"Phoebe! Come on wake up!" Paige yelled excitedly as she leapt up onto her sisters bed.

Phoebe groggily sat up and looked at the alarm clock beside her bed. It was 7:00 am. "Paige!" Phoebe whined, "It's way too early."

"Yeah but come on Phoebe it's Christmas!" Paige jumped one last time and landed next to Phoebe. "Where were you last night? You missed out on the funniest Christmas eve ever! Me and Glen made up and him and Kyle joined me and Dad for a cookie feast!"

Phoebe rolled back over facing away from Paige, debating on weather or not she should tell her sister about the night before.

"And then after we ate all the cookies, Dad started telling us about the actual Santa Clause who went around giving children…"

"Paige!" Phoebe interrupted her, "I need you to swear that you will not tell a single soul about what I'm gonna tell you."

"Oh, but Pheebs you know what I'm like about keeping secrets." Paige sat up and leaned against the wall.

"Paige, I have to tell someone. Last night me and Cole…. You know." Phoebe couldn't help but let a big grin find itself across her face.

Paige's mouth dropped open, "What! But….but don't you think you're a bit young? Piper hasn't even…"

"Yeah but that's Piper. Look Paige it just seemed like the perfect time. We were in his car under the stars, and he told me he loved me then…"

Paige let out a small disgusted shriek then jumped up. "I don't need to hear this!" She paused becoming even more disgusted, "In his car? EW!"

Phoebe threw her pillow at her little sister then laughed. "I bet you anything you won't be saying it's gross in a few years."

She then grabbed Paige's arm and pulled her out the room. "Come on lets go wake up the others!"

Downstairs the girls had started opening their presents. Paige seemed to have the most this year because of what Sam had brought her but Sam did bring the others presents too.

Piper who had been in a gloomy mood picked up one present and read aloud, "From Leo."

"Piper what's wrong?" Prue asked concerned. She knew when something was up with Piper.

"The Elders won't let me and Leo be together." Piper said quietly. She then got up and ran out of the room.

Prue got up and followed her while Paige and Phoebe sent each other a look then to got up to follow. As they past the phone it started to ring and Paige picked it up.

"Hello?"

"oh Hello, Paige." It was Victor Bennett, Piper, Prue and Phoebe's dad. "Can I speak to one of my daughters?"

Paige handed Phoebe the phone and then went off to see Piper.

"Dad?" Phoebe asked confused. He hardly ever phoned. Something had to be up.

In the underworld Rodriguez and Tempus had formulated a plan but Rodriguez was feeling extremely doubtful. "You said it yourself Tempus, I'm just a warlock, how can I defeat the charmed ones?"

Tempus shook his head. "Trust me, all this will work out fine. Now are you ready?"

"There's nothing to talk about ok? I just wanna get on with today!" Piper told Prue and Paige as they followed her down the stairs. "I don't wanna ruin Christmas!"

"Hey Prue, Piper! Dad wants to talk to you two!" Phoebe told them as she held out the phone to Prue.

Prue raised an eyebrow and looked down at the phone. "I've got nothing to say to him."

Piper took the phone and Prue began to go upstairs.

"Prue where ya going?" Paige asked quietly. "you haven't opened up my present yet."

Prue sighed, "I'll open it later Paigey."

"MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Paige almost jumped out of her skin when Kyle and Glen burst through the front door. When she realised it was them a huge grin spread across her face and she shouted it back. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

"Will you three stop shouting!" Phoebe whined as she came into the room. "Your giving me a banging headache!"

"Oh come on Pheebs get into the Christmas spirit!" Glen said handing her a card.

Phoebe rolled her eyes, "When are you three gonna learn, that all Christmas is about, is retailers robbing you of all the money you own, just so you can buy a load of junk that no ones ever gonna use!"

"Scrooge." Kyle muttered.

After Piper said goodbye to Victor, she decided to start on the turkey. It would take her mind off Leo, but then she saw the present from Leo.

She picked it up and was about to open it when Rodriguez appeared right in front of her.

He threw his arm up and sent a ball of electricity flying at her. Piper went flying into the Christmas tree.

"Piper!" Phoebe and Paige ran in followed by Kyle and Glen.

Rodriguez sent another electric ball at them but Paige orbed out of it's path taking Phoebe with her. The ball hit Kyle in the stomach and sent him flying.

Paige and Phoebe orbed back in just as Rodriguez sent one more electric ball their way. But it stopped mid-way and went flying back to Rodriguez.

The two sisters looked up and saw Prue running into the room. "Piper?"

Paige, Phoebe and Prue knelt by Piper's side taking her wrist. Prue's face fell and tear began to form in her eyes.

"Prue…" Phoebe began her heart racing, Piper had to be ok.

"She…She's dead." Prue tears streaming down her face.

"PAIGE!"

Paige turned around, the shock of what had just happened still beating through her, to see a rather distressed Glen knelt by a still Kyle.

"Paige I think he's dead!"
