"Piper!" Phoebe screamed desperately from the bottom of the Halliwell stairs. "Come on already! Hurry up! We're gonna be late!"

"Phebes gimme a minute!" Piper yelled.

"You've been saying that for twenty minutes already! What the hell are you doing up there? Cooking a turkey!"

"Ha, ha." Piper said sarcastically. She appeared at the top of the stairs putting in a gold hoop earring. "Alright, alright... I'm coming." Piper glanced at her watch. "Oh, come on! We're not even late! It's only 8:10!"

"Well if we want to be there at 8:30 we should get going." Paige said, walking into the foyer.

"I thought you were just going to orb us there." Piper said.

"So did I." Paige replied, looking at her hands. "I'm drained."

"What do you mean?" Phoebe asked.

"No powers." Paige frowned.

"Uh oh." Piper said with a squeak. "Leooo?" She called into the air. All three sisters looked around. "Leo?" She asked again. No response. Suddenly they heard pounding footsteps outside. Leo flew into the house, out of breath. "Leo! What happened to you?"

"I was able to hear you calling me, but I couldn't orb! It didn't work!" Leo said, still panting.

"Same thing's happening to Paige." Phoebe said. "But Piper and I still have our powers." She said, levitating.

"Great. What does this stupid power-sucker have against Whitelighters?" Paige asked. "Hey, stupid!" She called into the air. "I'm only part Whitelighter! I'm still half witch y'know! You can give me my powers now!" Paige waited silently for a response. "Helloooooo!" She yelled at the ceiling. Phoebe rolled her eyes.

"Whatever. We're going to be late for Darryl. We'll figure out the power surge when we get back." Phoebe said, pulling on her fitted leather jacket.

"I wanna orb." Paige muttered, frowning.

"Uch, just come on!" Piper said, grabbing her by the arm.

"I guess I'll just stay--" SLAM! "--here..." Leo said to the door.
