Paige
Speaking of those problems, I think I have figured out a way to get the press off of our broomsticks... (Three rats crawl next to a wall behind Piper) Holy- We have rats!
Yeah, they're everywhere, get used to it. So what's this big solution?
Paige
Where did they come from?
The San Francisco Chronicle, uhm... Daily News and the Inquirer. I found them nosing around the garbage.
Paige
So you turn them into rodents?
Well, I could've blown them up.
See, this is what a Krychek demon is supposed to look like.
Well, maybe the one you guys were following was just a bigger one.
No, this wasn't just bigger. This was like going from you to Schwarzenegger.
(Leo comes out carrying skiing equipment.)
Oh, good, you found the skis!
Yeah! But, they're kinda old, though. Maybe we should just rent new ones, you know? (He drops the skiing boots) Ah! Damnit!
Watch your language. Wyatt is picking up everything we say lately.
I'm gonna get some more coffee. You guys want anything?
(Phoebe goes to the kitchen.)
Yes, I got there. Listen, why don't we finish packing? I wanna miss traffic, okay?
I know, I'm gonna. I just, I need to talk to agent Murphy first about this demon of his.
What? I- I can't just let it go. Can I?
Yes, you can. C'mon, when are we the last time had weekend together, alone?
I know, and I promise, nothing is gonna stop that from happening, I promise, but I… just kind need to talk him first.
Well, why… can't Billie talk to him?
(Paige walks in.)
Paige
You guys, I can not find Billie anywhere. She's not answering. Maybe we could just get her pager?
Phoebe (back from the kitchen): Oh, Paige! Henry called for you last night.
Paige
Why? What'd he want?
Uh, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure he wants, you.
Paige
That's ridiculous.
Paige
No!
Really? Then why is your face turning red?
Paige
It's not turning red, I probably just put too much blush on.
(Piper chuckles.)
Ok, why don't you and me (points to Phoebe) go see what the government's not telling us? And I'll be right back, I swear. (She kisses Leo, then heads for the door with Phoebe.)
Paige
Hey, don't you have a lunch date?
I canceled. I'm taking a little hiatus.
Paige
From lunch?
(Piper and Phoebe leave.)
Paige
Okay. Come on, Billie. (Calls Billie again.)
Anyone down here? Big box on high heels. I need some help.
Just a sec. Ah, sorry, do you need help?
Well, I did. Now I just need a sec.
Okay, well since I have you...
Um...Piper, I'm kinda running late. I have to go sign the loan docs and I wanna stop by the condo before work...
Loan docs? Wow, I didn't realize this was moving along so quickly. But, you know I've been so focused on getting Leo back.
But, I have made a list of seers and oracles and anyone that might be able to foresee who we have to fight in order to get him back.
Great, ok. Call me if you find anything.
Well, I was thinking...I was thinking that maybe you should take my Jeep, because in my car hold so much more than yours does, doesn't it?
Right. Piper, are you sure you're okay with me moving out?
Yeah, of course I am. I mean we can't be roommates forever, that's just weird.
Paige
Oh, what I am gonna do? I'm supposed to have a date with Henry tonight and he is in the worst mood. He's lost his car keys, he's lost his wallet, he locked himself out of his apartment, and I need him to be in a good mood for that I wanna do tonight.
We aren't talking about sex, are we?
Paige
No, we aren't talking about sex. I finally screwed up my courage to tell him...you know that I'm witch and I feel like I have to do it tonight otherwise I might wuss out, and I really need to know that he is okay with who I am. You do this a lot, Pheebs, got any advice?
Well, hope he doesn't faint. No, I don't know, I mean, I haven't any success with these things. Just ease into it, try to lessen the blow.
Paige
Okay, how?
Maybe call some reinforcements, maybe ask some of your magical friends to help him to have a better day so you can have a better night?
Paige
Like fairies, or something?
Sure, fairies, leprechauns, whatever. Good luck.
Oh, I was actually hoping that you can help me to let down the list a little bit before you go.
Oh, Piper, I'm really late.
Oh, okay. Well you know, it's just Leo. Really come on, all I need is one little premonition. How hard can it be?
Ok. (She put the box down.)
Paige
Hey, Henry.
Paige
Guess what?
Paige
I like you.
Paige
What?
I like you, too. (they kiss)
I'm telling you, this day is getting more better than he started.
Paige
Yeah, so far.
Why you keep say things like that? What do you have to tell me? Come on, it can't be that bad. Rooftop picnic, starlight, candle. Wait, wait I wanna guess first. Hold on. Let me see. You used to be a man before. No, that's not true, right? Good. Come on. Tell me. What is it?
Paige
I don't think you're gonna like it.
Paige
Have you ever wondered about the kind of...strange things that happen...with me and kind of since you've known me? Like, why was I there, trying to help your parolee? How I found that baby's father so quickly?
How'd you get that guy to tell the truth?
Paige
How'd you get shot and miraculously survive? And, even little things like today. Finding your keys, and your wallet, and then there's that winning the 10,000 dollars thing which you probably give to charity, because, you know that's...
Okay, okay...What are you trying to tell me Paige?
Paige
Do you believe in magic?
I...I don't know...I don't think about it much. Why?
Paige
I think it's time you did. (she waves her hand) Lights. I'm doing that right now.
Paige
I'm a witch. I have powers. Uh, I can make these kind of things happen. I am not a kind of witch that rides around on broomsticks, or the hat, or the little black cat. That sort of thing. I use my powers for good. I help people. And this is not going well, and I can see...how completely scared off you are from me. The door is right there and that won't hurt my feelings.
Paige
What?
Look at me. I am not afraid.
Simon (to Phoebe) My goodness you're fetching!
SSimon
But you are not half-whitelighter, which is requisite for my future mate, so sorry to disappoint you. But you on the other hand are...
Paige
Did you just say future mate?
SSimon
No! No, that was..It came out wrong apologies.
Paige
Ok, here's the deal, we're actually super super busy right now, so it'll be fabulous if you could just orb yourself off now.
(Piper and Paige are walking down the staircase in the Manor.)
Did she say what she wanted?
Paige
She just said she wanted to speak to us.
This could very well be a trap. Did she call Phoebe?
(Piper and Paige turn to see Phoebe, and begin to walk towards her.)
Well, at the risk of your wrath, I'm going to tell you that this could be a very bad idea.
I know, but please, let's just listen to what Billie has to say.
I just spoke with an Elder, and she confirmed that those two could be very big trouble for us.
Paige
What?
She wasn't 100% sure, but it is a possibility, which means sooner or later ...
(Grey smoke begins to rise from the floor. The three sisters turn to see the smoke fade to reveal Billie.)
You know, considering you want to kill us, maybe you should use the front door.
I don't want to kill you Piper, I just want to find out the truth.
Well, how do we help you find that?
(Billie throws a potion vial, which smashes at the sisters' feet. White smoke rises and flows into their bodies, and the sisters fall to the floor. Grey smoke rises up from the floor again beside Billie, which fades to reveal Christie, who stands beside her sister.)
You promise not to hurt them, right?
Not until you see what you need to see.
Paige
Watch it, guys! Wait for me. This thing's heavy.
I think we're going in circles because this looks very familiar.
Paige
Yeah, it looks the same to me too.
Well, of course it does. It's the Underworld. It all looks the same. How many looks can they come up with?
Paige
No wonder they wanna take over our world. This is ugly.
They've already taken our world. That's why we're stuck down here. We gotta do something. Come on!
Maybe we should talk to the leprechauns again?
Paige
No, I've had it with the leprechauns.
I think they made their allegiance pretty clear.
They wouldn't even give us a chance to explain.
I don't think it would have mattered. Billie and Christy have everybody thinking that we're the threat.
We gotta get out of here.
Okay, we can't keep playing Survivor: Underworld much longer.
Paige
How about we just orb home?
No, it's too risky. Billie and Christy will be waiting for us. And their new friends.
Paige
Okay, well, we gotta do something fast because word is gonna get around that we're down here.
She's right. We can't fend off demons forever. We need a plan.
Paige
Maybe just give up?
Paige
What? It's just that every time we go out and try to get a life, meet people, do new things, we seem to wind up back in these kind of lame positions. Giving up is not such a bad idea, is it?
No, I'm not giving up. Not now and not after I finally found someone I could see having a future with. Look, if we want our lives and Leo back... we're gonna have to fight.
Paige
Fight Billie and Christy.
Are you sure you can do it? I mean, really do it? Can you kill them?
Yeah, they're no different than demons now. Not after all of this.
Paige
Energy ball!
We've been waiting for you.
Paige
Well, your wait is over.
(The five girls glare at each other)
We don't need any potions.
I know we should never trusted you.
You should have followed your instincts.
There won't BE a next time.
(They stare at each other for a beat and then shoot their powers at each other, causing the manor to explode.)
