"Phoebe darling put this on your cuts. It will help them heal, and I'm going to your Aunt Gail's house. Don't wait up." Grams said handing Phoebe a jar of pink goo. Phoebe smelled it, and smiled. It smelled like diffrent herbs and flowers. She went into the bathroom and put it on.
"What do you think you'll want for dinner." Prue said coming in.
"Pizza" Phoebe said. She loved to order in pizza, but ever since Prue turned thirteen she suddenly became health concience, and would rarely eat pizza.
"Okay" Prue nodded, and went into the kitchen to make the call.
"So guys we should play a game." Piper said when Phoebe came into Paige's room. She had just been in their looking for a pair of her pants she couldn't find.
"Yeah, we should." Paige said.
"I have an idea" Phoebe said.
"What?" Paige asked.
"Truth or dare" Phoebe said.
"Yeah!" Paige smiled. They always played with out her, and now she was excited they finally invited her. She had no clue that they had a hidden motive.
"Come on, Prue needs to play too." Piper said. They all went downstairs.
"Okay" Prue said into the phone and hung up.
"Want to play truth or dare?" Paige asked Prue.
"What a great idea!" Prue said as if this was just happening and that they hadn't planned it.
"Yeah!" Paige said again. Prue picked her up, and took her into the living room.They all sat in the chairs in a circle.
"So Paige you can go first." Prue said.
"Phoebe, truth or dare?" Paige asked.
"Dare" Phoebe said. She didn't think her ten year old sister could possibly come up with a dare embarrassing enough for her to not wnt to do it.
"I dare you to call next door and hang up!" Paige giggled. Phoebe shook her head. Her sister was an amatuer truth or dare player. She picked up the phone and did it. She thought it was the stupidest dare she had ever done.
"My turn, Paige, truth or dare?" Phoebe asked.
"Dare" Paige said. Phoebe sighed. She was hoping Paige would pick truth.
"Fine, I dare you to run across the street naked." Phoebe said. It was stupid, and Paige would never do it, but she thought if Paige kept getting dares like that she'd have to pick truth.
"No" Paige said.
"Well, then do you want to pick truth?" Phoebe asked. Prue shot Phoebe a look to say that she was being to obvious, "or I can make up a new dare." she added.
"New one" Paige said.
"I dare you to shove an entire piece of pizza into your mouth when it gets here." Phoebe said.
"Fine" Paige nodded. She was contemplating if she culd fit an entire piece of pizza into her mouth.
"Your turn again Paige" Piper said.
"Phoebe truth or dare?" Paige asked.
"Truth" Phoebe said. Paige wasn't old enough to be able to ask anything embarrassing enough for her not to want to answer.
"When you were trying on your outfit yesterday, for your date, what were you doing in the bathroom with that entire box of tissues?" Paige asked. Phoebe felt her cheeks turn red.
"I had a cold" Phoebe said.
"Really?" Prue asked laughing. Piper put her hand over her mouth trying to supress a lugh. Some of her friends used to stuff their bras, but she never did.
"Yeah" Phoebe said sniffling.
"Okay" Prue said laughing.
"My turn." Phoebe said sounding a little pissed off.
"Go" Paige said. She didn't understand what Prue and Piper were laughing about.
"Fine Paige truth or dare?" Phoebe scowled. She wanted to uncover paige's little secret. She was upset, and wanted revenge. She knew her sisters would never tell, but it was embarrassing and she knew they'd tease her.
"Truth" Paige chose this time.
"What's going on with you and Glen?" She asked. Paige grew nervous. All her sisters leaned in and stared intensly at her.
"He told me he likes me" she said quietly.
"And do you like him?" Prue asked. Paige nodded. Her cheeks getting redder with every second.
"I think there's something else" Phoebe said.
"No" Paige clearly lied.
"Paige, if you want to play with us you have to follow the rules and be honest" Piper said. She hoped her baby sister would fall for that one.
"You never asked if he kissed me" Paige said.Her sisters jaw's dropped. Paige ran upstairs realizing she just revieled her big secret. Piper ran upstairs. She was about to cry. Her two younger sister were having better love lives than she was. She'd never been on a date or ever been kissed. She didn't have the nerve to. Leo and her walked for a bit. He baught her lunch, and then tried to kiss her. Piper wanted to be kissed more than anything, but she got scared and mumbled something about having to get home. She knew she had blown her chance. Leo was probobly in love with some other women by now. One who wasn't afraid to kiss, or maybe even do more.
"I'll get that." Phoebe said after the doorbell rang.
"Money's on the counter" Prue said assuming it was the pizza man. She went upstairs to talk to her sisters.She knew she had to be the mother now.She remembered how alone she felt when she was their ages, and how much she needed a mother. She walked by their rooms upstairs. She heard crying in th bathroom, and she heard pacing in Paige's room. She deided to talk to Piper first.
"Pipe, can I come in?" she asked.
"No" Piper said sniffling.
"Piper, come on." Prue said symathetically. Piper unlocked the door, and sat back down. prue sat next toher.
"What's wrong sweetie?" She asked.
"Me" Piper said. Prue remembered feeling like this when she was Piper's age. Like you didn't belong, and you weren't as good as your friends.
"Piper nothings wrong with you." Prue said rubbing her back.
"Paige, who isn't even eleven yet has been kissed, and Phoebe is going on a date tomarow. I've never done either of those, and I'm two years older than them." Piper cried. She rested her head on Prue's shoulder and cried.
"Piper sweetie does this have anything to do with Leo yesterday?" Prue asked. She was very intuative and noticed her sister seemed upset when she came home.
"We had a great time, and I really like him." Piper said smiling a bit while thinking about him.
"Then what's wrong?" Prue asked.
"Me, he tried to kiss me and I ran away" Piper cried harder.
"That's okay. I was scared my first time too. I almost puked onhim." Prue laughed thinking about it. She could have used someone to talk to then.
"Yeah, well, I just ran away. He's probobly found someone new already." Piper said.
"Piper, I can tell he likes you. It was your first time ever going out with him. He is probobly upset at home now thinking that you think he's an ass for trying to kiss you on the first date." Prue said.
"Do you think I should call him?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, go down stairs." Prue said. Piper grabbed a tissue, and went downstairs. Prue stood up, and went into paige's room. Paige was curled up on her bed crying to herslef.
"Paige, what's wrong?" Prue asked sitting next to her on her bed.
"I don't know." Paige cried harder.
"What do you mean?" Prue asked.
"That's exactly what I mean. I don't understand what's happening. Sudenly all I can think about is Glen, and everything I used to love I don't care about anymore, and I have no clue about what's going on with you guys." Paige cried
"Paige, your growing up. Sometimes we move on. I remember I used to love to play soccer then one day I gave it up to paint my nails and watch movies with my girl fiends." Prue said.
"But I don't want to change. I like who I am." Paige said.
"Paige, you can only get better. Trust me." Prue said. Paige laughed a bit.
"It's just hard changing everything you though, you know?" Paige said with a lot of insight for a ten year old.
"You can always talk to me. You know that right?" Prue told her little sister.
"I guess, but sometimes I don't want to talk." Paige said. That confused her too she usually hated keeping secrets.
"That's fine, only if you want to." Prue said.
"Why is Phoebe and Piper so upset?" Paige asked
"Are" Prue corrected her.
"Whatever" Paige said.
"They are going through tough times too just like you." Prue said.
"But they always have it all together. I wish I was like that." Paige said.
"One day you will be, but the next few years will be tuff." Prue said to Paige.
"I'm lucky to have you guys" Paige sid.
"Yeah" Prue said. Paige laughed and hugged her.
"I'm going to go check on Phoebe" Prue said.
"Okay, thanks" Paige said. Prue went down the steps to see Phoebe sitting at the table with her head in her arms. Two large pizzas sat infront of her still in the box and untouched.
"Pheebs, you okay?" Prue asked Phoebe. Phoebe looked up. She hadn't been crying, but Prue could still tell something was wrong.
"Fine, I was just worried about them." Phoebe said. Prue thought there was something more, but she was tired, and Phoebe would talk later if she was ready. Two sisters in one day was good, Prue thought.
"Hungry?" She asked Phoebe.
"No" Phoebe said heading upstairs.
"Well two pizzas for me" Prue said to herself. She sat at the table alone and had a slice of vegetarian pizza. She wished she had an older sister to explain things to her. She sometimes felt like she was doing it all alone, and it was so hard. Keeping up pretenses, and staying friends with everyone, having to put her needs last, but she knew she had to keep going for her sisters. She was going to be there for them even if no one was there for her. Suddenly the phone rang knocking Prue out of her thoughts.
"Hello?" she said
"Hey, it's your aunt Gail." Gail said.
"Hi" she said.
"I was wondering if your Grams was there?" Gail asked.
"I thought she was at your place." Prue said. That was what Grams had told her. She was getting confused herself.
No, well just tell her to give me a call." Gail said.
"Alright. Love you, bye" Prue said hanging up. She wondered where Grams went.
Phoebe woke up around eleven, and sat up in bed. She looked over to see Paige fast asleep. Paige had a huge smile on her face. Phoebe wondered what she was dreaming about, or maybe who she was dreaming about? Phoebe got up and went over to her full length miror. She was getting to tall for it. She'd ask for a new one for her birthday. She rolled up her shirt, and noticed her cuts had seriously healed. That stuff Grams had given her must have been miracle cream. She looked a her shouler too. That had completely healed. She'd be able to waer a tanktop on her date tonight if she wanted too. Phoebe left her room and went into the bathroom. Prue was doing her make up.
"Good Morning." Prue said.
"Morning" Phoebe replied sleepily. She splashed her face with cold water, and felt more awake instantly.
"How are your cuts?" Prue asked putting down her mascara.
"Look." Phoebe said rolling up her shirt. She knew Prue would have to see it to believe it.
"Wow" Prue shook her head.
"I know" Phoebe nodded in disbelief.
"So are you excited for tonight?" Prue asked Phoebe.
"I can't wait!" Phoebe said smiling.
"Want me to put some make up on you?" Prue asked.
"Would you?" Phoebe asked excitedly. She had never worn make up before.
"Yeah tonight before you go." Prue smiled.
"Thanks" Phoebe said.
"I just want you to have a great time." Prue smiled at her younger sister. Then she left to go downstairs. Phoebe locked the door, and opened some of Prue's drawers. She pulled out one of her lipsticks and put it on. Just to experement with, she told herself. The color was too dark for her. She wiped it off with tissue and put it back. She closed the drawer, and took a shower.
Paige woke up to the sound of the shower turning on in the bathroom. It was an old house, and sometimes you could hear the water running through the pipes. She had a great nights sleep. She dreamed of Glen the entire night. Glen made her feel like no one had ever made her feel. It confused her, but she liked the fealing. She suddenly wanted to see him when she usually wouldn't care, and she found herself thinking about him at times when she shouldn't be. She had evben just dreamed about him. She had no clue what was going on with her, but whatever it was she liked it, and she was glad she and Prue had had their talk. It didn't straihten things out for her, but atleast she knew she was normal.
"What should I wear today?" She asked herself sitting up. She suddenly felt like she had to dress up for nothing in particular. For just a day in the park where she might run into Glen. She hadn't actually seen him since that day on the porch, but for almost very second after that she had wanted too. She shuffled through her closet. Most of her clothes were ripped, or too plain. She usually didn't care, but she wanted to stand out today. She went into Phoebe's drawers, and pulled out one of her shirts that she knew would make people look at her.
"Are you wearing my shirt?" Phoebe asked coming in.
"No" Paige said pulling it off, and puting on a shirt o her own. It didn't have the same affect on her that it had on Phoebe. Phoebe had a figure, even at only eleven, but almost twelve. She was also tall and skinny. Paige envied her. She looked a herself in the morror and felt disapointed.
"Paige you okay?" Phoebe asked her little sister. She looked distraught.
"Fine" paige said brushing her off. Phoebe shrugged and grabbed some clothes. Paige watched her change and wished she was more beautiful like Phoebe. Phoebe slipped on the shirt she was going to wear to tonight and smiled at herself in the miror. She was happy, and excited for tonight. She felt happier than she had in a long time. She pulled off her shirt so she wouldn't get it dirty, and put on a white tank top.
"Is this yours of mine?" Phoebe asked paige looking at herself in the miror.
"Probobly mine" Paige said. The shirt was a bit too small for Phoebe but it looked good. Phoebe looked at herself in the miror. She was pretty happy with herself for the first time in a while. There were things she'd always want like more cleavage or longer hair or even bigger fuller lips, but thinking about her date tonight made her pretty happy. Cole could of had anyone he wanted. Any girl with bigger boobs than her, or skinnier, or with higher cheek bones, but he shose her.
"Do you mind if I wear it?" Phoebe asked.
"It looks better on you anyway." Paige said. Phoebe looked at her for a minute and Paige smiled. Phoebe didn't know what was going on with Pige, but she remembered being her age and starting to doubt herself. She used to think she was too fat or too thin or too whatever, but eventually she realized she had to be happy with what she had, and she knew Paige would figure it out too, in her own time. Phoebe shrugged and went downstairs. Paige watched her sister leave. She and Phoebe were practicaly the same age, and sisters, but they looked nothing alike. Paige tied her red curls up. She wished she had the straight light brown hair that Phoebe had. She also wished she had the coloring she had, Paige was pretty pail. Paige took of her pajomas and put on jeans and another tanktop she had. The shirt definately looked better on Phoebe, and that bothered Paige. She looked at a picture of her and Phoebe.
"If I was beautiful like you." she said outloud to herself.
