"Over budget?" Piper exclaimed looking down at the invoice form for P3. "This can't be right!"

"It is." Austin, Pipers new assistant manager for the club said shaking his head.

Piper read and re-read the paper. "How? I calculated everything!"

Austin took the paper from Piper. "Look, you estimated! Look around! The stage area expansion got you the most. Plus the new paint, and counter top. Renovations on this place are killing you." Austin sighed. "Plus you're getting BIG music. And P3 has been closed 3 nights a week for the last 2 months for the work and you loose lots of money when you're closed."

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know but your going to have to find a way to get some money in your bank account before it bounces!"

………………………………

Later that night Piper sat at the table with her family. She had called a family meeting and the only person missing was Kyle who conveniently had a meeting with the elders at the moment.

"Ok" Piper said standing up. "There are some serious problems that we all need to talk about!" Leo, Phoebe and Paige looked up at Piper in silence. "First, there is P3! We need to find a way to get some money! We're over budget this month because of repairs. Any idea's on how? Some thing we can do, that will attract customers?"

"What about a talent show?" Leo asked. "They seem to be very popular."

Piper shook her head. "No that won't bring in any money, just take up money!"

"Not if you charge a try-out fee!" Paige chimed in. "You could call it a musical talent competition."

"Yeah!" Phoebe said excited. "You could call producers and let them know! You can put up signs, and give out a cash reward of 500! Charge a 20 dollar try-out fee. Me, Leo, and Paige can be judges and the top 20 make it! Then every Friday night have 2 compete and the winner advances! Keep doing that till your down to the last 2 and have one more final competition, winner gets a 500 reward. You can put on the signs that there may be talent scouts in the club to encourage people to try out!" Phoebe said. "It'll be like our own little American Idol! Except after try-outs let the crowd vote! So Leo, Paige and I won't have to be tied up!"

Piper didn't think it would work. "I don't know! It would only bring in about 1500 and that's an awful lot of work for that little money!"

"You also have to account for the money that the crowd will attract." Leo told Piper in a re-assuring voice.

Piper nodded. "Ok. I'll run it by Austin and see if he thinks it's a good idea." Piper paused. "Ok next order of business! Phoebe and Paige! What ever is wrong what ever your mad at Paige about, has got to end."

"Taken care of!" Phoebe said putting her head down on the table.

"Oh!" Piper said confused. "Well, there is also the problem with the wedding."

"WHAT!" Paige asked defensively.

Piper sighed. "Nothing that can't be fixed! It's just that you've been extra crazy lately and I think you need to take a vacation!"

"But it's to close to the wedding there's to much to do!" Paige protested.

"Pipers right Paige." Leo said lightly. "You're under a lot of stress and it's getting to you! Between the wedding, your witch duties, white lighter duties and being pregnant and hardly ever seeing your fiancé you're not sleeping right, not eating right and you're on edge all the time!"

"I agree" Phoebe said lifting her head up. "You need a vacation!"

"So it's settled. Paige gets a vacation!"

"Talk about being voted of the Island!" Paige grumbled. "Why do y'all get a say anyway?"

Piper glared at Paige. "Because we love you!" she finally said smiling. "Plus we're the ones that have to put up with you and Grumpy Paige isn't fun to deal with!"

Phoebe started rummaging through her purse.

"What are you doing?" Piper demanded.

"Looking for something!" Phoebe said without looking up. "Aha here it is!" She said pulling out what looked like a coupon. "this is for Paige!"

"What is it? A coupon for 2.00 off Crest Whiting Tooth Paste ?" Paige ask sarcastically. "Are you trying to tell me to brush more?"

Phoebe Pursed her lips. "NO! It's a 2 day pass for the Dream Day Hotel and Spa! Someone I enter viewed for my column gave it to me and I never used it! It's still good!"

Piper smiled. "Perfect. So Paige will leave tomorrow on a two day vacation."

"Do I get a say in this?" Paige asked annoyed.

"No"

"No" Phoebe and Piper said in unison. Paige sighed and glared off into space.

"Now… on to other issues. Kyle is getting to be a problem! He's a big source of Your frustration Paige! He's not making time for you, the wedding or anything else besides his charges, which is another thing, he's our white lighter too, he should come when we call. What if there was an emergency?"

"What do you want me to do?" Paige protested. "I've tried to talk to him! I've even tried scheduling a meeting with him but he always misses them or shows up really late when I'm off dealing with Power of Three stuff or MY charges! By the way, who's going to help my new charge while I'm off on my mini Vaca.?"

"You can take him your cell and have him call me!" Phoebe offered. "Helping people is what I do and it would be fun to play white lighter for a day or two. If there is serious trouble, which I'm sure there won't be, we will call you ASAP. Ok?"

Paige pursed her lips once again. "I guess! You guys are seriously sending me away? This bites!" She mumbled.

Piper clapped her hands. "Ok. Back to the subject!"

The room lit up with Orbs.

"Hey." Kyle said sitting down next to Paige. "Look honey, about…"

"Later!" Piper interrupted. "Kyle you have to come when we call you! There could be an emergency! We're your charges!"

Kyle scrunched his forehead. "I can sense when you're in trouble or hurt. If you where I would come!"

"Kyle you can't just come when you know there hurt." Leo spoke softly. "A white lighter/Witch bond is more than that! Your supposed to guide them, help them make the right choices, and council them. Sometimes they need info from the elder on demons and other things."

"What about Paige! She can do that just as easily! She has to take on some responsibility her self!" Kyle said defensively.

"What?!" Paige demanded. "How do I got to the elders for info when a demon might get ready to attack and we need the power of three? And I do take on responsibility! Who do you thinks been planning this wedding? Who do you think heels Piper and Phoebe when you don't answer there calls? Who do you think takes care of my charge? Who do you think washes your cloths for you? I do all that!" Paige paused. "How dare you say that? You're the one that's ignoring calls from US! You're the one that doesn't hardly come home at night! And you're the one that won't help out with the wedding and spend time with me! You're always busy with your stupid charge in Italy!" Paige screamed at Kyle. "And you want to know what Broady? I don't think I want to marry you right now, or at all if this is a preview of our lives to come!"

Kyle was silent for a moment. "Do you want me to leave Paige? Because if you want me to, I will and I won't come back."

"If that's what you want go Kyle! I love you and I want to be with you and the baby I'm carrying deserves to have you in it's life, but don't let that keep you here! If you want to go, GO!!" Paige ran out of the dinning room, up the stairs and into her room and slammed the door.

The first person to say anything was Kyle.

He looked confused. "Baby?"
