Surprises

It was Wednesday morning, the four sisters and there grandmother where sitting down eating their breakfast. Nothing had been said about the party, even Prue hadn't mentioned Piper's state that night.

"Well girls, as you know I wont be home to night, so I'll see you tomorrow," their Grandmother said referring to the fact she was having to work a night shift that night, much to Prue's happiness.

Before kissing each of the heads lightly, "ok well bye." Each girl replied with there own 'Bye,' before returning to her food.

Prue knew she would have to tell her sister soon, especially if she was expected to cook for it, that evening, and now seemed as good a time as any, especially now Grams had left.

"Piper," she mumbled.

Piper looked up at her sister suspiciously, "yes." She replied wondering what her sister was about to ask.

"Well, you know tonight…. I kind of."

"Kind of what?" both Paige and Phoebe where now interested in their older sisters discussion.

"Well, you know the other night, I said Cole brought you home," it suddenly hit Phoebe she hadn't told her about the other guy. "Well you know a few nights before that that other guy gave you a lift."

"Yes," Piper seemed to sound interested all of a sudden, but also a slight tone of fear was captured in her voice.

"Well, he also brought you home." Piper's face dropped, him the guy, the one who had saved her, he brought her home. Great he probably thinks I'm some drunk now. O bloody brilliant.

"And I kind of asked him and Cole to dinner tonight."

"What!" everyone now faced Phoebe, who had been the one to shout. Surprising all including Piper. "How could you, he…. He, UHHHH!" and with that she stormed upstairs.

"Right well I better do some shopping then," seemed to be all that Piper could manage to say.

As the table dispersed Piper was left sitting alone, and as she sat she thought, why? Why did he do that? Why had he saved her again?

Once she knew her thoughts would lead her nowhere she thought of Phoebe and sighed as she remembered the way Phoebe had acted when they had heard they where coming to dinner.

She knew Prue wouldn't bother talking to her about it and Paige wouldn't think to. Which left her to do the deed, no matter how much she wanted to avoid dinner and all that came with it.
