"Prue I want to have a talk with you." Grams called Prue into the kitchen as soon as Prue arrived home.
"Guess what, you remember Inspector Morris right?" Prue said
"Yes, we go back." Grams said happily. They had always been family friends.
"His son, Andy asked me to the dance!" Prue jumped up and down, but Grams did not smile as she expected her too.
"That's too bad because you won't be going." Grams said sternly.
"What? Why not? I already told him yes" Prue said franticaly. She had been wanting Andy to ask her for ever.
"I got a call from Paige's school today. There was an incident in PE" Grams said.
"What happened? Is she okay?" Prue said getting upset.
"Yes, she's upstairs in her room. She said the 'F' word in gym." Grams said.
"I didn't teach her that." Prue said. This is why she couldn't go to the dance! Because of Paige!
"I think you did. I also think you'd be wise to start monitering your usage of language infront of her." Grams said
"Grams!" Prue tried to argue. She had to go to the dance.
"Prue go upstairs. You're grounded untill next week." Grams said.Prue sighed angrily and went upstairs. She heard Paige sniffling in her room. Normally she would go in and see what was wong, but she was too angry. She went into the room that she and Piper shared.
"What did Grams say to you?" Piper asked turning away from her homework.
"I'm grounded because Paige said fuck!" Prue said falling onto her bed.
"I'm sorry." Piper said.
"I'm angry. Andy finally asked me to the dance, and now I can't go!" Prue said nearly in tears.
"No wonder he seemed so happy in math." Piper said.
"Well, it's all over now." Prue said.
"I'll be right back." Piper said leaing the room. Prue noticed her unfinished homework on her desk. Piper usually had all her homework done by 3:45, and school ended at 3:30.Something must have been preocupying her.
"You can go to the dance" Piper said coming in a few minutes later.
"Why?" Prue asked.
"I told Grams I said it infront of Paige." Piper said.
"Thank you so much!" Prue said hugging Piper.
"It's not like I had plans anyway." Piper shrugged.
"What about your party on Saturday?" Prue asked.
"Devon, the kid who's throwing it, well his parents came home early from their trip so it's cancelled." Piper said. She was looking foreward to it too.
"You are the best younger sister ever!" Prue hugged her again.
"Hey, Prue I think Paige is crying." Pheobe said coming into Prue's room. Once again without knocking.
"Did you ask her what was wrong?" Prue asked.
"She said nothing. she won't talk to me." Phoebe said.
"I'll talk to her." Prue said getting up. Her little sister had been crying a lot lately. It was a shame too because it was her birthday soon, and usually around this time she was always very happy.
"Paige, can I come in." Prue said knocking on the door.
"Fine" Paige said. Prue came over and sat on her bed.
"What's wrong?" she asked her youngest sister. Paige burried her head in Prue's chest and cried. Prue rubbed her back until she stopped crying.
"Everyone is being so mean to me. Richard said Glen had a crush on me, and now Glen can't even look at me." Paige cried. Prue thought it was cute the little kid drama, but to Paige it was very serious.
"Paige, there are plenty of other people you can become friends with." Prue said.
"But I liked being friends with Glen and Richard!" Paige said.
"Obviously they are mean and you shouldn't hang out with them." Prue said.
"But we were friends." Paige started to cry again. Prue remembered when she was younger and the gap between genders opened. She had immeadiatly took to make up and away from sports soon becoming a girly girl, but for Paige it was diffrent.
"Do you really want to be friends with mean people?" Prue asked paige as if it was a serious question.
"No" Paige said quitly.
"Why don't you be friends with Bridgett, and Sarah?" Prue asked they lived just down the streat and were very sweet. They also really liked prue for some reason.
"All they do is make up and watch tv, and do their nails." Paige said.
"Have you ever even tried those things?" Prue asked Paige.
"I get it.I'll try" Paige agreed, "I'll just miss Glen"
"Did you like him?" Pue asked hoping maybe her little sister was starting to like boys. She knew Pheobe and Piper would be extatic that she was growing out of her tomboy phase.
"No!" Paige shrieked, but on the inside she was debating whether that was the truth or not.
"Okay okay" Prue said smiling. She could tell Paige liked Glen.
"Prue!" Piper yelled from the next room over. Prue smiled at Paige then left.
"Yeah?" Prue asked Piper.
"Truth or dare?" Piper asked. prue sat on her bed and Piper sat on hers. Whenever one of them had something to tell eachother they would say truth or dare. It was there special game. Especialy because the information was usually something juicy or embarrassing, something the other couldn't get without paying for it.
"Truth" Prue said. She chose truth because she told Piper everything, and last time she chose dare she ended up running naked outside at one am. That would have been fine with Prue except that it was rainging, and Piper locked her out after. Eventally she let Prue in, and Prue got her back the next week by mixing x-lax into her morning coffee.
"Have you ever kissed anyone?" Piper asked. This was a question that Prue was ashamed of. Not because she had ever kissed anyone, but because she had never.
"No" she said quietly. She was one of the only girls in her class that hadn't, but she always felt it should be special so she had held off.
"Wow, I always thought you had and didn't tell me." Piper said.
"Nope, I tell you everything." Prue said.
"Everything?" Piper raised her eyebrow at Prue.
"Except that once, but that was embarassing." Prue cringed, "Anyway, your turn. Truth or dare?"
"Truth" Piper said.
"Tell me what's on your mind?" Prue said
"I am in love with this boy Leo" Piper sighed. Prue couldn't help but smile for her little sister.
"Aww" she said. Then they heard giggles coming from outside their door.
"Pheobe, come in!" Piper yelled.
"Hello" Pheobe said laughing.
"Phoebe, that wasn't nice." Prue told her sister.
"I wasn't listening in, I swear. I was coming in to ask if we could go shopping now, and I heard it." Pheobe said solemly.
"You swear." Piper asked.
"Yeah" Pheobe said sincerely.
"Okay, but don't tell anyone" Piper said.
"Fine" she agreed.
"You guys want to go. The bus leaves in twenty minutes." Prue said looking at her clock.
"Yeah, I'll get my bag."Pheobe said leaving.
"Want to come?" Prue asked piper.
"No thanks" Piper said
"I'll get you something courtesy of dad." Prue said pulling out her credit card. Victor always sent them gifts because he was never around. They all accepted the gifts, and never let the fact that he wasn't around bother them. Except Prue. It always upset Prue, but she would never admit it.
"Thanks" Piper smiled
"No problem" Prue said putting her cell phone into her favorite black prada purse, also courtesy of Victor. All the girls had one, even Paige. Victor really spoiled them.
