A/N: Oooh, okay I forgot a character. Marshall from Alias will definity be in this. I can't believe I forgot Marshall. How stupid am I? And I may put Dixon(he's from Alias too) in this, I just haven't decided. I'm still working on putting Chris in this. It's very hard.
"Thank God, Syd, there you are."
Sydney smiled when her best friend Francie pretended to be worried "That's Francie." She whispered to Piper.
Piper nodded, "She seems nice."
"She is," Sydney admitted, "But she gossips none-stop."
"I do not," Francie protested as Sydney and Piper sat at the table. "And you are?" She asked Piper forwardly.
"Piper, she's new," Sydney said before Piper opened her mouth.
"Great to meet you Piper," Francie greeted her with a smiled. "Can I ask you something?"
"Not this again," Sydney complained. "I told you, I broke up with him and it wasn't because of Vaughn."
"He so broke up with you," Francie countered, then turned to Piper, "Would you break up with your boyfriend of six months because of a really cute French guy?"
"Well, if he's French, how could I not?" Piper answered.
"Ha!" Francie yelled at Sydney.
"Ha, what?" A blonde guy asked, sitting down at the table with the three girls.
"Ha, I was right." Francie didn't offer very much of an explanation.
Sydney shook her head, silently telling the guy to drop the subject, "Piper, Will. Will, Piper."
"Hey Piper," Will said, offering his hand. Piper just smiled and shook his hand.
"Mike, are you listening to me?" Eric Weiss asked, noticing his friend's dazed stare over at Sydney's table.
Vaughn snapped out of his daze and looked over at Eric. "Huh?"
"You girlfriend's name is Lauren," Eric said.
Vaughn threw him a nasty look, "Shut up."
"I'm just saying," Eric held up his hands in mock surrender, "You were staring again."
"I was not," Vaughn defended.
"Not that I blame you. Sydney is looking good but her new friend is looking even better," Eric made the move to stand up.
"Down boy," Vaughn ordered. "And I wasn't staring."
"Fine, gazing longingly, whatever." Eric took a large gulp of his soda. "Hockey, Friday, yay or nay?"
"Hold that thought," Vaughn answered, standing up and walking over to Sydney's table. "Hey Sydney."
Sydney looked up and smiled, "Hey Vaughn. Sit, join us."
Vaughn shook his head, "Can't. You know how Lauren is." Sydney nodded slightly. She and Vaughn's girlfriend had never gotten along which was evident by what had happened earlier that morning, "I just wanted to know your new friend's name."
Piper smiled, "It's Piper."
"Piper," Vaughn echoed and she nodded to confirm it. "Okay, nice to meet you." He walked off, leaving a very confused table.
"Hey, Will. Basketball after school?" Another blonde guy asked, sitting at the table before Sydney had the chance to explain to Piper exactly who Vaughn and Lauren were.
Will nodded, "Definitely," He noticed his friend's glance at Piper and added, "Piper this is Leo. Leo this is Piper." Leo smiled at Piper and she felt her heart jump. She looked down, both in an effort to hide her blush and confused.
"Are you sticking around unlike a certain Frenchman?" Francie asked, throwing a glance at Sydney.
"Oh, so this 'Vaughn' is the Frenchman that you broke up with your boyfriend over?" Piper asked.
Sydney glared at Francie, "Yes, and I didn't break up with Danny because of Vaughn."
"Could've had fooled me," Leo said, munching on a stolen chip from Will.
Sydney turned her glare to him for a split second, then back at Francie, "For the record, I never told Danny that I liked Vaughn because I don't like him in that way. It was for other reasons."
"Which were?" Francie pressed.
"None of your business," Sydney snapped. Piper looked on, feeling bad for helping to start the ganging up on Sydney thing. But it was pretty obvious that Sydney had some form of a crush on Vaughn whether she admitted it to herself or not.
"So, changing the subject before Sydney goes all World War III on Francie. Where are you from Piper?" Sydney threw a quick glare at Will at his comment on her temper but chose to say nothing.
"San Francisco," Piper answered, calmly.
"Really?" Will asked, and she nodded to confirm. "Okay, then why are you in L.A.?"
"What are you a reporter?" Piper asked.
Francie laughed, "He might as well be."
"Hey, a reporter is a very respectable job in the world." Will said in his defense.
"Why don't you just answer the question," Leo offered.
"Okay," Piper sighed, "My Grams died last month and my sisters and I had been living with her because my mom died when we were young and our dad kind of ran out on us. And now, ironically, we have to live with him except for Prue, she's in college back east."
Leo and Will exchanged stunned glances, and at the same time said, "That's too bad."
Piper waved it off, "I'm over it, really. I'm fine."
"You have sisters?" Will asked, after a long pause. Francie smacked him in the arm and gave him a cold stare. "Ouh, what was that for?" He asked, rubbing his arm.
Piper smiled, trying not to laugh, "Three and two of them go here."
"Really?" Will asked, suddenly more interested in Piper, earning him another smack in the arm from Francie. "Would you stop hitting me?"
"No," Francie answered, joking.
"So are they pretty?" Will flinched when Francie raised her hand to hit him a third time.
Piper giggled, "Yes very, a whole lot more than me."
"I doubt that," Leo said, listening to the whole conversation. Only Sydney hadn't said anything but she still seemed to fuming over the whole her-not- liking-Vaughn-though-it-was-completely-obvious conversation earlier.
"And why's that?" Piper asked.
"No one can prettier than you," Leo answered calmly.
Piper blushed, and laughed nervously, "That's really nice of you but I'm not that pretty."
"I think you are," Leo insisted, causing her to laugh nervously more and blush an even deeper red. Piper had no idea why any guy much less the very handsome Leo would be flirting with her. She was the loser, the geek that no guy would ever speak to. Maybe her luck was changing with this new school. Just maybe, but she wouldn't get her hopes up.
Response to reviews:
lil-whitelighter11148- I will work on putting Paige and Glen together. They are so cute together and the only reason why I like putting Paige and Richard together is because Glen's married now. It's best if Paige is dating a single man unlike with Nate. That guy sucked.
pyschokitty3- Weirdly that made sense, probably because I have a very weird mind. I'm afraid of what goes on in there sometimes. I don't mind the swearing, Lauren is a bitch and Sark had it coming, that bastard. They're only in this to make it very dramatic otherwise I hate them and want them to DIE and Lauren's already done that. I wonder where I can hire someone to shoot Sark for me. Anyway, before someone sends me to the crazy house for writing that, I thought that having Piper and Sydney as friends would be good. Apparently I was right : )
xjelliepotatoex- Okay, okay, already. You've read this chapter and you have seen all the Leo-ness. There will be lots of Piper/Leo and other couples. But I plan on taking my time with this so you may have to suffer for just a little bit. I introduced all the other guys first because I couldn't think of any characters for them to meet first but their sweeties on the show. Don't worry, lots of Piper/Leo on the way!
