prue answers)

Piper: Uh-huh, bye.

(Prue answers)

(Piper hangs up)

(Piper lies back down on her blanket, looking up, thinking/day dreaming.) 

~Imaginary Scenario 1: Contaontation~

(Piper walks into Phoebe's room and locks the door)

Piper: Phoebe.

Phoebe: Hey, Piper. What's up?

Piper: My marriage.

Phoebe: Huh?

Piper: Look, I kept thinking about how to handle this over and over again, but I decided to just confront the guilty to their faces.

Phoebe: ...Piper, what are you--

(Before Phoebe can finish, Piper slaps her so hard Phoebe almost falls back)

Piper: Who do you think you are?! 

Phoebe: Piper, what hasten ten into you?!

Piper: What gives you the right to take him too? You're my freakin' sister for god-damn-it-to-hell's sake!

Phoebe: What are you talking about!?

Piper: LEO!

Phoebe: What? Piper, you're not making sense!

Piper: Oh really? Well why don't I drive the point home for ya? (Points at Phoebe) You. (Points at herself) MY husband! (Waves her hands around and claps them together) TOGETHER.

Phoebe: Oh-kaaaaay. I think you need to sit down, honey. 

Piper: (Her eyes widen with fury) Of course...

(Piper slaps Phoebe again, but this time Phoebe retaliates by grabbing Piper's arms)  

Phoebe: Whoever said Leo and I were having sex, needs to get their facts straight. 

Piper: YOU HAD SEX?!  You -- you -- slut.

Phoebe: OH! 

(Piper breaks free and pulls Phoebe's hair hard, and Phoebe does the same in return)

Piper and Phoebe: AAHHH!!

(Piper trips Phoebe, but Phoebe pulls Piper with her.)

Phoebe and Piper: AHH! 

Piper: After every-- 

(Both roll over, with Piper ending up on top) 

Piper (Cont'd): --thing I've been through--

Phoebe: Get off me!

(Both roll over again, with Phoebe on top this time)

Phoebe (Cont'd): I didn't sleep with Leo!! 

Piper: LIAR!

(Kicks Phoebe off her. Both stand up)

Phoebe: Are you possessed again?

(Close-up on Piper's shocked reaction)

Piper: Kick a sister while they're down, eh? Well let's see if you--

(Leo orbs in)

Leo: I ed yed you two were in danger... Are you guys okay?

Phoebe: Oh, Leo! Something's wrong with Piper!

Leo: Piper? What... hapd?
d?

Piper: Hi, honey.

Leo: Huh?

(Piper blows Leo up)

Phoebe: OH MY GOD! Piper, have you lost your mind?!

Piper: You're next.

(Piper readies her arms)

Phoebe: (Terrified) Um... Piper... What are you doing?

Piper: Doing the world a favor.

(Piper slowly moves towards Phoebe. Phoebe quickly steps back)

Phoebe: Just relax, everything will be fine.

(Leo orbs back together)

Leo: Piper!

(Piper turns around and blows Leo up again) 

Piper: Stay down!

(Phoebe knocks Piper out)

[3 weeks later]

(Piper wakes up lying in a bed, fully restrained)

Piper: What the hell is this?! Where am I?!

Phoebe: Piper...

Piper: Phoebe? Where the hell am I?!

Phoebe: Shh, Piper, you finally came to. Take it easy.

Piper: Tell. Me. What. I. Am. Doing... Here!

Phoebe: You mean you don't remember??

Piper: The last thing I remember was kicking your ass for stealing my husband!

(Leo orbs in)

Leo: Piper. 

Phoebe: Leo, she doesn't remember what she did.

Leo: But how?

Phoebe: I don't know! You didn't use your--

Leo: No.

Phoebe: Then why?

(Leo shrugs his shoulders)

Piper: Tell me what happened, OR ELSE!

Phoebe: Uh-oh, she's starting again.

Leo: Piper... You... Phoebe, I-I can't.

Phoebe: It's okay. I'll tell her. Piper, after I... knocked you out, you, you woke up and went on a rampage.

Piper: What?

Phoebe: You blew Leo up a few more times; You blew up... Cole, and hunted me down across SF blowing up every adulterer you saw... not to mention the no-tell motel. Uh... basically you just lost it. All of it. 

(Leo looks away from Piper. Piper just stares at Phoebe)

(A few seconds later)

Piper: Gimme a break! (Laughs) You don't honestly expect me to believe that story, do you?

Leo: (Hesitantly) It's true. 

Piper: You're serious?

Phoebe: Uh, Prue and I -- we bound your powers just in case you woke up.

Piper: Prue? Wait, where is she? I want to see her!

Phoebe: I'm sorry, but you're not allowed to.

Piper: What?? What do you mean I'm--

Leo: You don't deserve to.

Piper: But I-I-I... I don't remember any of that! You're lying!

Phoebe: No, we're not. (Her watch beeps. She looks at Piper) It's time to take your medication.

Piper: No, NO! Don't you dare touch me! You're lying. Both of you.   

Phoebe: Oh, you know that's not true. Face it Piper, you belong here. You really can't control your emotions, so the only place you can truly be content, is here, with me, as your nurse... 

(Dramatic pause)

...Forever.

Leo: And this is my last visit -- I already started seeing other witches. 

Piper: What-what?!

Phoebe: You mean that cute one?

Leo: Yes. Kiki.

Piper: Kiki?!

Leo: But we don't have a real relationship. We just have lots and lots of sex.

Phoebe: You naughty boy. Hee-hee.

Leo: I never knew what I was missing when I was with you, Piper.

Phoebe: Leo, don't be mean.

Leo: Sorry, Phoebe. It's just that after all I did to help you three, for 'your sister' to betray me like that... it just-- (His eyes water)

Phoebe: Oooh. It's okay.

(She holds him in her arms)

Leo: Phoebe?

Phoebe: Yes?

Leo: What are you doing this afternoon?

Phoebe: Me? Um, not much.

Leo: Would you like to get something to eat?

Phoebe: Sure! 

(Piper laughs)

Phoebe: Huh?

Piper: Oh god. This... is just (Laughs some more) ridiculous! I mean, you two, weren't together at all, were you?

Phoebe: We tried to tell you. 

Piper: Whatever, Phoebe.

(Piper continues to laugh)


~Scenario 1 end~


[Piper opens her eyes and starts laughing]

Piper: (To herself) What am I doing? 

(She stops and thinks/daydreams some more)


~Imaginary Scenario 2: Wait and see~


[Prue and Piper are sitting at the kitchen table]

Prue: So, how long has it been since he's seen you?

Piper: In a minute it'll be two weeks...

Prue: Don't worry, he'll be back. 

Piper: I know.

Prue: Speaking of missing people, Phoebe is barely here anymore.

Piper: Which means nothing. Phoebe and Leo aren't having an affair.

Prue: But Piper, it's too much of a coincidence that Phoebe has been getting flowers everyday since he got... 'busy'. Plus, there was that lipstick he had on his face when he came to heal me because Phoebe didn't show up to help kill that demon, and that other time when he smelled like Phoebe's perfume, and when I saw a white light shine through Phoebe's door the other night, and--

Piper: Prue, enough. I already told you that I trust my husband and sister. Now, you know that I asked him if he was cheating on me, and he said no, so that's that.

Prue: Piper, I know you're not usually this gullible, but you have to face the reality that Phoebe and Leo are having an affair.  

Piper: No, they're not. Stop instigating. Just go and find out more info on the Source's plans, or something.

Prue: ...You know what? Fine. But don't be surprised when you finally catch them in the act. 

(Prue leaves. Leo orbs in)

Leo: Piper.

Piper: Leo?

Leo: I need to talk to you about--

Piper: Where you've been?

Leo: Actually, where goi going.

Piper: What do you mean?

Leo: Well, I'm in the running to become an Elder, and, I wanted to let you know that n't n't be your WL anymore. 

Piper: (Sighs) Is that right? You're leaving me?

Leo: You'll get a new Whitelighter -- a GOOD, of, of course, but yeah.

Piper: I see...

Leo: Piper?

Piper: Hmm?

Leo: You feeling well?

Piper: Oh, yeah. I'm fine. You gotta do what you gotta do. 

Leo: Thanks for understanding, honey. (Smiles) Bye.

(Leo orbs out)

Piper: ...Good-bye.

[Motel Room #6-18]

(Leo orbs in. Phoebe is lying on the bed.)

Phoebe: (Seductively) Hi...

Leo: (Cool and confident) Hey...

Phoebe: Did she buy it?

Leo: That she did.

Phoebe: Oh, you sexy, yet naughty angel, you! Come here!

(Leo hops onto the bed and into Phoebe's arms)

Leo: You gonna tug my wings again?

Phoebe: Hee-hee. May-be! 

(She straddle him)

Phoebe (Cont'd): I was thinking we could orb across the globe, you know?

(She plays with her hair)

Phoebe (Cont'd): And do... stuuuff. (Giggles)

Leo: Anything for my sweet Phoebe. But what about the power of 3? Or my duty?

Phoebe: Pfft. We'll blow 'em off! I just wanna rock-k-k--

(Leans forward, and whispers in his ear)

Phoebe (Cont'd): k-k-k-k.

(They make googly-eye contact)
 
[20 years later...]

[Piper is still living in the manor]

(Piper is sitting on the coach, knitting a sweater while watching a talk show)

Host on talk show: Welcome back! We're talking to women who cheat, and their gullible husbands. 

Husband: My wife has always been friendly, so I never once suspected anything unusual.

Host: But the evidence was as clear as day.

Husband: I'm sorry if it's so hard to believe that my wife was actually taking sex lessons to improve our love life.

Host: I... see. Well, um, how many lessons has she taken so far?

Husband: Last count... 4--

Host: Lessons??

Husband: No, years worth.

(Audience is in shock)

Piper: (To TV) Loser. Try opening your eyes, bud.

Husband: Also, the children she had while practicing were an accident, so if any of you want a free baby -- call us!

Host: (Nods head) Right. Free babies?! What's next? Disposable teens? Pregnant men??

(Audience laughs and applauses)

Host (Cont'd): We'll be right right back!

Piper: All righty! I'm done.

(She holds up a sweater with the initials M.H.)

(Prue walks in)

Prue: What are you doing?

(Piper tries to hide the sweater)

Piper: Nothing.

Prue: I know what that is. Hand it over!

Piper: No way.

Prue: Look... Never mind, I'm going to check the BOS for a spell I need.

Piper: You do that.

(Prue leaves. Leo orbs in)

Leo: Piper.

Piper: Leo! Long time no see!

(They hug)

Leo: I missed you so much.

Piper: Aw, you too. How long has it been since we--

Leo: Twenty years!

Piper: Gosh, where does the time go?

Leo: Yeah... (Trails off) Um, hey, listen, is it okay if I did some laundry?

Piper: Of course! Go right ahead, and let me help you.

Leo: Thanks.

(Piper drags the huge bag bro brought. The phone rings)

Piper: Leo, could you get that?

Leo: Sure.

(Leo picks up the phone)

Leo: Hello?

Kid: DADDY!

Leo: (Whispers) Quiet, I'm in the bad place right now.

Kid: Oooohh... 

Leo: Daddy'll be home soon. Don't call here again, okay?

(Phoebe answers)

Phoebe: Leo, I had a premonition!

Leo: Really?

Phoebe: Yeah. I saw... I saw blood, Leo...

Leo: Oh god.

Phoebe: I know.

Leo: Did someone die?

Phoebe: No, I just got my period, silly!

Leo: Oh.

Phoebe: Could you pick up some tampons while you orb back?

Leo: Okay.

Piper: Leo?

Leo: Uh-oh, I gotta go!

(Leo hangs up the phone and goes to Piper)

Piper: Are you sure these kid-clothes are for that orphanage?

Leo: Uh, yeah.

Piper: Even the one with "Leo and Phoebe are my mommy 'n' daddy"?

Leo: ...Yeah.

Piper: Aw. How sweet! A kid whose parents have the same name as you and Phoebe.

Leo: It's really sweet... Um, Piper, we need to talk.

Piper: About what?

Leo: ...I have to leave again.

Piper: What? But you just got back so soon!

Leo: I know, I know. It's hard for me too.

(Prue walks in)

Prue: Oh, I wouldn't bet on that.

Leo: Oh god, it's Prue!!

(Leo hides behind the kitchen counter)

Piper: Prue!

Prue: I'm so sick and tired of this shit. 

(Prue TKs Leo all the way out the front door)

Piper: Leave Leo alone! His job is very important!

Prue: I'm sorry Piper, but you need to stay out of my way.

Piper: No! Stop accusing him of things!

Prue: Wake up! They're walking all over you!

Piper: Prue, stop, please! Don't--

Leo: (From outside) You can't stop me from seeing my wife!

Prue: Isn't she taking care of her daughter?

Leo: Duh! ...Oops.

Piper: ...

Prue: You see, Piper? 

Piper: ...

Leo: Piper, don't listen to her, she cast a spell!

Prue: No, I didn't! But maybe I should've used magic a long time ago!

Piper: ...I don't have a daughter...

Prue: Piper?

Piper: Leave me alone. All of you. Just...

(Piper runs upstairs)

Leo: Piper!!

Prue: Stay away from her! I'm warning you!

Leo: You can't stop me!

(Leo starts to orb out)

Prue: Oh no you don't!

(She TKs the orb into a poll)

Leo: Ouch!

Prue: Leave!

(Leo tries to orb again, but Prue intercepts him and sends him flying into a tree)

Leo: Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

(Prue runs upstairs)

Prue: Piper? Piper where are you??

(She hears something in the attic, and investigates)

Prue: Piper, what are you doing?

Piper: I want to vanquish them!

Prue: What?

Piper: (While looking in the BOS) There has to be a spell. Something.

Prue: Piper, believe me, nobody would like to vanquish them more than me, but we can't.

Piper: (Eyes watering) Oh my god, what is wrong with me?! How could I...?

(Prue takes Piper into her arms and holds her tight, comforting her)

Prue: It's not your fault, honey. You just didn't want things to change, and I don't blame you one bit. Leo and Phoebe took advantage of that.

Piper: (Crying) I wasted 20 years for nothing! All I could think about was making things work, and finally having my baby. Now, it's just... I don't know. I don't know what to do. Prue, why is that?? How could I not know? Please tell me.


~Imaginary Scenario 2 End~


[Friday, 8:01 A.M.]

[Piper opens her eyes and sits up]

Piper: ......That was depressing.

(She stretches out a bit, grabs her things and heads to her car)

Piper: Leo? ...Leo!
 
(She gets inside her car)

Piper: Leo?? I know you can hear me. Where are you?

(She waits a while, but no answer)

Piper: Fine, whatever.

(She drives away)

[Friday, 8:25 A.M.]

[Leo orbs into the front seat of her car]

Piper: Oh! You scared me!

Leo: (Breathing heavily) Piper, what's wrong?! Did a demon attack?! Are you okay?!

Piper: No, no, no. That's not why I called you.

Leo: You mean you called me for nothing??

Piper: What? What do you mean 'nothing'? (She observes him more closely) And why are you so stressed out? What happened? 

Leo: ...Nothing. If it has nothing to do with demons, warlocks, or injuries, then I need to go.

Piper: It does have to do with that stuff.

Leo: Hurry.

Piper: Whatever it is, Leo, I'm sure it can wait.

(Leo gives her a look)

Piper: What?

Leo: Nothing, just tell me.

(Piper stops the car)

Piper: Alright. Now, there's this demon and warlock, right? Well, they're having an affair, and think the other parties don't know about it, but they do.

Leo: ...? 

Piper: Well, what do you think about that?

Leo: Huh?

Piper: Ugh! Just change the demon and the warlock into a witch and a whitelighter.

Leo: A witch and a whitelighter are having an affair??

Piper: Exactly!

Leo: I don't get it... Wait, are you saying that you're seeing another WL!?

Piper: WHAT?! Me?! No, you! You and Phoebe!

Leo: Me and Phoebe!? Piper--

(Leo is distracted by something)

Piper: Piper what? Speak.

Leo: I-I have to -- to go. 

(He gives her a serious look)

Leo: We'll talk about this later.

Piper: Ooooh, nooo! We do this now!

(Leo begins orbing out, but Piper grabs on and is pulled with him.)


*Prue

[Friday, 7:00 A.M.]

[Scene: Prue's car. She picks up her phone and calls Piper]

-
(Prue waits)

Prue: Piper, answer. 

(Piper picks up)

Prue: Piper? Are you at P3 today?

(Piper answers)

Prue: Something wrong?

(Piper answers)

Prue: Why are you there so early?

(Piper answers)

Prue: You know why I'm asking, right?

(Piper answers)

Prue: Because of Phoebe.

(Piper answers)

Prue: That's just what I was going to ask you.

(Piper answers)

Prue: Um, I think we ady edy established that.

(Piper answers)

Prue: Huh?

(Piper answers)

Prue: Piper? I'm going over there later, okay?

(Piper answers)

Prue: Okay... Bye.

(Piper hangs up)

Prue: (Sighs)

(Prue stops at the Bank, and heads inside)

Prue: (To the Bank Teller) Yes, I'd like to cash a check.

BT: Sure. 

(Prue notices something on the floor)

Prue: Oh, it looks like somebody--

(Prue picks up a receipt)

BT: Would you like to deposit any of it today?

Prue: No thanks. 

BT: Okay.

(Prue heads outside, gets back into her car, and drives off)

[Friday, 7:22 A.M.]

[Prue isll dll driving.]

(She opens her glove compartment, and some stuff falls out.)

Prue: Great.

 (A picture catches her eye. She picks it up.)

Prue: Mom...

(She stops the car. She takes a moment.)

~Childhood Flashback~

Little Prue: Mommy!

Patty: What is it, sweetie?

Little Prue: Andy keeps picking on me!

(Little Andy storms in)

Little Andy: Did not! 

L. Prue: Yes, you did too!

L. Andy: Diiiid not!

L. Prue: Did too!

Patty: Settle down, children. 

L. Prue: I'm not a children, I'm a big girl!

L. Andy: No, you're not!

L. Prue: Beee -- quiet.

Patty: Stop fighting. Andy, you go home. Prue and I have to leave right now. 

L. Andy: Yes, Ms. Halliwell.

L. Prue: I'm going to da lake! Ha-ha. (She sticks her tongue out)

Patty: Prue, stop that! That's wasn't very nice. Apologize to Andy.

L. Prue: Nnno! (She turns away and folds her arms)

Patty: (Sighs) Prue... Andy, you can come back tomorrow iu wau want, okay?

L. Andy: Yes, Ms. Halliwell.

Patty: Andytoldtold you that you can call me Patty.

L. Andy: No, it's disrespectful to call an adult by their first name. 

Patty: Oh, don't worry about that. I don't mind.

L. Andy: Sorry, Ms. Halliwell, but my parents' rules are my parents' rules. I gotta stick to them, or else I'd get in BIG trouble. Bye!

Patty: ...Bye.

L. Prue: Good, he's gone. Let's go, mommy!

Patty: Prue...

[Patty's car. Prue is looking out the window]

Patty: Are you okay? You haven't said anything for a while. Is something wrong?

(Prue remains silent)

Patty (Cont'd): Are you still mad at Andy? 

L. Prue: Mommy, why did daddy leave?

(Patty is caught off-guard)

Patty: ...Well--

L. Prue: Are you and grams going to leave, too?

Patty: Oh, Prue... No, your grams and I aren't going anywhere.

L. Prue: But daddy did.

Patty: (Sighs) I know, but sometimes things happen that are beyond our control. Your father and I stopped feeling the same way we did when we first met, but just because we don't love each-other anymore doesn't mean we stopped loving you or your sisters.

rue:rue: But why did you stop?

Patty: ...I don't know.  I wish I had an answer for you.

L. Prue: ...

[Flashback-time lapse. Patty's funeral]

(Grams is holding Phoebe, Prue and Piper are beside her, walking up to Patty's coffin. Grams tells Prue and Piper to go and say their good-byes. Prue and Piper stare at their mother. Piper starts praying, while Prue begins to cry)

L. Prue: Mommy?

(Prue leans over to touch her mother)

L. Prue: Mommy? Mommy, wake up!

(Prue tugs on Patty's clothes)

L. Prue (Cont'd): Mommy! Please wake up!

Grams: Prue! 

(Victor gets up and heads over to Prue. Grams kneels next to Prue and tries to comfort her)

Grams (Cont'd): Prue! Come here, baby.

L. Prue: No, mommy can't wake up! I need to wake her up! 

(Victor picks Prue up)

Victor: It's okay. It's okay. 

L. Prue: No, lemme go!

Victor: Prue. Prue, calm doPleaPlease calm down.

L. Prue: NO! I want my mommy!!

(Piper starts to cry)

Grams: Oh, Piper.

(Grams takes Piper into her arm)

L. Prue: (While looking at her mother she whispers) Mommy... Please come back...

~Flashback End~

Prue: (Takes a deep breathe) ...

(Prue looks up at the road ahead of her, and notices a green car that was hit by a truck. She pulls out a small notebook, and starts writing.)

[Friday, 7:25 A.M.]

(Prue holds up the notebook and reads.)

Prue: "Through my mind's eye, I realize... A little girl polarized, futures immobilized, show me how to bridge the gaff between futures stolen by witchcraft."

(Prue falls unconscious. She appean a n a dimly-lit occult store)

Lady: Astral projection?

Prue: Where am I?

Lady: You're in my shop.

Prue: Your shop?

Lady: How did you get in here? I have this place surrounded by a psychic shield. 

Prue: Whatever.

Lady: Unless... You must be a very powerful witch. Am I righh, ah, and there is no need to be rude. 

Prue: Look, I don't have a lot of time. I used a spell for something, and it brought me here. I'd like to know why.

Lady: Not to further fester a cliche', but there is a reason for everything, correct?

Prue: No.

Lady: I see. Maybe if you told me what your spell was for, I might be able to help you.

Prue: Well, it did bring me here... 

Lady: Let's make haste. It's dangerous to leave your body unattended for long.

[Fy, 7y, 7:40 A.M.]

(Prue astrals back into her body in the car. She starts up the car, and heads on her way to pick up the supplies she needs.)

[Friday, 8:22 A.M.]

(Prue is placing some things in her car. She hears someone walking up to her from behind, she readies to defend herself against an attacker.)

(Cole answers)

(Prue looks up)

Prue: Cole? What are you doing here?

(Cole answers)

Prue: Uh-huh. Right. Where's Phoebe? I know she's with you.

(Cole answers)

Prue: You're not lying to me, are you?

(Cole answers)

Prue: Well, that was 'kind' of her, considering she snuck out without telling us where she was going. She's lucky we found out she was with you, or else we might've spent all this time looking for her. Now, I have a very important thing to do right now, so when you go back to wherever she's hiding, tell her to come home, now.   

(Cole answers)

Prue: Good. Now excuse me.

(Prue gets inside her car and drives away)

~Flashback of Prue's 8th grade graduation~

(Backstage)

Grams: Look how beautiful your sister is, girls!

Teen Prue: Grams.

Little Phoebe: Yuck. I don't like that rope she's wearing.

Little Piper: That's robe, you dork.

(Phoebe kicks Piper on the leg)

L. Piper: OW! 

Grams: Girls, stop that! Behave.

L. Piper: The brat hit me!

L. Phoebe: No, I didn't. Don't tell lies, Piper. 

T. Prue: Would you two cut it out? Grams, why did you bring them?

Grams: Because it's a special day. You think I'm going to miss it finding a baby-sitter in this town?

T. Prue: You never let anyone else baby-sit them anyway.

Grams: ... I don't trust anyone else to look after them.

(Andy walks up to Prue)

Teen Andy: Prue!

L. Phoebe: Look, it's Prue's boyfriend.

T. Prue: Shut up, Phoebe. 

L. Phoebe: Ooooo! Grams!

T. Andy: Hello, Ms. Halliwell, you don't look a day over thirty.

Grams: Oh! (Chuckles) Why thank you, Andy! 

T. Andy: The ceremony is going to start soon, so I came to remind Prue.

Grams: Oh, of course! Come on girls.

(Grams and the girls leave to find seats)

T. Prue: Thanks for the save.

T. Andy: Don't mention it.

T. Prue: You still going on that road trip with your father?

T. Andy: Well, we were, but his vacation fell through because of some stuff that happened on the job.

(A beat)

Prue: Sorry.

T. Andy: No, it's okay. I could still hang out around here. Maybe we could do stuff together?

T. Prue: I don't know. Grams sure isn't shy with the sharing of responsibilities, if you know what I mean.

 T. Andy: Yeah, I do. But if you want, I could help you out with those.

T. Prue: That'd be great. Thanks.

T. Andy: Anytime.

(Audience applauses, the Principal starts speaking.)

T. Prue: Looks like it's time to say good-bye to junior high.

T. Andy: Yeah. I'd feel a lot better about it if I didn't hear so many stories of freshman hell.

T. Prue: Don't say freshm

T

T. Andy: Sorry, I forgot how you felt about going there.

T. Prue: Don't worry about it, I'll be fine.

T. Andy: You sure?

T. Prue: I've been through worse.

~Flashback end~ 

[Friday, 8:44 A.M.]

(Prue arrives at home, and begins setting up a ritual spell)

Prue: Piper? Phoebe? Anyone?

(She checks to see if she's alone. She is.)

Prue (Cont'd): ...Good.

(Attic, near the Book of Shadows. Prue has everything set up. She begins concentrating, and closes her eyes... In the background, someone is watching closely.)

[Friday, 9:03 A.M.]

(Prue collapses on the floor)


*Leo

[Friday, 7:00 A.M.]

[Scene: Abandoned building. Leo is there speaking with a woman.]

Leo: Why?

Woman: Because I had no choice.

Leo: There's always a choice, Lita.

Lita: Only whe's c's convenient, right?

Leo: That's not fair. I was following the rules. I'm sorry.LitaLita: It's too late, Wyatt.

Leo: It's never too late.

Lita: There's no going back.

Leo: Please, let me help you -- I can ease the pain--

Lita: Don't you dare use that trick on me again!

(She pulls out a Darklighter crossbow and aims it at his chest.)

Leo: Where did you get that?!

(A woman in dark clothing walks up to them)

Woman: From me.

Leo: Lita, listen to me, you don't want to take this any further! Stop before you lose everything--

Lita: I already have!

Leo: ...Everything you have left.

Woman:  him him, Lita. They'll be completely vulnerable without him.

Leo: What are you talking about?

Lita: Shut up, Leo. (To the woman) Oh I wouldn't worry about them... (Smirks) 

Leo: No... No, not my charges. Please! Take me and leave them alone! I'm the one you want.

Lita: ...

Leo: If you hurt one of them, I won't be able to protect you.

Lita: Protect me from what?

Leo: ...

Woman: From the Charmed Ones, perhaps?

Lita: (Sarcasm) You mean that trio of 'superior' bitches?

Woman: That's the one.

Lita: They're so full of themselves--I mean who do they think they are?

Leo: Don't speak that way about people you know nothing about.

Lita: Did I give you permission to speak?!

Leo: You've never even met them!

Lita: Word of mouth. Which is far more reliable than any Whitelighter...

Woman: Well, there is that unorthodox one I tried to kill a few weeks ago.

Lita: You never mentioned that to me before. Keeping secrets? You know how I feel about secrets! 

Woman: Don't worry, I only refrained from mentioned it because I thought it might irritate you to hear anything about Whitelighters at the time.

Lita: That's all I ever hear these days... 

Leo: You gave up, didn't you? You sold everything you and your family stood for and believed in just for petty revenge.

Lita: Petty?! 
 
(She hits Leo hard with the crossbow, Leo falls to his knees in pain)

Lita: How dare you insult my line!!!

(Leo hears Piper's call)

Leo: (Mumbles) ...Piper.

Woman: Why are you wasting time? Just kilm alm already!

Lita: I don't like this attitude you're giving me, Trista!

Trista: I wouldn't give you that, if you stopped wasting time!

Lita: You ungrateful bitch! I help you get the Whitelighter of the Charmed Ones, and this is how you show your appreciation?!

(Leo uses this chance to orb out)

Lita (Cont'd): NO!! 

Trista: (Sighs) You see?

Lita: This is your fault!

Trista: Maybe if you hadn't dawdled for so long, we wouldn't be having this argument rinow!now!

Lita: UGH!! I lost my chance! Now he won't come near me alone, again.

Trista: Can we try it my way this time?

Lita: ...Whatever you say. I just want this over with.

Trista: You have to promise me you won't blow it again.

Lita: I won't!

Trista: Let's go.

[Friday, 8:45 A.M.]

(Lita's hotel room. Lita is looking through her spell book.)

(Trista walks in)

Trista: You ready?

Lita: No.

(Leo orbs in)

Lita: !!!

Leo: You didn't think I'd let you hurt anyone else?

Trista: Well, this is unexpected...

Piper: (From behind Leo) Leo? What's going on? Who are these people?

Leo: Piper!? What are you doing hear?

Piper: I hitched a ride on your orb. Did you really think I was a lea let you get away again?

Lita: Who the hell is this?

Piper: (Looks over at Lita) Ex-cuse me? I'm talking to my husband! Wait, Leo, who are these people?!

Leo: Piper, you shouldn't have come along. This is none of your business.

Piper: What?!

(Trista gestures to Lita to pick up the DL crossbow)

Leo: Piper, not now! Get out of here!

Piper: Hey!

(Lita fires an arrow at Leo)

Piper: LEO!

(Piper freezes it. Leo and Trista are frozen too.)

Lita: (Staring at the frozen arrow) Well...

Piper: Wait, why aren't you frozen?!

Lita: Beats me. But thanks for giving me an easy target.

(Lita aims to fire again)

Piper: Oh no you don't! Try it, and lose your arms!

Lita: Ha.

Piper: You may not freeze, little-miss-whatever-you-are, but I'm sure you'll blow up.

(Piper snatches the frozen arrow)

Lita: Really? Ah, one of the Charmed Ones. "Piper", isn't it? Wait a minute, what are you doing here??

Piper: Who are you? And what are you doing with Leo?

Lita: So he's never told you? Ha ha. Isn't he worthless?

Piper: Hey! Don't talk about him that way! You obviously don't know him very .

.

Lita: (Laughs) Please. You're so naive... Your faith hasn't beeokenoken yet, but one day it will, and you may be in my place...

Piper: What?

Lita: Never mind.

(Leo and Trista unfreeze) 

Leo: Get out of here, Piper! 

Trista: What happened to arr arrow? How did you people move a couple of inches so fast?

Lita: She froze you in time, that's why.

Trista: So that's why her hair is on the left now...

Leo: Lita.

Lita: (She points the crossbow at Leo) 'Til the last, Wyatt.

(Lita and Trista leave)

Piper: Leo, what is going on??

Leo: Not now, Piper!

Piper: What is it? What's wrong?

Leo: This is none of your business! Stay out of it! (Sighs) This is the last time I tell you.

Piper: You're threatening me??

Leo: No -- just stay out of it... please.

Piper: Why won't you tell me? What, you don't trust me?

Leo: Stop.

Piper: Leo... you're scaring me.

(Leo pulls Piper into his arms and orbs out.)

[Friday, 9:05 A.M.]

(Halliwell Manor. Piper and Leo orb in)

Leo: Stay here, I have to go.

Piper: No. I won't let you go until we talk about this.

Leo: ...

Piper: If someone is trying to hurt you, let me and my sisters help.

Leo: This isn't your battle.

Piper: What's that supposed to mean? My family's battles will always be mine. That's the way it's always going to be. 

Leo: ...You don't understand.

Piper: Then explain it.

Leo: I-I can't.

Piper: Look, if she's evil and trying to hurt people, then I'll help you stop her. But you have to promise me you'll open up about it later. Can you do that?

(A beat)

Leo: (Nods head) Okay. 

Piper: Good. Now, let's check in the BOS.

(Attic. Piper and Leo walk id sed see Prue on the floor, and the attic in a mess)

Piper: PRUE!!!

(She kneels next to Prue's body and checks her pulse)

Leo: Is she?

Piper: She's alive!

(Leo starts to heal Prue)

Piper: Why isn't she waking up?

Leo: ...She isn't hurt. She's unconscious.

(Piper tries to wake her up, but nothing.)

Piper: What the hell happened?! I just talked to her earlier this morning, and she was fine!

Leo: (While looking at the broken window) There was an attack... 

Piper: But if there was, how is she alive? Wouldn't they have killed her or something?

Leo: I don't know. Maybe Phoebe and Paige...

Piper: Find them, Leo! Hurry!

(Leo hears Phoebe's call)

Leo: I hear Phoebe!

Piper: Go!

Leo: Be careful.

(Leo orbs out)

Piper: (While holding Prue) Everything is going to be all right, Prue. Just hang in there. We'll find the sick bastard that did this to you. 


*Warlock

[Friday, 6:30 A.M.]

[Scene: Outside Manor.]

(Warlock sends her crystal through the window. It sneaks up to Prue's room and passes over her. It then heads to Piper's room, and does the same to her. It returns back to Warlock.)

Warlock: The third one is missing.

(The crystal flashes)

Warlock (Cont'd): With Belthazor? 

[Friday, 6:50 A.M.]

(Warlock blinks inside Phoebe and Cole's hotel room. Phoebe and Cole are still asleep)

Warlock: (Whispers) Go.

(The crystal passes over Phoebe, but passes over Cole in the process. The crystal returns to Warlock's hands)

Warlock: (To the crystal) Don't worry... he's a demon. Our work here, is done. Now we wait until the time is right.

(Warlock blinks out)

(Cole wakes up)

[Friday, 8:50 A.M.]

(Warlock blinks inside the manor attic. She walks to the Book of Shadows, and holds her hands above it while chanting. She hears someone walking up the stairs and hides. She watches as Prue performs a ritual and collapses to the floor. slowslowly walks back to the BOS, and continues her previous actions until a page flies out of it and into the air. She catches it, and burns it.)

[Friday, 9:03 A.M.]

(Paige walks into the attic)

*All

[Friday, 9:05 A.M.]

[Scene: Docks.]

(Raynor crawls onto the shore. His body has claw marks all over.)

Raynor: All for a witch.

(He shimmers out)

(Cut to somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Phoebe is trying to stay afloat.)

Phoebe: Leo! Leo! 

(She sees something approaching her in the water)

Phoebe (Cont'd): What's that? 

(It dives under the water. She tries to swim away from it, but it grabs her)

Phoebe (Cont'd): Whoa!! Let go!

(Belthazor rises up from under the water)

Phoebe (Cont'd): Ahhh!! Oh, Cole! It's you!

(Belthazor transform back into Cole)

Cole: Phoe...be...

(Cole sinks under)

Phoebe: No!!

(Phoebe grabs him and pulls him up)

Cole: I'm... sorry. 

Phoebe: You're hurt.

Cole: I thought I lost you.

Phoebe: Why didn't you just shimmer to me?

Cole: I did. I... just couldn't shimm...er any further without... wasting the rest of my strength. ...Felt like I was swimming forever. I'm so happy that I found you before I...

Phoebe: Before you what? Cole?

Cole: I'm dying. Those demons got me bad.

Phoebe: You'll be okay. Just hold on. I called for Leo.

Cole: Phoebe, Listen. I think you and your sisters are under an attack. 

Phoebe: What?

Cole: Something Ray...nor said... reminded me of a story I heard a few years back, about a being that has a muse trapped inside it's crystal ball... 

Phoebe: A muse? A souof iof inspiration?

Cole: Yes. Only this one had a curse of death placed on it... Whoever... Whoever it comes into contact with will be inspired to do things that will doom their fate. Meaning, death or great loss and tragedy... Our fate... I am going to die. 

Phoebe: No... No, I don't accept that. We can make it. If Leo heard me, he should get here soon, and then he can heal your human half.

Cole: ...He won't make it... in time. This path guarantees it.

Phoebe: Cole, you're scaring me.

Cole: I'm sorry. I don't want the last thing you remember about me to be fear.

(Cole sinks a bit, but Phoebe pulls him up again)

Cole (Cont'd): Let me go. I don't want you to die with me. This should stay my fate only. You... have to... let me... go.  

Phoebe: I'll never let go.

Cole: Yes, you can... You can try to fight your fate. Grow old, have children, win the war, and die an old lady, warm in your bed... 

Phoebe: Cole, stop. If you really loved me, you'd fight to stay here.

Cole: ...Don't say that, Phoebe. Now, listen: I want you to use me as a life preserver.

Phoebe: What?! 

Cole: Find something to trap the air inside me, and use my body to rest yours. It will buy you some time...

Phoebe: I'm not going to do that!

Cole: Phoebe...

Phoebe: No! If all you're going to do is give up, then just stop talking. I'll find another way to save the both of us.

Cole: No, Phoebe.

Phoebe: Stop talking... please!

Cole: ...Try to levitate.

Phoebe: I did. It didn't work. I don't know if it's because I don't have anything to use to boost me up, or if I can do it in the water, but I just don't know how yet. 

Cole: Let me go, and try.

Phoebe: Stop.

Cole: The levitation may be your only chance... I don't think my idea will work.

(Cole sinks some more)

Phoebe: Cole!!

Cole: I.. love you.

(Cole slips through Phoebe's arms and sinks under water)

Phoebe: COLE!!!

(Phoebe dives under to bring him back up. She grabs him, and starts swimming back up to the surface. A bright light shines above her. She reaches the surface.)

Leo: (From behind her) Phoebe!!

Phoebe: (She looks over her shoulder) Leo!

(Leo grabs Phoebe and Cole, and orbs out)

(Cut back to the manor attic. Leo returns with Phoebe and Cole.)

Piper: (Looks up) Phoebe!

Phoebe: Leo, hurry!!

(Leo looks at Cole, and starts to heal him.)

Piper: What happened??

(Cole's human half is healed. Cole wakes up.)

Cole: Aah!

Leo: Take it easy.

Phoebe: (Sigh of relief) (To Cole) See? I told you we'd make it! 

Cole: You shouldn't have done that, Phoebe...

Phoebe: ...?

Piper: Phoebe, I think Prue is in a coma.

Phoebe: What?!

Leo: You tried everything?

Piper: Of course! ...Sorry.

Leo: It's okay. You don't have to apologize. I deserve it.

Piper: Just help me save my sister!

Leo: Phoebe.

Phoebe: Cole, rest here.

Cole: Go save her.

Phoebe: ...

Piper: I checked the BOS, but I couldn't find anything to help.

Cole: Something was here, I can sense it. 

Phoebe: A demon?

Cole: I don't know. It mightbeenbeen the thing I told you about.

Leo: It looks like their was a struggle. But Prue is lying there unconscious... 

Phoebe: Something's missing.

Piper: What?

Cole: Try a premonition.

Phoebe: Right! Okay, okay... 

(She touches Prue and concentrates)


-Premonition-

(She sees Prue setting up a ritual spell and passing out. She sees Warlock removing a page from the BOS. She then sees Warlock and Paige fighting and crashing through the window. She then sees Paige die, and the Warlock with a woman)

-Premonition end-

Phoebe: I saw. Leo, where's Paige?

Leo: Paige? What did you see?

(Phoebe checks through the BOS for the Warlock, but she can't find it)

Phoebe: It's not here. We have to hurry, Leo. I'll explain it on the way.

Leo: Piper.

Piper: Go, Leo.

Phoebe: Paige was fighting a Warlock here, and orbed herself with it; Prue was performing some type of ritual, which is probably what made her pass out. Piper, check anything you can on astral projection and the astral plane. I think that could be where she's at. The BOS has a spell, I think.

Leo: I found Paige's location. 

Phoebe: Good. Let's go.

(Leo orbs out with Phoebe)

Piper: Checks through the BOS for the spell.

(Scene: An mysterious, unknown plane. Prue is there. A man walks up to her.)

Man: Welcome.

Prue: I made it?

Man: Yes. 

Prue: Where is this?

Man: A plane that is forbidden to those without the power of Astral Projection. You've come to make an offer, correct?

Prue: Yes.

Man: What is it?

Prue: ...My mother. I want her life restored.

Man: I see... Do you understand the price?

Prue: Yes. I also want my first love included.

Man: That is a problem. An eye for an eye; you're life is only worth one.

Prue: But I'm a Charmed One. My power should be enough to balance it out.

Man: I'm sorry, but even if that were true, your mother is still a witch. It would still not be enough.

P The Then just bring her back without her power.

Man: I cannot do that. Her power cannot be separated from her in the process. She will be returned as is, or was. You can only chose one.

Prue: No. No deal. I want them both back.

Man: Again, I cannot do anything about that. You must decide what you'll do. Think about it.

Prue: ...

(Cut back to Piper in the attic, searching for the spell)

Piper: Here it is.

(Piper begins setting up the spell)

(Cut to an abandoned building. Leo and Phoebe orb in)

Leo: Wait a minute... this place, it--

denldenly the Warlock comes crashing down from the roof to the floor in front of Leo and Phoebe.)

Phoebe: Whoa!

(Paige orbs in)

Paige: Bitch.

Leo: Paige!

Paige: Leo? Phoebe? What do you two want?

Phoebe: To help! I saw what happened in a prem'. Are you okay?

Paige: Yeah, thanks for caring. (Looks at Leo)

Leo: ?

(Warlock blinks out)

Paige: Hey!! (Turns to them) (Sarcasm) Thanks a lot!

Leo: (Notices Paige's wounds) You're hurt.

Paige: Duh. 

Leo: Here, let me--

Paige: (Slaps his hands away) Don't touch me.

Leo: Paige.

Phoebe: Paige, what's wrong?

Paige: Nothing.

(She orbs out)

Phoebe: Hey! Paige? What is up with that girl? She didn't even give us a chance to explain where we've--wait, Leo, where were you and Piper?

Leo: I was away, and Piper was--I don't know what she was doing. But she's been with me for the last hour or so.

Phoebe: Cole. The muse. That demon or warlock had a crystal. She has to be the one Cole warned me about.

Leo: What are you talking about?

Phoebe: I'll explain it back at the manor.

(Leo orbs out with Phoebe)

(Cut back to the manor attic. Piper is ready.)

Piper: "Writher my love, wherever you be, through time and space, take my heart near to thee."

(Piper collapses)

Cole: P-Piper?

(Cut to the Forbidden plane. Piper's astral self appears)

Man: Halt! How did you get here? You will be punished.

Prue: Piper!

Man: You know her?

Prue: Yes.

Man: Very well. I'll give you a brief moment to send her back. 

Piper: Prue? What's this place? What are you doing here??

Prue: Piper, listen to me: Go home!

Piper: What?!

Prue: Just go!

Piper: I'm not leaving without you!

Man: If she stays any longer, I will have to punish her.

Prue: NO! Just wait! Piper, this isn't a place for you -- you have to go.

Piper: Read my lips: I am not leaving without you! Understand?

 I c I cannot wait any longer.

Prue: Piper, please! You don't understand what's happening to me! LEAVE!

Piper: ...

(Cut back to the attic. Piper returns to her body)

Piper: (Gasps) Oh god. 

(Cut to the Forbidden plane.)

Man: She's lucky.

Prue: You bastard.

Man: I was only following the rules.

Prue: By trying to punish my sister for trying to find me?

Man: I'll remind you that you're here for a reason. I think you'd best remember that.

Prue: ... (Sighs) 

Man: Have you made your choice?

Prue: ... I have.

Man: Who will it be?

(Prue returns back to her body)

Prue: (Breathes) Piper?

Piper: Prue?!

(She hugs Prue tight.)

Prue: ...

(Cole stares at Prue's dull expression)

(Leo orbs in with Phoebe)

Phoebe: Prue! Piper, you found her!

Prue: Phoebe...

Phoebe: Phew. Busy morning, huh? (Smiles)

(Leo orbs out)

(Cut to Paige's house. The doorbell rings. Paige answers it. It's Leo.)

Paige: Gimme a break.

Leo: Paige, can we talk?

Paige: What for?

Leo: Did you try to call for me today? 

Paige: (Sarcasm) Whatever gave you that idea?

Leo: Just a feeling.

Paige: Like, guilt?

Leo: No. Remember that you can't call on me anymore because I'm not your Whitelighter. I'm not allowed to... break the rules.

Paige: Sure. (Sarcasm) We'll pretend like you didn't answer me those times when I found out that I was half Whitelir. Sr. So, Where's my WL, then?

Leo: Paige. If it makes you feel any better, I wasn't able to help your sisters when they needed me either. I have things that are getting in the way of my ability to protect my charges... If it helps, I apologize for not hearing you. I wasn't open like I'm supposed to be, and I can't make that mistake again. 

Paige: (She folds her arms) ...

Leo: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to discuss something withwifewife. You'll get your own Whitelighter soon. I'll make sure. But if you need me, I'll come.

Paige: Don't jeopardize your position. I'll just avoid the outside world as much as possible.

Leo: Paige. I really am sorry.

Paige: And I forgive you. Now you can go. Um, by the way: why didn't you orb inside?

Leo: Because you have some type of barrier protecting this house.

Paige: So it works. 

Leo: ...

(Leo orbs out)

Paige: Not bad, Ana.

(Paige walks into the living room. Ana is there.)

Ana: Give me your hand, Paige.

Paige: Hyou you go.

(Ana removes the curse on Paige. The ring reappears on Paige's finger. Ana removes it.)

Paige: Cool. A souvenir from my first warlock.

Ana: I'll put it somewhere safe.

Paige: You do that.

Ana: Ask your sisters for help against the warlock this ring belonged to.

Paige: Yeah. What about that other one?

Ana: I'll see what I can find out.

Paige: Good, 'cause I really want her ass dead.

Ana: I should remind you not to be that reckless ever again. Your life's much too precious to throw it away now.

Paige: Yeah, yeah. Cry me a river in Egypt, mummy.

Ana: ...

Paige: (Rolls eyes) It's a joke! You're so intense. 

(Cut to the manor. Prue is walking downstairs, while Piper is following her.)

Piper: Prue. Prue! Stop walking away from me!

Prue: Stop following me, Piper.

Piper: I will when you tell me what the hell you were doing there!

Prue: I'm not a little girl anymore. I don't need you to baby me. 

Piper: Well, I don't know. By the way you're acting, I'd say you were.

Prue: L I w I was going to do something drastic, but I changed my mind, okay? You satisfied?

Piper: Don't you understand how dangerous that was to do without your sisters around? If it weren't for Paige, you might've...

Prue: Yeah, I'll send her a fruit basket.

Piper: Where are you going?

Prue: To work.

(Prue walks towards the door.)

Piper: What?! After everything that's--oh, never mind, fine. Go ahead. Just get in your car, and forget everything that happened yesterday.

(Prue stops, and looks at Piper)

Prue: I need to get my mind off things. Work will help. Please understand.

Piper: Leave your cell phone on until you get home, and don't complain when I call you every five minutes.

Prue: Piper.

Piper: Fine! Every hour.

Prue: Bye.

(Prue leaves) 

(Cut to Phoebe's room. Cole is lying on her bed resting. Phoebe walks in.)

Phoebe: Hey. Still brooding?

Cole: Not with this sunshine.

Phoebe: Oh.

(Phoebe closes the the curtains)

Cole: Thanks. I feel darker already.

Phoebe: About the Warlock: Looks like she made off with the spell to get rid of her.

Cole: I'll help you kill her. Some payback would be nice.

Pho You You're not the only one who wants some.

Cole: ...

Phoebe: Don't worry about fate. We've changed ours plenty of times. I don't get premonitions for nothing! Hee.

(Cut to the kitchen. Piper is there. Leo orbs in.)

Leo: Piper.

Piper: ...Leo.

Leo: About earlier--

Piper: Who were they?

Leo: About Phoebe and me.

Piper: ...That too.

Leo: I don't know why you think that about us. I have nothing going on with Phoebe.

Piper: Why should I believe you? I know that you have your secrets, but it seems like you have way more than I expected. And, I don't like it very much. I shouldn't have to remind you what people in love, share.

Leo: I've barely spent any time with Phoebe recently, and when I did, it was with you guys too.

Piper: Well, I was here, Leo. I was here when you and Phoebe had your little secret 'talk'.

Leo: What secret talk? Where?

Piper: The back door. You orbed in with Phoebe, and she said, and I quote: "Don't worry, I won't tell Piper about US." And you said something about her keeping her promise. Explain away.

Leo: It was a misunderstanding, Piper. We were talking about me sneaking her out when you guys wanted to talk to her. She didn't feel right about some things, so she asked me to help her out until she was ready. The promise was her not telling you about what I did, so that you wouldn't get mad at me before I left. But I guess that doesn't matter now. 

Piper: So I'm supposed to accept that as the truth?

Leo: Yes.

Piper: If you tell me the truth about who those women were, I'll forgive you.

Leo: Piper...

Piper: What?

Leo: I can't do that.

Piper: Why?

Leo: I can't. Not right now. Give me some time.

Piper: Time?

Leo: Yeah.

Piper: Alright. You have some time. Our 'thing' will be postponed until you're ready.

Leo: Thank you.

Piper: (Sighs) ...

(Leo walks up to Piper and holds her in his arms)

Leo: I love you, Piper.

(Leo lets go)

Leo: I have to go.

(Leo orbs out)

Piper: (Whispers) I love you, too.

[Scene: Outside Manor. Late afternoon. Phoebe, returning from the store, is walking up the steps to her house. She notices a cat in the bushes near her.]

Phoebe: Kit? Is that you? 

Kit: ...Meow.

Phoebe: Oh, honey where have you been? (She picks Kit up)

Kit: MEOW.

Phoebe: Huh? What's wrong?

Kit: Me-ow.

Phoebe: What? You don't want me to hold you? Fine. (She puts Kit down)

(Kit heads down the steps, turns to look at Phoebe, and meows again)

Phoebe: What is it? 

(Kit walks down the street)

Phoebe: Kit! Wait! 

(She follows)

Phoebe (Cont'd): Hey, slow down. I don't crawl on all-fours.

Kit: ...

(Kit stops in front of a house similar to the manor. Kit hops up onto the window, and looks inside.)

Phoebe: Whose house is this? Is this where you've been staying?

(Phoebe walks up the steps and leans over to the window.)

Phoebe: ...Who's that? (She's hit by a premonition and recognizes it as the one she had three days ago.) Oooh. There's the gir...um, I mean woman. (The woman inside begins to turn towards the window, but Phoebe ducks just in time.) Whoa. I better get my butt back home. 

(Phoebe checks the woman's mailbox to find her name, but someone opens the door before she can react.)

Phoebe: Oh. Um. Heh. Huh? Paige?!

Paige: Phoebe?! How did you? What are you doing with our mail?

Phoebe: Oh! Sorry! It's a long story. I didn't know you lived here. I was trying to find out the name of that woman inside.

Paige: You mean Anastasia?

Phoebe: So that's her name, huh? And this is where you live?

Paige: Um, yes.

Phoebe: So... Who's Anastasia? You're mom?

Paige: Yeah right. (Sighs) You got a premonition of this place, didn't you?

Phoebe: Well...

Paige: Was there anything special in it?

Phoebe: Not really.

Paige: Well then, if it's not business, then I have to go to work.

Phoebe: You have a job?

Paige: Yeah. What makes you think I don't?

Phoebe: Nothing. I just thought you were in school still.

Paige: I have to go. Sorry I couldn't invite you inside.

Phoebe: Can I meet this "Anastasia"?

Paige: She's very busy right now, so it'll have to wait.

Phoebe: Wait a minute. She's the one you mentioned when we first met, right?

Paige: Yes.

Phoebe: Well, why not invite her over to the manor for dinner one of these days? We'd like to know more about you and the people in your life, Paige.

Paige: Sure. I gotta go. Oh, I wanted to talk to you about something, but it'll have to wait.

Phoebe: Okay. Glad you're doing fine. See ya later.

(Paige walks to her car and drives away.) 

Phoebe: Kit? (Looks left and right) Where did you go?

(Phoebe walks down the steps and notices Kit running ban thn the direction of the manor.) 

[Scene: Manor. Evening. Prue arrives home. Phoebe is in the living room.]

Phoebe: Prue.

Prue: Phoebe?

Phoebe: Hey.

Prue: I wanted to ask why you didn't call to let us know you're okay?

Phoebe: Well, things were crazy and... (Sigh) Forget about that. I have some bad news.

Prue: What?

Phoebe: My premonitions. Remember the girl we saw a few days ago?

Prue: Uh, yeah.

Phoebe: With all the stuff going on, like Paige, the whole fury-fiesta and this mused-up morning, we--I mean, I forgot my prems and may have lost an innocent...

Prue: Wait. Oh god. That man who had a fury with him had to have been the same man in your premonition.

Phoebe: Yeah. I called Darryl and he told me that there was a man who looked like his guts were clawed out...

Prue: ...Have you told Piper yet?

Phoebe: No.

Prue: Better not tell her now. I think something came up with Leo.

Phoebe: Alright. Darryl said he would be over here at the end of his shift to uss uss the details. (Sits down on the couch)

Prue: What about the other premonition? The one with the girl?

Phoebe: Well, I found out that it's Paige's house. I think the woman is the fellow witch she told us about.

Prue: How did you find it?

Phoebe: Kit.

Prue: Kit?

(Kit jumps on the couch Phoebe in sitting on. Kit looks at Prue.)

Prue: Hey. Where have you been all this time? 

Kit: Meow?

Prue: (Picks up Kit and pets her) Hey you! Don't you go running away anymore, okay?

Kit: ...

Phoebe: ?

Prue: What?

Phoebe: Nothing. Prue, I'm sorry about running out yesterday. That dream was just so real that I freaked.

Prue: It's all right, Phoebe. Being cautious is fine. I think we both can use a little more of that from now on.

Phoebe: Is this the same Prue who stood up to death?

Prue: Nope.

Phoebe: Huh? Should I start worrying again?

Prue: You know what I mean. Yesterday was like a new beginning for me and Piper(Pau(Pauses) I wish that dream didn't get in the way of us solving our specific issues.

Phoebe: We don't need a spell for that. Unless, of course it's the sequel to yesterday. 

Prue: ...Cave girls... (Shudders)

[Scene: Lita's place.]

(Warlock blinks in)

Warlock: I achieved my purpose.

Lita: No, you didn't.

Warlock: Yes... I have. I have no reason to remain here. Do not summon me again!

(Warlock fades away)

(Trista walks in)

Trista: You shouldn't have pissed her off. But cheer up, you could only summon her once, and she did what you wanted.

Lita: No, she didn't. She failed... None of them died. Fate alone, has a tendency to side with those with power, and Leo has that.

Trista: Then all you have to do is--

(Trista hands her a small object)

Trista (Cont'd): --Take it away.
