Thanks for all my reviews, and the offers to beta it, decided just to upload!

Thomas: "Shhh" he said holding a finger up to Peytons mouth as she giggled.

Peyton: "Sorry" she whispered, a big grin still on her face.

A creak was heard outside in the hallway causing both sets of eyes to dart towards the door. The door handle turned slowly and in walked a bleary eyed Jana.

Jana: "Peyton what are you doing here, its after midnight! Does your Mum know your here?" she said squinting her eyes as they adjusted to the light.

Peyton: "Sorry, did i wake you? And no she kinda doesnt...aw crap"

Peytons astral form took place back in her body, which was lying in bed as if she was sleeping. Her cell phone rang two minutes afterwards.

Peyton: "Hello" she whispered.

Thomas: "My mum is so pissed by the way" he laughed.

Peyton: "Oopsies, you get in trouble?"

Thomas: "Yeah shes not happy, i have a sneaky suspicion she may call your Mum!"

Peyton: "Oh god, i really hope she doesnt"

Just as she finished that sentance she could hear the downstairs phone ringing.

Peyton: "Crap i think thats her!"

Thomas: "Is she still up?"

Peyton: "Yeah they all are, wait, im trying to listen, ok, yep im definately in trouble, the phones just been put down, and footsteps coming up the stairs, i gotta go, love you!" she said hurriedly as she hung up.

Thomas: "Love y.." he stopped short when he heard that she had cut him off.

Peyton quickly turned over with her face away from the door and pulled her duvet up tight to her neck. The door opened and she could feel someone standing watching her.

Prue: "You are aware i know your not sleeping young lady!"

Peyton turned round slowly and she couldnt resist a cheeky grin at her mother.

Peyton: "Jana called did she?" she laughed nervously.

Prue: "I dont know what your smiling at, unless being grounded is something to grin about. Ive told you before and i wont tell you again, next time ill bind your powers"

Peyton: "You wouldnt" she said uncertainly.

Prue: "Try me" she said with a warning tone.

Peyton sighed: "Ok, how long am i grounded for this time?" she rolled her eyes.

Prue: "The weekend"

Peyton: "The whole weekend! Its Friday! I stayed in tonight because i was going out tomorrow!"

Prue grinned: "Shouldve thought about that before you used your powers for personal gain. Night"

She turned and walked out the room as Peyton lay angrily, annoyed at her Mum and annoyed at herself for ruining her weekend.

When morning came Peyton had accepted that she was grounded, so planned to do something productive with her time stuck inside.

Prue walked in and looked with shocked eyes at Peyton.

Prue: "Your tidying your room? Are you ill?" she asked sarcarstically.

Peyton: "No im not ill, but i might as well do something worthwile whilst im grounded" she grumbled.

Prue: "Fair enough, your Dad and I are going out for a few hours, your Aunt Phoebe is downstairs if you need anything"

Peyton: "Where you's going?"

Prue: "Out"

Peyton: "Can i come?"

Prue: "No, your grounded remember, see you later" she said grabbing her face and planting a kiss on her cheek.

Peyton mumbled something under her breath and took her palm down her cheek trying to wipe away the kiss as her mother walked out.

A couple of hours later Peyton stood and admired her bedroom, nothing could have been faulted, bed was made, room was vacaumed and dusted, and not a thing out of place. As she stood she heard a small rumble.

Peyton: "Definately time for lunch" she said to herself as she put her hand on her stomach.

She went down to the kitchen where her Aunt was stirring some form of liquid in a pot on a stove.

Peyton: "Whats the potion for?"

Phoebe: "Its not a potion, its tomato soup" she smiled.

Peyton: "You can cook? Wow, learn something new everyday"

Phoebe: "Yes i can cook smarty pants, want some?" she asked as she turned her head back to the stove.

Peyton: "Yes please i am starving!" she exclaimed and sat herself on a stool as Phoebe ladelled the soup into bowls.

As they sat eating Peyton turned to Phoebe.

Peyton: "Do you know where my parents are away to? My mum wasnt up for telling me where they were going"

Phoebe: "No they never said, but she said theyre gonna have to talk to us later"

Peyton: "When you say 'us' do you mean me and you or you and aunt Piper?"

Phoebe: "All of us i think"

Peyton: "Strange, wonder what its about" she said as she tried to figure out what it could be.

Phoebe: "No idea, anyways fancy coming shopping? Piper left her jeep" she smiled.

Peyton: "Im grounded remember"

Phoebe: "Its food shopping, so its not as if its bundles of fun, plus i can say i didnt want to leave you home alone"

Peyton nodded "Fair play Aunt Phoebe, sounds good enough to me"

In the supermarket Phoebe and Peyton were trying to weave in and out of people with their trolley.

Peyton: "Saturday food shopping is just no good" she moaned.

Phoebe: "Would you have rather sat in the house?"
Peyton: "No" she mumbled.

Phoebe: "Thought so, hand me that pack of spaghetti please"

Peyton did so and continued walking. Half way up the frozen aisle she felt a pair of hands cover her eyes, she was just about to turned around to kick some ass when she heard a soft whisper in her ear.

"Guess who?"

Peyton turned and grinned, and planted a soft kiss on the persons lips.

Thomas: "Ive missed you"

Peyton: "I seen you last night" she smiled.

Thomas: "Still missed you"

Peyton: "I missed you too, what you doing here anyhow?"

Thomas: "Came food shopping with my mum, gonna grab some food to take to Charlies party tonight. Do you want me to meet you at yours before we go?"

Peyton: "I cant. i meant to text you, i got grounded for last night"

Thomas: "That sucks majorly, cant you just sneak out?" he said with a cheeky grin.

Phoebe: "No she cant"

Thomas jumped at the sound of Phoebes voice behind him.

Thomas: "Hey Phoebe, didnt see ya there"

Phoebe: "Yeah, i was wondering why it was taking so long for Peyton to find frozen peas"

Thomas: "Yeah, my fault, sorry" he cleared his throat akwardly.

Peyton: "I better go, ill see you later" she said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Thomas: "Ill give you a text"

Peyton: "No use, phones been taken from me as well" she sighed.

Thomas: "Your mum is too strict"

Peyton: "Tell me about it" as they both let out a small laugh.

Peyton heard Phoebe calling her name from up ahead so said goodbye again and ran to catch up with her.

Peyton spent the rest of the day in her room reading, until about 6pm when she was called down for dinner, then at 8pm, when her parents arrived home and called her down.

Peyton: "You's have been gone for ages" she said upon greeting them in the foyer.

Andy: "We know, look go sit in the living room with your Aunt Piper and Aunt Phoebe, we need to talk to yous"

Peyton wedged herself in between her two aunts as Prue and Andy sat down opposite them.

Piper:" So whats this all about?"

Phoebe: "Oh are you pregnant?" she asked grinning.

Peyton: "Oh my god please dont be pregnant"

Phoebe: "Dont you want a little brother or sister?"

Peyton:" No way!" she said seriously.

Piper: "Maybe they're getting married?"

Phoebe: "Could well be"

Peyton: "Oh i could be a bridesmaid!" she clapped her hands excitedly.

Prue: "GUYS!"

The 3 heads shot towards her.

Prue: "Im not pregnant"

Peyton: "Oh thank god" she let out a sigh of relief.

Prue: "And were not getting married"

Andy: "We're moving out" he said slowly, fearing the reaction of his daughter and sister in laws.

Peyton: "What? Why?"

Prue: "Well, we both feel its about time we got a place of our own. We cant live together forever"

Peyton: "But i dont wanna move"

Piper: "But what about demons, were strongest when were together"

Andy: "Theres ways around that, me or Leo are only a call away if you's need orbed to each other"

Phoebe: "But when you's are working who's gonna look after Peyton?"

Prue: "She's 14, she'll be ok home alone herself for a couple of hours a day"

No one said anything so Prue spoke again.

Prue: "We found a nice apartment across town"

Peyton:" How far across town?"

Prue: "About 30 minutes bus journey"

Peyton: "Can't i just stay here?"

Piper: "Dont you wanna go with your Mum and Dad?" she said with raised eyebrows.

Peyton: "Well, of course i do, but, i dont wanna leave here, ill never see you's!"

Phoebe: "Of course you will honey, come here" she said putting an arm around her and pulling her in.

Andy: "I know its a lot of change for you, especially cause you've just settled here..."

Peyton: "Exactly so why unsettle me!" she said jumping to her feet causing Phoebe to jump.

Peyton: "Are you's even thinking about me in all of this? Here im only a 5 minute walk to Thomas' house, or a 10 minute walk to Stephs. Ive got my own room which i have finally managed to make it feel like my own! I get to see my two Aunts everyday! This is just bullshit!" she screamed before running out of the living room and upstairs.

Andy stood up to follow her but Prue grabbed his arm.

Prue: "Leave her, she just needs time to cool down"

Andy: "I didnt think she'd take it as bad as this"

Piper: "Can you blame her, after all the changes shes had through he life, never having that place to call home, then when she finally gets it you want to move her out of it?"

Prue: "I know, i know, but did we expect to stay with each other forever? What about when you two decide to start having kids?"

Piper: "I know that, and i completely support your desicion, im just saying its got to be tough for her"

Phoebe: "Ill support you's, but i still think its a wrong move just now, i think were all safest together, by splitting up we are gonna be way more vulnerable to demons"

Andy: "There will be a way around that"

Prue: "Well, thanks for being understanding for the most part, im going to bed now, its been a long day"

Andy: "Im coming too" he said grabbing her hand.

Peyton sat in her bedroom, replaying the events over in her head.

"Maybe i over reaceted, i mean its just across town" she thought to herself.

She heard the door across the hall open and shut and realised her parents would be going to bed. She tiptoed out her bedroom and outside their door, wanting to deal with this now than wait till morning. She was just about to knock when she heard her mothers voice from the other side of the door.

Prue: "Maybe she's right though Andy" she said with concern in her voice.

Andy: "Who's right?"

Prue: "Well all of them actually, we're safest together"

Andy: "Look Prue we've already went over this, we can find a way around it. Besides dont you want a place of your own?"

Prue: "Well i do, but..."

Andy cut in: "No buts, were taking this house ok, i think it would be good for all of us"

Piper: "What are you doing?" she asked.

Peyton jumped at the sound of her aunts voice.

Peyton: "Jesus Aunt Piper! You about gave me a heart attack" she whispered.

Peyton: "Im going to apologise to my parents for the way i reacted ok"

Piper smiled and went over to her: "Goodnight honey" she said giving her a kiss on the head before dissapearing into her own room.

Peyton knocked quietly on the door.

Prue: "Come in"

Peyton opened the door but didnt walk into the bedroom, just stood in the doorframe.

Peyton: "Im sorry for how i reacted ok. It was just a shock, and i suppose i dont really care where we live ,as long as its with you's two"

Andy: " You 'suppose'?" he asked with raised eyebrows.

Peyton: "Thats the best your gonna get" she answered back.

Prue: "Thats good enough for me, come here" she motioned for Peyton to go hug her.

Peyton stepped into her mothers embrace and hugged her back.

Peyton: "Im going to bed, i love you's"

Andy and Prue: "Love you too"

The next day again day they had started packing , they were getting the keys on Tuesday so wanted to have everything ready so they could movie in straight away.

"Mum i need more boxes!" Peyton shouted.

"More? How much stuff do you have Peyton!"

"I dont know, check the receipts cause you bought me it all!"

Prue walked in with another 3 boxes. "Ha-ha very funny. Seriously, you need to cut back on some of the stuff"

Peyton: "But i need it all" she whined.

Prue: "You need an empty tin?" she said picking it up and shaking it.

Peyton: "It could come in handy"

Prue put the tin into the bag marked rubbish: "Only essentials Peytons"

Peyton grumbled to herself and started going over all the boxes and removing the stuff that apparently didnt count as essential.

When Tuesday morning came, Peyton was awoken at 10.30am by her father coming into the room and turning the light switch on and off whilst calling her name.

Peyton: "Daaaaaad" she moaned.

Andy: "Come on sleepy head, your mums away to get the keys and the removal van will be here in half an hour so we'll need to give them a hand with the boxes"

Peyton: "Fine im coming, im coming" she said reluctantly and pulled herself out of bed.

By the time Prue had come back everything was in the removal van and was just waiting on being told when to go.

Prue: "Andy can you go tell the driver we'll be leaving in 5 minutes, just need to say goodbye"

Andy: "I will do honey" as he walked off.

Prue said her goodbyes and made her way to the car as Andy said his.

Phoebe: "Wheres Peyton?" she asked.

Piper: "I dont know, ill go have a look inside"

Andy: "Tell her to hurry please"

Piper nodded and made her way upstairs.

She went to Peytons Empty bedroom and found her standing in the middle of it.

Piper: "Its time to go sweetie"

Peyton turned and nodded, her face tear stained.

Piper put her arms out and Peyton ran into them, sobbing silenty into Pipers chest.

Peyton: "I dont want to go" she cried.

Piper: " I dont want you to either but you gotta go what you gotta do, your place is with your parents" she said softly, as a single tear slowly ran down her cheek.

Peyton took her hand and the two of them walked to the front door where Phoebe, Leo and Cole were waiting.

Phoebe: "Bye sweetie" she said giving her a hug.

Peyton: "I love you"

Phoebe: "I love you too"

Piper: "Remember your only across town, you can come over and stay whenever you like, just call for Leo, ok"

Peyton nodded and said goodbye to Leo.

Cole put an arm around her and walked her to the car.

Cole: "I know its not easy, but theyre right, your not that far away ok, and if you need me, just use your telepathy ok"

Peyton: "Ok, bye Uncle Cole"

Peyton got into the back of the car and looked up at the Manor as they all waved goodbye to them. She didnt know why, but she had a bad feeling about this, something just didnt feel right.
