A/N- I am still working on my other story, Family Reunion, so this one might take a little longer to finish. THe format is kind of different... but you'll find that out in the next chapter. Please Read and Review! Thanks...

Chapter One- Up all night

Piper threw down her work in frustration, tired and run-down. She had been up all night, trying desperately to find a band to perform at P3. Lately ratings had been declining, as a new club down the street took rise. The new club, Raige, seemed to be attracting all of Piper's regular customers. She had even lost a few of her employees.

Now she had just found out that Raige was hosting a Battle of the Bands, and it seemed that no one hadn't been invited. Consequently, no bands were willing to play at P3. Piper didn't know why she was trying. It wasn't like anyone was going to be there to listen to a band, even if she could book one. Piper sighed and looked over at the clock. The neon red numbers were flashing Six O'clock. And looking out the window Piper saw that indeed it was. The sun was just beginning to rise.

Piper figured she better start getting breakfast ready for her sisters. Phoebe had recently taken to waking up as early as she could and getting to work fast, so she could be done early to hang out with her new boyfriend, Calum N. Drake. Piper thought that she was rushing head long into her relationship, but Phoebe kept insisting that if she was going to have children, then she might as well get started.

Paige, on the other hand, always rose early, though she liked to lounge around the house or lay in bed for hours before actually getting started with the day. She too had a new boyfriend, Patroclus Peter Parker. Paige was convinced that it was a sign, that he had the power of three P's in his name, and that he must be a gift from god to reward her for her service to the greater good. Piper thought that he was either really lucky, or a demon.

Then again, Piper thought everyone was a demon these days, she trusted no one, questioned everyone, and it was beginning to annoy her sister. She would burst into the living room while they were with their boy friends and start battering the boys with questions about there past, like a panic-stricken mother.

Piper got up from her seat. She would have to change, so her sisters wouldn't know she had been up all night.

Quickly Piper went upstairs and changed into her pajamas. She washed her face and tried to look refreshed, but she was lying, there was no way she'd be able to pull this off. She hurried back downstairs and put the coffee maker on. She put some toast in the toaster for herself, made eggs and bacon for Paige, and for Phoebe some biscuits to go with her coffee. She straightened up everything in the kitchen and then once made sure she was looking okay.

As she started to pour the coffee, Phoebe walked in. She was wearing trendy clothes that Piper only wished she could wear. Phoebe was so skinny and perfect it wasn't even funny. Piper looked up and gave her a big smile, hoping it was convincing.

"Hi! Did you sleep well?"

"Up all night?" Phoebe raised her eyebrows at her older sister, before grabbing the now full cup.

"You were? Oh, I'm sorry to hear that." Piper looked back down, still smiling, as she set the biscuit down.

"No, Piper, you were! Stop kidding yourself, because you're not fooling me. You are working way too hard." Phoebe sat down in her usual spot and crossed her legs.

Piper dropped her act, and her smile faded from her face. She looked over at Phoebe

"What gave me away, the dark circles and dropping eyelids of the slurred speech?"

"Neither, you look great."

"Then why the hell did you say I've been up all night? I thought you said you wouldn't use your empathic powers on me. Phoebe you..."

"You left your work on the table," Phoebe interrupted.

"Oh" Piper went into the dining room to start picking up before Paige arrived. However, just as she started to gather her things Paige started to descend the stairs. Hurriedly Piper began putting the things back on the table. She quickly set them down, and then started to sit down on a chair, as if she were just sitting down to work.

"Up all night?" Paige asked as Piper picked up a pencil.

Piper did not try to convince Paige otherwise. She looked at her raised eyebrows and pursed lips.

"Dammit Paige, how'd you know?"

"Dark circles, drooping eyelids, slurred speech."

Paige walked past Piper into the kitchen. Piper rolled her eyes and followed, shaking her head.

"You know, you two can really be a pair of pain in the..."

"What were you working on?" Paige intervened before Piper could complete her sentence.

"Trying to compete against Raige."

"Oh." Paige turned around and stuffed an egg into her mouth. She swallowed it down. "Thanks, that was good. I'll be upstairs if you need me."

"What? You just got here. What are you going to do?"

"I need to get some research done."

"On what?"

"Don't worry about it." Paige turned on her heal and exited the room.

"What's the matter with her?" Piper asked

"Nothing. What's the matter with you?" Phoebe countered.

"Nothing. What's the matter with you?"

"Piper, you really need to slow down. You've been working too hard and your stressing yourself out. Put it on ice!"

"Thank you, I really needed that sisterly support."

"You're not super-woman Piper. You can't do everything."

"Prue could." There was an awkward silence in which Piper stared at the ground and Phoebe stared at Piper.

"I'm here to support you Piper, and if you need help, just call me, but if you don't tell me what's going on, I don't know what to do about it."

"Alright, thanks Pheebs. I'm heading down the club, have any plans?"

"No, I don't have work today, but Calum is out of town for the week."

"Alright, I'm off." Piper marched out of the kitchen and dropped her papers on the floor, bumping accidentally into the table. She looked down at the mess in renewed frustration. Suddenly a spark lit her eye, and she smiled.

"Phoebe!"
