The sisters were waiting when the door opened. Cole walked in. The sisters and young Piper were cautious. "Where's Leo?" asked older Piper.

"He had to check on one of his other charges." It was obvious that he was lying. Sign one that it was a fake Cole.

"Can I see your arm?" asked young Piper.

"Why?" He sounded scared. Sign two.

"I think you're bleeding." Cole looked down and saw blood. An old would from this little brat's mother. None the less, he held out his arm. Young Piper saw where he was cut.

"How long have you had this cut?" asked Phoebe

"You know I've had it for a long time." He had no idea that this reality's Cole never had that cut. Sign three.

"Thanks. Let's kill him," said Prue.

"But it's me!" he yelled.

"Nope. You're my Cole, not their's. Where's the vanquishing potion?" asked young Piper, starting to circle him.

"Let me do the honors," said older Piper. She threw it and Cole destroyed it instantly. What he didn't know was that young Piper had one behind her back that she threw at his back when she was behind him. He had been so distracted by older Piper he never knew what hit him until it was too late. He was gone and young Piper could finally go home.

A portal opened in front of young Piper. The sisters came around to say goodbye. Older Piper was last.

"Thank you," said young Piper. "I can't wait to be like you."

"Well, you've got some time. Enjoy your childhood." They hugged and young Piper stepped through.

When she got to the other side, her family was waiting for her. "Where have you been?" asked Prue. Piper just smiled before she told them the entire story.

"And the best part is we don't have to worry about Belthazor anymore," she finished. She went upstairs to her room when she was done to rest. But before she could, her Whitelighter appeared to congratulate her. But it was a different Whitelighter. It was Leo.

"Leo?" she asked in disbelief.

"Yes. I guess you met the other me." She nodded. "I'm the one who saved you. I am your Whitelighter now."

"Why?"

"The Elders told me to look after you and your sisters."

Piper smiled. "I guess some things don't change," she said, for she found herself falling for him. But right now, she needed sleep. And she was glad to be home at last.
