::Prue opens the door to the guest room and finds it pristine.::

"Ah, Piper."

(Paige'll be happy at least I'm not trying to overhaul her room wanting it back.)

::She gets ready for bed, then goes, falling asleep.::

::After a couple of hours, something wakes Prue and she opens her eyes. A few seconds later, she's sitting up. She slouches and takes a sip of stale water from the glass beside her bed.::

(Okay. Let's work on this.)

::She astrals out, her head slumping down.::

::Astral Prue appears standing a meter or so away from Prue. She stares hard at her real body, willing it to move.::

"C'mon."

::Stepping forwards, she takes a hold of herself under the chin and lifts her face.::

"Wake up."

[Not yet, Prue.]

::Disappointed, Astral Prue lifts Prue's hand up and lets go, trying to get it to stay up.::

::Flop. Prue's hand hits into her knee.::

::AP sighs.::

"Fine. Be that way."

::She wanders around the room, looking at the various things Piper's put in it.::

(I don't really understand how I'm supposed to practise being in two places at once if I can't even wake up the real me. It's so hard. It feels like I need to split my mind in two, as well as my body.)

::The door slowly opens and Piper peeks around the edge, seeing Prue sitting on the bed.::

"Prue?"

::She sees the astral projection standing by the window and cocks her head.::

"What're you doing, honey?"

::AP turns around and looks at Piper, her face somewhat emotionless.::

"Practising my power. I'm trying to get control of both bodies at once. Not happening, though."

::Piper walks over to Astral Prue and bites her lip, thinking.::

"Should you really be doing this right now? Don't you think you should be resting up?"

"I've been resting up for like three years, Piper. Or four, or however many it was. And I need to ensure that I'm strong, and quickly, in case we have an attack like that again. So this time I won't die."

"Well, running yourself into the ground with exhaustion isn't going to help, Prue. Working on your powers is great and all, I mean, we could all do it more, but you're kinda... fragile, right now, you know?"

::Piper puts a hand on Prue's arm.::

"Your body's been through a lot in the last few days. So's your mind. You should take it easy."

"Maybe."

::Astral Prue disappears.::

::Prue gasps and raises her head. She takes a second to get used to her new position, and then gets onto the bed to lean against her pillows and talk to her sister.::

"What're you doing here anyway? Everything okay?"

::Nodding, Piper sits down at Prue's feet and looks at her.::

"I'm fine. I just wanted to come through and..."

::She smiles a little, gazing into her own lap.::

"It's still really hard to believe, you know?"

::Wetting her lips, Prue plays with the bedsheets as she listens.::

"I know. I'm still trying to cope here, but even then, it doesn't feel as weird for me as I think it does for you."

"How? You, you came back from the dead, Prue. Surely that's having some big impact on you?"

"You'd think."

::The sheets tighten from Prue gripping them.::

"But... I don't really feel all that different. I don't remember 'waking up'. I don't know how I got out of that grave but I must've done it myself."

::She pulls her hand up and fidgets with them in her lap.::

"Which I'm, you know, pretty glad about. I don't want to remember it. It just seems like a dream. And then I was here, and it was all coming back. My life was coming back and my death was fading away. And now I feel almost normal again."

::Piper's mind fills with intrigue at Prue's response, questions wanting to pour out to her sister, but she controls herself and stays calm.::

"So you don't remember being dead? You don't know where you were? Were you... anywhere?"

::So she doesn't really control herself.::

::Le shrug.::

"Couldn't tell you. Which, you know, sucks, because it'd be so great to know about my own life after death... but I really can't remember a thing. It just feels like I've literally been asleep that whole time."

::Prue draws her knees up as something comes to her.::

"The only feeling I get is that I... dreamed."

::Piper is fascinated.::

"Dreamed? About what?"

"I don't know. Don't remember. I just have this feeling that I wasn't like... non-existant. I existed. I had a consciousness. Whether that consciousness was in my body or in Heaven or Up There or... wherever... I don't know. I think They've modified my memory on purpose."

"It'd make sense, I guess. Knowing about the afterlife, like, the non-magical one, is a pretty sacred thing. Like knowing about Up There... I know that whenever I go Up There, I can't remember anything about it when I come home."

::She smiles a little.::

"Pesky Elders."

"Something like that."

::Prue reaches out and pokes Piper with a foot.::

"Okay you. Back to bed."

::Piper frowns, stroking Prue's leg.::

"Are you sure, sweetie? You don't wanna talk anymore?"

"Kinda talked out right now. I'm gonna go and make myself something to eat though."

::Prue gets up and strokes a hand through Piper's hair, before leaving and going down to the kitchen.::

::Piper gets up with a small sigh, and goes to her bedroom.::

::Yawning as she walks in, Prue crawls into bed and briefly entertains the idea of locating Andrea's sister Sharon for some intelligent conversation.::

(Eh ho-ey bitch...)

::Prue snuggles down since she's been up most of the night, and falls asleep.::

::Leo knocks on the door and walks in. Seeing Prue's asleep, he considers the importance of the matter, and gently wakes her.::

"You need to come downstairs. Phoebe has something she wants to say."

::He goes back to the kitchen.::

::Prue gets up reluctantly and goes to the kitchen.::

::Bedzzzzz.::

::Prue's eyes open as her astral projection returns. She gets out of bed and takes a shower, before coming back and getting dressed in her kickass clothes. I know all of her clothes are kickass, but trust me, these are really kickass. She stands in front of the mirror and adjusts her jacket before heading down to the kitchen.::

:: Moony walks acround Prue's bedroom, runningher hands over things and picking up bits and bobs. Basically, she's pawing at all of Prue's belongings. She turns to face the door, waiting for Brennan.::

::Brennan enters, ripping off his shirt.::

"Okay, then..."

::He steps closer to Moony.::

:: Moony takes her time eyeing Brennan good and proper. She drops her long jacket onto the floor and just stands there staring at him, smirking.::

"You don't waste any time, do you?"

"Nope. I may be dangerous but I'm not stupid. We need to do this before they return."

::He rushedly kisses her, undoing whatever buttons or straps or whatever.::

:: Moony wraps her arms around Brennan, and jumps up so that she can do the same with her legs around his waist. Can Brennan hold her up? I wonder.::

::Who knows? Anyway, Brennan falls on top of Moony as they approach the bed.::

:: Anything else that Brennan is wearing is coming off pretty fast. She hasn't had any in a while you see.::

::Neither has he. Fades out.::
