A Birthday Like None Other

It was a beautiful bright Monday morning and Piper had the whole dining room full of breakfast.

"Oh Piper that looks great," said Prue walking into the dining room and sitting at the table.

"Hey it's not for you, or you two," said Piper spotting Phoebe and Cole in the doorway.

"Then who is it for?" asked Phoebe sitting down with Cole beside her.

"Leo," said Piper smiling.

"There is no way Leo is going to eat all that," said Prue pointing at the table.

"Yeah well, it's up to Leo if he wants you guys to have breakfast with us," said Piper heading into the kitchen.

"Why?" asked Prue and Phoebe at the same time.

"Because it's his birthday," said Piper walking back into the dining room.

"We didn't know it was Leo's birthday," said Phoebe looking at Cole and Prue.

"Well he doesn't like everyone to know," said Piper still bringing in breakfast things.

"You know you've made way to much food," said Cole looking at all the food on the table.

"So what's your point?" asked Piper laying the table.

"Hey what do you mean by he doesn't like everyone to know about his birthday we are practically family," said Phoebe.

"Well you know he died in 1942 and he's a little sensitive about his age," said Piper walking to the bottom of the stairs. She stopped and turned to look at all three of them sitting at the table.

"Look guys go into the kitchen and breakfast is on the table."

Cole, Phoebe and Prue stood up and walked into the kitchen, on the small kitchen table breakfast was all set up and ready to eat.

"Thanks Piper!" yelled Prue.

"Yeah it's great, thanks," yelled Phoebe.

Piper smiled and walked up the stairs she walked across the landing and opened her bedroom door. Leo sat up and smiled at Piper she walked over and sat beside him.

"Happy birthday," said Piper kissing Leo. Leo pulled Piper closer and they lay down on their bed. Their romantic moment was interrupted by Prue, Phoebe and Cole. Piper and Leo sat up.

"Have you heard of knocking?" asked Piper.

"Yeah sorry, but we wanted to say breakfast was great and happy birthday to Leo," said Phoebe.

"Yeah happy birthday," said Prue.

"Thanks," said Leo smiling.

"And now we are going," said Prue taking Phoebe's arm.

The three of them left and shut the door behind them.

"This is getting ridiculous," said Piper sitting with her legs crossed across her lap.

"What's ridiculous?" asked Leo sitting up beside her.

"The fact that we have no privacy in this house," said Piper looking at Leo with a look of anger and disappointment on her face.

"So what are you suggesting?" asked Leo.

"I'm saying that maybe we move out into our own place," said Piper standing up and heading over to her dresser.

"Are you sure? I mean the power of three not in the same house, don't you think that's risky?" asked Leo watching Piper.

"Well yeah, but Leo we're getting married and we're having a baby, we need a place of our own," said Piper sitting back down next to Leo.

"Well if it's what you want."

"Yeah it is, a room for us, a room for our baby and all the privacy in the world."

"So when do you wanna move out?" asked Leo hugging Piper.

"As soon as possible, if we don't do it now we're never gonna do it Leo," said Piper facing Leo.

"Ok so we'll look for places to move to," said Leo.

"I actually already found a place," said Piper showing Leo a book of the house.

"It's nice," said Leo looking through the pages.

"So what do you think?" asked Piper.

"I love it, it's perfect for us," said Leo smiling and kissing Piper on the head.

"Seer what do you see?" asked a deep voice.

"I see the middle sister, she is unhappy about where she is living," said the Seer.

"Is she the one having the baby that we want?" asked the voice again.

"Yes it is and I have the perfect plan," said the Seer with a grin appearing across her face.

"So what's this plan Seer?"

"Well she'll tell her sisters that she wants to move out, they'll get into and argument and hopefully with my help she'll use her powers against her sisters, then I'll be there to help her deal with what she has done."

"And what are you going to do after?" asked the voice.

"Bring her to our side, with a Charmed One on our side we would be unstoppable, not only that, with the child on our side no one would try and take over."

"I like that plan, do it." With that the voice that was heard disappeared from the Seer's lair.

At the Manor Prue, Phoebe and Cole were tidying up all their breakfast things.

"Don't worry about doing that guys, I'll do it as soon as me and Leo finish," said Piper walking down the stairs behind Leo.

"Piper, Prue pointed out to us that we seem to take you for granted, which is really unfair, I mean what if you go away on holiday you know we'll have to look after ourselves," said Phoebe washing up her plate.

"Well talking about me not being here, Leo and I were talking and well you know we're getting married and having a baby and I don't think they'll be enough room for us all here, so we're going to look at a place today," said Piper sitting down at the dining room table.

"What!" yelled Prue throwing her hand to the side, all the food shot across the table at Piper. Then in blue and white sparkling lights Piper orbed out just as the food flew right against the wall, when Piper orbed back in she was standing up with her hands on her hips.

"What are you doing?" yelled Piper staring at her sister.

"I'm sorry Piper our powers are linked to our emotions you know that, but come on moving out of the Manor," said Prue sitting down.

"Yeah Piper no one's moved out of the Manor before," said Phoebe joining Prue.

"I know it's a lot to take in but this is what Leo and I have decided and even if you're not ok with it we're still going to move out," said Piper sitting back down.

"Cole maybe we should leave the girls alone," said Leo pointing to the living room.

"Yeah ok." Cole and Leo both walked into the living room and sat on the sofa, they switched on the T.V and watched the football.

Back in the kitchen the girls were not shouting at each other but by the tone in their voices you could tell they were angry.

"Piper please don't move out, is it because we get you to do everything because if it is we can do things ourselves," said Phoebe starting to cry.

"No Phoebe it's not because of that," said Piper holding her sisters hand.

"Then what is it?" asked Prue very calm.

"Just the fact that there won't be enough room for all of us," said Piper still holding Phoebe's hand but looking at Prue.

"She's lying to you, she's fed up with all the things you get her to do, she can't accept the fact that you're successful in your career and wants you to spend more time at home," said the Seer in Prue's mind so only she could hear.

"You know what Piper I think you're lying!" yelled Prue standing up.

"No Prue I'm not lying," said Piper staring at her sister.

"No you just can't accept the fact that I'm successful in my job and you just get stuck with the club and the jobs at home!"

"Prue that's not fair I love my club and I'm happy for your success, oh and I don't mind doing the jobs that need to be done at home," said Piper still staring at her sister.

"Phoebe look at your sisters they've never really cared about you, I mean they always resented the fact that they had to raise you and now the only sister who really understands you is leaving," said the Seer this time in Phoebe's mind.

"Piper this is not fair you're the only one who understands me," said Phoebe.

"Phoebe this isn't about you," said Prue looking at her.

"That's right no one cares about the youngest Halliwell poor Piper and Prue had to sacrifice their childhood to raise poor little Phoebe, I know you've always hated that."

"Phoebe that's not true, sure we did have to raise you but that was a long time ago," said Piper.

There she was again mediating between her very different sisters.

"Piper if you don't leave now this is how your life will be forever, your sisters arguing and you in the middle, it's time you did something about it," said the Seer.

"I've had enough!" yelled Piper throwing her hands in the air, the chandelier above Prue's head blew up and fell down. Prue looked up and waved her hand just as the chandelier came towards her it flew towards Phoebe at knee height, Phoebe levitated into the air and the chandelier smashed against the wall. Phoebe landed on her feet and the three of them stood staring at each other.

Leo and Cole came rushing into the dining room.

"What the hell happened?" asked Leo.

"We had a little fight," said Piper looking at Leo.

"Well it must have been a big fight not a little one because the Elders felt it and they're not happy," said Leo walking over to Piper, "look I gotta go find out what they want."

Leo kissed Piper on the head and orbed out in blue and white sparkling lights. Cole was standing next to Phoebe and all three girls had looks on their faces that could kill. Just then a demon appeared and threw an energy ball at Cole, he flew across the room and landed back in the living room, Phoebe ran over to him and lifted his head onto her lap.

"Piper, this is all part of your sisters plan to get you to stay, they need you. Work with the demon show them that you don't need them," said the Seer with a look of delight on her face.

Prue was standing by a dining room chair throwing her hands sending the demon flying. Piper faced her big sister and blew up the chair, which she was standing by, Prue was thrown back into the kitchen.

"Piper what are you doing?" yelled Phoebe rushing over to Prue.

Just as Phoebe rushed past another dining room chair Piper blew it up, Phoebe flew across the room and landed by the glass doors that lead to the conservatory. Cole was up by this time, he walked over and stood in front of Piper.

"Piper who's telling you to hurt your sisters?" asked Cole.

"None of your business," said Piper throwing her hands in the air, Cole froze mid sentence.

Piper looked at the damage she had caused and broke down into tears, Prue and Phoebe were both unconscious and Cole was frozen. The demon walked up to Piper and held out his hand.

"Come on, come with me to where you belong."

Piper took hold of the demon's hand and shimmered out.

Upstairs in the attic the Book of Shadows was on its stand but there was something different about it, the Triquetra had split into three different sections.

"Seer what is happening?" asked the Source.

"She's coming."

"Good," said the Source flaming out.

The demon took Piper to the Seer's lair.

"Piper welcome to my humble home," said the Seer.

Piper turned to face the demon who had shimmered her there, she threw her hands at him and blew him up.

"What was that for?" asked the Seer.

"That was for hurting my sisters only I can do that," said Piper with a look of hatred in her eyes.

"I knew you'd be perfect," said the Seer, "here drink this." Thee Seer handed Piper a glass.

"What is it?"

"It's a tonic that will help you and your baby join our team."

Piper took the glass and drank the tonic. She looked at the Seer and smiled.

"It was you who manipulated me and my sisters to get into that fight, through our emotions."

"Yes I'm sorry it was me, I had no other choice," said the Seer.

"It was inspiring and very well thought out."

"Well I'm the Seer I foresaw this coming."

"So Seer what happens next?" asked Piper moving closer to her, "do I kill you and take your job?"

"No you have your baby and help the Source destroy all that's good in the world, starting with your sisters."

At the Manor Cole had unfroze and was helping Phoebe and Prue up.

"Leo" There was no way that was Piper," said Prue, "Leo!"

"I know I mean she actually blew up our house and she froze Cole, she's never done that intentionally before," said Phoebe hugging Cole.

All three of them looked at the ceiling.

"Leo!"

Leo orbed in, in blue and white sparkling lights.

"What's up?"

"Look at what your fiancée did to our house," said Prue.

"Well where is she I'll have a word with her," said Leo looking around.

"She shimmered out with the demon that attacked us," said Cole.

"She what?"

"Yeah but she managed to knock me and Prue out oh and then freeze Cole," said Phoebe.

"What did the Elders want?" said Prue, "cause maybe if you'd have been here you could have stopped her."

"Look Prue I'm sorry but it's really important what the Elders told me and I need to tell you," said Leo looking at the three of them.

"Tell us Leo, what is it?" asked Phoebe.

"Try and levitate."

Phoebe looked at Leo puzzled but went to levitate. Cole and Prue looked at Phoebe she lifted her arms but still she didn't levitate.

"Where are my powers?" said Phoebe panicking.

Prue waved her hand at one of the dining room chairs, she even squinted her eyes, which she hadn't needed to do since she learnt to control her power through her hands.

"Leo what is going on?" asked Prue.

"Well your bond as sisters is what makes the power of three so strong but you guys used your powers on each other this caused the bond to break, which resulted in losing your powers. Now you need to remake that bond all of you," said Leo doing his Whitelighter job.

"I don't know what made us this angry because I know it's a big step you guys moving out but we are truly happy for you guys," said Prue.

"Yeah and in my head someone or something was telling me to shout all these things to you and Piper but I didn't mean them," said Phoebe.

"I know it was the same for me someone or something was in my head, which means it was in Piper's too."

"What was in Piper's too?" asked Piper using her unborn child's powers and orbing in.

"Piper, we're so glad you're home," said Phoebe rushing towards her.

"Don't get too excited Phoebe I'm not coming home, I'm just here to tell you that the Charmed Ones are dead."

"What? Piper you know we are defenceless without our powers," said Prue.

"Well I'm not that defenceless."

Piper threw out her hand and a long stream of fire flew at Prue. Prue waved her hand but the fire kept coming towards her.

"Prue, Phoebe I'm sorry I didn't mean what I said," called Piper in a very distressed voice.

"I'm sorry too," said Prue and Phoebe.

Prue waved her hand and the stream of fire diverted and shattered the window into little pieces.

"Damn it!" yelled Piper orbing out.

Piper orbed into the Seer lair.

"What happened Piper?" asked the Seer looking at her.

"The goodness inside me reached out to my sisters they now have their powers back."

"That's ok, drink this it will help." The Seer gave Piper the glass of tonic and she drank it with one gulp the grin across the Seer's face was bigger than usual.

Back at the Manor Phoebe, Prue, Cole and Leo were all tidying up after recent events.

"Leo how did I get my powers back?" asked Prue

"Well you both should have your powers back because you remade your bond as sisters," said Leo.

"We may have remade our bond but that didn't bring Piper back," said Phoebe running out of the dining room and up the stairs.

"Phoebe!" called Prue watching her sister.

Phoebe lay on her bed and was crying, she'd always been close to Piper and now she felt as though she had lost her to the worst thing ever, evil.
