CHAPTER 1: SISTERLY BONDING
"So Paige, exactly one week 'till the big day! Are you nervous?" Phoebe asked her younger sister. Piper, Phoebe and Paige were sitting down on paige's bed having a sisterly chat. It was the Saturday before Paige's wedding and she was showing no signs of panic.
"Not really, I'm more excited than nervous. Our whole relation ship went so fast and it makes these last couple of months feel like we've been moving in slow motion. I just can't wait to be married."
"I know exactly how you feel. Except I was a nervous wreck. I couldn't help but wonder what would go wrong, and sure enough....Prue ran off on a harley and got arrested for murder."
"Wow. She sounds like such an amazing person, I wish I could have met her."
"Oh she was. We didn't always get along, she thought I was too irresponsible. I always admired her though. She was fearless, and would give anything to protect the ones she loved, including her life. You would have loved her and she would have loved you too. You guys are so much alike, you even look the most alike, well when you had darker hair that is."
"Yeah well, I like it this way so too bad! I can't believe how much my life has changed. I know this sounds unbelievably cheesy, but four years ago, if someone told me I would fall in love and get married within nine months, with my two sisters, angel of a brother-in-law, and dead grandmother at the ceremony, I probably would have run away screaming. I always thought I'd end up with Glen, eloping and never finding my biological family."
"As long as you think you've changed for the better, then it's all good," pausing to look at her watch, Piper stood up and yawned, "Well, it's almost midnight and if you'll excuse me, I've got a family to attend to. Night Pheebs, night Paige." Piper gave each of her sisters a kiss on the forehead and walked up the stairs leaving Phoebe and Paige to talk amongst themselves for another hour before Phoebe went upstairs and Paige fell asleep.
The next morning, all three sisters woke up late, including Piper. Even on Sundays, when none of the sisters had to work, Piper was still awake before 7:00. It was almost noon now and Phoebe was stumbling into the kitchen asking for coffee, her eyes barely open. Paige, Piper, and Leo were sitting around the kitchen table with a 15 month old Wyatt sitting in his high chair and 5 month old Prudence sitting on Leo's lap while her twin sister, May, sat on Piper's lap. "Hey Sleepyhead! The coffee's all gone." Piper explained.
"What? No way! I just woke up, how can it all be gone?"
"Well, it's noon and I've been awake for an hour and Piper and Leo were already down here when I woke up." Paige answered.
"It's noon already?! Wow, now I remember why I never go to bed at 4:00 in the morning anymore." Phoebe replied, sitting down at an empty chair.
"4:00? You left my room before 1:00, is there that much of a time difference between floors?"
"Um, no. Well, I watched 'Kill it Before it Dies' and then I couldn't sleep."
"Phoebe, I've been telling you for 20 years to not watch that movie before you go to bed."
"Yeah well I couldn't help it. Man I wish Billy were real. He was so sweet to me!"
"Wait....isn't that movie from like the '60's? How did you meet him?"
"Yeah, a demon attacked us with old horror movie villains. Billy got pulled out too and Phoebe never quite got over him returning to the movie."
"Not true! I am so over him."
"Then why do you continue to watch the movie? And do not tell me it's because you like scary movies because I know you don't"
"Yeah well excuse me for wanting to marry the sweetest, cusest, most angelic man ever!" Phoebe exclaimed
"Too late Pheebs. I married the angel, you married the devil. Literally."
"Well, befor ethis gets any uglier, I'm gonna go get dressed," turning to Leo, who was silent since Phoebe entered the room, Paige added, "Greg wants you to call him, something about your tux." Without waiting for a response, she turned around and disappeared through her bedroom door.
"What was that about? She practically stopped talking the second I sat down." Phoebe inquired.
"Well, with you two reminiscing about the past and all, maybe she felt left out. I don't think she's ever gotten over the fact that she missed 25 years with you guys, 25 years that you shared with another sister." Leo answered.
"She couldn't possibly feel that way still. She's our sister, it doesn't matter if she's been with us for only three years. Oh my God, you're right Leo, we were talking about Prue last night too and she got kinda quiet."
"Oh now I feel terrible. But I think I know how to fix this. I'm gonna go up to the attic and see if it'll work. No one come up there. Leo sweetie, watch the kids for a little while please." Piper stood up suddenly and ran out of the kitchen, leaving Phoebe and Leo mystified. "What do you think she's up to?"
"You've known her longer than I have and you don't know what she's up to?" Phoebe just looked bewildered, not putting anything together.
"I have no idea Leo, just tell me."
"She's gonna try and summon Prue so Paige can meet her. That's what most of this is about, Paige is upset because she didn't have the 25 years with you guys that Prue did. Even if you didn't get along, those first years with Prue, established your relationship with her. It's what started your bond as sisters. Paige missed out on all that and she's probably starting to feel left out, what with all the memories the wedding is bringing back."
"Oh no, I think you're right. Should we let her?"
"Do you really think you can stop Piper?"
"Yeah, bad idea. I'm gonna go talk to Paige." Phoebe stood up to go talk to Paige but Leo orbed out and orbed back in, right in front of Paige's door. "Bad idea, let me first and then you can talk to her." Phoebe reluctantly sat back down, realizing that Leo was better at talking to Paige than she was.
A/N: Sorry it was so short but the next one will be longer, I promise. I hope you all liked it.
