AN: Sorry about the miss update thing. I just realized that I left something big out after I uploaded the chapter, so I deleted it and had to load it again! Sorry!
syad ynair - Nice rambling. LOL! Thanks!
Gryffindor620 - That was really, really funny. I don't know why, it just was. Things are a lot funnier when I'm tired. Anyway, don't you think you should have typed 'Jinkes'? LOL! Wow, I'm really weird. But, that's not the point. And yes, I do know who Mystery Inc. is. I mean, who doesn't? Anyway, thankses!
C.C. McKenna - I was at school. Grr it. Grr... Yes, that was scary. Also, just to let everyone know, I basically get half the stuff I write from my dreams. My subconscious just seems to want to give me ideas for the story, so I get them in my dreams. And I got that scene from one of my dreams. Imagine dreaming about that! Yeah, it's not fun. Wow, I'm weird, and I'm being repetitive, redundant, and saying the same thing over and over again. I'll stop now. Thanks for the review!
piperleo4eva - Oh, God, I'm laughing at all the reviews. I bet I'll reread them next week and be like 'Why the hell did I think these were so hilarious?' Man, I'm high. Not the drug high, no, that's bad for you. It's just a state I get in when I'm tired. Man, I'm way too weird. Anyway, thanks for the review!
winter blaze - Thanks!
Shann51 - Thanks, and I do try my best!
charmedeva - Witchy... um, no, not this one. I'm already writing a sequel (it's a disease) and I might introduce it then. But, I don't know. Thanks for the review!
OTHCharmedFreak - I am trying, and see, I'm doing! I'm updating before the weekend! Yay! Thanks!
lillynilly - Yeah, a lot of my music could be found in The Buzz. There's a lot of ninety's stuff, and I actually did get some of the songs that I named the chapters after from that site. It's a cool site! Thanks!
Now the perfect chapter 16...

"Phoebe, can you pass the Phillips?"
It was Sunday, only six days after the eight found the mess in the girls' bathroom. They spent about an hour talking to the police after they had arrived, telling the officers every little detail from the beginning of their days to when they called the police. The officers interviewing them had written everything in little notebooks. Also, a few days later, they had found out the identities of the victims. Yes, identities and victims. There were apparently three bodies in that mess.
The youngest was another sophmore, Erica Vensuelez. She was captain of the chess team and star of the computer club. When this was found out, the entire computer club, which included assistant captain and boyfriend of two months Quentin, began a cyber mourning. All the computer backgrounds had become black overnight. Then, there was a victim that was a junior. Her name was Neptune Smith. She was on of the junior class Goths, and had been on probation. All the other 'rejects' of the school, plus her punk senior boyfriend, Nicolas, mourned her by wearing white, which is what the Chinese wore. Why the Chinese? No one outside that group really knew. But, that group normally wore black, so it was a change.
The third victim was a senior, Maria Campbell. Yes, THE Maria Campbell, Missy Campbell's older sister. In reality, not too many people mourned her absence. She was well-known as a bitch. The only people who mourned her were the other preps in every grade level, especially Missy. And, word got out about Prue and Maria's argument. That made Missy unreasonably blame Prue for her sister's death, which made life a lot worse for Piper. The second Halliwell had learned during the week to avoid Missy at all costs, which wasn't that easy of a task. Missy seemed to want to find Piper. Luckily, she had her trusty boyfriend as a shield, as Missy still believed that she could steal Leo from Piper. So, she wouldn't dare taunt anyone in front of Leo, which made a lot of other people hang around him as well.
But, this Saturday afternoon, the eight-some was at the mystery house again. During the week, they had found that it was on sale for only fifty dollars. So, they decided to buy it. They had barely any paperwork to fill out, as the owner just wanted to get rid of the old house. The old victorian mansion was rumored to be haunted. The previous residents, who had lived there in the '40s, had all been brutally murdered. The residents had been twelve early twenties to late thirties women. They were all very good friends, so they decided to live together. The twelve had always been though a little weird by the local people, so it wasn't too big of a surprise when they all went missing. Their bodies were found about a week after they had officially died by some daring teenagers. But, the eight decided to buy the house despite it's mysterious background and need of repair.
That was actually exactly what the eight were doing. They were working on repairing the place. They had decided to do one room at a time, and not move on until the room was in tiptop shape. They were now working on the grand entrance. Most of them were working on scrubbing and dusting the large room, but Andy, Leo, and Phoebe were repairing the old items that needed fixing and working on the electricity. Andy and Leo were both handy men, and Phoebe was good with a wrench. Although they knew that all the repairs would be expensive, they were going to work slowly. Also, it helped a lot that they were doing all the repairs and cleaning themselves. It would cost thousands more if they weren't. The boys also knew where to get all the discount items, so that was a major plus.
Although doing these things might seem boring to most, these eight were having fun. They were basically keeping their hands busy while they were talking. And the topic they were discussing was what was on all the minds of teenagers in their area, the Baker High Murders. Yes, they had been given a name by the local media, a very unoriginal name, but a name nonetheless. There had been four girls brutally murdered at the school so far, and it was almost definite that it was the work of a serial killer. All the girls at the school were on the edge, and all the teachers had almost given up teaching. It was a very tense time at the school.
"Sure thing, Leo." Phoebe said, giving him the correct screwdriver. "Thanks." Leo said, and continued working on the table that he was repairing. "I'm almost beginning to think that fixing stuff would be easier than cleaning." Paige said disgustedly, looking at her hands. She had been cleaning one of the already fixed tables with a sponge and cleaning stuff. This caused heads to turn. "Why?" Andy asked. He was working on the banister on the stairs. "Look at my hands." Paige said, holding up her red, pruning hands. "They look gross!" "Well, mine don't." Piper said, holding up her yellow rubber covered hands. "That doesn't count though. You're wearing gloves." Prue said, looking at her own hands like they had just turned teal. "How did you know to think of that?" Billy asked. "Well, cleaning like this is a lot like doing the dishes, you know?" Piper stated simply. "No, wait... you WOULDN'T know, would you? Because you don't DO the dishes." she added smartly, directing this comment at her sisters. "Haha, very funny." Paige said, and went back to scrubbing.
"Anyway, what do you guys think of the murders?" Phoebe asked nonchalantly. "How can you be so calm about that?" Piper asked. She had been a bit more panicky then normal since discovering the scene in the bathroom. "It's just how I am." Phoebe replied. The others just rolled their eyes. "Anyway, it's creepy, ain't it?" Phoebe asked. "No duh." Prue said. "You so would not be reacting this way if it was happening at your school." Piper pointed out. "You're right, I wouldn't. But, it's not, so I am." Phoebe retorted cockily. Piper rolled her eyes.
T:T:T
"Mel, don't you love this morning? It's so... refreshing."
It was the next day, a Monday. A dreary, rainy Monday morning. That kind of morning was a Halliwell's favorite morning. Sarcasm. The girls had each downed two cups of their secret coffee before getting to their schools. Mel grunted. "Phoebe, not mood." she said incoherently. She then closed her eyes and put her head down on her desk. "Oh, little Mel not in the mood for PEPPINESS?" Phoebe asked, squealing and shouting the last part. "Gah!" Mel shouted, holding her hands on her ears. "Pheebs! Just 'cause you have coffee, don't mean I do!" she shouted. Mel never really like Monday mornings. "Fine, Melbo." Phoebe said, smiling. She was in an extremely good mood that day.
T:T:T
"Paige, you feeling okay?" Glenn asked. "I'm fine." Paige said, way too quickly. Glenn looked at her skeptically. He knew when his friend was lying. It wasn't that he was very perceptive, Paige just really sucked at lying. "Okay, what's wrong?" he asked. Paige, realizing that she wasn't going to get out of this one, decided to answer. "It's just... I don't know. I just have this really bad feeling. It's like... something bad is gonna happen." Paige said. "Paige, bad things always happen. That's the way the world works." Glenn said. "No, that's not what I mean! It's like... something REALLY bad is gonna happen. Like, involving us." Paige said, seeming to zone out a bit. "But," she added, waving her hand, "It's probably nothing. It's just a feeling, not a fact."
T:T:T
Phoebe was walking the middle school hallway. She just HAD to get out of her math class. Math was just so... BORING. She wasn't walking around the school without permission, no. She didn't dare do that after the time she got grounded for a month for doing so. No, she wanted to have fun. She was on a bathroom pass. Of course, she was going to the bathroom farthest away from her math class. She wanted to be out of there for as long as possible, without breaking the school rules. She felt very free as she neared the bathroom that was on the complete other side of the school. She was in a very peppy mood when she entered the bathroom, as she had been all day. She couldn't explain it, but she just felt very good that day.
The mood quickly deteriorated when she saw what was in the bathroom. It was a body. Fortunately, it wasn't strewn all over the bathroom, but it was a body nonetheless. Phoebe immediately dropped the bathroom pass and ran over to the body. She absent-mindedly kneeled in some of the blood, and put her hand on the girl's neck to check her pulse. There was none. "Oh my God." Phoebe whispered.
Suddenly, she felt strong arms wrap around her middle, and a hand go over her mouth.

AN: I'm evil, aren't I? Oh, well. Guess what? I got a chapter out, and it's not the weekend! Go me! Don't worry, I will update at the latest this weekend, so you won't have to wait too long to find out what happened. Review, please! Oh, this is after a song by Blue Suede!
