3.02 It's About Time/Script

[Setting: The attic. Prue is showing The Book to Anna.] Anna: Are you really serious the book is almost three-hundred years old? Prue: Actually, a little over 300. My sisters and I actually traveled back in time and we saw Melinda Warren. Prue: And that book's pretty powerful too. It stops evil from touching it. (She picks up a Mandrake Root.) Now come on, let' s get you to Piper so she can teach you potion making. Anna: (checking watch) Actually, I need to go back to Berkeley. Class starts in 15 minutes. Hopefully, I can get there in time. By the way, have any of you seen mom? Prue: I haven't seen her all day. Mom! (Patty orbs in.) Patty: What's wrong? What happened? Prue: Anna was asking about you. Patty: And apparently, the four of you miss me. Prue: That's true. Anna: Anyway, I need to go. See you later. (She turns around and exits the manor.) Prue: I wish we had grown up with her, and you hadn't died, mom. Patty: Me too sweetie, but we can't change the past. [Cut to Anna who's driving her car. Suddenly, it slows down and within seconds, stops completely.] Anna: (unbuckling seatbelt) Oh, this cannot be happening. (She opens the hood and begins to look in it at the engine. A demon flames in behind her and creates a fireball. She screams, turning around. The demon throws the fireball and she screams again, tensing up. She vanishes in a glow of yellow light.) [Setting: Anna's house. Anna appears in a yellow light.] Anna: Wha-? How'd I end up back at the house? (walking) Hayden, you here? (You can hear a little girl's giggle and Anna turns around. She sees nothing. There's another laugh and Anna turns around again. It's an 8 year old girl with a teddy bear in her hand.) Anna: (quietly) Did I just...? I just traveled through time! Opening Credits [Anna keeps looking around. Suddenly, she sees a dark-haired woman coming down the stairs.] Anna: (panicking) Oh god, oh god, I gotta hide! (She suddenly turns invisible.) Catherine: Anna, where are you? I know you're here somewhere. [The little girl sits on the sofa, and turns the TV on. Star Wars: Episode VI is airing.] Little Anna: Here, mommy! Catherine: (entering) Hey Annie. What you watching? Little Anna: Star Wars, mommy. I think I have a crush on Luke Skywalker. [She starts running when Darth Vader appears on TV] Catherine: Don't worry, mommy's here. Little Anna: I wish I could be Luke's younger sister, mommy. Anna & Little Anna: So I could spend more time with him! Catherine: What? Little Anna: Nothing! Catherine: Go get dressed. I'll be there in a minute. Little Anna: (running) Okay! (She passes future Anna on the way, who quietly shushes her. Little Anna nods and runs past her.) Little Anna: (thinking) I wanna see Luke for real! Catherine: (walking towards Anna) Anna, go get-! (She sees Anna.) Who are you?! Anna: Would you believe me if I said I was your Anna? (Catherine throws a fireball at Anna and she ducks.) Anna: You can throw fireballs?! Catherine: Wait, are you magical too? Anna: I already told you, I'm your adopted daughter from the future. What year is this? Catherine: 1984. Anna: Star Wars is on TV?! [She runs to the TV and sees the classical I'm your father scene] Anna: Man, I'll never forget that scene. That changed my world. Catherine: Do you still have a crush on Luke? Anna: (signs with her fingers) A little. Catherine: Some things never change. So how'd you get here? The past, I mean. Anna: I don't know. Catherine: You have no idea, whatsoever? Anna: I was fixing my car, and a demon attacked. I screamed and poof, I was here. Catherine: You just appeared? You must've time traveled. Penny told me you were powerful, just didn't know how powerful. Anna: Penny? Catherine: Your biological grandomother. Anna: Prue talks a lot about her. I just met my sisters, you know. Catherine: You have sisters? How many? Anna: Yeah. I have three sisters. Catherine: To think Patty's daughters were the Charmed Ones. Anna: So what are you mom? Catherine: That's a little hard to explain. Anna: Why do you say that? Catherine: Because I'm not just one thing, I'm two. Anna: Like a hybrid? Catherine: Yup. I'm a Whitelighter-Witch. Anna: A what?! Commercial Break [Setting: Halliwell Manor, Present. Piper's pacing the floor, while Prue's on the phone.] Prue: Okay Darryl, tell me if she shows up. (She hangs up.) Piper: What's the matter? Prue: Darryl's out searching for her and she's still not at the school. Piper: MOM! (Patty orbs in.) Did you see Anna? Patty: Still can't sense her. She could be anywhere in the Underworld, but I can't sense down there. No whitelighter can. Prue: Well, we may not have a Whitelighter to help, but luckily we have a Phoebe. Piper: I have a feeling something weird might have happened. Prue: (sarcastically) I didn't notice. Our sister just disappeared off the face of the Earth and only God knows where she is. Patty: What about Damien? He could sense for her. Phoebe: Maybe I can help, mom. Prue: Phoebe, I was just about to call you. (to Piper) We need something of Anna's, ASAP. (to Phoebe) Think you can call for a premonition to find out where she is? Phoebe: I can try. Piper: (coming back with a jacket.) I found her jacket. Do you think it'll work? Phoebe: (grabbing jacket) I can try; not sure if it'll... (She tenses up, being pulled in a premonition.) Prue: What are you seeing? Phoebe: Anna being attacked by a demon, when she suddenly vanished. Patty: Vanished? What do you mean? Phoebe: She was there one minute and then the next, poof. Prue: Well, we need to find her. (going upstairs) Let's go up to the attic and see if we can scry for her. [Piper, Phoebe and Patty follow Prue to the attic] Prue: I need the jacket. [Setting: Anna's house, 1984. Little Anna is watching Star Wars alongside future Anna. Both Annas sigh lovingly as Luke comes onscreen.] Little Anna: He's so cute. Anna: I know. Sure wish I could make him real. Little Anna: Why don't you try? Anna: No I shouldn't, Can't risk changing my future, well, can't risk changing it anymore. Little Anna: Fine then, I will. (She flicks her hand at the TV and it glows before Luke falls out of it.) Luke: What's going on? Anna: Lu-Luke? Luke Skywalker? Luke: Yes. Do-do I know you? You seem really familiar? Like I've met you before. Have I? Anna: Mom! Might wanna get in here and see what she... I... we did. God, I hate time travel. Way too confusing. [Little Anna smiles] Little Anna: Luke, you're really here! Luke: Who is this little girl? Anna: Me. Luke: But... (yells) Yoda, I need your help! Anna: You can't get to him. He's in a different realm. Luke: Send me back where I came from. Anna: Wish I knew how, but I don't. Luke: And who might you be? Anna: Anna. Anna Donnelly. [They shake hands] Luke: Nice to meet you. Anna: You too. (pulling Little Anna away) Okay, you've had enough. Go to your... my... our...? Just get out of here. (Little Anna angrily stomps away.) Luke: So Anna, where are we? Anna: My house in 1984. Luke: Which planet is this? Clearly, this is not Coruscant. Anna: Well, welcome to Earth Monsieur. (Luke looks at her questioningly.) That's French. You'll get it. Luke: How do you know me, Anna? Anna: Hehe... Look on the TV. (Luke turns and sees Yoda and the others celebrating the victory against Darth Vader on Coruscant.) Anna: You're actually a character in a movie franchise. Little Anna made you real, Luke. Luke: So now, I'm Pinnochio? Anna: Kind of. [Suddenly, Anakin Skywalker's spirit appears on TV. Luke looks surprised.] Luke: That's my dad. Anna: He's not going to hurt you Luke, you're in the real world. Luke: Can you please stop saying "real world" please? Anna: Fine. [Anakin waves at them from the TV] Anna: How in the world can he see us? He shouldn't be able to do that. Luke: Maybe he can because he's my dad. I was brought here by the little one, so he can interact with us because of me. Anna: Maybe. (Catherine enters with Little Anna pulling her. She gasps once she sees Luke.) Anna: Mom, mom, listen. Little Anna did this, not me. Catherine: Luke Skywalker's in our home? Anna: Yeah. Do you have any problems with that? If you do, I'll take Luke with me when I find a way to get back. Catherine: You need to bring him back to his world. Luke: Please stop saying that. Anna: Well, I don't want to bring him back to his world, I want him to stay in ours. Luke: I can't because I lost all my stuff in Tatooine. Anna: We'll just buy you new stuff when we get back to 2001. Luke: Thank you. Catherine: No "thank you". We need to bring you back to your world before ours falls out of balance. Luke: (waving hands) Can you please stop saying that?! Anna: If we talk to the elders, nothing bad will happen. Catherine: We have a Jedi in our house, Anna; things are already bad. Anna: Well, we are dealing with Magic. Can't we talk to the elders? Catherine: I don't think that's a good idea. Anna: I'm going whether you like it or not. Luke: You can go, but it's better that you get back home. I'll go with you, if you like me so much. Anna: (badly acting like she doesn't; voice raising a few octaves) What? Tha-that's so ridiculous and... Okay fine. But we need to get back home. Sure wish I knew how. (Prue, Piper and Phoebe appear next to her.) Anna: Piper? Phoebe? Prue? Wha-what are you doing here? Prue: We're here to take you back home. (Looking at Luke) Luke Skywalker? Anna: I'll explain when we get back home. (to Catherine) Mom, please wipe my memory of this. To preserve the future. Catherine: Okay. I hope you still remember it when you get home. [She watches as the girls travel back to 2001. After they're gone, she wipes Little Anna's memory] [Setting: Halliwell Manor, Present. The girls appear in a twinkle of white orbs.] Anna: Thank goodness I'm home. Mom! (Patty orbs in.) Orb me and Luke up to the Elders. Patty: Luke? Anna: Skywalker. You know, from the Star Wars franchise. Patty: Uhh, okay. (Patty grabs them and they orb out.) [Setting: Halliwell Manor, Conservatory. 4 hours later. Anna's out on the Conservatory with Luke. Anna sighs contently.] Prue: Why are you smiling? Anna: Just glad to be with the guy I've dreamed about forever. Prue: You mean Luke is staying? Luke: You know, it's weird. We only met a couple of hours ago, and yet, I feel like I've known you forever. Anna: Maybe we're soulmates. Luke: Maybe so. We have our entire lives to figure it out. (They kiss.) End Episode
