Both Sam and Piper were just in a random motel somewhere. They paid in cash, Frank and Charlie instructed them that any computerized payments can be tracked easily. Sam was pouring over his laptop while Piper was scrying for any hits on her sisters and Sam's brother Dean. So far, nada.

Its been over three weeks since they ran from San Francisco, and they been on the road running since. Piper's father, Victor wasn't with them, they didn't want him getting mixed up and were afraid he would get hurt. Victor protested, but Piper told him that the Men of Letters were around for god knows how long and would use him for leverage, preventing them from saving Dean, Prue and Paige.

At the moment, Victor was living in a random small town in Nebraska working as a insurance agent. They figured that Victor could be safe undercover acting like a windowed bored retiree. He had called Piper earlier, he said he is doing okay, he was just bored not seeing his daughters. Piper had told him that they were doing research and trying to find any clues to the Men of Letters main safehouse. It was a monotonous task, since there was several safe houses, none that panned out.

"Sam."

"Hmm?" Sam hums, not looking up from his laptop.

"Merry Christmas." Piper tells him sadly.

Sam looks up. Seeing Piper tear up, he goes up to her and hugs her.

"Don't worry, we'll find them. I promise."

They held each other while Piper cried. Sam felt himself tearing up. He wanted nothing more than to celebrate the holiday but without their families, it seemed pointless.

"It's Christmas! Enjoy!" The guard tells Dean.

Dean looks at the tray with disgust. The contents on his tray looked unappetizing. The turkey was mush and the various vegetables looked like glop. But that wasn't the worst part. The pie slice that they gave him was hard as a rock. He can live with the slop on his plate, but to ruin a perfectly good pumpkin pie, someone was going to pay.

Paige didn't touch the plate. She wasn't hungry. All she wanted was to be home with her sisters having a good holiday feast. She was depressed at the thought of being stuck here with no way out. After overhearing what happened to Prue, she was afraid the same thing would happen to her. She sighed. She hoped Phoebe and Piper was okay.

Phoebe was talking and laughing with Elise and her family. They were in Elise's brother's home enjoying a board game. Since Phoebe was a vegetarian, Owen, Elise's brother, prepared her a vegetarian dish made out of tofu for a turkey substitute. As much as Phoebe liked Elise's family, it felt hollowed. Christmas wasn't the same without her sisters and their friends.

"I love you guys." She whispers.

Sam and Piper returned to their room after going out for dinner. Neither one felt like celebrating, but they both knew their siblings wouldn't want them sitting around moping. As delicious as the food may have been, neither one tasted anything.

Piper called Victor to wish him a Merry Christmas. He was happy to hear from his daughter, and wished her Merry Christmas back. He told Piper that he was currently having dinner with a nice divorcee named Jacklyn. Apparently they were coworkers. Piper smiled, at least her father wasn't alone. After she hung up her and Sam exchanged gifts.

"Oh, Sam. This is beautiful." She was happy to receive her present. It was a silver necklace.

"Sorry it isn't much, but when I saw it, I knew it would look great on you, you said silver goes along with anything."

"You listen to what I say? Such a dreamboat. I love you, Sam Winchester. Here." She hands him his gift.

"Damn, how did you know? I been waiting to read this forever! Thanks Piper." He kisses her. His gift was a book. It was a limited run novel, and was sold out for months due to the publisher releasing it for a very short run. A single copy could sell on Ebuy for hundreds of dollars.

After they exchanged gifts they go to their bed kissing.

Some time later, they fall asleep. Neither of them bothered to get dressed.

Piper was in the manor. She was looking for her sisters.

"Prue? Phoebe? Paige? Where are you?" Why were the lights off? Piper flicked the switch. Not again. This house was old, the electricity must be out again. She goes to the living room to look for a flashlight in the end table when she heard Phoebe's voice.

"Helllooooo! Anyone here! Anyone?"

"Phoebe?"

"Piper?"

When Phoebe hears Piper's voice she goes to the living room. Seeing each other's silhouettes they walked up to each other and hug. Piper was crying. She missed Phoebe terribly.

"Phoebe? How?"

"This is a dream Piper. I tapped into my powers of premonition to find you. Looks like it worked."

"I'm so glad you are a psychic. It's too dark in here. Can you turn on the lights?"

"I wish I could, but I just got my powers back. It's taking most of my strength just to find one of you."

"So, that means you're better? You haven't been kidnapped have you?"

"No. I was saved by Death. She sent a reaper to get me out. I'm no longer crazy, I am back to being myself."

"Do you know what happened to Prue or Paige?"

"Unfortunately, not. Whomever has them is blocking me finding them. I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize. I'm just glad you're better. Where are you?"

"Elise's brother's home in San Diego. We are staying here for a few days, and we are going back to Elise's apartment in LA."

"Okay. Before you wake up, tell me your address. Sam and I will drive across the country to pick you up."

Phoebe tells her.

"Okay. I need to tell you something. I'll tell you as soon as I get there. Hang on."

"Okay."

The walls and furniture started to disintegrate.

"I'm loosing my connection. I love you Piper."

"I love you too Pheebs. See you soon."

Piper sits up in a cold sweat. Phoebe was back. She looks at the nightstand. It was after seven. Looking at Sam's side of the bed, it was empty. Hearing the shower, she decides to join him, eager to tell Sam about her dream.

They were on the highway heading to California a short time later. They were in a hurry to hit the highway as soon as possible and grabbed a quick breakfast from a drive thru. Both of them was ecstatic to hear about Phoebe communicating with Piper. Sam was driving. It wasn't Baby, but the car they were driving was reliable enough to get them to Los Angeles. Sam hoped that they would be able to track down Dean as well.

Sam puts on AC/DC as a tribute to Dean, to tell him that Sam was on his way to save him. He had a feeling they would see each other again in the near future.
