Prue- 17
Piper-14
Phoebe-11

Piper Halliwell quietly walked through the front door of her house which her and her sisters called the manor. It was late and she knew she had to sneak up stairs with out her older sister Prue hearing her. Piper had never gotten in trouble with Prue before but she knew this time could be different. With their grandmother out of town Prue was in charge. This was not something she took lightly. Piper knew she was three and a half hours late. She had lost track of the time because she was having so much fun with her new boyfriend Randy. They had met at school three weeks ago. Randy was new in the school and like Piper he was very shy. He was also very good-looking with sandy blonde hair deep chocolate brown eyes, allot like Piper¡¯s younger sister Phoebe¡¯s eyes. Her also had two very cute dimples. Piper fell in love with him the moment she laid eyes on him the library on her lunch break. He apparently noticed her at the same time she was noticing her. He smiled at her and his smile warmed her heart. She had made her way over to him and started to talking to him and from then on they were inseparable.

Piper made her way to the stairs and just when she was about to go up them she stopped and turned around. She felt as if someone was watching her. When she turned around she saw Prue standing buy the doorway with her arms crossed. " I was wondering if you were ever going to come home Piper Jane Halliwell." Piper cringed at Prue using her middle name. Prue only used middle names when she was extremely pissed. "Um. Hi Prue." Prue glared at her. " Do you dare Hi Prue me Piper." Prue walked over to the stairs where Piper was standing. "Get your ass up stairs and into your room right this second." Piper didn¡¯t have to be told twice she was up stairs and in her room in record time. Jezze it seems weird having Prue send me to my room. Its usually Phoebe she does that to. Piper thought to herself. When Piper was in her room with the door shut she noticed Phoebe sound asleep on her. She left her there while she changed into her P.J.¡¯s. Just as she finished getting changed Prue barged into her room but stopped suddenly when she noticed Phoebe asleep on Pipers bed. She quietly walked over to Phoebe and picked her up. Phoebe stirred slightly but continued to sleep. " Phoebe was so scared when you didn¡¯t come home on time she ran up here and cried her self to sleep. I am going to go put her to bed I will be right back." Prue said as she carried Phoebe out of the room.

Piper had gotten a really good look at Prue¡¯s eyes and they were ice blue with anger. Oh God she is really going to kill me. Piper thought as she waited for Prue to return.

Prue walked back in and looked at Piper. "Sit." She said pointing to her bed. Piper sat. " What the hell are you thinking Piper. Your three and a half hours late. I was worried to death. Not to mention on how bad you scared Phoebe. Piper I expect this kind of behavior out of Phoebe not you. Now tell me why you are so late?" Piper sighed. " It was an accident Prue honest I just lost track of time." " You lost track of time?!" Prue said with her voice rising after each word. " That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard you say. You are way to responsible to lose track of time. But since you showed to me tonight that you aren¡¯t really as responsible as I thought you were I am left with no other choice. Piper you are grounded all weekend. No TV No Phone. You are to stay in this house unless I take you out of it. Do you understand me?" Piper hung her head. "Yes Prue I understand you. I am not Phoebe¡¯s you don¡¯t have to ask if I understand you." " What you did tonight was just like Phoebe so I treated you that way. Speaking of Phoebe I want you to apologize to her in the morning." Piper nodded. Prue walked over to her little sister and bent down and kissed her head. " I love you Piper. Get some sleep." " I love you too." Piper said as she crawled under her covers.

Prue walked over to the light switch and flipped it off. She shut the door slightly and walked down the hall towards Phoebe¡¯s room. She opened the door Phoebe was sound asleep. Prue smiled and shut the door. She made her way to her own bed. She could now sleep knowing both of her sisters were both in there beds.

Phoebe was the first to wake up the next morning. All the memories of the night before came back to her. She looked around and realized she was in her own bed. Prue must have put me to bed last night which means Piper is home. Phoebe thought to herself as she crawled out of bed. She reached to Piper¡¯s room and opened the door to see her older sister in her bed. She was going to go in but she felt angry at Piper for scaring her so bad the night before. She left the door way and ran down the hall to Prue¡¯s room. She opened the door and ran to Prue¡¯s bed and crawled up on it. She lay down next to Prue. Who she thought was still asleep. " Morning Pheebs. What¡¯s wrong.?" Prue asked tiredly. Phoebe sighed. " Nothing." " Come on Pheebs I know you better then that. Something is wrong. So why don¡¯t you just tell me what it is and maybe I can help you feel better." Phoebe snuggled closer to Prue. " I don¡¯t know What¡¯s wrong Prue. I just really wanted you. I got up and realized I was in my own bed which ment Piper was home. So I got up to go see her and when I got to her room and saw her asleep, I got kind of mad. I don¡¯t know why but at that very second all I really wanted was to be in here with you." Prue sighed. "Its OK Pheebs. I understand. I think your mad at Piper for scaring you. For the first time in your life you didn¡¯t know where Piper was. You have always known where she is and what she is doing, but last night was different. For Three hours you didn¡¯t know where she was." " Yeah." Phoebe agreed. " Pheebs its all right to be mad at her. I am mad at her." Phoebe¡¯s eyes widened. "Your mad at her too." Prue laughed at Phoebe¡¯s shocked _expression. " Yes. She scared me." "Did you ground her?" Prue nodded her head. " I had to. With Grams gone I am in charge which means I can¡¯t let you guys get away with stuff. If Grams had been here last night I think Piper would be in more hot water then she is now." Phoebe nodded. "Yeah she would be." Prue warped her arm around Phoebe who was cuddled very close to her. " I love you Pheebs." Phoebe smiled. " Ditto." Prue laughed. " Ditto. You love me ditto?" A big grin spread across Phoebe¡¯s face. " Yep I love you I ditto." Prue began to tickle Phoebe. Phoebe squealed with delight. When the tickle war was over Phoebe sat up. " Prue?" " Yeah?" " Do you have to work this weekend or are you going to be home all weekend." " I am going to be home all weekend." " Yea!" Phoebe said with enthusiasm. Prue smiled. " What do you want to do this weekend Pheebs?" " You and me go out and do something. I know Pipers grounded but were not. Please Prue." Prue nodded. " I had a whole fun weekend planned for the three of us. But now it looks just like me and you. If Piper¡¯s really good today she can come to dinner." "O.K." Phoebe agreed. Phoebe hopped of Prue¡¯s bed. " I am going to go get ready." Prue nodded. Phoebe smiled and ran out of the room.

Prue got up and made her bed and headed downstairs.

Piper was sitting at the kitchen table drinking a glass of juice and reading the paper. She looked up as Prue entered the kitchen. " Morning." She said shyly. " Morning Piper." Prue went to the fringe and garbed a yogurt. She grabbed a spoon of the counter and made her way to the table. Prue cleared her voice. " Pheeb¡¯s and I are going out today. We will be back around five. To pick you up were going to dinner tonight." Piper nodded. " While were gone remember you are grounded from the phone and TV but how am I going to know if you watch a little TV while I am gone." Piper smiled. " But I do want you to stay off the phone." Piper nodded again. Just then Phoebe came running into the kitchen fully dressed. " I am ready Prue." Prue stood up. " Phoebe I want you to eat something while I go up stairs and get ready." "O.K." Phoebe agreed. Prue headed up the stairs. Piper stood up and walked to the fringe. She pulled out a basket of strawberries and yogurt. Phoebe stood where she was watching her. Piper chopped up the strawberries and put them in a blender she then dumped the yogurt in there. She went to the freezer and pulled out the ice cream. She put a scoop of Strawberry ice cream in the blender. She put the lid on and turned it on. When she was done she pored it in to a cup with a lid. She stuck a straw in it and handed it to Phoebe. " Here you go sweetie. Breakfast to go. " Phoebe smiled. " Thanks Piper." She took a sip. " Mmm. This is good." Piper smiled and put the stuff away. She walked to the table and sat down. She motioned Phoebe to join her. Phoebe did. Just as she was about to sit down on the chair next to Piper, Piper pulled her over to her lap." " Piper." Phoebe giggled. " Pheebs. I just want to say I am sorry I scared you last night. I never ment to scare you." "Its OK Piper. Just don¡¯t do it again." Piper gave Phoebe¡¯s small little eleven year old body a squeeze.

Prue walked in to the kitchen. "Did you eat Phoebe?" Phoebe smiled. " Nope." " Phoebe." Prue said sounding a little bit annoyed. " I drank. Piper made me a smoothie type shake thing. Here try it." She said holding the cup up to Prue. Prue took a sip. " Hey this is good." "Thanks." Piper said blushing. " OK. So Pheebs and I will be back at five to pick you be ready." Piper nodded. Prue kissed on the cheek and garbed Phoebe¡¯s hand.

After Prue and Phoebe left Piper stood up to clean the kitchen the phone rang. Piper bit her lip. Well Prue can¡¯t get mad at me for answering because it could be Grams. Piper picked up the phone. " Halliwell residents this is Piper speaking." " Hey babe." the voice on the other line said. Piper blushed. " Hi Randy." " What are you doing today." Piper sighed. " Nothing. I got grounded last night." "Really you? What for." " Well I was Three and a Half hours late for my curfew." " Piper I am sorry. I didn¡¯t mean to get you in trouble." " Its OK. I¡¯ll live. Hey Randy my sisters won¡¯t be home until five and its only ten now. Why don¡¯t you come over for awhile." " All right all be over in fifteen minutes." " Great see you in fifteen minutes." Piper¡¯s stomach gave her butterflies but she ignored them.

Piper had finished cleaning by the time Randy got there. She was sitting on the couch nervously awaiting his arrival. Prue never said I couldn¡¯t have someone over. She thought. The door bell rang jarring Piper from her thought. She ran to the door. She opened it quickly. " Hi." She flashed him her big smile. " Hey beautiful." He garbed her and pulled her in to his arms and kissed the top of her head. The walked all the way in together holding hands she kicked the door shut behind her and led him to the couch. "So Randy what do you want to do? We could watch a movie." Randy smiled. I could think of some other things I would rather do." " Like what?" "Like see your room." Piper raised her eye-brow. " Why do you want to see my room? Its boring. " " I bet its clean and beautiful." " Well it is clean." So then What¡¯s the problem about seeing your room?" Piper thought this over for a second. " I guess nothing." Piper stood up and garbed Randy hands and pulled him up the stairs. She walked in to her room and sat on her bed. Randy walked around the room picking things and looking at them. He would ask her questions about where she got it. Piper felt so special that he wanted to get to know her.

Prue and Phoebe we in the car listening to music not talking, just enjoying the presence of the other person. When suddenly Prue slapped her fore head. " Phoebe I forgot that package Grams wanted sent today. She said it had be sent today or it would be to late. I wonder what to late ment. Oh well that¡¯s not the point we have to go home and get it." Phoebe nodded. " Good because I forgot my sunglasses and the sun is hurting my eyes." Prue rolled her eyes. " Well I guess its a good thing were going home. Wouldn¡¯t want those chocolate brown eyes of your to be in pain." Phoebe laughed. She loved it when Prue called her eyes chocolate brown.

Randy finally came over to where Piper was and sat down next to her. He turned so he could kiss her. Things heated up very quickly. The next thing Piper was on her back with her shirt off and Randy on top of her. She didn¡¯t mind though. She like the warmth of his kiss and his body heat. She felt Randy¡¯s hands moving down to her jeans he unbuttoned them and began to pull them down. Piper still wasn¡¯t nervous like she always thought she would be when it came to what was about to happen next.

Prue and Phoebe walked quietly into the house. at the bottom of the stairs Prue turned to Phoebe. " Lets make this quick. I do have a whole day of fun planed." Phoebe beamed. " OK." Prue was about to head up the stairs but she hadn¡¯t heard a sound. It was quiet. She was wondering where Piper was. " Piper." She called.

Piper jumped. " Oh my god my sisters are home. Quick you got to hide. Piper pushed randy in to her closet. Don¡¯t worry I bet Prue forgot something. We can pick back up where we were as soon as they leave." Piper said as she closed the closet door and struggled to get her pants up. Just as she buttoned them Prue and Phoebe appeared in front of her door. " Hi. Piper why are you in you bra?" Phoebe asked. Piper laughed nervously. " Oh just changing my shirt. I spilled milk on it." " Oh. Well I am going to go get my sunglasses Prue." Phoebe said as she ran out of the doorway to her own room. Piper just stood there with her arms crossed and a guilty smile on her face. Prue raised her eye brow. " Piper were you talking to someone just a few minutes ago?" " No I was talking to my self. I was congralting myself for getting grounded and spilling milk." Prue just continued to stare at her. Piper cleared her voice. " So what are you and Phoebe doing home so early?" Not taking her eyes off of Piper. " I forgot that package Grams wanted sent today." " Oh." "Piper." " Yes." " Are you ever going to put a shirt on." " Oh right a shirt good idea. I don¡¯t know What¡¯s up with my brain lately." " I was wondering the same thing." Prue said under her breath. " What?" Piper asked. " Nothing Piper. Just put on a shirt. Piper walked to her dresser drawer and pulled out a purple tanktop. " Piper. Its in the middle of January. Its cold in here and your putting on a tank top?" Piper nodded. " Yeah. I don¡¯t feel very well. I am kind of hot." Prue¡¯s eyes filled with concern. She walked over to her and felt her forehead. " You don¡¯t feel hot. Well maybe Phoebe and I should stay home." " No." Piper shouted quickly. In a calmer voice. " No that¡¯s OK Prue Phoebe would be disappointed. I know how much she is looking forward to your day together. I think it was just last week she was telling me how much she wanted to spend a whole day with you and no one else. She feels like you don¡¯t always like her." " What that¡¯s crazy. She knows I love her." " She knows you love her she just feels you don¡¯t always like her." " Well. I guess if your sure your going to be all right." " I¡¯ll be fine. I am just going to lay down and rest until you and Phoebe get back to pick me up for dinner." Prue nodded and started to leave the room. "Prue" Piper called out. Prue stopped and turned to look at her. " Love you. Have fun and can you please shut my door behind you." " Love you to Piper. See ya tonight." Prue said as she closed the closed the door shut behind her. Piper gave a sigh of relive. Piper ran to the closet door and threw it open. Randy was standing there with a huge grin on his face. " Hey there beautiful. I was wondering if she was ever going to leave." Piper smiled. " Yeah I know close one." Just then Prue burst through her door. Piper slammed the closet door shut. Prue noticed this. " Piper What¡¯s in the closet." " Nothing." Piper put her hands on her hip. " What do you want Prue?" " What I want is to know What¡¯s in your closet." " Like I said nothing. Now what did you come in here for?" " Prue.!" Phoebe called. " Just a minute Pheebs." She yelled back. " Piper if there is nothing in your closet let me see." " What? No. I don¡¯t have to." " What is your problem Piper?" " Nothing." I just want to go lay down." " Well there¡¯s your bed." Prue said pointing to her bed. So why don¡¯t you go to it." " I will as soon as you leave me alone." " PRUE!." Phoebe called again. " Just a minute Phoebe." " Prue yelled back." " Piper I want to know what your hiding. You are a really bad liar." " Prue did you ever stop to think I might be getting a start on making Christmas presents." " What ever Piper Christmas was three weeks ago." " I know Prue, but I got this great idea and its probably going to take me all year to make them." " Piper. I trust you almost all the time. You hardly ever lie to me but this is one of those times I just don¡¯t believe you." " Nice Prue. Really nice. You don¡¯t even believe me. That hurts my feelings allot." " Well if you weren¡¯t acting so damn guilty I would believe you. Now move." Piper had no choice she stepped over. She knew Prue was going get her way and the longer she delayed it the more trouble she was going to be in. Prue opened the door and gasped when she Randy standing there. " You out of the closet. Piper get your ass to my room now." Piper was about to protest but she stopped when she saw the look in Prue¡¯s eyes. " PRUE.!" Phoebe called again. " Phoebe honey come here please." Prue yelled back down to her. " Pull up your pants and sit." She told Randy. Randy sat down. Phoebe came running in the door and stooped in her tracks. " Whoa. Who are you? And what are you doing in my sisters room?" Prue knelt down a little so she was eye level with Phoebe who was extremely small for eleven." " Phoebe will you go sit with Piper in my room." Prue saw the look of disappointment go across Phoebe¡¯s face. " Pheebs don¡¯t worry you and I will still have fun today I promise. I just have to take care of Piper¡¯s little mess she made. " All right." Phoebe ran out of the room.

" So who are you?" Prue asked. " My name is Randy." " Oh so your Piper¡¯s new boyfriend. I have heard allot about you. I liked you at first my little shy sister was happy and opening up, but then her attitude started changing. She started talking back picking fights with her little sister. Now sneaking in way late and having boys in her room when she is grounded no less." " Come on Prue. We weren¡¯t do anything." " Oh right. I believe that. That¡¯s why I walk in here and my sister¡¯s shirt is off and your pants are down." " Prue we did not have sex." " I know I came in just in time. My sister is fourteen she is way to little to have sex. I¡¯ll still let you see her if you want to, but know she is grounded and you won¡¯t be seeing her for awhile out side of school. Then after that I will supervise your dates. If you really love Piper for who she is and not for some sex toy. You will wait it out until I can trust you are both ready understand?" Randy nods. " Now go home. Randy stood up and left quickly.

Phoebe entered Prue¡¯s room to find Piper crying on her bed. "Piper?" Piper looked up. " What Phoebe." " Are you OK?" " Yes. So you can leave now. " " No I can¡¯t Prue told me to come in here with you. Why are you crying? Did that boy hurt you?" " Piper shook her head. " No but Prue is going to. Or even worse she will never trust me again." Phoebe walks over to Piper and takes a seat on the bed by her. " Piper. You shouldn¡¯t have lied to her. That was wrong, but Prue is very forgiving. She will be mad at you for a little while but she will get over and she will start to trust you again. Look at me for example look at all the times I broke her trust. She got mad and stayed that way for a day or two. Then she always gives it back. It¡¯s a gift sisters give. Don¡¯t worry." Piper stopped crying. " Who made you so smart Phoebe?" " You did. I am just basically giving you back the advise you always give me when I am in trouble with Prue." Piper hugged her. " I am sorry I have been so mean to you lately. I love you baby girl." " Love ya to big sis." Prue entered the room a few minutes later. " Phoebe. Will you go get that package and find your roller skates. I¡¯ll meet you in the living room in ten minutes." " OK. Prue. Remember what I said Piper." " Thanks sweet girl Prue said play slapping Phoebe¡¯s butt as she walked by." Prue sat next to Piper. " Piper what is with you. lying to me. Sneaking a guy in your room. Coming in late. Picking on Phoebe. Almost having sex at fourteen." " Piper sighed. " Prue I was tired of being the good girl. I wanted to have fun." " Piper." " Prue I am really sorry. I know you will probably never trust me again." " You messed up big. That does not mean I don¡¯t trust you. I still do." Piper smiled. " You do?" " Yes. You have to be punished for what you did today. I don¡¯t want to do that, but what kind of example would be setting for Phoebe. So your grounded for the next two weeks. School only. No Phone. You can watch what we are watching on TV other then that no TV. As for today. Your are grounded to my side and you must have fun. You can¡¯t think about anything that happened this morning." Piper smiled. " Piper if Grams were here you would be in so much more trouble." " I know. Are you going to tell her?" Prue shook her head. " No. If you listen to what I say I won¡¯t. By the way I told Randy you were grounded that you could only see him at school for a couple of weeks. Then after that You can go on dates with me there. If he really cares he will wait. When I decide you showed you can handle everything on your own I will tell you. " Piper nodded her head. " OK. Prue thanks. Your the best" Piper throws her arms around Prue. Prue kiss¡¯s the top of her forehead. " No your the best, and I love you very much. That is the only reason I was mad." " I know." Prue grabs Pipers arm and starts pulling her out of the room but stops when she gets to her closet. She opens the door and pulls out her favorite Purple sweater. " Here where this over top of your tank top." " Thanks Prue." " Prue grabs her arm again. " Now come on we have an very impatient eleven year old down stairs." " PRUE. Its been eleven minutes." Prue laughs " Coming Phoebe. There has been a change in plans. Piper is coming with us." " Yea! Phoebe yells up. But I get the front seat all day because I was the good one today." Piper laughs. "Piper I think that was Phoebe¡¯s way of punishing you." " Yeah thanks Prue I got that." " Come on you guys." Phoebe yells again
