That afternoon Piper was asleep on the couch with a book on her slightly rounded stomach after reading for ages after the audition. Phoebe opened the door after a long day at work and just before she hollered out to Piper she saw her sister lying asleep on the couch. She put her stuff down and went over to her sister, she put a bookmark in the book resting on her sisters stomach and found a blanket and covered her sister with it. She kissed her sister lightly on the forehead and sat on one of the other couches and watched her sister sleep, she would ask about her day and the audition later. Paige wasn't due home for another 20 minutes because it took her longer to get home so she just sat there.
Paige arrived 20 minutes later and sat next to Phoebe on the couch, they didn't speak because they didn't want to wake Piper so they just sat there thinking until Piper awoke half an hour later.
"Hey sleepy head how are you?" Phoebe asked as Piper sat up
"Better now, whoa, I have been asleep for ages and I have 1 hour to get to the club"
Piper said rubbing her eyes and stretching
"So you found someone, you only go to the club at 7 if there is a sound check" Paige said
"Yep she is amazing, come along" Piper said
"Of course" said Phoebe and Paige together, they all got changed and went to meet Delta and her band at the club but when they go there, there was only Delta and 1 other man, someone who looked like a manager.
"Delta Goodrem!" Paige wailed as she ran over to shake Delta's hand.
"You know who she is?" Phoebe whispered to Paige when she had returned
"Sure, she is Australian and touring here" Paige replied simply
"Well that was my sister Paige and this is my sister Phoebe," said Piper introducing her sisters.
"Hello" said Delta
"You two obviously know Delta"
"Yep" Said Paige "She is amazing, I heard about her tour on the Internet
"Let's get inside then shall we?" Said Piper opening the door to the club and they all filed in
"Piper this is my manager, Steve, Steve this is Piper the owner of this club" said Delta introducing the man
"Hello Ms.?" Steve asked
"Halliwell, but please call me Piper" Piper said
"Gladly" Steve said, he was about Piper's age but when he held his hand out to kiss hers she made a point of showing him she was married and he looked rather disappointed.
"I don't really need to set up much, all I need is the Piano and a microphone" Delta said
"Paige, can you help out with the microphone? You know where they are," Piper asked and Paige nodded her head and went off with Delta to set up. Instantly the manager got onto Piper and started talking about music and what to put on that night.
Phoebe sat down on one of the bar stools and watched Paige and Delta set up on the stage. When everything was set up on stage and Piper had finished talking to Steve he went over to Delta to talk to her. They finished and Delta asked
"Can I do one song for a practice, maybe one that you haven't heard Piper," Delta asked
"Ok then how about Not me, Not I?" Piper said and Delta sang while Paige played with the sound so that it was loud enough to be herd over a crowd.
"The sound is all good" Said Paige
"You are really good" Said Phoebe
"Thank you" Said Delta Politely. That night the club was packed and they absolutely loved Delta. At the end of the night Piper went up on stage to do her regular debriefing and told them that Delta would be there for about 3 weeks. Everyone left happy except one man who hid when everyone left.
"Phoebe, Paige, go home I can clean up the place alone" Piper said
"No Piper" said Phoebe, "it has been a huge day and night for you, I will help, Paige has been on sound but I have done nothing" Paige was asleep at one of the tables so Phoebe and Piper decided to leave her there while they cleaned up.
"Need a hand Delta?" Piper asked
"Just with the microphone, where does it go?"
"I can do it for you" Piper said and she walked up to the stage and packed away the microphone. When she was in the room putting away the microphone the man followed behind her and in one hand he summoned a fireball. Piper turned around and screamed.
"Shut up witch," said the demon grabbing her from behind and around the stomach and holding the fireball in front of her face
"Piper?" called Phoebe worriedly
"Don't answer, witch" the demon said and she nodded slowly not taking her eyes off the fireball.
