"Come on Pheebs!" Piper Pleaded. "Please."

"NO!"

The sisters had stumbled apon a small Karaoke bar and Piper was trying to persuade Phoebe into a contest that would win them four thousand dollars in cash plus any tips they could get. This would save them having to get Cole to go back to San Francisco in the morning.

"Please!.. you had the best voice in High school."

"Yeah. but that was high school. How do you know that my voice hasn't changed since then?"

"If it has, it would be for the better." Put in Paige, who before five minutes ago. was completely oblivious to Phoebes talent.

"What would be better?" Chimed in a voice.

"Phoebes voice." Piper told Cole.

"What about it?" Asked Cole again, almost afraid of the answer that he was about to receive.

"Ohh its nothing Honey. Just my Wacky sisters y'know." Said Phoebe trying to cover up.

"We want Phoebe to enter in the Karaoke Contest." Paige Cut her off as Cole began to laugh.

"Phoebe. Ummmm. I. I don't know what to say.. Uh."

"There's no reason to say anything cause im not doing it!"

Cole then Acknowledged Pipers devilish grin, and he continued:

". I Mean. even if you could sing you stil..."

"What do you mean.. 'even if I could'. Are you saying that I cant sing?" Phoebe accused.

"No. No honey.tis just. Well Maybe. its just. Maybe you should stick to things your good at. Like Writing your column and vanquishing. and lets not forget how good you are at spending your cash."



" So that's all you think I am.. A ditz with a credit card?"

"No, honey! Im just saying you should stick to what you know."

"Fine! Ill Do it!" Phoebe then stormed off towards the sign-up table. Piper Grinned at Cole and said:

"Nice reverse Psychology, Bro!"

"I Soooooo Don't wanna do this anymore."

Phoebe stood backstage, and as the band played she became more and more nervous. Why did she let Cole trick her into doing this? She knew he was using the whole reverse Psychology trick on her. She just freaked at the thought of Cole not believing in her. And she could sing. Couldn't she? I mean, high school was almost a decade ago but that didn't mean her voice had changed. did it?

"Ohhh. Honey, you'll be great. Your voice made you one of the most popular girls in school."

"But Piper, that was sooo long ago."

"So you're admitting that your old?" Piper said with a smirk.

"No. I just.I." Phoebe stuttered.

"Don't worry. You'll do fine." Piper squeezed her in a hug to comfort her.

"I knew we weren't that close during the period of out lives we call adolescence, but I remember you said that when you were singing it made you feel Alive. You knew that that was what you wanted to do with your life. I don't know what happened to those dreams but you loved it all the same."

Phoebe smiled as a thankyou for her sisters support.

The band stopped playing and the crowd clapped for the singer who had just finished. The lights dimmed and Phoebe stepped up, heart pounding. Then, after what seemed like an eternity to Phoebe, the lights went up and the crowd clapped her in with their expectations running through Phoebes mind.
