A/N: This is a play on a T.V. show called, "Any Day Now". peanutlb: LOL Yes, I was having a "Bush hating moment." Grrr, I loathe him SO much! In fact, I may even bring some more of my "issues" into th series. I'm thinking of a sub plot with Paige,involving a very controversial issue, which may eventually lead into a long term plot involving Phiona. (Damn Bush!) Mmm...okay, deep breaths. lol Nah, Prue is just mad, so she has to find some way to get back at Andy for making her change her mind. She can be such a naughty witch. (Yay! I can't wait for that EC chapter!) chyp: You guessed right! lol money makes me smile: Oh, I'm sorry about that. But it happens to all of us, right? damien455: Awesome! Another anti-Bush person! You guys rock! The-Cheese-Fairy: Ha! My Bush comments sure stirred up some viewers, didn't they? I'm all too happy to meet another anti-Bush person. I'm glad you liked the whole Paige and Pandora scene. Prince Halliwell: No, none of the kids will get any new powers by the end of this fic. I'm not sure about the sequel, yet. charmedsisters: Yep, oh what pre-school aged telepaths can get into these days. C.C. McKenna: Yay, you liked Pandora's camera! Peanut did too. lol Be patient, CC, you just may get your dusty boots and horseback riding. 'Cause, what's a ranch without dusty boots and horseback riding anyway? Nope, I just had to stick that nasty cliffie in there. It was calling my name! shinywhitelights: I'm sorry you feel that way, but I have no regrets. Bush is a very bigoted, prejudiceman and I will not deny my views. As far as I'm concerned, he is no leader. The religious vote put him there, because they think that he'll enforce their beliefs. People who can't differentiate their religious views from laws (and worse, try to enforce their views as laws) are NOT leaders and should NOT be in office! To disrespect someone would mean I would first have to have respect for that person; I have no respect for Bush.

The Children Of Light
Chapter 27: Andy Day Now

"I can't believe we're stopping here." Prue snipped, as Andy pulled up into a gas station in seemingly the middle of 'Nowhere', Nevada.

"Prue, the car needs gas." Andy sighed. We're all ready starting to sound like an old married couple. He thought, warily. Andy thrust his door open and got out. "I'll go pay." He said, motioning towards the small Shell station. "I'll wave to you and you can start filling up the tank."

Prue sighed. "Fine." She said, glancing at her daughter in the backseat, who was fast asleep.

Andy made his way into the Shell, looking at his surroundings as he went. Man, this place seems to be really run down. He thought, as he saw the dirty floors and balding senior behind the counter. Andy walked up the the counter.

"Yeah?" The man asked, narrowing his eyes at Andy.

Andy pulled a 20 dollar bill from his wallet and slid it across the counter. "Twenty, on pump five, please."

"A huh." The man grumbled, as he added the money to the pump. "It's ready." He turned, spitting a large mouthful of tobacco into the trashcan behind the counter.

"Thanks.." Andy said, before motioning to Prue.

Prue rubbed her hands across her bare arms. The Nevada air was chilly, this late in the evening. The sun had all ready gone down and now the sky was a dark cerulean color. She pulled open the small pocket where the gas tank was, grabbed the pump, and thrust it into the small hole. She glanced back, pushing in the button, and starting the pump. This is such a waste. She thought. In all truthfullness, she was just afraid to go see Andy's family. She never was a social butterfly, like Phoebe, as well as the fact that Prue and Andy's mother seemed to clash, because they were both so stubborn. Prue had secretly thought that Vivienne, Andy's mother, had been part of the reason that Andy had decided to go to another college after High School. She was pulled from her thoughts, as she felt a cold burst of air encircle her, and her witchy instincts were instantly on alert. Her head swerved to the side, feeling a sharp pain across her arm. She looked down to see that she was bleeding. "What the..." Her eyes scanned around, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, except for some trash and sand that seemed to be swirling around, due to the cold wind that was now blowing.

"Prue!" Andy bellowed, coming up behind Prue. "Are you okay?"

Prue nodded, wiping the blood away from her arm, to reveal 2 jagged cuts.

"You're bleeding." He said, pulling a clean tissue from his pocket, and dabbing Prue's wounds. He shook looked around. "What happened?"

"I don't know."

"Magical?"

Prue shrugged, pulling the pump out of the car. "I..I don't think so. I mean, there was a gust of wind and I guess something must have flew past." She attached the lid back on the tank. At least, I hope that's all it was. She thought, as she got into the car.

Andy got into the driver's seat, sighing as he buckled himself in. "Are you sure..."

"Andy! I said I'm fine!" Prue snapped, before locking the car doors and waving her hand at the road. "Let's just get this over with."

Andy shook his head. Why is she acting like this? He thought, as he pulled out of the Shell sation's parking lot and headed back down the desolate road.

TO BE CONTINUED...

A/N: BTW, while I'm off on a Bush rant right now, I have something to share with you fellow anti-Bush people (and people who oppose "No Child Left Behind" in general, which I strongly oppose). This is a great little joke. My English teacher gave it to me last week...

"No Child Left Behind: The Football Version"

Author Unknown

1. All teams must make the state playoffs, and all will win the championship. If a team does not win the championship, they will be on probation until they are the champions, and coaches will be held accountable.

2. All kids will be expected to have the same football skills at the same time and in the same conditions. No exceptions will be made for interest in football, a desire to perform athletically, or genetic abilities or disabilities. ALL KIDS WILL PLAY FOOTBALL AT A PROFICIENT LEVEL.

3. Talented players will be asked to work out on their own without instruction. Coaches will use all their instructional time with the athletes who aren't interested in football, have limited athletic ability or whose parents don't like football.

4. Games will be played year round, but statistics will only be kept in the 4th, 8th, and 11th games.

5. This will create a New Age of sports where every school is expected to have the same level of talent and all teams will reach the same minimal goals.

If no child gets ahead, then no child will be left behind.
