When she heard the doorbell ring, Piper immediately put down her book and got up to go answer it; wondering what someone was doing coming over at 2am. A slight frown of worry crossed her face; anyone calling at this time of night had to mean trouble, or be in trouble. I would just figure, she thought to herself, that now once all of their lives seemed to be going fine and their lives seemed mostly demon free, that something had to go wrong. She got to the door but hesitated, almost not wanting to open it and unleash whatever problems lay behind the door. She sighed and opened the door, while staying on full alert for whatever problems were waiting. She stopped dead when she saw Phoebe standing on the porch; with a tear streaked face, suitcases and her three girls.

"Oh my gosh, Phoebe what's the matter. Did something happen to Coop? Was it a demon? Are you alright?" Piper said so quickly she practically fell over her words.

"Oh no, Coops fine, in fact he's the demon that I have to deal with" Phoebe said with what seemed a mixture of resentment and pain.

"Coops a demon" Piper said, her voice heavy with disbelief. "How's that even possible?"

"Well, maybe not technically a demon, but anyone that evil and manipulative ought to be considered a demon." She replied.

Piper gave her an odd look and said "Ok Phoebes, you have me a little confused, I mean Coops a cupid, I don't think they even can be evil, I mean I think they are kinda like whitelighters in that."

Phoebe sighed and replied "I don't know, I mean I guess it can't be technically called evil if it's all done with the elder's permission…"

"Oh, the elders are involved are they, I should have figured that anything that had one of us in tears would somehow be traced back to them, so what did they do this time?" Piper asked.

"Well" Phoebe started "You remember how the elders sent Coop down to help me find love, and then later your boys told us that they sent him down so I could find him, well I found out tonight that the plot is much deeper and much more horrible than that. The elders actually…"

"Wait" Piper interrupted "Lets put the girls down, it's late and they look exhausted."

Phoebe looked surprised, as thought she had almost forgotten they were there. She sighed, rubbing her temples and pushing her hair out of her face. "Ok, ya, of course. Umm girls why don't you go get some of you Pj's, and put them on in the bathroom, while Aunt Piper and I get some sleeping bags set up for you here in the living room."

"Ok Mommy" Said her oldest daughter Philana. She grabbed her sisters Paulette and Pegatha by the hands and dragged them in the direction of the bathroom.

"Well I guess we better set up some sleeping arrangements and once we got them settled down you can tell me what happened." Piper said

Phoebe nodded and they headed up the stairs to collect the sleeping bags.
