San Francisco Memorial Hospital: Prue and Phoebe
Prue was walking up to the desk. As much as her sister did save two kids she could of killed the woman and herself and this Miss Matthews was not pressing charges. She had to thank the woman and at least make sure Phoebe apologised.
"Excuse me." Prue said politely to nurse she had spoken to not that long ago.
"Hello Miss how may I help you?" She said smiling up at Prue.
"This is probably gonna sound like an odd request but my sister here the one who was in x-ray well she was in a traffic accident and unfortunately helped cause another car to crash and the woman is also here and Phoebe would like to apologise to her especially as she isn't pressing charges. Is it possible if you could tell us where she is?" Prue asked.
The nurse thought a moment.
"Do you have her name?" She said.
"Only her surname Miss Matthews." Prue said
The Nurse typed into her computer and was browsing.
"Phoebe do you remember what she looked like? Prue said to her.
"She had brown hair looked about my age maybe younger. I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back in a minute." Phoebe said and started walking down the hall.
As Phoebe got to the end of the hall someone came rushing down the corner. They came crashing into her and the both of them went down on the floor. Phoebe was about to start cursing but looked at the guy who had just bumped into her. He Stood up and started apologising but her mind was more focused on he fact that he looked so familiar. He resembled his sister Piper except for his eyes which looked more like Prue's but not fully. She felt a vibe from him as if she knew him. The boy reached down and grabbed Phoebe's hand.
*Premonition*
The boy is standing in a living room and a man and woman are coming at him from the left and right. He has backed into the wall. The woman is holding a ball of purple light and the man in holding a knife. Just then the woman throws the Purple light and the boy ducks but the man lunges and stabs him. The knife glows and the man pulls it out and the boy drops to the floor.
Phoebe came out of the vision. It was such a weird feeling. This was a second premonition in a fay only this one wad much worse. She looked at the boy who was looking at her with concern. She thought to herself he must be an innocent. Just then the boy got really scared and apologised again and said he had to go. Phoebe tried to stop and ask him his name but he kept on moving she grabbed onto him again but felt another vision.
*Premonition*
A calendar is on a wall and it say's Friday 9th October. (The vision changes) The purple light from the previous vision is shown flying towards the boy. The sky looks dark.
She came out of the second vision. To see the boy gone. Phoebe didn't know that much about her power but she could tell what vision was saying. She had to save the boy but what would happen, would happen tomorrow. She had until to tomorrow to save this boy somewhere between now and maybe before 4pm tomorrow as it would get dark by then seeming as winter was approaching. How was she gonna do that. She needed to talk to her sisters. She ran back to the desk to see Prue waiting.
"Prue listen.." Phoebe started.
"Hold on Phoebe." Prue said and started walking down the left corridor. Phoebe followed Prue.
"Prue." Phoebe said again.
"Here we go." Prue said as she stopped in front of the room the nurse had told her.
Prue knocked on the door and waited a couple of moments before it started to open.
When it did Prue and Phoebe looked surprised. If weren't for the fact that their mom didn't have any more kids she would of said the girl standing in front of them could of been her sister. It felt like they knew her.
"Hi." The girl said.

San Francisco Memorial Hospital: Paige
Paige had walked back to her room. She couldn't even remember what she did with her coffee. She pulled out the Hershey bar and ate it. Her thoughts kept on wondering back to Chris. Where could she have possibly known him from? It wasn't School. She went balboa. It wasn't college as she went Berkley. Was it some sort of party? Not likely when she was sneaking off to parties he would of been 14-15. She stopped partying while she went college so she wasn't tempted to drink. Did he go to Bucky's? He said he was a Chuck E Cheese guy. She snorted. Paige had a pretty good memory and if she had seen Chris before somehow it would register before hand. So what was it?
Paige was getting frustrated but she decided to stop thinking about it. She probably wouldn't see Chris again anyway. She was causing herself stress over an answer she most likely wasn't going to get. She decided that she would get another coffee seeming as she had lost the first one and she didn't know where her doctor was. She began to walk to the door when all of a sudden there was a knock on the door. Paige paused for a moment before opening the door.
When she pulled open the door she was surprised to see to woman who she could tell were sisters even with their different appearances. What surprised her even more was she felt the same feeling she had felt with Chris with these two women. It wasn't as strong as it was with Chris but it was strong enough. The one with black hair, eye's seemed to be like Chris's but not entirely.
She noticed she was staring but so were they.
"Hi." Paige said.
"Hi." The one with Black hair said.
"Hello." The one with brown hair said.
"Can I help you?" Uncertain of why these women were here.
"Yeah, I'm sorry have we met before? You seem familiar." The black haired one said.
"Um I don't think so." Paige said. The woman had one of those I'd recognise you if I saw you again faces. Both of them did.
"Must be someone else but any who, are you Paige, Paige Matthews?" The Black haired one said.
"Whose asking?" Paige said suspiciously.
"I'm Prue Halliwell and this is my sister Phoebe Halliwell. My sister has something she would like to say to you." This Prue said as if she was making a little child apologise for doing something naughty.
Phoebe came forward. "I was the one that steered my bike in front of your car and I'm really sorry. I saw those two boys and they didn't see you and you didn't see them so I did the only thing I could think of which could of got you killed. I am so sorry." Phoebe said with deep remorse.
"Thank you but you honestly didn't haft to come here and apologise if you didn't do what you did those two boys would be dead and I would be in prison. Besides I'm not hurt and you don't look it either so all's well that ends well." Paige said and smiled at phoebe.
"Thank you Miss Matthews. Listen an officer was with us and told you weren't charging but if you need any help on car damages then I would be willing to help out." Prue said even though she was praying that Paige decline the offer.
"Actually there isn't any damage to my car or the pole for that matter. I guess it was my lucky day." Paige said way too chirpy for her own liking.
"Wow that's amazing." Prue said grateful at this news.
"I know right." Paige said grimacing at the thought of the bubble.
"Hey listen our other sister is an amazing cook and the least we can do is treat you to dinner." Prue said and took out a notepad and pen that was in her purse. She began writing on the note pad.
"Oh you don't haft to do that." Paige said. She didn't want to impose.
"It's least we can considering my sister almost killed you." Prue said. She tore off the page and handed it to Paige.
"Our home address and telephone number. Tomorrow night let's say 6. Piper will cook an amazing dinner and Phoebe and I will pretend that we're not sucking up because your not pressing charges." Prue said smiling. Paige couldn't help but laugh.
"So dinner at ours?" Prue said.
"Ok what the hell. Dinner at yours it is." Paige said with toothy grin.
"Great see you Tomorrow at 6." Prue said and shook Paige's hand. She then turned around and left the room.

San Francisco Memorial Hospital: Phoebe
"Well I guess I'll I see you guys tomorrow then." Paige said to Phoebe.
Phoebe walked up to Paige and hugged her. Once again she felt the tugging sensation.
*Premonition*
Paige is in a hospital room talking to a brown haired boy with green eyes. A blonde woman comes with a cup and hands it to the boy. She leaves. Paige says bye to him. (Vision changes) Paige opens the door on Prue and Phoebe.
Phoebe pulled away from Paige.
"Phoebe are you ok?" Paige asked with concern.
"Yeah I'm fine. Say listen, you wouldn't of happen to have seen this brown haired boy with green eyes would you?" Phoebe said as discretely as she could. She didn't to arouse Paige's suspicion but she understood the vision it was what had happened before Prue and herself had found Paige. Paige had been with the boy who was going to get attacked.
This Power knew what it was doing.
"Why?" Paige asked. She seemed to get really defensive for some reason.
"Oh well I bumped into this guy and well it's just I felt like I knew him." She said. It wasn't a lie.
"You too?" Paige before she could stop herself.
"You have seen him?" Phoebe knowing full well she had.
"Yeah I met him earlier on, I felt the same way." Paige said akwardly.
"Is he still here?" She asked although she doubted he was.
"Nah he left with his mom about maybe 20 minutes ago." Paige replied.
"Does he have a name?" She asked.
"Chris, Chris Payne." Paige said reluctantly.
"Name doesn't ring a bell. Well it was worth a shot. Any who I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Bye." Phoebe said and left the room.
Prue was by the elevator and Phoebe came over.
"Prue we need to talk. Can you drive us home? Hopefully Piper will be there" Phoebe said.
"Well it's not like I have anything better to do at the moment so sure why not." Prue said with clear irritation in her voice.
"What are you talking about?" Phoebe said curious as to why Prue was all of sudden mad.
"I quit my job." Prue said with a sigh.
"What? Why?" Phoebe said surprised.
"Lousy job, lousy pay, lousy boss." Prue said as she walked into the elevator with Phoebe right behind her.
"Wait what are you gonna do now?" Phoebe said.
"What else? Find another job." Prue said before continuing.
"I just hope Piper got the job we're gonna haft to rely on that for a while. In the meantime we're gonna haft to make cutbacks on expenses at least until there is two income earners and you, your gonna haft to sign up for welfare checks." Prue said. She continued talking but Phoebe wasn't listening to word she said. She was thinking about Chris and what he was doing tomorrow. She was thinking about telling Piper and Prue about her Premonitions she had and out of Piper and Prue who would get telekinesis and who would freeze things. She thought Paige reminded her of her sister more so Prue and how Chris reminded her Piper. She thought about the weird feeling she got from them both.
Was this a coincidence? No it couldn't be because Prue felt it too. She asked Paige if they had met. Paige looked surprised at her and Prue. She could see it in her eyes that she felt it too. Then there was Chris. She had felt it with him and Paige did too. Phoebe had gotten four Premonitions already and Paige had been in two of them and Chris had been in three of them. Was there some sort of connection between them. Paige had just happened to meet Chris and they all minus Piper had been at hospital. This had to be more than a coincidence.
Obviously from what Phoebe read in the book of shadows there was a system to their Powers. Telekinesis was the offence. Freezing was the defence and Premonitions was the supportive/Passive power. Telekinesis would attack evil, freezing would defend against evil and premonitions would prevent it. For the innocents Telekinesis would probably save the innocent. Freezing would protect the innocent and Premonitions would fight for the innocents survival.
Her power was telling her she had to save Chris but there was something more than saving an innocent. Phoebe would get to the bottom of it but first she had to talk to Prue and Piper hopefully together. She needed them to believe that they had become charmed ones. That they were protectors of the innocent. Defenders against evil. She needed them to know they had powers, that magic was real and that they would need to start using it fast to protect a boy named Chris otherwise he would die tomorrow.
"Phoebe!" Prue Shouted.
"Huh?" Phoebe said looking around.
"Manor just there. Meaning get out the car." Prue snapped at her.
"We're here already?" Phoebe said looking at her watch. It had just gone 13:00. Had she been thinking since the hospital. When did they get out the elevator? When did they get in the car?
"You zoned out. Now get out of the car." Prue said once again.
Phoebe undid her seatbelt which she didn't even remember doing and got out the car. She walked up to the manor and used the hide-a-key she used last night. God last night already felt like a life time ago. Phoebe called out to Piper but got no response. She had gone upstairs to see if she was in her room but she wasn't. Piper wasn't in the manor and this annoyed Phoebe. She could have this conversation alone with Prue not that she specifically wanted to but if she did then she would but it was a conversation to have with both her sisters and she honestly didn't want to try ram this all in Prue's mind alone. She walked down stairs to hear Roger's slimy voice on answering machine.
"Prue do you know where Piper might be like right now?" Phoebe said stopping in front of Prue.
"She should of finished her audition by now maybe she's still at quake." Prue said walking to the kitchen.
Phoebe sighed this conversation should really be at the manor but Phoebe would prefer to really have time to discuss her vision and the game plan that would be needed to save Chris. So if even part of the conversation happened at quake or on the way it would happen.
"Prue." Phoebe shouted as she walked towards the kitchen.
"Phoebe I'm only in the kitchen and I'm not death." Prue said once again irritated.
"Right, sorry look we still need to talk can you take us to quake so we can find Piper?" Phoebe asked.
"What do you so desperately want to talk about?" Prue said suspicious.
"When we find Piper I will tell you." Phoebe said.
"Well look the talk needs to wait. I'm gonna have a bath and then go to the museum and sign some paper work so that Roger can get off my back." Prue said walking past Phoebe and walking up stairs.
"Prue!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"I said we'll talk later." Prue said in a that's final tone and continued walking upstairs.
This might be harder than Phoebe thought. Prue just blew her off. She knew that some part of her was still pissed which was the main reason she had blown her off. She figure she should drag Prue's ass out of the bathroom and make her listen but she thought for moment maybe she should come up with game plan herself and tell her sisters later. Seeming as she right now was getting nowhere with them. She would check the book of shadows. She needed to know what that purple light was, who and why these people were trying kill Chris, What they were and how her and sisters was gonna stop them. The why bit she probably wouldn't know but she would try and get a head start.
Phoebe headed up to the attic. She grabbed some pen and paper began to read the book. Prue had set her bath and had got in it. She knew she was being hard on Phoebe but she couldn't help it she was still mad at her. She would be civil seeming as how she could of died this morning but she was still mad at her and she wasn't going to let her forget that easy.
The next hour Prue spent in the bath while Phoebe was planning and reading.
Prue was purposely stalling and had somehow managed to take an hour and a half to get dressed and put make up on her face. She had finally gone downstairs and it was quarter 4.
"Phoebe I'm going to the museum now. I'll be back later." Prue said she turned around and started walking to the door when she heard Phoebe's feet come rushing downstairs. "Can you go to the museum and then quake?" Phoebe asked. She looked tired.
Prue was going to argue but could see the tired look and said "Fine, whatever. Now come on." She put her jacket back on, grabbed her purse and walked out to the car. Phoebe did the same. Prue drove to the museum and told Phoebe to wait in the car that she'd roughly be 20 minutes or half an hour at the most. This gave Phoebe the chance for some shut eye.
She only expected to be asleep for half an hour or an hour at the most knowing her sister but that turned into four hours. When she woke up it was 20:13. Why the hell was Prue still in there. Phoebe bibbed the horn about 10 times before Prue came rushing out.
"Phoebe what's wrong?" Prue said looking around for imminent danger.
"Oh you know I've been asleep for 4 hours in your car." Phoebe shouted sarcastically.
"I told you I was gonna be a while." Prue said annoyed at her sister.
"No you said you were going to be 20-30 minutes." Phoebe said glaring at her sister.
"Well I'm almost done Phoebe have a little Patience and I will be out." Prue said and walked away pissed.
Phoebe couldn't believe the nerve of her sister. Phoebe was asleep for 4 hours but Prue was snapping at her. There was some sicko on the loose that could of walked right past Phoebe. She still needed to talk to Prue and Piper it was all she had been trying to do. The time became 20:47 before finally Prue came out.
"Now where am I supposed to be heading?" Prue said still in irriratated voice.
"Quake." Phoebe said behind gritted teeth.
"Right." Prue said and began to drive.
The drive was awkward, angry and silent. Phoebe was seething to herself.
This destiny better be worth it if this is all the crap I gotta go through. Phoebe thought to herself as the streets of San Francisco passed by her eyes.

AN: So I decided to do a fill in chapter because it just wouldn't make sense if I just cut to dark and I used the excuse of winter and also it occurred to me that Phoebe hadn't slept yet cause she stayed awake the previous night. I also wanted to show Prue trying to balance being big sister and total douchebag. Paige is staying overnight in hospital. Chris is sleeping off his headache and Piper is still with Jeremy so it mostly stayed Phoebe and Prue. I hope you enjoyed.
