~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ New Jobs and Powers
"Well thank goodness that she's gone, you know Pheebs I think I might find a new job, no offence or anything but I have discovered that jobs and family don't mix so I'm sorry." Paige admitted to Phoebe.
"That's ok sweetie, and no offence taken I know exactly what you mean I could sort of feel the tension building up around us so you absolutely don't need to apologize." Phoebe returned to Paige who was sulking slightly but brightened at what Phoebe said.
"I told you guys that this wasn't going to work." Piper sighed.
"Well tomorrow I'm going to look for a new job as a maid or something ok?" Paige told her sisters. "Cool" Piper and Phoebe agreed.
MORNING IN THE KITCHEN
Paige was in the kitchen flicking through the newspaper drinking coffee and circling jobs that she would apply for and some that she would go to interview for today.
"Morning sweetie what are you doing?" Phoebe asked in her cutest baby voice. "Well I'm looking for a job remember?" Paige replied looking anxious. "Oh yep, I knew that." Phoebe grinned sheepishly.
"Do you want some coffee?" Paige asked Phoebe while refilling her mug. "No thanks I'm good." Phoebe replied happily. "I have to leave in an hour for my first interview so I need lots of coffee." Paige said and then glanced over at the coffee pot on her left. "Wow that early?" Phoebe enquired. "Yeah, the family has to go out or something, my interview is with a lady called Margaret Powers but I think I'll just keep to the Mrs. Powers routine anyway she sounded really quite nice on the phone." Paige told Phoebe and Piper as she walked in with Wyatt on her hip.
"Hi guys." Piper said in her chirpy tone of voice. "Pheebs what are you doing today apart form going to work of course." Piper asked her sister. "Nothing really, but I was thinking of going to P3." Phoebe told her older sister. Piper asked "Well if you're not doing anything tonight do you think you could watch Wyatt because Leo and I are going out to dinner." "Sure I'd love to watch my one and only nephew." Phoebe replied smiling at her nephew.
"Ok guys I'm going to leave now, so I can get an idea of how to nail this job." Paige told her sisters as she re-applied her make-up and grabbed her car keys. "Good idea." Piper agreed giving a nod to her sister. "BYE!" Paige yelled as she walked out of the front door. "Oh I have to go and get ready now I have a HUGE meeting at work so I need to rid this house of hair spray for that extra-firm-feel-like-concrete- hold." Phoebe told her sister while running up the stairs.
9:00 MRS. POWERS HOUSE
"DING DONG" the door bell of the house rang and Paige stood patiently at the front door of the old looking mansion.
The door slowly creaked open and a woman stood behind the door. "Oh hi, are you Mrs. Powers?" Paige asked inquiringly. "Yes, and you must be Paige please do come in and call me Margaret."
Margaret showed Paige around the house and into the study where she pulled up a chair and offered Paige a drink which she declined, then they got down to business.
"Now first of all have you had any cleaning experience?" Margaret asked Paige while writing things down on a sheet. "Well, My sister owns a club and I try to help out there whenever I can and also I have another sister and an18 month old nephew and we all live at home so I usually clean up after them." Paige informed Margaret who was listening very attentively.
"I have just been looking at your resume and it says that you need very flexible work hours would you like to elaborate?" Margaret asked Paige pressingly. "Well it's mostly really quite personal mainly to do with family emergencies." Paige informed Margaret hoping that she hadn't let out too much.
"So you wouldn't happen to have a brother-in-law named Leo would you?" Margaret asked Paige with a small smirk creeping across her face. "Yes I do but how do you know that?" Paige asked slightly freaking out. "Well I'm an old friend of his and I must say he is a great whitelighter is he not?" Margaret said trying not to burst out laughing. Paige's jaw dropped so low that she thought it would hit the ground soon enough and then she managed to stutter out "How. How d-d-do you know?" Paige was about to orb the hell out of there when Margaret said "I'm a retired elder and Leo was always very good to his charges," Paige relaxed a bit and wiped the sweat droplets off of her forehead. "And by what my son has told me you must be one of the charmed ones and I must say it is an honour to meet you.well one of you anyway." Margaret elaborated for Paige and tried to relax her a bit more as she looked like she was going to faint.
"If I do get the job then you'll understand why I have to leave very often and suddenly, I'm also half whitelighter so don't worry if my car is here but I'm not." Paige said sounding exasperated.
"Well then congratulations! When can you start?" Margaret asked Paige eagerly and also happily.
"How about Monday next week?" Paige asked enthusiastically. "That's great I'll see you then!" Margaret replied and handed Paige a spare key to the house.
"Oh by the way I have a son Daniel he's a whitelighter and he might just pop in and out every now and then." Margaret informed Paige just as she was about to get up and leave.
"THANK YOU!" Paige yelled as she left the house and drove back to the manor.
11:00 THE MANOR
"Piper, Leo!" Paige yelled as she walked inside the manor and hung up her coat on the rack next to the door.
Piper and Leo came downstairs to greet Paige Leo spoke first saying "Hi Paige how did the job interview go?" "Well I got the job!" Paige replied happily.
"Oh sweetie that's great." Piper exclaimed and gave her baby sister a hug.
When Piper and Paige broke from the hug Paige asked "Leo, do you know a woman called Margaret Powers?"
"Yes she was a great elder but she retired early because she was pregnant. Why do you ask?" Leo Informed and also asked Paige. "Well that's the family I'm going to be working for." Paige told her Brother-in-law. "Oh that's great, you'll enjoy working for her and also her son Daniel they are both very nice and I hope you guys hook up." Paige heard all of that even though Leo mumbled the last bit.
"What was that?" Piper asked cheekily. "Ah nothing." Leo replied blushing.
The family continued talking when all of a sudden Piper disappeared.
"Piper! Piper!" Leo shouted as Piper had disappeared from right in front of both his and Paige's eyes
