SHANNENFAN FROM HOLLAND - I am!

P3CHARMED4EVA - Thank you! And, P/L is my favorite 'ship! I will have lots more P/L!

JANAROSE - I am not going to say anything on the topic of death, but I can tell you this: yes to the sister question! I have already figured out how it is going to happen. Oh, and the pranks. Glenn's were just ideas I had, but Paige's is real. The perpetrator was coughmecough. Really! Except, it was a great Dane that was run over, so it is just bald, not mutated, like Paige's neighbor's dog. And, the neighbors in the 'hood forgave me after about three years. I know, very embarrassing. But, I was only eleven! Who can blame sweet little me:) Happiness!

Later, Prue and Andy went inside to see what Billy and Phoebe were doing. They walked in on the beginning of Kill It Before It Dies.

"Surprise, surprise," Pure whispered to Andy. "Phoebe is pushing her boyfriend into watching her favorite movie."

"Oh, yeah, this is her favorite movie," said Andy. Pure looked at him incredulously. "I mean, this is Billy's favorite movie, too."

"Oh," said Pure.

"Hey, you two," Phoebe said, pausing the movie and turning to face them. She had just noticed that they were in the room.

"Hey, Phoebes. I'm just wondering, why did you just start the movie?" Pure knew that her sister would normally watch the movie before doing anything else.

"We didn't just start the movie. We're watching it for the second time!" Billy answered with a smile on his face.

"Oh, it figures," said Andy teasingly. Pure then glanced up at the clock on the VCR.

"Hey, it's after 6:30. Where's Piper?"

"She's next door. But, I don't know why she isn't here yet." Phoebe replied.

Just then, Piper entered the room. She was covered in mud. Her glasses were in her hand, and her backpack was slumped lazily on one shoulder. She was laughing silently. She looked towards the other four, and realized that they were all staring at her.

"Don't ask," she said a smile still on her face. When she reached the steps, she turned . "Boys, your mom is almost done with dinner, so you might want to head over there. Also, don't even think about taking a shower tonight. Leo and Glenn looked the same way I do. Speaking of showers, I'm gonna go take on." And with that, she ran up the stairs.

"I wonder what happened," stated Andy, and then he looked at the clock. "Billy, I'm thinking we should take Piper's advice. It is about time for dinner."

"Fine, Andy. I just have to get my stuff." Billy jumped off of the couch.

"I'll join you," said Phoebe, both wanting alone time with Billy and wanting to not be in the same room as Prue and Andy.

"Well, I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow morning. You will be needing a ride, correct?" Pure asked, knowing that Andy wouldn't be able to take his car. It could only seat two comfortably.

"Yes, and could you..."

"Take your brothers too. Yeah, it'll be fine.

"Good." Andy headed towards the door.

"Hey, what about a 'thank you'?" Pure asked jokingly. Andy walked over and gave her a passionate kiss. "Oh, there it is," Pure whispered after pulling away. After another swift kiss, Andy said goodbye. Well, after pulling his brother off of Phoebe, that is.

"Bye, Phoebe! Oh, and you too, Pure," said Billy as his brother dragged him out of the door.

"See you tomorrow, Billy!" Phoebe called after him, a lovesick look in her eyes.

T:T:T

About half and hour later, Pure and phoebe were sitting at the dining room table while Grams put the finishing touches on dinner.

"So, Phoebe, how did you little date go?" Pure asked. She had thought that Phoebe was a little young to be dating, but then she remembered that her first date was when she was seven, so she didn't question Phoebe's judgment.

"I think it went well..." Phoebe stopped suddenly. She noticed that Grams just came into the room, and Phoebe had learned not to talk about dates near Grams. She would always ask for every detail, even details that her grandchildren didn't want to give. Pure, who didn't notice Grams, looked at her sister questioningly.

"Phoebe, why did you... oh." Phoebe had pointed inconspicuously to Grams, and Prue finally noticed.

"Hello, darlings. You don't have to stop talking just because I came into he room. Although, this time, I'm glad you did. I need you to help me set the table." Grams said. Piper normally helped her set the table, but she was still upstairs.

After setting the table, Grams called out.

"Piper! Are you going to join us for dinner?"

"Yes, I am, Grams." Piper's voice came from nearby. Grams jumped, then turned around. Piper had snuck up behind her when she was shouting.

"Oh, good, Piper. I see you got all of that mud off of you. How did that happen, anyway?

"Oh, it's a long story. Anyway, there's a dance next Friday, and I was wondering if I could go?

At this, her two sisters and grandmother stared at her. Piper never liked going to school dances. She always just stayed home watching a movie with Phoebe and eating bonbons. After a moment, Grams spoke up.

"Sure, honey. I am so happy you want to go to a school dance, for once." Grams meant what she said. She knew her middle granddaughter felt like she was some sort of social outcast, so her wanting to go to a school event was very different.

"Piper, I thought you hated school events." Phoebe said.

'Great way to think before you speak, Phoebe," Pure thought. "It's always up to her to ruin a good thing.'

"Yes, well, I um... changed my mind. Uh, Alex and Kiara are going, so I decided to join them." Piper surprised herself at how quickly she had come up with that lie. She noticed Pure looking at her, and knew that she would have some explaining to do once Grams thought that they were in bed. Both Piper and Pure knew that Alex and Kiara would never do such a thing. They didn't go to school functions as 'a protest against all the preps and jocks at our school who are too full of themselves to notice anything that is happening around them'.

"Well, let's tart dinner, then," said Piper, wanting to change the subject.

"Okay, darlings, eat up." Grams said, knowing that something was up with her granddaughter. The only reason she didn't question Piper further was because she knew that if it was important, Piper would let her know. Grams could always count on her responsible granddaughter to do that.

T:T:T

Piper was up reading a book when the door to her bedroom creaked open. She quickly shoved the book and flashlight under the covers, knowing that Grams would disapprove of her reading this late. But as soon as Piper saw who it was behind the door, she breathed a sigh of relief. Pure and Phoebe were sneaking into her room, Pure remembering to close the door behind her. Piper and phoebe used to share a room, but then they convinced Grams to move into their mom's old room. It hadn't been put to any use, and the spare room had made it so Piper and Phoebe had their own rooms.

"Hey, guys. I was beginning to wonder if you'd even come at all." Piper spoke up once the other two had gotten settled on her bed.

"Are you kidding? You know how curious Phoebe is when it comes to her older sisters' relationships." Pure nudged Phoebe painfully in the ribs.

"Geez, Prue, that hurt! Anyway, wasn't it you that came into my room and offered to include me in the conversation?" Phoebe didn't want the blame to be put on her.

"Okay, guys, stop it! Anyway, if you want to know what happened at Leo's, then you have to tell me what happened here first." Piper didn't really want to share her first kiss with her sisters. She wanted to keep it to herself, but she had learned from experience that it was hard to keep a secret in the Halliwell household. Since she knew they would know eventually, she still wanted to have some leverage. So, why not use it to get some info on her sister's dates?

"Okay, fine, I'll tell you about my day first. Andy and I just sat on the back porch talking." Pure said, just giving her sisters the overview.

"All you did was talk?" Phoebe was disbelieving. She had kissed her boyfriend in the first five minutes.

"No, we kissed too, if that's what you're asking." Pure said, in an as-if-I-wouldn't-kiss-him tone.

"So, what about your date, Phoebe?" Piper asked.

"Well, all we did was watch Kill It Before It Dies. Twice, of course. Oh, and we did do some kissing." Phoebe added as an afterthought.

"So, Piper, how did your studying with Leo go? And how did you end up so muddy?

"Well, it's a long story, but I'll give the abbreviated version. Paige and Glenn went to the park, and Leo and I headed inside. We got a snack from the new Mrs. Trudeau, who, by the way, is really nice. I went head into the living room to set up, and he came in about a minute later, blushing. We started with math. I have to admit, we didn't even review one problem."

"Oh, yay!" Piper was interrupted by an excited exclamation from Phoebe.

"Shut up!" Pure whispered under her breath, and then beckoned Piper to continue.

"Anyway, we looked into each other's eyes. His eyes are so beautiful. The deep blueness is just so mesmerizing it..."

"Okay, Piper, that's enough. Back to the story." Phoebe interrupted, not caring to hear more about Leo's eyes.

"Oh, sorry, Phoebes. Okay, we looked into each other's eyes, and I kissed him.

"You what?" This time, it was Pure who had interrupted her. She could not believe that Piper had kissed Leo first, not the other way around.

"I kissed him. Well, we were interrupted by a giggle. It came from Paige. She and Glenn were spying on us. So, we chased them outside. Paige fell into this huge pool of mud, and so I went to help her out. I screamed when I was pulled in, and the boys noticed and laughed. They probably didn't notice that Paige had pulled me in, so they fell for it when we lured them over with cries of help. So, when we were all in the mud, Leo tackled me, but I won. Paige and Glenn were, of course, cheering me on. We then kissed a lot, and then played games outside all together until both Paige and I had to leave."

Piper finished, out of breath. She had purposefully left out the fact that she had found out that Paige was adopted. She didn't know how Paige would feel if Piper told her sisters, nor did she know if Paige knew she knew. She just didn't want to take the risk of hurting Paige's feelings.

"Wow." That was all phoebe could say. She had never known her older sister to be so outgoing.

"Wait a minute. If that is all, why did you want to go to the dance?" Pure asked, after processing what her sister had just told her.

"Oh, before I left, Leo asked me to go to the dance with him."

"Oh my God, he did?" Pure asked. "Well, since this is the first school function you'll be attending; we will just have to go shopping this weekend for an outfit, won't we?"

"Damn, I guess we might just have to do that," said Piper. She said it sarcastically, but she was actually surprised that her sister had offered. Pure rarely invited her to do anything. "All I can say is that I'm glad we didn't have a paper due or anything.

Pure gasped.

"Oh my God. A paper!" Her sisters stared at her. "I have a punishment paper due tomorrow!" Her two sisters' mouths dropped open.

"It took you that long to realize it?" Phoebe asked, not believing her older sister would forget about something like that.

"What's it on?" Piper asked.

"Pythagoras and his coven." Pure replied in disgust. She hated it when her class had studied that, so she hadn't paid attention.

"Oh, that," Piper said, "we just had a test on that. I got an A. It's boring, isn't it?" She agreed with her sister's opinion on the subject.

"You did? Can you help me? If you don't, I won't get any sleep! Pretty, pretty please?" Pure had gotten down on her knees and began bowing down to her sister.

"Okay, Pure. I'll do it. I mean, you are taking me shopping this weekend, and you will let me borrow your make-up for the dance, so why not?" Piper asked, sneaking her demands in casually.

"Okay, deal. Thank you so much!" Pure began hugging her sister and bouncing up and down.

"Well, I guess I'll be heading to bed. I don't particularly care about learning about the Pythie-guy." Phoebe was getting tired.

For the next two hours, Piper and Pure worked on Prue's paper. When they were done, Pure looked over it and said, "Not my best work, but it'll do. At least I have all my facts straight thanks to my wonderful, favorite sister!" Pure began hugging Piper again.

"Well, your wonderful, favorite sister would like to breathe, and then she would like to go to bed. I mean, it is one in the morning.

"Oh, sorry! 'Night!"

As Piper went to sleep, she kept replaying the day's events in her head. The last thing she though about was how wonderful it was to kiss Leo, even when they were both covered in mud, and had little kids watching in the background.
