Author's Note: The only reason why I'm posting this chapter so soon is because so many readers were anxious to find out what happens at the dinner party. I was rushed to finish it, so it may have a few things I might change later.

Everyone is sitting at the table reminiscing in the past. Piper walks in carrying a tray of pastries. "Paige, does this remind you of your wedding?"

"Oh no, not the pastries!"

All of the children get curious looks on their faces. Risa is the most eager to find out what happened. "Ok Aunt Piper, you HAVE to tell this story."

"Well, at the wedding reception, there was a buffet filled with what else, but pastries. Richard did something stupid, but I can't remember what."

"I forgot to buy a knife to cut the cake."

"That's it. See, this really upset Paige. She was so angry at Richard that she orbed a pastry to her hand and through it at Richard's face."

"That doesn't seem so bad. What was the big deal?"

Paige's face turned a bright red as she said, "I missed."

Everyone gasped when Piper said, "And she hit ME."

Richard started laughing uncontrollably.

"What happened next?"

"I picked up a pastry and threw it back at her, but I missed and hit Phoebe."

"That's when your brilliant father shouted FOOD FIGHT!"

"Everyone started throwing food. We had to pay extra for the clean up of the dining hall."

Lizzie and Chris walk through the door trying to ignore their parents making out outside.

"We shouldn't have let them have that many drinks."

"At least Dad had enough common sense left to let you orb us home. Otherwise he probably would have orbed us to Timbuktu!"

"Man, they're going to be so hung over tomorrow we're going to have to stay home to take care of them."

"You know what that means."

"What?"

"You're going to have to cook your own eggs tomorrow morning."

"You're never gonna' let me live that down, are you."

"Nope."

The telephone starts to ring. Lizzie walks over to answer it. "Hello?"

"Lizzie, you have to come quick, something's happened!"

"Peggy, slow down! What's wrong?"

"You have to come here now! I'm at my mom's house with her."

"Peggy ... She hung up!"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know. DAD! GET YOUR TOUNG OUT OF MOM'S MOUTH! WE HAVE TO GO TO AUNT PHOEBE'S!"

Piper and Leo suddenly snap out of their drunkenness. "What's wrong?"

"We have to go NOW!"

Phoebe's sitting on the couch in tears. Paige, Peggy, and Risa are trying to comfort her, still not knowing what is going on.

Leo and Piper orb in. Piper runs to Phoebe as soon as she sees her crying. "Phoebe, what happened?

Then Chris, Wyatt, and Lizzie orb in.

"Oh my God, Aunt Phoebe." Lizzie runs over to see what's going on.

"Jason just called me on his cell phone. His plane was running out of fuel right over the Atlantic. Then I heard people screaming. That's when his phone cut off."

Peggy erupts into tears. "Oh my God, Dad."

Paige and Piper Sit down next to Phoebe and hug her, as do Lizzie and Risa to Peggy.

Then Leo realizes Parker's not there. "Where's Parker?"

"I'll go find him." Chris orbs out.

An hour later Chris orbs back in. "I can't sense him anywhere."

Peggy gets a look of worry and anger on her face. "GOD DAMN IT PARKER! MOM AND I NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!"

Lizzie tries to calm her down. "Peggy, it's ok. We'll find him. Chris look everywhere you think he might be. Wyatt, you go too. The more help, the sooner we'll find him."

The brothers orb out determined to find Parker.

Paige gets an idea. "Phoebe, do you think you have enough strength to use your powers?"

"It depends, which power are you talking about?"

"You're an impath. Maybe if you can feel what he's feeling, you'll find out where he might be."

"I'll try." "Phoebe has a look of concentration on her face, and then she has a confused look. "He's at the manor."
