Declaimer: I don't own Charmed.

Chapter Three

Just leave us alone

"Every one alright down here?" Chris asked coming back into the kitchen. "One of you needs to go up stairs and talk to Leo. His having none of what I'm saying to him. You need to convince him we're going to find Piper and bring her home."

"Well Chris," Phoebe said. "As much as I hate to shatter your illusion. Which of course I love to do. I've known Piper all my life. She doesn't want to be found, if she did she would have got in contact with us by now, and so she's going to make sure we can't find her. Because, news flash, she does not want to be found."

"Look at your self Phoebe." Chris said. "Just look at your self for a second. This isn't you. Because one guy dumped you, your life shouldn't change like this. You shouldn't give up on your sister. She wouldn't want you to."

"How do you know that? You do not know her! You do not know Piper! And you do not know me! I do! I know her! I know Piper! I know me!" Phoebe screamed. "And I know where ever Piper is she has to be happy or she wouldn't stay there. She's away from you! And at least she's away from your screwed up interference! That means she and my nephew are safe. Away from you!"

"It's for your own good. I've seen things you don't know about."

"God! Here we go again! The whole I'm a super hero from the future complex. Get the hell over your self. You are not any thing special. There is absolutely nothing even remotely special or important about your existence. I can't actually see any sort of point to it apart from making our lives a living hell! I have been to hell and I think I'd prefer to live there than in the same universe as you! Being Queen of the under world was better than this!"

"Well if you can't see what's wrong with your life. Look at Paige." He gestured dramatically at Paige's sleeping form, slumped at the kitchen table. "Look at her life."

"What's wrong with her life? The fact that she's happy? The fact that she has a life? That she's in a loving relationship? Am I getting hot yet?"

"No."

"So what is it then? You tell me what exactly is wrong with her life and why exactly she needs to change. She's my little sister. She's happy I'm cool with that. I want her to be happy. Unlike you. You take the greatest a pleasure than I've ever seen any demon take, in watching people's lives be destroyed. Every thing that makes the happy taken away from them. Their hopes, plans, dreams shattered right before their eyes. You love to see that. It makes you feel good about your pitiful existence. Are you sure your not half demon, not witch? Because you are defiantly a hundred percent evil."

"Phoebe the problem I have with Paige's life is that she's not really living it."

"Explain. Now."

"She orbs the all over creation all day. Why do you think that is? What is she running from?"

"You!" Phoebe screamed at the top of her voice as loud as she could. "She orbs all day so she doesn't have to see you ugly mug. I wish I could. Any thing to get away from you! If you want to talk about not living life I think you need to look a little closer to home. Like in the mirror."

"Only if you're standing in front of it."

"Yhea, forcing you to look at the hideous truth which is you face. I would personally feel sorry for the poor mirror it would probably shatter."

"This is stupid Phoebe. We shouldn't be arguing like this. Trying to score cheep little points off of each other. We should be trying to find your sister. We should be trying to find your sister by working together. We should be working together to find your sister."

"Oh no, we shouldn't. You shouldn't be using the word we. You should be orbbing your butt the hell outa my sight. You should be leaving us via orb to go screw up some buddy else's life. And we, me and Paige and Leo, our brother-in-law, should never hear from or of you again and you should leave Piper alone to live her own life. Away from you!" Phoebe was so mad at him. "Now if you could just leave us all alone I won't have to get out Piper's power replicating potions and vanquish your sorry butt here and now, on the very spot where you are standing."
