-Chapter 1-

The alarm clock screeched. "Paige! Can you get that?" yelled Pheobe from the kitchen. Wearing her Casual Cool outfit ready to look for work, Pheobe was already frustrated and certainly didn't need the extra noise as she looked at the classifieds in the morning paper. Paige continued sleeping peacefully wrapped in several cashmeer quilts. "Paige!" yelled Piper sternly. Piper was still getting used to Paige and it wasn't easy. Having to deal with the loss of Prue Halliwell, the eldest Charmed One, not only endangered her life but also broke her heart. Then finding out that their mother had ANOTHER girl and the father was her WHITELIGHTER, now that was just too much to handle. Piper was at bursting point. "Alright, that's it you stubborn bitch!" said Piper as she lost he temper. She rushed upstairs and zoomed past Paige's abvious 'KEEP OUT TO ALL' sigh on the door. "Doesn't this girl ever get up on time?" she muttered to herself. She quickly turned off the pink and blue alarm clock and glided back downstairs. "Peace at last!" she sighed.

Paige crawled out of bed, her hair frizzy and tangled. She glanced at the clock. "Ah crap!" The reality sunk in, 10:30. "Why didn't anyone wake me? I am beyond late!" said Paige as she ran dowstairs meanwhile putting on her salad green parker, one of her less revealing outfits. "Can I have some coffee Piper?" she asked still fiddling with her parker. "Piper?" As Paige looked around the empty kitchen the reality of the situation sunk in, she was so late that her sisters had already left! Paige threw up her hands. "They don't wake me AND I have to make my own breakfast!" said Paige obviously annoyed. "Frikin sisters, this is what you get for being a Charmed One." she mumbled. "On second thoughts," Paige said deviously and put down the kettle "I think I'll call in sick today!" She picked up the phone. "No it's a cold." said Paige assuringly. "Oh you know how these things, just spring out!" Paige smiled. "Thank you for being so understanding Mr. Cowan." Paige finished and hung up. The green parker covered her grey pyjamas, torn and tatty as she rushed upstairs. "The first thing I'm going to do is buy some new pyjamas!" she sang happily to herself. "Damn big shopping day ahead!" "Paige!" a voice yelled from behind the front door. "Darrell?"

I wonder if Paige ever got up? thought Pheobe as she drove to her next interview. She had already applied for a job at the local supermarket, the pet shop and the library but this was the only one that she had actually thought seriously about. I guess being an Agony Aunt isn't that bad. thought Pheobe as she pulled up near a small building wedged inbetween a cute little old fasioned coffee shop called Coffee Central and a pharmacy called Penny's. Across the road were a few posh shops. Pheobe noticed one Paige had mentioned before, Ave Amore. The building that Pheobe was looking for had a large sign on front with large letters. The red paint was peeling but Pheobe could still read it. "New Press?" she said to herself. "What the hell is the world coming to?" A dark green sedan pulled up next to Pheobe's car but she didn't notice, she was too busy fretting about how she looked.

"Oh you won't believe what Paige was like this morning!" Piper complained to Leo. "We tried to pull her out of bed but, well let's just say: that girl is STRONG!" Leo looked up at Piper obviously puzzled. "We didn't succeed," Piper explained. The couple were cleaning up at P3 to get it ready for when customers started pouring in late in the evening. "I think I need more skotch," Piper declared. "More?" asked Leo as he rearranged the glasses. "It's really popular, and not that expensive," Piper walked over to the bench top and wiped the polished wood thoroughly. "Piper," Leo began quietly. "What!?" Piper spun around and glared at Leo. "What's wrong?" he asked. "You seem edgy." Piper starred at Leo. She walked over to the bar and considered wiping it but instead she flopped down on one of the stools. "It's Paige. She is really getting on my nerves!" Piper said. "Dammit, I know she's new to the whole witch thing but I can't help it! Why can't she ever get ANYTHING right?" she asked her husband. Leo sighed. "Because you are still in denial about Prue's death. Paige isn't doing anything wrong, you just see it that way. Face it Piper, you didn't always get up at 6am did you?" asked her husband. Piper smiled and blushed innocently. "No I didn't Leo!" she said and playfully punched her husband. "But the last time I did was when I was 17! It's different now that I own P3." "And I have a new sister." she said under heer breath.
