Paige burst in through the front door and ran up to Piper.

"What is it? What's the emergency that had to drag me away from work?"

Piper gestured to the clock. The Angel of Destiny was examining it, he turned to Paige and waved. Paige groaned and stood defensively with her arms crossed.

"What do you want now? We are not giving up our powers."

"Calm down my dear, its nothing like that. Well in a way it is…I suppose."

Piper tutted and rolled her eyes, before addressing Paige.

"He's been speaking in riddles ever since he got here. He said he wouldn't tell us until we are all here. I called Phoebe but she still isn't here. It's been 20 minutes now."

"Maybe she got lost on the way. Or distracted by a shiny object?"

"Don't even joke, we both know how Phoebe can be sometimes."

"Who was joking?"

They shared a superior look, knowing that they were both better than Phoebe, and then turned to the Angel of Destiny.

"You do realise that it could be hours, possible days, till Phoebe gets here. Why not tell us why you are here."

"After all, I'm the responsible sister and Paige is shaping up well. Phoebe wouldn't really have any say in the matter anyway."

"That's true. She just goes along with whoever bribes her with the most stuff. I'm sure an important angel like yourself has places to be and important things to be doing."

Paige said, in a wheedling voice. The Angel shrugged and relented.

"Well if you put it like that. You have been given another reward for all the good work you've done."

"Now when you say 'reward'…"

Paige said warily, as Piper sat down with a sigh.

"As with the other reward, you'll be given time to consider your choice and majority rules again."

"Yeah yeah, that's nice. But could you actually get round to telling us what it is? I've got a house to clean and a club to run."

"There's no need to take that tone with me young lady. You have been given the chance to bring back your lost sister."

"Our lost sister? Prue! You mean Prue!"

Piper's face was transformed with joy and Paige was looking pleased. Piper stopped smiling and stared cautiously at the Angel.

"That's too good to be true. What's the catch? We have to give up our powers? Give up our loved ones? Out home?"

"You have to replace her with another sister."

Piper stared blankly at him, speechless with shock. Paige's face fell and she slowly walked towards the stairs. Piper grabbed her arm.

"Paige, where are you going?"

"Upstairs to pack my things. With me gone you can bring back the original power of three."

"Not so fast Paige."

"Not so fast? You mean you want me more than Phoebe?"

Paige cried tears of happiness and hugged Piper.

"I think we should go and talk to Grams and 'mom' before any decisions are made. But I have an inkling as to which way I'll vote."

Paige orbed them both up to the attic and they began the séance. The Angel of Destiny smiled and muttered thoughtfully to himself, before going to report to the elders.

"At last, the power of three shall have three powerful witches. Instead of two and a negligible liability."

* * *

Two hours passed and Phoebe eventually arrived. She was dragging Cole along by his tie, and doing a retarded laugh. Cole was randomly turning into Belthazor and using evil demonic powers. He shimmered to the CD player and put on a cheesy Japanese love song. Phoebe lay back on the couch and unbuttoned her top. Cole blinked over and started to kiss her. Things got a bit steamy and in the heat of the moment he knocked a vase from the table.

* * *

Everyone in the attic looked up and groaned.

"It looks like Phoebe and Cole are back. Oh and she's only two hours late this time. Excuse me guys, I better go get them up here."

Piper apologised to the people in the room and walked out. Paige rolled her eyes and muttered about dumb witches and even dumber half/ex randomly good/evil demons.

* * *

Cole clambered off Phoebe with a satisfied look on his face as Piper marched downstairs with an angry look on her face. Phoebe smiled stupidly at her over the top of the couch.

"Its lucky you didn't get down here one minute ago Piper, or you would have interrupted something!"

Piper stifled a snigger.

"A minute? But you only got in about two minutes ago. And by the looks of it you only just finished."

Cole blushed and pulled on his trousers. Piper pointed and exclaimed.

"Woah! That's a big cock!"

"Why thank yo…"

Cole began, but realised Piper was pointing at the random male chicken that had just appeared. It flew up to Phoebe and pecked her on the head, before giving a loud cluck and flying out the window.

"Well as long as you two are done, we need you in the attic. Something big has come up, and I'm definitely not talking about Cole!"

She laughed and ran upstairs. Cole started to cry and randomly turned evil. Then he turned good. Then he turned evil. Then he turned good, and then he turned into The Source. The he turned into Belthazor. The he turned back into 'normal' Cole. Phoebe looked confused, well more confused than usual, and led him upstairs.

* * *

"Ok here they come now. Not that we really need Cole…or Phoebe for that matter, its just being polite."

"Well I didn't raise you to be rude, now did I Piper?"

Commented Grams as she smiled at Piper. Phoebe and Cole walked through the door and an uncomfortable silence filled the room.

"So glad you could make it Phoebe…"

"What did you guys want to tell me?"

"The Angel of Destiny came and told us we are getting a reward for being so great. Well most of us are great."

She said staring at Phoebe.

"We get Prue back but only if we give up another sister."

Phoebe smiled and then waved apologetically at Paige. Paige smugly waved back.

"We decided that we want Prue and we don't really want you."

Said Paige casually. Piper hastily added;

"But we thought that we should let you know the reasons we don't want you anymore. I think you should take a seat, there's a lot to say."

Phoebe sat on the floor and Cole shimmered randomly round the room. Piper and Paige sat next to Grams.

"For one of the first reasons we have brought Grams to come and tell it."

"Thank you Piper. Well Phoebe, you've always been the wildcard. The hell raiser. The one most likely to get pregnant and become addicted to drugs."

"The Bitch of the family."

Paige threw in. Before letting Grams continue.

"Well, Paige summed it up, although in a manner less eloquent than mine. But there are far graver things to blame you for."

She took a sighed and put her hand over her heart.

"You killed me Phoebe! You are guilty of killing your poor old Grams. And after all I did for you."

Phoebe stood up and spluttered incoherently before shaking her head.

"I so didn't kill you Grams. You had a heart attack remember?"

"What do you think caused it? It was all you Phoebe; it was entirely your fault. The stress and the arguments you created, finally did me in."

"I was not the only one arguing! And I didn't cause all the arguments. What about the time Prue and Piper were fighting and ended up breaking the window?"

"They were fighting over whether to show me the shoes you'd stolen. Piper, being the kind girl she is, threw them out the window, to get them away from Prue, who wanted to show them to me."

"Oh that's convenient."

"Wow, she knows a 'big word'."

Paige said and Piper giggled. Grams waved her hand for quiet and carried on.

"That's just one of many incidents Phoebe. When you were young you were such a hellion, you put me through so much. Staying up all night, worrying whether you had been killed or raped. Every week I had to apologise to shop owners and teachers for when you'd stolen something or skipped class."

"That didn't cause the arguments, not the later ones anyway. The ones around the time of your death."

"Oh but they did. Prue, despite her cold exterior, cared for you and was so worried when you took off all the time. It caused friction between her and Piper. All the fights boiled down to you Phoebe."

"That's not fair, putting all the blame onto me. What about when Prue did…or when Piper said…"

"You see now Phoebe? They were perfect, they were flawless. Nothing they did or said was bad. It was all you…"

Piper blew the candle out and Grams's wavering form disappeared. She was lit another candle and said the spell. Phoebe was looking shocked and kept muttering to Cole, with a wild look in her eyes. Another presence entered the room.



Wowo, thats the first chapter of my new story done. Tune in next time to see which spirit just arrived and what they are going to blame Phoebe the bitch of.
BTW I don't mind flames from you Phoebe lubbers, so FLAME AHOY.
