Prehistoric Problems

Chapter 2

By: Daisyz, Andie-p, and Aqua4

Disclaimer: We don't own any of the characters from Charmed, except maybe the Oatmeal Man, but that's just a technicality. We're just borrowing the characters for the purpose of the story; we'll give them back.eventually.

AN: Okay, this is from Phoebe's POV, meaning, that it was written by me (Andie-p). ok, enjoy.

"God!" I groan for the third time. My room looks like a war zone from all the clothes I've thrown around. "Phoebe, can you turn in your column by tonight?" I said mocking Jason. "Sure, why not? It's not like I have anything to do. I mean saving the world from demons, and warlocks can wait!" I said chucking another shoe into a pile.

"Whoa!" Piper exclaimed. "Angry much?"

"Actually, yeah. I'm just tired of having my plate so full. I want to have a real life, but I have this 'the almighty charmed ones' thing."

"Aww.sweetie. Let's get Paige and get some ice cream before we have to make an appearance at the party. I mean, we're already late, so why not?" she said, trying to comfort me.

"That'd be great. Where is Paige anyway?" I asked. We start maneuvering our way out of the Labyrinth of clothing.

"Oh, she's still looking for wrapping paper"

"Oh." I begin to make my way down the steps when I heard a thump. "Piper.what was that?" I inquired nervously.

"How the hell should I know?"

I start creeping down the stairs, and peer over the banister. There lying in the middle of the floor is and oatmeal box. "Did you leave an oatmeal box in the middle of the floor?" I looked back at her.

"No. I thought Paige put it away.that girl." She muttered as she went in search of our other sister. I stood there like an idiot, just staring at the box until Piper came back with Paige in tow.

"I told you already Piper; I put it away, honest." Paige assured Piper. Thump! At that, three sets of eyes peered over the banister. I saw a figure emerge from the shadows.

"Oh crap." I gasped. It was the ever famous Quaker guy from the oatmeal box.

"See, I told you the Quaker dude was evil!" Paige triumphantly grinned.

"Yeah, yeah. But what do we do about it?" Piper asked as-a-matter-of- factly, effectively wiping the smirk from Paige's face.

The Oatmeal Man looked around, and spotted the toy dinosaur we were planning on giving Darryl Jr. for his birthday. We slowly started to walk down the stairs, deciding that we should so *something*.

"Alright Miss smarty pants, what's your big plan now?" I scoffed in Paige's direction. She didn't say anything, because she was staring at the toy dinosaur that had begun to grow.

"That can't be good." Piper muttered.

The Oatmeal Man pointed to the dinosaur, and then outside; and the dinosaur disappeared. We each looked at each other with an expression of shock plastered to our faces.

"That definitely can't be good." Piper again muttered.

"Where'd it go?" I asked.

"I think it's outside." Paige remarked off-handedly while leaning around a corner to get a better look out the window that was positioned across the room.

"So you're saying that there's a real, live dinosaur in our backyard?" I asked, trying to make sense of what was happening. Without warning, the ground starts to rumble, and we hear a loud roar.

"No.that means there's a dinosaur loose in San Francisco." Piper answered.

"How the hell are we supposed to fix that?" Paige asked tentatively. Before we could answer, the Oatmeal Man had spotted us. He cackled evilly, and pointed at us; then everything went black.

I woke up on the ground, surrounded by a multitude of trees, and various exotic flowers that I'd never seen before. "Where am I?" I groaned, struggling to sit upright. I heard two other moans coming from either side of me.

"What the hell just happened?" Piper queried, standing up and brushing herself off.

"The Oatmeal Man." Was the only thing that Paige said.

"Are we where I think we are?" I asked, looking at our surroundings. I hoped upon hope that we were just in some remote forest somewhere in California.

"Where would that be?" Piper asked, also looking around.

"Umm.Prehistoric times?" I muttered dejectedly.

"Oh yeah. I *definitely* think so." Paige said.

I started to get frustrated at Paige's lack of helpful contributions to the situation. "You know, this is all your fault. You were complaining about how you needed a change in scenery. Is this a big enough change for you?!?" I yelled at my younger sibling.

"How is this my fault? I told you guys about the creepy Quaker dude, but you didn't listen!" she yelled back.

We kept firing insults back and forth, and arguing about how we have no idea of how to get back to Wyatt, Leo, and our 'normal' lives. Fed up with our childish behavior, and taking over as "mommy", Piper yelled," Would you two shut up?!? It'll be okay! We just.just have to think of something."

She sighed, and I glared at Paige, and sat down on a nearby tree stump, hoping that we would figure something out soon.
