Author's Note: Although it may say this chapter is "Chapter 3", it is actually Chapter 2. Sorry for the confusion. I have complained to the site about it. So, without further ado, here is Chapter 2. ________________________________________________________________________

The phone starts ringing and Richard picks it up. "Hello?"

"Hi Richard, it's Phoebe. Is Paige there?"

"No, she's in the shower. Can I take a message?"

"Tell her that Jason won't be able to make it to the dinner party tonight."

"Oh, she won't like that."

"I know. He's overseas negotiating something."

"Ok I'll tell her. Bye."

Paige walks down the stairs as Richard hangs up the phone. "Who was that?"

"It was Phoebe."

"What did she want?"

"Jason can't come to the party."

"Oh, that's too bad. Did she say why?"

"He has to negotiate something overseas."

"I'll call Piper and tell her to make one less serving."

"Can't you do that later? I have a present for you upstairs."

"Well..." She looks over and sees the anticipation on his face. "Ok"

Lizzie walks into the kitchen and sees her Piper covered in flour. "Mom, you need any help?"

"PLEASE!"

"Ok, what do you need me to do?"

At that moment the phone rings.

"UUGH!"

"Don't worry Mom, I'll get it ... Hello?"

"Hi Lizzie, is your mom there?"

"Yea, but her hands are a little messy."

Piper yells in the background "PUT IT ON SPEAKER!"

"You want me to put it on speaker phone so she can talk to you?"

"Yes dear, if you could."

"Hello?"

"Hi Piper."

"Phoebe, what's wrong?"

"Jason won't be able to come to Paige's party tonight. I just wanted to let you know so that you don't end up making an extra meal."

"Ok, thanks. See you tonight."

"Bye."

"Ok Wyatt, your new charge's name is Christina Johnson. She's a new witch and doesn't know what a white-lighter is, so don't scare her too much."

Just then, a young white-lighter orbs in. "Hey Leo, what's my charge's name again?"

"I'll tell you later Ryan. I'm giving Wyatt a charge right now."

"Oh, sorry. I'll leave you two alone."

"Who was he?"

"Another white-lighter who's getting a new charge."

"Oh. What else do I need to know about Christie?"

The doorbell rings. Paige is running down the hall. "I'LL GET IT!" When she reaches the door, she gasps for a breath of air and opens it.

"Happy Anniversury!"

"Hi Risa."

"Am I the first one here?"

"Honey, the caterer hasn't even shown up yet."

"Don't be silly, Aunt Piper's not a caterer."

"I was being sarcastic."

"I know. So was I."

Parker and Peggy were walking up the path just as Paige was about to shut the door.

"WAIT FOR US!"

"Peggy, don't run. You'll break a heel."

"Shut up Parker. You want her to lock us out?"

"Be nice you two, or I will lock you out."

"Sorry Aunt Paige, Happy Anniversury!"

Piper's rushing to put the food on trays and have her sons orb them to Paige's house. "Ok, it's all at the house now. LEE ..."

Leo orbs down wearing a nice black suit. "Ready?"

"Orb me away!"

Lizzie comes running into the kitchen. "WAIT! Oh, I'm too late. They're already gone. WYATT!"

A swirl of orbs lands behind her. "What?"

"They forgot me."
