A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! I'm glad everyone likes the story so far! This next chapter is short, so it only took a little while to write, but the next one is where the storyline really begins!
Princess Pinky: Thanks for reviewing! You of course have read my other stories so you know what happens, but I'm glad you still find this enjoyable! And yes, people who think The Craft is satanic are hypocrites, lol…
Erica: Happy Easter to you, too! (That is, if you celebrate Easter…)
Coquetry: Sorry about not being able to watch The Craft! Well, anyway, I'm glad you like the story so far and I hope you continue to like it once it develops further!
CHAPTER THREE- NOT MEANT TO BE SISTERS
January 23, 1997
Prue's been back almost three weeks and still hasn't shown any kindness whatsoever towards me. She uses my every flaw as an excuse to call me the black sheep of the family. I hate it. I hate her. (If I told Piper that, she'd just say "Hate is a strong word, Phoebe." Like that would help me.) Just an hour ago was dinner. The Halliwells have gone almost three weeks without saying a word to each other at the table. Prue and I don't even look at each other; we just stare at our food. Piper smiles and tries to start a conversation, in hopes of getting us to drop this grudge we have against each other, but it never works. (Hey, Prue's the one with the grudge, not me.) Grams just stares vacantly at all of us. Her whole face seems to sigh as she watches us argue. She gave up trying to make us tolerate each other a long time ago. Unlike Piper, Grams realizes it can't be done. Prue and I were just not meant to be sisters, I swear it. I think one of us got switched at birth and we've been forced to live with each other in this house ever since. Every time one of us tries to move out, something always happens that makes us move back in. I attempted having a dorm at college once- not a good idea. It was rat-infested, thanks to the jackasses who left food in there after they graduated. I was too freaked to try and find another dorm after that. So of course, here I am, and here I'll be for the rest of eternity. Hopefully not an eternity with Prue.
A/N: The next chapter might take a little longer, but hang in there! Review!
