Prue Halliwell sat at the kitchen table reading the newspaper over her
second cup of coffee while Piper cooked them up a breakfast as usual. Paige
came thrashing in, dropping and spilling the contains of her purse,
"goddamn it!" She yelled as she angrily picked everything up.
Prue and Piper shared a worried glance before Prue helped her pick up the remaining items and Piper asked, "honey, what's wrong?"
Paige's head shot up, "What's wrong? I'm up at 7, I had my fourth cold shower of the week, I'm clumsier than ever and I have to go into work to be a lapdog for a social worker too cheap to promote me! That is what's wrong." She told them as she plopped down in a chair and sighed.
"Hey, it can't be that bad." Prue tried to reason.
"It is. I'm sick of the same routine, week in week out."
Prue and Piper always knew Paige would have a hard time with the boring life a full time work brings, and today was one of her 'I hate this' days.
"Take the day off." Piper suggested.
Paige rolled her eyes, "And call my non existent friends? I only have Glenn and he's in Athens. I should have gone with him, he told me I'd hate a 9 to 5."
Prue felt sorry for her baby sister. Although she knew Paige didn't hate her job, she just needed a little break. "How about we all take the day off, declare it a sister day?"
Paige perked up at the idea and Piper almost instantly agreed. "That's set then, all we have to do is call in sick and we're free for some sisterly bonding."
********* Half an hour later they had called in sick, had breakfast and were ready to plan out the day.
"Videos!" Paige shouted as normal, she was the movie buff of the three.
"Tonight." Prue and Piper said in unison knowing Paige would have them watching movies all day and night if she had the choice.
Paige pouted, "fine."
"How about we go bowling?" Prue suggested. "We haven't been in years."
Paige was enthusiastic, "Yeah, we haven't been in years but I'll still whip your asses." she grinned.
"Do we have to?" The middle Halliwell whined, he always hated bowling since she could never hit any pins.
Prue and Paige looked at each other then nodded at Piper.
Piper sighed, "Fine but only if we go into China town after for lunch."
"Deal!" They both shouted.
"Then movies?" Paige asked in a hopeful tone. Piper and Prue just rolled their eyes. "Sure missy Paige" Prue answered.
The day went by quickly, more then desired. They went bowling, but for the first time Piper actually like it. She got 3 strikes, and eventually won the game. Prue and Paige were happy for her, but vowed to never let her win again. Piper just kept gloating about it all the way down to China town, which drove them crazy.
When they were little, Patty would often take them to China town. As kids they would always want to buy things for themselves, but Patty always made them buy something for each other. They each had to buy something for the other two. That way they each got two gifts. At first they hated it, because most often what the other one of them buys, the other wont like. As they grew older learned to enjoy it, because they soon realized it's the thought that counts. That tradition had lived on, even after the death of their mother, and is still going on today. They are so used to getting presents for each other that it's become second nature when they go shopping together.
While in China town they first just walked around together just browsing the stores, then just subconsciously wonder their own ways. It's a good thing they invented cell phones, thankfully each of them had one, so meeting back up again was no problem for them.
Piper had wondered into a household remedy store that sells homemade medicines, perfumes, recipes etc.She decided to get Prue some nice cinnamon scented perfume and Paige some medicine for cuts and scratches. During Paige's free time, she's always into something, which usually gets her hurt. Piper laughs silently as she imagines the reaction Paige would have when she saw what she got her. She went up to the register and paid for the items, she just choose to browse some more in other stores, thinking that her sisters probably weren't done yet.
Paige was currently looking through the toy store. For reasons she would never know, just something about toys just brought out the child in her. Every time she went through a toy store she had the excitement of a 5 year old hoping to get a new toy. She wondered through many aisles, full of action figures, Barbie dolls, and other little toys. Then she came across the stuffed animals, she saw the most wonderful bear, which was perfect for Piper. It was a little bear with chefs had with a wooden spoon in its hand, and an apron that says 'kiss the cook'. Next to it was a little bear with glasses on with a briefcase in its hand and a shirt that says 'work work'. That's perfect for Prue, Paige thought. Prue was a workaholic, and was often working late on most nights and went to work early in the morning. That's one of the reasons why we don't have many sister days. Same as Piper, Paige continued to browse the store, just waiting for the calls of her sister telling her they were ready.
Prue was walking aimlessly through the little mall area in China town. She had a lot on her mind. Her problems at work, and her social life, that is currently at a stand still. Some would wonder, where does she go to escape it all? Easy, she goes home, to her sisters, her family. Her sisters, Piper and Paige.keep her grounded in life. She couldn't imagine life without them.but she couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. In the pit of her stomach she knew that something was just not right, she choose to ignore it.for now. She walked into a jewelry store, and saw a sign that said 'Purchase 2 bracelets and get free engravings on both'. Prue got the perfect idea; she purchased those 2 bracelets, and got her engravings on them. Then as she walked out the store and picked up her cell phone to call her sisters. She called Piper first.
"Hello?" asked Piper.
"Hey Pipe, it's Prue I'm ready to go, are you done yet?"
"Yeah I'm ready, let's just meet back at the car, ok?"
"Ok, I'll call Paige and get her to meet us at the car, and then we can exchange our gifts when we get home, that cool with you?"
"Sure" Piper answered.
"Bye" Prue hung up the phone and called Paige. Paige was also ready so she headed to the car. When they meet back at the car, glances were made to try and see what they got each other.
"Stop peekin' Paige" Piper told her as she lightly smacked Paige's head back from looking in her bag. Prue just shook her head in amusement; Paige always tried to peek at her presents before hand. "Oh Fine poo head" Paige stuck out her tongue at her. Piper mocked her and did the same thing.
"Children, children.please refrain from excessive tongue showing in the car," Prue said jokingly as she opened the car door.
"Bite me dude" Piper and Paige said in unison, they glanced at each other and then burst out laughing. Prue tried to keep a straight face but couldn't, she soon burst out laughing too.
"Picture time!" Paige yelled as she dived in the front seat of the car to get the camera.
"Everyone say Prue is a poo head!" Paige yelled as she held the camera up in front of all of them.
"Hey am not!" Prue said in defense. Piper and Paige just giggled.
"!.2.3" everyone stuck their tongue out as she took the picture.
"K Missy Paige, in the back!" Piper exclaimed.
"Why?" Paige whined.
"First cause you called us poo heads, and second cause you were born in the back of the line, so it fits to a tee" Prue reasoned.
"It wasn't my fault!" Paige said as she got in the backseat. Prue and Piper just shook their heads, as they drove off to the manor.
Prue and Piper shared a worried glance before Prue helped her pick up the remaining items and Piper asked, "honey, what's wrong?"
