Piper sat in the chair until Phoebe had gone back to sleep. She had so many emotions running through her mind, she didn't even know where to begin. Phoebe and her anger, or Prue and her guilt. She knew deep down Phoebe didn't mean what she said, but she didn't even know where to begin to fix it.

"I'll be back tomorrow honey. Sleep well." Piper ran her hand over Phoebes head and placed a soft kiss on her forehead before leaving the room. She had to find Prue and get her to understand somehow what Phoebe was feeling.

Prue sat on the wooden bench looking out to the garden through the red puffy eyes that had long since dried up. She replayed everything in her mind and she realized that her youngest sister was right.

Piper had walked down the hall and was about to leave when she felt the hand on her shoulder.

"Oh god Josh. You scared the crap out of me."

"Sorry, I just figured you would want to know where Prue was."

"Have you seen her?" Piper replied with worry in her voice.

"I saw her heading towards the rose garden. Look, Mike told me what happened. You know she didn't really mean what she said?"

"I do, and I even think deep down Phoebe does. It's just Prue I need to convince now." she gave his hand a slight squeeze, "Thanks." as she turned and started towards the gardens.

Piper looked on as Prue sat leaning against the bench, starring into the garden. She also knew that her sister was beating herself up over what Phoebe had said. "Hey you. I was wondering where you were." she spoke soft, as she approached her sister.

"You found me."

Piper sat down and looked at the rose that Prue was looking out at. "Something special about that particular rose bud?"

"Phoebes favorite." Was the only answer she got.

"I see."

Silence blanketed the garden as neither one said a word.

"Prue. You know she didn't mean what she said right. I mean, she is just hurt and scared right now. And if I know her. Which I think I do. She is angry at herself more tehn anyone right now."

"Maybe."

Piper turned her attention to Prue and made her sister turn to her. "Prue you know I'm right. When you asked her what the first rule was, she knows she made a mistake and she lashed out. It's that anger at herself that she brought out today. Not at you, not at Mum. Herself."

"Piper I let my baby sister jump into those waters and save me."

"No, she jumped in there herself and saved you. And I'm guessing that she knew exactly what she was doing that day. She couldn't sacrifice you for what she knew was right. She couldn't let you get hurt, and I'm betting she would do it again if she had the chance."

Prue listened to what Piper was telling her and realized that she to was right. How did her younger sisters get so smart all of a sudden?

"Come on lets go home. We came come back tomorrow when she's had a chance to cool down." Piper stood and took Prues hand in hers as they made their way through the ground. Though not feeling the eyes upon them. Watching them.

"Hey Phoebe."

"Hi Mike."

"I heard what happen yesterday. I'm sorry." he had seen the end result of the arguement she had with Prue, but he didnt let his frined know.

"That's ok. I'm surprised everyone didn't hear it. I was yelling so loud."

"Come on I want to show you something."

"I don't feel like basketball today Mike."

"Nope, better."

They wheeled their chairs through the path in the woods and came out to a clearing over looking the meadow. The grass was so high they could barely see over the top of it as the trees continued on the other side.

"I come here to think sometimes, on what might have happened. I picture myself like Bambi, running freely across the meadow. But that will never happen. And I've learned to deal with that. It took sometime but I did."

She sat looking out across the same meadow. Her mind not ready yet to picture herself running across it. She was still picturing her sister trying to fight to keep her head above the water.

"Did I ever tell you how this happened to me?"

"No."

"Car accident. My brother and I were heading on a road trip after he finished his first year of University. Just the two of us wild and free. But suddenly everything went wrong. A truck came around the corner in our lane. My brother swerved to avoid hitting him head on. The next thing I know I'm waking up here strapped down to a back board not able to feel anything in my lower body."

"Like I was?"

"Yeah but one difference Phoebe. There was no chance at all of me walking again. My vertebrae was broken in two places and that in turn snapped my spinal cord."

Phoebe watched the expression on Mike's face as he told his story.

"I blamed him. He should have been paying more attention, but then I realized that it wasn't his fault. It was just that. An accident. If anything he saved my life. We both could have been dead."

"You talking about me again lil brother?"

Mike turned around and looked up at Josh. "Hi."

"Brother?"

"Yeah, after the accident I focused my education in spinal injuries. It was the best way I could give back to those that helped Mike." Josh stood in front of Phoebe and crouched down. "Phoebe I know you are still fighting your emotions, but eventually you are going to need to let them go."

"You can't blame Prue for what happen Phoebe. You did what you had to to save her." Mike watched knowing that his new friend was fighting more then one internal battle.

"Can we go back now?" Phobe said quietly. She felt her tears welling inside, and wanted to be in her room alone before the damn broke

"Sure." Mike knew when to stop pushing her, as did Josh.

What was that? She pushed herself up from her pillow and looked down at the blankets covering her legs. There was nothing there. But she could have sworn she felt. Wait I did feel something? She flung back the sheets and concentrated on her feet. Start small she thought.

"Come on Phoebe there was something there a minute ago."

She didn't even hear the knock on her door as she looked down with determination. There.

"Oh god."

"Phoebe. You just." Piper ran into the room and looked down at her sisters' feet.

"Piper did you see that?"

"Yes, I think so."

"I moved them didn't I?"

"Yes I saw it."

She concentrated again and again her foot moved only more. "Oh God, Piper." She felt the tears starting to rush down her face.

"What's going on?" Prue entered the room carrying two cups of coffee only to find her sisters embraced in a warm hug. She could hear them both crying and immediately thought the worst. "Oh no. please."

"Prue, oh god Prue, she moved." Piper pulled Prue into the hug. All thoughts of the fight a few days before gone.

"She. She moved?" Prue was shocked. "But. How?"

"I was just waking up and I thought I felt something on my leg. I pulled back the covers and concentrated and whoala. Movement." Phoebe explained in excitement.

Prue reached down and hugged Phoebe. "Oh sweetie this is great."

"I can't wait to tell Josh and Mike."

"This is great Phoebe. Now, we don't want to go to fast to soon. We can take baby steps. Tomorrow I'll start you in the pool. It's the best way to get the motion without you doing to much strain." Josh explained "Wait till Mike hears about this. He's gonna be through the roof. He'll probably be your personal cheering section tomorrow."

Josh then explained to them what Phoebes exercises would change to, and left them for another day.

The next day came faster then Phoebe had thought. She was so nervous. Piper had helped in her into her chair and she started out to the hallway.

"Can you wait here for me Piper."

"Sure honey. But don't you want us to help you?"

"No. I know Prue is still hurt by what I said. And I don't want you in the middle. I just want to do this first one on my own."

Piper didn't like it, but she respected her sisters' decision.

"I'll let Prue know."

Phoebe pushed her chair along the hall and then through the door that lead to the pool. There was something not right she just couldn't put her finger on it. "Hello? Anybody in here?" She was answered with her own echo bouncing off the walls and the water.

Suddenly the lights flicked out leaving only those in the pool lighting the hall.

"Ok this isn't funny anymore." She carefully pulled her chair back towards the hallway she had come. The glistening waters right beside her.

"Oh I thought it was Phoebe."

That voice, she knew it from somewhere, the darkness was dripping from it.

"Who are you?"

"Oh no. Not now. Now I have a surprise for you."

The voice seemed to come from every direction. But the sound of the splash quickly brought her attention to one side of the pool. Before she could see who it was, she felt his breath on her skin behind her. She froze in place.

"Can you save her again Phoebe?" He whispered.

Phoebe then realized that the body now floating in the pool was Prue. But as she realized this she felt the wheelchair tipping towards the pool and sending her under the water.

She felt the water surrounded her like a blanket, as both her and the wheelchair sank towards the bottom. She opened her eyes and panicked as she sank further down, but there was nothing she could do to stop it. With her legs not working she knew there was no way for her to get to teh surface and swim over to Prue.
