Piper and Paige sat in P3 making small talk. They had been informed by Leo that they needed
the charmed ones as sacrifices for the apocalyptic ceremony, and thought it best to get out of
the manor - that's the first place they'd look. Phoebe had gone to the wicca store to try and
get more information on the brotherhood.


Paige was lost in thought's of Glenn and whether she'd see him again. She had sent him across
the bay to see his friends and warned him not to come back until she called him. It wasn't easy
but they had agreed.

Piper couldn't help but feel slightly happy. Prue was back, her big sister was back and it
instantly took away the pressure and the sadness. Now all she had to worry about was staying
alive long enough to enjoy having Prue back.

"Ever feel like printing BAIT on your forehead?"

Piper laughed, "Yeah, I think if they put a UV light near us we'd have sitting duck written."

"It's good to see you so happy, Pipe."

Piper smiled, "Let's just hope this works out so I can stay happy. And don't call me Pipe." she
said sticking her tongue out at Paige.

"Not gonna happen. I like calling you that too much."

"Hey, do as your big sister says. No calling me Pipe. Master or oh great sister - yes but Pipe -
No." She joked.

Paige laughed, "like I'm ever gonna say that!"

Piper got a hurt look on her face, "oh, so you don't think I'm a good sister?"

"Aww! Of course I do, Pippy!"

Piper struggled to keep her pout, "that's it." She said getting up nd walking to the next booth,
crossing her arms in a huff.

Paige let out a genuine laugh and dumped herself in Piper's lap. She threw her arms around
Piper and bear hugged her. "You are the bestest big sis in the whole wide world!" She said in
a baby voice.

Piper laughed, "that's more like it, squirt! Hey, I like that. Your squirt if I'm pipe."

Paige groaned, "you drive a hard bargain, Pipe."

"I know, Squirt."

Paige got off Piper and sat down next to Piper. "You are gonna stick to that aren't you?"

"Damn right I am."

"You know, Pipe, you're a big bag of fun today, considering it's the apocalypse and all."

Piper thought about it a second, "yeah, I guess I am. It's just with Prue back, everything
seems right. Apart from these creepy dudes trying to kill us."

Ironically (cough) 3 of the brotherhood shimmered into the dance floor of P3.

Piper stood Infront of Paige subconsciously. She tried blowing them up knowing in the back
of her mind it wouldn't work.

Behind Piper, Paige was summoning 2 knife's from the kitchen. "Piper, here!." She said giving
one to Piper and heading for the first demon.

Piper followed Paige lead going for another.

Neither of them noticed as the other one went towards the bar and soaked it in alcohol.

Paige still struggled with demon #1. She orbed out of the way as he dived for her. She orbed
back in and stabbed him in the back, moments later he burst into flames.

Piper meanwhile was not doing so well. Demon # 2 was proving too strong for Piper as he
took a lucky shot and managed to knock her out. HE grinned evilly as he picked up the knife
and raised it above his head.

Paige saw the situation and ran at Demon #2. She knocked him away from Piper first then
quickly stabbed him with her knife.

She was about to check on Piper when she smelt something, smoke. She looked over towards
the bar to see it completely alight. Demon #3 was too busy trying make the fire spread to
notice Paige looking at him.

She stalked towards him quietly hoping to make it quick but he saw her coming at him just in
time to dodge her attack. Paige pulled herself off the floor and waited for him to make his
move.

Demon #3 leaped at Paige and knocked her down again. She dropped the knife as he began to
strangle her. Paige begin to Panic as she tried to get the air back into her lungs. She kicked out
with all her strength and managed to kick him away.

Demon #3 was now beyond pissed as he jumped at Paige again. He didn't even see what was
coming as Paige quickly held the knife up and caught him right in the heart. He screamed in
agony as he disappeared.

Paige looked about, the whole bar area was in flames and she was too close. She got up ready
to find Piper when all the bottles made quite an explosion and sent her flying through the air.
She landed roughly on the hard floor, unconscious.

Piper cleared the fogginess of her mind to find the fogginess of her club. She sat up trying to
ignore the pain in her head.

She couldn't help but gasp as she saw her beautiful club burning. The entire bar and anything
surrounding was engulfed with flames.

She was at the foot of the stairs and almost made a break for them when she realised Paige
could be in their somewhere. She began checking along the far wall hoping she wasn't far in.

She was terrified when she couldn't find her baby sister. There was no response when she
called for her but she couldn't leave. Not without checking everywhere.

She carefully ventured nearer the bar. She couldn't see anything and found it hard to breath as
the smoke got unbearably thick. Just as she was about to turn about she felt something at her
feet. Kneeling down she felt around her and found what could only be Paige.

Piper got a grip on Paige and pulled her to the safest corner of the club she could find. There
was no way she would be able to carry Paige up the stairs.

"Paige?! Can you hear me?" The silence that came back as her made her feel sick. She took a
closer look at Paige. She was deadly still and bleeding from a tiny little Knicks.

Her nightmare was confirmed when she felt no pulse. This was too much like the nightmares
she had. She had been here once before and she didn't feel in comfort in that.

Piper began CPR on Paige while praying that it'd work. She knew she couldn't go on much
longer. With each breath she gave to Paige she found harder to get back in the ever thickening
smoke.

She let tears of relief fall as Paige sucked in a deep breath. Piper carefully rolled her on her
side as Paige coughed.

"Honey, we have to get out of here, can you get up?" She was met with more coughing. She
moved to her last hope.

"PRUE! LEO!" She screamed as loud as she could. Blue orbs appeared at her side and slowly
formed a shocked Prue who barely looked around before orbing them all outside.

Piper tried to catch her breath again as she tried to clear the smoke from her lungs. Paige was
still coughing and Piper now realised she was pretty much out of it.

Prue put both her hands over Paige and summoned her healing power. How could the elders
not have said something sooner? P3 was practically burnt down with 2 of her sisters inside.
After Paige she healed the nasty gash on Piper's head and the smoke inhalation.

Paige pulled herself up and sat looking at both her sisters' who threw hemself's at her in a
group hug.

"That was too damn close, Spuirt." Piper whispered.
