"Good morning, my love!" she said
to her beau of the last two
months.
"Hi, Phee. Morning to you, too." said Tom smiling at his love.
"Did you ever think you'd be this
happy? I never thought I'd
find someone like you!" said Phoebe
dreamily.
"You are one of kind. I love you,
my dearest darling." said Tom
stroking her hair.
"The same here, but I have to get
going. Early day at school."
said Pheebs as she jumped out of
bed and dressed. She had been
half living at Tom's apartment
for two weeks. And most of her
time with her sisters had been
with magical problems.
She dressed, grabbed her books and
went onto the kitchen.
Pouring herself a cup of the thick
strong European tea
that she had first despised she
took a sip.
"That's awfully good. Must grow
on me, or maybe it's the
owner. Bye, sweetie. See you, tonight!"
cried Pheebs as she
left the apartment.
At Halliwell Manor, Prue came down
while Leo and Piper were
finishing breakfast.
"Late night, Prue?" Piper asked picking up the dishes.
"No, it's just that Phoebe running
around in the morning usually
wakes me. The Manor is so quiet
without her. She must make half
the noise in the house." explained
Prue grabbing a cup of coffee.
"I am just glad that Phoebe has
a steady guy like my fellow."
said Piper giving Leo a quick peck.
"Come here, Piper." called out Leo and he got a better one.
"So what that make me?" asked Prue a little jokingly.
"An old maid! No, you'll still find
someone." replied Piper
teasing Prue.
"Not that I'm unhappy with my life,
but at least I was engaged
at one time." said Prue.
"Well, we may be having a wedding
someday soon!" replied Piper
smiling cutely.
"WHAT!" cried Prue standing up.
"Piper, we still have a lot of plans.
She is a little over
confident. I have to clear everything
first. But if all things
work out, that would make me the
happiest white lighter of them
all." said Leo looking deep into
Piper's eyes.
"Same here. Except for the white
lighter part!" said Piper teasing him.
"And now I have to leave. Early
date with an estimator. The
stage still needs more work before
the next benefit. So long,
lover. Bye, Prue."
"Bye," replied Prue and Leo.
"So is it really that serious?í said Prue grinning form ear to ear.
"We're not engaged. Just checking on our options and things." replied Leo.
"If you want my opinion. I say go for it." said Prue smiling.
"Sure. Opps. I got to run!" said Leo as he orbed out.
"Now this place is REAL quiet!"
said Prue thinking that lots of things
were changing around there.
At school during lunch, Pheebs sat down with her friend Fern for a quick lunch.
"Sociology test tomorrow. I have
got to study hard. It's not easy going
back after three years. The kids
are so young!" said Pheebs munching on a pork chop.
"Like me? Hey, Phoebe. I'm only four years younger than you!" replied Fern kidding a bit.
"Well, between school and Tom and
well, things to do with my sisters,
I just don't feel as young as I
was the first time in school. Boy, this
is good." exclaimed Pheebs talking
wither mouth half full.
"Pork chops, chicken and beef stew?
I though you were going vegetarian
earlier this month?" asked Fern.
"It just looked good today. You want to come over and meet Tom tonight?" asked Pheebs.
"I've got a biology mid-term. Sorry Phoebe. Maybe another time." said Fern getting up to leave.
"OK. See you later. Got to finish
this stuff. Bye." waved Pheebs taking another bite.
That night after studying for her
test, Phoebe and Tom snuggled down
and ended up in bed early.
"I have got to go home tomorrow,
Tom. I haven't seen my sisters
in three days." said Pheebs looking
deep into his eyes.
"Must you? All right. We'll go over
tomorrow." said Tom
reluctantly.
"Hey, I need to look over chapter
eleven again." said Pheebs
as she went back into the living
room.
While studying, Pheebs down her
second cup of tea while Tom
came over and stroked her hair.
Pheebs reached up and patted
his hand.
"You don't know how much I love
women with blue eye and blonde
hair." Tom barely said barely over
a whisper.
"What's that, darling?" asked Pheebs
obviously distracted
by her studying.
"Nothing darling. Come to bed soon." said Tom.
Pheebs did much later.
In the morning Pheebs rolled over
feeling a little different.
She stood up and brushed her hair
back. It seemed much thicker
than usual. She went onto the bathroom
and looked in the mirror.
She saw herself, but quite a bit
differently. Her hair was much thicker and much longer and it was a beautiful
shade of blonde.
It had not been dyed. It was a
completely different head of hair.
Looking closer she saw her whole
complexion was lighter. Not
sickly paler, but pure and silky
that complemented her now
light blue eyes. They were the
purest shade of sky-blue.
"AHH!" cried out Pheebs in terror.
Tom came running in. When he saw
her he broke out in the biggest
smile.
"Darling, you look lovely!" he said hugging her.
"Uh, you did this to me?" asked Pheebs. "Why?"
"You are so much more lovely now.
Now I can love you even more!"
he said trying to hold her again.
Pheebs reeled backwards.
She headed for the front door, but it wouldn't open. She ran to the window and found only a solid wall.
"Where are we?" said Pheebs now terrified.
"Not far. Just in a cellar, somewhere. You and I will be so happy together." he mused smiling.
"Uh, who are you?" asked Phoebe
now constantly playing with her
extra long golden locks.
"Just a warlock who loves you very
very much." he said looking at
her tenderly.
"NOOO!" cried Pheebs as she lost
consciousness.
"I've tried Tom's number four times
and no one is answering." said
Prue worried.
"Maybe the love birds took a quick
trip out of town. Pheebs has
really fallen hard with this one."
said Piper. "I think it's great!"
"But we've been lucky that nothing
evil had shown up in a week. Our
luck has got to go sour and I need
to know where the last of the Charmed Ones is." said Prue. "I'm going over
to this place."
"Pick us up some cheddar cheese
while you're out. And a loaf of white
bread." asked Piper.
"Anything else?" said Prue cocking
an eyebrow and putting her hands
on her hips.
"Yea. Give Pheebs my love." said Piper smiling sweetly.
"Of course." said Prue relieved
that the grocery list didn't get any
longer.
At Mockingbird Court, a fashionable
set of garden apartments from the sixties, Prue easily found apartment
4E. She had only been there once,
but it had been a pleasant visit.
Tom had brought out even more of the
drive and ambition that Pheebs
had been showing since she returned to
school. When reaching the apartment,
she found the door unlocked. Inside it was a mess. The apartment looked
like it hadn't been lived in a year. It needed painting and trash was thrown
about the floor.
"Phoebe!" thought Prue. Then she
cried out, "PHOEBE! WHERE ARE YOU?"
Phoebe woke up after being unconscious
most of the day. She rolled
over and her blonde hair fell in
her face. Quickly she remembered
what had happened and brushed her
hair from her face. She saw a
strange hand with extra thin nimble
fingers and long natural red
fingernails. What else was new,
she thought. She stood up and the bed
seemed much lower. Running in the
bathroom she saw a stranger in the
mirror. She must have been five
ten with long features in her face, beautiful long legs, a very thin waist
and breasts much fuller
than Phoebe's amble frame.
"What is going on here?" she said
in an unaccustomed voice with a hint
of an accent.
"Phoebe. You're awake my love." said Tom sweetly.
"How, why?" asked Pheebs throwing out her long arms at him in confusion.
"How? My warlock powers include glamorizing others. Why? Because I love you and I want us to be together." he said trying to hold her.
"If you love me, you'll let me go if I want to go." pleaded Pheebs.
"No, my love. We were meant to be
together. You and me forever!"
he said getting closer.
"Who do you love? Me or that woman?"
said Pheebs pointing to the
mirror.
"You my darling. You are both of them. That beautiful woman you see and that firey Halliwell personality. I've been in love with you for a long time. Now come to me." he said putting his arms out.
"No," said Pheebs curling up in the corner.
"Come to me, my darling." he said
as she stood up and did start to kiss
him. First almost mechanically
and then with great passion. She forgot all about her pain and loss.
"The Elders don't know what happened to her." explained Leo.
"And she is our second sight, so we're blind." said Piper.
"And using the spirit stone we only
found us. Where could she be?"
wondered Prue.
"I don't think she's dead. We would
have felt something." said Leo
holding onto Piper.
"We'll just have to keep hoping and praying." said Prue.
"I just hope we CAN find her." said
Piper looking very worried.
In the morning Phoebe woke up in
his arms and then jumped out of
bed. She put on her robe that was
way too short for her. All in all she
looked more lie a supermodel than
the little fireball of a witch she had become over the last two years.
During the night she had a premonition that her sisters were trying to
find her, but since she didn't know where she was, she couldn't help them.
In the kitchen she
fixed a continental breakfast,
for she hadn't eaten since yesterday. Looking at her food she realized
it wasn't what she normally ate, but it was exactly what she wanted. Her
tastes seemed to have shifted as much as her physical features. Pheebs
wondered how far it would be going.
Tom went out through the same door
that Phoebe could not budge. She
was determined to escape from her
captor. During the morning she
dressed in some clothes that had
even laid out for her, for nothing she owned fit. She spent the morning
fussing with her hair and doing her nails. Neither task that usually worried
Phoebe Halliwell. When done she wondered around the apartment and then
sat at the piano playing something from Listz. She stood up in horror.
"I don't play the piano!" she exclaimed her faced greatly distorted.
She did go and put on her sexiest
negligee, short as it was and met
him at the door. Being much taller
she could grab him and throw him to the floor.
"If this is our life together, let's make the most of it." she said trying to distract him.
"Oh Phee, I knew you would come around." as he grabbed her and stroked her hair.
Pheebs cooperated for about thirty
seconds and pained him where it counted. She grabbed her coat and ran from
the room. Running down the
hall of the basement she at first
couldn't find the exit. Then a door opened she tried and she ran up the
stairs and found herself in the street. She pulled the coat around her
and started walking. It was clearly still San Francisco, but she didn't
know where. No sign of her captor so she just kept walking. Phoebe was
getting many more glances than usual. Her appearance was obviously pleasing
to everyone she saw.
After a dozen blocks she saw a
police station and ran it.
Piper was busy behind the bar playing at serving drinks. She just wasn't completely there while worrying about Phoebe.
"Piper, phone," called out Paul.
"Hello!" she answered slightly bored.
"This is Detective Wilson at the
16th precinct. I have a woman
here who claims to be your sister."
said the Detective.
"What? Phoebe is there? I'll be right over!" said Piper hanging up excitedly.
She called up Prue and headed straight to the police station.
Running into the squad room she calls out "Phoebe! Phoebe!"
A tall blonde woman with a Norwegian
accent comes up and grabs
Piper who is about a head shorter
than her.
"Piper!" she cries holding onto her confused sister.
"Ah, whoa. Hello? Do I know you?" asked Piper pulling away a bit.
"It's me, Phoebe. I was kidnapped and changed." she said in tears.
"Pheebs? IS THAT YOU?" asked Piper staring up at Phoebe without a bit of recognition.
"Yes. It was Tom. HE a warlock and he's been glaming me. I don't know why! HE says he loved me but he doesn't want ME. He wants this." she said pointing to herself.
"Oh, sweetie. We'll get you out of this." said Piper patting her side.
"Are you sure this is your sister? Inspector Morris described her and this woman doesn't match that description." said the Detective.
"Ha-ha. Funny. I'd recognized her anywhere. Come one. Pheebs!" said Piper pulling her tall sister out the door.
"Oh, Miss Halliwell. Please sign
for your things." asked the Detective
handing her a release form.
"Sure." said Phoebe as she signed "Ana Haase."
"Ana Haase?" asked the confused Detective looking at the form.
"Oh my God!" cried out Phoebe who corrected the signature.
"That's not your handwriting," said Piper quietly.
"Or my name.." said Pheebs really
scared.
Prue met them at the Manor.
"Ah, Pheebs?" Prue asked looking up.
"Yea," she said weakly.
"She is the victim of a glamorizing
love-sick warlock. We stopped to
pick up a few things. Like some
clothes that fit! Is Leo here?" asked Piper looking all around.
"In the kitchen." said Prue. "Pheebs
you look wonderful!"
said Prue admiring her sister's
new look.
Leo came out of the kitchen after
hearing the whole story.
"Phoebe, we really need to get
the warlock to undue the spell.
You really haven't had any evil
perpetrated against you, so
you can't really vanquish this
dude.
Pheebs broke into tears.
"You will get through this my dear."
said Prue holding her.
The next morning Phoebe woke up very confused. Her room didn't look familiar and neither did her sisters who came into check on her.
"Phoebe. It's me Prue. Look at me.
I'm your sister." said Prue
taking hold of Phoebe.
"Ana. My name is Ana." insisted Phoebe some what confused.
"PHOEBE you are under a spell. You
are not who you think you are!"
said Piper sternly.
"Pr-ooo" said Phoebe weakly. "You're my sister!"
"That's right," said Prue as if to a child.
"Help me Prue. I can't find me. There is not a shred on me left in here. Help me!" said Pheebs as she collapsed to the floor in tears.
Piper comforted her. "It's all right, Pheebs. It's all right!"
"I have completely slipped away.
I think, I'm all gone." said
Pheebs weakly with tears in her
eyes.
Piper marched up to the Book of Shadows. "I found Ana Haase. She was the wife of a warlock named Rotex. She was killed during a warlock fight twenty years ago. Obviously Tom is either him or his agent to resurrect his dead wife. Phoebe being a witch is much more accepting of magic and was picked for that. But if we don't get this stupid thing reversed, we will completely loose our sister."
"She may already be gone. At least with a name, we can try to locate him." said Prue hopefully.
With the San Francisco map out and the spirit rock waving over it they tried to find the warlock Rotex.
Pheebs played away delightfully on the piano and talking to herself in Norwegian.
"I not sure if she even knows any English. I never took any foreign languages. And Prue you do better with those ancient languages you learned at the museum. OOO! We have a spot!" said Piper as the rock stuck to a spot on the map.
"Sunset and Fairfax. It's a warehouse district. OF course! Grab Ana and we'll check it out." suggested Prue.
"Where are you ladies taking me?" said Ana/Pheebs very confused.
"We're going to see about a passport
for you to return to us." said Piper defiantly.
The warehouse was full and busy. The ladies asked for Tom and a Mr. Rotex, but got no answer. Ana/Pheebs spoke to someone in his native Norwegian. They went to a small building in the back.
"Ana!" cried out Tom.
"Oh, my husband. You are quite well.
I have been missing you so!"
said Ana/Pheebs grabbing him and
kissing him. "Let's go home!"
"Ah, one minute! This is our sister.
She belongs with us." said Prue
defiantly.
"Let me ask her. Do you want to go with these ladies?" Tom asked Ana/Pheebs.
"Oh, they were kind to bring me
here, but I belong with you Tom!"
said Ana/Pheebs looking lovingly
at Tom.
"Whoosh!" went thought the air as Piper froze the two of them.
"All right. Pheebs doesn't want to be with us. And he hasn't broken the Wicca rede. Now what?" asked Piper.
"We'll just have to threaten him. Appealing to his human nature won't work." said Prue shaking her head.
"No, let me try something." said Piper as she reanimated them.
"Wait, maybe we can give you something
to change your mind." continued
Piper
"I do not want powers or material
things. I just want my wife!"
said Tom turning away.
"WAIT! What if we go get your wife for you?" cried Piper blurting out the first thing that came into her mind.
"Piper, we can't do that!" cried Prue excitedly.
"Was your wife an innocent victim?" asked Piper.
"As my word as a warlock, she died
an innocent victim!" said Tom
holding up his right hand.
"Uh, you're taking the word of a warlock?" asked Prue surprised.
"We need HIM to get back our PHOEBE!" said Piper annoyed with Prue.
"Are you sure about that?" Prue said to Tom.
"Very well. On the grave of my beloved
wife, she was not engaged in any evil or criminal acts the night my fellow
warlocks were attacked by good witches. AND I have ONLY been trying to
resurrect her since then.
Since it was the BLACK MAGIC that
was responsible for her death, I swore it off except for its everyday use.
Satisfied?" said Tom
staring at Prue.
"What about what you did to our sister?" asked Piper.
"Black magic it was, but of the
purest kind inspired by love." said
Tom lovingly.
"I still say we don't trust him," said Prue crossing he arms and looking directly at him.
"Your offer is so tempting, I'll raise you one. Restore my wife to me and you may strip me of all my black magic. Just allow my wife and I to live out a normal mortal life. Now are you satisfied?" concluded Tom.
"Enough to at least attempt it.
I still don't know if we can change
your wife's destiny." wondered
Prue.
"IF we bring her back to 2000, she
won't be affecting the past any.
And Phoebe.." said Piper.
"And we need her to save Phoebe.
We all need to go to the Manor and I NEED to know all the details of the
time and place of her death." said
Prue interrupting Piper.
"You'll never regret this, Prue." said Tom.
"We'll see," said a skeptical Prue.
"What does all this mean darling?" asked a confused Ana/Pheebs.
"It will all be explained. Come
with me, my darling. These kind ladies are going to help us out, again."
said Tom patting his wife's hand.
Golden Park, September 19, 1990.
Four figures orb in forming Prue, Piper, Tom and Ana/Phoebe.
"It occurred over there. Give them
about ten minutes. Graeton and Vixet, two other warlocks had just stolen
the Frautin Talisman. We
went off in different directions
and rendezvoused back here."
said Tom.
"And just what could you do with that thing?" asked Piper.
"It was a communication device.
If used correctly, you could
contact the source himself. And
if you please him, he could
grant you great power so you could
do his bidding. It was
very tempting at the time." said
Tom.
"And why are we here, my love?" asked Ana/Phoebe.
"To prevent a grave wrong!" said Tom.
"You don't expect us to prevent
the attack, do you?"
asked Prue.
"Rescuing my wife is all I ask.
I saw how wrong my path was
long ago and I regretted every
day without my wife." said Tom.
"Oh, you poor dear!" said Ana/Phoebe. "I am back now!"
"Wait, something is moving over there!" said Piper.
Two warlocks walked in to the glen with Ana and one blinked in.
"We got it." cried one of them.
"I do not like this devilish business," said the younger Ana.
"My dear, we shall have more power
than any warlock ever dreamed
of." said the younger Tom.
"We have to get this home before
something happens to it!"
said the third warlock.
"Something has happened," cried out another voice.
"Oh my God. It's Grams and Aunt Flavia." said Prue.
"Gramsí quilting circle partner
was a witch, too? How did
we miss all this growing up?" asked
Piper.
Aunt Flavia started throwing out lighting while one of the warlocks started throwing cold bolts at them.
"Piper!" screamed Prue.
"Whoosh!" everyone but the good watches froze.
"Should we really contact Grams?" asked Piper.
"You ask her," said Prue as the
other two good witches
stared at them.
"Prue, Piper! What are you two doing
here?" cried out Grams.
She remembered their adult forms
from their visit six
years before. "You shouldn't be
back here in time! It's
much too dangerous. I warned you
about that."
"It's good to see you too, Grams."
said Piper sarcastically but
with a touch of love.
"These are your grandchildren!" asked Aunt Flavia.
"Unfortunately yes. They are still
new to witchery." Grams
lamented to her friend.
"From our point of view it's been
two years. And we came back
only to help Phoebe." said Prue.
"Where is the child and why are you with these duplicates?" asked Grams. "Oh dear. This is confessing!"
"Phoebe was bewitched by this warlock
and was turned into his wife.
The only way we could get her back
was to stop her death. She died
when you tried to rescue that artifact."
said Prue.
"Artifact? Artifact? That Talisman
could mean the end of the world.
And he <Pointing to the older
Tom> is probably using you to re-steal
it." said Grams sternly. "Prudence,
I question your judgment!"
"Look, Grams. You did stop them.
He lost all faith in warlock-er-y or
whatever and just wants his wife
back. WE WANT PHOEBE BACK! So there
is a little mutual back scratching
here." said Piper.
"Take the Talisman, do whatever to the other two warlocks and we'll take Ana Haase with us. It won't hurt the timeline for see did disappear or die or whatever on this date. We'll strip them of their powers and they can live happily ever after. AND THE CHARMED ONES will survive too." said Prue.
"That may be true, but I will not
let any of you go unless all of this
come to pass before you return
to whenever you came from." said Grams.
"You and Piper are at school. Phoebe
should not be a problem. She is with a neighbor. Is that understood, young
lady!" said Grams.
"Yes, Grams." said Prue smiling at being treated nine years old again.
Aunt Flavia first destroyed the
Talisman with her heat power. And
then they vanquished the other
two warlocks.
"Task done and with his wife still intact. Leave the younger version here to wonder what happened to everything and we'll adjourn to Halliwell Manor. Flavia, please." said Grams. And in an instant everyone was in the attic.
"Life seems to keep bringing us here!" said Piper flatly.
"It is a place of magic and wonder,
my dear." said Grams. "Can you
you unfreeze the warlock?"
"No problem." said Piper who did that with a wiggle of her finger,
"OK, what is happening? I feel a
lot has commenced since we arrived
here. And you delivered us into
the clutches of those who destroyed my
wife. You traitors!" he cursed.
"You have it all wrong!" said Piper.
"Young man. If they weren't my granddaughters I would have dealt with you now the way I hadn't the first time. CHANGE BACK my youngest one and then we will see about restoring your wife to you." said Grams seething.
"We have an agreement and.." said Tom.
"DO IT or you will NEVER see you wife!" commanded Grams.
"She is good!" said Piper to Prue agreeing.
Tom went over to Ana/Pheebs made
some gesture and uttered an unintelligentable incantation. The presence
of Ana Hasse faded
and Phoebe returned in her place
and promptly fainted.
"Pheebs," cried out her sisters.
"Whoa. What was that? Where am I?" she asked.
"In the attic. What's the last thing you remember?" asked Piper.
"Uh, at Tom's apartment. IS he all
right?" asked Pheebs looking around
"Grams? Aunt Flavia? NOW I AM CONFUSED!"
"Phoebe my darling. You are looking well, now. Stripping a warlock of his powers will require the full power of the charmed Ones. I can't help you there." said Grams.
"W-A-R-L-O-C-K! Tom darling, what
do they mean? You're kidding, right?"
asked Pheebs.
"No, my darling. It is my wife I love," he said pointing to the still frozen Ana.
"Oh God, nooo!" said a heartbroken Pheebs.
"Pheebs, let's do the spell and
get home. It's the way Grams wants it."
said Piper.
So the three Charmed Ones prepared an incantation and stripped Tom of the last of his warlock powers. Tom looked at first relived and then joyfully held his wife.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I am ever so happy and grateful."
he said joyfully.
"Sure, anytime. Glad to help out others while ruining my life." said Pheebs.
"You'll find someone else. Pheebs" said Piper.
"Destiny will bring you us and your true love together my dear." said Grams.
"Yea, destiny did that for you three
different times. I like to
think it's my own doing!" said
Phoebe.
"Grams, Grams! Who are these people?
I'm scared!" said a little four
year old Phoebe running into the
attic.
"Isn't she cute!" said Piper.
"That she was, is!" said Prue smiling too.
"Phoebe?" asked the adult version.
"Yea. Who are you?" she asked tilting her head and raising her eyebrows.
"Oh, I'm sort of your Aunt Phoebe." said Phoebe grinning from ear to ear. "It is so good to meet you finally. Come here."
Little Phoebe walked up to her a
little reluctantly, but when the
adult Phoebe gave her such a big
hug, she responded the same.
"You have my name?" she asked.
"Yep. I'm sort of the person you were named after. Your Mom met me before YOU were ever born. You are so beautiful," Pheebs said with tears in her eyes.
"SO are you! I want to grow up just liked you." said little Phoebe.
"And you will, my darling!" said Phoebe.
Then Piper and Prue got her to give them a hug.
"Well, we have to go." said the adult Pheebs.
"Why, you just got here?" said little
Phoebe showing some
affection for her new aunt.
Phoebe got down on one knee at took
little Phoebe by the shoulders.
"We have a LONG way to go. But
I will NEVER forget meeting you, Phoebe.
You are a wonderful girl and don't
give your Grams any trouble."
she said smirking a bit knowing
that she would. "I love you a lot." she said grabbing her tight.
"I love you too, Aunt Phoebe!!" said little Phoebe. "Bye."
"Come here, child." said Grams.
"Good bye girls. Something tells me
our paths will cross again. You
are truly charmed."
"Bye Grams. Bye Aunt Flavia." said her granddaughters. They said their incantation and disappeared from view. They remained in the attic, still little changed in twenty years. Piper finally unfroze the poor Ana.
"Thomas. Where is this?" she asked.
"Do not be afraid. My warlock days are over. We will be so happy together. But you have some things to get used to things that have changed. Much time has passed" said Tom.
"Yea, what did happen to us?" asked Pheebs to Tom very peeved.
"We did have something my dear, but my love for my wife never did die." said Tom.
"And he kind of had made you over
as his wife. You morphed into her!"
said Piper.
"And you did this to this poor young woman?" asked Anna.
"Yes, but they helped me regain you!" said Tom.
"That is not right, Thomas!" said Ana.
"And that was the last spell I cast
as a warlock. Phoebe. I am sorry
from the bottom of my heart! Will
you every forgive me?" he asked
"Well, yea, I guess since I can't even remember what happened! It's just that I really thought that we had something and I was getting ready to settle down if you had asked me." said Pheebs.
"There will be other guys, sweetie," said Prue.
"And you're not the ONLY ONE who fell for a WARLOCK!" said Piper reminding her of Jeremy.
"At least he was a partly good one! Oh well, I'm back!" said Pheebs. Thomas and Ana left the attic arm in arm.
"At least one couple came out happy from this adventure." said a disgusted Phoebe to Piper.
"Oh, you'll find your prince charming." said Piper
"You really think so?" said Pheebs.
"Absolutely." she replied.
Pheebs smiled at her sister as the Charmed Ones headed off to another day.
THE END
