Lizzie walks into the kitchen and finds Chris sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Piper to cook his eggs. "Oh, so now you're too lazy to even cook your own breakfast?"
"Hey, mom wanted to do it. You know how it calms her nerves."
"Yea, sure."
Piper walks over to the table and gives Chris his plate. "You two are old enough to live on your own, and yet you still fight as if you were still in grade school. I have the good mind to kick you both out."
Chris looks up at the ceiling in confusion. "One of my charges is calling me." and with a swirl of orbs he's gone.
"Guess I'll eat his eggs. Don't want them going to waste. Hey mom, where's Wyatt?"
"Your dad's giving him another charge. He's been begging him for another one."
"Well, it'll keep him busy."

The phone rings and Phoebe rolls over out of bed to pick it up. "Hello?"
"Hey honey, it's me."
"Jason? Where are you? You were supposed to have the day off."
"Yea, I know. Something's going on at my paper in Paris. They want me to negotiate something to do with the workers' labor rights. I won't be home 'til later this week."
"Well, I'll tell Paige you can't come to her anniversary party."
"I'm really sorry. I hate to do this to you and your sisters."
"They'll understand."
"Ok hon, I've got to go now."
"Ok, bye" She hangs up the phone in frustration and goes to the bathroom to take a shower. "I'll call Paige and Piper later."

Paige rolls over and looks at her nightstand. "Who turned off the alarm?" She looks over her shoulder to find that Richard's not in bed. She puts on her bathrobe and heads downstairs. When she walks into the dining room, she finds a table set for two. "What's he up to?"
Richard walks into the room carrying a tray with two breakfasts.
"What's this?"
"An anniversary breakfast."
"Oh honey, you didn't have to do that, I would have been happy with a pop- tart."
A voice came from the kitchen, "Mom, you're lying through your teeth."
"Risa, what are you doing here?"
"Do you really think Dad could do this all by himself?"
"No, not really."
"Risa, you're just like your mother. You never give me any credit."
"Dad, you can't even cook a hot dog in a microwave without blowing it up."
"You know Richard, she's right."
"See ya'll at dinner tonight. I've got to go to work now." and with a swirl of orbs. She's gone.
"Ok then, let's eat."
"Wait, did you cook this or did Risa cook it?"
"Risa did, but I set the table."
"Ok, I trust her cooking.
"I'll pretend I didn't just hear that."

Lizzie's washing the dishes when a small cat comes in purring and meowing. "Oh Missy, did I forget to feed you?" She walks over to a cabinet and takes a bag of cat food out. Missy sees it and runs over to her food bowl. When Lizzie pours the food into the bowl, she realizes that Missy needs water too. "You poor thing. I've been neglecting you lately."
Leo orbs in with a confused look on his face. "Where's your mother?"
"Upstairs getting dressed. Why?"
"No reason." Leo orbs away leaving Lizzie confused.
"Uh-oh, I have a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach."

Phoebe walks out of the bathroom. "Ok, what am I going to wear to Paige's party?
Just then a golden retriever walks into the bedroom and sits down next to Phoebe.
"Hey Penny, what do you think I should wear to Paige's party?"
The dog barks and walks over to a blue halter-top dress.
"Ooh, good choice. How about those white strapped heels?"
Penny sits down and starts wagging her tail.
"Ok, I've got my outfit. Now all I need to do is call Paige and tell her Jason won't be coming."
