Prequel Two
(Two years after prequel one)

It was a dark and stormy day at the manor, and the power was out. The adults and Julia were in the living room talking, and the others were scattered throughout the house.
Piper: Kids! Get down here, come on!
Leo: Honey, that's never going to work...
Piper: Oh, fine. Powers of the witches rise
          Course unseen across the skies
          Come to us who call you near
          Come to us and settle here.
The nine kids appeared in the living room.
Kathryn: Dammit Aunt Piper, we were in the middle of something, why�d you have to summon us?!
Piper looks over at Lindsay and sees that she has a black eye and several burn marks.
Piper: What exactly were you doing?
Kathryn: *Does �innocent� face* Nothing�
Prue: We know you were fighting. Now you can either tell us why, or I can use magic and make you tell me.
Kathryn: I�m not telling, use your magic, mom. What do you plan on doing?
Prue: This is the part where you tell me why you were fighting, and I punish you.
Karoline: Punishment, mom�s favorite part of parenthood�
Kelly: No, I though her favorite thing was making us do all the chores.
Karoline: Punishment!
Kelly: Chores!
Unbeknownst to Prue, Kelly and Karoline didn�t care about chores or punishment. They were simply creating a diversion so Kathryn had time to think of a good lie.
Prue: Shut up you two, or there will be chores and punishment for all of you!
Karoline: We�re so frightened!
Kelly: Beware her wrath!
Prue: That�s enough!
Kelly: Yeah it is. Why don�t you go clean my room, neat freak?!
Karoline: You�d mess it up in five minutes; you�re a total slob!!
Kelly: NEAT FREAK!!
Karoline: SLOB!!!!!
Prue: I SAID THAT�S ENOUGH! Kathryn, I am giving you one last chance. Tell me what the fight was about.
Kathryn: Make me.
Prue: Why do you insist on being so stubborn?
Phoebe: The pot�s calling the kettle black�
Prue: What�s that supposed to mean?!
Paige: Honestly. You act like her stubbornness is so surprising.
Prue: It is.
Paige: If you want to know where she got it, just look in the mirror!
Prue: I am NOT STUBBORN!!
Piper: Then just ground her and be done with it.
Prue: No! I must know what caused the fight! I must!!
Paige: I rest my case.
Prue: You�re wasting time. Kathryn?
Kathryn: Well mom, it all started when Emily was bored. She cast a spell to vanish my Gamecube. I thought Lindsay cast the spell, so I stormed into their room looking for something to destroy. When I got there, I saw that Emily had possessed Lindsay with fear. Her intentions were to use Lindsay to attack me so she wouldn�t get in trouble. We fought, and I was winning. Then you summoned us down here.
Piper: *shocked* Emily! Magic for personal gain?! Lindsay! Fighting with you cousin?! Larissa! Where were you? Why didn�t you try to stop this? �You�re all grounded! And�you can do their chores�*gestures towards Kelly/Karoline/Kathryn* for a month..
Emily: But�but!
Larissa: This is so unfair!
Piper: Shall we make it two?
Lindsay: She�s lying! I never�
Piper: Two months.
Leo: Don�t you think this is a little harsh?
Piper: Leo, they used magic for personal gain. They need to learn not to misuse their powers.
Doorbell: Ding!
Andy: Pizza�s here!
Everyone heads for the kitchen. Kelly, Karoline, and Kathryn stand there, surprised.
Karoline: No chores for TWO MONTHS?!!
Kelly: Damn�you�re good�
Kathryn: Yeah�I know�
The three of them all knew Kathryn�s story was just an excuse to go in and beat up on Lindsay, but they knew better than to tell any adult.
Kelly: You should beat up Lindsay more often�
Karoline: Let�s go eat�

The next day, the power was still off, and the old drafty house was getting cold.
Lauren: Mom, it�s so cold. When will the power be back?
Paige: I don�t know, Lauren. It could be out all week.
Lauren: ALL WEEK?!
Kelly and Karoline overheard this news and went upstairs to the attic, where they found Kathryn playing with the Book of Shadows. Kathryn would open the Book, and Grams would close it, and Kathryn would keep opening it.
Kelly: We need a spell to heat this house!
Kathryn: I have one, say this with me:
Flamma aeterna incalfacio algidus villa!
White lights swept around the house. 
Kathryn: Quick! Take my hand, we�ll orb out so they don�t know it was us.
The three orb out just as Leo orbs in. Leo doesn�t see them, but he knows someone has cast a spell, because the house is rapidly heating up to 100 degrees.
Prue: FAMILY MEETING! IF I HAVE TO USE THE SPELL THERE�S GOING TO BE TROUBLE!!!!!
Everyone who can orbs to the living room, and those who can�t run as fast as they can.
Phoebe: Soo�hot�
Prue: Who cast the �heat spell�? Oh, and by the way, if nobody owns up to it, I�ll just punish all of you *way too enthusiastic*.
Kathryn, whispered, to Karoline and Kelly: Who do we want to bust for this one?
Kelly, whispered: Go with�Emily again.
Kathryn shrinks down and does the cute innocent voice: Well mommy, you have to understand that I didn�t want to do this. Emily was complaining about the cold, *Emily winces, knowing that she is about to be blamed for another thing she didn�t do* but she didn�t want to get in trouble for personal gain. She made a fear ball and held it to my head. She did the same to Kelly and Karoline, and she made us recite some spell that she wrote. We begged and pleaded, but we could not escape. 
Piper: EMILY! We�ve tried to explain why you can�t use magic for personal gain, but you STILL don�t understand. To restrain all three of them, you must have had help. Who else was involved?
Emily didn�t want to get her sister in trouble, but she also did not want to do more chores than were necessary.
Emily: Lindsay and Larissa helped me.
Piper: Okay. You can do their chores for FOUR months. 
Lindsay, Emily, and Larissa knew better than to protest.
Cole: Do you know how to reverse said spell?
Kelly: I don�t know if that�s possible. The spell was Latin.
Kathryn fetches the spell from the attic and hands it to Piper.
Piper: What does this mean?
Kathryn reads the spell to herself.
Kathryn: It�s asking the eternal flame to heat this cold house.
Phoebe: Well, let�s tell the eternal flame to go away.
Prue: Phoebe. It�s the ETERNAL FLAME. Do you REALLY THINK that it�s just going to GO AWAY?!
Andy: Honey, there�s no reason to get upset�
Prue: OF COURSE THERE IS!!! IT�S 100 DEGREES IN HERE! BECAUSE OF AN IRREVERSIBLE SPELL!
Paige: Chill out, Prue. We can reverse it.
Phoebe: Yeah, watch this. *Stands up* ETERNAL FLAME, LEAVE US!!!
Nothing happens. Everyone looks at Phoebe as if she�s insane.
Phoebe: What, it was worth a shot�
Leo: You kids should just go upstairs. We�ll figure this out.
As soon as they got upstairs, Emily put Kathryn in a headlock and dragged her into the library room. Larissa and Lindsay walk up behind her so Kathryn is surrounded.
Emily: What do you have against us?
Kathryn: W�what do you mean?
Larissa: Don�t think we haven�t noticed how you always blame us for everything you do.
Lindsay: We want to know why. Tell us now.
Kathryn: Make me.
Emily: Okay�
Lindsay and Larissa grab Kathryn�s arms and restrain her. Emily kicks her hard in the shins.
Emily: Don�t even think about calling for your sisters. We�ve protected this room with a spell. Nobody can come in or out, even if they orb. No one can help you now.
Larissa: And, I�ve protected it with an illusion. Anyone who comes to the door will see us sitting quietly and reading. 
Lindsay: You see, we�ve got you right where we want you.
Larissa: We want revenge for all the chores and punishment you�ve been dumping on us lately.
Emily: It�s payback time.
Emily punches Kathryn in the stomach. Kathryn doesn�t look hurt, so Emily decides to improve her weaponry. She pulls her aluminum softball bat out of the closet. She whacks Kathryn below the ribs several times, causing her to double over. Emily takes this opportunity to do a rising knee strike, breaking Kathryn�s nose. Lindsay and Larissa release her, and she falls to the ground.
Kathryn, dazed and bleeding: W-What do you w-w-want?
Emily: Simple. We want you to tell our parents that you�ve been doing all the bad personal gain magic and that you lied to get us in trouble.
Kathryn: O-okay�I�ll tell them the truth.
Lindsay: Oh and one more thing: If I were you, I wouldn�t mention this incident to them.
Kathryn gets up on her hands and knees, so Lindsay and Larissa promptly kick her in the ribs. 
Emily: Now get outta here!
Kathryn crawls across the floor and out the door to Karoline and Kelly who are waiting outside.
Kathryn: T-they�
Kelly: We know what happened. We�ve been out here listening.
Karoline: We won�t let them hurt you any more.
Kathryn: They threatened me. They said I can�t tell the adults.
Lauren came running down the hallway and healed Kathryn.
Lauren: How�d this hap�
Karoline freezes her.
Kelly: Why�d you do that?
Karoline: Should we tell her what happened?
Kathryn: No. She�d tell someone else. I�ll say I tripped over my own feet. She�ll laugh at me, but it�s better than our parents knowing about this before we can think of a good explanation.
Piper, from downstairs: Come on down, lunchtime!
Everyone goes to the kitchen.
Paige: I have finally figured out a way to get the truth�we�ll use this truth spell!
Prue: Okay Paige, cast away!
Paige recites the truth spell, and small yellow lights fly into everyone. 
Vicki: Yay! Let�s test it. Kathryn, how do you feel about your powers?
Kathryn: I love my fireballs more than any material possession and wish mom would let me vanquish a demon. Everyone else has vanquished one, why can�t I?
Phoebe: Prue�What do you think of me?
Prue: Though I admire your courage and fearlessness, I find your utter lack of organization to be annoying.
Phoebe: The spell worked.
Prue: Okay then let�s not waste any time here. Kathryn, were you involved in either of our recent personal gain incidents?
Kathryn: Well�yeah�they were my ideas, but I blamed them on Emily so I wouldn�t get in trouble. 
Piper: So, Emily hasn�t done any bad magic for personal gain lately?
Kathryn: I wouldn�t say that�s entirely true�
Piper: Elaborate.
Emily: We used magic earlier today to torture Kathryn so she would own up to the magic she�s been doing lately. You didn�t know because Lauren healed her.
Prue: My daughter the liar and my niece the sadist were fighting again. Honestly. You two deserve each other�
Piper: I guess you�re both even. Let�s just call off all punishments. Next time, though, we won�t be so nice.
Kathryn: I�ll stop using magic for personal gain�
Paige: Okay, I guess we can just reverse the spell now. 
Paige reverses the spell. Everyone finishes eating and gets up from the table when a demon shimmers in. 
Prue: Someone freeze him!
Karoline freezes the demon.
Prue: �Kathryn? Do you want to vanquish him?
Kathryn: Yeah!
The demon unfreezes. Kathryn throws a jet of fire at the demon.
Demon: *catches fire* Aaaag! *explodes*
Suddenly the manor starts to swirl around in circles. Everyone is knocked out. Five minutes later. People start waking up. Kathryn stands up and realizes that something isn�t right, because she is roughly a foot taller than usual. She looks around the room and sees cattle prods and various weapons on the walls. Then she sees someone standing on the other side of the room.
Kathryn: Karoline?!
Karoline: Kathryn?!
Kathryn: This is so weird. We�re like, ten years older!
Karoline: Your hair! What did you do to it?!
Kathryn looks in the mirror and sees that her once�blonde hair has been dyed fiery red.
Kathryn: Awesome!
Karoline: Whoa, look at your hand.
Kathryn: Damn�! How the hell did that happen?
Karoline: More importantly, what are we doing here? We�ve assumed the roles of our future selves, but why? Let�s go see if anyone else knows.
Kathryn and Karoline walk down to the living room where they meet the 8 others.
Emily: Whoa! This is so not fair! Future Kathryn is taller than I am!
Lindsay: I feel your pain.
Julia: That�s not really important. Why are we here?
A demon walks into the room.
Demon: So I can destroy you.
Kelly: Look at that demon, Karoline! She looks like you, but two years younger! Isn�t that cute!
Demon: Don�t call me cute! I�m Kourtney. I�m a violent and destructive demon. And I play trombone in my spare time.
Kathryn: Cool! I like you already!
Kourtney: You�re not supposed to!
Kourtney throws a tiny energy ball at Kathryn.
Kathryn: Ow?
Julia: Bad evil Karoline clone, bad!
Kourtney: I am NOT a Karoline clone! By the way, I�m going to send you to the past and kill you there.
Vicki: Okay, if that�s what your evil plan is�
Kourtney: Aren�t you the least bit frightened?
Amanda: Not really�
Kourtney: Fine! Be that way!
Lindsay: Right. Like you, a little tiny Karoline clone, have the power to send us back in time�Sure.
Kourtney: How many times must I say this: I AM NOT A KAROLINE CLONE!!!
Karoline: I don�t think she looks like me�much.
Emily: Then who are you?
Kourtney: I am the demonic sibling Karoline had in her past life. You all have at least one demonic sibling from your past life, and we banded together to destroy you. Come to me, fellow demons!
Kippee, Lisa, Matthew, Alyse, Nikki, Weston, Jordan, Reggie, and Matt shimmer in.
Lisa: Your LEFT hand, Kippee! The one that makes an �L� when you hold it up!
Kippee: This one?
Matt: No, the other one.
Kippee: Oh, okay. What are we doing here?
Weston: Well, I�m threatening them, and you�re shutting up and trying to look like you have an IQ higher than that of a fly. *Looks menacingly at Kippee*
Kippee: Shutting up!
Kelly: You know, he really cuts down on your intimidation factor.
Amanda: Yeah, it�s hard to be afraid of someone who doesn�t know which hand is their left.
Kourtney: Fine. If you�re not scared of us, let us cast a spell. 
Kelly: When nothing happens, can we vanquish you?
Nikki: Sure, or you can keep us as your slaves to do all your housework!
Kourtney: *Elbows Nikki hard in the ribs* Don�t give them any ideas!
The demons join hands and quietly recite a spell. Once again the manor swirls around. This time when everyone wakes up, they don�t see the manor. They don�t see any houses at all�When Karoline comes to her senses, she is so surprised she falls off the horse she is sitting on.
Karoline: WHOA! *thud* Oof!
Kathryn is sitting on a horse a few feet away from Karoline. Unlike Karoline, she doesn�t fall off. Instead she climbs off and walks over to Karoline.
Kathryn: Are you okay?
Karoline: Ugh�yeah�Nice hat�
Kathryn: Huh?! Oh�
Kathryn looks down and sees that she and Karoline are wearing cowboy clothes.
Karoline: Where are we anyway?
Kathryn: Well, I guess the spell really did work.
Karoline: Darn! And I was looking forward to having slaves!
It is after dark and there is a fire burning about half a mile away.
Kathryn: Let�s go to that fire, maybe the others are there.
When Karoline and Kathryn get to the fire, they find the others, as confused as they are. They dismount, and this time neither Karoline nor Kathryn falls off their horse. They see several other horses tied to a nearby tree.
Kathryn: Hey, look at all my guns!
Lindsay: Put those down before you hurt someone!
Kathryn: Okay, I�ll just play with THIS!
She pulls a foot-long Bowie knife from a sheath on her belt.
Kathryn: Ooooh, sharp!
Kelly is over examining the contents of the saddlebags.
Kelly: We�ve got a lot of weapons�
Julia: But what for? It�s not like we have anything to guard.
Vicki *looks down at the 2-way radio in her hand*: Hey, this isn�t supposed to be here!
Amanda *looks down at the one she is holding* I guess it�s here because we were holding them when we got sent back in time, at least I assume we�re in the past, because the demons said that�s where we�d go�
Kelly: You�re rambling again�
Julia: Okay, we have to figure out how to get back.
Karoline: Maybe if our demonic siblings die, we�ll be sent back to the present. Forward to the present. Whatever�
Emily: We know what you�re trying to say, even if it doesn�t make any sense to anyone else.
Kathryn: So what should we do?
Larissa: Go take one hostage so we can question them. We might need the demonic siblings; it might be the only way to get back to our own time.
Kathryn: Can I go now?
Julia: It�s dark out, how will you see where you�re going?
Kathryn: Pleeeeeeease?
Julia: Oh, okay, if you really want to.
Kathryn: Come, Karoline.
Vicki: Take one of these radios; maybe they will give us an unfair advantage.
Karoline: All right.
Kathryn and Karoline walk over to their horses. Kathryn pulls out a big shotgun.
Karoline: Don�t use that, you�ll kill them instantly! Do you have a .22 caliber? Use that.
Kathryn: Okay, okay�Should I just, like, shoot them in the foot or something?
Karoline: Yeah, that�ll work. You can�t blast their brains out, yet�
Kathryn: Way to take the fun out of life�
Karoline: I promise you can shoot them later, or we can keep them as slaves.
Kathryn: Let�s go.
Kathryn and Karoline both mount their horses and turn on their 2-way radio. They ride off in the direction they think the siblings will be in. Suddenly, they hear gunfire on their right. They both jump off and dive into a group of bushes.
Julia: Whoa! Where are you? What happened?
Kathryn: We�re uh, in the bushes, getting shot at!
Suddenly, the world began spinning again. Everyone was knocked out. When they woke up again, they were in their own house. They could see all the adults talking in the kitchen.
Julia: What happened?
Leo: When we came home and saw you were gone, we used a spell to call you to us, and it worked. Where were you anyway?
Kelly: Long story�We�ll tell you over dinner.
Lindsay: Right now we have more fun�I mean, important things to do.
Karoline: Yeah�.
With that, all the kids went upstairs. At first Julia wanted to stay downstairs and have mature conversation with the adults, but she decided to go upstairs. She was curious about what the others did when they would just disappear for hours. 
Everyone congregated in the loft, the farthest possible room from the kitchen and adults. Julia stood just outside the door, listening.
Lindsay: What should we do?
Kathryn: Let�s stand on the railing of the balcony and try to throw each other off into the swimming pool! If you fall in the water you�re out�
Karoline: Great!
Emily: Good idea!
They went outside to the balcony. It had a railing about 9 inches wide, and it overlooked the deep swimming pool below. Julia followed, standing in the loft and watching out the window. She was sure nobody was aware of her presence.
Kelly: Okay, you all know the rules. No powers of any kind, only exception is orbing back up onto the balcony from the pool. Some people have been known to cheat--*Kelly gives a little cough that sounds strangely like �Larissa!!!!�*.
Karoline: Let�s pick teams!
Lindsay: Why bother? They�re always the same.
Karoline: What? What do you mean?
Lindsay: Well, your side always has you, Kelly, Kathryn, and Amanda. Our side has everyone else, and Lauren is the paramedic�
Lauren: How come I never get to play? I�m tired of being the healer-person!
Karoline: But it�s your responsibility Lauren. You have to watch out for us and make sure we don�t permanently injure ourselves. Besides, we�ll let you join in later.
Lauren: Oh, fine�
Kelly: You can be the commentator too! And name the matches!
Lauren: Oooh, fun�. *evil grin*
Still, nobody has noticed Julia hiding in the room nearby. She wished she had a better view. She figured this was about to get interesting. 
Lauren: First up, Karoline vs. Larissa! It�s the Battle of the Middle Sisters! Yeehaw!
Karoline and Larissa both step up onto the railing. It�s about two and a half feet high, and made of thick stone. The railing is two stories above the swimming pool.
Lauren: *rings little bell*
Karoline and Larissa grapple, each trying to win quickly. When it becomes evident that neither will make a careless mistake, they begin to use more strategic moves. They lock arms, each trying to overpower the other. Suddenly, they both fall over the edge. Kathryn walks over and looks down over the edge. She sees Larissa in the swimming pool, but no Karoline. Then she sees two hands holding onto the balcony. She reaches down and pulls Karoline back up onto the balcony.
Kelly: One zip, Hahaha!
Lauren orbs Larissa back up to the balcony. 
Emily: It�s okay, we�ll win next time.
Lauren: Next, Kelly vs. Emily!! Yahoo!
Kelly and Emily climb onto the railing.
Emily: Time to even the score.
Kelly: You wish�
Lauren: *rings little bell*
Instead of grappling, Kelly and Emily go straight to strategic planning. Both kept feigning, never actually attacking at all. After a few minutes of feigning, Emily did a little spin move, shoving Kelly off with her elbow. Kelly plummeted to the water below, and Emily hopped off the railing onto the balcony. 
Emily: Ha, what�d I tell you?
Lauren orbs Kelly back onto the balcony. By this time, Kathryn was hopping up and down with excitement. She liked anything that involved competition, especially physical violence. Lindsay was cowering in fear.
Lauren: All tied up�Well, next is Kathryn vs. Lindsay! Yippee!
Lindsay: How come I always have to be against her? It�s not fair!
Larissa: She�s younger than you. How hard could it be?
Lindsay: Think it�s easy, do ya? Why don�t you fight her?!
Larissa: I�m already out�
Kathryn: Come on, you know you�ll lose so why not get it over with?
Lindsay: Not this time! Victory will be mine!
Kathryn and Lindsay climb onto the railing. 
Lauren: *rings little bell*
Kathryn: *under breath, to Lindsay* Loser�.
Lindsay: I AM NOT!  
Lindsay runs at Kathryn as fast as possible. In one smooth motion, Kathryn dodges to the side, fakes a palm strike to the face, and sweeps. Lindsay didn�t even know what hit her. She plunged into the pool below. Kathryn stands on the railing and bows, then hops off.
Lauren orbs Lindsay back up. 
Lindsay: Ugh�
Lauren: One more chance for the Emily side to catch up. If they win this one we go to overtime! It�s Vicki vs. Amanda! Woo!
Larissa: Come on Amanda! You�re our only hope!
Amanda and Vicki climb onto the railing, and Lauren rings her bell.
Amanda: Ken will do naughty things to anyone who�s not in water in 10 seconds!
Vicki: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!! *jumps into water*
Lindsay, Emily, and Larissa: *cheer wildly*
Lauren: Well, due to this major upset, we�ll be going into overtime. Today�s overtime is�team battle! We make the railing 6 times as wide and have a 2 on 2 match! 
Lauren says a little spell and the railing grows to four and a half feet wide. 
Karoline: *looks at Kathryn* It�s up to us now�
Emily: *to Amanda* If we win, we won�t always be the underdogs!
Lauren: Karoline and Kathryn vs. Emily and Amanda! Woohoo! Exciting! Yay! Fant�
Emily: Shut up and ring the bell!
All four climb onto the railing. Lauren rings her bell. Karoline and Amanda grapple. They are standing on the edge side of the railing. Kathryn simply dodges Emily�s attacks, waiting for Karoline to finish with Amanda. After about a minute, Karoline overpowers Amanda and throws her off the edge.
Lauren: It�s a two-on-one!
Kathryn and Karoline move so that Emily is trapped with her back to the edge of the railing. Kathryn begins to move slowly forward.
Lauren: Emily�s in trouble!
Karoline: Kathryn, you back off. I want to have some fun with this before we end the match.
Kathryn: If you insist.
Karoline walks forward. She stands by Emily, slightly to her right. She watches Emily tremble, not wanting to fall over the edge but knowing she had very little chance. Karoline and Kathryn are so busy watching Emily that they do not see Larissa running toward the railing. She runs across the balcony and dives across the railing, colliding with Karoline at about knee level. Karoline is shocked, as she was not expecting Larissa to come back and haunt her. Both Karoline and Larissa fall into the pool. 
Lauren: Wow! They�re even again! Emily has new life!
Emily grapples with Kathryn, and has her near the edge of the railing. 
Kelly: No!
Karoline: Kathryn�sacrifice!
Kathryn: What?!
Karoline: If we get a tie we can go into another overtime! You can win that.
Kathryn: No�I must win!
Karoline: DO IT! 
At that moment Emily charges Kathryn. Kathryn somehow gets her arm around Emily�s shoulder, and pulls her down. They both fall down into the swimming pool.
Lauren: Whoa, it�s still tied! Guess we need to go to second overtime! This time since everyone�s out, you can choose any 2 people to do your team battle. I�ll be back in a second.
Lauren gets up and walks into the house. She walks straight into Julia, who is not paying attention.
Lauren: Julia! What are you doing here!?
Julia: Uh��I was watching you�
Lauren: Here, come outside, you can get a better view. We�re about to start second overtime. 
Lauren walks outside with Julia. She sees Karoline talking to Kathryn.
Lauren: Come on, let�s start overtime�again. This time it�s�Karoline and Kathryn vs. Larissa and Lindsay! The Emily side is going with two people fresh off the bench, whereas the Kelly side is starting the same two as last time. Do you think this will affect the outcome, co-commentator Julia?
Julia: It might. The Kelly side people look more tired than the Emily side. This might mean the difference between winning and plummeting into the pool!
Lauren: Who do you think will win?
Julia: Lindsay and Larissa have the advantage, I have to go with them.
Lauren: Are you willing to bet your high and mighty position up here on the balcony on that, sis? Because I think Karoline and Kathryn can pull it off.
Julia: Yes�I�ll bet on that�the odds look good for me. Go Lindsay and Larissa! You�re better than them and always will be!
Lauren: Enough buildup. Let�s start the match.
Karoline, Kathryn, Lindsay, and Larissa climb onto the railing. 
Lauren is about to ding the bell. Julia grabs her arm and stops her.
Julia: Can I ring the bell?
Lauren: Sure!
Julia rings the bell. Larissa and Karoline just stand, trying to stare each other down. They circle, being careful not to step too close to the edge. Lindsay and Kathryn grapple between Karoline and Larissa (Karoline can�t get to Larissa without going over or around Kathryn and Lindsay, & vice versa). Larissa and Karoline continue to circle, staring into each others� eyes. When Karoline�s back is to the edge, Larissa suddenly runs and dives headfirst through the air. She flies over Kathryn and Lindsay and is about to crash into Karoline at about shoulder level, effectively knocking her off, when Karoline does the Matrix Dodge (ya know where you lean over backwards to escape the bullets-looks cool in slow-mo). Larissa flies right over her and off the edge. 
Kelly, Vicki, Lauren: *cheer*
Lauren: Not so confident now, eh Julia�
Julia: I still stick with my original prediction. I�m officially changing the rules�powers are now allowed!
Kelly: Hey! That�s not fair!
Emily: Shut up! Yes it is!
Karoline, from railing: Hahaha, Julia�s going to lose! I love it when Julia loses!
Kathryn: *grunts* Little help here�!
Karoline: Hmmm�
Kathryn has Lindsay in an armlock and is trying to move closer to the edge, but Lindsay is fighting her and she can�t get close enough to the edge to do anything. Karoline circles them, trying to think of how to help. When she walks near the edge, an invisible force collides with her. Both she and the invisible force fall down into the water below. Emily smiled as she realized what had happened: Larissa used her powers and now it was a fair fight again!
Julia: Hmm�I guess knocking Karoline off once was not enough revenge for Larissa! Oh well, it�s all good because now I might not lose!
Karoline: Lauren! Orb me back up! 
Lauren orbs Karoline back up onto the balcony. They reach the top just in time to see Kathryn and Lindsay go over the edge.
 Kathryn: Karoline�..Help�..!
Karoline walks slowly over to the edge. She leans over it and sees Kathryn hanging onto the bottom of the balcony, and Lindsay hanging onto Kathryn�s ankle.
Kathryn: What�should�I�do?
Karoline: Hang on�
Kathryn: What�does�it�look�like�I�m�doing?
Karoline: Here�grab my hand�
Slowly, Karoline pulled Kathryn back up to the railing. Lindsay maintained her tight grip on Kathryn�s ankle, so Karoline pulled her up too. Karoline armlocked Lindsay and, being older and stronger, was able to force her slowly closer to the edge. When they got within a few inches, Karoline found she could not push Lindsay any further.
Karoline: Kathryn, knock us both off.
Kathryn: What?!
Karoline: Do it! I�ll drag her down with me.
Kathryn: Whatever you say!
Kathryn charges at Karoline, plowing into her and Lindsay. They both fall off the edge, but Kathryn stays on.
Lauren: Kelly side wins! Yeah! And I win the bet!
Julia: NOOO!
Kathryn orbs Lindsay and Karoline back up onto the balcony, on the railing. Larissa climbs onto the railing and acts like she is going to shake Karoline�s hand, then pushes Karoline off yet again!
Karoline: LARISSA! *splash*
Kathryn: Nice!
Kathryn acts like she is going to give Larissa a high five, then pushes her off to join Karoline.
Lindsay: Kathryn, truce?
Kathryn: *considers* Okay, truce.
They shake hands and neither tries to throw the other off.
Emily: I think Julia should fight someone!
Kelly: Yeah!
Julia: No, I�m older than you so I have power, I don�t have to.
Lauren: You lost the bet, so now I can make you fight people!
Julia: Oh�fine!
Everyone: Ju-li-a! Ju-li-a! (*chanting*)
Lauren: How about Julia vs� *looks around, sees Lindsay and Kathryn still standing on the balcony* Lindsay and Kathryn!
Lindsay: Aaah! No! *Lindsay cowers in fear*
Kathryn: LINDSAY! STOP COWERING IN FEAR OR I�LL CALL OFF THE TRUCE!
Julia: Okay, I�ll fight them�they�re younger than me�
Karoline: Go Lindsay and Kathryn!
Lauren: Go Julia!
Julia climbs onto the platform and Lauren rings her bell. Lindsay and Kathryn let Julia get close to them, but as soon as she is about to throw them off they crouch down and somersault through her legs. After a minute or so of this, Julia is starting to get very frustrated as her height �advantage� is used against her.
Julia: Grrr�Cannot�get�little people!
Lauren: I�ll help you!
Lauren jumps happily onto the platform, running at Lindsay just as she finishes a somersault through Julia�s legs. Being older and taller, Lauren simply picks up Lindsay and throws her off the edge.
Kathryn: Help! Noooo!
Karoline: Hey! That�s not fair!
Karoline runs and gets on the platform and starts wrestling Julia and trying to push her away from Kathryn. Kathryn charges straight at Lauren. She is about Lindsay�s height but stronger and is able to knock Lauren down. Lauren lies on the balcony flat on her back. Somehow Karoline is still holding her own against Julia, despite being younger and smaller.
Suddenly, from in the house, someone shouts.
Prue: Kids!? What are you doing?!
Kelly: Um�nothing, mom.
Prue: Then why are you standing on the balcony railing? And why are they wet?
Lindsay: We were playing Balcony War.
Prue: Well�stop doing that. Come inside now, you can�um�play video games or plot world domination�
Amanda: Okay!
