Phoebe tossed the book she was reading down and stared at her niece
"Please?" her niece begged
"Oh alright" she smiled she checked her watch it was seven o clock Paige would be home any minute and Piper in about three hours now that the kids where in magic school things were certainly starting to become more laid back in the Halliwell household Piper and Leo's boys Wyatt now 14 and Chris 13 Then there was Paige daughters Poppy 11 and her little sister Petal who was 9 Wyatt Chris attended the local school Baker high where Piper herself and their late sister Prue had also studied Poppy was due to join it too after the summer holidays Petal however was still stuck in Primary school and Phoebe pitied her she knew just how she felt one minute your sister's are in your school sticking up for you next minute wham! They've moved up to high school and your all alone after Petal was born Paige had made a decision with a little help from her 'heavenly' husband Kyle to bind their daughters powers at least until they where sixteen Piper and Leo who had decided they could handle it soon followed suit after witnessing first hand how hard it was for their boys growing up they were still witnessing magic every day it was a part of who they were and who they would become it was just that they could now grow up with a half normal childhood Phoebe was knocked from her line of thought by the door banging
"Hey mom!" Poppy ran up hugging her mother Paige grinned
"Do me a favour honey go make mum a cup of coffee?" she said Poppy winked and ran into the kitchen Phoebe turned to her younger niece
"If it's ok with mum you can come with" Phoebe said she smiled
"Mum! Can I go to P3 with Phoebe tomorrow?" Petal asked her mum her eyes shining in excitement
"What for?" Paige asked Phoebe
"I'm interviewing the riley twins from that new show you know the ones from that new show she's obsessed with" Phoebe said Paige nodded
"Sure but remember your back at school day after" she reminded her daughter Petal sighed
"I know" he toddled away to her room which she shared with her sister Poppy came up a few minutes after giving her aunt Phoebe and mum cups of coffee Chris came belting in almost knocking his cousin over
"Watch it!" Poppy said
"Sorry her Pet can I borrow your Britney CD?" he asked both girls stared at him
"Mel wants it" he defended himself
"What ever Chris it's next to my bed" Petal pointed vaguely in the direction Chris smiled his thanks grabbed it and left
"Are Chris and Mel going out?" Poppy asked she had inherited her mother's nose for gossip
"Yeah I think it's two months next Saturday" Petal said she grabbed a magazine and flicked through it Poppy looked disgusted
"And you didn't tell me?" she asked
"It didn't seem important" Petal sniffed Poppy opened her mouth to argue but her Phone rang she snatched up the new pink flip
"Oh my god seriously?" she said her voice filled with excitement
"I'll be there" she said scribbling something down she scooted off to ask her mum something Petal rolled her eyes she heard a knock at the window
"That's weird," she thought seeing as her window was on the second floor she opened the curtains and couldn't believe it she pulled open the window
"Hiya!" she squealed the boy waved back he was 13 and Petal had the biggest crush on him
"I was wondering if you wanna come out"
"With you?" Petal asked
"What?" he asked his brow wriggling into confusion
"Never mind I'll be right down" she said hutting the window she cursed herself she pulled on her new boots and squirted some of Poppy's perfume onto her self and grabbed her house key she'd only been given it by her dad after she'd confided that she thought Wyatt Chris and Poppy didn't want to hang out with her because she was too babyish Kyle had then given her a key in an attempt to cheer her up
"I'm going out," she told her mum
"Be back at half nine" she heard hr mum shout back she slammed the door behind her and ran up to the guy on the bike
"Hey Joey" she smiled
"Hi what's that smell?" he asked Petal blushed
"It's some perfume Poppy sprayed on me"
"Oh it's cool," he said
"Hop on" he edged forwards on his bike it wasn't a motorcycle but he was only 13
Paige dug in the brown carrier bags she'd brought it Poppy walked in slowly
"Did you get my stuff?" she asked Paige nodded she pulled a few things out and threw the bag over
"Lollipops magazines Phone card that was it?" Paige asked her daughter nodded
"Cheers mum" she smiled and buried her head in her new mag's
Wyatt came in
"Paige what time does mum get in?" he asked Paige raised her eyebrows
"In ooh half an hour why?" she asked
"No reason I just need to tell her about a party tonight the whole new school is going" he told her sitting down at the table Paige threw him a bag of sweets
"I know Poppy's going," she told him
"Would you, you know" Paige asked
"Yeah I'll keep an eye on her" Wyatt grinned
"Chris is going too?" Paige asked Wyatt shrugged
"He's too busy with Mel" Wyatt scowled
"Are you Wyatt I don't give a damn about anyone but myself Halliwell actually jealous?" Paige asked almost giggling
"Hey no way…" he began then surrender "Fine maybe a little but he'd my brother you know and he spends all his time with her!" he spat
"Well you have a girlfriend" Paige pointed out
"Yeah but she's on holiday"
"Until when?" Paige asked
"Tonight actually hey you're my aunt not my cousin" Wyatt laughed Paige reached out and ruffled his hair
"What ever go get ready for the party it's already half seven speaking of where's Piper?" Paige asked
Wyatt raced upstairs to get a shower once he was clean his hair still wet he grabbed a pair of jeans and a black tank top he stood in the mirror fixed his hair and then tugged at his left ear puling the ring out he replaced it with a sparkly stud he grinned and knocked on Poppies door
"Hey freshman you ready?" he asked he heard Poppy growl softly she pulled open the door she was wearing a cherry coloured dress that wet perfectly with her brown eyes and dark chocolate hair she was pulling on matching sling backs hurriedly she applied lip gloss and mascara and stepped out twirling Wyatt grinned
"How do I look?" she asked
"If you weren't my cousin I'd date you" Wyatt joked Chris appeared behind them dressed in black trousers and a white t-shirt displaying the logo of his rugby team
"All set?" he asked they both nodded and made their way out Wyatt's best friend Joel who was two years older with a car pulled up beeping
"We're off!" Poppy called Paige came out
"Have fun" she smiled they waved Kyle came in staring as they left
"She's got a new dress," he said
"Well she needed a new look for the party" Paige smiled Kyle sighed
"You spoil her," he told Paige
Petal trotted out a new bag clutched to her side
"I take that back you spoil both of them" he grinned Paige kissed him
"They are my children I have to spoil them" Paige said she grinned and settled next to Phoebe Kyle ran upstairs to get a shower
"I thought you where out?" Phoebe called to Petal who stopped
"I was now I'm back is that a crime?" she asked
"Hey she was just asking" Paige scolded
"What ever I'll be in my room" Petal rolled her eyes and raced upstairs
"Nice room" Joey smiled he was a lot taller than Petal and was wearing a white tank top and jeans unlike the other lad Petal new he worked out a bit at weekends and had gained quite a nice body
"Hey Pet" it seemed everyone had decided that was her nickname Pet she didn't mind Chris Wyatt or Poppy calling her that it was just everyone else well except for Laura Jamie and Joey of course
"Do you like me?" he asked she blushed deciding weather to lie or tell the truth she nodded and shook her head
"Cause I like you a lot" he confided Petals heart was beating at a speed faster than her brain could handle she opened her mouth and attempted to speak all that came out was an unintelligible squeak Joey leaned forwards and kissed her softly she pulled back despite the fact every bone in her body was telling her to kiss him there was a little problem in the form of her sister Poppy who also had a crush on Joey he was her best friend after all she bit her lip nervously
"Are you ok?" Joey whispered Petal nodded screw Poppy she thought but still felt just little bit mean she kissed Joey again suddenly her aunt Piper burst in
"Hey Pet" she stopped dead Petal jumped away from Joey as if he had the bubonic plague
"Never mind" Piper said walking out she closed the door behind her and grinned she walked off to tell Paige Petal's hormones where kicking in
"I think I' better go" Joey said Petal sighed and opened the door he grabbed her hand and she lead him to the bottom opening the door she let him out he turned and planted a soft kiss on her lips Petal grinned and shut the door leaning against it she almost sank to the floor until she heard sniggering the culprit her aunt Phoebe and Piper Her mum was there but she didn't look impressed
"You took a boy into your room and didn't tell me?" Paige said her eyebrows where raised a sure sign she was angry
"I'm sorry I just thought you'd say no" Petal winded even to herself she knew it sounded pathetic
"Next time sweetie just ask me ok?" she asked Petal nodded
"Don't tell Dad she begged" she gave her mum the puppy dogface and Paige nodded
Wyatt looked around the packed room
"Chris!" he shouted trying not to panic
"Where's Poppy?" he asked but his brother was far to busy making out with Mel to care he motioned into the corner and saw Poppy she was dancing madly a crowd of guys around her clapping and egging her on Wyatt could tell she was drunk
"Paige is gonna kill me" he groaned he pushed his way to the front and grabbed his cousin she turned to face him
"Hands off" she slurred her fist connected with his face he flinched slightly but pulled her to the door he checked his watch half one Kyle would be coming to pick them up any time now he took Poppy into an upstairs toilet and poured her a glass of water and splashed some over her she closed her eyes
"O don't go asleep yet" he told her he slapped her face lightly and she woke up gulping down some water before leaning forwards and vomiting onto the floor and all over her shoes
"Ew" Wyatt whispered he sat her back up and wiped her face clean his girlfriend Charlotte came in
"Wyatt we still need to talk" she said she noticed Poppy
"Maybe later I'll come by tomorrow ok?" she asked Wyatt nodded
"Love you," she said
"Yeah me too" Wyatt said distractedly he heard Chris shout up
"Kyle's here!" he yelled Wyatt sighed
"It's your own fault," he told the slumped girl he picked her up and helped her to the car her eyes rolling
"Poppy? Are you ok?" Kyle asked
"Fine call the circus and tell them I'll come back tomorrow ok?" she asked drunkenly Wyatt would have laughed if he wasn't so afraid by the look on Kyle's face
"Kyle" he began
"Just get her in the car" Kyle snapped Chris got in too Leaving Mel behind he too looked worried now the drive home was in silence all except Poppy's snores and sleepy rants about her lost bananas the entered the house Kyle carrying Poppy to find Paige Piper and Phoebe watching TV Paige stood up when they came in
"Is she ok?" she asked
"She's fine she'd just drunk" Kyle said Paige could tell by his face he was angry she took Poppy and orbed upstairs putting her straight to bed without waking Petal she orbed back downstairs
"I asked you to look after her!" Paige said to Wyatt he shifted uncomfortably
"Charlie was there I sort' of lost her I warned her not to drink I swear" Wyatt pleased with his furious aunt and uncle and mother Chris stepped forward
"It was my fault too if I wasn't so busy with Mel I could have been looking out for Poppy"
"Ok boys just get to bed and hope Poppy feels ok tomorrow!" Piper said Paige sat down Kyle continued to pace
"Kyle stop it your making me feel nauseas!" Paige told him Phoebe got up followed b Piper
"Going to bed very tired night" Phoebe yawned and left Piper followed her Kyle turned to Paige
"This is your fault," he said
"My fault how is it?" she asked her anger evident on her face
"You allowed her to go"
"She'd a teenager why shouldn't she go out?" Paige argued
"And get drunk?" Kyle shouted
"I didn't say that" Paige yelled
"I know you grew up spending your teenage years on drink and drugs but she'd not!" Kyle shouted Paige's bottom lip quivered Kyle's eyes softened
"Paige I'm sorry" he began
"Save it" she spat stalking away she slammed the bedroom down orbing down she placed a pillow and blanket on the couch and orbed away Kyle sighed he hadn't meant to say that damn he even knew it wasn't Paige's fault he was just so angry!
