charmed power of four season 3

honeymoon's over

[Scene: Attic. Prue is sitting on the floor looking through the Book of Shadows. The camera looks at dolls and a teddy bear. The cuckoo clock cuckoos. Prue gasps. It's 2 in the morning. She looks back at the book. The door behind Prue slams open and it's Phoebe. Prue uses her power to send Phoebe (not knowing it's her) flying on an old bed.]

Phoebe: Ahhh. (The old bed tumbles over.) Oh.

Prue: Oh. Oh god. (She goes to help Phoebe stand up.) Phoebe, I didn't realize you were home. Are you OK?

Phoebe: Yes.

Prue: I'm sorry. Are you alright?

Phoebe: I'm fine. (Phoebe stands up.) Uh, feeling a little jumpy, are we?

Prue: Well, yeah. Especially now that we know the evil Triad is behind all those attacks.

Phoebe: Um, yeah. I don't need a recap, but what I do need... is some heat. Is it freezing in here? Did you forget to pay the gas bill?

Prue: I... thought that you were supposed to pay the gas bill.

Phoebe: No, Prue. me and Piper were going to take care of the club and you were going to take care of the house. Remember? When school started back up for me?

Prue: Oh, right. Uh, I'll call the gas company first thing. I will be so glad when Pandora gets back.

Phoebe: What if she doesn't? (A phone rings.)

Prue: Uh, that's my fax. (She goes to get it.) Doesn't what? (Phoebe puts her purse on.)

Phoebe: Wh-what if she doesn't come back? (Prue picks up the Book of Shadows.) I mean, what if when her and Leo orbed out, it was for good?

Prue: Phoebe, that is ridiculous. (Prue leaves. Phoebe follows.)

Phoebe: No Prue. It's not ridiculous. Think about it. We have not heard from her in a month. And that's not like her.

Prue: All right. Look, Pandora is not going to just ditch us, okay? We're her sisters and neither is Leo. He's our Whitelighter too.

(They get to the second floor.)

Phoebe: Then why hasn't she contacted us? I mean, she has to know that we're worried about her. She also has to know that she's left us one sister short in the Power of four. (They walk downstairs.) So, while she is up romping around the clouds with Leo, we've got our Wiccan butts flapping around in the wind here. I mean, we are very lucky, Prue, that we have not been attacked yet.

(Prue stops at the end of the stairs.)

Prue: No. It has absolutely nothing to do with luck. The Triad is up to something. We just don't know what it is yet.

Phoebe: That's exactly my point. Pandora knows this. So where the hell is she?

Prue: Well, that's why I've been studying the book.

Phoebe: Prue, studying the book is not going to do it. We're screwed without Pandora and you know this. Why aren't you worried?

Prue: I am worried. Alright? I am scared that you're right, that we're never going to see her again, and not because she doesn't want to come back, but because they won't let her. Because she broke one too many rules. (The phone rings. Piper walks down the stairs)

Piper: Who's calling us at 2 in the morning? (Prue goes to answer it as Phoebe and Piper follow.)

Prue: Probably Darryl. (She answers it.) Hello?

Darryl: Did you get the fax I sent?

Prue: Yeah. I was just about to check it. (She heads for the conservatory with Phoebe following her.) Hold on.
