Piper nervously ran a hand through her long dark hair as Dan led them towards a lunch table. "Are you ok?" he asked. She nodded her head quickly, and started to scan the room for her eldest sister. "Piper...if you are nervous," Dan started, "we don't have to do this," he said to her, stopping their walk. "I just wanted to get to know you a little better, just become friends," he said with a smile. "That your sister?" he questioned. She nodded her head numbly, and the raven haired sister walked over.

"There you are Piper-," Prue started, and then suddenly she stopped mid-sentence. "So who's this?" she questioned, intrigued. Her blue eyes looked over the young man in front of her.

He immediately sensed her glare; she was definitely the overprotective oldest sister. "I'm Dan Gordon," he said, offering his hand out to her. Prue briefly shook his hand, and smiled lightly.

"Piper, me and Andy were going to ask you to come sit with us, but if you want to eat with Dan..." Piper looked freaked out for a second, and threw out her hands to stop her sister, and suddenly the room stopped. Piper sighed loudly and turned around. Why did her power have to activate now? "Piper why did you freeze the room?" Piper jumped as she saw her sister had remained unaffected by the freeze.

"Why aren't you frozen?" Piper squeaked.

"I don't know, but do something," Prue shot back, placing her hands on her hips. Piper didn't know what to do, but before she could even try to think of anything the room unfroze, and the hustle and bustle of the cafeteria was once again present. Dan shook his head, and looked towards Piper.

"Maybe next time, I gotta go," Piper said, pushing her glasses back as she shuffled quickly past him. Dan let out a sigh, and looked at her sister. Her blue eyes shown with sympathy, "Look, I can tell you like my sister, but don't take offense. She just lost a...friend recently," she said.

"I'm sorry...I didn't know," he whispered.

"Its ok," Prue assured him. "Just give her a bit, and go a little slower ok?" Prue advised. Dan nodded his head, and she walked back towards Andy. She threw her hair back, and smiled at her boyfriend. "So where do you want to go?" she questioned.

"Well, I thought we'd go back to your place, check on your sister," he whispered, placing his hands on her waist. Prue smiled and nodded her head. "You ready to go?" he questioned pulling his keys out of his jean pockets.

Halliwell Manor

Victor Bennett focused on the computer screen in front of him. He heard footsteps coming from upstairs and saw his youngest daughter coming down the stairs. "Hey Phoebe," Victor said lightly. "How you feeling?" she definitely looked a lot better than she had earlier in the morning.

"I am feeling ok," she murmured. She was wondering if he was still planning on stealing the Book of Shadows. "Daddy...why don't you want us to be witches?" she asked, sitting down next to him.

"Its not something we should talk about when your sick," Victor reprimanded. Phoebe leaned her head on his shoulder, and Victor pulled his away from the computer in front of him. "You should get back to bed Phoebe," he murmured, tousling her hair lightly.

"I'm actually kinda hungry," she whispered, leaning her head on his shoulder once again.

"You're still feeling warm," he murmured, placing his hand on her head. "Go back to bed, I'll bring you some food," Phoebe didn't really want to go back to bed; she was starting to feel better again. He gently pushed her towards the stairs. She stiffened lightly, and heard a ringing in her ears. Images flew in and out of her head; she saw Victor walking upstairs towards her room, and a demon shimmered in. Phoebe gasped and felt her father rub her shoulder. "Phoebe, honey you should get back upstairs," he whispered.

"You are going to get attacked if you leave me in my room," she whispered, grabbing his hand.

"Phoebe its ok," he murmured, he pulled out a vial and placed it in her hand. He pulled out another vial, and pocketed it.

"No...I had a premonition," she said, yanking him back to her.

"Phoebe..." Victor sighed.

"Don't Phoebe me-," she started to snap when the door opened up. Phoebe turned around and saw Prue walking into the manor. "Prue watch-," she started to call out. The demon shimmered in, and before he could even process that Victor wasn't where he was supposed to be, he was thrown forwards. He turned toward the eldest Halliwell sister, and summoned an energy ball. Her baby blues widened in surprise and he tossed the globule of energy towards her. Her eyes narrowed and instantly the ball flew back to him and hit him square on the chest. The door opened up again, and Andy walked in.

Prue hoped that he wouldn't notice the smell, and wished for the moment that she had Piper's power. "Hi Andy," Phoebe whispered, looking a little bit paler than she had earlier. Victor gently grabbed a hold of his youngest daughter.

"Come on sweetie, lets get you upstairs," he brought an arm around her and led her upstairs.

"What was that about?" Andy asked as he saw Victor bring Phoebe upstairs.

"I think he is just feeling a little jealous of you," Prue admitted, leaning against him. "You have been nothing but a big brother to my sisters; they have found a father in you," she admitted quietly. Andy smiled lightly, and pulled her into a gentle embrace. "Well Dad will have to get used to you being around..."

"Good," he murmured, kissing her chastely on the lips. "Come on," he said, "we should get this up to Phoebe," she looked at the brown paper bag, and smiled. Phoebe would be surprised, and hopefully will get her mind off of the premonitions plaguing her mind. Then they would have to get back to school. As they went upstairs, Prue was starting to wonder when Andy found out what she and her sisters were..would he run away? "You ok?" he asked, noticing the look on her face.

"Just worried about Phoebe," she lied quickly. She hated the fact that she had to lie to Andy about these things. Knowing him; he would eventually find out that she was a witch by digging up information on his own. "Maybe she would talk to Victor about it; she wondered how her mother told her father. She knocked on her sister's door, and she called out, "Come in!" the eldest Halliwell opened up the door. "Andy and I brought you something to eat," Prue whispered.

"Thanks," Phoebe tried to say brightly. She wasn't really hungry, but she didn't want to hurt their feelings.

"Feel better little sister," Andy whispered, kissing her forehead. Prue also placed a kiss on her forehead as well before heading out of her room. Victor sighed as he watched them go; they acted like they were Phoebe's parents. Victor thought for a moment; they did practically raise her.

"Daddy you ok?" Phoebe asked, digging into the paper bag. He nodded his head, and gave her a kiss on her forehead.

"Get some rest ok?" she nodded her head, and he walked out of the room. By the time he had hit the stairs, Andy and Prue were already gone. He wondered why it bugged him so much that Prue and Andy had acted like they were the parents of Piper and Phoebe.

Bay View High School

Piper Halliwell looked at herself in the mirror in the girls bathroom and sighed. She wasn't nearly as pretty as the other girls in her school; she wished she could look as pretty as Prue did...even Phoebe was prettier than her. She ran a hand through her hair, and walked outside and collided with another person. Her glasses flew off her face, and onto the ground. "Damn it," Piper murmured.

"Its ok," she jumped at the voice; it was Dan's. She started to shrink away, but he stopped her. "You alright?" he questioned, placing her glasses on her face. He decided maybe that if he wanted to be friends with her, she should let her come to him. She nodded her head, and re-adjusted her glasses. "I can see you want to be left alone-," he started. Piper wanted to scream that she didn't want to be left alone. She shakily placed a hand on his shoulder, stopping him from moving.

"Did you really want to be friends with me?" Piper questioned nervously.

"Yeah...I do," he said with a genuine smile.

"Its just...no one ever wants to be my friend. It is always just to have someone look over their homework and cheat off my tests," she sighed.

"Piper...I'm so sorry," Dan apologized, placing a hand on his shoulder. This was so un-like her, letting someone in besides her sisters. She started to shake, and immediately pulled her into a gentle embrace. She leaned into him, and buried her face into his chest. After she composed herself, she reluctantly pulled away from him.

"Thanks," she sniffled. She pulled her glasses off, and wiped her eyes.

"You're welcome..." he said, smiling gently. Looking at the time, he noticed that school was out. "You need a ride home?" he asked.

"I have to go look for my sister and her boyfriend..." she murmured.

"I can give you a ride if you want," he murmured. She stopped; Phoebe got rides from friends all the time, why couldn't she? She nodded her head, and they headed towards his car.
