"Ugh, what do They want now?" Piper groaned.
Leo looked up and listened to the message run through his head. "They say it's important," he informed Piper.
"Hurry," Piper pleaded.
"I'll try." Leo orbed out.
Piper sighed. She looked up as her sisters came running down the stairs and into the kitchen where she was standing, coffee in hand. She handed Prue a cup, and handed Phoebe another.
"Morning."
"Gooood morning," Prue said happily.
"Whoa, what's with the happy?" Piper asked.
"Nothing, except for the fact that we haven't had any demon attacks for a week. I've been able to catch up on my beauty sleep."
"Hmm, looks like you're not done," Phoebe joked.
Prue smiled sarcastically. Piper smiled at the joke. The three sisters walked into the living room and sat down. It had
"Hey, where's Leo?" Phoebe asked.
"Up There," Piper sighed.
"For how long?"
"About… forty-five seconds now."
"Well that's not too long."
Leo orbed in.
"That was quick."
"Yeah, well, it's also important," Leo told Piper.
"What? A demon?" Prue asked, not wanting a "yes" to be her answer.
"No."
"Oh, thank God," Prue breathed.
"Actually, it's a little more important."
"I don't understand."
The three Halliwell sisters sat on the couch. Leo sat on the chair across from them. "The Elders…" he started. "The Elders want to reward you for working so faithfully on the side of Good for so long."
All three sisters smiled.
"They're granting you the chance to see your past lives. At least, the most important ones. The ones that shaped who were are today the most."
Prue's face fell. "That's it? They reward us by letting us see our past lives, then they say we can't even see all of them?"
"Hey, they only let whitelighters see their past lives. I know it doesn't seem like much, but it's for perspective. To remind you of who you are and of who you were. They don't want you to lose yourselves in the jobs of being witches," Leo explained.
"So when do we go?" Piper asked.
"Actually, it gets a little worse."
"How?"
"Only one of you can go. The others have to stay here."
"What?" Prue objected.
"Then who?" Phoebe asked.
"They can't choose for you. Free will. You guys will have to decide yourselves who gets to go."
"We have to decide?"
"Yeah, and you have until tomorrow morning."
"That's it?"
"Tomorrow morning one of you will get to see your past lives. One of you."
"What do you mean by 'the most important ones'?" Piper asked.
"Well, all of your past lives are important. They're all essential to making each of you who you are today. Some of these past lives are even more important. The lessons learned are greater, the lives you led were harder or easier. When your looking for perspective, that's what you go for," Leo answered. "It's your decision to decide who goes," he reminded. "Let me know tomorrow morning. I'll take you to the first one."
"Wait, you get to see all of your past lives and ours?"
"Well, if it helps, it's not all of yours. Besides, you'll need a ride home."
(that night)
"So…" Phoebe started, coming into Prue's room. They sat on her bed.
"What do you think?"
It was nighttime by now, but the sisters hadn't talked about who would get to go.
"I think if Billy and Joyce don't get back together--"
"Not about a soap opera. About--"
"I know what you meant…" Phoebe took in a breath and let it out slowly. "And I think it's a cool chance for us, but that it sucks that only one of us can go."
"And that we can't go with to see, anyway," Piper added, standing in the doorway.
"Piper, pull up a bed."
Piper sat on the bed between Prue and Phoebe. "We should at least be able to all go together, even if it's only for one of us."
"Yeah, I mean, we're family in every life," Prue stated.
"Sisters," Phoebe suggested.
"Cousins," Piper added.
"Ugh, don't remind me…" Phoebe groaned.
"So if we're family in every life, we have to be in each others' past lives. So we could go to see all of us at once."
"Yeah, but I think it would center around one sister," Piper said, taking the hope out of Prue's voice.
"Yeah…"
"Okay, we can't sit around and wish it could be different. We have to make a decision," Phoebe said.
Piper nodded her agreement.
"Well, I think I kinda want to know what I was like throughout time…" Prue said.
"Not me." Phoebe shook her head.
"Huh?"
"I already know. I was evil."
"Only in that one. You're good here. Maybe you had some non-demonic Antons in the past," Prue said. She and Piper both laughed.
"Maybe we'll have past lives that are normal. No magic. I mean, our past lives don't have to be in our family," Piper spoke up.
"No, they don't…"
"So that leaves you and Piper." Phoebe scooted back on the bed.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I got to see one of my past lives. It's one of your turns now."
"Okay…"
"Prue, I think you should go. I mean, you've always been the one who does all the work and doesn't get the benefits," Piper said.
"You should. I can't miss work."
"That's not the point."
"No. I think you should go, Piper. I mean, Leo's going, too, so you'll get to see some of his past lives, too. You could learn something."
"Where'd you get that idea?" Piper asked.
"Think about it, Piper. You and Leo have been together in every life. That means that if he was in it, you were in it. That's a past life for both of you at once. You could even meet Lily." Phoebe voice had a "duh" tone to it.
Piper considered the possibilities. "No, it's selfish. Prue should go. She deserves a break. Maybe she could learn something from the Past Prues."
"I don't want to learn anything from Past Prue, or whatever my name… names were. I want to try to make it work for Present Prue. Piper, you have to go."
"I can't--Really?"
"Yeah. Go have fun. Watch Past Piper run around. And remember everything. Take a camera or something."
Piper smiled.
(the next morning)
"You sure about this?" Leo asked the sisters.
"Yeah. Just uh, be careful. And be back--"
"It could be weeks to us, but it'll only feel like hours here," Leo cut Phoebe off.
"Oh. That's good."
"We'll be back," Piper repeated for about the seventh time that hour.
"Okay. Have fun."
"Bye," Piper cut it short, not letting her sisters say their everlasting goodbyes.
Piper and Leo orbed out.

A/N: I know, it was kinda... Well, it didn't feel like me. (I blame it on Brain.) But just so you know, each chapter will be another past life, starting way, way, way, way, way far back and coming forward. That means there'll be about five or six chapters to the whole thing. But the chapters will be long. That, or I'll have to...name them... Formal names. Yeah.
Okay, ignore me. Just please review! I love it when you do!
PS: My brain hates me.
