Chapter 1

Phoebe entered the kitchen that morning to find Piper cooking breakfast, as usual, and Paige sitting at the table playing on her tablet. Phoebe made her way to the coffee and poured herself a cup.

"Hey Phoebe," Paige said, "are you up for a little adventure today?" Phoebe responded with a grunting sound. "Is that a yes or a no?"

"It's a don't ask questions until the first cup of coffee of gone." Piper chimed in. Phoebe nodded in agreement. Piper brought over a plate full of pancakes and sat down. Paige set her tablet aside and reached for the pancakes.

"This looks really good, Piper. Thanks for making it." Paige said.

"So what's this little adventure you want to go on?" Phoebe asked after taking the last big gulp of her coffee.

There's a Wiccan convention at the expo center today. I think it could be fun." Paige told the sisters.

"That sounds kind of cheesy." Piper said sipping on her coffee.

"Yeah, I don't know, Paige." Phoebe said. "What's the likelihood that it's going to be real Wiccans, and not a bunch of Goth kids."

"I'm pretty sure it's going to be mostly Wiccans there." Paige said around a mouth full of pancakes.

"Paige, don't talk with your mouth full." Piper pleaded.

Paige swallowed her mouthful of pancakes and said "Look at some of the stuff that's going to be there."She handed Phoebe and Piper her tablet. Piper starts scrolling through the website while Phoebe looked over her shoulder. They saw three of the local stores that the sisters shop at regularly would be there, plus stores from all over that state.

"Look," Phoebe said, pointing to a line on the screen. "The Magic Box from Sunnydale is going to have a booth."

"You could stock up on stuff and save on shipping. What do you say Phoebe? Please. I really want to go, and I don't want to go by myself." Paige was pleading.

"If you two go, how are you going to get there, Phoebe's car is getting fixed, and who's going to watch Payton?" Piper asked.

"Damn. I forgot about your car. Can't you come to Piper? We can take Payton with us and make a day of it." Paige said.

"Take Payton where?" Prue asked as she walked into the kitchen.

"To the Wiccan convention at the expo center." Paige answered.

"You guys should go. I'll be there. The magazine is doing a full write up on it, and how much the Wiccan culture is growing." Prue told them.

"Then it's settled. We'll have a sister day." Paige proclaimed.

"I guess I can put off the paperwork at P3 for a day. You had better go get Payton up." Piper said.

"I'm on it." Paige said jumping out of her seat. She grab Piper and Phoebe in a hug, gave a squeal, and ran out of the room.

Chapter 2

"Xander, please watch where you're going." Giles said in his stuffy British accent. "That trunk is full of very fragile magical items."

Xander turned his attention back to carrying the trunk instead of looking at the girl walking by. "Can't a guy enjoy the view?" he asked, looking back at Giles.

"Xander!" He jumped at the sound of Anya's voice and ran into a table. The trunk went flying from his hands. Everyone gasped and waited for the crashing sound. But it didn't come. Willow had reached out with her magic and caught the trunk mid fall. Xander let out a sigh as the trunk floated the rest of the way to the booth they were setting up for the Magic Box at the San Francisco Wiccan convention.

"Good save sweetie" Tara said softly to Willow.

Willow had been practicing magic for a few years now and she was getting pretty good. Floating things is now as easy as breathing. She's been moving up to bigger spells. Right now she was working on perfecting a spell to conjure balls of daylight to help Buffy fight vampires.

"Xander Harris! Were you looking at that girl's butt?!" Anya asked. She could get very jealous. After all, she did spend a thousand years cursing men that were unfaithful.

"No!" Xander said in a high pitched voice. Anya gave him a look that said she didn't believe him. "Okay, I looked. I like to look. But you're the only one I want." That answer seemed to please her. She smiled and gave him a kiss.

Xander relaxed as she walked over to Willow and Tara and started giving orders in setting up the booth. He was always afraid he was going to mess this relationship up, like he had with Cordelia. Well, not exactly like that, since what messed that up was Cordelia walking in on him and Willow kissing. He was sure that wasn't going to happen again since Willow was gay now. Not that Xander didn't fantasize about what Willow and Tara did behind closed doors.

"No, no, no. You can not put demon bile next to the toad stole!" Anya's voice broke into his thoughts. He couldn't help but smile as Anya tried to take over the whole booth. He was glad that she found something she loved doing.

"Anya," Giles said, "we have a small area in which to put things."

"But it looks tacky!" Anya wined

"As long as we're not putting things together that would cause a reaction, I think we can manage." Gile tried to reason with her.

"Fine." Anya said feeling a little defeated.

"Oh my." Giles said looking at his watch. "I'm going to be late for the session on how to make sure your supplies are good quality. Anya, please try to be nice to potential customers. And Xander, just don't touch anything."

"If they have money to give to me, I'll be nice." Anya told him. She was still pretty new to customer service, but she really liked it when people gave her money. It made her feel like she had a purpose again.

"She's really getting to hang of capitalism, isn't she." Xander said to Giles in a proud way. Giles took off his glasses and starting clean them, as he always did when he was frustrated.

"Don't worry Giles, we have everything under control." Willow said

"That's what I'm afraid of." Giles said under his breath as he started to walk away. He would be happy if the booth was still standing when he returned.

Chapter 3

Payton had not wanted to get out of bed. Paige had thought the eight year old would be excited about doing something that involved magic, but Payton had pulled the covers over her head and told her to go away. After the threat of Paige singing one of Payton's most hated songs, Payton crawled out of bed and got dressed. Paige was worried about her, but Prue and Piper said they thought she was getting ready for another growth spurt. Payton was quiet the whole ride to the expo center. This really had Paige worried.

The five Halliwell sisters walked into the expo center at the main entrance. As soon as they entered Payton's eyes grow wide at the sight of all the different booths. They took a map of the convention and started looking at everything being offered. Somewhere inside they could hear drumming.

"Oh, can we go see the drummers?" Payton asked excitedly.

"That sounds like a great place to start." Prue said. "I should be able to get some good photos there."

The sisters headed toward the stage, Payton almost running. "See," Piper said to Paige. "She just needed to know there was something here for her. And look at all the kid friendly things they have." Piper handed Paige the flyer. "She will love the crafting area." Paige said. As they walked on, Paige's worrying started to subside.

The drummers were amazing. After about a half hour of watching them Prue was sure she had some great pictures of them and the huge group of people dancing. Paige and Phoebe had let themselves get pulled in, and were dancing up a storm.

"Payton come on!" Paige called. Payton shook her head no, terror showing on her face. "You dance all the time at home." Paige came over and Payton ducked behind Piper for protection. "Oh come on, Chicken" Paige said as she grabbed Payton's arm and started to pull her out from behind Piper.

"No!" Payton yelled in fear. This shocked Paige so much that she let go of her.

"Okay, Paige. Enough. She doesn't want to." Piper said.

Paige shook her head and went back to where Phoebe was dancing.

"Didn't want to dance?" Phoebe asked as Paige came back.

"She acted like I was trying to make her pet a troll. This isn't like her."

"We'll all have our bad days. I'm sure it's nothing. Just enjoy yourself."

Prue came over to Piper and Payton. "Everything okay?" she asked. She had seen what had happened with Paige. Payton nodded that everything was fine. Prue looked at Piper to confirm Payton's answer. Piper just shrugged. "Well, I've got enough pictures here, so I'm going to go see what else I can get pictures of."

"Can I come with you?"Payton asked. "Sure, but I thought you were enjoying the show."

"I'm just ready to see something else." Payton answered.

"I'll come too." Piper said. "Phoebe."

Phoebe looked over at her sisters and Piper motioned that they were going. Phoebe gave the thumbs up that she got the message. The three Halliwell sisters walked off, while the over two continued to dance.

"Oh the drumming is starting." Willow said to Tara. "Then we should head over there." Tara replied. "Anya, we're going to the drumming show."

"Good" Anya said "There are too many of you here."

"Oh, will there be dancing?" Xander asked.

"I would image so," Tara said.

Xander gave Anya his puppy dog look.

"Go. Just make sure you come back to me." Anya said stepping closer to him and running her hand over his chest.

"You know you're the only girl for me." He said with a smile. Anya kissed him and as he turned to walk away she smacked his butt. Xander gave a little yip.

Willow shook her head and reached for Tara's hand. Tara moved closer to Willow. She gave her a quick peek on the check. After two years together that still sent flutters through her stomach. Willow had had strong feelings for Oz, but nothing like this connection. Willow was planning on asking Tara to marry her on their next anniversary.

By the time they got to the stage area, people were already dancing.

"This is heaven" Xander said.

Willow pulled Tara into the group, and they began dancing to the primal rhythm on the drums. Willow could feel the power the power the group was producing and let it flow through her. Xander decided to join in and started to make his way to the girls when he tripped and fell into Phoebe and Paige. Xander gave his goofy, embarrassed smile.

Willow made her way to him with Tara following close behind. "I'm sorry this doof fell into you. He has two left feet and they're on backwards." Willow told the sisters.

"It's true." Xander said. They all laughed at his honesty.

It's no big deal." Phoebe said. "It was an accident."

Willow introduced herself, Tara, and Xander to the all began to dance together. After a little bit Paige said "these drummers are really good."

"They're one of the best drumming groups in California." Tara stammered. "At least that's what I've read."

"I believe it." Phoebe said.

"They were in Sunnydale a few months ago. They gave an amazing performance." Willow told them.

"Is that where you're from?" Phoebe asked. Willow nodded. "Cool. Our favorite magic store is from there. Maybe you've been there. The Magic Box?"

Willow laughed at this. "Not only have we been there, we practically live there. A good friend of ours owns it. We came with to help with the booth."

"That is so cool!" Paige excitedly. "So do you know any real witches with powers?" Paige always wanted to meet other witches with powers like gave her sister a look that told her to be quiet. These seemed like nice people, but they had been fooled before by demons looking for the Charmed ones.

Willow looked at Tara, and they both giggled.

"Willow and Tara are both pretty powerful witches." Xander said proudly. "Saved my bacon many a time. Working with the slayer can get pretty dicy."

"Xander!" Willow said hitting him.

"Aww. What?" he replied.

"What happened to our little secret?" Willow asked. "You know the whole no suppose to tell anyone about Buffy or that we actually have magic."

"We are in a giant building, full of witches and I can't talk about magic? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, and I most of those stupid things."
