Disclaimer: Again as before, I don't own characters, they are merely pawns
in my masterpiece (ha!) of fan fiction. I'm not writing this for profit, so
don't sue me! Any coincidence in anything else is just that. This takes
place before the sisters get their powers and before Phoebe leaves for NYC.
I hardly have any idea which direction I'm going to take this, I'm just
trying to put it together as I go along. Feedback is appreciated.
AN: A GIGANTIC Thank you times infinity goes out to EVERYONE who has left me a note, suggestions, feedback, and love! I'm glad you're so eager for me to write more! I love you guys! I've been trying to get around and read some of your fics, as I'm hard pressed for time it's going to take me a while, be patient, and you'll see reviews from me soon!
Also, I'm sorry I didn't get this chapter up as fast as the others; I've been a bit busy!
With that said, anything left out or anyone, I'm sorry!

Ch. 5 - It's 3 AM I Must Be Lonely
Piper tossed slightly in her bed. Ever since everything that was happening with Grams, she hadn't been able to sleep. The hospital had stopped letting them stay nights there, and so they were forced to go home and spend their nights in restless sleep. Piper found this impossible. Grams had been in the hospital for 4 days. The doctor said she would be able to return home tomorrow, with special restrictions.
Piper sighed, feeling overcome with exhaustion that she couldn't tame. No matter what she did, she couldn't sleep. She even resorted to a warm cup of milk, though she always hated when Grams would suggest it. For the past few nights, she'd found herself 'talking' to Ty. Every night she'd start out tossing and turning and sighing. Eventually she'd throw her covers off in frustration. Soon after she'd find herself seated on her bed, leaning back against the headboard, her knees pulled up, hugging them close and talking candidly to what she claimed was just a voice in her head.
There was something about the situation that alarmed her, but when she would talk to him that faded away. It was as if he was always in the room with her, talking to her, comforting her, letting her ramble. Piper was pretty positive she wasn't imagining him, though she was still a bit guarded about it. She wasn't sure if Prue believed her or not. After she'd told Prue everything, neither of them had spoken about it since.
"Agh. . .this is useless." She kicked the covers off and pulled herself up against the headboard. "Ty?" She questioned.
'Yes, Piper, are you okay?'
"Well. . . I think I am, unless I'm not supposed to be?" She questioned.
'It's just alarming. Usually I don't get called unless it's an emergency.'
"Oh. . .do you not want to talk to me then?"
'No, that's not it at all. I'm just keeping everything in check.'
"Well done Guardian man." She smiled some.
'What can I help you with?'
"I can't sleep?"
'You're probably just stressed out about your Grandmother.'
"No, I don't think it's that."
'What do you think it is?'
Piper looked down and sighed. Her hand reached down and her finger traced the lines of her comforter.
"I don't know if I can tell you."
'How come?'
"Well, Ty. . .it's kind of something that I can't tell anyone unless I'm face to face."
'Really? Why is that?'
"I don't know-it's hard to explain."
'Do you want to try anyway?'
Piper bit her bottom lip.
"Okay. . .I'll try."
'Take your time.'
"I've been having these dreams lately. . .since you've started talking to me." Piper took a deep breath. She walked over to the window and looked out at the moon hanging up in the night. She hugged her arms around herself, leaning against the wall.
'What kind of dreams? Nightmares?'
"Not exactly. . .some of them are pretty awful. . .but some of them are. . .nice. . .amazing. I don't know." Piper sat back down on her bed, pulling her blanket up to her as she sat against the headboard.
'Do you want to describe them to me?'
"Well. . .I know they're set in the future. Maybe 5, maybe 6 years from now."
'Mmhmm. . .and how do you know that?'
"Well, because we're older. We look older. I think they go in some kind of order too-is that strange?"
'No, Piper that's not strange. Why don't you describe them all to me. . .start at the beginning?'
"Okay. . ." Piper took a deep breath.
AN: This chapter will be continued into the next chapter, as It will be.flash forwards so to speak. I'll explain in the Disclaimer and AN at the beginning of the next chapter! Also, I'm sorry the last chapter and this one are so short! I know how some of you really like long chapters! I promise the next one will be kind of long!
