Chapter 9 - "get away from there, you crazy lady."

(A week later)

The town of Tari was usually quiet. Although lately many people had been coming in and going out

from nowhere. The town was real busy and it was good for the local shop owners.

Prue was making more money in her job. She worked in the small museum, which was really popular.

She hadn't been working there long but she had enjoyed it so far. She wasn't originally going to

interview for the job but Piper told her to go for it. Piper knew that Prue knew a lot about old

artefacts and she knew that Prue's talent was being wasted away working in a bank.

Piper was happy about all these people passing through as well. She owned this place that would

have made a great club, if the people in the town actually went to clubs. They were either too

busy with work, or weren't the type to go to night clubs. Instead, Piper held functions every now

and then for whoever hired her. This was good, Piper didn't have to work all the time and when

she did, she made a lot of money. Piper had a good reputation, Ginia even liked her work. That

would have pleased Piper but she hated how Ginia always gave a bad wrap on Paige and Phoebe.

Phoebe was busy now too. She wrote coloumns in the local paper from time to time. If anyone had

any problems, they usually would ask each other and not bother to print it in the paper. Phoebe

had many questions coming from the new comers. She decided to tackle them all at once and write

one large coloumn telling them about the town and it's history - she had Prue to help her a bit

with that part.

Paige was bored, she now had no job. It had been a week since she had worked. Very few clients

kept in touch with Paige. She still helped them talk about their problems, but she couldn't do

much more as she didn't have the resources to fix their lives up. Paige decided to work on the

house and pay more attention to her sisters lives. Paige helped Piper with her last function,

maybe she could help Piper again with the next one.

Prue was at work, so was Phoebe. That left Piper and Paige home. Piper had seemed to be pacing

up and down the house all day. Paige noticed that and tried on numerous occaisions to get her

attention.

"Piper!" Paige yelled.

"What's a matter Paige?" Piper was startled.

"Nothings a matter with me, i was trying to ask about you. You seem very distant lately."

"Oh, sorry."

"That's all you got to say 'oh, sorry'?" Paige was concerned but she had a feeling whatever her

sister had to say wouldn't be that much of a problem.

"No, i just, i wanna see Leo again. It's been a week and he hasn't called me."

Paige was relieved, it was just another guy issue, nothing more. "Well he could be anywhere Piper.

He's a flying doctor. Anyways, if he's taken a whole week not to contact you, i say he's not

worth worrying over." Paige wanted to make Piper feel better but not to drive her away from him.

He seemed like a great guy.

"Yeah well i say he is worth it. I don't know, there's just something about him that draws me in."

"This isn't just a 'i'm horny and he's a gorgeous guy' thing is it?"

"No! Paige i can't believe you just said that!" Piper was agreeing to some degree on the inside

but she didn't want to let her little sister know that.

"Well, i was just speakin the truth. You want him, you want him bad."

"Ogh...okay so what if i do? That's not against the law"

"I knew it! There is a wild child inside of you" Paige bent over and got close to Piper's chest.

"Hello wild child! Are you in there? Come out, come out where ever you are!"

"What the hell?" *lol* "get away from there, you crazy lady."

Piper felt better and Paige knew she had done her job.

"Yep, i still got it." Paige was proud.

"That you do." Piper then reached for the phone.

"Who are you calling?"

"The operator. Ima see if they have the numba for a certain flying docta" ;)
