Chapter 3: Happy Birthda-
Then add 1/3 cup raisins and stir.
"Okay..." Piper added the raisins to her muffin batter and started stirring. She was making birthday muffins for Grams.
"Piper you'll become a house wife always cooking like that. You and Prue." Phoebe helped herself to the fridge. "I only like to cook. Its not gonna be my job." "Uh-huh." Phoebe picked up the paper and looked at the Leisure section.
"Anything interesting?" Phoebe only answered with a "I gotta go. See ya later sis." Piper quickly looked at the paper that showed the old movie theater showing Kill It Before it Dies. " No. Nonononono." Piper ran out of the kitchen to chase after Phoebe. "Grams doesn't want you to see that movie. You're only 12." " 1, Grams is not here to tell me not to see that movie, and 2 Its a 50s horror movie Its not gonna be scary or anything. Don't worry."
Piper let her go knowing this would come back and bite her in the butt. She went back to her muffins. She started to pour the batter in the muffin trays.

Piper was bored. It was summer all over again. She let cooking take up her afternoon. She set out all the muffins in a circle and put candles in each of them. 20 muffins. 20 cinnamon raisin muffins. Piper smiled at her work. "Okay I got Grams' present." Prue was finally home from the mall. "You would not believe all the stuff I had to choose from." She opened a bag. " Look at all the tapes I got discount on.Oh! and take a look at this top! I am so lucky Grams' birthday is on a major sale day." Piper frowned.
"What about Grams gift?" "Oh yeah that. Here." She handed Piper a mug that said happy birthday on it. " Thats it?" "Wha- no. Here look at this." She placed the mug on the table and then picked it up. It started playing an annoying-ly high pitched happy birthday song.
"Yeah thats great Prue." Piper handed Prue the wrapping paper to wrap up the gift. She then went to put the muffins on the dinning table. Thats when Phoebe came home. "Did you enjoy the movie?" "Oh yeah. It was great. If only Billy were real." she sighed. " So is Grams home yet?" "No. So go up and change before Prue comes in and asks where you were." Phoebe nodded and ran up the stairs. But then Prue came in and asked that dreaded question. 'Phoebe? What are you doing? Where were you? Weren't you suppose to stay home?" Okay that was more than 1 question. So sue me.
"Uhh. Well.. I... I went to the movies." "Really? What did you see?" Prue folded her arms. "I saw... Kill it Before it Dies." Phoebe turned to go up stairs but Prue was faster. "You saw what!? Phoebe, Grams told you not to see that movie. No one gave you permission to do this." " I got permission Prue." Phoebe came down the stairs to come face to face with her eldest sister. 'Oh yeah? From who?" "Piper." Prue turned to glare at Piper. "Why would you give her permission to see a movie Grams said for her not to see and not tell me! I am in charge here and I would like some respect." "First of all Prue to get respect you have treat others with respect." Phoebe yelled in Prue's face. Prue tried to stare Phoebe down. Piper didn't want to get in it. "Well Piper? What do you have to say?" Piper looked down to the floor as she said, " Yeah Prue I said it was okay," Prue looked up, exasperated. 'And I'm sorry." Piper finished. "Sorry that you let her go or sorry that Phoebe got caught?" Piper looked up. "Hey wait a minute-" "You wouldn't have told me that Phoebe had gone to the movies. Am I right?" Piper started to get pissed. Prue was blowing this way out of proportion. "Prue you're not queen of the universe. It was Grams who told me not to go to the movie. Not you. Stop turning this around and trying to make it all about you. For once stop thinking you're all high and mighty when you're not!" Phoebe hadn't said anything for awhile and let that all go in one big yell.
Prue looked down and then grabbed her coat and headed for the back door. SLAM Phoebe ran upstairs to her room. SLAM
Piper was left alone in the dining room. With muffins, a movie ticket stub and an annoying-singing coffee mug.
"I'm back and ready for a party!" Grams shut the front door behind her. "Where is everyone?" She looked at Piper who raised her head to show a tear- stained face.
"Oh Piper." Grams ran over to Piper and held the crying girl. Piper sobbed in her grandmother's arms.
Then add 1/3 cup raisins and stir.
"Okay..." Piper added the raisins to her muffin batter and started stirring. She was making birthday muffins for Grams.
