Thank you so much for all of the reviews!!!! I'm sorry to leave you on a cliff-hanger, (smiles evilly), it had to be done. So as my way of saying thank you and sorry, here is the next chapter.

Enjoy!

CHAPTER THREE

Paige stood there, frozen in shock.

Prue, but she's dead? Paige couldn't think straight, and judging by Piper and Phoebe's frozen form, neither could they.

Minutes passed like this staring. Eventually Prue stepped towards them, making Paige take an involuntary step backwards. She somehow did not trust her older sister. After all, they had never met before, and all of sudden here she was, standing in the middle of their hall, like it was perfectly normal.

Paige felt a stab of annoyance as Prue walked straight passed her and stood in front of Piper and Phoebe. Knowing she should feel happy for them, she ignored the stab of emotion, and smiled as Prue embraced her younger sisters.

Uncharacteristically, Phoebe started to cry. If Paige had thought of this situation, she would have imagined that Piper would be the one to start crying. Piper, however, was to busy hugging her sister to care.

"We thought we lost you." Phoebe whispered, before dissolving once again into tears. It kept all of Paige's self control to prevent herself from rolling her eyes.

Why am I being so cruel, they thought they lost someone they grew up with, give them a beak!!! She thought to herself, although she knew she was only acting like this because once again she felt like the fifth wheel, the unwanted one, now that Prue was back.

Stop it Paige, she told herself sternly, now she is back, do you really think they are just going to say, thanks Paige, nice knowing ya?!?

She snapped back to the present as soon as Victor walked in the door, with Piper's sons under each arm. Paige immediately stepped forward and took them from him, thinking that he would accidentally drop them in shock as soon as he saw his 'dead' daughter.

Victor looked up to smile at her, which she returned, grateful for some attention. He looked at me, and then he saw Prue standing next to me.

If they had said anything, Paige couldn't hear it under their embrace and their tears. Wyatt shifted in her arms, so she kissed him on the cheek, like she usually did, which resulted in his usual giggle.

Prue looked up as she heard the giggle. She walked over to Paige. She felt like she was being introduced to the queen or something. Her wait was over; she was going to meet her older sister that Phoebe and Piper admired so much. The classic mix of brains and beauty.

Or so she thought. The raven haired woman walked straight up to her and totally ignored her. Prue took Wyatt and Chris into her arms and talked to them. "I've been watching you for so long, Piper they are so beautiful." She said as tears came into her eyes. Paige stood expectantly, glancing at the older woman, expecting some acknowledgement.

Except none came. Paige felt anger course through her. Anger at being neglected and ignored, again. She turned on her heel and stormed out of the house.

Luckily, her senses returned to her as she reached the bottom step. She sat down, her dress spilling behind her. She started to play with her long dark ponytail as she heard someone come down the steps to her.

She quickly hid the tears rolling down her cheeks and stared up at the intruder to her thoughts. She was met by the concerned face of Piper.

The older woman sat down next to her, pulling an arm around her younger sister's bare shoulders. Paige looked at her expectantly, not trying to hide her tears anymore.

Piper started to speak in a motherly tone that she reserved for Paige when she felt upset. Although Paige had always felt closer to Phoebe, Piper and she had an understanding deeper than hers and Phoebe's headstrong attitude.

"Paige, I know that it is hard for you to be left out like this, it's just that we thought we had lost her, and now she's back, it's like, well, a dream come true. She is the most wonderful sister on the earth, or so to speak, she did not mean to ignore you."

Piper spoke in a calm voice as she tried to wipe away her tears. Paige barely felt the intrusion to her skin.

"But how did she come back? I am that unnoticeable that I can't even get a hello?" Paige demanded answers from her older sister, but they both knew that Paige's emotions had finally caught up with her.

Piper did not speak, she just held Paige close. She felt safe in her older sister's embrace, and she cried herself until she found she could cry no more. "Thanks, sis." Paige whispered as she held on to Piper. Her older sister merely kissed her forehead and dragged her to her feet.

"Now come, we have a lot to talk about." She said to her. Feeling slightly happier, Paige followed.

Piper mentioned something about cooking a reunion dinner, as Prue had said she would explain everything after she had some food. Paige was not that bothered by this, because it gave her time to have a deep telexing bath, to calm her frail nerves.

She eventually got out and went in search for some clothes in her wardrobe. Well, I'm not going to bother wearing something posh if Prue didn't even notice me in that dress of Phoebe's. She eventually picked some hip hugging black trousers and a corset like blue top that had a very elegant feel, even if it prevented her from breathing properly.

I am not nervous, she realised as she applied her make up and combed her hair, deciding to leave it down. She sat there for a while, contemplating the hour or so ahead of her, looking forward to hearing Prue's story.

She opened her bedroom door and found herself face to face with her 'deceased' sister. She couldn't think of what to say, she just stood there staring at her. "Hi, I'm Paige" she said eventually, feeling like a complete idiot. The older woman smiled and walked past her into her room.

Well, that was rude, she thought annoyed. She crossed her arms as the older woman looked through her drawers. "And what are you doing, looking through my stuff?" She demanded, not caring about being rude.

Prue stood up and said slowly and clearly, as if speaking to a child, "Yeah, this is my room, or at least it was until you took over it. By the way, who are you really; all Phoebe said was to ask you?"

Paige ignored her sister's tone and decided to talk in a patronizing tone like her, "Well, your mum fooled around with her white lighter, got pregnant, had me and dumped me at a local church." She said it all rather quickly, and had to draw for breath at the end.

Prue walked over to her and slapped her across the face, saying: "How dare you talk about my mother like that!"

Now Paige was royally pissed off. She started to hit her older sister, saying things like, "Well, I never compared to you, I am always the fifth wheel, at least now you are paying attention to me!"

The door to Paige's room flung open for a second time, the girl looked up through each others arms and various limbs to see Phoebe and Piper standing there with their mouths hanging open.

"Sisters, what are you doing?" Phoebe said, unable to keep the amusement out of her voice of using that term. Paige stood back from the older woman and brushed her hair out of her face, giving her a look of dislike that Prue returned with as much intensity as her.

Their sisters dragged them down the oak stairs and into the dining room where a lovely meal was prepared and ready. Victor sat at the head of table. Piper sat next to Leo, Phoebe opposite them sitting next to Wyatt and Prue, which left Paige to sit next to Leo.

Paige ate her meal in silence, all the time throwing evils at Prue who was sitting opposite her. Prue glared at her as often as she could but Prue was laughing about hearing all of the events that had happened.

Paige was only half listening to Phoebe talking and kept her eyes down at her plate. She didn't feel that hungry, but she ate it, knowing it would hurt Piper's feelings if she did not.

Victor seemed to be the only one really enjoying the meal, he laughed and joked and tried to get Paige to join the conversation as much as possible.

As soon as the plates were cleared, and they were all sipping coffee, Phoebe asked the question that had been burning on everyone's mind. "So Prue, tell us everything, we must know!" Paige looked up at this point, abandoning her thought of how to throw her coffee over Prue and make it look like an accident.

Prue looked up, throwing Paige a dirty look as she did so, which caused anger to burn inside of her. Considering how much I wanted to meet her, I would rather she stayed dead, Paige was ashamed at the thought, but she hadn't realised her sister was such a cow.

"I'll tell you, as long as little miss perfect here goes away." Prue said, causing Paige to stand up, fuming. Piper cut in before Paige could utter the word that sounded surprisingly like the word 'witch' for the whole family to hear.

"She stays, Prue, she is your sister." Prue nodded at Piper's warning comment, but still gave Paige a mistrustful look. "Don't worry; I'll try not to laugh at your tale." Paige said sarcastically. She gave Victor an apologetic look, as if to say sorry for her actions.

Following Prue into the solarium, she smirked at would no doubt be the stupidest story she had ever heard.....

Well there it is, I was going to tell Prue's long tale, but I decided against it, feeling that I would finish on a bit of warped humour. Thank you for reading, please review, more coming soon, expect a talky beginning to the next chapter.....
