Thanks for your reviews, you'll have to wait for the Mary plot 'till tomorrow probably (hopefully). Here's what happens with Phoebe and Paige. Keep up the reviewing, and I'll try to update as soon as possible. Something else, do you guys want a demonish plot? I'm not really feeling like it, but if there's a lot of demand, I won't have problems with that. Thanks… Now you can read!

Phoebe would probably be interested in the whole scene with Mary and Prue, but she had other things to worry about. Getting out of school without a permission was still quite risky, teachers could always ask it and if they didn't have it, they'd get in trouble. "Are there teachers in sight?" Phoebe asked as she glanced at the gate. "I don't see any." Julie answered. "Good, let's go." The girls walked outside like it was perfectly normal, with some other students who actually were just going out for lunch. As they turned the corner they sighed. "Okay, off to the mall then." Phoebe said as the two girls got on the bus. "Hi mister Broth" They said to the old bus driver who knew the girls quite well, and who found their cutting class rather funny. "Was school boring again?" The man asked as they sat down. "Isn't it always?" Phoebe asked. "I don't remember honestly." It was a short drive to the huge mall and they were at their halt in now time. "Bye girls." The old man said before they got out.

They were not the only teenagers at the mall, some of them were also there illigally, but others just were free in the afternoon for one or other reason. As it was time for lunch, they went to their favourite fast food restaurant and waited for a girl coming at them. The waitress looked at them with a frown. "I know you." She said looking at Phoebe. "You're Prue Halliwell's little sister aren't you?" Phoebe nodded. The girl was hardly older than Prue, maybe a year or two. Then Phoebe remembered her, she'd been a senior last year, and, more important, a cheerleader. You wouldn't say it when you saw her in her outfit now. "I know you too, you're Mel." Julie remembered too now, she had been very popular. "What happened to you?" She asked in all her bluntness. "What will it be?" The girl asked, ignoring the question, obviously hurt. "She's sorry." Phoebe excused her friend. "Yeah, I'm sometimes blunt." This seemed to calm Mel down, but she wouldn't answer her question. "What are you guys going to have?"

"A lot of house arrest." Phoebe closed her eyes. This was not good. She hardly dared to turn her head, and eventually she didn't need to. Her mother was leaning on the table with both her arms looking quite, pissed let us say. "Mom, hi." Phoebe said, trying to be cheerfull. Patty smiled sarcastically at her daughter. "When you get home, tomorrow, you're grounded for a month. Victor can decide the rest of your punishment." Phoebe sighed, why did it have to be her to get caught? "And you Julie." She said as she turned to the girl. "I'll cal your mother right after I've called the school. She'll find a proper punishment won't she." The girl bowed her head. "They'll come with me." Patty said to Mel, the girl nodded and disappeared. "We are going to pay a little visit to your principal's office." The girls followed Patricia Halliwell with bowed heads out of the mall.

Paige was fortunatly smarter than her sister and she did her things, without getting caught. Her underpants idea had worked out extremely well. The whole class had wondered how Ben's underpants had gotten out of his trousers onto his painting. The teacher had tried to calm the class down, but she had hardly succeeded. When at last the class had gone back to their decors, the bell had rung and they'd gone to lunch all excited telling the other children what had happened in the classroom. Everybody seemed to enjoy the story and Paige was proud of herself, mostly because she could do these things without anyone ever knowing. Mom and Grams would kill her if they'd ever found out.

Lizzie was eager to see what Paige had in her lunchbook. Grams made most of her lunches and they were way better than Lizzie's mom's quick sandwiches, which consisted of bread from the freezer and cheese that smelled like, well, we won't talk about that. When Paige had told Grams this, she'd always gotten some extra stuff for her friend. "What have you got today, Paige?" "Quiche." The girl answered as she gave her friend a part. "Yummy." Lizzie said as she took a bite. "Always." Paige answered and laughed as she saw the jeaulous look of some of their friends.

"So, how do you think Ben did it?" Paige shrugged her shoulders. "I think he did it himself, in a desperate attempt to attention." She answered, while chuckling inside. "Yeah, but why would he want everyone to laugh at him." "Like I know, he's a boy." This seemed quite a reasonable answer for Elisabeth. "I'm going to daddy tonight." Paige told her friend. She was excited, he had promised they were going to a restaurant. "No sisters tonight?" Lizzie asked her friends, although she was certain of the answer. "All free. He's going to take me out." "Ooh! I wish my dad was as cool as yours." "At least you see him every day." These words were said a bit sad, as Paige had never known her parents together, because it was totally against the "rules". Of course her friend didn't know why her parents weren't together, but she knew Paige suffered.
