Been A Long Time ( Tag Piper/Pheobe)

[Paige Matthews]

As Paige entered the famous club her sister owned she sighed, It had been a long time since she was here. It felt good that she had this one night to just be herelf and not a Whitelighter or a Charmed One, Just Paige. She wondered if here sisters were here , Piper probably would be , but she didn't know about Pheebs. They hadn't been together in a long time - well when they weren't fighting demons , that is.
Henry was off with one of his parolee's so she was alone.
Paige looked around at the crowd , she frowned , everyone was so dressed up. Paige just stood in a pair of blue jeans and a red ruffled , off- the shoulder top.
The night was still young though , most of the usuals weren't here yet.
Paige herself was here relatively early for a Friday night.

The band playing here tonight was pretty good. Paige decided to step onto the dance floor, she looked around once more , scanning the crowds for anyone she migt know. Sadly there was no one, then as she let herself get lost in the music , she was dancing. But of course something had to disturb her of her peace. Ring! Ring! Ring! , her phone started to vibrate.
She took it out of her bag and flipped it up "Hello?" she cried into the phone , she started to make her way towards the exit , as it was far to noisy in here. "Hello?" she repeated. The voice was belonging to one of her charges
"Paige! Paige! I need your help..." the voice said into the phone.
Paige replied in a calm voice "Okay , sssh calm down , now what's going on?".
Then the line went dead , Paige groaned , "stupid phone" she said into the receiver. Wonder what that was all about? she thought to herself.
The charge that had been on the phone to her was a fully advanced witch , so she could probably handle herself , could she? .
But anyways Paige had no idea if it was just a stupid trap or not. If only Piper or Pheobe were around. " I could really use some help right now , guys!" she said mostlyto herself.
Making her way back into the club

[Phoebe Halliwell]

I worked late at the office, I had to get this week's column done before Elise threw a fit. Sending off the final draft to editing, I closed my laptop and exited my office. Coop had cupid business, a couple in Seattle that were destined to be together and needed a little magickal push. So that left me time to see my sisters. Or so I hoped.

I stopped by the apartment to drop off my work load and change into something less work appropriate. I slipped on a loose halter top, a red skirt, and a matching pair of heeled sandals. I let my hair down and gave it a good shake. "There. Good enough." I smiled to my reflection and headed out for P3.

The club was packed! I almost didn't find a parking spot, but managed to squeeze in near the door. I had to weave past a bunch of people in line waiting to get in. Inside, the crush of people were dancing to the new band playing, or enjoying their drinks at a table. I scanned the crowd for Paige or Piper, but didn't see either of them. I'd have to give them a call if they didn't show up. It was Friday night, our drink night. As long as demons didn't interfere.

I made my way up to the bar and flagged down Adam, Piper's newest bartender. "Hey Phoebe, what can I get ya? I grinned. "Hi, Adam. A Perrier for now. Have you seen Piper or Paige around?" I more or less had to yell over the crowd. He nodded as he walked back to get the Perrier, then dropped in a straw and handed me the green bottle. "Yeah, actually. Paige was just here." He trailed off as he looked out over the crowd. "Don't see her now, but we're pretty packed. I'm sure she's around some here somewhere." "Thanks." I smiled and sipped my Perrier, turning to look out at the crowd of people and hopefully pick out Paige.

[Paige Matthews]

Paige entered the club once more , this time she made her way to the bar. Oh! , she was startled , Pheobe was here. Was she always here?. Maybe Paige was expeirencing a loss of senses. It had happened to the sisters before. But she really doubted that , she was probably just be unobservant as usual.

The small brunette walked up to her sister. " Hey Pheebs, when dd you get here? , I didn't see you come in"
She took a stool from under the table and sat down beide her sister. Ugh 2 down one to go. Piper must be here somewhere. She was working tonight , and Piper never missed work. Especially not when there was a band playing. So where was she? "Have you seen Piper around?" she asked Pheobe , before turning around slightly toward the bartender "Can I have a mineral water , please?" she asked politely. The bar tender nodded and took out a celean glass , he then bent down to take a bottle of water out from the cooler. "Here you go , Paige" he said as he placed the glass in front of her.

The band playing tonight had just finished a song, the crowd , which was increasing largely erupted into applause. Paige had to admit there was always a great atmosphere in P3. Which was one of the reason's she loved it so much.

[Piper Halliwell]

Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap...

I pulled around the back of the club. My 2009 jeep cheroke packed to the brim with box of bottled wine. I stopped at the back door and parked the car. I took the keys out of the ignition and went to the back of the car. I took out two cases of the wine and walked over to the back door. Locked. Holding the cases with one hand, my leg and the wall, I freed my right hand and the keys. I fumbled through them to get the right key out. I tired shoving the key in the door when they slipped out of my hand. I grabbed the slipping cases of wine with my now free right hand and looked up, exasperated. I set the cases down and picked the keys up. I was already late as it was, 5 more minutes wasn't going to hurt anything. I opened the back door and propped it with a brick. Picking up the cases again, I walked into the club.

It was packed. Great. The store room was on the other side of the dance floor. I was having a really, really bad day. I stacked the cases next to the back door and went back outside for more. Hopefully, Adam would see me and start helping, but by the looks of things, he had is own work to do.

[Phoebe Halliwell]

Keeping my straw clenching in my teeth, sipping now and again, I stared out over the crowd, watching the band as the wound down the song. I was sure that Piper had told me she was working tonight. I turned just in time to see Paige coming toward me. I smiled and waved as she walked over. I held up my Perrier, still 3/4 full. "Not long. Just got here." We were still practically yelling to each other, just to be heard over the crowd and the band.

I shook my head. "Huh uh. Not yet. She was working tonight right?" I bobbed my head to the music, watching the band and occasionally looking around to see if I could find Piper anywhere. "They're good.", I leaned over to tell Paige so I didn't have to yell. When they finished their song, I clapped with everyone else, then set my bottle on the bar and slipped my arm through Paige's. "Let's see if she's in the back."

I lead us through the crowd, toward the back room. Once we weaved our way back there, I knocked on the door before opening it. "Piper, you in here?" I looked around, but she wasn't in there. "Hm. Did you see her car? I didn't look when I pulled it, I was more concerned with finding a place to park. You think she'd be here already with the place so packed." The band kicked up another song, to the roaring appreciation of the crowd. "Looks like they have a pretty steady following." I laughed, nodding back to the band. "I guess one of us should go see if we can find her car. Or she might be in the store room."

[Chris Halliwell]

It had been one heck of a day for Chris and his brother, ever since they came back from the future, they've been vanquishing demons. Sure it wasn't their time and sure its the time when Paige, Phoebe, and Piper were the Charmed Ones but the boys wanted to give them a push and to help them out, in reward for the girls to save Wyatt's tail. While Wyatt had gone to the Manor to chill, Chris decided to head to P3. He had asked Wyatt if he'd like to come along but he was told no. Besides he'll come another time. The boys always hung out together. In the future, they would be the ones who'd have a hard time to have some time to do you know guy stuff but always found a way to hang out whether it'd be at the club, Piper's restaurant or even at the movie theatre. They always were best of friends and it was all thanks to the other Chris who risked his life because if it weren't for him and Leo, this Chris would have been by himself away from a future where the world was ruled by his own flesh and blood. Yay thank you other Chris! Chris had orbed in from the back. He didn't feel like going through the crowd after telling the bouncer he's a freaking Halliwell. He was too tired for that so he cheated by orbing in the alleyway and used his telekinesis to open the back door. It lead to the storage room where his mother was putting the boxes down. "Whoa Mom, you need help with that? Here let me." He reached over and placed some boxes together stacking them up. "Oh and hey how come you're not out there with your sisters? Don't worry about this. Go, drink something. I'll look after the nightclub for you." Yeah that's great do more work. "Uh where's Aunts Phoebe and Paige?"

[Paige Matthews]

[OOC:OMG so sorry , it's been so long since i was here and I know that I am majorly late here. So sorry for my absense. Life has been crazy]

Paige smiled , "Yes we really should it's not like Piper to skip work!". She got up out of her chair. She looked around the club one more time , scanning the crowds. Looking for any sign of her sister. "Best check the storage room first." , Paige said to her sister as she nodded her head for her sister to follow.

Paige made her way through the crowds. She had no idea how there could be so many people here. This must've been a great band. Then she remembered what Pheobe had said about the followers. "Bet they have a lot of groupies." she said to her as Paige looked at the crowd cheering.

Turning toward the storage , she began to continue through the packs of people. Most of them were girls , but they raned in age from late teens to early thirties. How come Paige had never heard of this band? , if they were this big shouldn't she have known them?

[Piper Halliwell]

I turned around and Poof There was my son, only in future form. I gasped and froze time. I didn’t know when I would break that habit, but at least I didn’t blow anything up. “Geeze Chris.” I left hand found my chest. My heart was banging around inside me, seemingly trying to escape. “You scared the hell out of me.”
"Whoa Mom, you need help with that? Here let me."
How did I manage to raise such great kids? Or, raising… It hurt my head to think about it. Apparently, Leo and I were still doing a good job, both of the boys were doing great, and bonus, not evil! I smiled at my handsome kid. “Thank you Chris.”
"Oh and hey how come you're not out there with your sisters? Don't worry about this. Go, drink something. I'll look after the nightclub for you."
I took a step back and watched him work. A mother could only be so proud before she burst. I flicked the tear away from my eye before he could see it. It was amazing, I could cuddle with him in his 1 year old form, teach him things, play with him, and then I could talk to him and be oh so proud of him in his future form. We were a truly blessed family.
“I’m sure there out there, probably enjoying the band.” Speak of the Devils. I could see Phoebe leading Paige this way. “Here they come now.”
I whistled to get their attention. The Club was far too packed tonight. Jim, the bouncer, would have to start kicking people out soon. I could tell we were way over our maximum occupancy. My office was the only free space there was. “Come on, let’s get away from this crowd.” I unlocked my door and ushered my family into the quieter room.

[Chris Halliwell]

Chris bit his bottom lip when his mother stuck her hands out and froze time. It was a good thing he's also a good witch or he'd be frozen too. "Sorry, didn't really mean to," he first replied. After he had helped her out, he nodded. "No problem, anytime." Then he nodded again. "Oh yeah it looks like its jam packed out there! I haven't seen it this packed since well the last time I was here." Meaning the OTHER Chris. He remembered those stories and the fact that in the office, was where he slept at. He still wondered why his other version chose that area. Chris turned towards the direction and could see Phoebe and Paige heading this way. They were ushered inside and while Piper had ushered them, Chris carried more of the boxes into the other room then walked out to join them. He waved at his two aunts.

[Phoebe Halliwell]

((LoL, it's ok Paige. We all get bogged down or have something come up from time to time that leads to lagging with the postage. No worries, love!))

I grinned and nodded to Paige. "I know, right?! She's the 'responsible' sister." I used air quotes around the word responsible, and giggled. "Yeah, I wouldn't doubt they're rolling in groupies." I paused. "Ok, that didn't come out like I intended it to." Another laugh bubbled up from me.

Piper's sharp whistle earned her a giant grin and a wave from me as I linked arms with Paige again. We wove back through the crowd on our way to Piper. I nodded vigorously. It was too loud and too packed in the club, so her office was a much better option to hang out in and have a chat.

Chris, or at least his adult, future self, was with Piper. I smiled and went up to give him a great big hug. "Hey Chris. Glad to see you out tonight. No Wyatt?" Again I was referring to the older, future Wyatt, not the toddler back at the mansion with Leo. I had to admit, having 2 Wyatt's and 2 Chris' was a little weird. But weird was the norm for our family, and I loved my nephews to pieces. Um, not literal pieces. At least I hoped not. That would make for a very unhappy Piper. And when Piper's pissed, the rest of us got the brunt of it.

I perched myself on the corner of Piper's desk. "So what's shakin', aside from the crowd?" I grinned. "Aren't we a bit over the occupancy already? And did you see that line out front? I gotta hand it to you Piper, P3 has never been busier. I'd say you should take some time off, but I already know your answer to that." I smiled to my sister, the work-a-holic. Not that I didn't have stints where I spent inordinate amounts of time at the office myself. And that didn't count working from home when trouble arose at the same time I happened to have a pressing deadline. Honestly, the Charmed Ones never really seemed to have a day off. Those two small words probably shouldn't even exist in our vocabularies.

[Chris Halliwell]

"Hey Aunt Phoebe," Chris replied while his aunt gave him a huge hug and pulled away from him after. "Yeah no Wyatt. I asked if he wanna come and he said nope. I guess he's busy but we'll stop by later on uh just not tonight since its completely packed out there. I mean seriously. I am so glad I orbed in the alleyway!" Chris paused and gave them all a look before they'd start telling him the lesson about personal gain, though well he knew they even have to learn that also. From what he was told, that is. "He's at the house chilling out and helping Dad looking after our mini me's. He's probably playing with my mini me right now with some blocks or something, like the other Chris did with him. Anyway we decided to take some time off from demon hunting. I know what you all would say," he looked at Piper last and then turned to the rest of the three, "but whether you like it or not, we're helping you three out. It feels good though also to see you three again. Oh! Just to let you know, I heard from Aunt Prue. She couldn't come today since she had some things to do but she said she'll come by tomorrow." Prue had also came back though he was shocked when he heard about her being a whitelighter since it was really for non magical humans but he knows she deserved it. After all she had been a selfless person who risked her own life for others.

[Piper Halliwell]

I froze, not magically, the second Chris mentioned Prue. He said it so calmly that for an instant, I thought it might have been a joke. The confusion on my face matched the confusion in my voice. "Wait, What?!" I rose up from my seat and stood next to Phoebe. It was almost too much to take in. "Prue's back?! Did we know Prue is back?" I started to panic. I was happy, I mean, God my sister was alive! I started walking back and fourth. "How, when?" The excitement began to grow in me. "Tomorrow?!" I stopped pacing. "Are you sure she's not a demon?" I narrowed my eyes in suspicion. "I tried to summon her once, Gram told me Prue wouldn't come to me, that she couldn't..."

((Didn't know if we had someone playing Prue or not, I didn't think her being back would be common knowledge, lol))

[Chris Halliwell]

"Mom, Mom, whoa calm down. She's not a demon and also I don't know how she came back though she said something that the Elders didn't want you to see her at that time because you had to have some time to adjust. She felt bad she didn't get to but come on she was there a little bit right? After all she was the one that turned the pages of the Book of Shadows and closed the door when Uncle Darryl left and when I was born she was there she closed the hospital doors and plus she was watching you guys. Look the thing is you should see for yourself cause she'll be here tomorrow. I'm telling the truth guys or if I'm not then it was seriously one HELL of a manifistation. I mean can it be true? After all its possible for us-Wyatt and I-to be here why can't it be possible for her to be back too? I mean sure its not the same cause we're from the future but if we manage to be in the past then can Aunt Prue be made into a whitelighter?"

(Yep we do, I play her though I gotta get her going. I will so start one of Prue/Piper in P3 soon. I don't know about having her here cause then it'd be with two of my chars and the three. I mean I could, maybe I could have Chris orbie out and Prue orbie in but its up to Visey and Paige too )
