Disclaimer: I do not now nor have I ever nor will I ever own Charmed.
A/n (1/21/08): I had so much fun writing "What's in a Name?" that I decided to do another drabble piece. Plus I made a goal that I would have 23 Charmed stories by my 23rd birthday (which is today--hence the birthday theme of this chapter). This piece will consist of scenes that all take place in the kitchen of the manor. I really hope everyone enjoys this!

Scenes in a Kitchen
A story by Ryeloza
One: Birthday Cake
Prue remembers the birthdays of her early childhood through pictures her mother and grandmother
and probably her father, though she doesn't acknowledge this
took. Cakes with rainbows and hearts and flowers and other very girly things constructed with thick icing that she doesn't really like that much.
She's more of a cake girl. Icing is so frivolous.
All of the birthdays before her eighth kind of blur together; a hodgepodge of memories involving streamers and singing and toys long since gone. But she does remember her eighth.
Grams made the cake
Grams always made the cake, this was nothing new
and it was chocolate with white icing and big pink roses on it. She put it down in the center of the kitchen table all lit up with yellow birthday candles and she and Piper
Phoebe was still too young
sang, "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!"
But there was something missing in the song
her mother's voice
and she almost cried from the sadness of it all.
