Prue Halliwell rushed down the steps, constantly glancing down at her watch- she was running late for her new photo shoot. "I'll grab a coffee to go and then take the back road to the shoot to save time avoiding the lights and then I will..." her mind rambled on and on, so much that Prue didn't even hear her sister Piper talking to her.
"Hell-ooo! Prue... Prue... Prue!" Finally, Prue turned around with an annoyed look on her face.
"What?!"
"Well, I was sorta kinda wondering why it was that you were looking like you wanted to astrial project to five places at once," Piper giggled.
"Oh, sorry, but I am running late for this really important shoot with this supposedly big-time actor person, but I've never heard of him so..." Prue let herself trail off as she poured her coffee into a travel mug.
"Prue, you wouldn't even know Tony Danza if he came to clean the manor," Phoebe, the youngest Halliwell yawned as she came into the kitchen.
"For your information," Prue started, turning toward her sister with a defiant look in her eye, "I do know who he is. Wasn't he that big time Italian Mob boss on some TV sitcom a few years back?"
"Oh jeez Prue, you're worse than I thought," Phoebe giggled.
"Well, at least she got the 'boss' part right," Piper said to Phoebe, trying to hide her grin.
She turned back to Prue, "He was on the show Who's the Boss? sweetie. You really have got to study up on your pop culture!"
"Yeah, If I could find the time. But I don't think this guy I have to shoot today is as big as that Toby Danson guy," Prue said hurriedly as she searched for her keys.
"First, it's ToNY DanZA," Phoebe giggled, "And who is it you're shooting today? Let us be the judge."
"Umm, I forget his name," Prue stuttered.
"Yeah, sure sparky," Piper laughed. "You just don't want us to tell you how totally lost you are when it comes to pop culture. You're need for superiority is astounding Prue. Common, spill it."
"No, seriously, I really don't remember it," Prue started, "It's some weird name like Anthony Sabbath Jr. or something like that."
"It wouldn't be Antonio Sabbato Jr., would it Prue?" Phoebe said with aspiration.
"Yeah, that sounds about right," Prue stopped looking for her keys and looked at her sisters with an innocent look, "Why, is he famous or something?"
"Oh my God Prue, he is so hot!! Yes, he is famous!" Phoebe almost screamed at the top of her lungs, "Can we come? Please??!!"
"Yeah, pretty please Prue? P3 can handle things without me for the day!" Piper said with almost as much excitement as Phoebe.
Prue got an annoyed look on her face, but when she looked at her sisters' pleading faces, her own face softened. She glanced at her watch and then at Phoebe who was still clad in her Scooby Doo pajamas. "I am leaving the house in exactly 15 minutes. Whoever is in the car when it leaves the driveway at that time can go. You'd better hurry!" Prue laughed as Phoebe and Piper scrambled to get ready. Phoebe frantically ran upstairs in an attempt to get ready in 15 minutes or less, a feat never before performed by Phoebe Halliwell.
**********
"My God Phoebe, if they had an Olympic sport for getting ready the fastest, you'd have the gold and the National Anthem would be playing," Piper laughed as Phoebe dove into the car twelve minutes later.
"I am going to get the gold medal, but it's gonna be in the form of Antonio Sabbato Jr.," Phoebe grinned as she pulled the car door shut and fastened her seatbelt.
"Not that I really care, but what about Cole?" Prue asked, trying to hide her hopefulness.
"Oh, he's still my man but Antonio can fill in while Cole's jumping into different astrial planes or whatever," Phoebe grinned mischievously.
"Man Troubles?" Prue jerked her head around.
"When isn't there? No, don't get your hopes up Prue," Phoebe said with a bit of hurt in her voice. Then her face brightened into a devilish grin, "At least I have just the potential for only two flings unlike someone who seems to have a new guy every Thursday night!"
"Nice Phoebe, you are my new role model when it comes to comebacks," Piper said as she and Phoebe gave each other high five's.
"Thanks, I try," Phoebe said back proudly.
"OK guys, you know me. There's got to be some ground rules," Prue warned, turning serious, "This shoot is really important and if it doesn't go good I-"
"You are going to get all worked up over how we are going to act, astrial project your more relaxed half to some biker bar and get charged with murder all while ruining your sister's wedding?" Phoebe interrupted with a laugh, "Don't worry! We will keep our hormones in check. Jeez Prue, she's married and I have a steady- no, serious boyfriend. We'll be good, we promise!"
"No, I'm serious! Any ways, she already killed her husband so what would keep her from doing a little thing like cheating on him after that?" Prue laughed.
"Hey, I was possessed, remember!?" Piper yelled.
"Supposedly possessed, but we all know you weren't," Prue laughed but saw she had hit below the belt, "I'm sorry, I was only just kidding."
"Its ok, but along with pop culture, you have to work on your humor skills," Piper retorted playfully.
"Yeah, yeah. Any ways, you guys are not supposed to be at this shoot so you really have to be on your best behavior and stay low," Prue said as she stopped at a red light, "In fact, I think you guys should act like my assistants whenever there is anyone around."
"Oh, wonderful; Just what I've always wanted- to be under you in the grand scheme of things," Phoebe groaned.
"You have always been under me, and Piper for the sake of argument, when it comes to the age scheme."
"You know, I've always felt that deep down I was the younger of the three of us. Not because I was more immature than all of you because I am clearly the maturest, but age wise. I don't know, its weird," Piper said. Her sisters just looked at her with bewilderment. "What?" Piper asked. They just laughed. The light turned green and Prue floored it.
**********
Finally, Prue's car had approached the lot. The sisters had quieted down and were listening to the radio. As Prue turned into the parking lot, the song "How Soon Is Now" came on and the sisters immediately started to sing. When the song was over, Prue turned the keys and shut the car off, finally coming to rest as quietly as her sisters were. Phoebe was the first to break the silence.
"That song always makes me want to see a premonition," she said, "Its odd."
"Yeah I know- I think of Jeremy whenever I hear that song," PIper said thinking intently.
"And I get this odd urge to shut a door with my powers," Prue added and then shook her head. "Well, we're here. Remember what I said!" The sisters all got out of the car. Piper and Phoebe ran ahead, but Prue stuck behind for a moment. Instead of slamming the door as her sisters did, Prue took a hurried glance around and then shut it with her power and a smile came over her face. "That feels better," she said as she hurried after her sisters.
**********
Prue checked in at the desk and took her sisters and camera equipment to her designated area. Phoebe and Piper excitedly looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the hottie Antonio Sabato Jr. while Prue started to set up for the shoot. Suddenly, Phoebe squealed in delight.
"There he is! There he is! Look Prue!" she jumped up and down, pointing. Prue glanced up to the area of which Phoebe was pointing to and almost dropped her camera. The guy looked so much like someone she knew... but she couldn't think of who. Prue took a deep breath and started walking over to the actor with Phoebe and Piper close in tow. Antonio
looked up as Prue walked and stood up from the make-up chair. Prue offered her hand.
"Hi, my name is Prue Halliwell, and these are my... um... assistants Phoebe and Piper. We're going to be the ones taking your pictures today Mr. Sabbato."
"Please, call me Antonio. Nice to meet you Prue, though I already feel as though I know you," he responded, looking Prue over with a wandering eye.
"That's so funny! I thought the same thing when I first saw you," Prue blushed.
"Yes, you look exactly like a woman named Shannen I had to work with a while back on a TV Show... she was one wild girl if I remember right... She kept on making out with the crew..." he let his voice trail off, but then shook his head of the memory. "Maybe you are as wild as that 'twin' I knew," he said seductively. Phoebe stepped in front of Prue, breaking the sexual tension between the two.
"Who? Prue? No way!" Phoebe laughed. "I am the wild Halliwell sister. My name is Phoebe and I have your biggest fan." She started to lead Antonio away, but his eyes were still captivated and locked with Prue's. Piper went after them, but couldn't stop giggling. Prue finally tore her eyes away ad turned toward her camera bag, crouching down to open it.
"And my name is Piper," she giggled. "I'm also Prue's sister."
"But you can just call her Dr. Giggles," Phoebe laughed, but stopped short when Piper gave her an embarrassed glare. They continued their polite small talk as Prue searched frantically in her bag for her lens she wanted to use in particular. She started to toss things out in an attempt to find it when suddenly Antonio knelt down beside her.
"Need some help?" he asked with a twinkle in his eyes. He started to help Prue pull thinks out of the cluttered bag, but stopped as he pulled out a rolled up pair of men's boxers with an incredulous look on his face. Prue blushed.
"Oh, um, uh, oh that. Yeah, well, um, those are um-"
"Mine," Antonio finished with a suspicious and hard look on his face.
"What?! They can't be yours, they're Bane's from when we-"
"Whatever," Antonio said briskly and walked away, tossing them back at her. Prue just couldn't wait for this day to end. After 2 more hours of odd stares from Antonio and her two drooling sisters, Prue finally finished the shoot.
**********
Back at the manor, Prue was moping around, watching all of the taped episodes of her favorite show- "Beverly Hills 90210." Phoebe walked in, saw what Prue was watching and shook her head.
"You know Prue, sometimes I worry about you," she said, but plopped down on the couch next to her sister any ways. She turned to face her big sister who reluctantly tore her eyes away from the TV and sighed a heavy sigh. "What was that for?" Phoebe asked.
"Well, it's just so amazing to watch such gifted actors and actresses," she started,
"Especially those two." She pointed to the screen. "I don't know that dark haired girl's real name; her character is named Brenda, but her and Jenny Garth have such good chemistry! Its just so great to watch them!"
"Right, sure sparky," Phoebe responded.
The two continued to watch the show, though Phoebe nodded off on occasion. A bit later, Piper threw open the door and slammed it behind her. She stormed in front of her sisters who were still laying on the couch watching Prue's tapes. Piper noticed that they weren't paying attention to her incisive pacing and angered stomping about so she smacked the power button on the TV, turning it off. Phoebe woke up with a start.
"Hey, we were watching that!" she argued groggily.
"Not anymore I guess," Prue said with a frown. "What's up with this?!" Piper could only grunt in return. She continued to pace back and forth angrily, mumbling to herself and even directing some grunts to her sisters who were watching with amusement.
"Ok, I guess this is going to be a new game show," Phoebe started, "It can be called 'Who
Wants to Know What's Wrong With Piper'!"
"Can we use a lifeline?" Prue giggled, "I want to call a friend."
"Yeah you can, but we have to use our friends at '1-800-Collect' instead of AT&T!" Phoebe squealed, but stopped short as her sister Piper gave her an icy stare. "OK, I guess AT&T is OK too..." Phoebe started again, but then gave up trying to make jokes. "OK, what is it, man troubles?"
"Yeah, you could say that!" Piper spit out sarcastically.
"OK honey, tell us what happened," Prue said, walking over to Piper. Phoebe walked over too.
"Well," Piper started, plopping down on the couch. Her sisters followed suit. "We just had our first fight as a married couple."
"Who are we?" Phoebe giggled, trying to lighten the mood.
Piper let herself give a small smile. "OH, didn't you know? Me and Scott Wolf got married!"
"Hey, I thought he was my fiance‚!" Phoebe laughed back.
"Oh, you two have been over for a while now... but you still work on Disney pictures together now and then!" Prue added.
"I see..." Phoebe giggled again.
"No really, how did he get those ideas? They are sort of odd..." Prue asked again.
"Well, we were talking about our future and what our dream house and things like that would be like. I started to describe it to him and it all went fine and dandy until he started to criticize my plans for a nice big picket fence and naming our first daughter Kimberly. He insisted 'Kimberly' was a name of someone who would be likely to be unsure of their sexuality and that white fences made him think of me cheating on him with other women!! I can't believe it!" Piper let out another scream of frustration while her sisters looked quizingly at each other. Then, they started to laugh hysterically.
After composing herself as much as she could, Prue asked calmly, "Where would he get weird ideas like that?"
"Oh, some stupid TV show he watched a few years ago. I don't know but it made me so mad!" Piper screamed again.
"Calm down though, OK? Come watch Beverly Hills with us," Prue said, stroking Piper's hair.
"Ohh! You still watch that?!" PIper exclaimed.
"Yes, unfortunately, and I think so are we," Phoebe said as Prue turned back on the TV and VCR. PIper and Phoebe both sighed as their sister again became engrossed with the show. However, they both stayed and watched with her.
**********
That night, Prue was awoken by giggling coming from Phoebe's room. She sighed and reluctantly looked at her clock- 2:45am. She shoved her head under the pillow in an attempt to go back to sleep, but the giggling continued. Prue had just rolled out of bed to go scream at Phoebe for making noise when Piper opened her door.
"You heard her too?" Prue asked. Piper just sleepily nodded her head. "Wanna go yell at her?" Piper again only nodded her head and yawned. Together, they walked to Phoebe's door.
"Phoebe!" Piper yelled, suddenly wide awake, "Open this door so we can yell at you face to face!" The two sisters waited as the giggling stopped abruptly and some rustling around was heard. Finally, Phoebe slowly opened the door just a crack so she could stick her head out.
"What did I do this time?"
"We don't know and I don't think we really want to know," Prue started as she peered in and saw Cole sitting on the bed behind her, "but you guys gotta keep it down!"
"Ok, ok we will!" Phoebe laughed and then apologized. She shut her door as her sisters tried to go back to sleep and took a seat next to Cole. "Well, we have to be quiet, so what do you want to do?"
"You," Cole answered simply with a smile on his face. Phoebe playfully hit him and gave him a quick kiss.
"You are never quiet when you do that," she said playfully. "Common, it's almost 3 in the morning- there's plenty of things we can do!"
"Uh, at 3 in the morning?" Cole asked, confused. "There's nothing at all that we can do!"
"Yes, it may be almost 3 in the morning here, but not other places in this world..." Phoebe said seductively. "Common, let's shimmer to some amusement park in Tokyo or something! I've always wanted to go there and see the sights. Besides, if we can't find an amusement park we can always go listen to some music- In Japan, almost all singers get their big break. I'll sing for you if we go there..."
"Sounds good... I've always had many sexual fantasies about being on a roller coaster with the woman I love and obsess about... I saw it in a movie once. But, can we also go to Australia too? I've always liked it there and I have it in real good with some people high up there," Cole responded and Phoebe nodded. Then she wrapped her arms around him and they shimmered off.
**********
Prue awoke the next morning and could hardly get out of bed because she was so tired. Thinking a shower would
help her get more awake, she stepped into the bathtub and started the water as hot as it could go. It was always hot for her since she was usually the first sister up and she intended to keep it like that. Soon, Prue was singing at the top of her lungs as the water gushed, fully awake now.
"Can anybody hear me?! Can anybody hear me?! Can anybody hear me?! Can anybody hear me?! 'Cause I don't..." she sang but was interrupted by Piper opening the door.
"Well, I hear you and you just woke me up. Didn't you learn anything from last night?" Piper laughed.
"Haha, very funny!"
"Hey, that singing was really good Prue. You should really start a band or something! Me and Phoebe can be back up singers," Piper said as she brushed her teeth. Prue shut off the water and draped a towel around her.
"Yeah and get psychopathic groupies following me around and ruining my life just because of some beauty pageant how many years ago? No thanks!" Piper laughed in response and the sisters continued on with their morning rituals.
**********
Phoebe and Cole shimmered back into the manor around midday, laughing. Phoebe still had some cotton candy in her hands from the amusement park.
"That was great! I still can't believe you did that on the roller coaster to me!" Phoebe exclaimed. Cole laughed back.
"Well, I told you, I saw it in a movie. But, just don't make me carve your name in my chest, ok?" Phoebe gave him an odd look and gave him a quick kiss. Just then, Prue and Piper came in and plopped down on the couch.
"What have you two been up to?" Piper asked.
"Oh, we were talking about Cole carving my name in his chest... Oh, never mind," Phoebe laughed and turned around to run upstairs to change. Prue did a double take as she watched Phoebe walk away.
"Phoebe!!" Prue shouted. Phoebe turned around and gave her sister a quizful look. "What is that on your back?! It looks like a bruise!"
"Oh, that," Phoebe blushed. "I can't believe you haven't noticed it before. Its a tattoo."
"Are you serious?!"
"Yeah, I have like seven of them now!" Phoebe exclaimed, and started to show off her many tattoos.
"Well, if we are all going to show off our tattoos, I guess I should show off mine," Piper said as she removed her bracelets and showed off her own.
"Hey, I have some too!" Prue said, revealing hers.
"Maybe I should carve your name into my chest so I can be in this tattoo club!" Cole exclaimed.
**********
The next morning, Prue, Piper, Leo, Phoebe, and Cole were all in the kitchen eating some of Piper's famous breakfast- strawberry waffles. They had all been up late, conversing on tattoos and finally settling down to watch a few movies- Mallrats and Hugo Pool to name a few. Phoebe yawned and placed her head on Cole's shoulder, pushing away her empty plate.
"My god, Piper, you really should open up your own restaurant," she said, giggling.
"She did," Prue laughed back.
"I know, I was just kidding!"
"So, what do you all want to do today?" pondered Prue, cleaning off her plate at the sink. The didn't get much of an answer. Yet again, it was up to her to decide. She sighed, then her frown turned upside down as she had an idea. "Hey! Why don't we go, get drunk, find a red pick up truck, drive it down the freeway, making sure to weave it in and out of traffic, and get pulled over by the cops!?! Just think, we can get our names splashed all over the tabloids and everything!
They all sat quietly, pondering. Then, Phoebe spoke up. "No, I think you should just do that Prue... you always had a knack for it!"
"Maybe later," she responded and went back to thinking of something to do.
"Hey, speaking of tabliods, I have an idea," Leo spoke up. He grinned at Phoebe. "You wanna go make out on a Malibu beach in front of German tabloid reporters?!"
"Been there, did that, have the magazine article found at some site called 'Charmed- A Site For You' to show for it," Phoebe lazily retorted. Both Piper and Cole sat straight up and looked at both Phoebe and Leo in disbelief.
"What?" Phoebe asked innocently. "We're joking! Never believe those stupid things until someone close to us confirms it."
"Uh, Phoebe?" Prue said hesitantly. She was looking at her laptop where her favorite message board was displayed. "Lin Milano says it is true..."
"Oh yeah... sorry Cole. Piper," Phoebe apologized, but then laughed. "Gotcha!"
**********
After their interesting morning, the Charmed Ones, Leo, and Cole all got ready and went to P3 to set up for the band that was to perform that night- "Friends 'Til The End." But first, Prue wanted to get something that she had been wanting ever since the sisters moved back in with each other- a more recent picture of the three of them that Grams took so long ago. She handed Leo her camera.
"Leo, can you take our picture?" she asked him. He, of course, agreed and she gathered her sisters around her, but started to frown- she wasn't in the middle of her sisters, Phoebe was!
"No, I have to be first!!!" she screamed at Phoebe, yanking her hair and pulling her out of the center of the three. The fight continued for some time, so intense that no one noticed a woman standing at the doorway.
"Oh, this is great!" Wanda from E! said, "I can't wait to post this!"
The End... Hopefully!
"Hell-ooo! Prue... Prue... Prue!" Finally, Prue turned around with an annoyed look on her face.
"What?!"
"Well, I was sorta kinda wondering why it was that you were looking like you wanted to astrial project to five places at once," Piper giggled.
"Oh, sorry, but I am running late for this really important shoot with this supposedly big-time actor person, but I've never heard of him so..." Prue let herself trail off as she poured her coffee into a travel mug.
"Prue, you wouldn't even know Tony Danza if he came to clean the manor," Phoebe, the youngest Halliwell yawned as she came into the kitchen.

"Yeah, If I could find the time. But I don't think this guy I have to shoot today is as big as that Toby Danson guy," Prue said hurriedly as she searched for her keys.
"First, it's ToNY DanZA," Phoebe giggled, "And who is it you're shooting today? Let us be the judge."
"Umm, I forget his name," Prue stuttered.

"Nice Phoebe, you are my new role model when it comes to comebacks," Piper said as she and Phoebe gave each other high five's.

The two continued to watch the show, though Phoebe nodded off on occasion. A bit later, Piper threw open the door and slammed it behind her. She stormed in front of her sisters who were still laying on the couch watching Prue's tapes. Piper noticed that they weren't paying attention to her incisive pacing and angered stomping about so she smacked the power button on the TV, turning it off. Phoebe woke up with a start.
"Hey, we were watching that!" she argued groggily.
"Not anymore I guess," Prue said with a frown. "What's up with this?!" Piper could only grunt in return. She continued to pace back and forth angrily, mumbling to herself and even directing some grunts to her sisters who were watching with amusement.
"Ok, I guess this is going to be a new game show," Phoebe started, "It can be called 'Who
Wants to Know What's Wrong With Piper'!"
"Can we use a lifeline?" Prue giggled, "I want to call a friend."
"Yeah you can, but we have to use our friends at '1-800-Collect' instead of AT&T!" Phoebe squealed, but stopped short as her sister Piper gave her an icy stare. "OK, I guess AT&T is OK too..." Phoebe started again, but then gave up trying to make jokes. "OK, what is it, man troubles?"
"Yeah, you could say that!" Piper spit out sarcastically.
"OK honey, tell us what happened," Prue said, walking over to Piper. Phoebe walked over too.
"Well," Piper started, plopping down on the couch. Her sisters followed suit. "We just had our first fight as a married couple."
"Who are we?" Phoebe giggled, trying to lighten the mood.
Piper let herself give a small smile. "OH, didn't you know? Me and Scott Wolf got married!"
"Hey, I thought he was my fiance‚!" Phoebe laughed back.
"Oh, you two have been over for a while now... but you still work on Disney pictures together now and then!" Prue added.
"I see..." Phoebe giggled again.
"No really, how did he get those ideas? They are sort of odd..." Prue asked again.
"Well, we were talking about our future and what our dream house and things like that would be like. I started to describe it to him and it all went fine and dandy until he started to criticize my plans for a nice big picket fence and naming our first daughter Kimberly. He insisted 'Kimberly' was a name of someone who would be likely to be unsure of their sexuality and that white fences made him think of me cheating on him with other women!! I can't believe it!" Piper let out another scream of frustration while her sisters looked quizingly at each other. Then, they started to laugh hysterically.
After composing herself as much as she could, Prue asked calmly, "Where would he get weird ideas like that?"
"Oh, some stupid TV show he watched a few years ago. I don't know but it made me so mad!" Piper screamed again.
"Calm down though, OK? Come watch Beverly Hills with us," Prue said, stroking Piper's hair.
"Ohh! You still watch that?!" PIper exclaimed.
"Yes, unfortunately, and I think so are we," Phoebe said as Prue turned back on the TV and VCR. PIper and Phoebe both sighed as their sister again became engrossed with the show. However, they both stayed and watched with her.
**********
That night, Prue was awoken by giggling coming from Phoebe's room. She sighed and reluctantly looked at her clock- 2:45am. She shoved her head under the pillow in an attempt to go back to sleep, but the giggling continued. Prue had just rolled out of bed to go scream at Phoebe for making noise when Piper opened her door.
"You heard her too?" Prue asked. Piper just sleepily nodded her head. "Wanna go yell at her?" Piper again only nodded her head and yawned. Together, they walked to Phoebe's door.
"Phoebe!" Piper yelled, suddenly wide awake, "Open this door so we can yell at you face to face!" The two sisters waited as the giggling stopped abruptly and some rustling around was heard. Finally, Phoebe slowly opened the door just a crack so she could stick her head out.
"What did I do this time?"
"We don't know and I don't think we really want to know," Prue started as she peered in and saw Cole sitting on the bed behind her, "but you guys gotta keep it down!"
"Ok, ok we will!" Phoebe laughed and then apologized. She shut her door as her sisters tried to go back to sleep and took a seat next to Cole. "Well, we have to be quiet, so what do you want to do?"
"You," Cole answered simply with a smile on his face. Phoebe playfully hit him and gave him a quick kiss.
"You are never quiet when you do that," she said playfully. "Common, it's almost 3 in the morning- there's plenty of things we can do!"
"Uh, at 3 in the morning?" Cole asked, confused. "There's nothing at all that we can do!"
"Yes, it may be almost 3 in the morning here, but not other places in this world..." Phoebe said seductively. "Common, let's shimmer to some amusement park in Tokyo or something! I've always wanted to go there and see the sights. Besides, if we can't find an amusement park we can always go listen to some music- In Japan, almost all singers get their big break. I'll sing for you if we go there..."
"Sounds good... I've always had many sexual fantasies about being on a roller coaster with the woman I love and obsess about... I saw it in a movie once. But, can we also go to Australia too? I've always liked it there and I have it in real good with some people high up there," Cole responded and Phoebe nodded. Then she wrapped her arms around him and they shimmered off.
**********
Prue awoke the next morning and could hardly get out of bed because she was so tired. Thinking a shower would
help her get more awake, she stepped into the bathtub and started the water as hot as it could go. It was always hot for her since she was usually the first sister up and she intended to keep it like that. Soon, Prue was singing at the top of her lungs as the water gushed, fully awake now.
"Can anybody hear me?! Can anybody hear me?! Can anybody hear me?! Can anybody hear me?! 'Cause I don't..." she sang but was interrupted by Piper opening the door.
"Well, I hear you and you just woke me up. Didn't you learn anything from last night?" Piper laughed.
"Haha, very funny!"
"Hey, that singing was really good Prue. You should really start a band or something! Me and Phoebe can be back up singers," Piper said as she brushed her teeth. Prue shut off the water and draped a towel around her.
"Yeah and get psychopathic groupies following me around and ruining my life just because of some beauty pageant how many years ago? No thanks!" Piper laughed in response and the sisters continued on with their morning rituals.
**********
Phoebe and Cole shimmered back into the manor around midday, laughing. Phoebe still had some cotton candy in her hands from the amusement park.
"That was great! I still can't believe you did that on the roller coaster to me!" Phoebe exclaimed. Cole laughed back.
"Well, I told you, I saw it in a movie. But, just don't make me carve your name in my chest, ok?" Phoebe gave him an odd look and gave him a quick kiss. Just then, Prue and Piper came in and plopped down on the couch.
"What have you two been up to?" Piper asked.
"Oh, we were talking about Cole carving my name in his chest... Oh, never mind," Phoebe laughed and turned around to run upstairs to change. Prue did a double take as she watched Phoebe walk away.
"Phoebe!!" Prue shouted. Phoebe turned around and gave her sister a quizful look. "What is that on your back?! It looks like a bruise!"
"Oh, that," Phoebe blushed. "I can't believe you haven't noticed it before. Its a tattoo."
"Are you serious?!"
"Yeah, I have like seven of them now!" Phoebe exclaimed, and started to show off her many tattoos.
"Well, if we are all going to show off our tattoos, I guess I should show off mine," Piper said as she removed her bracelets and showed off her own.
"Hey, I have some too!" Prue said, revealing hers.
"Maybe I should carve your name into my chest so I can be in this tattoo club!" Cole exclaimed.
**********
The next morning, Prue, Piper, Leo, Phoebe, and Cole were all in the kitchen eating some of Piper's famous breakfast- strawberry waffles. They had all been up late, conversing on tattoos and finally settling down to watch a few movies- Mallrats and Hugo Pool to name a few. Phoebe yawned and placed her head on Cole's shoulder, pushing away her empty plate.
"My god, Piper, you really should open up your own restaurant," she said, giggling.
"She did," Prue laughed back.
"I know, I was just kidding!"
"So, what do you all want to do today?" pondered Prue, cleaning off her plate at the sink. The didn't get much of an answer. Yet again, it was up to her to decide. She sighed, then her frown turned upside down as she had an idea. "Hey! Why don't we go, get drunk, find a red pick up truck, drive it down the freeway, making sure to weave it in and out of traffic, and get pulled over by the cops!?! Just think, we can get our names splashed all over the tabloids and everything!
They all sat quietly, pondering. Then, Phoebe spoke up. "No, I think you should just do that Prue... you always had a knack for it!"
"Maybe later," she responded and went back to thinking of something to do.
"Hey, speaking of tabliods, I have an idea," Leo spoke up. He grinned at Phoebe. "You wanna go make out on a Malibu beach in front of German tabloid reporters?!"
"Been there, did that, have the magazine article found at some site called 'Charmed- A Site For You' to show for it," Phoebe lazily retorted. Both Piper and Cole sat straight up and looked at both Phoebe and Leo in disbelief.
"What?" Phoebe asked innocently. "We're joking! Never believe those stupid things until someone close to us confirms it."
"Uh, Phoebe?" Prue said hesitantly. She was looking at her laptop where her favorite message board was displayed. "Lin Milano says it is true..."
"Oh yeah... sorry Cole. Piper," Phoebe apologized, but then laughed. "Gotcha!"
**********
After their interesting morning, the Charmed Ones, Leo, and Cole all got ready and went to P3 to set up for the band that was to perform that night- "Friends 'Til The End." But first, Prue wanted to get something that she had been wanting ever since the sisters moved back in with each other- a more recent picture of the three of them that Grams took so long ago. She handed Leo her camera.
"Leo, can you take our picture?" she asked him. He, of course, agreed and she gathered her sisters around her, but started to frown- she wasn't in the middle of her sisters, Phoebe was!
"No, I have to be first!!!" she screamed at Phoebe, yanking her hair and pulling her out of the center of the three. The fight continued for some time, so intense that no one noticed a woman standing at the doorway.
"Oh, this is great!" Wanda from E! said, "I can't wait to post this!"
The End... Hopefully!
