STORY 2

D: don't own em

Note: story set when Piper going out with Dan (sorry). I am trying to be as accurate as I can with the disease

It was morning in the Haliwell manor. Phoebe walked quietly down the hall, heading to Pipers room to check on her older sister. For the past couple of days Piper had caught a bad case of the flu. "Piper" Phoebe said softly as she opened her sisters door a crack, letting a thin beam of light enter the darkened room. "Mph" was the response from Piper who sat up in bed and opened her eyes. "Hey sweetie" Phoebe said brightly, opening the door further, letting more of the bright morning light shine into the room. "Arg! Light! Phoebe shut the door!" Piper exclaimed in an irritated voice, shielding her eyes. "Whoops, sorry Piper" Phoebe said, shutting the door quickly, moving to sit next to Piper on the bed. "So, how are you feeling this morning?" Phoebe asked, wrapping an arm around Piper, who rested her head on Phoebe's shoulder. "Well, I have a headache" she said, stifling a yawn "I'm stiff and I'm tired". Phoebe looked at the middle sister in concern, placing a hand on her forehead "and… you still have a fever! Ok I will be back in a sec, I am just going to get you a paracetamol and a washcloth to cool you down Ok sweetie" Phoebe said, jumping up and heading in the general direction of the bathroom. Piper let out a sigh, and lay back down on the bed, trying to ignore the throbbing pain in her head and the stiffness in her back and neck. A little while later, Prue entered the room carrying a tray with a cool washcloth, a glass of water and a couple of paracetamol on it. "Hey… youre not Phoebe… youre Prue" Piper said confused, sitting up, a frown on her face. Prue smiled at this as she set down the tray on the bedside table "no, I guess I'm not. Phoebe just noticed that she was late for school, she had to run. Looks like your stuck with me for the day kiddo." She said, propping pillows up behind her younger sister so that she could sit up. "Ok take these, they should help with the fever and the headache" she said, holding the glass of water out to Piper. Piper looked at the glass, confused for a moment, but then takes it, but almost immediately she drops it, water cascading over the bead spread, and splashing onto her pajamas. "Someone's not quite awake yet are they?" Prue said with a forced smile, grabbing a tissue from the box beside the bed and beginning to dab at the water, which seemed to be seeping into everything. Piper looked blankly at her sister, tilting her head to one side in confusion "what do you mean I'm not awake?" she asked, her voice inquisitive. "You just spilt the drink silly" Prue said, continuing with her futile attempt to soak up the water "jeez, I'm gonna have to get some paper towels for this" she muttered. "What drink… what spill?" Piper said, her voice now worried. At this, Prue's head snapped up, looks of worry and fear for her sister on her face. "Okay Piper, come with me, we are going straight to the doctor!" Prue said grabbing her younger sister's hand and basically pulling her out of bed. Piper takes a step, but as soon as she placed all her weight on her left leg, she fell to the ground, still clutching firmly to Prue's hand. "Piper!" Prue exclaimed kneeling on the ground beside her sister. "I'm okay, I'm okay, my leg's just fallen asleep" Piper said, trying to stand up again, but falling. "Scratch the doctor, were going straight to hospital" Prue said, mostly to herself, using her powers to lift Piper into the air and carried her quickly down the stairs. When they reached the front door she placed Piper back down again, and supported her weight as she moved her to the car. Half way their Piper began to struggle "I don't need to go to the hospital!" she said angrily. "Yes you do! Your sick!" Prue said, continuing to pull Piper towards the car. "But I'm wearing my pajamas! What if Dan sees" Piper said, continuing to struggle against her sister. "He will see you if you don't get in the car!" Prue said loudly, beginning to panic about the state her sister was in. Once they were finally in the car Piper struck up the argument again "Why do I have to go to the hos…" Piper trailed off, her eyes glazing over, her mouth dropping open slightly, here body beginning to convulse. "You still there" Prue said, turning away from the road to look at her sister. "Oh my god! Piper!" Prue exclaimed, her fear for her sister growing even further. "Piper!" she yelled, taking one hand off the wheel, grabbing her sisters shoulder and shaking her gently. The only response she got was a small and fearful whimper.

§§§§

"Hang in there Piper" Prue said, realising that she would be unable to help her sister, she hit the accelerator of the car, knowing that she needed to get Piper to the hospital urgently.
Once she arrived, she hastily parked her car, jumping out of her seat and running around to Pipers (who was still convulsing violently) side of the car, opening the door and quickly unbuckling her seatbelt. Prue used her power to lift Piper up; placing her arms underneath her sister's arms and legs so it looked like she was carrying her, running her to the emergency room.
The moment that Prue arrives in there with Piper she is immediately spotted by the doctor on duty, who runs over, followed by two orderlies wheeling a gurney (is that what the beds on wheels are called?), which Prue gently placed Piper on. "What happened?" The doctor asked, as they rushed Piper to the ER. "Well she has been sick with the flu for the last two days and this morning she seemed to be worse and she spilt water on herself and she did not know that it had spilt, and then forgot that she had a glass of water." Prue paused to take a quick breath. "Then, she got out of bed and fell down and she said that her leg had fallen asleep and she did not know why I was taking her to hospital and then she started convulsing in the car" Prue gushed out beginning to cry. "Ok thankyou" the doctor said, "we will take it from here, go to the nurses desk and she will give you forms which you need to fill in. We will inform you when anything happens," he said, pushing through the emergency doors, leaving the sobbing Prue behind.
Once Prue had filled out the forms, she decided that she should call Phoebe and tell her what had happened. Standing up, she headed towards the pay phone, fishing money out of her pocket. Putting the money in the phone she dialed Phoebe's mobile, only to find that it was turned off. Cursing under her breath Prue reached for the telephone book underneath the phone, and looked up the colleges phone number, dialing it when she found it.

Phoebe was sitting in class, writing a note to Piper

Dear Pipe,
Hi :) I'm in class and I'm bored so I have decided to write to you! You should be honored! Well anyway did I mention I was bored? So are there any cool bands going to be performing at p3 you haven't told me about. How are you and Dan going? I need detail sista! Why can't I have a super cute super nice guy in my life! I'm telling you Piper Halliwell, you are the luckiest women on earth! Well I am going to stop writing now (talk about a short letter, sorry Pipe!)… And decorate YAY!
Bye
Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of love from…

PHEEBS

Phoebe then proceeds to draw p3 symbols all over the page along with various other squiggles and symbols. "Phoebe Halliwell" the professors voice startles Phoebe, who jumps about a mile, her pen drawing a massive blue line through the letter and knocking several books off the table. A small ripple of laughter goes through the class. 'This is it' Phoebe thought 'he is going to humiliate me in front of the class… guaranteed'. Steeling herself for the worst, Phoebe answered "Yes" she said, trying to sound as calm as possible looking directly at the professor, whose face was grim. "There was a message sent to you from a Prue." He said his voice grave. Phoebe gulped, preparing herself for the rest. "She said that Piper was in San Francisco General Hospital, and that you are to go there immediately." He finished his eyes full of concern. A startled murmur rippled over the class, all eyes were on Phoebe. "Ok, thankyou" Phoebe said, hastily grabbing her books and running out of the classroom.
