Room 208, Saturday Evening

[blessed_twice]

There was a plan.

It may not have been a good plan. But it was a plan.

But they would need the Power of Three, well, two thirds of it at least. So before going to the common room to play charades, Wyatt called his mom.

Comments

Piper glanced at the caller ID and then answered the phone. "Hey Wyatt. Any news?"

[blessed_twice]

"Well, we've got a way to the Underworld," Wyatt said. "My roommate Tannim can open up a portal there."

[absolutesnark]

"That's good news," Piper said. "Except for the part where we have to go to Underworld."

[blessed_twice]

"Yeah," Wyatt said. "But I don't think they'd come if we invite them to tea or something."

[absolutesnark]

Piper sighed. "I know. So, I guess we need to think of a plan, huh?"

[blessed_twice]

"We're...going to go Monday night," Wyatt said hesitantly.

[absolutesnark]

"Okay, that gives us a few days," Piper said. "We can do this."

She sounded confident, but deep down, she was nervous.

[blessed_twice]

"Can you...you and Aunt Paige get there?" Wyatt asked hesitantly. "Orb there?"

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah, that'll probably be easiest," Piper agreed. "I just hope...I hope Phoebe can be convinced..."

[blessed_twice]

"You can do it," Wyatt assured Piper. "I know you can."

[absolutesnark]

"She was here yesterday wanting to help an innocent," Piper said. "Maybe that's a good sign."

[blessed_twice]

"That's a very good sign," Wyatt said, feeling a little encouraged. "We just gotta get her away from him and she'll be okay."

[absolutesnark]

"I got angry at her, though," Piper said, sounding guilty. "What if I pushed her away?"

[blessed_twice]

"She'll know where her duty is," Wyatt insisted. "She's a Charmed One."

[absolutesnark]

"This is true," Piper said hopefully. "She'll do the right thing. She has to."

[blessed_twice]

"We're gonna bring some people from school with us," Wyatt said. "Figure we can use all the help we can get."

[absolutesnark]

"Definitely," Piper agreed. "Have you or anyone figured out if we can save Bel?"

[blessed_twice]

"No," Wyatt said reluctantly. "We haven't. I don't know if there's a way to make him snap out of it."

[absolutesnark]

"I was afraid you'd say that," Piper said sadly.

[blessed_twice]

"Maybe Phoebe can?" Wyatt said. "Get through to him, I mean. Who else is he close to?"

[absolutesnark]

Piper thought about that for a moment. "Angel. I should probably let him know what's going on."

[blessed_twice]

"Who's that?" Wyatt asked. He thought he'd heard the name before, but he wasn't sure.

[absolutesnark]

"He's a vampire," Piper explained. "But he has a soul. So he and Bel have a lot in common."

[blessed_twice]

"A vampire named Angel?" Wyatt said. "That's kinda ironic. But he's a good guy?"

[absolutesnark]

"He's a good vampire, yes," Piper said. "But you do not want to meet him when he is soulless."

[blessed_twice]

"I'll keep that in mind," Wyatt said, not too sure about this "good vampire" thing, but then again, his aunt married a demon, so what did he know? "You think he can help?"

[absolutesnark]

"That's what I'm hoping," Piper said. "We can use all the help we can get, like you said."

[blessed_twice]

"If you trust him, that's fine with me," Wyatt said.

[absolutesnark]

"I do," Piper said. "Anyway, I should probably fill Paige in on what's going on."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt nodded at the phone. "Probably a good idea," he said. "I have to get anyway. I'm supposed to be playing charades in the common room tonight, believe it or not."

[absolutesnark]

"That sounds like fun. Might be good to take your mind off everything for a little while," Piper said. "I'll talk to you later, then. Night Wyatt."

[blessed_twice]

"Night," Wyatt said, flipping his phone closed.
