Soul Exchange

Seconds Later In The Dining Room

         "Where's Leo?" Piper demanded as she entered, finding only Paige, who was seated at the table reading a magazine. "He got a call from The Elders." Paige informed her sibling, refusing to look at her. "Ever useless pieces of-" Piper began to grumble. She was cut off by Paige's shout of. "Hey! Knock it off already, lady! You looking to irritate Them, now, too? Put Them on the brink of tears like you did me?"

"Don't you start with me again!" Piper snapped. "I'm your big sister and don't you forget it, kiddo!"

"Yeah, and apparently one you wish didn't exist!" Paige retorted. "I'm not the almighty Prue, and even though my daughter is the reincarnation of her, neither one of us will ever compare! I get it!" she shrieked. Piper felt remorse wash over her as she finally realized how nastily she had been treating Paige as of late. "Paige, don't be like this, please..." Piper pleaded in a softer tone. "I'm sorry I snapped at you...come here."

"NO!!!!" Paige shouted.

A moment later, Phoebe stormed into the dining room in time to see Piper reaching out to hug Paige, who had her arm drawn back, with her hand balled into a fist, ready to connect it with Piper's jaw if she stepped any closer. "NO! NO! NO! KNOCK IT OFF!!!" Phoebe shouted. "Stay out of this!" Paige barked at Phoebe as she pushed her with her free arm, knocking her out of the way so that she could get a clear shot at Piper. As Paige took a swing at her sister, Glenn suddenly came tearing into the dining room, grabbing his fiancée's arms and pinning them behind her back.

"Let me GO!!!!" Paige shrieked as she thrashed against his hold on her. "Nope, sorry. Can't do that." Glenn stated firmly. "Otherwise it will turn into high school when Michelle Miglis got on your nerves one too many times and you nearly beat the daylights out of her." At that statement, some of Paige's anger left, as she recalled why she had been so mad, then. "That was different, Glenn..." Paige began with a sigh. "That was right after I lost my mom and dad, and anything could set me off. Besides, Michelle was just plain annoying."

"I dunno... she was kinda cute in a way," Glenn answered. Paige leveled him with a look as she asked, "Do you remember Michelle, honey?"

"Calm down, Noog. I was just teasing," Glenn assured her.

"Uh oh." Phoebe said in an alarmed tone as orbs began to form. Phoebe and Piper looked at one another open mouthed as their baby sister and Glenn disappeared in a haze of silvery blue lights. "W- where did they go?" Phoebe stammered. "If she orbed him somewhere and left him there, I am SO kicking her half and half butt!" Piper announced. She then looked heavenward and hollered. "LEO!!!!"

Moments Later- The Peak Of Mount Everest

As soon as their bodies had re-formed, Glenn opened his eyes and looked around. His jaw dropped at the sight that greeted them. As he opened his mouth to inquire of Paige where they were, she let loose with a long, loud scream, releasing her pent-up frustration. "Wow." Glenn breathed as the echo of Paige's outburst died away rapidly in the high, thin air. "Beautiful, isn't it?" Paige asked. "It looks somewhat familiar to me," Glenn began. "Where are we? How did we get here?" he queried with a look of utter confusion. "The peak of Mount Everest, and I orbed us here," Paige informed him. "I've been here before," Glenn stated.

"I know... I remember your writing me about it," Paige reminded him. "How are you doing?" she asked, studying him closely. "Honestly, my stomach feels a little on the queasy side, and I'm slightly woozy," Glenn answered. "Well, sweetie, that's a combination of the orbing and the high altitude." Paige explained. "Word of advice? Don't look down."
