"Fine mom, go back to work and do what you do best." Penny said in a low voice. It wasn't as if her mother was home much anyway. Her mother spent most of her time at work leaving Penny to take care of herself majority of the time.

"Phoebe, I think we have bigger problems than a deadline right now. Look at yourself, I love you, but you have been acting funny for too long now. You have got to realize what your problem is, before we all end up getting ourselves killed. You think it's bad that Penny skipped school, so what? It's not the end of the world, at least you had the oppertunity to be around your daughter from the time she was born. I didn't, mine was stolen from me, and I finally was able to track her down, and if she had done anything like what Penny did, yeah I'd be mad, but I'd get over it and I would do what I could, just to talk to her. I wouldn't worry about some deadline, after all work is...just that work, it can be replaced your daughter can't!" She had been thinking about all that for a while and she was fed up with what was going on, and wasn't about to let Phoebe make the same mistake others had made.

Penny looked at her aunt "no aunt Piper its ok, if she wants to go back to work then fine let her go back, it's not like she cares about me or what I do anyway." Penny said as she turned and walked away from the adults.

Coop was standing a little away from things as Piper, Phoebe and Penny argued, he was't really sure what was happening here, Penny was't a bad kid, so it was't that big a deal as he was concerned.

Penny stopped before she reached her father. She sat down under a tree not saying a word to anyone as she thought about how things were between her and her mother lately.

coop went over to her and sat down next to her "Penny, is there any problems at school? Are you being bullied?" he asked her, he wanted to make sure she was not suffering any problems at school as to why other than what she'd said was the reason she was here.

Penny looked back at her mom for a minute then turned to her father "no dad, everything fine at school." she said softly. Things were fine at school Penny just hated that her parents weren't around often and she just wanted her family to spend more time together like a normal family should but she knew her family was far from normal.

"Penny is there anything bothering you? have we not been with you enough lately? I know your mother is busy and I have been too, I'm sorry if we've neglected you..." Coop said to her trying to understand.

She sighed for a moment, how in the world could she get through to Phoebe when honestly Phoebe didn't seem as if she wanted to. She seemed to be lost in her own little world, and the only time she'd ever seen her sister like that was when Cole was involved, and that was more than enough to freak her out. She just wanted her sister to be back to the way she used to be, and not worrying so much about work but just balancing everything out.

Penny sighed "I know you guys have busy lives and have to work but I just wish we could spend more time together as a real family. You guys are usually at work and no one else is around much so I usually spend a lot of evenings entertaining myself." she said softly as she looked at her father.

Coop sighed, this had to be hard on Penny, being alone so much, he hadn't picked on it, was he so busy with his work that and he put a arm around Penny and hugged her closer to him "Penny, we have't been there for you and i'm truely sorry, we both love you dearly and I promise I'll try to be around more for you."
He did't know what else to say that could make her feel better, he really had't noticed how being alone was affecting her but he did mean what he said.

"Dad you just don't know how hard it has been for us children while you and mom have been busy at work. It has gotten to the point that we don"t think you guys care about us, we think you care more about your jobs than us." Penny said softly.

Coop looked taken aback, didn't love them? Phoebe and Coop were about love and the fact that their children could consider that they weren't loved really shocked him. "Penny you're all loved very much, I know your mother gets stressed at times but that doesn't mean that any of you aren't wanted or loved!" he told Penny.

"Well thats not the way we feel. to us its like you guys could care less what happens to us. Dad we have barely seen you or mom in god knows how long. Do you know how it feels living every day thinking your parents don't care about you. It hurts alot." Penny said softly as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Coop hugged her properly trying to comfit her, he did't understand where this had come from, Phoebe and himself had been working hard for the kids, to hold a human job and a magical job weren't easy but they did it so the children would be able to have what the other children had if they wanted it.
