Sweat ran down Phoebe's neck, trickling down her body. Friction created heat as she rubbed against Coop's body.

He reached as far as he could, panting from the position they were now in.

"Come on," Phoebe pressed, "we're almost there."

Coop tried again, but afraid to hurt Phoebe, he stopped.

Phoebe panted – they had been doing this for an hour straight!

"Coop, please," Phoebe begged, "I don't know how much longer I can—"

Suddenly, Coop pushed as hard as he could and sighed with relief. He felt Phoebe sigh, too.

"Great!" Paige and Piper yelled.

Leo held up the paper. "Next, right hand, yellow…"

The Halliwells had been playing Twister for the better part of that Saturday. Saturdays had been designated "Family Day," since that was the only day the whole family was always free. Today, they had decided to play Twister. Leo and Piper had held the record, but Phoebe and Coop just beat it.

"Ah!" Paige muttered in annoyance. Everyone turned around to see what was the matter. "Jingling," she explained. The jingling was an unfortunate part of being part Whitelighter. She looked up, addressing the Elders. "Can't you give a break, just once?" Another jingle gave her an answer. "Alright, alright, I'm coming," she growled and orbed away.

Unable to stay in the position any longer, Phoebe and Coop collapsed, breaking into giggles.

"That was totally your fault," Phoebe teased.

"Was not," Coop laughed.

"Okay, I guess this Family Day is over," Piper surmised.

Phoebe and Coop cleaned up while Piper and Leo got dinner served. Henry and Victor kept an eye on Wyatt and Chris. This was a day everyone always looked forward to – the one day things were normal. Or at least, as normal as possible. Piper sighed. Ever since defeating the Ultimate Power, things were settling down very quickly. Phoebe and Coop had gotten married, Paige and Henry were quickly adapting to married life, and Piper and Leo were raising Wyatt and Chris without the constant interference of demonic attacks.

The only thing that interfered with their otherwise normal lives was the Elders, who were constantly calling Paige about a new Charge.

Dinner was all set, and everyone was sitting, patiently waiting for Paige to return. Again.

"I can't believe they did this again," Phoebe sighed in frustration. She looked up, the same way Paige had. "Nice going, you ruined another Saturday, guys!"

As if on cue, Paige orbed back in. She looked pale and sat in her seat, quiet.

"Well, what's up?" Piper asked. "What did your bosses want?"

Paige didn't answer, she just looked down at her plate.

"Yo! Paige!" Phoebe shouted, making Paige jump.

She looked up, still pale as ever.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Henry asked. "What'd they want you for?"

Paige cleared her throat. "Well," she began. "Apparently, Death has been a bit off his game lately."

"Death?" Henry said, surprised. "Like the Angel of Death?"

"Yeah, he's a pretty cool guy," Paige replied. "Except for the whole taking people's souls thing…"

"Anyway," Piper cut in, "What about him? The Elders just called you up there to tell you that Death is having issues?"

"No," Paige answered. "It's just that he's not as alert as he usually is, and…" She trailed off.

"'And' what?" Phoebe demanded.

"He accidentally let some souls out recently," Paige said.

"Whose souls?"

"Witches – apparently, when you're dead, they section you off by who you were, such as 'witch,' 'human,' and so on. They let you mingle but in the end, you're put into sections by who or what you were when you were alive."

"So what witches did Death let out?" Victor asked hesitantly.

"At first, when they realized what had happened, they thought it was just some small-time witches," Paige explained, "but then they realized he'd let out one big witch today."

"Who?" Coop asked.

"Well, I think you guys should be pretty familiar with her," Paige said to Piper and Phoebe. "It's Prue."

Author's Note:

Okay, so this is my first Charmed story. Hopefully, this is half as good as my UW fanfics, and that's not saying much... :)

Anyway, hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Any comments or criticism, do not hesitate to say them!
