Phoebe and Rachel walked into the International Terminal and walked up to the ticket desk. Rachel handed over the piece of paper that she was given when she won the prize, “ here you go ma’m have a good holiday” Phoebe laughed at the woman saying ma’m “ is every alright ma’m ?” “ yes yes every things fine nothing to worry about here” said Rachel with discussed tone as they walked off “ that was soooo rude of her to ask you if every thing was ok I mean that’s just not right a public servant asking you if any thing is wrong shocking” Phoebe had a bemused look on her face I doubt she was a public servant she thought “ she was just doing her job. Anyway it doesn’t matter any way its not like we are going to see her again is it?” “ I guess your right” they walked into the waiting lounge. An hour later the over head announcement came over “ flight 925 non-stop to Australia now boarding”. “ that’s us come on Pheebs lets go Australia here we come” “ yeah lets go see some kangaroos” they went up to the entrance to board “ have a nice flight” they walked down gangway to the plane were they were greeted by flight attendants dressed in tee shirts and three quarter pants “ hello” said the young male flight attendant “ your in first class just through here” he opened and curtain and there were twelve seats further apart then the ones on their left. “ hey Pheebs this is going to be great we have the front to as well I think…..yeah we do this is gonna rock look hey window seat…my seat” “ umm Rach I don’t think you looked at our tickets I’m in the one behind you” “ oh well ok I’ll talk to you later then ok” Rachel sat down with a relived look on her face she had made sure before they got there that they would not be sitting next to each other spending a month with Phoebe was ok but spending a 24 hour flight with her was not on Rachel’s to do list. The confused look on Phoebe’s face said it all Rachel had made such a fuss over the lady at the counter earlier but not over them being in different seats. Oh well first class is first class she thought , she put her carry on bag in the above compartment and sat down. Then she got up again and grabbed her book out of her bag. There was a young woman standing behind her “ oh sorry if I’m in the way I was just getting a book” phoebe sat down and opened her book before she could read any of it the young woman screamed Phoebe looked up to see nothing there what so ever she had no idea what the young woman screamed at.“ did…did you see that” “ see what” “ the…the thing standing over us” “ what thing are you any chance afraid of flying?” “ yes how did you kno?”” I was the same way when I went on my first flight thought I saw this great big ugly beast looking at me turned out to be my sister but hey that no big improvement” “ that a horrible thing to say about your sister” “ I’m kidding no it was a flight attendant” “ oh” seeing the horrified look on the woman face Phoebe laughed “ I’m joking there was no one there it was a figment of my over active imagination” “ oh” the young woman laughed “ my names Claire…Claire Matthews” “ I’m Phoebe…Phoebe Halliwell” at that Claire’s eyes bulged “ what” “ are you…is your sister Paige Matthews” “ yes how did you know?” “ wow I’ve meet one, sorry how rude of me I’m Paige’s adoptive cousin we grew up together I have not heard from her in about ten years. How is she?” “ She’s great she’s an aunt now our sister Piper she has a son Wyatt and another child on the way. Paige is great with Wyatt” “ she is wow I never thought of her to be a person who would get along with kids” “ what makes you say that?” “well she was never the one to come to family outings always wanted to go out and party with friends hated looking after our cousins then again she has always been the party girl hard to keep track of I’m guessing” “ no not really she’s the one who is there if you need any thing or you just need to talk but she is also the baby sister and she knows if she needs us we will be there.” While they had been talking Rachel had bee there listening until the person who was ment to sit next to her came along. he was what Rachel called super yummy. “ Hi I’m Mitch guess I’ll be sitting next to you for the next 24 hours” “ aren’t I the lucky one” “ and your name would be..” “ Rachel” “ well I’m guessing your not here by yourself who else is with you?” “ the woman behind me” “ well she looks like she’ll be busy for a while” “no kidding” while all four of them were talking all the air safety procedures had been run though and they were now taxing in down the run way.

Leo orbed back into the sun room of the Manor “ well..?” “ ok I told the elders the story and they seem to think Dan’s right so what ever happens to us will happen to her”” well that’s comforting…not” Piper got a puzzled look from Dan and a alarmed look from Paige “ huh?” “ oh crapola” Piper stood up and walked into the kitchen, Leo and Paige’s eyes followed her “ washing up” both of them said “ huh? What? Will some one please fill me in” Leo looked to Paige who then got up and walked and sat in front of Dan and grabbed his hands “ Phoebe has just put her and the rest of us in danger of a deamon attack this includes you so now she has gone we have to keep you here with us because if you stay at your place there is no way of protecting you” “ this is bad right?” “ very the only time Piper washes up these days with out needing to is when something bad happens it hurts her back to stand up to long”.
Claire and Phoebe sat there talking for a good few hours about Paige and what she was like when she was younger to what she was like now neither of them could believe how much she had changed. “ I don’t believe you Paige would never do that” said Phoebe “ oh yes she did it quite a number of time the last time she did it I got in so much trouble from my mum and dad that I was grounded for three months… she was a bit of a wild child when we were growing up I can’t and wont believe that she has changed so much not the party girl I know she would never give that up just to look after kids related or not.” Time had gone by so fast that Phoebe did not realize that they were about to land in Australia. She tapped Rachel on the shoulder “ I can’t believe we are here can you?” “ yeah it will be great” as they hopped off the pain to get their luggage Mitch turned to Rachel and asked her if she would like to go for a coffee and of cause she said yes as they got to the taxi rank Rachel told this to Phoebe. “Oh Phoebe be a doll and go take our stuff and book into the hotel for us will you I’ll be there soon thanks Hun.” Do I have a choice in the matter Phoebe thought she was not going to say anything she was lucky to be here so she was going to grab whatever time here she had with open arms. She put their things in to the taxi and was about to close the door when some one hopped in the other side. Phoebe turned to tell them to get lost when she saw it was Claire “ well fancy meeting you here” “ oh hi phoebe I did not know this was your taxi I’ll wait for the next one”. “ were are you going?” “ the Sheridan” “ hey that’s the same as me hop in and well save some money by doing it.” When they arrived it took two trolleys to get their things to the front desk. “ hello may I help you?” “ yes a room for two under the name of Dremel” “ I’m sorry ma’m there is only no booking here for a one room under the name Dremel” “ ok try two rooms then.” “no sorry ma’m” “ ok how about under Phoebe Halliwell”” oh yes two deluxe rooms my I see some Id please” “ yes” Phoebe handed the receptionist her passport. “ thank you ma’m there will be some one to take your luggage up to your rooms soon” she handed Phoebe the key cards to open the doors “next” “ two rooms for Mitch” “ rooms 5 and 6 right through there” she handed Claire the keys “ next” “ well you can tell who she thought was more important” “ yes well Mitch has never been known for his niceness”

Two weeks had past and life at the halliwell manor was some what back to normal although Piper had been told by her doctor that she had to stay in bed or she would go into stress related birth. Paige and Dan were searching for a house to move into and Phoebe would join them when she came back the manor was just getting to small for them all now. “ hey look there’s a for sale sign up at the Richards house see how much they want Paige.” “ ok” so Paige to her sisters advice and went over to see what they wanted for the house.
“ I like your room better Phoebe we’re switching” Rachel had just walked into Phoebes room with every intension of swapping like she was not giving Phoebe a choice in the matter” well you should not have gone out for coffee should you Rachel what do you care we are only here for a week” “ no Mitch and I are here for a week you can hang around his dad girlfriends daughter.” Phoebe was starting to see what Piper saw in her at high school a girl who will take any one down or jump over others just to get what she wants. Mitch and Claire walked into phoebe’s room “ here is the person you will spend the next month with Phoebe oh if you had not figured your going home early” Phoebe looked at Claire and they both smiled them jumped up and but yelled out finally “ what is that ment to mean Phoebe?” “ lets just say I am finally starting to see in you what Piper does and you know what her words would be….took you long enough.” “now if you don’t mind can you and your friend Mitch get out of my room. Infact you can get out of both my rooms seeing they are under my name and you need ID to get the room now if you don’t go down to your proper rooms on the ground floor I will call security” “ you would not dare” “ try me Claire got get your stuff and tell the front desk that you were mistakenly put in room 6 and your ment to be in room 430” “sure” Phoebe turned smiling at Rachel she could see she was just about to blow her top just what she wanted she waited till Claire had returned to start on Rachel again she was getting what she deserved for all the things she had done to Piper in high school this was Phoebe’s way of getting even with her. When Claire had chucked out Rachel's stuff and replaced it with hers. “ oh didn’t you say that you put the holiday under my name” “ yes why?” the look she received from Mitch was more then money could buy “ you fool now she has the right to take it all from you” Phoebe smiled “ give me both envelops” Rachel handed her one and Mitch handed her the other one. the only things phoebe switched was the amount of money they had to spend and the first class tickets home. “here you go” Phoebe handed back the envelope Rachel had given her “oh and Rachel the only thing you have to buy is any thing you want and two tickets home I would not by any thing if you want first class remember that have fun now see ya later” she pushed them out the door. “ Claire I have an idea you want to really shock them, lets go have the best two weeks ever blow it all on eating cloths and fun.” “ Could not have put it better my self.”

Thirteen days later and they still had not spent it all infact they had only spent one third of what they had. “ seeing it is our last day in Australia I think we need to do a major splurge lets hire a limo and go shopping then this afternoon we will drive to the airport in style and comfort.” “ shall we” “ lets”. The girls spent the day going to the best store that Sydney had to offer and buying the things they could only wish they could get back home. They had lunch it the top restaurant and spent nearly a thousand dollars on souvenirs for friends and family back home they were then driven to the airport in time for their flight home and who should they see hopping out of a taxi , none other then Rachel and Mitch. “ well well look who it is Claire the evil ones them selves” “ what are you doing here” “we have a connecting flight to Queensland on one of the international flights is stopping over there. And who died to give you enough money for the limo” “ oh you did not know who much spending money you had Rach over a million, and we still have enough to exchange when we get home for a ride home in one tut tut tut how the tables have turned” “ what you never said that you thief” “ you put it in my name so I was just taking what was rightfully mine don’t blame me for not finding out how much you would have to spend oh and to shock you more we spent a thousand of it on souvenirs. Now if you don’t mind we have to go get ready for out flight back home.” Paige sat in her room packing her clothes the Richards said that they would sell the house to them for $50,000 a hundred thousand less then what they would have sold it to any one else the only reason they got it so cheap was because they lived next door. Piper walked in to Paige’s room “ its going to be weird not having you lot here” “ piper we are only next door all you have to do is all and well will be right over and hey we are going to be here most of the time any way this is just so that you and Leo can have more room ok” “ I know its just gonna be weird.” Leo had gone with Dan to pack up all his and phoebes things they had told the owner they were moving out and the own had put up a for lease sign and had another family waiting to move in. “ so I was thinking seeing we still have the hundred grand left over what do you want to do with it?” “ I don’t know make a hall way between the houses so its one big house” “ that’s a great idea Dan we have to tell the girls” “ I was joking” “ oh but it is still a good idea think about it the girls would not have to run back and forth from house to house.” “ it would be pretty long” “ true but we could some how make it work lets get the last of your stuff over to the house and tell the girls.” “ what are you crazy have you forgotten that the two house are different colours our house is red Leo and that is a brick house it would look weird” Piper looked at her husband like he had lost his marbles what was he thinking. Paige stood there thinking for a minute “ what if you changed the idea a bit like Piper is right it would look a bit weird what if you had it out side like a path way with a cover over it and doors in to the house’s at each end then Wyatt could ride his trick up and down it when it rains and you could join the back yards it would make one big one. ok we don’t use it that much but with Wyatt and the baby it would work out fine.” Paige looked at her sisters smiling face she had solved the problem with out the guys going off to sulk. “ ok if Piper is fine with it. Piper?” “ sure heaven knows Wyatt could use a place to play.” “ oh and I have been seeing this really great guy Thomson. I asked Dan if we got the house could he move in with us as well seeing we have four bed room and only two at the moment are being used Dan said ok so I was just telling you if you see a strange guy that’s my boy.”

Phoebe and Claire sat in their seats on the plan and rested they had done so much that they need a break to sit there and let all the things buzzing around in their minds a place to stay before they started talking again. The both opened their eyes and found that they were about to land in America. “ wow we must have been tired I swear I only closed them for a minute.” “ I know but now I feel really refreshed and able to tackle the wrath of my sisters fury. I would invite you to come but I don’t think you would want to stand there while I get yelled at till they relies that you are there.” “ I don’t mind better then my family. How was you holiday? What did you do? What did you see? Meet any one new? Is there a special now? Why not? But you’re such a pretty girl. We are going out to find you a man now lets go.” Both women walked up the gang way and went to get their bags when they got outside they saw at the other door Claire’s family waiting for her. Before thinking of the limo they grabbed the nearest taxi and headed for the manor. They looked back as they drove away and saw Claire’s family rushing over to some one who looked just like her but had no idea who they were.” See what I mean.” “ you have seen nothing yet ok you may have suffered the wrath of Paige but you have never suffered the wrath of Piper and Paige older sister and younger sister and after they are finished with me Leo my brother in law will start then my boyfriend that is if Paige has not stolen him.” they talked about who’s family was worse till they hit the street of the halliwell manor. When they came closer to the house Phoebe saw Leo was out the front washing the car but Dan was out front of the Richards house washing his car, “ what on earth is he doing there?” “ who?” my boyfriend” just then another guy jumped up from behind the car he had short spiky blonde hair and dark blue eyes, he had a dark tan from being in the sun to long. He wore a tight bodybuilders shirt and army cargo pants “ spiky haired guy one word yummy” “ tell me about it although I have Dan.” “I don’t have any one.” Claire hopped out of the taxi making sure she looked alright, “cheeky girl.” Before Claire could do any thing Paige came out with drinks and handed one to Dan then she gave Thomson one she went to go back inside but he caught her arm and spun her around and pulled her in they shared the most passionate kiss Claire had ever seen. Phoebe fell out of the car she had not see her little sister kiss any one like that before nor had she seen any one kiss any of her sisters like that before sure Piper and Leo kissed but not like that. “yummy and not for sale…..dam.”
Piper looked out the window to see her younger sister sitting on the ground talking to someone. Well looks like some one decided to come home early how nice of her Piper thought sarcastically. She walked outside and up to her sister “nice of you to come home at last” phoebe turned around to see her sister standing there “ hey Piper long time no see still waiting are we?” Phoebe looked down at Pipers stomach personally it looks like your about to burst sis Phoebe thought but she knew better then to tell Piper that. “ yes about 2 weeks to go glad you came home early” Piper hugged her sister then turned to the person next to her “ hi I’m Piper I’m Phoebe’s older sister….PAIGE” Paige came running out of the house with Wyatt on her back “what is it?” “and this is Paige her younger sister and Wyatt my son nice to meet you.”

Claire stood shell shocked this was not the Paige she knew. The Paige she knew would not be caught dead out side of the house with track pants and a tee shirt with a 1 year old on her back. she was galloping around like a horse, Wyatt was laughing his head off. Claire turned to Phoebe “ that cant be Paige not the Paige I know” “ how long has it been since you saw her last” “ ten years ago” “a lot can change in ten years” Piper over hearing the conversation walked over to them “ you know Paige?” “ oh quite well infact well I thought I knew her but this is not the Paige I know, she’s to caring and loving and the Paige I know puts her self before any one else.” Both Piper and Phoebe laughed “ you have got to be kidding me right Paige put some one before her self that’s a laugh Pheebs were did you meet this girl?” On the plane on the way to Australia.” Paige cam over but this time with a sleeping Wyatt in her arms and behind her came Leo. “ Paige please tell me he is asleep” “ out like a light” “ you’re the best” “ no problem Leo you just don’t know how to wear him out like I do.” She handed Wyatt over to Leo and then went down to her sisters. “ hey I’m Paige if my sisters did not tell you nice to meet you” Paige stuck out her hand. “hello Paige” Claire seemed a little upset her cousin adoptive or not did not know who she was at all it was like Paige had no recollection of her at all “you are?” “Claire Mathews” Paige’s eyes opened so far that her eyes could have jumped out if they wanted to. “ no way Stacey and Mitchell’s daughter three years younger then me the one I used to get in so much trouble” “ the one and only” Paige screamed “which shocked her two sisters they had not seen this side of Paige before then again this was the first family member that they had meet that was from her adoptive parents side. “ I cant believe it its you Oh my gosh Phoebe what how when why?” “ plane to Australia sat beside me yada yada yada” Paige and Claire went inside talking like they had never been apart Phoebe and Dan went with them. Leaving Piper outside. she felt uneasy it was hard to see her sister do that, ok she knew she would always have a spot in her heart for her other family just like Piper did for Prue but why did this seem so strang?Was it the fact that this showed her that no matter how close they were now there would always be that gap. When they were kids they were worlds apart but still so close to each other, when Piper found out she had another sister she was not that overly joyed but time had past and she would do anything for her sister and she had she helped her through the tough times. The only thing now was Paige was not the one needing her big sister is was the other way around Piper needed her little sister to tell her that she was the best mum in the world and Wyatt and this one would love her for every thing she did for them, but Paige was off catching up with her family and Phoebe went inside with Dan. She looked up towards the house to see Leo walking down with Wyatt in his arms “ what is a loving person like your self doing out here?”

“ just thinking” Piper replied sadly “ come inside and think its to hot out here piper don’t worry your self she will always be your sister no matter what” “ ok inside we go” as they walked up to the house Piper turned to look at Leo he was looking at her “ what Leo do I have something on my face?” “ no I was just thinking about how lucky I am to have you as my wife, your beautiful piper you always have been.” “ stop trying to cheer me up Leo its no going to work and im not beautiful” “ ok Piper whatever you say but I still think you are” they walked up to the house in silence once they were inside and seated with Wyatt on the ground in front of them Piper turned to Leo “ how did you know I was thinking about Paige?” “ I saw them come in and phoebe had the exact same look” Piper moved in closer and pulled Leo arm around her neck “ its weird we always knew there would be that gap but we tried to hide it but now its been uncovered again. I guess we will always have that gap we are only half sisters after all” “ Paige does not think of you as half sisters does she Piper?” “ no” “ then why do you think of her as a half sister then?” Piper sat there and thought about what Leo had said “ true why are you always right?” “cause I am”
Phoebe and Dan sat in their new room, phoebe had just finished telling Dan that both herself and Claire found it funny how different Paige was from the one Claire knew to Paige now. Dan looked at Phoebe “ I missed you so much” he prompted for her to speak but Phoebe just smiled “ what is it ?” “nothing really I missed you to” “ do I look like I was born yesterday” “ no” “ then tell me what is bothering you” Phoebe smiled at least he’s not like Leo who could tell what was wrong the minute he saw you. Although that does come in handy some time and other times it’s a real pain in the but. Thought Phoebe. “ its weird she has this other family that Piper and I don’t know about or belong to its like we know Paige but we don’t really know her.” “ why don’t you go down and find out what the Paige Claire knows was like and Claire might be able to stay the night to see what Paige is like now” Phoebe smirked “ when did you become so smart” “ I cant remember always been like that.”

Meanwhile Paige was sitting in the new lounge room “ I can’t believe its actually you” “ neither can I how longs it been 10 years?” “ about that” they sat there swapping stories and retelling old ones, till Piper came and joined them. “ Tell me what was Paige like when she was younger?” “ only if you tell me what she’s like now” “ deal” Claire started her long story with Paige going on in parts, coving Claire’s mouth in others along with Piper laughing her head off at all the antics her little sister got up to. “ Paige your more like Prue then you know a great deal more like her then Phoebe and I could have imagined” Paige stopped when Piper had said this it was the first time she had made reference to Paige being anything like Prue. “ really am I?” Phoebe happened to walk in at this point. “ what’s she like” “Prue listening to Claire’s stories Paige is a great deal similar to Pure. In a lot of ways although she does have her own unique style as well something completely distinctive to Prue” “ oh yeah I could have told you that agers ago. If I go away again I am only going for a little while the biggest thing you find you want is to fill that missing home feeling” “ the thing you missed most was home” “ yeah being able to come and talk to you and Piper about anything and every thing if I needed help you were always there for me and I’m sure it’s the identical to what Piper feels.” “ to tell you the truth Paige I was a little jealous before you have this whole other family you belong to and this is our family your other family seems so big compared to ours.” “ Piper half that family I wont see ever again this is my family now this is my life I have changed to much to go live in that family Claire will tell you half of those people don’t trust me and wont trust me ever again for the things I have done” “ its true” “ well I for one am just glad you have found someone in that family who can see the new Paige Mathew's and I am also glad that you Phoebe are home were you belong” “ thanks Leo there’s no place like home.”
