"Piper?"

"Bathroom."

Prue made her way across the hall to where Piper was. "Piper. Are you ready?"

"Prue relax. Would you."

"Piper. She's is going to want to come with us if you don't hurry up."

"Ok. I'm done, now let's go before she wakes up from all your yelling."

"I was not yelling."

"Whatever, come on." Piper said as she pulled at Prues arm.

Phoebe woke and heard silence throughout the Manor. Turning over to her back she looked up at her ceiling. She knew her sisters were downstairs. She wasn't sure though if she wanted to get up. She had always dreaded this day. What was it about a person 25th birthday that made you feel like your world was collapsing? Maybe it was the way her sisters had been rubbing it in her face. The whole 'Phoebe your gonna be half way to 50.' Or maybe it was just her. Wow half way to 50. She remembered looking back on her youth and thinking how old people that were 25 were.

She got out of bed knowing what would greet her downstairs. Birthday wishes, hugs and kisses. Usually she was all set for another birthday. But his year just seemed different somehow.

She pulled her robe around her as she made her way down the stairs. As she passed by a family picture of her Grams, Mother and the three sisters she stopped momentarily. "Love you." She said as she ran her hand over her Grams and Mum.

She continued down the steps and to the kitchen only to find it empty. Making her way through the bottom of the Manor she wondered where her sisters could have disappeared too. She sat on the couch wondering and somewhat worrying, about where her sisters could be. Leaning back into the couch she closed her eyes once again thinking of the day ahead of her.

Several hours later she was woken from the light sleep she had fallen into.

"Prue you do it."

"No way she'll kill me. You do it."

"Oh and you don't think she will kill me any less?"

"Well you always have been closer to her."

"What ever."

"Umm guys."

"Piper you do it."

"No way you."

"Ok as the oldest I order you to do it."

"You can not order me around."

'Yeah I can."

"Guys! Hello." Phoebe yelled, "What the hell is going on?"

"Phoebe just a minute." Prue snapped at her.

"Don't yell at her."

"Hey she is not the topic at hand here. I say you tell her."

"Augh you are hopeless." Piper called back to her.

"Ok enough!" Phoebe yelled. "What the hell is wrong with you two? You come in here and start yelling at each other from the moment you walk in the door, and today of all days. I get up and you aren't here. No note, no nothing. I can't believe you two." Phoebe yelled at them, "With the lives we lead, with demons and warlocks always trying to kill us you just take off like that." She continued before she stormed from the living room and headed up stairs to her own room.

Prue and Piper looked at each other realizing that their plan had completely and utterly backfired.

"Room?"

"Yup." Piper said in reply, as they both made their way to the stairs and their little sister.

Knocking on her door the slowly opened the door. "Phoebs." Piper said as they stepped into the room

"Leave me alone."

"No can do." Prue said as she bounced on Phoebes bed.

"Look I don't wanna talk about it, so just go away." Phoebe said as she lay on her bed not turning over to look at her sisters.

Piper looked at Prue, "What don't you wanna talk about Phoebe? The fight that Prue and I had?"

"No." she whispered out.

"Honey wants wrong?" Prue asked as she ran her hand over her sister head brushing the hair from her face.

"Nothing. Just let me alone for a bit. Please."

Prue looked up at Piper. "Ok honey. But we're sorry if we upset you." Prue said as she got off the bed. Bending down she placed a kiss on her forehead. "Happy Birthday little one."

"Yeah Phoebs were sorry." Piper said as she bent down and kissed Phoebe on the cheek. "Happy Birthday baby girl."

Drifting off to sleep she was soon looking at a picture of herself and Prue. She remembered that day as if it was yesterday. It was the night if her fifth birthday.

"And sure enough, with happy thoughts, faith and trust, and a liberal sprinkling of pixie dust, away flew the pirate ship through the skies till the gangplank was run our to the Darlings' nursery windowsill.

But now that they had arrived, the Lost Boys did not want to stay, 'We've sort of decided to stick with Pan.' They said.

So Wendy, John and Michael waved good-bye as Peter Pan's ship sailed off through the sky, taking with them the Lost Boys, home to Never Land, where they still live today."

Prue closed the book as she looked down at her baby sister.

"Prue?"

"Yes honey."

"Will I ever grow up? Or will I be young forever like Peter Pan?"

Prue looked at Phoebe. Such innocents, she thought. "In your heart Phoebe you will always be young. And I hope you never grow up." Prue told her as she tucked the sheets around her. "Happy Birthday my baby girl." She said as she placed a gentle kiss on Phoebes forehead. Leaving her little sister to her dreams of being young forever.

Phoebe awoke from her sleep as she remembered that night. "You said I'd never grow up Prue. What happened?"

"Piper maybe we should tell her before dinner. I mean she's totally bummed out about her birthday."

"I know. I was thinking the same thing. Who would have thought we would see the day when Phoebe Halliwell didn't want to celebrate her birthday."

"Look it's still early. I mean we just had lunch. Lets go get her ass out of bed and tell her."

"Ok and we tell her together."

"Deal." Prue agreed. 'I still can't believe it."

"What?"

"Our baby girl is 25. I remember reading her Peter Pan every night when she was little. On the night of her fifth birthday I will always remember her asking me if she would ever grow up. I told her no she wouldn't. Now here she is all grown up."

Piper could see the distress on her big sisters face and went behind her wrapping her arms around her locking them in the front so she couldn't get away. "Our baby will always be young at heart Prue. And no matter what her age is she will always be that young baby girl that we helped raise."

Prue set her head back on Pipers shoulder, "I know." She said as she closed her eyes holding on to the thoughts of her sister, young and carefree.

Phoebe walked down the stairs and saw Prue and Piper in the doorway to the kitchen. Curious as to what the quiet sister moment was about she walked in their direction. "Hey Guys."

Prue opened her eyes and pulled Phoebe towards her.

Phoebe was taken back by Prues sudden movement but quickly melted into the hug she was getting from her big sister.

"Umm guys what's going on?" Phoebe asked as she looked to Piper behind her as she heard a quiet cry from Prue.

Prue stepped back from the embrace and wiped away the tear that was threatening to fall.

"Prue? What's wrong?" Phoebe asked her sister with concern

"Oh our big sister is just getting all sentimental." Piper said as she placed her arm over Prues shoulder.

"Oh Ok." Phoebe looked hesitant, not completely believing Piper.

"Ok let's do this." Prue said as she took Phoebe by the hand and led her to the living room. Sitting her sister down on the couch She stood in front of her with Piper. "Ok Phoebe we were going wait to do this at dinner, but we wanted you to enjoy your birthday. Our little scene earlier was just part of the act that we came up with to do this. But we can see that you're a bit down about this birthday so we thought we would do this now and then we can spend the rest of the day together doing whatever you want."

"Ok." Phoebe said as she looked up at her sisters with caution.

"So we bought you a present, that we thought that you would enjoy this year. We know that you aren't really looking forward to 25 so we thought that this might help you hold on to your youth a little longer." Piper said as they handed her an envelope

Phoebe took the envelope as she maintained the lock on her sisters' eyes. Looking down finally she carefully opened up the envelope.

"Oh you guys. This is." Phoebe couldn't get out the words as she pulled out the tickets before her.

"There's three there because you don't honestly think you are going without us do you?" Piper said. "We want to spend three days with our baby girl in the Happiest Place on Earth."

"A place where you can still be young. Forever and ever." Prue added

"I can't believe you two. This is the best present ever." She said as she stood and hugged her sisters.

On the table lay three, three day passes to Disneyland, where age does not matter. For no matter what your age, it's a place where you can be a kid again, a place where everyone can be young and carefree.
