They reached the top of the stairs, and as Phoebe turned to enter her room she felt the hand on her arm pulling her across the hall.

“Um Prue?” she questioned her sister as she pulled her into her own room.

Sitting on the bed Prue looked at her baby sister, “You ok?” she wanted to talk to Phoebe about something but right now she noticed that something was on her sisters mind
“Yeah, why do you ask?”
“Liar. Phoebe I’ve known you your entire life and I know when something is up.” Prue looked at her little sister. Reading the emotions behind her eyes.
“Its just.” She paused a minute as she got up and walked towards Prue’s window. Him killing that girl. It’s so senseless.”

Prue got up and stood in behind Phoebe wrapping her arms around her sisters’ body, drawing her close. “I know and that is something that we will never get used to. Demons kill for their own joy of the death. Its that that separates us from them.”
“I know it’s just hard sometimes. All of it. Sometimes I think maybe Piper was right after everything with aunt Gail.”

Prue stood in silence giving Phoebe a reassuring hug, “We can’t change who we are honey. And loosing innocents will never be easy. But for every demon we vanquish we get that much closer to saving more girls like her.”

Phoebe didn’t say anything; she just leaned her head back and rested it on Prue’s shoulder.

“So what are we going to do?” Phoebe asked as she looked out the window. “About us. And Piper moving out. Think you can handle me as your only roommate?”
“Well this is something that Piper and Leo need to do. We may not like or agree with it but its their choice. Us…well I think we’ll be ok. It isn’t like when she went to Hawaii, she’ll be like 15 minutes away. Besides I think we have both grown enough not to kill each other.”

The quiet knock on the door brought them both from their thoughts, “Guys can I talk to you a minute?” Piper eased herself into Prue’s room. “Look I’ve been thinking and Leo supports me. I..It just doesn’t feel right. When Phoebe came back home and then we discovered our heritage. Its like we got a second chance at being sisters. And I don’t think we are ready to test that yet.”
“Sooo?” Prue looked at Piper hoping she was going to say what Prue was hoping for.
“Can you guys help us move our stuff back in?”

Phoebe looked up at Prue then launched herself at Piper, “YAY!!!”

“Well I guess that’s a yes.” Prue laughed as she too joined the group hug.
“Well Leo will be happy someone is going to help him move all that stuff. Come on.” Piper started out of the room followed by her sisters

But before Phoebe could get a full step from Prue’s room she felt the hand take her and stop her, “Prue?”
“I was just thinking before and now it makes even more sense.” Prue started. “They may be moving back here now but for how long?”
“I’m listening.” She would do anything to get Piper and Leo to stay. The last three years had been amazing and she wasn’t ready to let that go yet. Let go of the bond they finally found.

“Well what if Piper and I switched rooms?”
“Ok still listening.”
“Ok, my room was Mums. Big enough for two people to share and live in. Yours and Pipers don’t really have that luxury. Not to mention that we have three people now sharing that bathroom.”
“Augh don’t remind me.” Pheobe recollection of walking in on Piper and Leo in the shower still fresh in her mind.
“Well if I switch then they have their own room. And bathroom. It’s like a small apartment. A place for just them.”
“Not to mention I can move all my stuff out of that bathroom and into….Ours?”
“Oh what you following me. I finally get you to get your crap out of my bathroom only to have to deal with in another one.”

Phoebe leaned forward and embraced Prue, “Its only cause I wove you soooo much I want everything of mine near you.”

Prue held her arms around her, “Lucky for me then. So what you say. Help me move my stuff down the hall?”
“If it will keep Piper here then, YES!” Phoebe settled a bit more comfortable in Prue’s arms; “I just hope I don’t have a nightmare anytime soon.”
“Why?” Prue looked at her sister questionably, she couldn’t remember the last time Phoebe had a nightmare. “You been having nightmares?”
“No it’s just that I am on autopilot when it comes to that. I get up and walk across the hall to you. I don’t want to walk in on Piper and Leo….you know.”

Prue had to laugh, “Yeah we might want to get them to lock their door the next few months till we adjust your autopilot then.” She placed her arm over Phoebes shoulders as the two of them started towards the stairs. “Now we just need to tell Piper she has to move out again.”

Phoebe smiled as they made their way down the stairs. They were still together and to her nothing else mattered.

Prue saw the smile on Phoebes face and knew what she was thinking. She couldn’t believe herself at times how much they had all grown together. But for now they would still be together. Until the next sister got married. She knew eventually that one of them and maybe sooner or later two would leave the Manor. But for now, they were together. Being the sisters they should have been all these years before growing up.
