Piper: 14
Phoebe: 9

Piper Halliwell sat quietly next to her big sister on her bed. Prue was painting her nails while Piper watched. “I don’t see why you painting you nails to go camping for the weekend” Prue rolled her eyes. “Piper you won’t understand until you have a boyfriend as cute as Andy” Piper nodded “Ok if you say so” Prue put the cap on her nail polish and set it on her night stand as she began to blow on her finger nails she looked at Piper and narrowed her eyes. “Are you sure that you can take care of Phoebe for the whole weekend by yourself” Piper nodded “Yeah Prue, Phoebe listens to me because I am not as stern with her” Prue chuckled “That is going to blow up in your face missy” Piper now rolled her eyes. “What ever Prue” She said hopping off her sister’s bed and leaving the room.
Piper made her way down stairs to see Phoebe sitting on the couch watching a movie. “Hey Phoebes mind if I join you” Phoebe moved over and let Piper sit next to her. She cuddled into her. “Mmm Piper your hair smells good” she mumbled softly not taking her eyes of the screen. “Thanks Phoebe” Piper said running her hand through Phoebe’s hair. “So are you excited about our weekend at home? Just you and I” Phoebe actually pulled her eyes away from the TV and showed Piper her biggest grin. “Oh yes its going to be so much fun. No Prue telling me what I can and can’t do. I’ll be totally free for the weekend” Piper bit her lip. “Maybe Prue was right” “Um Phoebe just because Prue’s not going to be here doesn’t mean that the rules still don’t apply” Phoebe giggled. “SO you are going to make me go to bed at my bed time” Piper nodded. “Yeah right” Prue had come down the stairs to hear the last part of the conversation. “Maybe me going away for the weekend isn’t such a hot idea” She said with a big sigh as she flopped down on the big chair next to the couch. Phoebe looked at her. “Yes it is. Why would you say that” “Oh I don’t know because I have a feeling you think that because I am gone you don’t have to listen to Piper” Prue smiled a little as she saw Phoebe cringe. “Prue I’ll listen to her I promise you can go” Prue nodded “Well ok if you promise but I am taking my phone with me and if Piper says something about you not being good when I call you are in a lot of hot water got it” Phoebe gulped and nodded.
Piper waved good bye from the porch to Prue and Andy as they pulled out of the driveway. “Phoebe she is gone you can come out now” Piper yelled up to her sister. Phoebe and Prue had gotten into a fight right before Prue left so Prue sent her to her room. But Piper felt as if the fight wasn’t that big of deal so she decided it would be nice to spring her sister from her jail other wise known as her room. Phoebe bounded down the stairs all smiles “See I told you would be easier on me then Prue” Piper sighed “Phoebe Prue is trusting me to watch you if you mess up I am going to be in trouble too. So I am not going to be nicer to you. But I did think that you were in your room long enough. So now grab your coat we are going to walk down to the store to rent a movie and get stuff to make your favorite cookies” Phoebe nodded and grabbed her jacket. “Piper are we going to do fun stuff anyways and can I play with Kellie and Megan tomorrow at the park” Piper nodded “I don’t see why not. And yes we will do fun stuff. I figure if Prue can have fun so can we” Phoebe got a smug look on her face “Prue’s having fun we can’t have. I saw her pack a whole box of condoms” Piper nearly fainted she was so shocked her sister was only nine years old. “PHOEBE” she scolded but she started to laugh “Your right Prue is going to have more fun then us” Phoebe nodded “Yeah and maybe she will come back more relaxed” Piper rolled her eyes. “Phoebe where do you hear this stuff your only in the third grade” “Well Stacy at school talks about it and I listen to Prue’s phone conversations” Piper ran her tongue over her teeth “I am so going to pretend I did not just hear that” Phoebe giggled but Piper stopped her. “You don’t listen to me on the phone do you” Phoebe shook her head “No you only talk about school work and cooking that couldn’t be anymore boring” Piper playfully hit her. “Your such a brat sometimes” Phoebe stuck her tongue out at Piper but slipped her hand into Piper’s “But you love me anyways right?” Phoebe asked sounding a little unsure. Piper stopped dead in her tracks and knelt down so she was at Phoebe’s eye level. “Phoebe there is nothing in this world that you could do that would make me not love you. The same goes for Prue too” Phoebe nodded and looked a little relived “I love you too Piper. But how do you know Prue will always love me? I mean we fight all the time” Piper grinned “That proves my point what does she do after you fight” Phoebe shrugged her shoulders. Piper sighed “Oh you do too. But I will tell you anyways. She holds you and kisses you and hugs you” Phoebe smile got wider “Your right she does love me doesn’t she” Piper nodded “Yes and she will always love you” Phoebe smiled “I love her too and I will always love you too Piper” Piper scooped the child up and placed her on her hip. “Glad to hear that”

Saturday morning Piper cooked Phoebe’s favorite breakfast and the two enjoyed it giggling the whole time. When Breakfast was over and the kitchen was cleaned Piper did as she promised she took Phoebe to the park so she could meet up with Kellie and Megan. Piper also called her best friend Courtney. Courtney brought hers and Piper’s scrap book they worked on every time they got together and Piper brought the pictures and glitter and glue. Piper set up a blanket on the grass. She set Phoebe loose and her and Courtney started talking and putting their scrap book together. Piper would look up every so often to see Phoebe and her friends playing on a tire swing. Courtney looked up and smiled. “So what’s it like to have the whole house to yourself and get to play mommy?” Courtney asked with a jealous smile on her face. “Carly would never leave me alone let alone with someone who was younger then me” Piper started giggling “She didn’t want to believe me but there was a box of condoms that were calling her name. Courtney’s jaw dropped she sat there stunned for a few minutes. “Piper” she finally managed to squeal. “I can’t believe you just said that” Piper started laughing. “Neither can I, Phoebe told me yesterday she saw Prue pack them” Courtney began laughing too but there laughter was cut short by some screaming. Piper looked up to see Phoebe tackle a kid twice her size. “Dear God” she muttered as she and Courtney hopped to their feet and made a dash to the play ground. It took Piper and Courtney everything they had to pull her back. “PHOEBE” Piper scolded “Stop it right this second” Courtney grabbed the hands of Kellie and Megan. “I’ll gather up the scrap book stuff and take these ladies home” Piper nodded still struggling to hold on to Phoebe. “Ok thanks Court call me later” Courtney nodded and guided the other two little girls away. Just as Piper was about to leave an angry fat lady came running up to her. “Is that little brat yours” She spat spraying spit all over Piper. Phoebe saw this and pretend to barf “You just sprayed your spit all over my sister. Piper quickly put her hand over Phoebe’s mouth. The lady just snarled “So I take it the brat is yours” Piper glared at her. “First of all I want you to stop calling her a brat” But before Piper could continue the lady put her hand up. “That little brat needs a good spanking. She attacked my precious Jenny” Piper noticed a little girl who was obviously becoming highly over weight her self join them. She was nibbling on an ice cream cone. Piper took a deep breath “I am sure my sister didn’t just attack that girl for know reason. I assure you she will be punished for what she did she does know better then to fight” Piper uncovered Phoebe’s mouth “Phoebe tell Jenny you are sorry you attacked her” Phoebe glared up at Piper. Piper gripped her shoulders telling her it was not an option. “I am sorry” Phoebe said quickly and quietly. The fat lady glared at Piper. “You call that an apology” She sprayed Piper with spit again. “She could have hurt my baby. Jenny was so upset” Piper was beginning to loose her cool. “I do call that an apology. And I wonder about your parenting skills too obviously when your daughter gets up set in stead of cuddling her you hand her food. Well lady get ready for years of her getting picked on” Piper spat at the lady as she picked up Phoebe and placed her on her hip. The lady wiped away Piper’s spit. “Your just as bad as she is” Piper got a smug smile on her face “Well at least I can still pick her up” Piper said flipping her hair over her shoulders and storming away. “Good job Piper” Phoebe said happily. But her smiled disappeared when she saw the look on Piper’s face. “Phoebe don’t you start with me right now I am mad at you too. And you are getting punished when we get home” Phoebe sighed but shut her mouth. She put her head on Piper’s shoulder. Piper softened a little “Can you at least tell me why you beat up that girl” Phoebe sighed “Because she was pinching Kellie. Jenny goes to my school she is jealous of Kellie because Kellie got the part of Cinderella in the school play. She’s thinks Kellie only got that part because she’s skinny. That’s not true. Kellie can sing and act. And she’s to shy to stand up for herself so I warned if she pinched her one more time she would be sorry” Piper sighed “Phoebe I am really proud of you for standing up for Kellie but I still have to punish you” Phoebe started crying “I know but please don’t tell Prue about this” Piper sighed “I can’t promise you I won’t but be good and we will see what happens” Phoebe nodded.

Piper decided Phoebe was to do an hour time out in her room and write a letter to Piper telling her why fighting was wrong. Phoebe agreed quickly and went straight to her room to begin her letter. Piper sighed and looked in the freezer. “Man Prue you were supposed to go shopping before you left.” Piper muttered under her breath. She noticed some frozen split pea soup she made a couple of weeks ago. It was about the only thing in the freezer besides some ice cream, ice and baking soda. “Well I guess its split pea soup for us” She muttered again. She knew Phoebe wasn’t really fond of it. It was Prue’s favorite though so Piper made it often for her. She began to heat it up and make a salad. Half an hour later dinner was done. She sighed before she called Phoebe down bracing her self for the fight that was about to happen. Phoebe bounded down the stairs with a letter in her hand and a smile on her face. But the smile on her face faded when she smelt the soup. “aww Piper did you make that soup” Piper sighed “I am sorry baby but it’s all we had Prue forgot to go shopping” Phoebe rolled her eyes “Here” she said thrusting the letter into Piper’s hand. Piper took a deep breath “Phoebe I would appreciate it if you acted normal” Phoebe plopped down on a chair and glared at the bowel of soup that was now in front of her. “I don’t want this Piper” She said very harshly. “Phoebe” Piper used her best warning voice. Piper read Phoebe’s letter and smiled “Thanks baby girl that was a really sweet letter” Piper joined Phoebe and began to eat. Phoebe ate her salad but refused to touch the soup. “Phoebe you need to eat your soup” “No, I don’t like it” she said pouting Piper put her dishes in the dishwasher and sat down next to Phoebe. “Want sissy to feed you” Phoebe shook her head “NO” she said starting to get loud. “Phoebe Marie do not raise your voice to me please” Phoebe glared at Piper. “I don’t want this, I am not going to eat it” She said crossing her arms over her chest and giving Piper her best I dare you to try me look. Piper glared back at her. “Phoebe you are starting to tick me off. Just eat your soup” Phoebe squinted her eyes at Piper then with one quick swift movement she hit the soup bowel as hard as she could sending it flying off the table and crashing into the wall. Green soup flew through the air turning everything green it landed on. Piper inhaled quickly her kitchen was covered in soup and one of her bowels now laid broken on the floor” Piper couldn’t control herself she grabbed she sister quickly and carried her up stairs. Phoebe was screaming the entire time. “I want Prue, I want Prue” Piper laid her over knees and gave Phoebe’s bottom three quick deserving swats. “Your lucky Prue’s not here” she said in a very angry voice. “You stay here on this bed and don’t move one muscle young lady” she said putting Phoebe on her bed. She left the room and went down stairs. Before she started cleaning the mess she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She hated getting mad. It always ended up scaring her. She was an owner of the Halliwell temper but most of the time she kept quite a leash on it unlike her sister’s who never seemed to control it. Just as she was finishing cleaning the mess her lovely little sister left the phone rang. She prayed it was Courtney. If it was her Grams calling from France she would have to lie and cover for Prue. Grams had been called out of town again and left Prue in charge Piper wasn’t sure if her grandmother would be comfortable with just Piper and Phoebe at home alone so Prue and her thought it would be better if they didn’t tell her that she was going away for the weekend. Piper took a deep breath before she answered the phone. It was worse then her grandmother it was her sister. “Prue hi” she tried to sound cheerful. Piper started twisting the phone cord in her fingers. “Things are going great we are having so much fun” Piper lied. “No Prue I am not lying to you” Piper paused and held the phone away from her ear. Prue got so loud when she was annoyed or angry. After a five minute lecture and numerous warning about lying and if she found out Piper finally got Prue off the phone. “Great now I am in trouble too” she said with a huge sigh. She looked at her watch it had been over an hour since she left Phoebe upstairs. “Well I am a lot calmer hopefully she is too” Piper said as she made her way up the stairs.
Phoebe was curled up in a bawl looking through one of her favorite pictures books when Piper came. Piper sat down on the end of Phoebe’s bed. “Hi sweetie are you calmer now so we can talk” Phoebe nodded and set her book down. “You spanked me” Phoebe said quietly. Piper nodded “I know I did baby but can you honestly tell me why I shouldn’t have” Phoebe shook her head “but you have never spanked me before” Piper sighed “Yes that is true. But what would have happened if Prue had been home and she saw what you did?” Phoebe shrugged her shoulders. Piper nodded “I bet you do know” Phoebe nodded “She would have yelled at me and spanked me really really hard then grounded me for like three weeks” Piper nodded “That’s right” Piper crawled over to Phoebe and leaned into the pillows. She patted her lap. When Phoebe didn’t move Piper pulled her into her lap. Piper felt her relax into her. “I am not sorry I spanked you Phoebe what you did was wrong and you know that. You are way better then what I saw down stairs” Phoebe nodded “I am sorry I was bad” Piper kissed the top of her sisters head “I am sorry you were too and I am sorry that now I am in trouble with Prue” Phoebe looked up her brown eyes filling with shock. “You are why” Piper smiled “Because she called and I didn’t tell her what you did and she thinks I was lying to her” Phoebe cringed “I am sorry Piper but are you going to tell her” Piper shook her head “No, as long as you promise to be good for me too. I may not be Prue but I still have a say on the way you act” Phoebe nodded “I’ll be good for you too” Phoebe turned around and straddled Piper so her head could be on her chest. “Piper, you know what one of my favorite things to do is” Piper shook her head while she traced Phoebe’s spine with her finger. “I love listening to your heart beat” Piper kissed Phoebe again. “How about we go down stairs and you can listen to my heart beat while we watch a movie” Phoebe nodded and got up so Piper could get up. She held her arms out to Piper so she could pick her up. Piper happily did so.
The girls went down and fell asleep watching a movie. Prue came in quietly early the next morning. She noticed her sisters asleep on the couch Phoebe on Piper’s chest. Prue bent down and placed her hand on Piper’s forehead. Piper’s eyes fluttered open. Prue put her fingers to her mouth “Shh don’t wake Phoebe up. It started raining in the mountains so we came home early. But it is still really early so go back to sleep I just wanted you to know I was home. I am going to take a nice HOT shower and take a nap. When we get up later we can all go get ice cream or something and you can tell me what you guys did this weekend” Piper nodded. Prue smiled at her. She ran her hand through Piper’s hair then Phoebe’s. She kissed Piper’s nose “Get a little more sleep sweet girl” Piper closed her eyes and was asleep in seconds.
About four hours later. Phoebe happily held onto both of her sister’s hands as they walked down. When they would get to a step the older girls would count “1 2 3” Then pick Phoebe up by her arms and swing her over it. Phoebe would start giggling earning big smiles from her sisters. The girls went to their favorite ice scream store. Prue scooped Phoebe up so she could see all the flavors. The two were looking at ice cream flavors when there was a jingle of the bells telling the store owner he had more customers. Piper cringed when she saw that fat lady and Jenny walk in. “Oh no mommy their here” Jenny said with a snarl. Prue turned around and looked at the lady and her daughter at the door. She scanned the parlor and besides her and her sisters there was no one else in the shop. The lady came up to Prue. “Are these two hellions yours” Prue used her free arm to pull Piper to her. “Yes and my I help you” “I would like you to know that beast in your arms attacked my Jenny in the park yesterday and that one” she said pointing her finger at Piper. “She is a rude mouthy girl who obviously has no control over that monster” Piper was getting mad. “And I see that you are still giving your daughter sugar instead of taking her for a walk or swimming or something to burn of the fat she has” The lady gasped and Prue’s jaw was on the ground. “Piper” She hissed she quickly put her hand over her sister’s mouth. “Look I am sorry about that but my sister would not talk to someone like that with out a good reason. I don’t know what’s going on here but I would like it if you left these girls alone and worry about your own daughter” Prue removed her hand from her sister’s mouth a little too soon. “Yeah you and your daughter should really join weight watchers because your fat is going to kill you” Prue couldn’t believe this was coming out of her sweet sister’s mouth. She smacked Piper’s bottom as hard as she could. Sending her the signal that was not ok “You say you’re sorry to her right now” Piper now had silent tears coming down her cheeks. “SORRY” Piper hissed spraying spit on the lady. “They need such a tanning. I want your mother’s phone number” Prue licked her lips. “When you find the number to heaven let me know because I want to talk to her too” The lady actually blushed. “Ok Jenny lets go get ice cream from some where else” Jenny nodded and took her moms hand as they left. Prue looked from one sister to the other. “I am going to order our ice cream while you to go find a good booth. Then we are going to have a nice long talk” Prue said as she handed Phoebe to Piper. Piper and Phoebe made there way to a booth. Phoebe looked glum but Piper started gigging “That was fun” Phoebe looked at her as if she had gone crazy “I am sure you won’t think so once Prue gets done with you. You were so rude to her. But thank you for standing up for me” Piper kissed her cheeks. “I would always stand up for you” “But Piper you got smacked” Piper smiled “So Prue still loves me she’ll get over it besides that women started it” Phoebe laughed “You sound like me now” Piper giggled to. “Hey I am not as innocent as you think I am. We are a lot more alike then you would know. We did have the same parents” Phoebe started laughing. “Piper you are so cool” She said wrapping her arms around her sister’s neck. “I love you” “Aww babe I love you too” “I am glad you are my big sister. I think I have the best two big sisters in the world. Phoebe said just as Prue came over carrying their ice creams. Prue smiled as she handed them their ice cream. “I think I have the two best little sisters” Prue tired to keep a straight face “Ok guys tell me why that mean tub of lard and her daughter hate you” Phoebe’s jaw was on the ground. Piper’s eyes were wide. But then she started laughing. “Ok if you tell us how much fun YOU had this weekend” She said raising her eye brows up and down. Phoebe nodded “Yeah Prue” Prue looked confused for a second then started blushing really bad. “Deal” she said with a giggle. Piper and Phoebe exchanged a smile between them as they started to fill Prue in on their park experience.
