Disclaimer: The Charmed Characters are the property of Aaron Spelling and Constance Burge. I just borrow them for your enjoyment and my writing addiction.

Another little out of the box for me. But this one came with a price, and not just for me.. Every now and then writers need to broaden their horizons. So a friend and and I decided to do a swap so to speak. I write her fav character, though in her case she has two so this is only one. And she writes mine... Enjoy..

What About Me?

"Grams can you help me with this?" Pipers' 14 yr. old voice carried through to the kitchen of the old Victorian Manor she lived in with her Grams and two sisters.

Penny made her way into the dining room and looked down at Pipers papers, "Oh sweetie I wish I could, but math was never my strong point in school. Maybe you should ask Prue when she comes home."

"Ok." Piper skipped down to the next question hoping it would be a little easier.

She understood most things in math but every now and then the questions would cause her to think to hard and she would get flustered.

"Grams. We're home." Prue called out knowing their Grams would be in the kitchen.

Piper came around the corner, "Prue thank god, I need your help with some homework."

"Sure Piper, just give me a second to get Miss Phoebe settled in a hot bath."

Piper looked at Phoebe and noticed her youngest sister didn't look so great, "What happened?"

"Soccer game. She took the ball in the stomach."

"Phoebe you ok?" Piper asked with concern

"I'll live. Can't say the same for the bitch that hit me though." she answered as she started for the stairs.

"Phoebe!" Prue scolded her sister as she guided her upstairs.

Piper watched from the bottom as she went back to her homework.

&-&-&

Later that night Piper once again sat trying to finish her homework. She was still working on that same problem she asked Grams for help on. "Prue?"

"Piper?"

"You said you would help me."

"Yeah just give me a second will you. I just wanna check on Phoebe. I think she is coming down with something."

Once again Piper watched as her older sister ran to Phoebe.

Prue came in behind Piper and wrapped her arms around her sister, as she rested her chin on her shoulder. "So. What's got you stumped Miss Genius of the family?"

"Nothing I got it." Piper replied as she closed her book and started to put them away.

"Ok then." Prue said as she started for the kitchen.

Piper watched as Prue left and went to the kitchen. She gathered her things and went upstairs to the room she shared with Phoebe. Sitting at the desk she pulled out her books and once again starred down at the yet unanswered question.

Piper woke up the next day and saw her little sister still in bed. Sighing to herself she shock her sister awake as she started for the shower. She had long heard Prue coming out of the bathroom and pushing their door open. Something she did every morning.

Piper came from the bathroom and walked back to her room. "Phoebe get up." She nearly shouted as she shock her sister bed

"No. I don't want to go to school."

"Phoebe get up now." Piper yelled at her sister as she started to get dressed.

Phoebe slowly made her way down the hall to the bathroom not looking forward to the cold shower she knew she was in for.

As she stood in the shower she felt her energy wash down the drain with the water that was running over her. And as she stood there longer she turned the water hotter as she felt a chill coming around her, but she got nothing but cold. "One day in this house I am gonna get hot water." She said to no one as she emerged from the shower quickly drying of and pulling her robe around her.

She felt terrible but didn't want to say anything. She had a big game after school that she couldn't miss. Even after her soccer game yesterday she still felt the tenderness of where the ball hit her. But she knew she would have the final revenge as they were playing the same school again that afternoon. And Phoebe always said; Payback was a bitch.

Piper made her way through the school as she bumped into someone. "Oh sorry Mark."

"Hey its ok Piper. If my little sister was playing for the school, and to get a chance for us to make the playoffs for the first time in ten years, I wouldn't be seeing where is was going either. "

"Thanks Mark." Piper replied, though her mind wasn't on Phoebe and her game, it was on other things that were going on in her life.

"You going to the game?"

Piper looked at Mark and saw something in his yes she hadn't seen before, "I wasn't really thinking of it. Why?"

"Thought I would save you a seat."

Piper was struck for a loss of words as Mark stood before her waiting for an answer. "Yeah I was going. I mean it is my little sister right?"

"Yeah of course. So, I'll see you later." He started away before sending her a quick wink with his left eye.

Piper leaned against her locker as she caught his wink. She found herself lost in her own thought of her and Mark she didn't even hear the voice behind her.

"Piper?"

"What? Phoebe what do you want?"

"I saw you spaced and thought I would bring you back down. Now are you coming to me game or what?"

"I guess." She answered as she started after her sister. But her mind was turning over the recent events that had just happened. Mark was going to save her a seat.
