Chapter 16...

::::::::::

"Ugh."

That was Phoebe. It was past noon, and she had just come downstairs. "Afternoon, Pheebs!" Piper said, looking up from the book she was reading. "Who made you Ms. Chipper?" Prue asked. She had just come down behind Phoebe. "No one." Piper responded, than continued reading her book. "What are you reading, anyway?" Phoebe asked, noticing Piper's lack of attention.

"Oh, it's just this crime novel. I thought it might give me an idea about how to figure out who Prue's secret admirer is." "What about the police?" Prue asked, sitting next to Piper. "I REALLY don't want to work with them again. Besides, from what I've read so far, they need all the help they can get. They rarely find out who the stalker is unless they expose themselves or really mess up." Piper replied, allowing her sisters to distract her for a moment. "So, does it say anything that could help?" Phoebe asked. "Well," Piper said, putting the book down. "It says the police normally make a flow chart." "A whatie?" Phoebe asked confused, as usual. "A flow chart. It lists all the people that have the potential to be the stalker." Piper replied, annoyed. "Well, that'll take a while." Phoebe said, beginning to get up. "Well, we know that he's at school, so we'll just list all the males at our school." Prue stated. "And, we'll rule out the ones that are obviously not the stalker." she added.

"Well, we better get to work, then." Phoebe said. She would do anything to get her sister out of this mess. "I'll get the directory." Piper said. She then left to retrieve it. When she disappeared, Phoebe asked, "Do you think this will help?" "Well, it probably will. I mean, it's Piper's idea, and you know as well as I do that she's the smartest of the three of us." Prue said, getting out a pen and notepad.

When Piper came down, the school directory looked more like a phone book than what it really was. "Um, shouldn't we get the boys or Paige for help? I mean, we need all the help we can get." Phoebe said, staring at the sheer size of the directory. "No, we can't." Prue said, "The boys are out at the beach this weekend. Grams is with them." "And," Piper added, "Paige's parents are out of town, and they're calling her every hour at the house."

"Okay, let's get to work, then." Prue said, opening the directory to the first page.

;;;;;;;;;

The three sisters spent the rest of the day working on the chart. A few hours into the work, they had moved up to Prue's room. They all knew how angry Grams would be if they made a huge mess in the living room.

At around 8:00 PM, the doorbell rang. "You guys, I'll get it." Piper said, then headed out the door. "Be careful!" Prue called after her. "I wonder if psychos ring doorbells." Phoebe whispered to Prue. "I don't think they do." Prue replied. "Really? Well, I hope you're right." Phoebe said. "Nice way to help me fell better, Pheebs." Prue said sarcastically. "Your wel-" Phoebe was cut off by a blood-curdling scream. "Piper." Prue and Phoebe both said, then ran out the door.

;;;;;;;;;

When they got down there, they heard another yelp coming from the conservatory. When they got in, they saw a sight they really didn't expect to see.

Piper was standing on a chair looking terrified. There were 50-100 tarantulas on the floor, swarming around the chair and beginning to climb it. There were even more coming out of what looked like a huge flower box. "Oh my God." Phoebe whispered, looking at the scene. "Piper, are you okay?" Prue asked. "Yeah, I'm perfectly fine, except there are a bunch of killer spiders around me, and I'm arachnophobic!" Piper said, in a major panic mode.

"Okay, Piper, you just have to get off of there, and we will seal off the room, okay?" Prue said, knowing her sister didn't function well when scared. "Okay, but how am I supposed to? The poisonous spiders are blocking my exit!" Then Piper screamed. A few of the spiders had gotten onto the chair. "Piper, just run really, really fast, okay?" Prue said, looking at her terrified sister. All the spiders were out of the box, now, and swarming over to Piper. Only a few of them had headed over to Prue and Phoebe, and they had easily squashed them. Suddenly, there was another scream. Phoebe had fallen to the floor, screaming, and looking very panicked. The spiders seemed attracted to Phoebe's new found fear, and the mass drifted towards Phoebe and Prue. When her way was cleared enough, Piper ran over, grabbed the box, and ran out the other door.

Phoebe was suddenly not scared anymore, but became frightened again when she saw how close the spiders were. "Now I know how scared Piper was." Phoebe said to Prue, while looking at the spiders. Then, Piper came to the door nearest them. "Guys, there is a door over here, you know." she called, and beckoned her two sisters to the door. "Oh, right!" Prue said, then the two ran over.

Piper closed the door and took her sisters to the table in the dining room. When they saw what was on the table, Phoebe asked, "Why did you bring the box, Piper?" "Well, I think that a more important question is what we're going to do with all the tarantulas." Piper pointed out, shuddering at the thought of the spiders. "Your right, Piper." Prue said. "But, you know, I wish in my head that the spiders were dead, but that's not going to happen. We might have to call the police to get them out." "No. I am NOT dealing with them again." Piper said, already getting irritated.

"Wait, do you hear that?" Phoebe asked. All three quieted. After a moment, Piper said "Hear what?" "Exactly." Phoebe said. Both her sisters stared at her. "Well, shouldn't we be hearing all the tarantulas crawling around?" Phoebe asked. "Yeah, we should." Piper said, after thinking about it. "Well, let's check it out." Prue said. "You two do that, I'll look in the flower box." Piper said, wanting nothing to do with the little crawly things.

Prue and Phoebe headed over to the room where all the spiders were. They looked in, and none of them were moving. "They look dead." Phoebe stated. "Your right. What happened?" Prue asked her younger sister. "I don't know." Phoebe replied, looking at all the dead spiders.

"You guys?" Piper called from the other room. Prue and Phoebe ran into the room, and saw Piper looking quizzically at the box. "What is it?" Prue asked. "There are seven live roses in here, and one dead one."
