It had been about two weeks since Dee had stay at left to see the Elders. Leo and the girls had finished a huge dinner earlier, and were still sitting in the living room talking. Leo and Piper were sitting in a chair together, where Paige and Phoebe were sharing the couch. The antique grandfather clock rung out as it struck twelve. The four of them looked up and realized how late it was.

"It's midnight? I'm going to die at work tomorrow." Paige sighed.

"That last time we were all up at midnight together, it was because of Dee." Piper reminisced.

"Yeah, what happen with her and the Elders?" Phoebe asked Leo.

"I'm not sure. When we went up, I had to leave for another charge." Leo responded.

"Did she have any relatives?"

"Nope…"

"Do you think she's with Children's Services?" Paige asked.

"No, she's not, but you're out of soda again." A voice said from behind them. Everyone turned around to see Dee standing there, drinking a can of orange soda.

"Dee?" Piper said as she got up and hugged her.

"The name hasn't changed." Dee managed to mumble through Piper's tight hug. Phoebe and Paige got a chance to hug her too. They sat down together on the couch, and Piper returned to Leo.

"So, what happened?" Phoebe asked, kind of excited.

"The elders found out I chose the side of good. They want me to get rid of my demonic powers, but shimmering is so much faster than orbing."

"Hey!" Leo said.

"No offense, but it looks cooler too."

"What happen to your blue highlights?" Paige asked, since she had liked them before. Dee ran her fingers through her hair.

"The school made me dye my hair totally black. They're strict about being yourself… it's like boot camp."

"School?" Piper inquired.

"Yeah, they…" Dee looking up, "decided I should still go to school, so they sent me to this upscale academy."

"So, how did you get out and come here?" Piper asked.

"Oh, I shimmer out sometimes at night. They never know because my friend Erica always signals me back."

"Erica?" Paige asked.

"Another witch…"

"A rebel I see. Reminds me of my younger self." Phoebe said with a grin.

"Yeah, but Grams would catch you and you would pay." Piper said, laughing a little. "Oh, what was I thinking? Did you want something to eat or drink? How about some of that medicine?" Piper was now fully laughing.

"Oh, someone's a little cocky." Phoebe said grabbing and throwing a pillow at Piper. Piper froze it in midair, but didn't see Dee's pillow coming. It hit her in the head, and dropped to the floor. Piper picked it up and threw it back at them, only for it to curve head towards Paige.

"Ah!" Paige shrieked and orbed out and in. Her eyes full of shock, she tossed a pillow at Piper.

"Leo!" Piper called, but Leo orbed without her, leaving her alone in the chair for the pillow hit her.

            Leo reappeared next to the chair, where Piper hit him with a pillow. Piper and Leo, against his will, joined together and fought Phoebe, Paige, and Dee for about an hour. Of course it was unfair, but who cared? They stayed up and talked some more until Dee fell asleep on the couch. Leo had orbed Dee back to the academy.

"I know the elders will have fun handling that one." Piper said, heading upstairs.

"Yep…" Phoebe said, turning off the lights.

That'll end this story. Maybe I'll write a fanfic with Dee at her new school? I don't know…
