Teen: Where do you think your going?
Woman: (Nervously) UmmÖ I was justÖ ummÖ (Looks down, trying to come up with an excuse for leaving the house so late) going out for a quick run.
Teen: Uh huh. Jogging at 2:00 in the morning.
Woman: Well you know what they say; the early bird gets the worm.
Teen: You're a really bad liar you know that.
Woman: Well, I was justÖ ummÖ Hey wait a minute. Where do you think your going?
Teen: (shrugs) Terry knows someone who can get us into The Cellar; so we're all gonna go and see if it's as hot as everyone says it is.
Woman: (upon hearing this explodes) Ohh no you don't young lady. I don't want you going there tonight. Do you hear me, it's dangerous. I'm your mother and it's my job to protect you.
Teen: Protect me from what; having a good time with my friends? Jamie's mom is letting her go.
Woman: Yea, well good for Jamie, I hope she has fun; but I'm not Jamie's mom and you are not going. Now turn around and go back you your room. We'll talk about this later.
Teen: What's your problem! You have never cared when I go clubbing with my friends before
Woman: Well this is different. I don't want you going there.
Teen: God you are such a hypocrite you know that. You always leave in the middle of the night to go on your "runs" and god knows whatever else it is that you really do. (the mother looks at her in shock) Oh don't think I haven't noticed all the times you sneak out. Is that why you keep such tight tabs on me? Why you always have to know exactly where I am and why I have to have my cell on me at all time. God we've had this argument before and every time you end up changing the subject or having to leave.
Woman: Look honey, I'm just trying to protect you. I promise one day everything will make sense to you but right now you just have to trust me. I have to leave but I promise I'll explain everything later. Please just let this go for now.
Teen:
Fine, but this isn't over.

Ext. Alley beside a nightclub.
4:00 AM.
Spectators
watch as police put caution tape across the mouth of the alley. There
is unidentifiable green goop on the walls, and in the background we see
a policeman zip up a body bag. There is a chalk outlining of a female
body and as the camera zooms in on two of the police officers we see a
sign for the club. It reads "The Cellar".
Officer 1: What happened here? (as he looks around)
Officer 2: (looking at his notebook) Single 42-year-old female. Apparently attacked by something. A younger couple stumbled on the body about an hour ago as they were leaving. The body was badly mutilated. (handing the other officer the Polaroid's taken of the body)
Officer 1: (Officer winces upon looking at the pictures) Jesus. What kind of sicko could have done that? Were there any witnesses?
Officer 2: Not that we know of.
Officer 1: Has the body been identified?
Officer 2: Yep.
Officer 1: What about family. Have they been notified?
Officer 2: The victim has a 16-year-old daughter. We have someone who's bringing her down to the station right now.
Officer 1: Poor kid. Where's the father?
Officer 2: Dunno. She moved to New York shortly after she got pregnant and never told anyone who the father was.
Officer 1: Does the daughter have any other family left?
Officer 2: Just two cousins in San Francisco. Her grandmother died two years ago. From a heart attack I think. Her aunt drowned about 20 years ago after having 3 kids; one of which died three months ago from internal bleeding. I wasn't able to get much on that case, just that it was an unsolved murder. I have someone who is gonna get a hold of the SFPD; see if they can contact her cousins.
Officer 1: An old collage buddy of mine lives out in San Fran. I can see if he knows her cousins. What are their names?
Officer
2: (flips through his notebook.) UmmÖ Halliwell; Piper
and Phoebe.

Enter
Piper, humming to herself as she carries a basket containing towels that
need to be washed. She stops at one door, knocks three times, and
then opens it slowly.
Piper: Paige; honey are you up? (She looks in to find Paige still asleep. She sighs and shakes her head as she sets down the basket, the walks over to the bed, and shakes her sister lightly. Paige stirs.) Rise-n-shine little sis. You better get up or you're gonna be late. You start work in (looking at her watch) a hour and a half.
Paige: (Shooting up in her bed) Shit. My alarm must not have gone off or something. My boss is gonna kill me for being late again.
Piper: Well you better get a move on. I won't keep you. (Camera follows Piper as she turns and heads out the door, picking up her basket on the way and going down the stairs. She is almost to the basement when the doorbell rings. She sets the basket down again and turns to answer it) Coming. (Opens the door to find Detective Darryl Morris.) Morning Darryl. What's up?
Darryl: What do you mean? (Obviously nervous)
Piper: Nothing, just that your visits here are usually business and things have been pretty quiet around here since Warlocks stopped forming factions. It's like they're all in hiding or something. But by the look on your face I'd say it was safe to say that something is up, and you aren't here just to hang out.
Darryl: Well you're right about that. I'm just not exactly sure how to say this.
Piper: Why don't you come in and sit down. (They walk into the living room as she is talking) Just start at the beginning. Should I get Phoebe and Paige?
Darryl: (As he sits) Yea. Thank you. It is best if they hear this too. I don't really think I want to have to tell this story twice.
Piper: Ok. (Turns and yells upstairs to her sisters) Phoebe! Paige! Get down here; we've got company. (Turns to Darryl) Do you want some coffee or something? You don't look that good.
Darryl: No thank you.
Piper: Ok. (As Phoebe and Paige enter)
Phoebe: Hey Darryl. What's up?
Darryl: Phoebe, Paige. Um have a seat and I'll tell you. (they sit) Umm last night a woman was found murdered at a popular nightclub in New York. She was brutally mutilated and the police have no idea who could have done something like this.
Phoebe: And you think this was supernatural somehow.
Darryl: One hundred percent sure.
Phoebe: What makes you so sure. I mean this is New York we're talking about; people are murdered there all the time. It's sad but hat doesn't mean their supernatural.
Paige: Yea, and I mean what exactly do you want us to do about it; pack our bags and go to New York because there might be a demon loose there. I haven't been a witch very long but one thing I have learned is that there is a lot of evil out there, and we can't kill every demon. I mean call me selfish but I don't want toÖ (Darryl cuts her off)
Darryl: No, You're right. I don't expect you to go to New York to fight this demon. I'm not even sure it's alive anymore.
Piper: Why do you say that?
Darryl: Because there were remains of something on the wall that the police could only describe as green goop. The lab expert that they sent it to said that it is not made of anything that they have ever seen before.
Piper: Any you think that it was the remains of a demon of some sorts?
Darryl: Yes.
Phoebe: Well then why come to us about it. I mean if you are right and it was a demon and it is dead now then there is nothing we can do about it. Any why would the NYPD contact you guys about it?
Darryl: They contacted the SFPD because of the victim. They were able to identify her by dental records and it turns out that she was originally from San Francisco. Besides her 16-year-old daughter the only other living family she had was two nieces who live in the city.
Paige: So you want us to help you track down the daughtersí cousins? (Confused)
Darryl:
No. Um they already know who the cousins are actually. Which
is what brings me here. I don't know how to say this exactly so I'm
just going to say it. The woman that they found murdered in the alley.
Her name was Patrice Halliwell. (There is an uneasy silence)

Piper:
You think this woman is related to us. That's why you're sure that
it was demon related.
Darryl: Yea.
Phoebe: Darryl that's impossible. We don't have any other family. I mean if that girl is our cousin, then that makes the woman murdered our aunt and mom didn't have any sisters.
Darryl: Look, I don't know what to tell you, I'm just the messenger. And my message is that this girl is your cousin and she is now on a plane here that lands in (checking his watch) 1 hour.
Phoebe: What! Darryl, we're not even sure this girl is related to us and now you're telling us that she is on her way to come live with us. I caní believe this.
Darryl: Well believe it cause it's true.
Piper: What about her father? Why is she coming to live with us? Wouldn't she go live with her father?
Darryl: Normally yes, except for the fact that no one knows who the father is accept for Patrice. According to the records she never told anyone who the father was. And in cases like this children go to the closest living relatives, which would be you guys.
Paige: I can't believe this.
Darryl: Look, I didn't put her on the plane and I'm not the one with all the answers. Why don't you talk to your grandmother. See what you can find out. I have to go. Um, I have to get back to work. I'll call you later ok. (Standing up and walking to the door)
Paige: Thanks Darryl.
Phoebe: (After he leaves) Well I don't know about you but I want to get to the bottom of this and there is only one way I can think of to know for certain. (Turns and walks madly to the attic grabbing a lighter on the way up. Paige looks at Piper and shrugs, the flows Phoebe. Camera follows Piper as she joins them. When they reach the attic Phoebe throws the door open and starts lighting the candles.) Grams!!! Grams get down here right now. We need to talk to you. (after nothing happened) Grams. Fine we'll do this the hard way. (walk to the book and flips the pages eagerly till she settles on one and reads)
Hear these words
Hear my cry
Spirit from the other side
Come to me I summon thee
Cross now the great devise
Grams: All right. All right. Calm down Phoebe, I'm here.
Piper: Grams. Why does Darryl think we have a long lost cousin that we never knew about?
Grams: Well, because technically you do.
Phoebe: What! Then it's true. Goodness grief Grams! How many more relatives do we have that we don't know about cause I don't think I can handle any more family secrets right now.
Grams: That's it. There are no other relatives that you don't know about. Patrice is my only other daughter besides your mother.
Piper: Why didn't you tell us?
Grams: It was complicated. Part of it was that she didn't want me to tell anyone.
Paige: Why?
Grams: Well. Because she was different. When Patty and her were growing up she never really liked magic. Never liked being a witch. She chose to see it as a burden rather than a gift. She refused to fight demons unless she had to, refused to use her powers at all. And when she was old enough she left town. Said she wanted to get as far away from San Francisco as possible. She always hated this city. I think she thought that if she could get out of the city then she would be able to escape her destiny. That somehow by leaving the city she would stop being a witch. It's really a shame to because she was very powerful. More powerful then your mother even. When she left your mother was pregnant with Prue and Patrice said that she didn't want to be there when your mother started having her kids. She said it would just bring out a new generation of witches and more demons that she didn't want to deal with. So she left and told me that she didn't want to be apart of the family anymore. She never called, never wrote or answered any of my letters. She only came to visit once and that was while she was pregnant, but you wouldn't remember that. And once she was born Patrice bound her and told me that she would never let her become a witch. She still isn't.
Paige: Wow. And I thought I had problems.
Piper: Grams what was Patrice's power?
Grams: She had the power of Premonition like Phoebe.
Phoebe: So what now?
Piper: Well isn't it obvious. This girl; our cousin, is family. She's going to have to come live with us. And if Aunt Patrice didn't want her to be a witch then we can't tell her.
Phoebe: What! Piper, be realistic. I mean you're talking about a girl we've never even met coming to live with us.
Piper: Phoebe; she's family. Think about what she must be going through right now. The only family she has ever known was just murdered and suddenly she finds out that she has three cousins that she never even knew about and is being moved across the country to go and live with them. Darryl said she doesn't have any other family. We don't have a choice. Where else would she go?
Phoebe: Ok, maybe you're right about that. Maybe we don't have a choice about her living with us. But we can't keep this from her. We are witches Piper. That fact alone is going to be kind of hard to hide considering the fact that demons constantly attack us here.
Piper: Grams hid it from us while we were growing up. I don't see why it would be any harder to hide it from her. Besides things haven't exactly been demonically busy around here lately. After all, the source is mortally wounded and warlocks are still to scared to start forming factions again. Once we finish the source then they will be even more scared.
Phoebe: Yea but we don't know how long things will stay that way Piper. We have no idea what will happen next and right now we have other, more important things to worry about than hiding what this girl is from her. I don't see how we can hide this from her.
Piper: Well we really don't have a choice. After all this was our Aunts decision, we should respect it.
Phoebe: Fine. Look I may not agree with you on this, but your right, we don't have the right to tell her if that isn't what Patrice wanted.
Paige: Well, whatever we're gonna do, we need to do it fast, cause her plane is landing in (looks at her watch) a half an hour.
Piper:
Anyone up for going with me to the airport and meeting the newest member
of the Halliwell household?

Int. Airport. Afternoon.
The girl
from the apartment steps out of the plane terminal and scans the crowds
to see three woman (we know them to be the sister) holding a sign that
says ëHalliwellí. She rolls her eyes and walks over to them, snapping
her gum as she reaches them. The look down at her and notice she
is wearing jeans torn in the knee and the same shirt from last night with
doc martin boots donned in flames.
Girl: So you guys are the long lost cousins I never wanted.
Phoebe: Hey, we didn't ask to have aÖ
Piper: Phoebe, that's enough. Hi, I'm Piper; and these are my sisters Phoebe and Paige. (Extending her hand. The girl eyes the hand and rolled her eyes)
Girl: Pandora.
Paige: (Under her breathe) Another P. Why does that not surprise me?
Piper: Pandora. It's great to meet you. We prepared the guest room for you back at the manor. It isn't much but you can do whatever you want to it.
Pandora: Whatever. Now that we've done the whole ëmeeting thingí can we get out of here? I just wanna lie down.
Piper: Yea of course. Come on, lets get you out of here. Did you have bags with you?
Pandora: No, I was just sorta shoved onto the plane. I didn't really have any time to pack.
Piper: Well that's ok, we can go shopping tomorrow and get you some more clothes. (Puts her arm around Pandora. Pandora looks at Piper and then her arm and then back at Piper. Piper moves her arm off of Pandora.)

Int. Halliwell Manor.
3:00 A.M.
Lights are out as camera
zooms in to the door opening slowly and Pandora pokes her head through
the door. She lets out a sigh of relief and opens the door all the
way, stepping inside. She takes off her coat and hangs it up as she
sneaks to the stairs. The lights come on suddenly as we hear the
sound of Piper off stage saying, "Freeze." The camera pulls back
to reveal Piper sitting on the couch, arms crossed as she looks disapprovingly
at Pandora.
Pandora: Piper. Hey. I didn't realize anyone else was up.
Piper: Do you have any idea what time it is young lady?
Pandora: (Sarcastically) Sometime after Midnight and sometime before tomorrow?
Piper: Huh. Nice try. More like 3 A.M.
Pandora: Ohh, really. I thought it was later. Oh well. (Starts to leave up the stairs with Piper following.)
Piper: Uhh, that's not going to do it for me young lady.
Pandora: Well I'm sorry to hear that Piper.
Piper: Look, Pandora. I understand this is hard for you. This is hard for all of us... This is new for us all. I'm not used to being the mother figureÖ
Pandora: Then don't be.
Piper: Öand I'm trying really hard to be sensitive to your needs here. And I want to be ok with you going out at night; and you're defiant attitude but I'm not. And it doesn't help when you keep sneaking out. We need to know where you are; I need to know where you are. It's the only way we're going to be able to protect you. I don't want to be the mean aunt and be the one who has to enforce the rules but you are giving me no choice here. You have been living with us for two weeks and you need to start listening to me if you are going to live in this house.
Pandora: Then don't have me live here. Send me back to New York please. All my friends have offered to have me come live with them there and I don't understand why I can't go. Cause I don't wanna be here and I am almost positive I'm not wanted here.
Piper: That's not true.
Pandora: Yes it is. Phoebe hates me; Paige avoids me like a plague and you are just being nice to me out of pity and because you feel responsible for me.
Phoebe: (From behind) Well you haven't made it very easy for any of us to like you Pandora. I don't know what your mom let you get away with in New York, but were not your mom and this isn't New York. We're the adults here and you are going to have to follow the rules we lay down weather you like them or not. We are your guardians. The courts gave us custody over you and that means that you will do as we tell you until you turn 18. And now we say that you are to be in bed at 12 from now on with no sneaking out is that understood.
Pandora: You're right Phoebe your not my mom and you can't tell me what to do. I don't have to listen to you. Any of you. In two years I'll be 18 and then I'll be on the first plane back to New York. (Goes into her room and slams the door.)
Piper: Well; that went well. God Phoebe did you have to be so hard on her. She's just a kid. You could try to be more sensitive.
Phoebe: What it had to be said eventually Piper. She's been acting like a selfish brat from the day she moved in here and I'm tired of the way she treats you. You have been nothing but kind and supportive to her since the day she came and she treats you like crap. I don't care what happened to her mom or what kind of changes she has been going through, it does not give her the right to treat you like that.
Piper: She's just getting used to things. She'll come around. (Walking up the stairs to the attic.)
Phoebe: Whatever. What are you doing?
Piper: I'm gonna see if I can get some advice on how to handle parenting. (Opens the attic door and lights candles as she saysÖ)
Hear these words
Hear my cry
Spirit from the other side
Come to me I summon thee
Cross now the great devise
(Phoebe watches on, shaking her head as their Aunt Patrice materializes.
Phoebe turns and closes the door leaving them in private)
Patrice: Piper, you have to stop doing this. You know how they feel about you calling me here every night.
Piper: I know, I know, I'm sorry. It's just that I'm still having trouble getting through to her. She is totally dismissive of everything I say to her and has no regard for the rules I try to set. I know I need to be patient, and I'm trying really hard. It's just that I'm not sure how much longer I can go on like this when I have absolutely no clue what is going on in her mind.
Patrice: Piper honey, I know ití hard. Believe me, I know how difficult and stubborn she can me. But I also know that she has a good heart and she is just hurting right now. But she will come around, I promise you. Eventually she will realize that treating you badly will not change anything. You've been good to her Piper, and she will see that. I promise.
Piper: Well its not like I don't know what it's like to lose someone you care about. And I can't even want to imagine what she is going through right now. Living with three total strangers.
Patrice: You have a good heart Piper. Never forget that.
Piper: Thank you. And thank you for everything. For coming and helping me with this. I don't know how I would have managed to deal with her without your help each night.
Patrice: (hesitantly) Piper, I'm dead you know that. You can't keepÖ
Piper: I know. You've helped me enough, but I need to learn to deal with her on my own. I promise I won't call you again.
Patrice: Piper you don't have to promise that. You're my niece, and I enjoy talking to you. I want to help you, I do. It's just I don't want you to get attached, or have it come to the point where you cant deal with her without calling me here. You have to learn to deal with her on your own. But just know that if you ever truly need me, I will be here.
Piper: Thank you. I feel better. I better get some sleep. I have a feeling it is gonna be a long day tomorrow.
Patrice: Yes, and I need to get back.
Piper: Aunt Patrice. Tell everyone up there that I said hi, and that I love them. (Patrice just smiles at her)
Patrice: Piper they already know that. But I will tell them for you. Goodnight Piper. (Piper blows out the biggest candle located in the center and she disappears.)
Piper:
Well, she may not be able to help me, but maybe magic will. (She
turns the pages in the book until she reaches the page with the mind link
spell.) I may not be able to get advice from aunt Patrice, but that
doesn't mean I can't take a little peak inside her mind to help me see
what she's thinking.
Life to life
And mind to mind
Our spirits now will entwine
I meld our souls and journey to
The one whose thoughts I wish I
knew
(She looks disappointed when nothing
happens. Sighs and closes the book) Guess I shouldn't press
my luck too much in one night. (Blows out the candles and leaves
the room. Fade out as she shuts the door.)

Pandora's
alarm clock goes off to signal her it is time to get ready for school.
Camera close on her hand as she lazily reaches her arm out and presses
the snooze button. Camera travels down to the floor as
we see her feet walk across the floor and into the bathroom. Her
eyes are still closed as she goes to the sink. We see her reflection
to be that of Pipers. She splashes water on her face, opens her eyes,
sees the reflection and screams. Phoebe and Paige run into the bathroom
look at her nervously.
Phoebe: Piper honey, what's wrong. Is it something witchy?
Pandora/Piper: I'm not Piper.
Phoebe: If you're not Piper, then who are you. (scared for a moment)
Pandora/Piper: I'm Pandora. (As she says this Phoebe lets out a sigh of relief then looks at Paige and rolls her eyes while trying to prevent laughing)
Paige: Here we go again.
Pandora/Piper: What do you mean again. And why is no one as bothered as I am at the fact that I am in Pipers body. Will someone please explain what is going on to me?
Phoebe: (Suppressing a giggle) I don't know yet, but I know how we can find out. (Turns and walks down the hall. Pandora following quickly.) Piper. Get your butt out here you have some explaining to do. (Stops in from of Pipers door before barging in. She opens the door to find Piper still asleep, but in Pandora's body. She shakes her head and goes over to wake up her sister.) Piper, wake up we have a problem. (As she gently shakes her sister)
Pandora/Piper: You can say that again. (Pipers opens her eyes to see Phoebe standing over and sits up when she notices everyone in her room. She still doesn't notice that her and Pandora have switched bodies.)
Piper/Pandora: Huhh. What's wrong? Is it the source? (Sill not noticing in her half consciousness)
Phoebe: I think the source is the least of our problems right now. Take a look at yourself. (Handing her a mirror that is resting on Pipers night stand)
Piper/Pandora: (Sitting up in bad and taking the mirror. Looks into it and gasps) Ohh my gosh. What theÖ How did this happen.
Phoebe: We were kinda hoping that you could shed a little light on that. You were the one up in the attic last night.
Piper/Pandora: (Remembering the spell) But I didn'tÖ I mean I couldn'tÖ IÖ
Phoebe: Did you cast any spells?
Pandora/Piper: Excuse me just one moment. I don't want to interrupt this sisterly moment but WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!
Phoebe: Yea, but hold on a sec, first we have to find out what Piper did. Piper, did you cast any spells last night?
Piper/Pandora: Just the mind link one. But that one doesn't cause you to switch bodies. When you guys cast that one on me it just took you inside my mind.
Phoebe: Well something must have gone wrong. Something must have made the spell accidentally switch minds instead of linking them.
Pandora/Piper: Ok, hold on you lost me. What is all this talk of Spells and mind linking? Again would someone please explain to me what is going on here!
Piper/Pandora: Phoebe what are we going to do.
Phoebe: Well there's no use keeping this secret from her anymore. It's kinda hard to explain switching bodies without telling her the truth.
Pandora/Piper: The truth about what!!! Will someone please tell me what is going on!
Paige: You might wanna sit down for this. (Pandora sits on the bed and takes a deep breath)
Phoebe:
Well there is really no easy way of saying this, so I'm just going to say
it. You're a witch.

8:15 A.M.
Pandora/Piper:
(Her jaw drops) A what??
Piper/Pandora: A witch. Actually our whole family line is made up of witches. It runs in the blood, our powers were passed down through the females; Grams to mom and Aunt Patrice, who in turn passed them to us. And to you of course.
Pandora/Piper: Witches. Passed down by blood. And that's what you meant when you were talking about casting spells as such.
Phoebe: Exactly.
Pandora/Piper: (Starts laughing)
Piper/Pandora: What's so funny. Phoebe, why is she laughing?
Phoebe: I don't know! Pandora honey; what's so funny.
Pandora/Piper: (Still laughing) I'm laughing because this is all a dream. Off course! Why didn't I see it before? I mean; first I wake up in someone else's body, and then you tell me I'm a witch. This has to be a dream. Witches don't exist and people don't just magically switch bodies. It's scientifically impossible. I can't believe I didn't realize I was still dreaming earlier. All I have to do wait for this nightmare to be over.
Phoebe: Look; I know this is a lot to take in, especially right now. But I'm telling you this is no dream. You are a witch weather you like it or not and the longer you deny it the worse it's going to be.
Piper/Pandora: Right now I think the most important thing we need to be dealing with is how to reverse the spell so that we can get back in our own bodies. I don't know about you Pandora but I have had enough of this. I think we need to find a spell to reverse this and the sooner the better.
Pandora/Piper: Sure. Whatever. I really don't care one way or another.
Paige: Don't you want to be back in your own body?
Pandora/Piper: I am in my body. This is just a dream and soon I'll wake up and be back in my own body. I'm just gonna go along with everything until then.
Phoebe: (Walking to the door with Piper and Paige behind her) You do that. And while you're living in denial the three of us will be up in the attic trying to fix this. If you decide that you want to wake up and deal with things then feel free to come and join us. (Pandora shrugs and follows them. When they reach the attic the three sisters go to the book and start flipping through the pages looking for something to reverse the spell. Pandora walks around the attic, looking at the things inside.)
Piper/Pandora: Uhh!!! There has to be something in here about reversing a spell or undoing a bond or somethingÖ
Paige: It doesn't look like there is.
Piper/Pandora:
Well that doesn't exactly help our situation now does it? I just
hope that we can fix this before the next demon attack orÖ (Her rambling
is interrupted by Phoebe gasping as she has a premonition.)

Phoebe honey, are you all right. What did you see?
Phoebe: A warlock. He was attacking a girl in an alley. It was at a club near P3. He used an athamae to cut her throat. We have some time, it was dark out. About 9:00 I think.
Piper/Pandora: So what's the plan then? I mean we have to do something, and I don't have my powers in this body; at least I don't think I do. And we don't even know what Pandora's power is. And its not like either of us can just learn to use a whole new power in a matter of minutes.
Paige: Why don't we take things one step at a time and start by having her read the spell to receive her powers so we can see what Pandora's power is. And them we'll take it from there.
Phoebe: That's probably the best idea. We have to be prepared to help that girl and the best way to do that is to see what we have. (Turns to Pandora) Hey Pandora, can you come here for a minute. We need you to read this spell out loud. It will allow you to use your powers.
Pandora/Piper: (Walks over to join the sisters) Sure whatever. What do you want me to read?
Phoebe: Just read this incantation right here. (Points to the spell)
Pandora/Piper:
Hear now the words of the witches.
The secrets we hide in the night.
The oldest of gods are invoked
here
The great work of magic is sought
In this time and in this hour
We call upon the ancient power
Bring your power to we witches
three
We want to the power
Give us the power
That doesn't even make any sense.
I mean, hello, there is only one of me. It looks like there has to
be two other witches for this to work. I'm telling you this isn't
going to work.
Phoebe: Just shut up and try to use your powers.
Pandora/Piper: Ok, well what exactly is my power?
Piper/Pandora: Well we're not exactly sure. Witches in our bloodline have to ability to move things with their mind; freeze time; or receive premonitions.
Phoebe: Why don't you try to move something? Maybe that's your power.
Pandora/Piper: Whatever. (Pauses uncomfortable for a moment as they all watch her anxiously then turns nervously) So how exactly do I do that?
Piper/Pandora: Well. When Prue first got her powers she channeled it through her eyes. She said that she just looked at something and willed it move. Why don't you try that book over there. Just look at it and will it come to you.
Pandora/Piper: Ok (takes a deep breathe and looks at the book, willing it to come to her. Nothing happens) I can't do it. I don't think that is my power.
Piper/Pandora: Well that's ok. That probably just isn't your power. Why don't you try to freeze something.
Pandora/Piper: Ok. Now how do I do that exactly?
Piper/Pandora: (Smiles) Well, when I first got the power to freeze thing it was kind of hard to control. It just sorta happened when I was scared or nervous. But as I learned to control it. (Taking a quarter out of her pocket) Here, why don't I throw this coin up and you just focus to trying to freeze it. Don't really think about it that much, just will it to freeze.
Pandora/Piper: Ok. (Focuses on the coin as Piper throws it up, trying to freeze it. Nothing happens)
Piper/Pandora: That's ok, why don't we try again; maybe it's to small of a target. Why don't we try something a bit larger. (Looks around the room) Here, try freezing this ball when I throw it up, I used to use it to practice on when I first got my power.
Pandora/Piper: (Shrugs) Whatever (watches the ball as it goes up and tries to freeze it. Again nothing happens.) I can't do it.
Piper/Pandora: That's ok. Your power is probably premonition then.
Phoebe: Wait a minute. That just made me think of something! Piper, if she can't use your power in your body, then doesn't that mean that you can use your power in her body.
Piper/Pandora: I don't know. I hadn't thought of that. It's worth a shot. (She throws the ball up and it freezes. Pandora looks in amazement at the frozen object.)
Pandora/Piper: That is so cool! I'm stating to like this dream.
Phoebe: Well that's good to hear because this isn't a dream; its life.
Piper/Pandora: Well that's beside the point. Now that I know that I can use my power we (points to Phoebe and Paige) have a warlock to take care of. Pandora, look through the book and see if you can find a spell to reverse this. We'll be back soon.
Pandora/Piper: Ohh no you don't. I refuse to let you go fight a warlock or whatever it is in my body without being there to make sure nothing happens. I don't care if this is a dream, wherever my body goes I go.
Piper/Pandora: Ohh no you don't young lady. You are staying right here. It is far too dangerous for you to come with us.
Pandora/Piper: I'm going whether you like it or not Piper.
Piper/Pandora: I don't think so. I am still your guardian, weather or not I'm in my body and I am telling you that you are staying here where it's safe.
Pandora/Piper: (She crosses the room so that Piper and her are eye to eye, and crosses her arms) Just try and stop me. (Piper crosses her arms back as they engage in a staring match, neither one backing down)
Phoebe: Would you two stop it! We're wasting time here, when we should be on our way to save that girl. Look Piper, Pandora is a witch and she is going to come up against warlocks and demons eventually. I think that it's a good idea if she comes with us to watch.
Piper/Pandora: What. Phoebe are you crazy. She's just a kid. She could get hurt; or worse.
Phoebe: Piper, she's a witch. Ok, you can't protect her forever. She is going to have to learn how to take care of herself. We wont always be here to protect her or fight every demon that comes this way, and the sooner she learns to protect herself the safer she'll be. Besides, we're going to be there to protect her. It's just a warlock, it's not like it's an upper level demon or the source or something. All she has to do is watch so she can learn.
Piper/Pandora: Fine, but I don't like this.
Paige: Well if we've made a decision then can we please get going, because I wanna get this over with.
Phoebe:
Yea, lets go.

Chapter 9.
Ext. Alley. 9:15
P.M.
A girl,
19, walks hurriedly down the club. She fishes through her purse and
pulls out her keys. Out of nowhere a hand covers her mouth so silence
her scream and she is pulled into the alley. He pushes her against
the wall and pulls out a knife, putting it against her throat. He
is about to cut her when a wooden create beside him explodes. Piper
(still in Pandora's body) puts her hands down as he releases the girl and
throws her to the side. She hits her head from the throw and slides
to the ground unconscious.
Piper/Pandora: Hasn't anyone ever told you to pick on someone your own size.
Warlock: And you think you can take me. You're just a kid.
Piper/Pandora: Now that's where your wrong buddy. I'm not a kid, I'm Charmed. And I'm just borrowing this body. And you are about to see what the power of three can do.
Warlock: I always wanted to kill the Charmed Ones. (Piper tries to freeze him, only to find that he is immune to her power.
Piper/Pandora: (Panicked) I can't freeze him. Why can't I freeze him (The warlock just grins and slowly advances on the sisters. He comes at Phoebe with the knife, but she kicks it away. Paige sees the knife and calls for it, then hands it to Phoebe. The warlock and Phoebe continue to fight while Piper looks around nervously. She sees that the warlock is beating Phoebe and he knocked the knife out of her hand) Paige get the girl and get out of here! (Paige obeys, and runs over to get the girl. Piper picks up the knife and charges the warlock but he turns, and grabs her hand, throwing her into the pile of creates and making her unconscious before turning back to Phoebe. He never noticed Pandora (still in Pipers body) watching in shock and disbelief as he pushes Phoebe up onto the wall, holing her there by her neck. Pandora quietly sneaks up behind them, and grabs a wooden board, hitting him on the back, attempting to make him release his hold on Phoebe. He releases Phoebe and turns to look at a scared Pandora. He grabs the knife from off the floor and slowly walk towards Pandora, smirking.
Warlock: Stupid witch. (She gasps as he grabs her and pulls her in so that he is holding her into his body and has the knife to her neck. She makes a whimpering sound as he presses it closer.)
Phoebe: Nnnooo. (Starts to charge the warlock as he pulls Pandora closer.)
Warlock: One more step and she's dead. (Phoebe stops. He smiles and leans down to whisper in her ear.) Don't worry. Dying doesn't hurt. It'll be over before you know it.
Pandora/Piper: No. This is wrong. You're hurting me. You can't be hurt in dreams. You don't die in dreams. (Panicking. The warlock looks on and laughs)
Warlock:
Sorry to disappoint you, but this ain't no dream cupcake. Not that
it really makes any difference for you now. (Suddenly Pandora elbows
him in the gut, then grabs his arm, flipping him over her shoulder so that
he lands on his back in front of her, dropping the knife in the process.
She grabs the knife and stabs him in the stomach. The warlock bursts
into flames as he dies as Pandora watches in shock. She looks at
her hand, realizing what she had done and the knife falls to the ground.
Phoebe runs over to Piper and helps her up as Paige comes around the corner
and watches in shock.

The house
is dark as the camera focuses on the door. It opens to reveal Paige
entering. The camera follows her as she flips on the lights and goes
into the living room and starts fluffing the pillows on the couch.
The camera pulls back to show Piper (still in Pandora's body) and Phoebe
struggling to carry Pandora over to the couch. Blood is falling from
where the knife was pressed to Pandora's neck
Paige and Phoebe: LeoÖ
Phoebe: Leo! Cole! We could use some help here. (Cole comes down the stairs to see the sisters and goes to take Pipers place as the set her on the couch. Leo orbs in.) Nice of you guys to join us. (Pandora looks at Leo in shock from what she just witnessed)
Leo: What happened?
Paige: Warlock. Nearly killed us. I think that about sums it up.
Pandora/Piper: YouÖ You justÖ HowÖ
Piper/Pandora: We'll explain later. First I think she could use a little help Leo. (He nods and walks over to where she is sitting and heals her wound)
Leo: Better.
Pandora/Piper: (Feeling her now healed throat.) Yea. Thank you. But how?
Phoebe: Leo is our white lighter. (Pandora just looks at her confused) He's like a guardian angel for witches. And now he's your white lighter too. (She nods)
Pandora/Piper: So this isn't a dream then. You are really witches. I am really a witch. (They all nod) And demons and stuff. They really exist. (Again they nod) And it's our job to fight them and stuff. (They nod again) This is too weird. I mean I always new that there was something strange about me; about our family, but I never imagined it was something like this. I knew the whole time. I thinkÖ I mean, I always knew that we were different and that mom was hiding something. I always felt special... Like a part of me was missing. I guess that's why I didn't freak out as much when you told me. I mean, I always thought that all the history of Paganism all that magical powers stuff was cool. I guess I just subconsciously knew somehow.
Paige: I felt the same way when I first found out. I kinda flipped out though. I guess I thought that running from it would make it all go away. (Pandora nods.)
Pandora/Piper: So now what?
Piper/Pandora: Now we find a way to reverse this spell I cast. Man this is all my fault. I really messed up this time.
Phoebe: Piper you can't blame yourself for anything that happened.
Piper/Pandora: Can't I. This whole thing is my fault. We almost got killed tonight because of my mistake. If I hadn't done this then I would have been in my own body and we could haveÖ
Phoebe: And we all would be dead. Pandora still wouldn't know that she's a witch and we would have gone against that warlock by ourselves and we would be dead. We're alive now because of your mistake.
Piper/Pandora:
No we're alive cause we were lucky. I put us all in danger.
I can't believe how much I screwed up. I'm supposed to be the oldest.
I'm supposed to be protecting you guys, and instead, I'm putting all in
unnecessary danger. God. I can't do this. I can't be
the oldest. I'm no good as the protector. Prue would have never
made such a big mistake. God if Prue were here this would have never
happened. If it wasn't for Pandora doingÖ whatever it was that she
did, we would be dead.
Pandora/Piper: Piper stop. God this is not your fault. I may be new at this, but I do know that blaming yourself and taking all of the burdens onto your shoulders is not going solve anything. What happened happened and there is nothing that any of us can do to change that, so there's no use in placing blame or telling yourself what you should've done. The only thing you can do is learn from this and try to do better next time.
Phoebe: She's right Piper. This isn't your fault. By the way Pandora, how did you do that?
Pandora/Piper: Mom put me in karate since I was 3. She said that I needed to know how to defend myself in case she couldn't protect me. It makes more sense now than it did then. Phoebes right though, Piper. It wasn't your fault.
Piper/Pandora: Thanks, but I really did screw up this time. Look at me. I'm stuck in somebody else's body. Pandora I'm so sorry for all of this. I never meant for any of this to happen. I just wanted to know what you were thinking. I thought that if I could get a better idea of where you were coming from then I would be able to reach you somehow. I thought I would finally be able to get through to you.
Pandora/Piper: Piper, you don't have to apologize for anything. If I hadn't been such a bitch you guys then you would have never had any reason to cast that spell. I guess in a way I was just taking my anger about everything out on you. I'm sorry, that wasn't very fair to any of you, especially when you guys have been so nice to me. I know it must have been hard to find out that you have another long lost relative that is now forced to come live with you. It isn't any of your guys fault that mom died, or that I had to come live with you. And I didn't make it any easier on any of us by being a bitch about it.
Piper/Pandora: Come here. (Opening her arms to hug Pandora, who reluctantly walks over to Piper and accepts her embrace.) It hasn't been easy for any of us. I can't imagine how it must have been for you. Having to leave everything you have ever know to come and live with three cousins that you never even knew you had and then finding out that you are a witch with magical powers. It must have been really hard for you. (Neither notices the small glowing on their fingers)
Phoebe: Piper look. (Both of them look down at their hands and notice the glowing. Slowly they raise their hands until their palm to palm, and upon that happening the glow sends one pulse throughout the house that knocks Pandora and Piper off of the couch.)
Paige: Are you guys ok. (Rushing over to the fallen women)
Piper: Ok, what the heck was that. Hey wait a minute. I'm me again.
Pandora: (Sitting up) Oww. I have one major headache. Wait a minute. I'm me. I'm back in my own body. (Starts jumping up and down.) Yea. I'm home. No offense Piper, but I think I'll stick with being me from now on.
Piper: None taken. I agree 100 percent. But that still doesn't explain what happened.
Phoebe: Well, maybe the spell ran its course. You wanted to know what Pandora was thinking so you were transported into her body, and now that you guys were able to talk and work out your problems the spell was completed.
Paige: Yea, that makes sense.
Pandora: Well I don't care what the reason is, I'm just glad to be me again.
Piper:
Amen to that. (They all laugh)

Pandora: Well, thank you. Actually, very well. (The door opens and Phoebe and Paige enter.) Morning.
Phoebe: Morning. Hey Piper could you hand me the paper. I wanna take a look at the classified adds.
Piper: Phoebe, we've had this conversation before. I will worry about the source income for this house. You don't have to get a job.
Phoebe: Yea, I know. But with Pandora and Paige living with us now things are going to be more expensive. We need the money. (Neither notices the squeaking of the teapot)
Pandora: Guys. I hate to interrupt, butÖ (Neither seem to hear her.)
Piper: Phoebe we need you to be here in case something happens. Besides what if you get a premonition at your job. Remember what happened when you worked for Prue at Bucklands.
Phoebe: Yea but Piper we need the money.
Pandora: Guys.
Piper: Not right now Pandora. Phoebe, we don't need the money that badly, and weÖ (Is cut off by the teapot exploding form the heat. Pandora gasps as the shattered pieced of china and the boiling water fly out only to stop in midair, frozen.) Dammitt. I forgot about the tea.
Phoebe: Well at least you froze it before the china pieces could hurt anyone. (Walking over and picking up the frozen pieces.)
Piper: But I didn't.
Paige: Then who did? (They all look at Pandora who is staring at the frozen pieces wide eyed. She to seems almost frozen in place from shock, her hands up in the air. She slowly lets them down and puts a hand over her mouth, gasping.)
Phoebe: Well, I think we figured out what her power is.
Pandora: IÖ IÖ I did that. (Half questioning, half statement of fact.)
Piper: But how is that possible. In the attic she couldn't freeze anything.
Phoebe: Maybe that's because she wasn't in her own body.
Paige: Well that makes sense. That's probably why Piper could use her powers in Pandora's body. Because she is more experienced at her power than Pandora is. (Pandora just turns and leaves)
Piper: Pandora wait... (Starts to go after her, but is stopped by Phoebe.)
Phoebe:
Piper, just give her some time. She's got a lot that she has to adjust
to. She'll come around, just giver her some time to think.

Int. Pandora's Room.
Night.
Camera
comes down overhead on a sleeping Pandora. She tosses and turns.
Obviously upset by the dream she is having. Cameras continues to
come down, heading seeming for her eyes, only to have the scene switch
when it reaches them. We are now in her dream.
Ext. Unknown. Dawn.
Camera
pulls back to show Pandora looking wildly around her. It is apparent
that she is searching for something or someone. All around her is
white and she is apparently standing on clouds as the sun rises.
There is fog everywhere making it incredibly difficult to see unless the
object you are looking at is a foot in front of you. It is actually
quite beautiful. Pandora stops turning, she has apparently found
whatever it is that she is looking for. We can make out the form
of a middle-aged woman, walking towards her. We are not able to see
the face through the fog; only dark hair and the white robes she is wearing.
Both of their palms start glowing as she comes closer, and Pandora starts
walking forward, no longer afraid.
Pandora: Who are you? (She receives no answer. She pulls away a little when the woman puts her hand out, but then reaches her hands out so that the fingertips are touching, then slowly puts her palm to the woman's. The light spreads and as it dies down we see the face of the woman. We know her to be none other than Prue Halliwell, but Pandora just looks at her confused. Prue smiles at her as she starts to back away. We can no longer make out the details of her face due to the fog. Pandora panics as she sees Prue leaving and starts running after her.) Wait. You didn't answer me. Who are you? (The woman just smiles, but we hear her reply. It seems to come from all around)
Prue V.O.:
All your questions will be answered soon enough. Now you have the
power. (The fog gets thicker as Prue vanishes and then the scene
fades all together and we find ourselves back in Pandora's room as she
wakes)

Phoebe,
Piper and Paige enter and flip on the light only to find Pandora sitting
at the counter drinking hot tea.
Piper: Morning.
Pandora: Yea, whatever. (Sighs)
Phoebe: Honey, what's wrong. You don't look so good.
Pandora: I just had a long night that's all.
Phoebe: Wanna talk about it? (The sisters take a seat next to Pandora.)
Pandora: Well, for the past two weeks I've been having this really weird dream. It was the same every night, but I never finished it. I always woke up right before it ended. I thought that if I could just finish the dream then it would make sense; but now that I finished it I'm more confused then ever.
Paige: Why don't you tell us what it was about. It helps to talk about it.
Pandora: (Looks at her doubtingly) It starts out the same. I'm don't really know how to describe where I was. It was like I was walking on the clouds as the sun was rising. Everything was foggy and I can't see, but I have the feeling that I should be looking for something; or someone. And then she's there. Walking towards me, with her arms stretched out. Usually that's when I wake up. Right before she reaches me, before I can even see her face.
Phoebe: But last night you didn't.
Pandora: (Shakes her head.) When she reached me she held out her hands. I asked her who she was, but she never answered. When I took her hands everything started glowing; kinda like it did when I switch back bodies with Piper. Anyway once the glowing stopped she starts to leave. The only thing she said what that all my questions would be answered soon, and that I have the power now. Then I woke up. I really don't understand what is happening.
Piper: Well, I don't know what to tell you. If the woman is right then you will get the answers you're looking for. You just have to be patient. And right now its time to get ready for school young lady.
Pandora: Yea Yea. (She walks out of the kitchen.)
Paige: Poor kid. This must be really hard for her. (She stops when they hear the sound of glass breaking in the living room. They all go out into the living room to find Pandora frozen in front of a picture. Her mug is broken on the floor, but Pandora seems not to have noticed as she eyes the picture. Her face turns white. As the sisters get closer it becomes apparent that it is the picture of Piper, Phoebe and Prue standing outside of the manor that grams took before she died.)
Piper: Pandora honey. What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Pandora: (Pointing to Prue) Who is that? Who is she?
Phoebe: (Walking over and picking up the picture.) Um, that Prue. (Sad tone) Grams took this picture of us before she died.

Cross now the great devise
Grams get your astral ass
down here right now. You have some explaining to do. (Grams appears)
Grams: I've been expecting your call.
Piper: Well that's good to know cause you have some major explaining to do. Like why Prue is making guest appearances in Pandora's dreams. What is going on her Grams? What aren't you telling us?
Grams: Piper, do you remember when I said that your aunt came to visit only once, but that you could have remember that.
Piper: Yea. But what does that have to do with anything?
Grams: Everything. The reason why you don't remember it was because; as hard as this is for you to grasp; you were dead. You, Prue and Phoebe were all dead.
Piper: What! Grams that's crazy. How could we have died and not known about it. And how could we be alive right now if we did. You're not making any sense.
Grams: You don't remember it because we made you forget it happened. The source attacked the three of you when you were 15. But because you didn't know you were witches and didn't have your powers yet; he succeeded.
Phoebe: So then how are we alive now??
Grams: Well, its complicated, but basically they felt that you weren't ready to die. You hadn't even begun to fulfill your destiny as the charmed ones. The only problem is that they didn't have to the power to reverse time, or bring back the dead. Something like that could only be accomplished by someone who shared not only your blood, but was linked you all three of your powers. Fortunately at the same time your Aunt Patrice was pregnant with Pandora, so they gave the unborn baby the power to bring back any of the charmed ones from the dead; but only after she had made a connection to the sister. Piper, you made the connection when you switched back your bodies. The glowing was just a sign of the connection being made. Prue was simply making her connection to Pandora and sharing her power. That is why Pandora couldn't use any of her powers after she read the incantation; because she had yet to form the connection. Once she did she was able to tap into Pipers power to freeze, and now that she has made a connection to Prue she can move things with her mind like Prue.
Piper: So you're saying that Pandora can bring Prue back.
Grams: Yes. Now that she's made the connection she can. And that is why none of you remember dying, and Pandora doesn't remember bringing you back. Because she wasn't born yet your aunt Patrice did it. As you know when a witch is pregnant she can tap into her child's power, like Patty did when she was pregnant with Phoebe.
Piper: How could you keep this from us?
Grams: PiperÖ
Piper: No, don't even try making any excuses. These past three months without Prue have been torture for Phoebe and me. And you knew. You and mom knew that we could bring her back, and you didn't tell us. How could you just stand by and let us suffer the loss of our sister, and not tell us that there was a way to bring her back.
Grams: Piper I'm sorry, I truly am. But you must understandÖ
Piper: No, I don't. I don't understand how they can keep doing this to us. How you could do this to us.

walk over to Prue's headstone and Piper raises her hands, blowing up concrete
to reveal Prue's casket behind it. Piper and Phoebe pull out the
coffin and set it on the ground as Piper opens it to reveal Prue's lifeless
body. While they are doing this Paige watches on nervously as Pandora
enters. Her hands are crossed her body, so that she is holding herself.
She walks slowly to the coffin and looks down at the body.
Paige: Guys, maybe we should re-think this. Don't you think it will seem a little odd when Prue suddenly comes back from the dead after 5 months? Besides we don't even know if Pandora can do this.
Piper: (Ignoring Paige she turns to Pandora, who's eyes are nervously glued to the body.) You ready.
Pandora: (bending down so that she is sitting on her knees next to the body) I don't reallyÖ I don't know what to do. (Phoebe walks over and puts an arm on her shoulder)
Phoebe:
Just do what your heart tells you. (Pandora nods and takes a deep
breathe before placing her hands on the Prue's stomach. She closes
her eyes and continues to take deep breathes. Piper, Phoebe and Paige
watch on nervously, waiting and watching for a sign that something is happening.
After about 5 minutes Pandora's hands start glowing and it spreads slowly
throughout Prue's body. Pandora winces as the glow sends a wave of
gold around the room, before she falls to the ground exhausted. As
that happens, Prue sits up, gasping for air. Piper and Phoebe run
over to their sister as Paige goes to attend to Pandora. By then
Piper, Phoebe and Prue are crying as they embrace) Don't you ever
