Ok this was a challenge put out to me by Alexandra. This also follows Payment for Revegne, Paige having just come into thier lives and is the oldest sister.

The music thumped around them as the bodies on the floor kept up with the beat.

Prue smiled as she watched her baby sister make her moves on the dance floor. She was glad her sister was happy and moving past the Cole situation. He was gone from their lives for good. Prue cast her eyes and let them drift over to Piper who stood at the bar serving a drink to another customer. She was so proud of her. She had gone out and bought the club and had turned it into a great success. More then any of them even dreamed, including Piper herself.

It was then Prue found her eyes drifting to something that had caught her eye. Paige was walking down the steps of P3 and was making her way over to the bar. She watched as she laughed as she spoke to Piper before Paige cast her eyes toward her. It still amazed her at times that she had an older sister. She also found herself wishing she had been around when they were growing up. That shoulder for her to cry on when she needed it. Someone to help her with Piper and Phoebe. But she pushed it behind her. She had excepted that Paige was her sister a long time ago and now was no different.

"Oh man what a day." Paige eased herself into the seat beside Prue.

"Rough day sis?"

"Oh yeah. I have no idea sometimes how I keep going." Paige smiled as she leaned back into the couch. Her eyes cast along the people dancing, "Like her. How does she keep going like with an endless amount of energy?"

Prue followed where Paige was looking and had to suppress a chuckle. Paige was watching the baby of the family as another song started and she kept on going. "Ever seen those Energizer bunny ad's?"

"Yeah."

"Lets just say Phoebe has taught that bunny all the moves. She has ALWAYS been like that." Prue smiled as she too watched her sister dance.

"To bad we can't bottle it. We could make a fortune." Paige laughed as she took a drink of her Perrier.

Phoebe saw her older sisters sitting together laughing. She started from the dance floor at the end of the song before the next one started again. She felt the hand on her arm as she turned and looked up at him, "Not this one." She practically screamed at him so he could hear her.

She wove her way through the crowd and flopped down next to Paige, "Where you been?"

"Work. Got a little crazy down there."

"Oh." Phoebe reached forward and took a sip from her drink.

Paige looked at Prue and then back to Phoebe, "You ok?"

"Yeah, I just thought you would have been here sooner is all."

Reaching her arms around her newfound little sister, "Sorry kiddo. I'll call next time. But. I have tomorrow off. What say you and me do something together? I still have to get to know you three."

Phoebe suddenly found herself looking over at Prue. She didn't want to betray Prue's love by taking a day with Paige. But there was something in Prue's eyes that let her know everything. "Sure. Shopping and the park."

"Oh Paige, don't take her shopping." Piper laughed as she sat down beside Prue.

"Yeah Paige don't do it." Prue agreed laughing at her own memories of shopping with Phoebe.

Phoebe glared over at her sisters as her hands reached out to strangle them, "Don't listen to them Paige."

"I won't. I'll pick you up at 9?"

"Oh this could be good. You plan on draggin' her out of bed?" Prue laughed, but then did more so as she saw Phoebe getting up and making her way towards her.

"You are soooo not funny big sister." Phoebe tackled her sister as the two of them ended in a tangled mess with Prue eventually getting a hold of Phoebe.

Paige closed the door to her bug and looked up at the Victorian Manor before her. She had the invitation to move in with them but was yet to take them up on the offer. Everything seemed still a little strange and weird to her. All her life she was an only child. She knew that the three inside were tight, and she didn't want to disturb that, even though she knew by spending time with each one they were more then willing to welcome her into their home; and more importantly their lives.

She knocked on the front door before turning the handle to open it, "Anyone home?" she closed the door behind her as she made her way to the kitchen, knowing that was where they all would be.

"Hey just in time for breakfast." Piper smiled as she set a plate down for Paige.

"Thanx Piper. Phoebe down yet?" she sat down and asked as she lifted her fork

"You are kidding right?" Prue laughed as she peaked out from behind the paper. "She will coming running down in about five minutes all in panic mode thinking she missed you before rushing out the front door."

"Ah how wrong you are my sweet sister." Phoebe spoke behind Prue before wrapping her arms around her from behind and placing a kiss on her cheek. "I am up and ready to go."

Piper laughed as Phoebe made Prue eat her words, "Breakfast first honey." She said as she slide a bowl of Phoebe favourite cereal in front of her.

Paige laughed as Phoebe came out of the dressing room modelling another dress she had spotted.

"Oh Paige I love it!"

"Yeah you said that four dresses ago." Paige laughed as Phoebe twirled in front of the full-length mirror.

"Yeah but this one. Says 'hot chick looking for fling' all over it.

"Ok I am not buying my baby sister that dress if that is what it is telling you." Paige replied though was having trouble keeping the smile off he face

Phoebe looked up at Paige and put on her best baby/puppy face, "Paige…..Pweeeaaase."

Paige laughed before she reached out and grabbed Phoebe in her arms. "If that is the one you want. Ok. Just don't tell Prue and Piper I bought. That one you got yourself."

The day continued with more shopping, lunch and more shopping again. It was a day the two of them needed. The oldest and youngest getting to now one another and spending time together.
