The sun had risen early and the bright light streaming through the window stirred piper form her sleep. Lazily turning over so she was facing her husband she smiled slowly before opening her eyes. He hadn't been called away during the night like he normally was. The mornings where he was still there were rare and so every minute was treasured. 
  "Hey" she whispered into his ear, waking him. He also smiled when he realised what had woken him up.
  "Morning" he replied in a murmur, snaking his arm round her waist.
  "Have I told you I loved you recently" she asked looking into his eyes.
  "Not since last night when we-" Piper's lips on his interrupted him. Not that he minded. She broke the kiss quickly to answer.
  "Well I do" she said before joining there lips again. 
Piper couldn't imagine her life without him. They had been together for just over a year now and she loved every minute of married life. 
 
  An hour later Piper made her first appearance downstairs. Deciding to wear her favorite pair of jeans and a simple black top she glided down the stairs and walked into the kitchen, finding her two sisters Paige and Phoebe already tucking into toast and large cups of coffee.
   "Somebody got some last night" Paige commented on Piper's large smile before handing Piper with one of the large mugs of coffee.
   "And this morning" Piper added, still smiling
   "Eww" Phoebe exclaimed causing all three to laugh.
  "So where is Leo Piper? You tire him out?" Paige asked 
   "As funny as that would be... no. He just got called away, he'll probably be away all day, which gives us plenty of time to have a girls only day. I'm thinking shopping, manicures and a Brad Pitt movie. 
What d'ya think?" Looking at her sisters hopefully.
   "Count me in" Paige answered 
   "I'm not sure, I've got work to do" Phoebe sighed when she saw Piper and Paige doing puppy dog eyes in a ploy to get her to say yes. "Oh alright! Lets do it, but Piper you are buying us lunch"
   "Deal" Piper replied, another smile on her face.
 
Another hour later, the three sisters were roaming the shopping streets of San Francisco. Already weighed down with bags from various shops they were heading towards a nearby café for lunch. 
   "So Paige, can I borrow that nice top tonight?" Phoebe asked as they had reached the café.
   "I only just bought it Phoebe; I wanna wear it tonight, anyway if you liked it so much, why didn't you buy one too?"
  "What's the point of having two when you can just borrow you're sisters?" She answered cheekily
They sat down at a table in the corner and ordered.
  "Hey, can you two look after P3 tonight, Leo's got the evening off and we wanna go out somewhere other than the club" Piper looked up when she got no answer.
What she saw alarmed her. Her sisters were frozen, in fact the whole café and probably beyond the café was frozen. Even if she could freeze that much, which she hadn't, she couldn't freeze her sisters. 
  "Okay what's going on?" she asked the frozen room.
   "Come with me and you'll find out" A voice told her and before she could do anything she found herself in darkness
 
 Phoebe and Paige unfroze, quickly realizing Piper was missing, Looking around to see if it was something other than paranormal they realised that it wasn't.
   "Where's Piper"
   "I don't know, we better get back to the manor and call Leo" They left hurriedly, the sooner they were home and with the book of shadows, the sooner they could find their older sister.
