"Yeah� where did he come from? What does he want?" Piper wondered.
"No, did you see what he was wearing?" Prue asked.
"Well, Prue, at that moment, I wasn't really paying attention to whether he is wearing Versace or not�" Phoebe said and looked at Prue.
"You don't understand! I saw the color of his suit" Prue said and looked at Phoebe and Piper.
"How� how could you have seen the color?" Piper asked as they walked down stairs.
"Dark Blue" Prue said to herself.
"What?" Piper asked.
"Dark Blue was its color" Prue said and looked at her.
"But how is that possible?"
"Do you think I know?" Prue asked and walked around the room.
"Hey lighten up Prue, okay?" Phoebe said and followed Prue.
"This� this place, it's a� it gives me this feeling" Prue said with both her hands on her chest.
Phoebe and piper exchanged looks.
"A� Prue� sweetie�" Piper said as Prue walked pass her.
"We have to find out who was that Demon" Phoebe said and looked at Piper.
"No!" Prue said abruptly.
"No� What?" Phoebe asked; looking at her.
"A� I�" Prue mumbled, looking with confusion in every direction.
"What is it Prue?" Phoebe asked.
"The spell. It brought the Demon. I think�" Prue said and stopped in her place.
"We have to stop him and question him" Piper said.
"Yeah and while we're at it, offer him some cookies" Phoebe said and looked at Piper with a cynical expression on her face.
"Stop it! Just stop it., All right?" Prue said angrily and walked away.
Phoebe looked at Piper and whispered "what is the matter with her? She must have hit her head pretty badly�"
"Prue�?" Piper said and walked at Prue's direction.
She stood in the middle of a large, long hallway.
"Prue? Are you okay?" Piper asked and approached her, carefully.
"Umm� Yes. I'm sorry, I don't know what happened" Prue said and looked at Piper and Phoebe.
She looked at them with bewilderment.
"Okay�" Piper said and turned to Phoebe, "what are we gonna do now?" she asked.
"I don't know� write a spell?" she suggested.
"Nah�" Piper mumbled, "Prue, what do you think?" she asked and turned to Prue.
"I think I have to go and wake up Emma" Prue said and walked away from her sisters.
Piper and Phoebe followed her with their eyes.
She walked up the stairs but instead of going into Emma's room, she walked into hers.
She took out scissors out of a drawer and cut off the sleeves of her dress, along with the puffy skirt. She was angry, almost furious. But why?
She sat at the chest and looked at the mirror in front of her.
She looked at herself rather differently.
"Prue?" Phoebe asked as she walked into her room.
Prue looked at her angrily and stood up.
"What�? What happened to your dress Prue?" she asked, scanning Prue from head to toe.
"Excuse me" Prue said and passed Phoebe, slightly pushing her aside.
"Huh".
"Emma?" Prue said quietly as she opened the door to her daughter's room.
Her daughter lay on her bed, reading a book.
"What are you reading honey?" Prue asked and walked towards her slowly.
Phoebe walked down the stairs and towards Piper.
"What?" Piper asked.
"She cut her dress. She's kind of pissed".
"Yeah, I've noticed that�" Piper said and walked into the kitchen.
"Emma, come with me" Prue said and took Emma's hand.
She walked downstairs with her and into the living room.
"Sit down honey" Prue said and sat down beside Emma.
Phoebe and Piper walked into the living room. Slowly, Phoebe kept glancing at Emma and Prue.
"Emma, Look at me, can you see anything different about me?" Prue asked, she felt her sisters' presence in the room.
"No" Emma smiled; toying with Prue's hair.
Prue smiled and looked at her sisters with slight hesitation. She wanted to speak but couldn't.
Not in front of Emma. Not now.
"Emma," Phoebe said and looked at her.
Both Prue and Piper looked at Phoebe with surprise on their faces.
Emma looked up at Phoebe with curiosity.
Prue looked back at Emma.
"A� where's your daddy?" Phoebe asked and approached her slowly.
Prue turned to her immediately in shock and confusion.
"Phoebe!" Piper muttered through her teeth.
Phoebe looked at her, but without paying much attention.
"Daddy?" Emma asked.
"Yeah, if he's Ethan," Phoebe lowered her voice, "Prue, you should definitely get some".
Prue quickly covered Emma's ears with her hands and gave Phoebe an angry look.
"Why did I just say that�?" Phoebe asked, quietly.
"A� Emma, will you please go upstairs and play with that new doll I bought you?" Prue said without taking her eyes off of Phoebe.
"Okay" Emma said and ran out of the living room.
Piper looked at Emma as she ran up the stairs and then turned to Prue and Phoebe.
"What is the matter with you!?" Prue asked angrily and approached Phoebe slowly.
"Prue! I just needed to find out what's going on, okay? Maybe whoever her father is can help us figure this out".
"Don't you ever, and I mean ever try to hurt my little girl" Prue said firmly.
Phoebe looked straight into Prue's blue eyes.
They sparkled with anger.
"Prue� I didn't mean to�" Phoebe excused but Prue already left.
Phoebe turned to Piper and said, confused "her eyes. Sparkle. I saw it".
"Say what�?" Piper asked.
"Prue's eyes sparkled. I saw blue. Don't you see Piper? If she could see the color of the Demon's clothes and I could see Prue's blue eyes, then something is obviously changing!" Phoebe said with slight excitement in her voice.
She quickly turned around and hurried towards Prue, grabbing Piper's hand.
"Obviously" Piper mumbled quietly.
"Prue? Where are you?" Phoebe asked, looking around.
"She's out on the terrace" Piper said and pointed at Prue.
"Prue!"
Prue turned around, wiping the tears off of her cheek.
"What's wrong?" Piper asked and looked at Prue.
Prue didn't answer.
"Prue, I can see the color of your eyes" Phoebe said after a few seconds.
"You can?"
"Yes".
Prue closed her eyes and sat down on one of the chairs.
"Prue," Phoebe bent down beside her, "I think.. it means everything's�"
"Changing. I know" Prue completed her sentence without looking at her.
She didn't seem to be too thrill about it.
"Prue, what is it?" Piper asked.
"I didn't ask for this. It's all happening cause I'm a damn witch!" she said and stood up.
Piper and Phoebe looked at each other.
"Okay, spill" Phoebe said and looked at Prue.
"You don't understand! I got trapped in this. I had to raise you. Both of you�"
Suddenly, Prue stopped.
She looked around in shock. What the hell�? They're gone Prue thought to herself.
She ran into the house, looking around, calling for them.
No answer.
"Phoebe?! Piper??"
No answer.
They're doing it to me again. I have to be the older sister again Prue thought.
No! What is the matter with me?
"Phoebe? Where are you?"
She looked around and hurried upstairs.
She bursted into Emma's room, they weren't there.
Emma looked at her in fear. "Mommy..?"
"Stay here. Okay?" Prue said and shut the door, running up towards the Attic.
Her heals tapping on the wooden floor.
She opened the door to the Attic, but there was no one there.
"Piper?!"
She opened The Book Of Shadows and quickly, though aimlessly, flipped through the pages.
"Prue!"
Prue turned around. She heard Phoebe's voice but she couldn't see her.
"Where are you?" she yelled.
"The Book!"
Prue looked onto one of the pages. There was nothing there.
She closed The Book and stepped away from it.
"I'm sick of this" she said and walked out of the Attic.
"Prue. Release us" Piper's voice echoed.
Prue looked around as she walked down the stairs.
"Screw this" she said angrily and walked towards the front door.
She looked for her car keys.
Suddenly, she came across a picture of herself.
It looked exactly like the picture their grandmother once took, of the three of them in the back yard. However, Prue was all alone in that picture.
She picked it up and looked at it.
Huh. To think I've wasted all my...
A sudden scream interrupted her thoughts.
She dropped the framed picture in panic as she felt everything move.
"Emma!" she yelled, but she couldn't move.
Suddenly, she saw Phoebe and Piper standing to her right and Emma to her left.
"I don't believe we've been properly introduced".
Prue looked at a man. He was wearing a dark blue suit. He looked very familiar... The Demon.
But there was something else about him.
Prue moved her hand, trying to use her powers.
"It won't work witch. Not here anyway. See, this is your perfection" he said and circled Prue.
Prue felt her legs again. She could move.
She reached out to Emma and suddenly flew backwards.
"Shields Prue. You can't go through them" he said and grinned.
Prue stood up, looking around.
Everything was foggy.
It seems they were on a road of some sort. She looked up. They skies were covered with clouds. Dark clouds.
"My perfection?" She asked and looked at Piper and Phoebe.
"That's right. You see, your perfect world was right where you were about five minutes ago" he said and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
"Yep. Five minutes exactly. It is a very nice watch, I must add".
"What's going on?" Prue asked firmly.
"You have two choices Prudence dear".
"Don't call me that. It makes me feel old" she said. She was stalling.
She wasn't sure why, but oh well...
What was it about him; he made her trigger a memory.
Ah! That's it. He was the guy who broke the windows in the kitchen this morning. At home... Prue thought to herself. An invisible smile appeared on her face.
"Either you go back to your life, your ideal world..." he said and pointed at Emma.
"Or you can choose your sisters and go back to the life you had".
Prue looked at him, then at Piper and Phoebe.
"I don't get it. You want me to choose?" she asked.
"Which part don't you understand?"
"My ideal world, that's what you said, right?"
"Yes".
"Who are you?" Prue asked.
"Perfection. I can read people's minds and see exactly what it is they truly want".
"Nice job you got there" she said and looked at Emma.
Many thoughts ran through her mind.
"So... What's it gonna be? I have people to break, placed to make..."
Suddenly, she noticed him whispering something.
"Where is she?" Piper asked Phoebe as Prue disappeared.
Phoebe shook her head, "I...a..."
"I'm right here" Prue said and looked at them.
They turned around to her.
"What about Emma?"
"In a way, it was my perfect world. But you guys weren't there. That made it incomplete".
"Why didn't we exist in your world?"
"I guess I felt freer when you weren't there. Something like I didn't need to protect you all the time".
"You know, all that you said about raising us? Do you really feel we're a burden?" Phoebe asked, putting her arms around Prue's shoulders.
"Of course not" Prue said and touched Phoebe's arms.
"I love you guys. Don't ever doubt that" Prue said and smiled.
"I love you too" Piper said, "Yeah. Me too" Phoebe smiled.
"That's why, you're gonna clean" Phoebe said and quickly stood up, running back into the house.
Prue looked at Piper; "she does have a point there" Piper said and helped Prue up.
"You know what?" Piper said as they entered the Manor.
"What?"
"You're gonna make a great mom someday".
"Thanks" Prue said and smiled, looking around the Manor.
She walked towards the small table, on which her car keys lay. She picked up the framed picture; looked up and smiled.
