But that wasn’t going to be, at least not quite yet. Later you told me that you exclaimed, “You’re bleeding!” both happily and sympathetically as you touched his hand.
He smiled at you. “Just a little bit,” as he thought, *Love her touch. If she doesn’t wanna go, it’s OK; don’t force it.”<br>
You smiled at him. “Dan, I really wanna go.”<br>
He looked at you confused. “But…” just as I came running back down the stairs.
You looked at me, smiling ecstatically. “He’s bleeding!”<br>
“He’s lucky,” I muttered, then louder, I continued. “Hi, listen, Dan, I have to borrow Piper for just a little while, but I’ll have her back soon, OK,” as I said this, I was walking passed him, admiring the view.
You must’ve heard me think, *Nice butt.* because you cried, “Hey!” at me, before catching yourself, as you turned towards Dan. “Hey, you hang in there, and I’ll be back in time.”<br>
He nodded, “Yeah, I hope so,” as you opened the door. Kit was back on the porch growling, but this time Dan figured it out. “Oh, that’s what’s scaring your cat. You got hornets. That’s probably what stung me, too."
You nodded, trying to smile. “Yeah, um, probably. OK, gotta go, don’t leave without me,” and he smiled back and he left, as I told you we had to go, now.
Well, when we reached Eric’s apartment, we found our latest threat going after him. You froze them and we brought him back to the Manor. We tried to convince him that we were the good guys, but he refused to believe and was about to leave, so I grabbed his arm and flipped him, so he landed on his back on the floor. Just as I sat on top of him, Prue walked in. When she saw Eric and me, she raised her eyebrows and commented, “Entertaining guests. I see.”<br>
I greeted her as Eric tried to get up. I muttered, “Piper, could you help me out a little?” and she froze Eric.
“Who’s the cute boy?” Prue asked.
“He’s Eric, from the hospital,” I explained. "Two warlocks called Collectors wants what’s in his brain. The location of the Akashic Records...” as I got off of Eric.
Before I could explain, you thought at her, *The lost text that predicts all future events. Collectors get it, the world’s a goner.* and when I started to explain, she interrupted, “It’s a lost text that predicts all future events. The Collectors get it, the world’s a goner. I know.”<br>
I stared at her, knowing fully well that she should not have known that. “OK, does someone wanna tell me what’s going on here?”<br>
And you thought at Prue, *Have to tell her now.*

Oh, thank you so much all 3 of you!!! Your reviews were fantastic!! (that's one for each of you!). I'm so glad you're enjoying this one as much as I enjoyed writing it, coz it was definitely fun!! And thanks to those who saw the episode for not giving it away!!
Red, I really got a kick out of you thinking back at me!! Thanks to whoever it was who first posted a story using asterisks for thoughts; it's truly coming in handy in this story--I didn't use them in the original and it confused my readers, so as soon as I saw that tale, I thought, YES!!
Anyway, here's a thought back at all of you: *I LOVE MY READERS!!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY REVIEW!!!*
Hope you enjoy this next section, too!!

Thank you very much, both of you!!
No, Red, it's not *really* the Akashic Records as you probably know--these are ones that can be read by mortals and demons and witches, not like the real ones, and they're not mentioned except for this episode. But I appreciated the nod to them.
Funny thing, SciFi, Phoebe saying "He's lucky" is actually part of the show--I think she meant that he wasn't a demon and didn't have to be vanquished, but like you, I like that it works out with Phoebe rooting for Leo, too.
Here's Part Thirty-Two

Prue nodded. “OK, um, Phoebe. See, Piper and I didn’t really know about the whole pricking thing to expose a warlock. So, we sorta cast a little hearing-thoughts spell, just to find things out.”<br>
I stared at you two, a bit shocked, a bit angry. “Oh, a hearing-thoughts spell, huh?”<br>
Meanwhile, you thought at Prue, *Dan’s clean, by the way.*
Prue smiled. *Glad to hear it. Jack’s not.*
This time I caught on and it was my turn to be paranoid. “Wait, are you guys thinking something about me right now?”<br>
Prue shook her head. “No. Does Eric know about witches and warlocks?”<br>
I shook my head. “No, he thinks it’s a government conspiracy.”<br>
You were still staring at Prue. Aloud you asked, “How do you know Jack’s a warlock?” and I stared at both of you in shock. Jack was a warlock??!!
“I heard his thoughts and they are bad, really bad,” Prue told us. “You know graves, dead people, burnt bodies.”<br>
“Did you prick him?” I asked.
She shook her head. “No, that’s why I need Piper. Freeze him, prick him and then vanquish him if necessary.”<br>
Just then you spot a dagger on the table. “Where’d you get that?” you asked.
“Oh, remember the troubled priest with the warlock brothers?” she asked (and if you don’t remember about them, Piper, well, never mind.) “Well, they left this behind, and I’ve sorta hung on to it just in case we needed it for future warlock use.”<br>
“WOW!,” I cried. “It’s been a while, but it seems like they’re everywhere,” and you nodded. “OK, you two go to it; I’ll stay here.”<br>
“What if the Collectors show up?” you asked.
I shrugged as I sat back down on Eric. “Well, just get back before they do. Don’t lose that dagger!” and Prue thought, *We have to go kill a warlock while she gets to sit on some guys…*
*Hey, hey, hey!” I cried
Prue stared at me in shock. “You heard that?”<br>
I gave her a “Give me a break!” look. “Yeah, like I need a hearing-thoughts spell to know what you’re thinking.”<br>
Just then Eric unfroze. “Now, are you gonna behave?” I asked him.
“Do I have a choice?” he asked and I shook my head.

I'm with you, SciFi! I know I can usually tell what my own sisters are thinking, or at least make a good guess! And when it's something like that...!!
Just for you responding so quickly, here's Part Thirty-Three

So you two went to Buckland’s and Prue’s office. As you later told me, she sat behind her desk, while you hid behing her door. You called Jack and shortly afterwards, he arrived. You froze him and Prue poked him with the dagger. It was her turn to stare at the results. “He’s not bleeding!”<br>
And your turn to look smug. “He’s frozen.” and Prue nodded.
Prue nodded. “Uh, yeah. OK, OK, OK. Wait a minute” and you kept your hands up while she hid the dagger back in the drawer. She nodded at you, “OK.”<br>
But before you could unfreeze him, the door opened and another Jack, dressed in another wild shirt similar to the one he was wearing before walked into the room!
You froze that Jack, too, wondering if you had twin warlocks on your hands, while Prue just wondered if they were just twins. When you unfroze them, you found out that that was the case. It seemed that the Sheridan twins had done that as kids. As Jeff Sheridan put it, “Yeah, so, you know, when one of us would take an interest in someone…”
“So, you’d send the other one to check out the merchandise?” you asked. “sorta kick the tires?”<br>
Jeff smiled. “Crude but accurate.”<br>
But that still didn’t explain why Jeff wanted to kill Prue, but it did when Jeff told you what he did for a living--he owned a chain of mortuaries! That explained. “Put ‘em in graves, set ‘em on fire.”<br>
Then Prue turned her attention to the Sheridan twins. “You know, you two should be ashamed of yourselves.” And she walked up to Jack and slapped him across the face. “That’s for thinking you could get away with it!” That made Jeff laugh, so Prue slapped him too. “And that’s for thinking you wouldn’t get slapped!” She smiled at you, asking, “Piper?”<br>
You nodded and you both left, but not before you heard Jeff say, “I approve,” and Prue growled, just like Kit.
So you two came back to the Manor, telling me that Jack wasn’t a warlock, just a jerk. Well, we managed to save both Eric and his father from the Collectors by turning their powers on each other, and thanks to the Collectors’ having drained some of their brain before we could, neither remembered a thing about it.
But before we did, Dan came back over and you had to try to deal with him.
“You ready to go?” he asked, but he must’ve seen something in your face, as he thought, *Oh
man, she’s not coming.*
“Dan, look,” you tried to explain. “I wanna go; I really do. I’m just not quite ready yet!”<br>
Just then I walked in, asking, “Piper, any word from the--” then I spot Dan. “pizza guy? Hi Dan! We ordered pizza; would you like to stay for pizza?”<br>
And Dan sadly thought, *No, I wanna go with her. But what’s the point?*
“OK, OK,” you told him, "I know what you’re thinking…”
*Piper!* I thought at you in shock.
“--but I can be ready on time.” you finished.
He nodded. “”OK, well, I have to leave in an hour or I’m gonna be late for the wedding rehearsals, so the car’s gonna leave the driveway at six. Hope to see you then.”<br>
You nodded as you closed the door, but you could still hear his thoughts. *Someday, someway, somehow, I’m gonna make it through that damn door.*

Later, after we vanquished the Collectors, you and Prue were running down the stairs, you carrying your bag.
“OK, what am I thinking?” Prue asked.
“That Dan’s gonna leave without me,” as you ran faster.
“Nope,” replied Prue happily. “Good, the spell’s reversed.”<br>
You nodded as you two walked into the foyer. “What a relief! I think we’ve proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, that man, and especially woman, aren’t meant to hear each other’s thoughts,” as you put on your coat.
Prue nodded. “Definitely. Too much knowledge whether it comes from the Akashic Records or other people’s heads is just dangerous stuff.”<br>
You nodded, then got curious. “So, what were you thinking?”<br>
“I was thinking what a shame it was that Phoebe finally met a nice guy, and she’s not even gonna remember it.” because the Collectors had used their finger-thingies on me, too.
Just then I walked in the front door, carrying a bunch of flowers.
After I greeted you two, Prue said, “Hi. Ah, they’re gorgeous.”<br>
I handed them towards her. “They’re for you. The florist left them on the porch, but there’s no card, just a note that says, ‘For Prue’.”<br>
She stared at them. “They’re huge.”<br>
“They’re expensive!” you put in as we heard a phone ring.
“And they’re ringing!” Looking in the flowers, she found a cellphone. “Hello?” she answered as she walked into the living room.
Suddenly you cried out, “Dan! He’s leaving without me!”<br>
“Well, don’t just stand there!” I demanded, wondering what you two would do without me. “Freeze him!”<br>
“Oh, right,” as you reached out and froze the car. “I gotta go,” and you ran out the door.
I grinned as I walked into the living room. “That’s such a nifty little power.”<br>
Prue was sitting on the couch, trying to answer the phone with no success. Again I wondered what you two would do without me. I sat down next to her, “Oh, honey,” and I took the phone from her and flipped it open. Prue laughed before asking, “Hello?”<br>
Snoopy Phoebe put my ear up against the phone as well and tried to listen, Prue grinning at me.
“At last,” Jack declared. “I’ve been calling you every twenty minutes for the last hour. Do you like the flowers?”<br>

Well, Red, our favorite whitelighter will be showing up shortly as we will soon begin one of my favorite episodes, P3 H2O, but also one of those that makes me cry whenever I see it. Because it's one that's *so* very important in helping Piper make her choice, I have a lot more of that episode in the story than most of the others. I hope I did it justice.
Prue and Jack had a strange and wonderful relationship--Jack was strange and Prue was wonderful!! Although there's a part of it in P3 H20, where Jack is actually nice to Prue and does her a huge favor with a client, I skipped it for now and brought it into the next episode, because it didn't fit in with this story very well.
But here's one of my favorite scenes between Big Sister and Little Sister. Just for you, here's Part Thirty-Five (WOW--two in one day!)

“Jack, what do you want?” Prue asked.
“You know,” Jack pointed out, “You are a very suspicious woman.”<br>
“No,” replied Prue primly. “I just like to think of it as careful,” and I nodded.
“Oh, c’mon, Prue. Are you saying you’ve been totally honest with me?”<br>
She stared at me with a “What do I do?” look, so I grinned and began making crackling noises into the phone. Prue grinned at me gratefully before saying, “Jack, I can’t hear you. The phone’s breaking up.”<br>
“I just, I wanted to apologize.” he yelled over the “static”. “Can I take you to dinner?”<br>
I shook my head, so she said, “I don’t think so.”<br>
“C’mon,” he insisted. “Let me buy you a drink.”<br>
Grinning, I again shook my head, and she grinned back. “I don’t think so,” she repeated.
“Well, can I at least get my phone back?” he asked.
We looked at each other, both grinned, and again she said, “I don’t think so,” and she hung up as we both cracked up.
“Ooh, I like it,” I declared as I took the phone and started dialing a number.
“What are you doing?” Prue asked.
I grinned. “I’m calling Tokyo on Jack’s dime! Konnichi wa?” and she laughed.
But not much later, Prue was no longer laughing. You’d gotten an important message, so you called her on the cell she still had. We all liked it so much, that now we each had one of our own. You were holding yours as you walked into my room. “That’s strange.”<br>
“What’s strange?” I asked.
“Prue. I was talking with her, and I'd almost forgotten. She should’ve been home from that estate sale already and some guy called from Buckland’s. I wanted to make sure she and my car are OK.”<br>
“And they’re not?” I asked, standing up, becoming worried.
“Well, she says she is, she says it was just traffic, but, Phoebs, she just doesn’t sound all right--there was something different in her voice.”<br>
"Did you ask her about it?”<br>
“I was about to when my phone beeped, signalling an incoming call."
“Dan, right?” I asked, and sheepishly you nodded. “You know, he does live like twenty feet away,” I pointed out. “You guys could get walkie talkies; two cans, a string.”<br>
But rather than laughing, you frowned. “Prue said just about the same thing. And when I told her, ‘Point taken, Mom,’ she made a strange, almost-strangling sound."
I shrugged. "I'm not surprised. You know she doesn't like being compared to Mom."
"I know, but this was different somehow, but then she told me to go talk to my boy and she’d be here soon. Like I said, that sound bothered me, but--“<br>
I nodded. “But you were too interested in talking with Dan to worry about it too much. I remember too well.”

I agree, SciFi, no fun for my favorite Charmed One at all--or her sisters, for that matter, or for Leo, or the viewers! And it pretty much gets started in the next section--so here's Part Thirty-Six. (P.S. Hope you update W&A soon!!!)

I still remember, Piper. As you and Dan talked, you ran down the stairs and came into the kitcher, where I was reading the paper. You sat down at the table and poured cereal into a bowl. “Pouring,” you told Dan. He must’ve told you what he was eating--which I later found out was Froot Loops, because you told him, “I can't believe you eat that stuff.
I made a face. “You guys are killing me with cuteness over here.”<br>
You glared at me. “Don't you have somewhere to be, somewhere very far away?
I grinned and moved closer, now close enough to hear Dan. “What do you say tomorrow, when Jenny's at school, we have breakfast for real?”<br>
You grinned. “I'll take what I can get.”<br>
I made a worse face, “Nausea.” You glared at me, so I finally went back upstairs, where you found me after Dan left.
Now, as we walked back down the stairs after talking with you, Prue walked in through the door, her face pale. “Prue,” I asked, walking towards her in concern. “What’s wrong?
“OK,” Prue told us. “I saw something or someone drown, and it was anything but natural.”<br>
“On the freeway?” You asked the same thing I was wondering.
“No, up at the lake.”<br>
I stared at her. “Oh, wait a minute. The lake as in the lake where Mom was killed?”<br>
“You said you were stuck in traffic,” you reminded her.
“Yeah, I was, after the lake. I just go there sometimes to think.”<br>
“You never told us that,” I said, as we walked through the conservatory, into the foyer and up the
stairs.
“Because I didn’t want you to make a big deal about it. Anyway, this isn’t about Mom, all right? I saw someone get pulled under. I tried to help him, but this man stopped me and said ‘It’s already taken him’. He probably saved my life.”<br>
“Do you think he knows what happened?” you asked.
“Could,” she agreed as we walked into Prue’s room. “Which means I need to get to Buckland’s to drop stuff off--that’s what they wanted--and get back to that lake.”<br>
“Wait a minute, Prue,” I cried. “Aren’t you kinda missing the point? How can you think that whatever you saw didn't have something to do with how Mom died?
“Look, we need to stop worrying about the past and start dealing with the present. They’re re-opening camp.”<br>
“I thought they closed it the summer that Mom--" I cried.
“--Exactly," she interrupted. "And no one has been allowed in the lake since, and if there’s something in it, killing, then the last thing we need is a lake full of kids.”

Oh Es, I'm so sorry I haven't been around to read ..... good o' storm messed up our phone and so I couldn't get online but wow! Two of what I have been reminded of my favorite episodes. The Jack/Jeff and thoughts episode was great and you did a great job with it... And now we have to go from such a funny and happy one to a not so happy one but this is a good one and i can't wait to read the rest of it... its been a while since i've watched these episodes so you re-writing them helps remind me what did happen and now I can't wait to see what happened that help "piper's decision"!
Great Job and I got to say that I should have definitley done my story like yours... write it and then start posting it... oh how that would have been SO much easier. And just to give you a heads up I'm going to be gone as of sunday for a week so I'll have to do what I'm great at.... catching up when I get back lol.

It's going to be such an ordeal for all of them. This is one of my favorite episodes, but, man, is it a tearjerker. Keep up the great work, Esmeralda.

Thank you so much, both of you! I'm at work right now, and then I'm going straight to my dad's (Have a Happy Father's Day, everyone in America!), so I won't be able to update until Sunday, but I will then.
Oh, yes, Oddball, I don't think I'd ever start posting unless I was totally done with a story. I have all sorts of admiration for you people who are writing your stories "on the fly" so to speak, and using such wonderful imagination! I wish I could do that, too!! I know I can't so I do what I know I do best. Have a great week off--you'll probably get to read all of P3 H2O when you get back!
SciFi, I agree totally--it was such an ordeal for all of them and it made my heart ache for all of them but I hope it made the wedding all the more happier for them! (YAY! My buddies are back! But where's Pinkie?)
Have a great weekend, all!

“Well, how do we find the guy that stopped you?” I asked.
“What about the woman who used to run the camp?” you suggested, as you searched your memory for her name. “Mrs. J., uh, Johnson. If she’s still up there, she’ll probably know who he is.”<br>
Prue nodded. “She’s still there, same cabin.”<br>
“I guess you go up there to think a lot,” I muttered, but she ignored me.
“I’ll meet you guys up at the lake,” she told us. “I should be there in an hour,” and she left.
I turned to you. “Do you really think the things she saw has nothing to do with how Mom died?”<br>
You shook your head. “Nope. You?”<br>
“Not a chance.”<br>
Later, you and I were in Mrs. Johnson’s cabin, looking at a photo while Mrs. Johnson brought in some of her famous cookies that you and Prue had told me so much about.
“Well, I’m finding it hard to believe enough time’s gone by for you to have grown up so much. Here,” and she handed you the plate of cookies.
I was having fun looking at the picture. “Aww, look at little Prue!" Then I added. "Nice pigtails, Piper!” as I laughed.
You grabbed the picture from me. “Not fair.”<br>
I shook my head. “No, what’s not fair is that I never got to go to camp with you guys,” as I grabbed the plate and tried one of the cookies, which was even better than advertised.
“Um, Mrs. J.,” you started. “We heard you were thinking of opening up the camp again.”<br>
She nodded. “Oh, was. I thought it was over, and then today another drowning. I can’t ask the campers to go swimming in the lake when…”
You nodded. “Um, we were wondering if you might help us with something. Prue was up here the other day, and she mentioned a man, um, older, a bit off.”<br>
“I think the word that she used was crazy,” I put in.
“We were wondering if you might know who he is,” you finished.
She nodded. “Oh, Sam. Only one it could be. The man’s not wired together properly. He showed up when the drownings started. He just stayed here, no friends, no life of his own. You know, with someone like that, you have to wonder what he’s capable of,” and we stared at each other, wondering if we’d found ourselves a demon or a murderer or both.
Just then we heard the sound of your car pulling up. We walked out and saw Prue standing next to your car, staring at the lake, so we walked up to her.
“Mrs. J.,” you introduced. “you remember my sister, Prue?”<br>
“Oh, Prue, of course I do! It’s good to see you,” and they hugged. Then she stared at Prue. “Wow! You’re looking more and more like your mother everyday."
Prue shook her head firmly, “No, I don't. Actually it’s Piper who resembles her the most.”<br>
That led to an awkward silence, that I tried to break up. “People see a little of her in each of us, I think.”<br>
Mrs. Johnson smiled at me. “Of course. Will you come see me again? The old broad gets lonely up here. I love to see my campers.”<br>
You smiled, “Sure,” and as she went back towards her cabin, we waved our good-byes and our thanks.

I really liked the mystery surrounding Sam. He's been one of my favorite guest stars, behind Victor, Grams, and Patty. It must be a family thing!

That's funny, SciFi, because I agree with you totally, although I'd add Melinda Warren to the bunch--another family member--and Bane, just because he was so yummy, and the order would be Patty, Bane, Melinda, Victor, Grams & Sam!!
Just for you, here's Part Thirty-Eight!

“Mrs. J's not opening the camp, Prue,” you told her.
“Really?” Prue asked. “So that means it’s just between us and whatever’s hiding in that lake. Any word on that crazy guy?”<br>
I nodded. “His name is Sam and he lives right… “<br>
Just then Prue’s phone rang. She answered it, and it was Jack Sheridan, being typical Jack Sheridan the jerk.
When she hung up, she muttered, “I just can not figure out what this guy’s deal is.”<br>
“That’s funny,” you told her. “We were just gonna ask you the same thing.”<br>
“Excuse me?” you asked.
“Every time someone compares you to Mom. you flinch,” I pointed out. “It’s a compliment, not a curse.”<br>
“Is it?” she asked, “Because every single day, I feel like I’m becoming more and more like her and every day it terrifies me.”<br>
“Prue,” you said comfortingly.
“I mean, don’t you guys see it? Look at what happened to her, and then look what’s happening to me. No successful relationship with guys; being responsible for a family, now because of being this charmed thing, the very real possibility of dying young. It’s like history is repeating itself.”<br>
“Prue,” you pointed out. “That's all just...”<br>
“Coincidence?” she asked. “I thought that we had figured out that nothing is a coincidence in our lives. Like me being here when that thing attacked--it’s like I was meant to be here.”<br>
“Well, you’re not exactly meant to be here when you’re here every week,” you pointed out, still pissed that she had lied to you.
“All right, look, I just wanna find this Sam guy, see what he knows about the demon, vanquish it and get on with our lives,” and we agreed..
So we found Sam’s place. We knocked on the door and when no one answered, we snuck in. I exaggerated my stance, up on my tiptoes, my finger near my lips. “Be vewy, vewy quiet,” I said in my best Elmer Fudd imitation, “We’re hunting demons!” and Prue glared at me.
You looked around. “I guess he’s not home.”<br>
Prue was looking through some sheets of paper, and suddenly she cried out, “Oh, my--”<br>
“What?” you cried. “What is it?” as we both ran to her.
Prue was holding an old photograph of Mom. “What is he doing with a picture of her?” she demanded.
“Who is this guy?” you asked.
I shuddered. “Or what?”

Oh, thank you so very much all of you!! You're all wonderful!!
I agree with you totally, SciFi--I wonder if the writers knew how very prophetic Prue's words would end up being. I shuddered even as I posted them!
And, Aurora!! It's so great to know that you're still reading this. I know how special Sam is to you from your stories!!
And, yes, Red, you're absolutely right! This *is* Paige's Sam!! As you'll find out shortly, because you & SciFi posted such great reviews (you, too, Aurora!) that I'm going to post two in one day!! So here's Part Thirty-Nine!

At that point, Prue found some newspapers. “OK, he has articles on every single drowning at the lake.”<br>
At the same moment, you found a certificate. “New York Teacher of the Year, Sam Wylder," you read. Then you stared at us. “In 1872?”<br>
I stared at both of you. “OK, so this guy is either 127 years old or---”<br>
“A demon,” you declared..
“Named Sam?” Prue asked. “A demon named Sam? I mean, can’t it be his grandfather’s certificate? After all, he did save me.”<br>
Just then you opened a drawer and found some letters. “What are these?” You looked up at us. “I found--” Just then Leo orbed in, scaring the tar out of you. “Whoa! Leo! Hi! What are you doing here?”<br>
“C’mon, we gotta get outta here. Sam could be back at any minute.”<br>
“Wait!” cried Prue. “You know Sam?”<br>
Leo still insisted, “C’mon, we gotta--”<br>
Prue interrupted him, that stubborn look on her face. “We are not going anywhere until you tell us what you know. Who is Sam?”<br>
He sighed, not wanting to tell us, but knowing he’d have to. “Sam was your Mom’s whitelighter,” and he shooed us out to the lake, near the dock.
We were still in shock. You finally managed to ask, “Sam was Mom’s whitelighter?”<br>
He nodded. “Emphasis on ‘was’. When your Mom died, Sam clipped his wings. He’s mortal now, but once, yeah, he was a whitelighter. He looked after your mother.”<br>
That made me mad. “Then he lost our Mom!”<br>
Leo nodded. “To the same demon you’re fighting now.”<br>
“And you knew?” you accused. “This whole time he’s been living up here while…”
“I couldn’t tell you,” Leo tried to explain. “They wouldn’t let me. And what would it change? It would only distract you, maybe even gotten you killed. I mean, you guys were gonna have to face this thing sooner or later. And I’m here to make sure you do it with a clear head. Emotions will get the best of you if you let them.”<br>
“Well, can you really blame us?” you asked.
“Leo, he let our mother die!” I cried.
But Prue saw it differently. “Leo’s right. This isn’t about Mom, and it’s not about Sam for that matter. It’s about a demon who’s waiting until tomorrow for brunch to be served.”<br>

That's the good thing about Prue. Sometimes she can be so in denial about her feelings, she can focus on the task at hand. But then again, she has to learn to deal with those same feelings to really be successful. Nice paradox in her character, and nice update from you!

Thanks again, both of you!!
Yes, SciFi, it's strange how Prue could shove aside her emotions, so she could get things done (wonder if it has to do with being the oldest--I'm that way, too--fine, if others need me; basketcase if they don't!), but how badly she needed to also let them out.
Thank you so very much, Red! I really appreciated your comments! But please remember that most of the anger and the tension are thanks to the screenwriters who wrote this fantastic eppi! Since Phoebe is right there most of the time, I'm not doing much more than copying the script. But I'm definitely glad you're enjoying it, especially if you never got to see the actual show. And just for that, here's Part Forty!
