Piper awoke bright and early to the loud sounds of Phoebe protesting. Groaning, she sat back and looked around. Had she honestly slept on the floor? Well, sort of on the floor. Her knees were resting on the floor, and her head on Phoebe's bed. She winced, struggling to make her legs cooperate.
"I really don't think it is necessary for you to keep taking blood! I mean, come on, you must have at least two liters of it already, just floating around here waiting for you to run tests," Phoebe argued, once again avoiding the nurse, who held a needle.
"Ms. Halliwell, it is the doctor's order. If you just sit still, it will be over in a few seconds," the nurse answered in an artificially calm voice. Phoebe sighed dramatically, stilling, then jumped when the needle entered her skin. Smiling, the nurse gently wiped an alcohol pad on her arm, then taped a wad of gauze over the barely bleeding spot.
"If you say 'See, that wasn't so bad, was it?' lady, you're going to be missing a limb when you walk out of here," Phoebe said with a cheerful smile. Taken aback, the nurse stayed silent and hurriedly left the room.
"Phoebe," Piper scolded, "She was only doing her job." Phoebe glanced at her, raising her eyebrows in a distinctively sarcastic expression.
"Her 'job' will leave bruises and holes in my body for weeks," she declared dryly. Piper laughed at her sister's exaggeration.
"Speaking of that, what are we going to do when they find out that the blood they took from Paige turns out to be totally different from the blood they took from you?," Prue asked, catching the last part of Phoebe's conversation with the nurse.
"I thought you were sleeping," Phoebe commented.
"A little slow today are we?," Prue wondered, recieving a glare from Phoebe.
"I don't know Prue. They didn't seem to notice that the patient sort of switched on them, hopefully that goes for blood as well," Piper answered her earlier question, cutting in before a fight started. Prue was about to toss out a saucy argument about how hopefully wasn't really a good answer when Doctor Stephens walked in.
"Morning Ms. Halliwell," he greeted. Phoebe grumbled a hello. "Ah, the nurse told me you were a bit cranky this morning," he said, laughing, "I have some news that might cheer you up some. The blood Nurse Raleigh took from you was the last of our torures for today. You are free to go." He turned his attention on Prue, who seemed to him the most in charge. "If you'll just fill out some paperwork for me," he offered. She quickly stood up and followed him out.
"Hear that, sis, we are getting OUT of this wretched place," Piper exclaimed, tossing her some clothes. Phoebe scrambled out of bed and into the small bathroom adjoined to the room. Piper stretched her aching muscles leisurely. A few minutes later had them all walking towards the exit.
"Uh, Prue," Piper started, "If Paige took the car when she left, then had Leo orb her back here, where would that leave the car?" Prue swore softly. That girl was so irresponsible!
"I guess we need to call Leo," Phoebe offered, "Leo." Leo orbed in beside them, causing Piper to hit both her husband and her sister.
"A little discretion," she reprimanded.
"Sorry," they both said in unison.
"Leo, Paige,being the thoughtless person that she is, left us here, stranded, without a way to go home. Can you orb us to our car?," Prue asked, exasperated. Piper and Phoebe both glanced at her, suprised at the acidity in her words.
"Sure," Leo agreed, placing one hand on her shoulder and the other in Piper's hand. Phoebe grabbed Piper's hand they were all swept up and away.
"Leo!," Piper yelled in annoyance, "I thought I told you discretion," Leo shrugged. "Just get in the car," she ordered, hitting him for the second time that day.
Glenn leaned over Paige's sleeping form and just stared at her for a minute. She was so perfect for him. Gently, he lowered himself and kissed her. Paige opened her eyes, then shut them again, soaking in the feeling of his lips caressing hers. After what seemed like a lifetime, he forced himself to pull away. "Morning sunshine," he whispered, content. Paige smiled up at him. "Morning," she answered, pulling him down for another kiss. It ended abruptly when they heard a door slam.
"Paige," Prue called tersely. Groaning, Paige sat up with some effort and made her way to the door.
"You coming?," she asked. Glenn lay back, his hands behind his head.
"And face the wrath of your sister? I don't think so," he tossed back.
"You noticed, too. I was thinking she didn't sound very happy," she said over her shoulder, then met her brooding sister in the hallway.
"Do you realise that while you were here, sleeping apparently," Prue ranted, "We were stranded at the hospital because someone carelessly left the car in a ditch?"
"You obviously got home fine," Paige pointed out. Prue struggled to keep her anger to a dull yelling. As opposed to murdering her sister...
"Yes, but we had to call Leo to take us to our car," Prue growled.
"Sorry," Paige tried. Boy, was Prue in a mood!
"Sorry really doesn't cut it," she said, preparing to let her have it.
"Prue, come on, it was a mistake. She was upset," Piper interrupted. Prue swung her anger from Paige to Piper with a turn of her head.
"Yeah, because she was being a whiny child. Phoebe was upset too, did you see her leaving our car on the side of the road?," she demanded testily. Paige took advantage of her freedom and snuck back into her room, closing the door resolutely.
"No, I didn't. You know, for someone who is supposed to be the older, more mature one, you sure are acting like a spoiled brat," Piper threw back.
"Well, while you guys are arguing, I'm going to go say hi to the sister you just verbally assaulted," Phoebe told them, storming into Paige's room.
"Phoebe, hey," Paige greeted, "What has Prue in such a lovely mood this morning?" Phoebe smiled.
"She's always this sweet, or didn't you know?," she answered, eliciting a smile from Paige.
"I really am sorry about the car...I wasn't thinking," Paige apologized. Phoebe hugged her.
"That's fine. You were just upset...perfectly understandable," Phoebe said.
"It isn't understandable to Prue," Paige muttered unhappily.
"I'm going to go shower," Glenn interjected, leaning down to kiss Paige on the cheek.
"OK, sweetie," she answered softly. Phoebe waited until he left the room to comment."
"He's a keeper."
"Oh yeah," Paige agreed.
"Well, what do you say we go and break up the war out there?," Phoebe asked, motioning towards the door. Paige reluctantly followed her sister back into the hallway. Looking around, they saw no one.
"I guess they decided enough was enough," Phoebe said, puzzled.
"We can only hope," Paige replied. Laughing, Phoebe threw an arm over Paige's shoulder.
"Come on, I'm starving, let's go get Piper to make us breakfast," she said, leading Paige down the staircase.
AN: Alright, what'd you think? Was it OK? I'm really starting to worry, I haven't liked any chapters since like chapter 4. :S Hope y'all enjoyed it, though!!!
AN: Any suggestion you guys have on makin' this better is OK by me!!!
