A Charmed Life: Melinda Warren or Phoebe Halliwell
�A week since Piper was brought back and Phoebe was lost,� Prue said.

�We know,� Leo said.

�I just don�t understand why she wasn�t brought back when I was,� Piper said.

�Maybe she was,� Cole said.

�What do you mean,� Piper said.

�Leo she died� Cole said giving him a clue as what he was thinking.

�She might of lost her memory of being Phoebe Halliwell,� Leo said.

�Then she�s back,� Prue said.

�Yes we just need to find her,� Cole said.

�What could she possibly do in a week,� Piper asked.


Phoebe woke up to the sunlight in her room and humming of Rebecca.  She stepped out of her bed and began to get dressed as she started her day.  It had been a week since Michael found her and three days since she had a agreed to marry Nicolas at Michael and Elizabeth wedding.


�Hey Rebecca,� Phoebe said.

�Good morning Melinda,� Rebecca said as Elizabeth entered.

�It settled in 2 weeks you and Nicolas are to marry,� Elizabeth said.

�Who told you,� Melinda asked.

�Michael�he asked if they could use our house for the reception since we uses his for ours,� Elizabeth said.

�Two weeks�we should start if you�re going to have a dress,� Rebecca said.

�Yes we should,� Phoebe said forcing a smile.


She had never dreamed he want to get married this fast she knew that Michael and the other men were helping him build an extra room, but two weeks.  She just started to go back to setting the table for breakfast and help bring the food to the table.  There costumes were strange different from what she was used to, but she couldn�t remember what she was used to. One was a woman can�t live alone she must live in her father�s house or the oldest living male of her family house.  For Rebecca that would be her older brother Michael since her father die 2 years before and her mother died 6 months before that. 


Cole and Prue had been through every part of the book they could get, but Cole refused to touch the book.  Prue used to think that was a good idea since he was a demon, but she really needed his help and that meant him touching the book.  Leo still couldn�t get a reading on Phoebe and that6 scared everyone more then if she was lost in the past.  Then it hit Cole what could have happen, but he needed to get proof and that meant touch the book of shadows.


�Prue�let me help you,� Cole said sitting next to her and the book.

�Cole your good now,� Prue said.

�I know�for Phoebe�if I die,� Cole began. 

�Cole,� Prue said as she closed the book.


His hand went over to her side where the book laid closes since Prue closed it.  Leo and Piper watched from afar in silence hoping that he could touch the book.  He held his breath and kept saying over and over, for Phoebe in his head.  His hand went down and touched the cover and nothing happen.  He opened the cover and smiled because here he was a half demon touching the Charmed Ones Book of Shadows.  This was every demon and warlocks dream to have this book with in their grasp and he was using it for good.


�I found it,� Cole said.

�What�found what,� Piper said.

�About 100 years ago a group of witched banned together and left this realm and made there own realm,� Cole said.

�So,� Piper said.

�She was lost in this realm since she died,� Cole said. 

�She died in the past,� Piper said.

�She still died� some how she was sent there with no memory of who she really is,� Cole said.

�But she died in the future before and was sent here perfectly safe,� Prue said.

�Yes but the elders sent you there,� Leo said.

�So who are these people,� Piper said.

They call them selves The Pilgrims of Witches,� Cole said.

�How original,� Piper said.  

�So how do we get Phoebe back,� Prue said.

�I can orb Piper there and Cole can shimmer you there,� Leo said.

�That mean you�ll have to hold my hand again,� Cole said with a smile.


There was just one problem that had no idea about in that realm time moves faster then it does in their realm.  Phoebe was only hours away from getting married.  Rebecca of course could see the unhappiness in her eyes and wondered if this was the right thing to do.  After 3 weeks she would marry and be apart of this community forever with no way out.  They all knew of their heritage of being witches, but gave it up generations ago.


�Michael,� Rebecca said.

�Rebecca there is no way to send her back and she was sent here for reason,� Michael said.

�And you think it is to be married to the greediest man in this community,� Rebecca said.

�Rebecca,� Michael said.


Rebecca saw there was no way she was going to get Michael help to stop this wedding so she just left.  Maybe she could get Melinda to remember something more about who she is.  Rebecca walked out of the room and started her way towards where Phoebe was.  There she was standing with Elizabeth putting the last touched to her dress that had spent every last minutes making.


�Rebecca could you help Melinda I need to go help in the kitchen,� Elizabeth said.   

�Of course,� Rebecca said.

�How do I look,� Melinda said.

�Well Melinda Warren you look like a princess,� Rebecca said.

�Phoebe,� Phoebe said.

�What,� Rebecca said.

�You said Melinda and I thought of the name Phoebe,� Phoebe said.

�Are you sure you don�t remember anything,� Rebecca said.

�A little�want to hear.  I know Michael doesn�t like it,� Phoebe said.

�Yes,� Rebecca said.

�I sort of remember this man he has blue eyes brown hair and great smile.  Then there are two woman I know then there close to me, and have dark hair and this other man he had blond hair he was very kind,� Phoebe said.

�What about names,� Rebecca said.

�No�not accept for Phoebe�Phoebe Halliwell.  She might be one of the woman I talked about,� Phoebe said.


�Are you sure we haven�t went back in time again,� Piper said.

�No these people want it this way�no technology,� Cole said.

�Let�s find Phoebe,� Prue said.

�This way,� Cole said.


They began to walk down the walkway and hide when a group of woman came down the road talking about a wedding.  As they went out of sight they began there walk again this time they turned left and walked for what seemed like endless time.  Then a Rebecca walked up to them from the behind wondering where these people come from.


�Excuse me,� Rebecca said.

�Oh my god,� Piper said.

�Who are you and what do you want,� Rebecca said.

�We�re looking for our sister,� Prue said and Rebecca took a good look them.

�Blond hair man, two dark haired woman, and brown haired man,� Rebecca said.

�What,� Cole said.

�Melinda Warren�is she your sister,� Rebecca said.

�No our sister name is Phoebe Halliwell,� Piper said.

�Thank god�come quick she�s to be married.  I was asked to leave because I want to stop the wedding,� Rebecca said.

�She�s only been here a week,� Cole said.

�Three actually she doesn�t want to marry him but she feels she must,� Rebecca said.
�Lets go,� Prue said.

�Who are you,� Rebecca asked.

�Cole Turner I�m her boyfriend,� Cole said.


Cole saw Phoebe her hair was pinned up to her head with a few strains that shaped her face.  The dress went to the ground and was long sleeved.  He knew the dress wasn�t something Phoebe Halliwell would wear but maybe something this Melinda Warren would.


�We need to stop this wedding,� Rebecca said.

�Phoebe,� Cole yelled.


Phoebe�s head turned to see the man that had been in her dreams for almost two weeks now.  His eyes met hers and the pastor hadn�t stopped at Nicolas request.  Cole shimmered himself and Prue up to her and everyone was speechless at this.  She pulled away from Nicolas and started at the two and just looked at them for a little bit.  Leo told Rebecca to get away before anyone saw her. 


�I know you�all four of you,� Phoebe said as Leo and Piper came to stand next to Prue and Cole.

�I�m Prue and this is Piper�we�re your sister�this is Leo Piper�s husband and Cole your boyfriend,� Prue said.

�She needs some to trigger the memory,� Leo said looking at Cole.


Cole put his hand forward to touch her face and she closed her eyes, she knew he had done this before.  Nicolas stood there getting very angry at this display and this man touching his wife to be.  Phoebe eyes were still closed when Cole let his lips gently touch hers.  He pressed his lips harder against hers, when he felt hand on the back of his shirt pulling him away.


�Stay away from my wife,� Nicolas said as Phoebe was still in a gaze. 

�Think of something she would know,� Leo said.

�The power of three will set us free,� Prue and Piper said and Phoebe looked up.  

�Nicolas get you hands off my boyfriend,� Phoebe said.

�Melinda sweetie we are married,� Nicolas said.

�No we are not for two reasons.  One I am not Melinda Warren so you didn�t marry me and two I never said I do,� Phoebe said.

�Then who are you,� Michael asked.

�Phoebe Halliwell,� Phoebe said.


Cole had stood up and walked up to Prue and Piper who also had smiles on their faces.  Leo just hugged Piper who whispered a thank you.  Phoebe turned around and smiled at Cole who walked back up to her.  She wrapped her arms around his and kissed him.  Prue just watched them really wanting to get home and see Bane and tell him about this.


�Phoebe about,� Cole said.

�Forget about it�can we home because I really need to change,� Phoebe said. 

�Phoebe,� Nicolas said.

�Nicolas I am leaving to go home with my family�I�m sure there is some girl who will marry you just not me,� Phoebe said.

�I will not except this�as long as you are here you are mine,� Nicolas said as Cole took Phoebe hand.

�Then I guess we should leave,� Cole said and Prue took his hand.


Leo put his arms around Piper and all five disappeared in a shimmer and a blue light.  Everyone watched as they were there and then were not.  A few women looked up glad that Nicolas was once again looking for a bride, but he was not.  They were once again in the manor living room and Phoebe looked at them, and gave them a big smile.  She felt bad that she never got the chance to say goodbye to Rebecca who she knew had some part in this. 


�I have to call Bane,� Prue said.

�I have to get to the club,� Piper said.

�I have to change,� Phoebe said and all three were off in different direction.

�They spend a week looking for her and now that she is back they do nothing,� Cole said.

�There women,� Leo said.

�I head that,� all three said.


That night all three sisters came in laughing and smiling and it was a sight all three men enjoyed to see.  Phoebe had cut hair and got a different hairstyle but it was close to one she had a year ago.  She was in a navy blue skirt that came a little above the knees along with a black sleeveless shirt.  Prue was in a gray spaghetti strapped shirt and black pants, while Piper wore a dark purple short sleeve dress. 


�Welcome back Phoebe,� Bane said.

�It�s good to be back,� Phoebe said as she took a seat next to Cole.

�What I don�t understand is why Prue wasn�t sent in the past,� Bane said.

�Because Leo and Cole each did something in the past that could change the future,� Piper said.


The night went fast for the six people and Cole and Phoebe were the first leave.  Piper and Leo stayed a little longer to close up, and Bane and Prue stayed to dance a little longer.  Cole and Phoebe decided to walk the distance to manor just to feel the other close to them.


�I�m glad you back,� Cole said as Phoebe opened the door.

�Me too,� Phoebe said.


She closes the distance between then and started to pull him up stairs and he followed her lead.  His shirt was the first thing to hit the floor of her bedroom.  His hand went up her shirt and lifted it up and over her head.  Both falling on the bed closes were off in the short time it took.  Both had a need to be full filled and sense of closeness that they thought they had loss and needed to know they didn�t.  


�God I love you,� Cole said.

�I love you too,� Phoebe said resting her head on his chest.

�Phoebe I know you said forget about it�but it still hurts that I killed you,� Cole said.

�Cole�I know it hurts�but you were a different Cole back then you weren�t my Cole,� Phoebe said. 

�I know�but I killed you,� Cole said.

�I�m here right now�you still killed Kat Larson I was just there to witness it,� Phoebe said.

�No one else would forgive me you know,� Cole said.

�Prue and Piper have,� Phoebe said.

�But I didn�t stab them,� Cole said.


Phoebe could see that this was really bothering him and instead of saying something she sat up and put her arms out to hug him.  He accepted them and she knew that this wouldn�t be easy for him, because he knew that he killed what looked like Kat Larson but really was Phoebe Halliwell.  So she would be there to comfort him in anyway she could and in anyway he would let her.


�Ok Mr. And Mrs. Wyatt how do you know my grandmother,� a woman said.

�She served with my grandfather�Leo Wyatt,� Leo said.

�Is that who you are named after,� she said. 

�Yes and you are,� Leo said.

�Gabrielle�but my grandmother calls me Piper after an old friend of hers,� Gabrielle said.

�How did you get nickname Piper,� Piper asked.

�My middle name�Gabrielle Piper Jackson,� Gabrielle said.


�I�ll be in the other room if you need me,� Gabrielle said.

�Sara,� Piper said.

�Who is it,� Sara asked.

�Hell-O Sara�you want me to cook,� Piper said.

�Piper�Piper Halliwell,� Sara said.

�Yes�told I�d come and see you,� Piper said.

�Leo you don�t look any different then the last time I saw you,� Sara said.

�Thanks you look good to,� Leo said.

�You were never a good liar,� Sara said.

�Sara this is Phoebe and Prue my sisters and their boyfriends Cole and Bane,� Piper said. 

�Nice to met you all finally,� Sara said.

�Same here,� Prue said.

�Piper I have something for you,� Sara said.

�What,� Piper said.

�Jimmy made me make them�he could tell the difference right away so I told him,� Sara said handing her a box.  

�How is Jimmy,� Piper asked.

�He became a doctor and then a teacher.  He married and had five children the first one was a girl named Phoebe after your sister�I had already named my daughter Piper,� Sara said.


The hours went on and on like this but soon it was time for them to go and Piper and Sara said goodbye.  Piper promised to come at least once a week to see her and Gabrielle said that would nice.  They walked out with the unopened box that Sara had given her that was from Jimmy.  Cole and Phoebe sat in the front and on the way home Piper opened the box, to find several drawings that Jimmy made for her, pictures from her time there, and Picture of Leo in his uniform. 


�We really do have a charmed life,� Piper said.

�Why do you say that,� Leo said.

�Well we were friends in the past and husband and wife now�I wonder what our future selves will be like,� Piper asked.

�Only fate knows,� Leo said.
