Immediately after Piper, Leo, Paige, and Glenn said goodbye to the other four, Glenn turned to Leo. "Leo, Paige and I are going to the park. Can you let mom know? I don't want her to freak like she did last time. Thanks. See ya later!!!" With that, Glenn turned and began running in the direction of the park. Paige, as soon as she noticed he left, turned and tried to catch up with him.
"Well, now that the rascals are gone, do you wanna head inside?" Leo asked as soon as the two little ones were out of sight. "Sure." said Piper, and they turned to go inside the house.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
"Hey, Paige, do you want to walk now?" Glenn asked after a few minutes. "'Cause, I mean, what use is going to the park if you use up all your energy before you get there?" "Yeah, sure. But, just to let you know, I would not have used up my energy by running there. I am NOT a weak little girl who hates running." Paige said, not even letting him imply that she wasn't energetic just because she was a girl. She had a very 'girl power' approach to things. "I know that. I wouldn't hang out with you if you were." said Glenn, slightly intimidated by his new found friend.
"Glenn, I'm just wondering, what did you mean by 'last time'?" Paige asked after catching her breath. "What do you mean?" asked Glenn. "You know, when you asked Leo to tell your mom we were at the park. You said you didn't want her to freak like last time." Paige answered. "Oh, THAT." said Glenn. "Well, a couple of weeks ago, I went to Buzz's Moderately Helpful Convenience Store right after school. The problem was, I forgot to tell my family where I was going. When mom came to pick me up, she couldn't find me anywhere. She began freaking out. She ran inside the school and asked some of the administrators if they knew where I was. None of them knew the answer. Mom was totally freaking by then. She went home, and found that my brothers didn't know where I was either. She called the police. So, when I got home, I walked in on my mom crying while talking to the police, with my brothers trying to comfort her. Everyone stared at me when I came in. The police gave me this major responsibility talk, and I got grounded until we moved here." "Oh, major bummer." Paige said, mentally reminding herself to tell her parents the story. "Yeah, totally. Wait, what's a bummer?"
"Getting the 'responsibility talk'. I got one when I accidentally ran the neighbors dog over when I took my dad's sitting lawn mower out for a drive." "You did WHAT?!?" "Oh, it's not dead if that's what you're wondering. Just severely deranged. I now call him 'Humpy' or 'Mr. Baldy'." Paige said with no emotion. "You can't be serious!" said Glenn, giggling. "Yes, I can. I'm about as serious as my neighbors were when they found out. No one in the neighborhood will let a dog within twenty feet of me now." "That is just too funny!" Glenn managed to say before he burst out in laughter.
"I also got one when I did that old tape-on-the-handle-of-the-sprayer-on-the-sink trick. My mom was really pissed. She was wearing a forty dollar sweater, which, by the way, I had to pay for. I haven't played one on them since." Paige said, shuttering at all the money she lost because of that little joke. Glenn then said, "Well, in my family, we play jokes on each other all the time. One time, I poured red dye into the water tank. Leo was the first one to take a shower after that. A few minutes after he went in, he walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair was bright red, and so was his skin. He would normally have just been plain old angry, but he had a date that night. I got grounded for two weeks, and had to pay to have the tank cleaned. But it was all worth it to see his date run away from the door laughing." "Oh, I wish I could have seen that one!" said Paige, smiling at the image that the story had placed in her head. "Come to think of it, I have a habit of playing jokes when my brothers have dates. The night before Billy had his first date, I shaved off his left eyebrow. In return, the morning after his date, which didn't go well, I woke up with my right eyebrow missing."
"Seems that you have a habit of ruining your brother's love lives, you mean." said Paige, with a giggle. "Yeah, I guess I do." "Well, then I know something we can do now!" exclaimed Paige, with a mischievous grin on her face.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Once they had set their school things down, Leo turned to Piper and asked "Hey, do you want to grab a snack from the kitchen?" "Yeah, sure." said Piper, and they headed into the kitchen.
Mrs. Trudeau was in the kitchen preparing dinner. She was facing away from Piper and Leo, she messing with the stove. "Hello, boys. What do you want for your snack?" "Um, hi mom." Leo said, immediately getting embarrassed. He liked Piper, and he didn't want her seeing how totally clueless his mom was. Mrs. Trudeau, hearing only one hello, turned around. "Oh, hey Leo. Who is this? And where are your brothers?" she asked pointing to Piper. "Oh, sorry Mrs. Trudeau. I'm Piper, I live next door. I'm here to help Leo catch up on missed schoolwork. Billy and Andy are with my sisters at my house, and Glenn went to the park with his friend, Paige." Piper said, a little shy. She wasn't very good at meeting new people. "Oh, hello Piper. You're the middle Halliwell, right?" Mrs. Trudeau asked. "Yes, I am." Piper replied. 'I can't believe she knew that! Andy must have talked more about us then he let on.' Piper thought, making a mental note to give Andy a good kick in the... "What would you like to eat, Piper?" Mrs. Trudeau asked, eyeing the two teenagers suspiciously. "May I please have a glass of water? I'm not very hungry." Piper asked. "Sure, dear." Mrs. Trudeau answered, then got up and got Piper her glass. "Thank you, Mrs. Trudeau." "Your very welcome, Piper. And what do want, Leo?" "I'll just have some Chex Mix and water. Please." Leo added after a pause. "Well, Leo, I think I should get the books ready. I'll be in the living room, okay?" Piper asked. "Sure. I'll meet you there, Piper." Leo said, then she turned to get everything ready for studying.
As soon as she was out of earshot, his mother put his snack on the counter and said "You like here, don't you?" Leo was a bit startled by the question. "Um....Uh..." "I take that as a yes. Well, if you want to ask her out, you have my blessing." Leo was very surprised at this. His mother NEVER liked the girls he liked. "Uh, thanks mom." he said, and then headed towards the living room. As Mrs. Trudeau resumed making dinner, she smiled. 'That girl is so polite. She's so much better than any other girl he's brought home. And, I can already tell she has had a positive influence on him. He said 'please' and 'thank you' for the first time in ages. I'm looking forward to seeing her around more. And to think, she lives right next door.'
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
"Hey, Leo." Piper said as soon as she saw him enter the room. "Hey, Piper." he replied, and then, after surveying the table, said, "I guess I missed a lot more then I thought." "You sure did. By the way, how much did you think you missed?" Piper asked. "Well, I don't know, but I didn't think that all the work I missed would end up overtaking the living room table." he replied with a laugh. 'Oh, his laugh is so cheerful and vibrant.' thought Piper as he sat down. "Well, what subject do you think we should review first?" "Um, how about math. I would like to get that over with first." he replied after thinking for a moment. "Oh okay." she picked up her math book. "I'll start with the first unit we did. It was about how to solve those weird train problems. Now, if train A..."
That is about all that Leo got. As he looked at her, he felt a flutter inside of him that he had never had before. Her flowing brown hair shimmered under the living room lights. Her thin-framed copper glasses really complimented her profile. She looked so beautiful that he just wanted to... 'Dammit, Leo! Get those thoughts out of your head. She's probably not even interested.' "Um, Leo? Do you know what the answer is?" Leo was suddenly brought back to reality. "Um, what was the problem?" Leo asked, totally embarrassed that he had drifted off while he was supposed to be learning. Piper sighed. 'Is he that bored already? He probably wants to be anywhere but here, learning, with me.' She thought, a little disappointed. "Here, I'll write down the problem." 'Oh, God.' thought Leo. 'She probably thinks that I'm a complete idiot now. I just ruined my chance.'
When she handed him the paper, their hands brushed against each other. Piper quickly pulled her hand away, blushing. She was so red that she could feel her face heat up. 'Oh, God. He probably thinks I'm some freak now, just blushing from brushing my hand against a boys'' While he was doing the problem, Leo was oblivious to the fact that Piper was staring at him. His hair shined under the lighting. He was so tall and had a really strong build. He was so gorgeous at that moment that Piper just wanted to...' Oh, stop it, self, stop it. He's NEVER going to be interested in you, no matter how much you dream about it. Just get over it.' "Done." Leo said, looking up into her eyes.
He immediately mesmerized. Her eyes were such a beautiful deep brown. To him, they had such great meaning in them. It seemed that every second he looked into them, they would tell him a different story.
Piper, meanwhile, was staring intently into his eyes. She was lost in the intense blueness. They conveyed such emotion that it was a little overwhelming for her.
She then did something she had never done before. She leaned over, and gave him a kiss on the lips. Her first kiss. He was a bit surprised by this, but didn't push away. He had kissed many girls before, but they had never made him feel the way he did then. A magnificent sensation swept over them both. The kiss went swiftly from a regular kiss to a very passionate one. They were so involved in the kiss that they were only brought back to reality when they heard a noise from the doorway.
"HEEHEE"
They immediately pulled apart and glanced at the doorway. There was Glenn, looking sternly at Paige, who was covering her mouth and had a delighted look in her eyes.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
"Smart, Paige. Very smart." Glenn whispered to Paige when he saw Piper and Leo pull apart. "Sorry." Paige whispered back, then covered her mouth to stifle oncoming giggles.
"You little..." Leo said, getting angrier with each passing second. Glenn and Paige were paralyzed. Glenn from what fear of what his brother was going to do to him, and Paige from excitement. "You know, at my house, we have a 'special' punishment for little kids who interfere with relationships." said Piper. "Do you think we should show these two, Leo?" "Yes, I do. I also think that I should add my own little twist on it." said Leo, showing an evil grin in Paige and Glenn's direction. "Awh, crud!" Glenn said, then grabbed Paige's hand and led her towards the back door. Leo and Piper were chasing after them. "You aren't getting away that easy, you little monsters!" shouted Piper jokingly as she ran out the door.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
The Trudeaus had a VERY large backyard, filled with an expanse of grass. Unfortunately, it had rained recently, so the grass was slippery, and it was really muddy.
Paige and Glenn were running away from the teenagers side-by-side. Paige suddenly slipped, and slid into a very large pool of mud. She was covered in mud from head to toe. While Leo was still chasing Glenn, Piper stopped to help Paige up. When Paige grabbed her hand, Piper immediately realized that it was a mistake. Paige, with an malicious grin on her face, pulled Piper down into the huge expanse of mud. Piper screamed on her way down. The boys, alerted by Piper's scream, looked in the direction of the mud. They saw that both the girls were covered in mud. Both boys instantly burst out laughing. They fell to the ground they were laughing so hard.
"Leo, I think I need your help up. I might have hurt something." Piper called out. This got Leo's attention. He didn't want Piper to get hurt. "Piper, what's wrong? You look fine to me." Paige whispered as Leo got up. Piper gave her a grin and a wink. "Oh, you're THAT kind of hurt!" whispered Paige. Then she called out, "Glenn, I might have hurt something, too."
As soon as the boys got over, they held out their hands to help the girls up. When the girls took them, they pulled their respective boy into the mud, too.
Everyone burst out laughing. "Paige, I should have known better. You wouldn't have admitted needing my help if it meant your life!" Glenn said in between bouts of laughter. "Neither would you, Piper." Leo added. He then jumped on Piper and wrestled her into more mud. They kept wrestling in the mud, while Paige and Glenn both cheered Piper on.
When Piper had pinned Leo, he said "Okay, okay! You win!" Paige and Glenn cheered. Their cheers turned to 'ew' when Leo started kissing Piper. "Well, Glenn, I think the spectacle is over." Paige said, turning away from the two. "Yes. I completely agree. But, you have to admit, the wrestling did look fun!" And with that, Glenn tackled Paige.
;;;;;;;;;;;;;
The four spent the rest of the time playing in the mud outside. Piper and Leo kissed a lot more, but not in the middle of games.
At around 6:30, Mrs. Trudeau called out the door. "Paige, your mom is here!" "AWWW!" all four groaned, sad that Paige had to leave. The other three went inside and met Mrs. Matthews.
"Hello, Paige. Oh, you are covered in mud. You'll have to get cleaned up right when you get home, young lady!" "Fine, mom." Paige said, rolling her eyes. Piper noticed, looking at Paige and her mom, that they looked NOTHING alike. "Bye, Paige!" "See ya, Paige" "I'll see ya tomorrow, Paige. You know, at school?"
After Paige's car drove off, Piper turned towards Glenn. "Hey, Glenn?" "Yeah?" he asked. "Um, Paige's mom..." "Looks nothing like her. I know, I know. I asked her when she showed me a picture of her family. She's adopted." "Oh." said Piper, immediately embarrassed for asking such a personal question. "Well, I better go get cleaned up!" said Glenn, and he ran into the house.
When Glenn was inside, Piper turned to Leo and said, "I guess I better go, too. I have to be home for dinner, and I want to take a shower tonight, too." "See ya, Piper." Leo said after she got her stuff. "Yeah, see you tomorrow. Don't forget to thank your mom for letting me come." She gave him a quick kiss and turned to go to her house. When Piper was halfway across the lawn, Leo called out "Hey, Piper, would you like to come to the Winter Carnival Dance with me?" Piper turned around and ran back up to him. "I would LOVE to!" she said, and pulled him into another passionate kiss. "Well, now I REALLY have to go!" she said, and took off towards her house.
Leo watched her go with a look of happiness in his eyes. That night, his last thought before drifting into dreamland was 'I think I could be falling for her.'
