Chapter 1: No Time for Breakfast

Piper was awoken early Monday morning by the sound of Chris crying. She got up and went to his room. "Good morning, Chris," she said, in a groggy voice. She picked him up and started to feed him. "I'm getting too old for this," she said, still half asleep. Before putting him to back to bed, she changed his diaper. "Good night, sweetie." Then she noticed the clock. It was nearly seven in the morning. "Or should I say, 'Good morning.'"

She walked downstairs to make breakfast. She was really feeling horrible. Besides the early morning alarm clock, she had a migraine and a sick feeling to her stomach. It was nearly an hour before any of her sisters came down. First was Paige.

"Sorry, Piper," she said as she walked into the kitchen. "I have to get going. I have no time for breakfast." With that, she orbed off. Phoebe came down with the same news.

"I've got to go to work. My column won't write itself you know." She ran out the door as quickly as she had come down the stairs.

"I spent an hour of making breakfast, for no one to eat it?" she asked herself. Leo came into the kitchen.

"I'll eat," he said. "I have no where to be." Piper fixed him a plate of bacon and eggs. Leo noticed Piper looked ill. "What's wrong, Piper," he asked. "You look horrible."

She glared at him. "Thank you," she said sarcastically.

"You know that's not what I meant. You should go upstairs and get some rest, I'll take care of the boys today."

"No, no," she said, "I'm okay."

"You need to get some rest. You've been getting up early almost every morning for the past month. You're getting worn down. Now get upstairs and get some sleep."

Piper reluctantly followed his orders and went upstairs. The moment her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep.

Piper woke up in a strange jungle. Where am I, she thought. She started to walk around. There were trees and exotic plants everywhere.

"Leo!" she called out. "Phoebe! Paige!" She heard no answer. What the hell, she thought to herself. After a long while of walking, Piper got to a cave. She walked inside. It was dark and damp. It also had a very bad smell.

"Hello, there," a voice said behind her. She turned around and saw Cole. "Did you miss me?" he asked.

"What have you done to me you bastard?" she demanded to know.

"What's with the attitude. Remember,I saved your life and Phoebe's love. You should be thankful for me. I haven't done anything to you." He smiled at her. "How's Phoebe?"

"Shut up, Cole!" she yelled, holding her hands up to blow him up.

Piper woke up wet and sweaty. "It was all a dream," she told herself. "Just a dream." But she wasn't sure if it was just a dream or not.
