“Hey Prue”
“How did you know it was me?”
Phoebe Halliwell smiled down the phone “Wild guess …..”
“Is everything alright?”
“Yeah …just settling down to watch a movie”
“I’ve been thinking …”
“Mmmmm”
“I may have been a bit hard on you earlier ….”
“May have been?”
“Ok ….ok .. I was …I’m sorry honey”
“It’s ok … no worries”
“Look if you still want to go to that party you can … it’s not to late I’ll even pick you up later and bring you home ….”
“No ..no its fine … thanks anyway but I’m in my PJ’s and can’t be bothered getting ready now ….”
“If you’re sure ….”
“I’m sure…..”
“Ok then, I guess I’ll see you later …. Shouldn’t be too late”
“Ok … and Prue?”
“Yeah?”
“Thanks for the call ….”
“You’re welcome …. Love you honey ….”
Phoebe felt the tears prick the back of her eyes, the earlier argument had been one of their most vicious “I know you do ………….Love you too Prue”
Putting the phone down Phoebe looked slightly guilty as she looked around the room.
“What was that about?”
Phoebe gave a half smile “My big sisters guilty conscience, she grounded me and now I guess she feels bad …. You know it being Saturday night and all, poor little Phoebe………. home alone, wearing PJ’s watching some soppy movie ….not complaining………”
A chorus of laughter rang out “AS IF!”
Phoebe giggled “Well! Come on …. Crank it up! …. We haven’t got long!”
++++++++++++++++
“So? Were you right?”
Prue laughed good naturedly at the middle sister “Of course I was!”
Piper grinned back “So how do you know she was having a party?”
“Ohhh please! I just do ……. I know that kid inside out! Besides I overheard her on the phone”
Piper giggled “So how much longer you gonna give her?”
“Told her I wouldn’t be late …. “
Piper laughed again “You are evil …..”
“I know! Good isn’t it? …. She’ll probably start kicking them out and tidying up within the hour ….”
Piper smirked and shook her head “I don’t know whose worse!”
+++++++++++++++++
It was some time later that the two older Halliwells walked into the Manor, Prue shook her head at Piper and pointed to the sofa …….
“She’s good …. I’ve got to admit………….. she is good …”
Walking over to the sofa, Prue carefully removed the bowl of half eaten popcorn form Phoebes grasp and shook her youngest sister awake.
“Huhh?” Phoebe rubbed at her eyes gradually regaining her senses “Prue?”
“Yeah …you should be in bed honey”
“Mmmmff … must have dozed off watching the film …..”
Phoebe was too tired to notice the look of amusement on both of her sisters faces.
“Must have …” Prue pulled her kid sister to her feet and led her towards the stairs.
“You have a good time?” Phoebe still sounded groggy.
“Not really …. I couldn’t stop thinking of you ….stuck in on your own on a Saturday night”
“Oh …I .”
“Prueeeee” Piper shook her head at her older sister, she knew Prue would bask in their little sisters guilt.
“I was alright … honest …. It was my own fault, don’t feel bad …”
Prue successfully managed to hide the smile that was struggling to break out.
“Prue I’m sorry ….. really I am”
Prue felt herself being pulled into a hug, she grinned at Piper over Phoebes shoulder before wrapping her own arms around the youngster.
“It’s ok Pheebes,” Prue kissed her little sister and smiled “Go on get to bed …..”
“Night Prue … night Pipe”
“Night honey”
“Night Pheebes ….”
Prue waited until Phoebe had disappeared up the stairs before turning to Piper “This is so cool … look the house is tidier than when we went out! And now her conscience is kicking in I’ll be able to milk this for days!”
Piper playfully smacked her sister on the arm “Said it before and I’ll say it again …. YOU…………. are evil!”
