"Jal, your plan is hardly working" Raven giggled. "All their doing is trying to kill each other."
"I've heard the first step in marriage counseling is to get the problems out in the open."
Raven giggled. "All the Dr Phil shows I have ever watched says shouting is not a solution. And they're not married anymore."
"It's a start." Jal said. "They'll eventually bore at the yelling part."
"Eventually don't seem too soon. They'll kill each other first."

Piper's mouth was gaping out when she saw the figure standing in front of her. She had used the summoning spell thinking Grams or Mom could give her some advice but couldn't believe it when she saw her sister there. Prue was corporeal.
"Don't just stand there! Give your big sis a hug!" Prue said smiling. Piper rushed forward and held her sister the longest hug.
Prue even gave Paige a quick hug. "Here's the baby sister I've heard so much about," she said winking. "I hear I have to save my other baby sister."
"All we have to do is find her", Leo said, "We should be able to orb there easily."
As Prue picked up a pen and started scribbling a spell Piper said "I still can't believe your actually here. Not even all ghostly."
"There!" Prue exclaimed. "God, I've missed doing this."
As they recited the spell and the two Whitelighters, Leo and Paige, suddenly knew where they had to go.

Cole was relieved they were no longer shouting at each other because he was getting a migraine. She was still carrying on though, and he was plain sick of it. Sick of her whining.
"You have no idea how bad my life is right now. And it is all your fault," Phoebe rambled.
"Right," he muttered. "Every single one of your problems is my fault."
"They are!" she pouted. Phoebe winced as she realized how childish she sounded. He could always reduce her to nothing. Every single time.
"You are a control freak."
"Excuse me?" Phoebe sharply asked. "What did you say?"
"Control freak. Move Heaven and Earth for things to be predictable and when something goes even the slightest thing goes wrong, point the finger at someone else."
Cole sighed. Pointless. Why was he even arguing with her? She would never see – or refused to see – anything else except what she conned herself to believe. What frustrated Cole more then that was why he even cared what she thought. He was past this. He had to be past her.
"Do you get off at making my life crap?" Phoebe snapped.
He rolled his eyes. He was too tired to fight.
"You killed my nephew." He rolled his eyes again. "You distraught my sister." Cole avoided her eyes as she continued. "You haunt me every day." She paused and finished off her spiel "I hate you."
"So mature. A speech of a five year old!" he got up and cornered her. "You can take it that I'm not moaning in the basement anymore begging for you to take me back."
His face was centimeters away from hers.
"I would never take you back," she told him. Secretly she wished he wouldn't do this. She squirmed away from him. It was too much like every time he would lean down and kiss her. She half wished he would. No. I will not fall back in love with the evil bastard who killed my nephew.
"Are you scared, Phoebe?"
"Are you suicidal?"
"Only when you're around, darling."
He stared at her and she stared at him.
He yelped and fell to the ground.
Phoebe looked at the smoke from his back and saw Paige, Piper and Leo. Paige threw another potion and Piper finally threw the last. Cole grunted as he got up. His eyes flashed with anger.
"Come on, honey" Piper urged signaling at Phoebe to come to her. "Let's get out of here."
Phoebe rushed to her sisters. He cried out as he threw an energy ball, somehow mad that they were taking her away. He wanted to make Phoebe more afraid. She had to pay for what she did to him.
He thought the energy ball would fail as he saw most of the blue light disappear. A figure was knocked out of the orb and fell to the ground.
Piper looked up and Cole nearly fell sorry for her. She looked as scared as a trapped rabbit. He tried to shimmer and couldn't. Why the hell could they orb out? Why couldn't he shimmer? Who was tampering with his powers?
He threw two energy balls at the wall as hard as he could. The ground shook.
Piper whimpered some more.
