Scene: Manor. Living room. Piper is lighting candles. There is a bottle of wine in an ice bucket on the coffee table. Music is playing.]

Prue: (from the other room) Piper? (She walks in and notices all the candles.) Oh. Expecting company?

Piper: You think? Prue, what are you doing here? I'm supposed to have the house to myself tonight.

Prue: Oh, God, I-I-I thought that that was tomorrow night.

Piper: No, no, no. I put it on the kitchen calendar way in advance, that's why Phoebe's at the library studying , Philip is at study group and you're supposed to be out on an assignment.

Prue: Yeah, well, I was all day and I was just downstairs in the basement developing these shots that I took and actually was hoping to get your opinion on them. I guess now wouldn't really be a good time would it? (Piper shakes her head.) Although, Leo's not really here yet.

Piper: Alright, make it fast.

(Prue shows her the photos.)

Prue: Alright, so, so, the magazine asked me to capture faces in the city. So I went to the haight and I took these shots but look at this man.

(She points to him.)

Piper: Yeah, so?

Prue: So he is in every single one of my pictures. I-I-I mean, I didn't really focus on him, I didn't even notice him until I got home but there he is in all of them just hanging out.

Piper: Well, maybe he's homeless.

Prue: But handing out fliers? I don't think so. And look at his face. He looks so sad and determined. (Leo orbs in.) Oh.

Piper: Okay, bye, bye.

Prue: Oh, oh. Alright, so, uh, I'm gonna go now and I'll be downstairs and work all night long an I'll be really quiet and you won't have to worry about me.

Piper: Okay.

(Prue hugs her and whispers in her ear.)

Prue: So, no sex without safe sex.

Piper: Thanks. (Prue starts to leave.) Oh, by the way, on the kitchen counter there's a birthday card for dad if you want to sign it.

Prue: Um, I don't. 'Night Leo.

Leo: Goodnight.

(Prue leaves.)

Piper: That's weird. I wonder why she doesn't want to sign d...

Leo: Hi. (He walks over and kisses Piper.) You wanna sit down?

Piper: Oh, why don't we go upstairs, since she's downstairs.

Leo: Okay, I know a faster way.

Piper: You do?

(They orb out.)

[Scene: Library. Phoebe's sitting at a desk highlighting pages in a book. She looks around, reaches in her bag and pulls out some potato chips. She eats them and a girl sitting a desk beside her hears her crunching. She looks over at Phoebe.]
