Mirror, Mirror
Setting: Post Brain Drain.
Phoebe is alone in her bed, though from the looks of the other side of the bed, Cole had spent the night. As the alarm goes off, Phoebe stretches and turns off the alarm. She turns to wake Cole but pouts when she finds him gone. "It just figures." She pulls a silk robe from the end of the bed to cover herself and gets out of bed. Piling her hair on top of her head, she leaves the room, heading downstairs to see if Cole is there and to see who else is awake.
Reaching the kitchen, she enters and sees Cole trying to cook breakfast. Phoebe can see flour and eggs spilled all over the counters and smells something burning. "Umm, Cole, honey, you do know that Piper is going to totally freak out that you are trying to ruin her kitchen, don't you?" Cole turns from the stove and seems to have been attacked by a flour demon. Phoebe tries not to laugh as she wonders just who won. "Dammit Phoebe! I was trying to surprise you with breakfast in bed." "That is really sweet of you honey, really it is, but usually I just grab some coffee and a bowl of cereal. You don't have to go through all that trouble for me(looks around the kitchen, thinking to herself *and its definately going to be alot of trouble when Piper sees this mess*). She goes to the coffee pot and pours a cup. Taking a sip, she nearly chokes on the thick syrup. "Cole, how much water did you use?" "I just used two cups, I didn't figure you would drink more than that. Why? Is something wrong?" Phoebe sets the cup down and moves to embrace her lover. "No, hon, everything is fine, I just dont think that I am terribly humgry this morning, is all." Cole frowns at this and looks down at the woman he loves. "Are you sure? I can fix something else..." He is interupted by a shriek coming from the doorway. Piper is standing there, with a look of total disbelief on her face. "What the hell happened to my kitchen? And the answer had better include someone being attacked by some supernatural force!" Moving in front of Cole, Phoebe tries to explain. "Umm, Piper, Cole was just trying to fix breakfast for me, things must have gotten a little out of hand, that's all." Cole looks like he would rather be fighting the Source than facing Piper right now. He manages to stammer..."Listen Piper, I will take care of cleaning it all, I just wanted to do something nice for Phoebe. I guess that cooking really isn't my strong suit." Glaring at him, Piper mumbles "Obviously! What no cooking classes at Demon U?" She shakes her head, "Never mind, I will take care of it, just get out of my kitchen, so I can get to work." Relief floods Cole's face as Phoebe decides that discretion is the better part of valor and grabbing his hand, drags him from the kitchen. As they rush out, they can hear Piper spitting the left over coffee out and yelling, "What is that supposed to be, varnish?"
Piper mutters to herself as she starts the herculean task of cleaning the kitchen. "I will vanquish him, we still have the potion here somewhere. No, I will explode him, starting with his feet and work up from there. Phoebe will understand, it simply had to be done for the good of everyone!" She continues on in this vein as Leo orbs into the kitchen. "Good morning, sweetheart!" Piper spins on her heel and glares at him. Seeing the look on his wife's face and taking in the disaster surrounding them. "What happened here? Honey, its sweet of you to want to cook for me, but I've already eaten." "Leo, if you value our marriage at all, leave now or I won't be held responsible for what happens." As Leo orbs out quickly, Piper snarls, "Men!"
Paige passes Phoebe and Cole on her way down the stairs. "Morning, guys!" Phoebe looks at her younger sister and tries to warn her about Piper. "Umm, Paige, you might want to skip the kitchen this morning. Piper is in there cleaning up after Cole and she isn't in the best of moods." "Come on, Phoebe, how bad could it be?" Cole looks distinctively nervous," Well right now, we have been banished from the kitchen and i am sure that Piper is in there right now, planning how she is going to vanquish me! I am sure that it is going to involve alot of pain and torture." Paige laughs as she continues down the stairs. "Really, Cole, you are being silly. Piper is one of the most level headed people that I know, she is not going to vanquish you for making a little mess in the kitchen." Paige continues on to the kitchen, smiling to herself and being way to cheerful for so early in the morning. She reaches the doorway and takes in the disaster that is Coles attempt at cooking. *Um, maybe I was wrong, Piper is going to vanquish Cole, alot!* Seeing her sister, hard at work, Paige decides to lend a hand, hoping that it will help them bond further as sisters. Looking around her, Paige holds up a hand and says "dishes", orbign them to her and then to the sink. Startled, Piper looks up at her youngest sister. "Paige I think that orbing dishes qualifies as personal gain. I really appreciate the help, but I can handle it." "Technically, since Cole is a demon, this could be seen as dealing with a demonic attack, so no personal gain in that, Piper." Grinning to herself, Paige continues on, "besides, its good practice for my powers and we are bonding which makes the power of three, that much stronger!" Laughing, Piper, brushes her hair back out of her eyes. "Are you sure that you majored in social work in college and not in pre-law?" With Pipers foul mood dispelled, the sisters continue cleaning the kitchen.
