"What do you mean 'where's Shea'" Piper asked as she looked frantically around the room.

"She's not here!" Stock shouted jumping up and spinning in circles. Paige stood up and grabbed his arm, stopping him in mid-spin.

"Stock! It's going to be okay." Paige said as she grabbed her car keys.

"What am I doing?" Paige asked herself out loud.

Piper and Phoebe looked at her. "I can orb." She replied, answering her own question.

Finally, Piper spoke up. "Paige. What are you talking about?" She asked, concerned for her sister.

"I can orb to Shea. We all can." Paige said.

"Oh, right." Piper said. She reached for Leo to orb her there, but instead, she found nothing but air. She felt a hand on her shoulder, and saw Cole. He had a reassuring smile on his face.

"I've got you." He said. Piper smiled. Phoebe grabbed Chris's hand and Stock grabbed Paige around the waist. Shane nodded. Piper turned to look at Ian.

"You can go with Shane." Piper told him.

"I'll wait here in case she shows up again." Ian said as he walked towards the front door. He stopped for a minute.

"What's wrong?" Piper asked. Ian shook his head and shut the door.

"It was nothing." He said.

"Alright guys." Paige said. "The best bet is to follow her orb trail. She might block us out, and so we can't go to her directly. Is that cool?" Everyone nodded. "Alright. Let's go."

Ian watched as Piper shimmered/orbed with Cole, Phoebe orbed with Chris, Paige left with stock and Shane shimmered out solitary. After he gave them enough time, Ian walked outside.

Sitting on the stairs, he spoke up. "Hey."

Shea looked over at him.

"Hey." She said in response.

"What happened? I thought you were running away?" Ian asked, slight amusement in his voice.

"I was going to, but then I realized I lack a certain step." She replied.

"Which is…?" Ian prompted.

"I have nowhere to go." Shea said.

Ian said nothing; instead he pulled Shea into a hug. Shea sniffled and folded into his arms. He felt her shifting and realized she must be freezing.

"You cold?" Ian asked.

Shea said nothing, but nodded.

"Let's go inside." Ian said as he helped Shea stand up. She reached down to grab her suitcase, but Ian took it from her and opened the door for her.

"So, how long do you think it will take them to get back here?" Ian asked.

Shea smiled. "A few hours." She replied laughing.

A bath, dinner and five hours later Piper, Cole, Stock, Paige, Phoebe, Chris, and Leo appeared in the manor in various forms. Without even registering Shea and Ian, who were curled up on the couch, Shea wrapped in Ian's embrace; Paige plopped down on the armchair.

"It was useless, I can't find her anywhere." Paige said

"Um Paige." Phoebe tried to say, but Paige didn't hear her.

"I mean, how far can a 16 year old get." Paige continued.

"Paige?" Phoebe said once again.

"Unless she cloaked her magic, which is really hard." Paige said.

"Paige!" Phoebe yelled, although quietly, as not to disturb the two kids.

What?" Paige asked, snapping out of her trance.

Phoebe jerked her head in the direction of Shea and Ian. Ian's eyelids fluttered and he opened them, now aware of everyone in the living room.

"Hey honey." Piper said, reaching down to pat Ian's hair.

"Hi mom." Ian said without thinking.

Piper looked at him, bewildered. Ian saw the look and immediately regretted he said it.

"Is that alright that I call you that?" Ian asked, afraid that Piper would say no.

Piper smiled, tears forming in her eyes. "Of course that's alright sweetie." Piper said squeezing Ian's free hand.

"Well, she's been asleep for the past couple hours. We had Macaroni and Cheese for dinner, but we cleaned up." Ian explained as he slowly removed himself from under Shea. She muttered something and then became silent.

"We'll let her sleep here tonight." Piper said.

"Hey Ian?" Phoebe asked. Ian turned to face her.

"What's up?" Ian asked as he stifled a yawn.

"Why'd she come back?" Phoebe asked for everyone.

"She said she had nowhere to go. Said that she had a family here, and that's where home is." Ian said sleepily as he climbed the stairs to the attic.

Stock and Paige stood in front of Shea, looking down on her.

"Let's go." Paige said. Stock nodded and kissed Shea on the forehead.
