Piper woke with a start and her head ached. "What the hell," she mumbled as she sat up. She looked down and was relieved to see she was in her own bed. She sighed contently before turning to the clock. 2 p.m.! She was supposed to work early at Quake. She quickly hopped out of bed and got dressed. She couldn't believe her sisters let her sleep in so late, unless she was still stuck in Priscilla's body. Piper looked down relieved once again at the normal clothes she was wearing. "Thank God, the nightmare's over." However, she did feel a bit remorse and jealousy that this Priscilla got to spend time with Leo.

Piper quickly brushed her hair before running down the stairs. "Hey Pipe, where are you going," Phoebe asked as she followed her around and to the door.

"To Quake; I was supposed to work early today. Why didn't you guys wake me?" Piper was a bit irritated. Usually her sisters were a little more considerate than that.

Phoebe avoided eyes contact with piper and rocked on her feet. "Well, we tried to, but you wouldn't budge." She shrugged. "We called you in sick at work, so they won't be expecting you at all." Phoebe continued to look down at the ground before looking back at Piper. "We just thought you were exhausted, because of the," she paused not sure if it was a good idea to say his name, "stuff that's been going on."

Piper sighed. She really didn't want to talk about Leo right now. She was getting over him in her own way, even if it was slightly unhealthy. She just wanted to go to work to get her mind off of the situation. "Honestly, I'm fine. I'll just go to work and explain to Martin how the illness thing was all a misunderstanding."

Phoebe positioned herself in front of the door. She knew Piper was in denial, and she hated to see her like this. "Piper, maybe you should just take the day off. You know, relax. It seems like your body is telling you to. I've never known you to sleep in until two. Me maybe, but not you," Phoebe cautiously replied. Smiling a bit, she hoped Piper would take her suggestion.

Sighing, Piper looking up at her sister, "Look Phoebe, I know you think I'm in denial and so does Prue, but I'm not. I'm fine, and I really wish you would have woke me up rather than calling me in sick. I can take care of myself, and my body is not telling me anything."

Phoebe held up her hands in surrender. "Like I said, we tried waking you up. You were seriously sleeping like a rock. It was like you were in a coma." She sighed defeated.

Piper paused for a second as she held her keys. It was like you were in a coma. The words echoed through her head. This couldn't be a supernatural, witchy thing, could it?

"Piper," Phoebe asked concerned. "Piper," she said a little more forcefully and took a stepped towards her sister. "Piper hello, Earth to Piper," Phoebe stated as she waved a hand in front of her sister's face.

That seemed to do the trick and Piper's head snapped up looking at her. "Yeah, maybe you're right," she whispered as she placed her keys onto the entry table. She needed to lie down. Was she taken to another world, or was the whole episode really a dream? It had seemed so real. She went into the living room and sat herself down on the coach. She continually stared ahead as if in a trance.

Phoebe sat down next to her and placed a hand on Piper's leg in concern. "Are you okay, Piper?" She really was worried for her sister. The past week she's walked by her door and heard her crying. She assumed Piper thought that both she and Prue were asleep, but neither of them were. They were both too concerned for their sister to get much sleep.

Piper simply nodded her head. "Yeah, it's just something you said, I guess." She continued to think about the dream, or what she thought was a dream.

"Um, what'd I say? If it was something bad, I'm really sorry," she said continually looking at her older sister concerned. She'd never seen Piper like this before.

"No, no Honey, you didn't say anything bad. It's just," she paused for a second before turning to her sister. "It's nothing. I think I'm going to go upstairs and lie down for a bit." She smiled at her younger sister. "Thanks for your concern though. I really appreciate it." She hugged her sister before getting up and making her way towards the stairs.

Phoebe looked at her suspiciously but decided it was better to drop the subject. She gratefully took the hug and smiled at Piper. "You know I'm here for you if you ever want to talk, right?"

Turning around, she gave one last smile towards her sister, "Yeah, I know. Thank you," with that she made her way upstairs to do some reading. If there was anything supernatural about her dreams, it would be in the book, right?
