It was early morning and the sun shone in upon the Halliwell Manor. Phoebe walked in to find Prue munching away at a muffin while reading the daily newspaper.

"Good morning dear sister!" Phoebe chirped happily.

Prue glanced at her sister tiredly and asked, "What makes you so happy this early in the morning?"

"Why makes you so grouchy this early in the morning?" Phoebe replied without the same zest she had just moments before.

Prue laughed half-heartedly and responded dryly, "Would you like a list?"

Phoebe pulled up a chair and sat down ready to listen to her sisters troubles, but immediately stood back up. "Oops! Sorry honey but I can't stay. I have to go and do the college thing! But you stay here and make that list."

Prue glared at her sister. "Go ahead to you class...my troubles will still be here when you get back."

"Sweetie, we both know that when I get back you'll put on that fake smile and pretend this whole thing never happened, so promise me that we'll talk about this later."

Prue gave her reluctant nod and gave a glance to the clock. "Pheebs, you'd better get going so you're not late."

Phoebe nodded and began to head for the door, pausing for a moment to look back at Prue. "What are you doing today anyway?" she asked.

"Well I don't have to be at 415 today, so nothing. Why do you ask?"

"Then you should go play with Piper. You know, a sister day...minus one," Phoebe answered.

Prue smiled," One, Piper's probably spending her day with Leo. Two, it's not a sister day if it's minus one."

Phoebe giggled. "I am the life of the party aren't I?"

"Go now," Prue answered.

Phoebe left and Prue smiled to herself. What am I going to do with her?, Prue thought.



Upstairs Piper woke up to the sun shining on her face. Feeling a warm body next to hers, she smiled to herself. The whole night with out being called, she thought happily. She nuzzled her face into Leo's shirt and began to drift back to sleep, when he stirred next to her.

Piper looked up at him and smiled. "Good morning sweetie!"

"Morning," came the sleepy, mumbled reply.

"How did you sleep?" she asked.

Leo smiled. "The best sleep I've had in weeks thanks to you."

She giggled and squirmed up to where she could look directly into his eyes. "What do you want to do today?" she questioned.

"Piper, you know what I want to do today," he grinned.

Piper slapped him playfully knowing exactly what he was thinking. "Well I guess we should just play it by ear then," she suggested.

"Good idea," he smiled. He gently began to nibble on her ear. "Very good idea."

Piper squealed as he began to kiss her face and neck. "Wait, wait, wait! I have morning breath!"

He rolled his eyes as she squirmed out of his hold and reached over to her night table to grab a pack of mints. She popped on in her mouth and he grabbed them from her taking one for himself.

"Alright," she exclaimed, "now you may continue!"

He smiled as he grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him and devouring her neck.



Down deep in the underworld Maximus paced back and forth in deep thought. Destroying the Charmed Ones was a one way ticket to being destroyed yourself. But it was worth a try if the Source was on your tail. He figured he could go down while trying to kill the Charmed Ones and that would give him at least some glory for trying. Or he could go down in shame by the Source. I need a plan. Can't do anything without a plan, he thought.

"Alright Maximus," he said, "how to destroy the Charmed Ones."

Great! Now I'm talking to myself, he thought. I'm on my way to going mad!

"To get them down a sister would be a start. But that's been done, and then failed to work. But what if I were to take something from each of them? To weaken them! Now we're getting somewhere!"

He sat paced more in deep thought finding a way to weaken them. Finding that he was getting nowhere he decided to call on some help. He decided to summon a demon he had connections with. An old demon named Garron.

Garron responded to the summoning and grinned when he saw Maximus.

"I take it you need help with the Charmed Ones?" Garron asked.

"You know?" responded Maximus.

"Everyone knows. How can I help you?"

"I need to figure out how to weaken them. To make them less of a threat."

Garron looked at his friend. "You and about a million other demons. Well you could try by taking something away. Something they take for granted. Like their..." Garron paused for a moment, "Like their senses! Human senses aid the witches. For example, if they could not see, the couldn't know where you were. If they could not hear, they wouldn't be able to know you were approaching from behind. If they could not speak, they couldn't use spells or call to one another."

Maximus began to catch on to Garron's idea. He began to like it too. "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."

"Exactly!" Garron exclaimed.

"But how?" Maximus questioned his friend.

"Call for them. Summon them in order. The eldest's sight, the middle sister's hearing, and the youngest's ability to speak. It is possible."

Maximus smiled, "Then it will be done."
