N/A: There's a sentence from Gilmore Girls on the end, but I just couldn't help it, so, just so you know, that's not mine….

The high school cafeteria had some tables that were always used by the same students. For instance, the science club always sat in the corner away from the popular kids, the Goths sat at a table in which they'd carved all kinds of signs and not so long ago had been painted black and the cheerleaders and football players sat in the middle of the room, with some tables of admirers around them. But everyone was in conversation at their own table, or eating. Prue and Jen were both sitting in the middle of the table with Andy and Jeff, Jen's boyfriend, across them.
"For the last time, I have to go to my dad's." The entire group of friends had tried to convince Prue to come to the party, but she wouldn't give in. It wasn't just that they wanted Prue to party, but she had a great voice and sometimes sang with a rock band some of the friends were in and they were playing at Dean's. "So who's gonna sing?" Dean asked her, worried that the band would be without a singer. "Maybe next time before you throw a party where I have to sing, ask if I'm available." "I can't really choose when my parents are going to be outta town." He turned to Jen. "Can't you sing?" Some people started laughing including Jen. "Believe me, you don't wanna know." Prue chuckled.
"Mary can sing." The boy looked at her, questioning. "Who's Mary?" Prue pointed at a table where some younger students were sitting. "The blonde one." Dean frowned. "Since when are 15-year-old geeks your friends?" "Look, do you want a singer or not?" Tom, the team's quarterback and the band's guitar player joined their conversation. "We really can't perform without a singer Dean." Dean sighed. "You're really sure she won't screw up?" Prue rolled her eyes. "Look, she's my sister's best friend and she's performed before." Dean looked at Tom, who was the only one of the band at their table. "What do you think?" "If Prue says she can sing, that's enough for me." "I'll go ask her then." Prue said as she stood up and walked to the table, to great surprise of many other students.
Piper and Mary didn't have a table that was reserved for them, they just sat down where they found a place. One of their good friends Will had joined them. Will was, what you would call, fat. But he didn't care; he even made jokes about it himself. When somebody made fun of him, he took revenge in his own particular way, and his victims never suspected a thing. He was not exactly a bright student but always managed to pass his exams on the edge. And he had two of the coolest friends you could wish for. "Piper, tomorrow I want a full report on Victor's new beauty, with gory details and all. And a precise description of how Phoebe and Prue managed to get her away as well." Piper stuffed a muffin in the boy's mouth. "Eat and be quiet! We'll probably end up fighting with dad again, not my plan." The friends laughed although Piper was serious, when they had chased away another girlfriend, Victor most of the time wasn't pleased about it and they went away angry and they wouldn't see him for another week to make up. She was getting quite tired of it.
Will was the first to notice Prue coming at them. That was of itself quite unique, since Prue mostly preferred to stay away from her unpopular sister and her friends. He swallowed his piece of muffin and pointed it out to the girls. "Why is she coming to us?" He asked, wondering if there was something he didn't know about. But nor Piper, nor Mary had an idea. "Let's wait and see. Oh, here she comes, act like you haven't seen her." Piper said, as she took a bite of her sandwich. Prue indeed stopped at their table. "Uhm hi guys." She as well, was rather awkward with the whole situation. "Gee Prue, why do have the honours?" Piper asked her sister with a grin on her face. "Actually, it's not about you." Prue answered as Piper looked at her surprised. "I need a favour of Mary." The trio looked at the head cheerleader with large eyes. Will was glad he wasn't involved. "What do you need?" Mary asked. She knew Prue rather well, so there was no point acting like she was impressed by her or something.
Prue took a deep breath, this was really quite important. "I need you to replace me tonight in the band at Dean's party." Mary, Piper and Will's jaws dropped. "Dean Johnson's party?" Piper asked, still quite in shock that her sister was asking her best friend to go to a senior party. "Yeah." "And they're okay with that?" Will asked as he pointed at Prue's friends. "I've convinced them." Mary was still quiet. "I euh, don't know if my parents will allow me." They all knew that wasn't true, her parents where still acting like hippies all the time and Mary could do what she wanted. "Okay, they will." Mary admitted after seeing her friends' sarcastic looks. "Come with us after school and I'll get you ready and stuff." "Okay." Mary stuttered as Prue returned to her table.
"You have to make a report as well." Will said after they'd recovered from the shock. "It's not every day one of us goes to a party at Dean Johnson's." Piper nodded. "Don't get too popular, I need you as a friend." She joked. "If she goes popular, you go too, it's not like you still look like a geek, I'll just remain alone." Will said with his mouth full of chocolate. "How am I going to act tonight? I'm so gonna embarrass myself!" Mary's face had gone pale. "You guys, how am I gonna survive." Piper chuckled. "You'll be fine, Prue will take care of everything." If she had any idea, Prue was going to give Mary strict instructions what to do al night, so Prue wouldn't look bad afterwards. "She loves her popularity to much to let you go as you please, believe me." They laughed as they looked at the 'popular' table.
"She'll do it." Prue told her friends as she sat down. "Good, so we have a singer." Tom answered. "You are going to give her a make over, right?" Jen asked her best friend as she took note of Mary's appearance again. "Duh! I'm not gonna let her ruin my image." Several of them laughed, they were already looking forward to tonight. "It's a shame you can't come." Andy said. "Now who am I gonna make out with?" "Hold your male hormones to yourself tonight, it's not impossible!" Prue said as she bent over and kissed him. "Lady Halliwell, I will die tonight for you." Andy said while acting like he put a sword on his hart. "I bid you, farewell." And he let himself fall on the floor, which caused the entire table to die of laughter. "Oh knight Trudeau, I will join you in heaven as well." Prue said and dropped herself too. "Ladies and gentlemen, the drama king and queen of San Fransisco High!" Jen announced as the two actors bowed and sat down again.
