Day One

Morning - Halliwell Manor - Conservatory

Prue, Parker and Poppy were looking through photo albums.

"There aren't any pictures of me or Parker growing up," Poppy told them.

"That seems impossible," Prue told them. "I mean, you guys weren't exactly camera shy."

"Yeah, well, neither were you and Piper, or you and Phoebe, or you and Grams, or you and Dad," Parker told her. "Oh, look, there's another one of you and Piper."

Prue showed them a picture. "Okay, here's a picture of you and Grams."

Poppy smiled. "Oh, weren't we cute?"

"Here's one of you and Mom," Prue told them.

"We were babies, so of course we don't even remember that," Parker told them. "She died on us a year later."

Poppy gave her a look. "Parker."

Piper and Phoebe walked in.

"Okay, all right, I need a pen and paper," Piper told them. She tried to open a drawer, but it was stuck. "Quick, we don't have a lot of time." Phoebe hit it twice, kicking it, making the drawer open. "I always wondered how you got into my candy drawer."

"Yeah, too bad all the candy's gone," Phoebe told them.

"I thought it would be easier for us to just write him a note," Piper told them.

"Who him?" Poppy asked.

"You know, what's his name," Piper told them.

The doorbell rang.

Foyer 

The girls walked toward the door.

Piper sighed. "Grandma's little friend comes every year, same day, same time. Says you know, the flowers are from a secret admirer when it's obvious he's the admirer." She opened the door to reveal a man named Nicholas outside. "Hi, come on in." The clock chimed in the background. Nicholas walked in. Piper closed the door. "How are you?"

"Flowers for Miss Penny Halliwell," Nicholas told them, going to hand them to Piper but he dropped them.

Piper froze him and the flowers. "Every year. What a klutz. At least this year I can freeze him so I can spare myself the clean up."

"Why did you want to write him a note?" Prue asked.

"To tell him Grams is dead," Phoebe answered.

"Oh, you're gonna break his heart," Poppy told them.

Piper got the vase of flowers that was frozen in the air. 

Nicholas unfroze. "Five chimes."

"Excuse me?" Parker asked.

"The clock," Nicholas told them. "I only heard five chimes. It's noon. That means you froze me. Which means you have your powers at last."

The sisters were alarmed.
