Chapter Four - "Prue, you always get involved, you're the big sister"
Prue made it into town about 20 mins later. She was always a little nervous about heading into
town. Her confident exterior hid that nervousness though. *come on Prue, stupid little rumors
don't seem to affect your sisters, so why do you feel it?* she wondered. "Because you're the
oldest and most responsible" she said quietly to herself.
Prue headed to the local herb store, except unlike everybody else in the town, she wasn't there
to buy the herbs for cooking - she needed it for potions.
"A cup of mandrake root and a small box of wormwood" she asked the lady behind the counter. Being
there reminded Prue of a time that Phoebe told Paige's boss' son that powdered toadstool was an
aprodisiac. Prue was suddenly snapped out her thoughts when she overheard some whipering. She
knew that the whispering was about her and her sisters...it always was. Going back a few years,
the Halliwell sisters had come into their powers, and they almost got caught vanquishing this
petty warlock. A man saw the smoke rising and spread all kinds of stuff about them to the
townspeople. Him being an athiest thought they were evil beings and had ruined their reputations
till this day.
"Do you have a problem?" Prue said firmly to Ginia - the biggest snob there ever was. Ginia just
lifted her nose and walked out of the store. She didn't like to be talked to like that and sure
enough all of her friends would know about it by days end. Prue turned around, payed for the
herbs and left the store.
Prue was so tempted to follow Ginia around all day and trick her into thinking she was mad by aid
of magic but she knew that her powers weren't made for personal gain. *Although getting rid of
Ginia would do the whole town some good* Prue grinned at the wonderful thought.
"Outch! Hey! Watch where your going...Prue?"
"Piper" Prue was happy to see her sister but not amused at how they ran into each other.
"I'm fine, thank you" Piper replied sarcastically. Prue could not be but amused by her sister's
constant sarcasm, she would feel weird not hearing it.
"What are you doing with all that stuff?" Prue asked as she bent down to pick up all the objects.
"There was a sale" Piper answered wryly as she tried to juggle all the packages in her arms.
"I SO have to cancel your credit" Prue said with the big sister tone.
"Huh? What, i can't have a life?"
"No, you can't have a credit card...which is your life!"
Piper laughed briefly and couldn't tell if her sister was being serious or not.
"Anyways, i gotta get home and put this stuff away" Piper said.
"Yeah, where? Your room is already full"
"So, i'll put some stuff in the shed then Prue"
"Nah-uh, the shed is for all our wiccan stuff, not to mention the book."
"So? What, you think i'm gonna be lookin in the BOS for a spell and get distracted by these
paintings?....although you gotta admit these ae pretty damn cool" Piper smiled proudly at her
find. Prue was yet again amazed at her sister's fun and cool, yet stubborn ways.
"Okay, well you have to move all the stuff yourself. I'm not getting involved"
"Prue, you always get involved, you're the big sister" Piper flashed her 'gotcha' smile.
"Okay so maybe you're right...in that case, you can have these back for now" Prue piled all of
the extra packages Piper managed to buy in Piper's already full arms.
Piper glared at her sister and then began to walk off without walking into any poles. Prue knew
she had one that round and continued to browse the shops...hopefully she would be able to walk
into Ginia 'accidentally' and send her flying.
