Piper Halliwell was running in the rain towards an old Victorian manor, which she shares with her two sisters. 'I'm so late! Prue is going to be so angry.' She thought as she runs up the stairs and towards the front door. 'Here goes nothing.' Piper took a deep breath.

She then opens the door and went inside. "Prue?" She called out as she shut the door behind her. "Pandora?" She then hung her umbrella up.

"In here, working on the chandelier." Prue called out to Piper from the sitting room.

"I'm in the sitting room, doing my homework." Pandora also called out to Piper.

Piper frowned when she heard the annoyance in her older sister's voice. She placed her bags on the floor before shrugging her wet coat off before hanging it up next to her umbrella. She grabbed her grocery bag. "Sorry, I'm late." She walks into the sitting room.

"What else is new?" Prue then turned to face Piper. "Piper, I would have been here to meet the electrician myself but you know I can't leave the museum until six. I didn't even have time to change."

"I just... I didn't realize how long I was in Chinatown. Pandora couldn't have...?"

Prue shook her head. "No." She was about to say something else but Pandora beat her to it.

"Prue had to pick me up from the library after she left work because I had to finish a project that is due tomorrow." Pandora told Piper as she kept on working on her homework.

"Did Jeremy call?" Piper asked, changing the subject. She didn't want to get a lecture from her big sister.

"No. But he had some roses and a package delivered." Prue sighed as she pointed towards the dining table in the dining room. "What were you doing in Chinatown? I thought that you had an interview in North Beach?" They walk toward the dining room.

"I did but I went to Young Lee market after my interview to get the ingredients for my audition recipe tomorrow." Piper said as she placed her grocery bag on the dining table. She smiled as she looked at the roses then looked down at the wooden box.

Prue hid a smile, as angry and annoyed as she was at Piper, she was glad that her sister was happy with her boyfriend. Especially considering it had only been six months since they lost Grams. Prue was happy that her gentle hearted sister was living life, moving on from the grief.

"So, that wolfgang-puck knock-off didn't hire you then?" Prue asked as she watched Piper slid the lid off the wooden box.

"No." Piper said with a sigh as she grabbed the bottle of port out of the wooden box. "But this just may get me the job."

Prue grabbed the bottle of port from Piper. "Jeremy sent you port?" She didn't understand why Piper was so happy about it.

"The ultimate ingredient for my recipe." Piper said as she had her hands grasped together in front of her.

"Nice boyfriend." Prue said with a smile before she place the bottle of port down on the dining table.

"Yeah, he's a keeper." Pandora said sarcastically from behind her two big sisters. She didn't like or trust Jeremy for some reason. But she would be nice to him because he made Piper happy.

Prue looked at her little sister. "Did you finish your homework?"

Pandora smiled at Prue. "Just finished it."

Piper then saw something else on the dining table. "Oh my god, I don't believe it. Tell me that's not our old spirit board?" She went over to it and picked it up.

"Ok, it's not our old spirit board. It's our new spirit board." Pandora joked with a smile.

Prue went over to Piper. "Yeah, I found it in the basement when I was looking for the circuit tester." Prue said with a smile.

Piper flipped the spirit board over to look at the back. "To my four beautiful girls. May this give you the light to find the shadows. The Power of Four will set you free. Love, Mom." She reads the inscription on the back.

"We never did figure out what this inscription meant." Pandora told her sisters.

"Well, maybe we should send it to Phoebe." Prue said as she turned and walked away from Piper. She wasn't as comfortable looking back at past memories as her sisters were. "That girl is so in the dark, maybe a little light will help."

"You're always so hard on her." Piper said. She knew that this was her chance to tell Prue what she need to tell her and she knew that she has put it off for long enough. Besides, she needs to tell Prue tonight, it was her last chance.

Prue turns back around to face Piper with an annoyed look. "Piper, the girl has no vision, no sense of the future."

"I really think Phoebe's coming around." Piper said, her words has hints which Prue didn't notice. Piper was also looking anywhere but in her big sister's eyes.

"Well, as long as she doesn't come around here I guess that's good news." Prue said with a smile and walked away.

After Prue left the room, Pandora looked at Piper. "You still haven't told Prue yet?" She asked in a whisper.

"No, I haven't. I try to tell her but I end up chickening out. Help me tell her, please." Piper begged her little sister.

"Ok, I'll help you." Pandora said before she went back to the sitting room, grabbed her backpack and went upstairs to put it up in her bedroom.

Piper sighed as she placed the spirit board back on the dining table. She then grabbed her grocery bag before going into the kitchen to put the groceries up.

After everyone had left the dining room, the pointer began to move along the spirit board, unknown by the Halliwell sisters.

...
...

Piper looked out of the window in the sitting room just as Pandora came down the stairs. "When are we going to tell Prue?" Piper asked as she went over to her little sister.

"Now." Pandora said as she walked towards the basement with Piper following after her.

Once Pandora and Piper got to the basement, they saw Prue was looking in the circuit tester, trying to fix the chandelier.

"I don't get it. I have checked everything, there's no reason why the chandelier should not be working." Prue said as she shut the door to the circuit tester.

"You know how you and piper have been talking about what to do with the spare room? I think you're right, we do need a roommate." Pandora said as she leaned against the wall.

Prue looked at her little sister in shock and suspicion. Pandora has been hesitant getting a roommate, in fact she was down right against it. She didn't trust strangers and hated strangers invading her privacy. So inviting a stranger that they have never met before to be their roommate was both of those things combined and she fought to prevent that from happening.

Prue walked out of the basement and into the kitchen. "We can rent the room at a reduce rate in exchange for some help around the house."

"Phoebe's good with a wrench." Piper blurted.

Prue opens a kitchen drawer. "Phoebe lives in New York." Prue told Piper as she looked over to her. She felt a tiny sense of dread creeping in.

Piper started ringing her hands nervously. "Not anymore."

"What?" Prue asked as she closed the kitchen drawer that she had just opened. More dread was creeping in.

Piper was still ringing her hands nervously. "She left New York. She's moving back in with us."

Prue sighed angrily, glaring at Piper as she moved past her sisters and headed out of the kitchen. "You've got to be kidding." She said angily.

"Well, I could hardly say no. It's her house too. Grams left it to all three of us." Piper said. She and Pandora followed after their big sister from the kitchen, through the dinner room and to the foyer.

"Yeah, months ago and we haven't seen or spoken to her since." Prue said as she stopped in the foyer before turning towards her sisters.

"Well, you haven't spoken to her." Pandora said as she looked at Prue.

"No, I haven't." Prue said angrily. " Look, maybe you've forgotten why I'm still mad at her."

"No, of course not but she had nowhere else to go. She lost her job, she's in debt." Piper tried to explain to her big sister.

"And this is news? How long have you two known about this anyway?" Prue looked at her two sisters when she said this.

"A couple of days, maybe a week... or two."

"Since yesterday." Pandora said honestly.

"Thanks for sharing." Prue said sarcastically. She glares at her two sisters, more at Piper since Pandora hasn't known until yesterday. "When does she arrive?"

Just then the door opened and Phoebe walked inside. "Surprise!" She said as she closed the door behind her and put her umbrella up. "I found the hide-a-key." Phoebe walks over to her sisters, holding out a key and was smiling.

"Phoebe!" Pandora said excited as she walked over and hugged her.

"Phoebe, welcome home." Piper smiled as she walked over to Phoebe.

"Hello, Piper, Pandora." Phoebe said with a smile as she hugged Piper and Pandora.

Once they pulled away from the hug, they turned towards Prue. "It's so good to see you. Isn't it Prue?" Piper asked.

Prue had turned around and had her arms crossed. "I'm speechless." Prue said with a fake smile.

Then all four sisters heard the cab honking outside.

"Oops. I forgot about the cab." Phoebe said as she looked at Piper. Prue rolled her eyes. Of course she forgot to be pay the cab driver.

"I'll get it." Piper walked towards the door, grabbing Prue's purse on her way.

"Piper, that's my purse!"

Piper turned around a little and raised her hand, to tell Prue that she heard her. She then turned back around, grabbed her umbrella before going outside to pay the cab driver.

"Thanks. I'll pay you back." Phoebe told her big sister.

Prue looked at the bag in Phoebe's hand. "Is that all that you brought?" Prue asked. Hope slightly returning that Phoebe might not be staying for long.

The small hope disappeared quickly when Phoebe spoke up. "That's all I own and a bike. Look I know that you don't want me here..."

Prue interrupted Phoebe. "We're not selling Grams' house."

Pandora could feel where this was going, so she decided to go up to her bedroom. "I'm going up to my room." She said before going upstairs to her bedroom.

"Is that why you think I came back?" Phoebe was hurt that Prue thought that was why she had came back.

"Look, the only reason Piper and I gave our apartment to raise Pandora here is because this house has been in our family generations." Prue told Phoebe as she moved closer to her.

"No history lesson needed." Phoebe snapped at her older sister. "I grew up here too. So can we talk about what's really bothering you?"

"No, I'm still furious with you."

"So, you'd rather have a tense reunion filled with boring chitchat and unimportant small talk?"

"I never touched Roger." Phoebe told Prue.

Prue stiffened when she heard her ex's name being mentioned by Phoebe. "Whoa."

"I know you think otherwise because that's what that Armani-wearing, Chardonnay-slugging, trust-funder told you..." Phoebe was cut off by Piper opening the door and coming back inside the house.

"Hey, I have a great idea. Why don't I make a fabulous reunion dinner." Piper said, trying to break the tense air around her two sisters.

"I'm not hungry." Prue said as she walked away.

"I ate on the bus." Phoebe said. She then grabbed her bag from the floor and went upstairs to her bedroom to get unpacked.

Piper was just standing there alone. "Okay, we'll try the group hug later."

...
...

Phoebe is looking at herself in the mirror and the news was on the TV but she wasn't really watching it. Pandora is sitting on Phoebe's bed, drawing in her sketchbook and was half paying attention to the TV.

There was a knock on the bedroom door, startling both Phoebe and Pandora. "It's me." Piper called out.

"Come on in." Phoebe called out as she turned around, away from the mirror.

Piper opened the door and walks in carrying a tray with drinks and food on it.

"Thank god. I am starving." Phoebe climbs into her bed, next to Pandora. She then sees Pandora's drawing, it was of a mother tiger and her cub. "That's really good, Pandora."

Pandora smiled at Phoebe. "Thanks."

"Figured." Piper was walking closer to the bed where Phoebe and Pandora are at. She then hears the reporter on the TV and looks over to it to see Jeremy on TV. "Hey, that's my boyfriend, Jeremy. What happened?"

"Some woman got whacked." Phoebe said as she grabbed a piece of food from the tray as Piper put it down on the bed.

"Whacked? Pheobe, you've been in New York way too long." Pandora said as she finished her drawing.

"Yeah, I should have stayed." Phoebe then looks at Piper. "Now, why didn't you tell Prue that I was coming back?"

Piper sat down on the end of the bed, grabbed the remote. "And risk her changing the locks?" Piper turns the TV off. "I don't think so and besides, I think you should have been the one to her not me."

"Good point, Chicken Little." Phoebe took a bite of her food. "It's just so hard for me to talk to her. She's always been more like a mother."

"That's not her fault. She practically had to sacrifice..."

"Her own childhood to raise us." Phoebe and Piper said at the same time.

Pandora didn't say anything, awhile she grew up with her big sisters, she was raised by her uncle and adoptive father, Charlie Swan.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"And we're so lucky she was so responsible. You and I had it easy, all we had to do was be there." Piper told Phoebe.

Phoebe looked at Piper. "Yeah, well, I don't need a mom anymore, you know, I need a sister."

Prue knocked on the door she was holding a few blankets in her other arm. Pandora, Piper and Phoebe looked over to Prue. "This was always the coldest room in the house." Prue puts the blankets down on the desk.

"Thanks." Phoebe said.

Prue nodded slightly and gave Phoebe a look before she left.
