"Phoebe, I got a call from your principle today" Grams said as soon as they walked in the door.
"Yeah well. I'd get used to that if I were you. I'll probably get two to three calls a week on average" Prue told her with a smirk.
"No I will not, that is unacceptable young lady. I'm very disappointed in you" Grams said firmly.
"Oh cry me a river, am I supposed to feel guilty now or something, cause somehow, I'm not" Phoebe said.
Grams looked angry and said "Young lady…"
"Oh please, the trying to discipline her now thing is just sad, give it up. She doesn't see you as an authority figure, so she sure is not going to listen to you" Prue told her.
"Why can't you girls make some kind of effort to get along" Grams asked.
"Because we don't want to get along" Prue stated arrogantly.
"I'm rapidly seeing that, but it makes no difference" Grams told her.
"Well as much as I love this touching bonding moment, I have homework, you wouldn't want to keep me from that now would you?" Phoebe asked mockingly.
Grams just sigh and walked away muttering under her breath.
"God she's annoying, I don't know how much more of this I can take" Prue muttered.
"Tell me about it, this place is a nightmare" Phoebe said.
"It's not that bad" said a voice from behind them.
The two girls turned to see Paige standing behind them.
"Eavesdropping is impolite" Prue stated.
"I did not mean to, but you're in the entrance, its not like I can avoid coming here. If you want to have private conversations then do it in your room, not here" Paige said.
"Gee what a cute kid, you can tell who raised her" Prue muttered.
"I can't believe you guys are my sisters. All these years Piper told me about you and how great you were and how much she missed you and wanted to see you again. But you're nothing like what she said, and you don't even treat her nice. I get you not warming up to me, you don't know me, but you grew up with her, its just cruel" Paige said.
"That's not our problem" Prue said.
"Yeah, it's her fault for expecting things to be the way she wanted. How can she possibly expect us to just ignore all the years we were apart and try to re-forge some bond we had as small children. I barely even remember her, so she can't really expect me to just run over and give her a hug, that ridiculous" Phoebe said.
"I'm sorry" came Piper voice from the stairs.
Phoebe and Prue met each others eyes in exasperation. "Look, you don't have to apologize, just stop. Stop acting like things can just go back, they can't. Who knows maybe we will bond as sisters some day, but it will be a new bond, nothing can get back the old one" Prue told her.
"I guess your right, it was silly to expect you to have spent all this time wanting to see me like I have you" Piper said.
Anything that might have been said was stopped by the sound of a crash from upstairs. The four girls met each others eyes and as one raced up the stairs. At the foot of the stairs coming down from the attic was Grams, sprawled on the floor. Piper screamed and Paige and Phoebe looked shocked. Prue leaned down and checked for a pulse. She slowly shock her head, and met the others eyes. Silence overwhelmed them as they stood there. No one knowing what to say.
