"Okay, so balance your weight, that's it." Vaughn coached a struggling Sydney on how to skate. "There you go, oh watch out." Sydney wobbled somewhat but managed to stay standing. A first for her, just ask her sore bottom.

Sydney grimaced, "I told you I wasn't very good at this." She glanced around and stared in disbelief watching Piper and Leo skate at the other end of the rink without any problems. "Unlike some people."

Vaughn skated over to her, "Well, you know Leo's on my team. I think he would know how to skate."

"Well, Piper isn't" Sydney protested, then added as an afterthought, "or is she?"

"She's not." Vaughn confirmed, "Maybe she learned in San Francisco."

Sydney shrugged, "Maybe." Vaughn eyed her and grinned suddenly. Sydney noticed, "What?"

"You're jealous." He said, with a taunting tone.

"I am not," She protested, a little too loudly.

"Yes, you are." He taunted, skating around her in a circle, "The almighty Sydney Bristow is jealous."

"I am not jealous." Sydney repeated, reaching out to grab his jersey. She grabbed a fistful and pulled him to her. They collided and Sydney ended up being the one to save Vaughn from falling on his buttocks. "I'm not jealous." She repeated, pulling him closer and planting a firm kiss on his lips.

"Alright, alright, you're not jealous in the least." Vaughn said, after she released his mouth.

"That's my good little Donovan."

"Syd!"

Sydney laughed, "Yes, Donovan?" She asked innocently. Vaughn retaliated by wrapping his arms around her shoulders and pulling her into the big bear hug. "God, Vaughn you stink. Let me go."

"Nope," Vaughn answered, hugging her closer, "Not until you swear not to call me Donovan anymore."

"Never." Sydney answered, rebelliously.

Vaughn responded by tightening his grip on her, pushing her nose farther into the stink of the jersey. "Swear it."

"No," Sydney's voice was muffled by his jersey and she was trying not to breath.

"Swear it." Vaughn repeated, nudging her head towards his armpit.

Sydney freaked, "Oh God, no, no, fine, I swear I won't call you Donovan anymore." Vaughn released his death grip on her and she pushed him off, wiping at her face. "That was sick."

Vaughn shrugged innocently, "You deserved it."

"She deserved what?" Leo asked, skating up to the couple, along with Piper. Sydney glared at Vaughn and he just shrugged, "Nothing."

"Why don't you go and clean up?" Piper offered. The guys nodded their agreement and skated off to the locker rooms. "Syd, you okay?"

"Vaughn's gonna pay." Sydney answered, still frantically wiping her face, convinced that some of Vaughn's stench remained.

"Ah, the stinky jersey thing." Piper said, knowingly.

"Leo did it to you?" Sydney asked, in disbelief.

"Once, a couple weeks ago. I think all guys must do it to their girlfriends."

Sydney still seemed pissed, "Maybe but that boy is going to pay."

Piper laughed, "Okay but you're doing it alone."

"I don't mind."

()

"What are you going to do to him?" Piper asked, when she and Sydney reached the bathroom. Sydney had made the excuse that she wanted to touch up her makeup and Piper had to come with.

Sydney smiled devilishly and opened her purse. She dug around in it for a moment, before pulling out a tampon. With the same evil smile on her face, she tossed the tampon in the trash. "That's what."

"You throwing away you're tampon is punishment?"

Sydney shook her head, "Nope. Making him go get me more is."

"You're evil."

"I know. Now come on. I want the suffering to begin as soon as possible." Sydney grabbed Piper's wrist and pulled her along before she could protest. She actually pulled Piper all the way back to the table where the guys sat and stopped in front of it. Piper pulled loose her arm and sat down next to Leo, giving him a quick peck on the neck.

Vaughn looked up, noticing that Sydney hadn't sat down, "Syd, are you okay?"

Sydney put on a fake frown and clutched at her lower stomach, "No."

Worry instantly came over Vaughn, "What's wrong."

Sydney glanced around the diner, not the most romantic place to go but they had all decided that the double date wouldn't be fancy, and diners are not fancy. She looked back at Vaughn, then leaned over and whispered in his ear, "I started my period."

Vaughn's eyes widened, and he whispered back, "D-do you have everything you, um, need?"

Sydney shook her head, "No." Vaughn's eyes just about bugged out of his head. Piper had to bit her lip and bury her head in Leo's shirt to keep from laughing. But Vaughn wouldn't have noticed anyway. "Could you go get me some?"

Terror, pure terror flashed through Vaughn's eyes and even Leo smiled, though he had no idea of Sydney's evil plan. Swallowing hard, Vaughn nodded and stood up. "I'll be right back." He said loud enough for everyone to hear. Leo nodded, slightly and Piper's head nodded in Leo's shirt.

"Do you know exactly what to get?" Sydney asked, back to whispering.

Vaughn nodded, "I live with a sister and a mom, I know what to get."

Sydney smiled, "Could you get me some chocolate too."

He nodded again, "Sure." He left the table.

"Make sure you don't get Snickers. Peanuts and chocolate, just bleh." Sydney called after him. (A/N: The Snickers comment in no way reflects the view of the writer, me. I love Snickers. Well,, I love all kinds of chocolate, actually. I just wanted to say this so I don't get any angry people threatening me because they think that I don't like Snickers. Cause I do like them. Okay, back to story.)

"I will." Vaughn answered, over his shoulder, exiting the diner.

Sydney waited until she was sure he was gone, before dropping the act and plopping down on the seat happily. Piper finally left her laughter out, and Sydney smiled to herself, grabbing a menu.

Leo looked from Piper to Sydney, then back to Piper, and back to Sydney again. "What did you do?"

"Nothing." Sydney answered with feigned innocence, complete with big puppy dog eyes. Piper giggled, giving away Sydney's "innocence."

"Come on, you did something."

Sydney shrugged, "Well, maybe I don't need anything feminine products at the moment." Vague but it got the job done.

Leo, surprisingly, laughed. "You sent Vaughn on a feminine product errand for no reason?"

Sydney nodded, "Yes, I did and it's just gonna get worse before it gets better."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Piper asked.

"Wait and see." Sydney answered, picking up a menu and beginning to study it. Vaughn came in about ten minutes with a small brown paper bag. He set it front of Sydney, waiting for her to grab it and excuse herself to go take care of business. She continued to study to the menu for a moment, then looked up. "Oh, Vaughn, you're back." She picked up the bag and peeked inside, "Ah, Vaughn why did you buy tampons?"

He stared at her, "You told me too."

"I just asked for chocolate." She answered, pulling out a Milky Way bar and opening the wrapper. "Didn't I?" Leo and Piper nodded, but said nothing. They knew they would start laughing if they opened their mouths. Sydney pushed the bag back towards Vaughn who was still standing. "You can keep the tampons, you might need them."

"For what?"

"You know, that certain time tends to come at the worst times." Sydney answered.

He pushed the bag back towards her, "I don't need them."

"Because you have some at home, right?"

Vaughn's jaw dropped. Leo laughed, "Dude, you need feminine products. That's more than I needed to know."

"I don't need them." Vaughn said loudly, "I will never need them."

"Sure you won't, dear." Sydney said, patting him on the arm. "You tell yourself that."

"Syd!" Vaughn yelled, finally realizing that she was messing with him. "You!"

"Me what?"

"You are evil!"

Sydney laughed, "I know." Piper and Leo finally let out their laughter, making Vaughn more pissed than he was before.

"You two knew!" Both nodded. "I hate you all!" Vaughn turned on his heel and stormed out.

Sydney looked guilty and ran after him, "Vaughn, wait!"

Leo turned to a laughing Piper and smiled at her, "You're never gonna to that to me, are you?"

Piper shook her head, "Nah, I'm not really into the revenge thing."

Leo brushed a piece of hair out of her face, "What are you into then?"

"The forgiving and forgetting thing."

"Good. Me too." Leo answered, leaning down to kiss her. "So do you really have to go tomorrow?"

Piper smiled, and nodded, "Yes, I really have to go. Paige and Phoebe have been dying to go and they can't really go up to the manor by themselves."

"So all three of you are going to the manor?"

She nodded again, "Yeah, I told that like a week ago. What's with you, lately?"

"What do you mean?"

"You've been all different lately. You keep asking questions about my Grams and the weird stuff that is happening and about my sisters. It's weird."

Leo paused. He couldn't tell her. He wanted to tell her. Oh, how he wanted to tell her everything and be completely honest with her. But no, she had to find out for herself. "It's nothing. I just like knowing every little thing about you."

"Well, stop or tell me some things about you. Like where your parents are all the time. And why I can't ever go over to your house, we always go to mine."

Leo shook his head, "You don't want to know."

"But I do. I want to know, I really, really do." Piper insisted.

"I don't like to talk about it, okay?"

Piper nodded, slowly, "Okay, okay, I want push it. I just don't like the secrets."

"I know, neither do I. But I can't tell you yet."

Yet? What the hell does he mean by yet? Piper questioned silently. She didn't add anything more, just relaxed in his arms. She loved being in his arms, it was like the safest place she knew but she couldn't shake the feeling he was hiding something.

"Paige, wait!"

Paige stopped walking and waited for Richard to catch up with her. She put on a smiled, though she was peeved that Phoebe had refused to give her a ride home because she and Francie were going to the mall and Piper had the double date hockey thing. So that meant Paige had to walk home, again. "Hey Richard."

"Hey Paige."

"So, what's up?"

Richard started to say something, then decided against it. He opened his mouth again and closed it without a word. Paige eyed him curiously. Finally he said, "Have fun in San Francisco."

"Thanks. I still have to pack." She said with an exaggerated eye roll. "Piper's gonna force me to get up at like five and on the first day off from school so far this year." The girls decided to go visit the manor on a three-day weekend so they would have more time to spend in San Francisco.

Richard chuckled, "That sucks."

She shrugged, "Yeah, well, I'll deal." An awkward silence fell over them for a second, then Paige added, "Well, I really have to go."

He nodded, "Okay. I'll see you on Monday."

She smiled briefly, "Okay. See ya." She turned and continued walking.

Damn that smile, Richard thought, watching her walk away. Why does she have to have a killer smile?

A/N: Bah, I realize that I have been kinda steering this story towards Alias-ness even though it's in the Charmed section and for that I am truly, deeply sorry. I swear this chapter is the last of the Syd/Vaughn-ness for awhile because the next chapter is the long awaited manor chapter or at least the start of it and Vaughn ain't gonna be there even though Sydney will be but you will see why. Again, I'm going back to Charmed in the next chapter. I promise, less Alias and more Charmed cause this was originally a Charmed fic.

syad yniar- I don't mind writing on my arm. I have those pens that if you wash your hands once, it comes off. So good for erasing the notes when I don't need them anymore, sucky for when they disappear when I haven't written them down on something besides my arm. If I can't have Drew or Michael, I would settle for their autograph but I don't think anyone would get me one. I live in Colorado, it's not like the famous people like coming here all the time.

Princess Pinky- It does seem like Phoebe's powers are surfacing doesn't it? Well, can't say for sure if they are but I think you can figure it out from all the hints I've been dropping towards magic. Yeah, I've been planning a Syd/Lauren fight for a long time now and it finally materialized and I was so happy with myself. I like to make people laugh and I'm happy that that chapter made you laugh. hehe.

psychokitty3- First off, hope you liked the double date thing in this chapter and yeah, maybe I'll have another one in the future sometime. ::smacks self in head and shakes head at self:: I know that I've been writing a lot of S/V and all and I'm working on the P/L but for now, it's gonna go back to the sisters and their issues. With some Sydney thrown in there because I love Syd and she's funny. People like to laugh, so yeah, she's coming. I'm sorry if I made you upset with me and all my S/V-ness.

Lost Darkness- My birthday was yesterday, the 23rd. Whoo! I'm fifteen now! Yay me! Happy Birthday to you on the 31st! That's one of my friend's birthday's too. I am eight days older than my friend and she is eight inches taller than me. I am kinda short, like 5'2". But hey, that's like how tall Holly Marie Combs is, so I'm not alone in the world.

p3charmed4eva- I like having them fight. I like having fights in general. Fights make things interesting. Maybe I should have a fight between the sisters. hmmm, inspiration comes at wierd times for me.

x3Tinkerbell07- Yeah, it's kinda no secret that there will be magic in this, I'm just not saying when but it's probably pretty obvious when anyway. hehe.

LeoPiper24/7- I can't answer all that. Actually I can now that I know what I'm going to do. So if you really have to know, email me or you can wait for my next update.

charmedeva- Syd/Vaughn-in love. It's great, I love it. I love them. I love Piper/Leo too. You'll see the love soon. That's a very weird sentence I just wrote. I'm not really sure what it means. I'm very strange.

Charmed-angel4- I'll gather people too and we will march to LA which means we'll take the bus cause there is no way I'm walking that far. I hate Nick but I lazy more.
