Title: Sister Switch Off

Chapter Twenty-Six ~ Don't Finish That
"Paige, is the dip almost- Oh! I'm sorry. I didn't see anything." Paige pulled away from Dan's lips and looked at Phoebe.
The middle sister had her hand covering her eyes. It was clear that she was peeking through her fingers, but didn't want to show it. Paige smiled at her sister and touched Dan's chest.
"Phoebe, take your hand from your face. It's okay."
"I- Piper sent me to check on you two. I think she has a sixth sense or something. Is the dip done? I smell the cheese." Phoebe rattled, walking to the microwave.
Dan chuckled and kissed Paige's cheek.
"I'll be hanging out with Leo and Wyatt tonight, I might take a walk or something. So, if you need me-"
"Not in the middle of the night, you won't. We may live in a safe neighborhood, but you still don't go out for a walk after dark." Phoebe said, taking a bite of the dip.
"Okay." Dan put his hands up in defense. "I'll stay in. Can I sit on the porch or the steps? Is that okay?"
Phoebe rolled her eyes. "Don't be silly, Dan. Of course you can." She picked up the bowl of dip; a small towel protected her hands from the heat. She started the route back to the attic. "Paige, grab those bags of chips, will you?" Phoebe called over her shoulder.
Paige shrugged and grabbed the chips. She gave Dan a quick kiss, and then followed her sisters trail.

The three sisters sat in a circle, and each of them had a notebook sitting in front of them. They were steadily writing in them, and it was obvious that they had written many spells already, for there were balls of paper strewn on the attic floor.
"Okay," Phoebe started, "how about this?"
Set my heart free,
Rid me of my pain.
No more shall I weep,
No tears like rain.
Bury the lost love,
And no more shall it be.
Open my heart up,
Send a man to me.
No evil being,
No strange faces.
No backfires,
And no hidden traces.
"Did it work?" Piper looked at her sister. Phoebe shrugged.
"I don't know."
"I like how you threw that no backfires in there. No personal gain response. That's good." Paige said, taking the last sip of her daiquiri. "Keep that one just in case."
Piper reached over Phoebe and picked up the back of chips, only to find it empty. She frowned and stared at her sisters.
"Who ate the last of the chips?" Paige pointed at Phoebe.
"I'll go get some though." Paige said, standing up.
She was a bit tipsy. She knew she would be, even after one drink. Piper noticed her stumble while getting up, and she frowned. She shouldn't have let Paige drink the whole daiquiri.
"Nah, you stay and continue writing. I'll get them." Piper started down the stairs before Paige could leave the attic.
The oldest sister reached the living room and smiled at the three boys. Leo was lying on the larger couch, with Wyatt asleep on his chest. The baby had a small bald spot on the back of his head, and she frowned. Piper didn't like to lay the baby on his stomach, for she was afraid that he'd turn his head and smother himself. Since he was almost always on his back, it rubbed the hair from his head off.
She didn't worry too much about it; most babies had the small spot where hair didn't grow. She wondered if Patti put her, Prue, and Phoebe, on their backs or stomachs.
She leaned down and kissed the babe's head, and then her husbands. She turned as she heard Dan stir, and she smiled. Dan was on the smaller sofa, and his knees were bent over the armrest. His arms were crossed over his chest, and he looked completely at ease.
Piper brushed Dan's hair from his face, and pulled the afghan from the back of the couch. She placed it on him, hoping he'd be more comfortable with the cover. He was going to go through a tough time in the next couple of weeks, possibly months, trying to learn the new powers. It was a stressful time for her, learning both of her powers. Hopefully it would be easier for Dan.
Sighing, she turned and walked to the kitchen where she grabbed another bag of chips and headed upstairs to her sisters.
When she got there, Paige and Phoebe were standing over the cauldron tossing random things inside. The last thing was a red rose.
Just a test,
Not for gain.
Take this rose,
Make it plain.
A bellow of smoke burst out of the pot. The two younger sisters waved their hands to clear the smoke. They peered down into the cauldron, and Phoebe stuck her hand in.
"Look, it worked." She pulled out the rose. Only instead of being red, it was white.
Piper coughed and made herself known.
"Good, you're back. I want to try one that I wrote, but I want to see what you think of it." Paige said.
The other two sisters sat down, and Paige lit a candle. She folded her spell, and held it over the candle, allowing it to flame.
Send none younger,
And send none older.
A simple no or yes,
Please don't send a pest.
Show me how it should be,
Please, just let me see.
Who is my only man,
"Paige, don't finish that." Piper said, reaching to snatch the spell from Paige's fingers. Paige pulled it back from Piper's reach.
Paige didn't listen; she said the last line of the spell.
"Does my heart belong to Dan?"
The entire attic filled with smoke, and Piper and Phoebe fought to see. The smoke twirled, in a tornado style, all focusing on the youngest sister.
Slowly, Paige faded from their vision, and she was gone.
As quickly as the smoke appeared, it was gone.
Only Phoebe and Piper stood in the attic, both with shocked looks on their faces. Their baby sister was gone.
