A/N: Hi guys, this is my first ever fanfic so please take that into consideration when leaving reviews. Hope you enjoy the first chapter. I'll be updating every couple of days and it will always be one or two chapters at a time. The story is set during season five. Events play out differently than on the show.

The weather was unusually hot in San Francisco. The sisters and Leo had just finished eating a picnic at the park. Piper and Leo were clearing away the dishes and packing everything back into the basket, Phoebe was standing a short way away on her cell phone having an argument with her boss and Paige was lying back on the blanket half asleep.

Phoebe's voice got a little louder, "Yeah well you know what Elise? I booked this week off ages ago to spend some time with my family and I…. What? Of course not but… I understand but…. Ok fine, I'll be there in an hour." Sighing she ended the call and flung her phone back into her bag. "So much for vacation time!" She dropped back onto the blanket next to Paige.

"Awww, never mind, honey…." Paige said sleepily. She patted Phoebe's arm sympathetically.

Phoebe smiled down at her sister, "Late night?"

"No, it's just the heat… It makes me tired." Paige yawned as if to prove her point and rolled onto her stomach.

Phoebe glanced over at Leo and Piper who were giggling as they fed each other the last remaining strawberries. "Hey Paige, why don't you and me go and get some ice cream? It'll cool you down and give the lovers some time to themselves…." She grinned at Piper who stuck her tongue out at Phoebe in return.

Paige groaned, "Does that mean I have to move?" Phoebe laughed and pulled Paige to her feet. Paige smoothed out her skirt and stepped into her sandals then arm in arm her and Phoebe walked off in search of an ice cream van.

They headed down a shady path with trees on either side. There was no-one about and they walked in silence just enjoying each others company.

Suddenly Phoebe's cell phone began ringing loudly, shattering the silence and causing a few birds to fly off in alarm. "Dammit, if that's Elise I swear I'll…" Leaving the sentence unfinished she fished her phone out of her bag and answered it.

"Hello? Elise. I said I'd be there in an… I know but I was… Elise, I understand that but… What?

Fine. I'm on my way."

Paige smirked at her, "Wow. You sure told her."

Phoebe was about to say something cutting back at her when she remembered something. "Could you give me a lift? I left my car at home."

"Just take my car; I'll get a lift back with Piper and Leo." She held her keys out to Phoebe.

Phoebe took them from her, "Are you sure?"

"Yeah of course, besides, I want some ice cream." Paige smiled at her.

"Thanks honey." Phoebe gave her a quick hug and then hurried off to where they'd parked the cars.

Paige continued down the path enjoying the cool shade the trees offered. Suddenly Cole appeared in front of her.

"Hello Paige."

Paige backed away from him. "What do you want? Stay away from me!"

"Now is that any way to speak to your brother-in-law?"

"Ex-brother-in-law! And you didn't answer my question! What do you want?"

"You." Before Paige had time to react Cole grabbed her by the arms and shimmered out with her.
