Paige awoke with a start and groaned, pulling a pillow over her head. She hated mornings. It didn't make sense to get up early when there wasn't a possibility of truly being awake until noon anyway. Sighing, she resigned herself to getting up and rolled out of bed, feet hitting the floor with a loud thump. For a few minutes, she busied herself with attempting to find clothes for the day, then stopped to listen for the usual morning sounds. Nothing. That was strange. Quickly she abandoned her search for an outfit and checked her clock. 5:00? In the morning? That was next to impossible. She could only remember a handfull of times when she'd woken up that early, and none of them had been voluntary. Shrugging, she walked over to her nightstand and check her watch. Maybe the power had outed last night, restarted the clock at 12:00. Her watch read the same and she set it down in disgust. She didn't have to be up for two hours. Climbing back into bed, Paige forced herself to relax again. So much for that idea. She knew it would pointless to try and sleep and decided to take advantage of her early awakening. Hot water.
"Morning sunshine," Paige chirped as Phoebe walked into the kitchen, "Coffee's ready if you want some."
"Paige?!," Phoebe said, surprised, "What are you doing up? Unless..." Paige glanced up from her coffee to give Phoebe a questioning look. Phoebe smiled. "Unless you just got in, of course." Paige scoffed, looking slightly offended.
"Believe it or not I can get up early without having a one night stand first," Paige shot back, her words breathed in a soft hiss.
"I just thought...you know, with Glenn in town now and all...," Phoebe trailed, realizing she'd hit another nerve. Paige leaped from her chair, stalking towards the kitchen door.
"For your information, we are just friends," she said icily over her shoulder.
"Woah, Paige," she said, "Hey, look, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have assumed anything would happen."
"No, it's ok. Sorry for freaking out on you. I'm just, not sure where Glenn and I stand," Paige interrupted. Phoebe smiled sympathetic, reaching out for a hug, which Paige accepted.
"So, you are finally admitting that you want to be more than just friends?," Phoebe asked softly, barely containing a knowing smile.
"No. That's just it. I don't want to be more than friends. I'm sure he doesn't...It's just sometimes, when he looks at me...," Paige stopped and sighed, as confused as ever.
"Hey guys, what's up?," Piper asked, walking into the kitchen. She noticed the upset look on Paige's face and immediately began to worry.
"Glenn?," she implored quietly. Paige looked shocked, then narrowed her eyes.
"Did everyone get some kind of memo but me?," she demanded unhappily. Piper looked taken aback, then softened her expression.
"We're sisters, Paige, we can tell when something, or in this case, someone, is bothering you," Piper answered. Paige felt like wiping the look off of her face with some kind of rude, flippant statement, but she knew Piper was right. It was bothering her. Instead of getting into a deep conversation, though, she struggled to lighten the mood.
"Well, you guys act like we're talking about getting married, which, if I may point out, will never happen," she joked, smiling. Piper and Phoebe exchanged looks.
"Right. Uh huh. That's what I thought too. Before I met Leo," Piper commented. Paige shook her head vigorously.
"Nope. I am going to stay single and happy all my life," Paige insisted, laughing.
"What's wrong with being un-single and happy?," Piper demanded. Phoebe gave her a wierd look. "I mean married, attached, coupled," she corrected to appease Phoebe.
"Well for one, you have to worry about the bad habits you have getting on the other person's nerves. If you jsut have off and on relationships, you don't really have to wonder whether or not the way you flip your hairs gets on his nerves," Paige explained.
"Paige, if the guy loves you, he would love the way you flip your hair," Phoebe pointed out. Paige sighed and rolled her eyes.
"I would rather stay young and have lots of relationships, then do the whole "let's grow old together" routine," Paige told them. Piper pretended to be offended, then laughed.
"You don't mean relationSHIPS, you mean relations," Phoebe teased, much to Piper's dismay.
"I don't need to hear this," Piper muttered, eliciting a laugh from Paige.
"And there's something wrong with this because....?," Paige wondered.
"EW! Paige, seriously!," Piper protested loudly, desperately trying not to get mental images. Paige giggled, and Phoebe joined her.
"Alright, back to the original point," Paige relented, "I don't want to get married, and probably never will."
"I think Glenn is already planning the wedding, Paige," Phoebe joked. Paige sobered and Piper sent Phoebe a glowering look. Phoebe arched her eyebrows in the innocent 'What'd I do' look.
"Look, Glenn is a friend. You just...don't date your friends," Paige explained, growing tired of the subject.
"Because dating strangers is a superior idea," Piper commented softly. Paige glared at her, the sisterly mood completely shatterered.
"Drop it guys," she spat and stormed out of the kitchen. Piper and Phoebe looked at each other and sighed.
"Should I..?," Phoebe started. Piper shook her head.
"No, I'll go."
