Things had settled down at the manor. The girls realized that even though they missed Prue, they needed to keep moving. Piper was as happy as could be being back together with Leo and her lovely son, and Leo felt the same way. Phoebe was working hard at her column and also enjoying her time with Jason. Paige was hoping form job to job as she always does. But as we all know once good time come disaster soon follows.
"Hey sweetie." Leo said as he gave Piper a peck on the lips.
"Good morning." She replied putting her arm around his waist. "Have a good sleep?"
"The best!" he said going over to pour himself a cup of coffee. Just then Phoebe came in happy as a clown.
"HELLO FAMILY!!" she sang as she practically danced around the kitchen.
"Wow, Phoebes, what with all the energy? It's 6:30, shouldn't you be mopping around in your pajamas?"
"Not today!" she said giving her sister a peck on the cheek and giving Wyatt a kiss on the head. "Today's a good day!"
"Why?" asked Leo.
"Because today I'm spending the day with Jason and we are doing the whole romantic picnic thing."
"Oh la la..." Piper said nudging her sister. Then Paige entered the room with an attitude much unlike Phoebes.
"Good morning little sis!" Phoebe said grabbing Paige around the waist and embracing her in a big hug.
"Uhhhhhhhh..." Paige replied with her eyes half closed.
"Well obviously Paige isn't as excited about to day as you are." Piper said to Phoebe.
"Uhhhhhhhh..." Paige said again.
"Well," Phoebe said, I'm off to the salt mines!" she grabbed her purse and skipped out the door.
"Yeah Paige, Leo Wyatt, and I are leaving too. We are going to a parent/ child swim lesson. My kid may have the strongest power ever seen on this earth, but he still needs to know how to swim." Piper took Wyatt out of the high chair and walked upstairs followed quickly by Leo.

Later that day Phoebe was with Jason and Piper was at the pool. They had planned to meet up at P3 before opening. Paige had had a very lazy day. She watched soap operas until noon then she took an hour-long bath. She put on sweats and a tank top and trotted down the stairs. As she was walking by the window she noticed the mailman passing by. She stepped out into the sun and walked down the big stone steps.
When she reached the mailbox she heard loud tire screeches coming down the street. When she looked up she noticed a blue van in the distance with someone leaning out holding something. She couldn't make out what the object was that he was holding. Only after a loud bang did she realize what was happening. She turned around to run back into the house, but the van already spotted her and was heading toward the house at a rapid pace.
She was practically running to get to the door, but the van beat her and a bullet was fired. It grazed her shoulder and she fell to the ground. Another shot was fired and Paige felt a blazing pain in her back. She struggled for consensus but it never came. She decided to let go, to give up, this was obviously he time.

Phoebe was sitting in the park with Jason when her cell pone started to ring. "Hello?" she asked flipping it open
"Hey Phoebes, it's me." Piper said into the other end of the phone. "You need to come home now. There's been an accident."
"Piper, what is it?" Phoebe asked standing up.
"Nothing I want to tell you over the phone. Leo is going to orb you and Jason back to the manor. Meet him under the bridge where Grams used to take us in two minutes."
"Alright." Phoebe said. As she started to hang up the phone she heard Piper saying something else.
"And Phoebe?" Piper asked
"Yeah?" she responded
"I love you."
"Love you too." She said. Then she snapped her phone shut.
She turned to Jason "Honey, we need to go. Something has happened, we need to get to the manor as soon as possible."
"Okay." Jason said with a worried tone "Let's get the car."
"No Leo is picking us up. It is much faster. We need to get to the bridge."
~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~
When Phoebe got eye of the situation she started to cry. She grabbed on to Jason as hard as she could. She looked up to see Piper on the steps looking at her. She let go of Jason and ran towards Piper. They embraced in a long hug.
"Not again, no please not again!!!!" Phoebe screamed. Her face a bright shade of red and he face already tear stained.
"I know," Piper said consoling her sister. "The police said it happened in a drive by. Some drunk teenagers with a gun"
"Why does this always happen to us?" Phoebe asked. "Why are we always the ones losing everybody? We are forces of good. We should be rewarded for our work, not punished."
"Life's not fair Phoebe." Piper said trying to keep her cool. "It's just not fair."
"What are we gonna do?" Phoebe asked.
"We are gonna be careful. We are gonna be wise, and we are gonna stick together."
"Prue said that once." Phoebe said
"And it was good advice." Piper said taking Phoebe's hand and walking back into the house with her. "And then there were two." She said.
