Chapter 4: In a Snowglobe
Author's note: Thank you so much for the reviews! In this chapter about 2
months have passed since chapter 3. I added some made up characters in this
one, so the names Shannon and Ana are people I added who may pop up from
time to time.
Piper has been making some changes to herself. She wears Phoebe's cloths
and has more friends. She has started acting a little more like Prue.
Piper stepped back to look at her work. Gingerbread men. Piper looked at her friend Ana Copal to see what she thought. "They'll look better when we decorate them." She said. Ana picked up a cookie and bit its head off. " They taste really good though." Ana placed her long black hair in a pony tail. 'Sure we'll decorate them. Piper went to the cupboard to get out the frosting and jellybeans to decorate the cookies. "Mmmm. I knew I smelt baking. And I knew thats where I could find you Piper." Prue had come down to the kitchen and took two cookies. "I need to ask you a favor." She looked at Ana,obviously wanting her to leave. " Well I had to head home soon anyway. Save me a cookie." She left out the backdoor. "I need to talk to you about the snowglobe." Piper smirked as she put the cookies on a plate. "You know Prue its just a dance." "No, Piper its way more than that. Andy asked me and I think we might have a shot at being the winter king and queen. We just got back together." "Yeah like that never happens." She sat down. "What does this have to do with me?" "Well...Grams said...that I could go,if you go." "Well then I guess you're not going." Piper left the kitchen. Prue followed her. "Piper come on. We have to go. We have to see the look on Shannon Diamond's face when I win Snow queen." Piper snorted. "Snow queen?" "Or Winter Princess, something like that." "Shannon is a Cheerleader with a capitol C. She might win." "Shes also a Bitch with a capitol B. And stop being a downer. Come on Piper, please come. You might have fun." "Fine. I'll go." "Yes! Thank you Piper." Prue ran up the stairs and then ran back down. "Dress." "Say what?" Prue grabbed Piper and they ran out the door.
~~~ "What color is it?" "Light purple." Piper placed her dress on her bed. 'Nice color. What about your hair?" "Phoebe will cover that and Prue is doing my makeup. Hey... why aren't you going to the dance?" "Is it required of me?" "No." "Okay then. Call me tomorrow okay?" "Sure. Bye" Piper looked at her dress and sighed. ~~~~~
"Andy doesn't the gym look great?" Prue squeezed Andy's arm as they walked through the gym. Piper looked around and didn't think bad about the dance. She didn't have a problem with it. Piper too a seat on the sidelines for about an hour watching everyone else dance. She ate about half the pigs in a blankets before Justin came. "Having fun?" "Hardly. Where have you been?" "I was hanging out with the San Fransico High girls who crashed the dance. One of them, Paula, is really cool. Here come meet her." Justin led Piper to the other side of the gym. He tapped a girl's shoulder. She turned around. It was Phoebe, in a wig. She blushed. "Piper meet-" " I know who this is Justin." Phoebe's eyes widened " We go way back. We're almost like sisters. Hey... uh .. could you get us some punch?" "Sure" Justin walked away and Piper grabbed Phoebe and pulled her aside. "Paula? Piper hissed. "It was the only name I could think of, okay?" "Phoebe, what are you doing here?" "You and Prue get to have all the fun." "Phoebe." " I was at a sleepover and one of the girls thought it would be fun if we crashed this place. You're not gonna tell Prue that I'm here are you?" Piper looked away and sighed. It was Grams Birthday all over again. "I don't want to get in the middle." "Please? Please Piper?" "Fine. God why is everyone begging me for stuff?" "Here's the punch." Justin handed each girl a cup.
"Can I have everyone's attention please? IT is now time to announce, this year's Snow Queen is.... Drumroll please. "Well I saw this coming......Prudence Halliwell!" Piper looked around as everyone cheered and congratulated Prue. She looked over at Shannon who looked like a menstrual case. Prue went up to stage to receive her snow globe.It had a queens crown in it. You would think it was Prom. And Prue was only a Junior. Shannon walked out of the dance with her date. Phoebe got asked to dance, and said yes and Prue was looking for Piper.Phoebe kept her back to Prue. "Isn't this exciting?" "Like the super bowl." Said Piper. Prue sat in the chair next to Piper.Prue was eying Phoebe(not knowing it was her) and Phoebe could feel her gaze. Prue was about to speak when Phoebe came up to them. "I can't take it. Prue? Hi. Yeah, here I am. I crashed this dance. I mean, me and my friends did and I just can't take the fact that you're here and it makes me feel guilty and you were staring at me and I had to come and talk to you. And Piper had nothing to do with this." Phoebe took a breath. Prue stared at her. She turned to Piper, "Did you know about this?" Piper just got up and left the gym. Leaving Prue and Phoebe at it. She opened the door and breathed in the cool night air. She walked over to the quad and sat at one of the benches. She looked up at the starry sky and sighed. It was a nice night outside, but inside it was hell. She took it all in and then- "Piper! There you are. We were looking all over for you." Prue and Phoebe headed Piper's way. "You didn't have to run out like that." Phoebe said. She sat down next to Piper. "I hate getting in the middle." Piper said, Prue sat next to her on her other side. Making Piper in the middle. "Looks like you don't have a choice." Phoebe said with a smile. Piper smiled too. The three girls sat there joking about what it was like being the oldest, youngest, and middle children. They were having fun until they heard a scream. All three jumped up. "What was that?" Piper asked. "I don't know but it came from the senior parking lot." Prue got up and ran over to where the scream came. Piper and Phoebe ran after her. Piper listened out and heard struggling. "Over there." Piper pointed to a red pick-up. They went closer. "Oh my God." Said Prue. She was looking at what was inside the pick-up in the front seat. It was Shannon and the senior she showed up with. He was trying to rip off her dress and get into the front seat. "What are we suppose to do?" "Help her." Prue ran up to the car and yelled, " Hey jackass, over here." He turned around. "Hey Bitch, mind you own damn-" Prue punched him out and then pulled him out of the car onto the parking lot ground. Phoebe opened the door on the passenger side and helped Shannon out. Piper took the keys out of the ignition and put them in her purse. She could throw them out when they got home. A place he'll never find it. "Are you okay?" Phoebe asked, holding up a shaken Shannon. She nodded. "Yeah, thanks. I'm fine." She stood up on her own."You didn't have to do that." She said. "No, we didn't have to. But we did." Said Prue. She walked over to Shannon. "You better get inside before he gets up." "Yeah." Shannon left toward the gym. "Well that was interesting." Said Piper. "Oh, yeah. But I kinda felt like, we were suppose to be here, you know? Destiny." "Destiny?" Prue asked. They headed back to the gym. "Yeah, because see if I hadn't of crashed this dance, We wouldn't have argued and sent Piper outside which led us outside which let us hear Shannon's scream and let us save her. See? Destiny." "Whatever." But Piper couldn't help but feel if Phoebe was right. "But it felt good." Prue said. The other sisters agreed. "So... what are you going to do with keys Piper?" "I'm not sure yet. I was thinking throwing it in a lake, or shipping them to London." "Hmmm..... London sounds good. "The girls laughed as they walked home. But just before the reached Prescott street: " Now about crashing the dance..." "God Prue..." "Do realize I have to tell Grams..." "No, you want to tell Grams...." "...What if a teacher caught you?...." "Didn't you leave Andy at the dance...." ".....What if you couldn't find your friends and couldn't get back to your friends house?....." "Morbid much..." "....What if it were you in that car and not Shannon...." "See there is this little invention called pepper spray...."
Piper shook her head and took the keys out of her purse. She dropped them in Grams's flower bed. While her sisters carried on, Piper breathed in the fresh cool night air and could swear she smelt the wonderfull smell of her mother's perfume.
