"Prue?" Phoebe yelled.
"Ya" Prue called back.
"Can I borrow your blue plaid mini skirt for my date tonight?" Phoebe asked.
"I guess, try not to spill anything on it this time" Prue said.
"That was only one time, you are never gonna let me live that one down are you" Phoebe stated.
"Nope, never" Prue said laughing.
"Oh you! What am I gonna do with you?" Phoebe asked.
"Ah but the better question is what would you do without me?" Prue asked.
"Well I dunno, but I hope I never have to know" Phoebe told her.
"Ya me too, I can't imagine not having you around, underfoot every moment" Prue said.
"Ya I know, I mean, strange as it is to not hate my sister at this age, you're actually my best friend" Phoebe said.
"Ya, I mean, I know what you mean, you are defiantly my best friend too, strange as it is" Prue said.
"We are way closer than most sisters I know, sometimes I swear we almost seem to read each others minds, its kinda freaky" Phoebe said.
"Oh no, I'm just glad that we don't read each others minds, I'd be scared to be anywhere that filthy" Prue told her.
"Hey! Not nice!" Phoebe yelled jokingly.
"How true, sadly, I must not be a nice person… I suppose I'll just have to live with it" Prue informed her sassily.
"Well as much as I enjoy our witty banter, I think we need to get going to school, 'cause if I'm late again dad's gonna kill me" Phoebe said.
"Well maybe you should stop being late and skipping classes and so forth, and you wouldn't have to worry so much" Prue said.
"Now where's the fun in that?" Phoebe asked.
"Oh you are hopeless" Prue told her.
"Too true!" Phoebe agreed
"Did dad leave for work already?" Prue asked.
"Yep" Phoebe said.
"Damn, I needed to ask him something" Prue said.
"Well you are very much out of luck, he left on his business trip today, remember?" Phoebe asked.
"Oh double damn, when's he getting back?" Prue asked.
"Sometimes you are just so forgetful!" Phoebe told her.
"True, but that's not the point. When is he getting back?" Prue repeated.
"On your birthday, don't you remember him telling you he pulled some strings so that he wouldn't miss you 18th birthday?" Phoebe asked.
"Oh, ya, now that you mention it I do recall that" Prue said.
"Come on now, you did not actually think he'd miss you 18th birthday, he's never missed one of our birthdays before, I hardly think he'd start now" Phoebe said.
"True, I gotta say, the whole not having a mom around sucks, but our dad more than makes up for it. No one else's dads are ever around or want to be with their daughters the way ours does, we're lucky" Prue said.
"Well none of the other dad's are around because we live in the middle of the snob squad zone, all rich lawyers, doctors and so forth all too busy with their careers to have a life, let alone a family life" Phoebe said.
"True, this just makes us all the luckier. Besides I like it here, we go to one of the best private schools in the country, which will guarantee entrance into any college. We live in this totally sleek penthouse and have the best car ever!" Prue gushed.
"Now if only I could drive the car" Phoebe muttered.
"Only one year more" Prue reminded her.
"I know, but that's a long time" Phoebe said.
"Come on silly, I thought you were worried about being late" Prue said.
"Dammit!" Phoebe exclaimed.

"Daddy this place is great!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"Only the best for my little girls" Victor told them.
"Daddy, I'm not the little anymore" Prue said.
"You'll always be my little girl, no matter how old you get" Victor said.
"Oh daddy" Prue said.
"Don't you oh daddy me, now why don't you open your presents" Victor asked.
"Oh… alright, if I must" Prue said grinning and tore into her gifts.
"Thanks dad, I love them" Prue said.
"Good, but I saved the best for last" Victor told her.
"There's more?" Prue asked.
"Yep, here you go" Victor said handing her a small package.
Prue eagerly opened it up and gasped at the beautiful pearl necklace and earrings that she now held. "Dad, they're so beautiful" Prue cried out.
"Well its tradition in my family for the women to get pearls when they turn 18" Victor told her.
"Oh thank you dad, they are the best" Prue said.
"Your welcome, happy birthday baby, I love you" Victor told her.
"I love you too" Prue said.
"I love you both" Phoebe added in.
"Well thanks Phoebe, and I love you too" Victor said with a smile for his youngest.
"And well, I'm vaguely fond of you Phoebe" Prue said.
"Hey!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"Oh all right, I love you too" Prue said.
Victor smiled at his daughters and laughed, but suddenly he stopped. Prue and Phoebe turned hearing their father gasp and saw him grabbing his chest and watched in horror as he fell out of his chair. Phoebe screamed and they both ran to his side. Prue screamed for someone to call 911 and started to perform CPR on him. And in what seemed like hours, but was not more than ten minutes, an ambulance arrived. But once they got there they sadly informed the girls that it was too late, and Victor Benet was pronounced dead.
Phoebe and Prue stayed strong right till the man informed them that it was too late, and at that they both collapsed sobbing, clinging to each other.
