Chapter 1

~~~*P3*~~~

"Vanessa Carlton is on fire tonight!" exclaimed Paige as she and her fiancé Richard ran up to Piper who was working behind the bar in her club 'P3'. "I'm glad you, and everyone else it seems, think so." She replied looking round at all the people dancing. "I bet Phoebe and Cole will regret missing this!" "They probably will. Go and join Prue, Andy and Leo and I'll bring some drinks over." Said Piper, looking at the queue of thirsty people lining up behind them. 'I suppose I should be happy it's a busy evening. Means more money.' She thought to herself as she served the baldish man in front of her.
Prue smiled as Paige approached the group of chairs the Halliwell family always sat on. "Leo. What time is it?" asked Prue, whose excuse for not wearing a watch was that it didn't go with her outfit. Leo looked down at his gold sovereign watch that Piper bought him as an anniversary present the year before. "11:30. Why?" "I wanna go home and check on Charley." Charlotte Patricia Halliwell was Prue and Andy's 2 year old daughter. "I'm sure Phoebe and Cole are fine with all 5 of them." Replied Leo. "I guess your right." She said with a little smile on her face. You see all of them were parents except Paige and Richard who were waiting until they were married. Piper and Leo had 3 children. Wyatt Matthew Halliwell who was 5, Christopher Perry Halliwell who was 4 and Melinda Prudence Halliwell who was 3. Phoebe and Cole had a 1 year old daughter called Cassandra Penelope Halliwell. Tonight was Phoebe and Cole's turn to baby-sit. With that the group happily chatted among themselves about normal things, money, cars etc. "Hey Piper you closing now?" asked Richard as she walked up to them. "Yeah it's midnight. Lucy, Dave and Martin are gonna tidy and lock up so we can go now." "Cool" chimed Prue as she really wanted to see Charley. She found that even though she was 2, she was finding it hard to part from her. "Back to the manor it is then!" piped Andy who was unusually quiet all evening.
