Has ne one else noticed that the English language doesn't make sense? Writers write but why don't fingers fing, if teachers taught why don't preachers praught, why do noses run and feet smell, English muffins weren't invented in England and French fries weren't invented in france, there is now ham in a hamburger or egg in eggplant, there is neither a pine or apple in a pine apple. And finally to shut down your computer you have to click START. My sister emailed me these and some others!!!

All In The Family For Once

Chapter 9, Ok..What Exactly Happened Here?

"Ahh, you succeeded I see!" Grams' voice drifted through the air in its own special way.

The young girls turned round and like a bad movie all exclaimed "Grams!" at the same time. Three bodies flung themselves, carrying Paige with them, at the lady, who was subjected to vigorous hugs and kisses. Piper disentangled herself from the knot of arms and legs and stood slightly open mouthed at Grams.

"You! You knew this was gonna happen and you didn't warn us or tell us what to do or give us any clues or help us or anything!" Piper stopped ranting and thought for a split second before continuing. "You put Paige in danger! To try and test us! What the hell is wrong with a friggin' multiple-choice test! How could you, mom left us to you to take care of us and you go and get some demon to kidnap Paige!!! Or was it even a demon! Maybe it was just you, you were so hell bent on this Charmed Halliwell Prophecy shit that you took Paige and it was you beating her and kicking her! How the hell..how.why!!" Piper's rage was starting to frighten everyone and even Piper herself has lost track of what she was saying, or rather screaming.

Suddenly, Piper broke off and grabbed her head in pain and sunk down to the floor.

"Piper?" everyone questioned together.

"Oww!" came the response.

"I've never been that angry before, and then I got these pains in my head!" she mumbled with her eyes shut.

Grams came over and knelt beside her. "Honey, I didn't know any of that would happen, the elders saw what was happening and thought it would be a good idea to use the opportunity as a test and took me up there with them. I argued with them the whole time I was gone but they are incredibly powerful beings but that doesn't mean they aren't total cretins!" Grams said trying to (A/N cretins is a word my dad uses and I don't know whether it exists or not) explain.

"I'm sorry Grams I know none of this was your fault, but you were the easiest to blame, and all the anger and hurt I've been feeling just sorta came out! I'm really sorry!" Piper said looking ashamedly at the older woman. "Stupid elders!" she finished.

"Its ok honey, now lets get Paige upstairs, she'll be fine in a day or two. And you should all probably get some rest after that. Talk about the deep end!" Grams said taking control and allowing her girls to lose the responsibility they had been carrying whilst she was gone.

Prue and Phoebe picked up their little sister, who they now felt so close to but who had previously bugged the hell out of them. Piper, still feeling funky from her outburst and being unconscious, lent on Grams, and the unconventional family moved upstairs.

Paige was laid down on her bed and Piper on hers. The others also retired to their respective rooms and it was mutually agreed that nothing else but sleep was in order for anyone until the morning.

Piper had managed to stay awake despite the overwhelming need to sleep that had rushed over her as soon as her head touched the pillow. She listened, with her fingers holding her eyelids open, for the sound of Phoebe's breathing to even out, signalling she was asleep. She swung herself upright and using anything and everything to lean on, slowly and painfully made her way across the hall.

The door to Paige's room opened effortlessly revealing her body curled up, the only thing the energy Paige had left could do. Piper directed her exhausted body to the other side of the bed where she curled up against Paige, arms encircling the frail body like a protective shield. She pushed the hair from Paige's face and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. Everything now seemed right in Piper's world.
