Hey, I decided to re-write this story. I feel like I can make this story much better with more details and better writing. I can tell how much I have improved from the time I first wrote this story, which was back in 2006 and it is now 2014. Eight years really does make a difference. I am also hoping to gain some more fans for this story. So please enjoy.
How Melinda and Rebecca Met part 1
"Come on, Melinda! You need to get ready for your first day of school!" Piper Halliwell called out to her youngest child.
"I'm coming!" Melinda Halliwell screeched back, annoyed.
She grumbled under her breath as she rummaged through her pile of clothes in the middle of her room that was once her Aunt Phoebe's. She finally found what she wanted to wear and pulled out a pair of black caprice and a simple white tank top. She pulled off her pajamas and threw on her clothes. Standing in front of her mirror, she ran a hand through damp hair making it curl over her shoulder. Her lush of brown hair could rival her mother's. As soon as she was satisfied with her looks, she picked up her empty bag and went out the door.
Footsteps thundered down the stairs as Melinda headed towards the kitchen for some breakfast. She thumped into her chair as her mother put the cereal in front of her.
"Bout time you got here lazy butt," Chris Halliwell chimed.
"Shut up," Melinda said.
"Kids," Piper warned her two children. "Christopher, you need to hurry. You're going to late."
Chris nodded as he pulled the spoon out of his mouth. He stuck a tongue out at his sister and orbed out in a shower of blue orbs.
"Why can't I go with Wyatt and Chris to Magic School?" Melinda asked.
"We've talked about this before, Melinda. Your father and I think you're not ready for it just yet," Piper said as she looked at her. "Please don't ask me again when you know the answer to it."
"But Ma, it's not fair!"
"Fair or not, you are still not going," Piper responded.
Melinda sighed and leaned back into her chair. "Is it cause I don't have any powers like the golden boys?"
Piper opened her mouth, but Melinda beat her to it.
"Don't bother," Melinda said as she stood up, "I'm going to be late. I'll see you later."
Piper nodded as Melinda left the kitchen. She grabbed her leather jacket and Chris's car keys before she left the house for school. Since Chris had graduated from school and no longer needed a car to go anywhere, Melinda was allowed to use it. Fifteen minutes later had her parking the car in the school parking lot.
She walked into the school and into the main office where she picked up her schedule for the year. She left the office without another word. She was so focused on her schedule that she wasn't watching where she was going and she bumped into a hard object. Melinda fell backwards to the ground.
"I am so sorry! Are you alright?" A voice said from above her.
Melinda looked up to see a girl looking at her horrified. Her blonde hair was chopped as if she cut it herself, and her clothes were mismatched. The young girl leaned down and grabbed her arm and helped her up.
"I'm fine, thanks," Melinda said with a smile.
"Again, I'm sorry," she said with her own smile.
"Don't bother apologizing, it wasn't your fault," Melinda said. "It's mine. I wasn't watching where I was going."
"Oh, okay, well here," the girl said as she gave Melinda her schedule back.
"Thanks, I'm Melinda Halliwell," she introduced herself and stuck her hand out.
"Rebecca Smith," Rebecca smiled and took her hand.
As soon as they grabbed hold of each other's hand, a spark of electricity ran through both hands and instantly they pulled back with a cry.
"Ow!" Both girls said.
Melinda looked at her hand and her stomach rolled. She turned as she put her hand on her mouth and ran towards the girl's bathroom. Rebecca followed her with her hand on her mouth. They reached the toilets in time to empty their stomach. Melinda finished first and flushed the toilet. She turned on the water faucet at the sink and washed her face as Rebecca flushed the toilet.
Melinda looked in the mirror and her jaw dropped. Behind her, Rebecca stared as Melinda grew whiskers and her body grew smaller. Soon she was the size of a small creature. Then almost as quickly, Melinda turned back into her human form. She had transformed into a mouse
"What the hell!?" Rebecca cried. "You stole my power!"
Melinda stared at her in shock.
