Paige sighed as she flipped through the Sears catalog. The day was slow. Too slow for her. She needed action. Adventure. She never liked just sitting around waiting for demons to show up. Phoebe entered the living room with a big album in her hand.

"What's that?" Paige asked.

"Ohh…this is a photo album…I figured we could take a look at it. Just to pass the time"

"Good…I need something else to look at."

Phoebe flipped through the pages. Sighing, the memories that came flowing back to her mind.

Paige felt a little uneasy. The pictures all showed Piper and Phoebe's older sister, Prue. Who had passed away not long ago. Even though she had been welcome as the third sister to complete the Power of Three. She knew she couldn't ever take the place of the infamous Prue Halliwell. No one could.

"Oh my gosh…" Phoebe said pointing to a picture, "That is when we first moved back into the manner…I'd just lost my job so I moved back in with Prue and Piper"

Paige examined the picture.

"Wow… Prue looks good in this picture too… I wish I could've met her"

Phoebe closed the photo album.

"I'm sure you and Prue would've gotten along… But sometimes Paige… Sometime me and her didn't see eye to eye with her. But you are like her in similar ways. You're both determined, strong willed, eager to fight… that was Prue all the way"

Paige smiled. Piper came down the stairs in a hurried manner.

"Phoebe! Paige! We have company!" She shouted.

Paige and Phoebe sprung up from the couch and turned to see a demon, blowing Piper across the room. Phoebe levitated to kick his face. But the demon blew her away. Paige used her wind power to blow him back knocking the demon out. Piper came back to freeze him.

"Okay… what the heck is that?" Phoebe said dusting her pants.

"What else?" Piper asked rhetorically, "…a demon"

"Sent from the Source?" Paige asked.

"More than likely…" Piper answered.

"Well we don't have much time we need to figure out away to vanquish him…" 

Just then, the demon unfroze and disappeared.

"Okay…" Phoebe realized, "Where did it go?"

"Did we vanquish it?" Paige asked.

"I doubt it…" Piper said, "Since most demons need a spell or potion to be vanquished…not some small talk…it probably left to save its strength… It'll be back."

Phoebe suggested they take a glance at the Book of Shadows. The three of them headed up to the attic. The Book of Shadows is Piper, Phoebe and Paige's source for information on various demons and supernatural creatures. Piper flipped through the pages and managed to find the page which showed the demon they had just battled. 

"Hmmm… here it is… it's called a 'Tyme-Jumper' it has the power to create portals to go back in time." Piper explained.   

"Oh gosh… not another time expedition…" Phoebe complained.

"I'm afraid so…" Piper went on, "…obviously its out to impress the Source… which means destroying the Power of Three… which explains why it attacked us."

"Does it show any way to vanquish him?" Paige inquired.

"Yes it does…" Piper answered, "Although… these herbs for the potions are extremely limited… I'm not even sure if they're grown anymore… and if they are they'd be really hard to find"

"Isn't there any other way to vanquish him?"

"Afraid not… the potion is the only way… it shows no spell to vanquish him"

Paige sighed.

"Alright…" Phoebe began, "Piper why don't you go downstairs and see if we have any of these herbs that we need while Paige and I try to figure out a spell to use in case he comes back…"

Piper nodded and left.

"I'm not in the mood to go back in time today…" Phoebe complained as she skimmed through the pages of the book.

Paige chuckled. Phoebe looked at her.

"Something funny?"

"No… Although I don't know if I agree with you on the time traveling thing…"

"Oh really? And what would be the bright side of time traveling?"

"Well… you get to experience history as it happens… learn something new about yourself even though it was in the past… and who knows maybe we could re-write history…"

"I highly doubt it since most of the time when we get sent back into time we encounter demons, warlocks, evil witches, and witch hunters who want to do just that… and we have to stop them and we have no powers to do so because we weren't born…"

Paige thought a second.

"You have a point there…"

Phoebe nodded in agreement. Piper came back up with a bottle in her hand.

"Well the only herb we have for the potion is this but we still need a few more to actually make the potion and I'm pretty sure they don't make them anymore…" Piper announced.

Paige and Phoebe looked at each other.

"So what do we do?" Paige asked.

"There has to be an alternative way to vanquish the Tyme-Jumper… did you look through the book thoroughly?" 

Phoebe and Paige nodded.

"And…" Piper said in expectation.

"Nothing." Phoebe finished.

"Great… We have absolutely no way to vanquish this demon…" Paige sighed.

"Well we can't give up… Piper are you sure they don't make these herbs anymore?" Phoebe asked.

"Yes, I'm sure…" Piper replied, "I went to China Town yesterday and they didn't the one thing that I was looking for which just so happens to be one herb we need to vanquish the Tyme-Jumper."

Phoebe paused for a moment.

"Piper, when do you think the herbs were made?"

"Probably in the late 1960's to early 1970's…" Piper answered, "Why?"

"Well I know it's a long shot… but why doesn't one of us go back in time to get the herbs we need?" 

"Phoebe are you insane?!?" Piper ridiculed, "First off, what if the demon comes back and we need the Power of Three and second, even if we all did agree to this… how would we create a portal to go back in time…"

"The book doesn't say anything about time traveling…" Paige added.  

"I know… but we have no other choice… he could send any demon through that portal to change history which means the three of us right now wouldn't exist…" Phoebe defended her plan.

"Okay… so how do you propose we or one of us goes back in time?" Piper folded her arms.

"Well… The only way to go time traveling is if we lure the Tyme Jumper back here so that one of us can go through his portal…"

Piper spoke up again.

"That's risky because we don't know where the time portal will lead us…"

"That's a risk we have to take…" 

"Okay… I say we do this…but not one of us go, but all three… we're powerful that way…" Paige said.

Piper and Phoebe agreed. Just then a powerful wind entered the attic and a portal appeared. The Tyme Jumper came from it.

"This time I won't fail…" He said with a vengeance.

He blasted a fireball at them. Piper, Phoebe and Paige managed to dodge it. The demon then blew from its breath a cold wind that blew everything away. The sisters struggled but made it to the portal.

"Should we go in?" Paige asked.

"Yes…Go!" Phoebe shouted.

Paige went first. Then Phoebe. The Tyme Jumper knew what they were doing and tried to stop them but Piper freezes him then entered the portal. The portal closed. Leaving a frozen Tyme-Jumper in the attic.

Piper felt like she was falling…then she landed hard on the floor. A familiar floor. She got up to see Paige and Phoebe helping her. They looked around. It was the Manor.

"That portal didn't take us anywhere did it?" Paige asked aloud.

"Only to the corridor of the manor…" Phoebe replied.

Piper looked around and noticed something out of place.

"Wait a minute… Phoebe didn't we take that vase down to the basement?"

Phoebe turned around.

"Yeah… We did…"

"Then what's it doing back upstairs…"

A voice boomed from behind them.

"Who are you?"

They turned around to see their mother. Patricia "Patty" Halliwell. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige's mother who passed away by the hands of a demon when they were little.

"Mom…" Phoebe said softly.

"Excuse me?" Patty asked.

"Ummm… Oh gosh…" Piper struggled to explain.

"Well?" Patty asked waiting impatiently.

"We're…we are…" Phoebe began.

"…You're daughters" Paige finished.

Piper and Phoebe glared at Paige.

"What?"

They looked at their mother who seemed to be confused.

"Listen I don't know what kind of joke this is… but it isn't very funny. I don't have any kids… Well not yet anyways…"

"What do you mean by that?" Piper asked.

"I'm pregnant with my firstborn…" she explained.

Piper and Phoebe were silenced for minute. Their oldest sister was alive in their mother's womb.

The portal opened up again and the Tyme-Jumper came through. Blasting Patty away. Piper tried to freeze him but her powers didn't work in the past. Patty came back and with the wave of her hand…the Tyme-Jumper flew back into the portal and the portal closed up.

"That's the one thing I hate about time traveling…" Piper complained, "…no powers!"

Patty stood in front of the sisters.

"What was that?" she asked.

"That was Tyme-Jumper… its power is to create portals to different times" Phoebe explained.

"Well it's not everyday we get three women falling from the sky and then a demon shows up after them…" Patty noted,"…although I don't think you'd be lying about the Tyme-Jumper… we've encountered them before…"

Paige was confused.

"We?" She asked.

Just then Piper and Phoebe's grandmother Penny Halliwell otherwise known as Gramms. Stepped lightly down the stairs to see what the commotion was about. Once again Piper and Phoebe quieted down. For their Gramms had passed away just before Prue, Piper and Phoebe knew they were witches.

"It's alright mother," Patty reassured, "…the demon is gone for the time being."

"What was it?" Penny asked.

"A Tyme Jumper…" she replied.

"Oh no… I don't want you to do any stressful things while you're pregnant Patty…"

"Mother… you're not helping anything…"

"…I'm just trying to look after you… and I—"

Gramms stopped in mid-sentence to look at the sisters.

"Who are you? Aren't you a little old for girl scouts?"

"Aren't you a little old… period?" Paige mumbled.

Phoebe kicked her shin basically a sign saying "Shut up".

"Mother… they claim to be my daughters from the future." Patty answered.

"I don't believe it… where are your powers then?" Gramms asked expecting proof.

"They don't work in the past…"

"What are your names?"

"Piper…"

"…Phoebe…"

"…Paige."

"You name your first-born, Piper?" Gramms said looking at Patty.

"No… the name I had in mind was Prudence or Prue."

"Ack… that's even worse…"

Patty gave Gramms an exasperated look. Gramms wasn't about to give them the satisfaction that they were right.

"Okay then… what are your powers if you are witches?"

"I have the power to either speed up molecules by blowing them up or slow them down by freezing them…"  Piper said.

"…and I have the power of premonition and levitation…" Phoebe answered.

"…and I have the power to orb and to conjure the elements of fire, water, and air" Paige finished. 

Gramms suddenly stopped.

"Something wrong, Gramms?"  Piper asked.

Gramms sat down.

"Well… I had a premonition once that a demon would attack you Patty and your first born… in order to stop the Charmed Ones from being born… but three women from the future would come to intervene… only they didn't know how…"

Patty looked at Piper.

"What year in the future are you from?"

"2001…" 

"What year is it now?" Phoebe asked.

"1969…"

Phoebe looked at Piper. Piper read her mind.

"Mom… do you think you have the herbs we need to vanquish the Tyme-Jumper?"

Patty was about to answer. But Gramms did instead.

"I think we do… Follow me"

They followed Gramms into the kitchen where the herbs were kept and stocked. After a while they had two more ingredients that they needed.

"Well… we still need three more… Gramms are you sure you don't have them?" Piper asked.

"I'm sure… I don't even know if they make these. They certainly haven't come up with these just yet…"

"…What do you mean you're saying we might have to go into the future to find them?" Phoebe inquired.

"I'm afraid so…"

"So how do we get the Tyme-Jumper to come here?" Paige asked.

Patty sat down holding her stomach.

"Mother… I think…." She paused, "It's… time…"

Gramms and the Sisters helped her to the car. They started to drive off, but a time portal opened revealing a stronger Tyme-Jumper than before.

Piper, Phoebe and Paige got out.

"Gramms get mom to the hospital… we're gonna keep fighting the demon…" Piper ordered.

"Wait till we have him distracted…" Phoebe reminded.

"Yeah… his goal is to destroy Prue before she's born…" Paige finished.

With that the Tyme Jumper was faced with the Charmed Ones.

"Okay Piper what exactly do we do…" Paige asked.

"We keep this Tyme Jumper busy until Gramms and Mom can get away…" Piper stated.

"Okay… that should be easy since we have absolutely no powers whatsoever…"

"That's not helping, Paige!"

"Alright… Alright I'm sorry…"

"Hey Piper… Paige… we have the herbs we need… why don't we somehow push him back into the portal to the present time…"

"Good idea…" They agreed.

Phoebe ran to him with a kick. But the demon blew her over. Piper and Paige decided to double team him but it didn't work.

"Now what?" Paige asked.

"Piper, Phoebe, Paige stand clear!"

Before they knew it… their Mother was standing before the Tyme-Jumper.

"This is gonna be easier than I thought…" the demon beamed with pride.

"Your time is up…" Patty said as she waved her hand forcing the demon back into portal.

"Mom!" Piper cried out.

"I'll be alright… you have the herbs you need from us… you need to go back into the future to find the rest…"

"Are you sure?" Phoebe asked.

"Yes… Go…and be careful"

Once again. Paige went through the portal first. Then Phoebe and Piper. And once again they landed on the familiar floor… which was the corridor of the manor.

"Are we back again?" Paige asked.

Piper and Phoebe looked around.

"Seems like it…"

Phoebe noticed the vase wasn't there anymore.

"Yup we are look… the vase it isn't there anymore…"

"Oh thank god…" Paige sighed in relief.

Just then the door opened and two figures came in carrying groceries. Piper and Phoebe were stopped in their tracks. For the two figures were themselves. Younger. They had gone into the future alright. Just not far enough. They were now in the time when they first became witches. But what shocked them even more was seeing the third figure that came in behind them. Their oldest sister, Prue Halliwell.
