Unique Retirement Gifts

For Charmed Fans .... what do you think?

Phoebe drives into the parking lot of the Bay Mirror. This will be her last time, she wanted to say goodbye to her workers and friends. Phoebe decided to retire her advice column “Ask Phoebe”. After talking a long pause to take in the finality of this she gets out of her car, she opens up the back car door and gets her child out of the baby carrier. Phoebe walks towards the Bay Mirror’s main floor and see’s everyone has been waiting for her.Happy Retirement Banners, balloons and streamers hang from the wall.Everyone quietly says “Surprise” they knew Phoebe was bringing her new daughter and didn’t want to scare or make her cry. Phoebe, truly surprised says “You guys, this is so nice, Thank You” . Elise , Phoebe’s former boss speaks up “ Even though you are too young to retire, we wanted to tell you how much you meant to all of us and we wish you only the very best”, with a big and proud smile Phoebe says “I would like to introduce you to Penny Patricia Halliwell ( Penny named for her Grams who raised her and Patricia for her Mother ) . Everyone started to gather around her to see the new baby. Paige who decided to open her own social worker company was taking her daily walk , breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the calm of the day. Ever since the big battle, things have been fairly quiet on the demon front. She generally pauses at this large shaded tree during her walks to just appreciate it’s calming beauty, but today was different there is a very old lady that was trying to stand up from a sitting position. Paige said let me help you, the little old lady said that is so kind of you young lady. Just as she was helping the older lady up a very large and heavy branch was falling quickly towards the both of them. Paige using her powers said “branch” then altered the path so it wouldn’t fall on either of them. The older lady said Thank You in a strong voice, had a evil smile, her eyes turned red with fire then she disappeared. Paige said out loud “great, here we go again”. Phoebe walks into her home across the street from the Halliwell Manor, both her and paige purchased homes within feet of each other. They finally had separate places to live but had the strength of the Power of Three close at hand. Juggling little penny and a few of the retirement gifts given to her, she was a little surprised to see Piper sitting in her living room. “Hi, Piper” “what’s up ?” , “Well if like you didn’t already know, it’s time for penny’s wiccaning”. As Phoebe puts penny down in her bassinet she remarks “ I can’t believe I forgot, with my retirement and coop’s new buisness” ( Coop, a former cupid decided to open up a dating service called Cupid’s magical Ring ). Piper stood up by the circle of candles, Phoebe prepared herself for it was time to call Grams once again (as the matriarch of their family, it is grams responsibility to call every matriarch from each generation to introduce the new child and say a protection blessing over her ). "Here these words, hear my cry, spirit from the other side, come to me, I summon thee, cross now the great divide." (Colourful lights swirl inside the candle circle and then Grams appears.) Grams steps out of the circle and becomes corporeal. She hugs Phoebe and Piper. “Where is our new angel” grams said. Phoebe points to the sleeping baby in the bassinet. Grams noticed the pink blanket and says Phoebe it’s a girl, with a big smile Grams wanted the female Halliwell tradition to continue, Piper had 2 boys. “Oh she is so beautiful, Phoebe , what is her name” . With a devilish smile knowing how exicted Grams will get. Phoebe said I named her Penny Patricia” with a shock but elated happiness Grams said “ I an so honored, and that was very thoughtful naming her after your Grams”. Grams looked at both Piper and Phoebe and said this is a very special day not only will we perform little Penny’s wiccaning but it has been 5 years since you won the big battle. “The elders decided to give both of you a very special gift, and it is time that you both are ready” grams said. As Grams turned towards the circle of candles still lit from her entrance, once again ( Colourful lights swirl inside the candle circle ) this time it was longer then usual for that someone to appear as if it was for dramatic effect. Piper and Phoebe both were eagerly awaiting to see what grams was talking about, then it happened something that they were both so longing to see. With tears streaming down their faces and their hearts filled with joy both Piper and Phoebe in unison said her name “PRUE”. Prue also with a smile on her face walked out of the circle of candles and became corporeal like grams. Piper and Prue immediately rushed to her and hugged her and didn’t want to let go, The original Power of Three, the original Charmed Ones or more importanly the three sisters are together once again. Piper and Phoebe have been waiting for what seemed forever to see and be with their beloved Prue who died at the hands of Shax, those many years ago. Grams interuppted and said girls, she is here for today only as a special visit. Piper and Phoebe understanding what grams said but too excited to let that statement sink in and know their time is very limited. “I’ve been watching over you on your many adventures and I can say that I’m very proud of how you handled things and how much you have grown and matured, of course I haven’t gotten any older ( with a little smirk on her face ) “Cute” Piper says, remembering how competitive and sassy Prue can be. “So…. Tell us what it is like up there” phoebe asked. Prue responded “ You know I’m not allowed to say but I can tell you I’m very happy and can finally let you know that Andy and I are able to be together without distractions,demons,excuses or any obstacles that we had down here” ( Andy was Prue’s 1st love , they grew up together and rekinddled their love right after she learned she had became a witch, after all that they went through in that first year and with Andy finding out her secret, Andy was killed by a demon trying to protect Prue. Little did anyone know at that time that only 2 short years later Prue would be gone also but she was able to be reuntied with Andy in Heaven ). It has been an hour since Prue reunited with her sisters, Paige was already coming over for the wiccaning but she had other things on her mind. After opening the door at Phoebe’s house, Paige yells out “Guys we have a demonic problem” she turned the corner and saw Phoebe and Piper sitting, she could see both of their faces but saw the back of someone’s head. Piper and Phoebe looked up and Paige said “OOP’s, (with a cringe in her mouth, like she made a mistake saying the demon word out loud) I didn’t know you were going to have company over today, especially today of all days”. Both Piper and Phoebe stood up and with a big smile on their face ( Paige thought to herself that’s a weird reaction ) Piper said “ Paige I want to introduce you to someone very special, this is your sister PRUE”. Prue stood up and turned around and for the first time ever Paige finally got to meet Prue. They both smiled and Paige said (chocked up but able to get the words out) “ I’m so glad to meet you”, Prue said “Nice to meet you too….. (paused for a moment) then said “sis”.Ever since Paige reconstituted the power of three, she heard the stories of how powerful Prue was, how protective of her sisters Prue was and she was the best at her craft. Paige always felt she needed to become as good as Prue to be truly accepted by Piper and Phoebe, of course that wasn’t the case but she put that undo pressure on herself. Paige said “ok, I’m a little confused, what’s going on”. Phoebe spoke up and said Prue was sent to us for today only not only for penny’s wiccaning but as a special reward for winning the final battle”. “Yeah, about that !” Paige said. Before she said another word Grams entered the room with some cookies and tea. The minute she set that down on the table Paige let out a warm and elongated “Grams” they both hugged and paige said it’s nice to see you again. Piper still the worrier said “ok, Paige spill, what’s going on ?” with the curl of Paiges lip, which she does when she thinks she’s in trouble and a tilt of her head said “ I left my agency like I do everyday for a walk and say this little old lady by the tree I stop at, she looked like she was having a hard time getting up so I bent down to help her and this huge branch came swinging towards us, I used magic to avoid us both from getting hurt but as soon as that was over, her eyes glowed with fire and then she vanished”.Phoebe said “ she was probably testing you to see if you had powers, maybe if you are just magical or maybe even if you are a Charmed One”. Piper chimed in with a disappointed “paige” as to say why did you have to do that.Paige said “Sorry, How was I suppose to know she was a demon”, just then Prue spoke up and said “it’s ok Paige you did the right thing, we just need to figure out what she is up to”, with a smile and a nod paige said “thank You, Prue”. Piper called Leo at the manor, he already was home from running magical school for the day “Honey can you bring Wyatt and Chris over to Phoebe’s house”, Leo responded “ok, I thought we weren’t suppose to come over until later tonight”, “Yeah, the plans have changed, Paige found a demon for us to fight so I need you to watch penny while we do our thing” Piper said. Leo got the kids together and walked across the street to Phoebe’s house. Piper wanted to walk over to the manor to read the book of shadows to see if they could maybe find out about their newest demon but Paige wanted to show off in front of Prue so she orbed Piper,Phoebe,Grams and Prue to the attic where the book of shadows still remains. After going through the book cover to cover several times a frustrated paige said I can’t find her in here anywhere, everyone was looking at each other stumped and frustrated except for Prue she was looking around the attic looking at things and going through her memories of the years she spent there. Just then the demon that Paige ran into appeared in the attic and the old lady that could hardly stand up on her own turned into a beautiful young women she said “Aww, don’t be frustrated ladies, the fun is about to start”, she grabbed the person closet to her and disappeared, it was Prue.”Geez, can’t we have a normal family reunion or a peaceful wiccaning for that matter” Piper said, Phoebe said with a sarcastic tone “Well, Prue is dead,so it’s not really a normal family reunion” Piper in her usual funny frustration said you know what I mean. Grams the logical and most experienced said “ladies,Ladies, we need to focus, we need to get Prue back for penny’s blessing tonight”. “And how do you propose us to do that, she isn’t in the book of shadows, Prue isn’t really alive so we can’t scry ( a supernatual lowjack so to speak ) for her, we have no clues” a frustrated Piper said also mumbeling under her breath “the final battle, the final battle” a sarcastic comment on they all thought that was the last time they would have to deal with a major demon. Again the Demon re-appeared, this time with no Prue. “Where is Prue, What do you want from us?” Paige asked . My name is Astarte paige interuppted “The Spirit Queen of the dead ?” Phoebe gave Paige a confused look, “I read a lot” paige said with a roll of her eyes.”Yes !” answered Astarte . I want you to conjure Alastor “What is he an ex-demon boyfriend of something” piper said with a acerbic tone. Your side has become to powerful vanquishing the source, (which time, phoebe said with a smile) Astarte continued but with a little more annoyance, after the source,the avators, Zankou and Billie and Christy in the big battle just to name a few. Alastor is a powerful demon called the executioner . Piper is her usual summary said “ So, let me get this straight you want us to summon a poweful demon known as the executioner so he can kill innocents and probably us ?”. “You have 2 hours of your beloved sister Prue we be caught in between her corporeal body and her spiritual body she will endure torture and pain unimaginable for eternity” Astarte then disappeared. “What are we going to do grams” piper said. You are going to sumon Alastor and Astarte will regret the day she went up against the power of three, the power of four you mean with a wink of the eye by Phoebe referring to Prue. Exactly 2 hours later Astarte appeared and said “Time is up” . “We want Prue, here now !” demanded Piper. With a wave of her hand Prue appeared unharmmed but still bound by a lazer rope that wraps around he feet and legs, with a little humor Prue said “ You see why I don’t visit more often”. “Enough” Astarte said forcefully. “Alright,Alright relax for a few minutes, it’s not everyday we conjure a demon executioner” Paige said with a twinge of humor. The girls had a smoking pot with some type of potion, they threw in the picture of Alastor from the book of shadows and with a few words the whole room started to fill with white smoke then black smoke then finally red smoke, then with a blazing bright light Alastor appeared and as evil and horrifying as the picture shown in the book of shadows.With some grunting and menacing noises Alastor looked very much alive. Astarte was very pleased, Piper said “let Prue GO !” with a flip of the wrist the laser ropes disappeared. With a satisfied and evil smile Astarte said to Alastor “Kill them, Kill them all”. Alastor looked at Astarte with a menacing face and with a deep and ferocious voice said “Why would I want to do that dear” . Taken back by that weird statement Astarte looked confused and puzzled. Then with a swirl Alastor turned back into Grams. Astarte was tricked. Before she could do anything the power of four Prue,Piper,Phoebe and Paige read the vanquishing spell, Astarte started screaming in pain while the flames engulfed her body then disappears. Prue speaks up “ You can’t mess with sisters” they all smile. Now that their adventure is over everyone including Leo,Coop and Henry ( Piper,Phoebe and Paige’s husbands are there. GRAMS: (reciting) I call forth from space and time Matriarchs from the Halliwell line, Mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, (Behind GRAMS, white whisps of spirits move in the open area.) GRAMS: (reciting) Our family spirit without end, to gather now in this sacred place (Behind GRAMS, a white gold light flares as all the Matriarchs in their various ghostly/spiritual forms appear. They're dressed in the clothes of their own time period.) GRAMS: (reciting) and help us bring this child to grace. (Matriarchs young and old all stand behind GRAMS to bless WYATT. GRAMS turns around to address the Matriarchs.) GRAMS: The next generation has been born into our family, our legacy. Grams turns to Phoebe and Coop as they give penny to Grams to hold GRAMS: We pledge to be with this child, this beautiful girl, my namesake, always. Apart, but never separate, free, but never alone. She is one of us and because of that, we will bless her with all the goodness that we are. Welcome to the family, Penny Patricia Halliwell (GRAMS kisses Penny on her cheek) GRAMS: Blessed be. THE MATRIARCHS: Blessed be. The whole family says Blessed be. Phoebe and Piper are happy with the ceremony but also very sad because they know it is time for Prue to go back and they don’t know when they will see her again. Again with tears in their eyes the look upon Prue. Prue walks over to paige and says you have become a powerful and compasionate witch/whitelighter there is no one that could have done a better job of keeping the power of three going, you are as good as I ever was and with you here I feel the charmed ones will be just fine.With a embarrassed glance down after looking at Prue, Paige manages a smile although she felt like crying because she finally was able to meet her last sister and feels validated after all her work to be an important part of the charmed ones. Next Prue walks over to Piper and Phoebe and gives each of them a long hug and a kiss on the cheek. Prue seeing the tears in their eyes try’s to releave some of their pain “ You know as long as you have me in your heart and your memories I will never be gone , besides we all will be together again someday” Smiling through their tears in the Colourful swirl of lights The matriarchs vanish , grams vanishes then before Prue vanishes she has a wink and a smile for her sisters. Thank You, Yes I did write it. I always wanted closure with Prue for the Charmed Ones.
