"Piper, I need to say something to you" Leo says

"Yeah?" I say hoping it's good.

"When I saw you being hurt, I jumped to help you." He says

"And I thank you so much." I say

"Thats not it." He says.

"I figured." I say

"When, I was helping you back at my house. I started to relaize I really liked you. I thought it was that I felt horrible about what happened to you, but then I realised that I really like you. I knew it when I first came over a few days ago, but I didn't really realize it until now." He says. Today is like the best day ever.

"I like you too." I say

"Really, because it's okay if you don't" He say

"No, I do." I say

"I'm glad. I knew I had to tell you" He says kissing me on the cheak. We stare into each others eyes, and he leans in.

"I'm back" Grams says coming through the door.We jump apart just before she comes into the room where we are.

"Where's Prue?" Grams asks.

"Right here" she says coming down the staircase.

"Did you two talk?" Grams asks

"Yeah" Prue nods. Grams probobly askd her to tell me, but even if it wasn't Prue's choice I'm glad she told me.

"Well, Leo. I'm so glad you came over." Grams says

"Anything for you Penny, and I had to see how Piper was." He says

"Well, she's a trouper. We want to thank you for helping her." Grams say

"You all have. Many many times." He laughs.

"Well, I thought we'd all go out for a nice lunch." Grams says

"Alright." I say

"Cool" Prue says

"I'd love to" Leo says. I wonder why he isn't at school, then again if I were him and my parents were never home I would ditch too.


"This was a nice peaceful day." I say

"Totaly," Prue said.

"Paige and Phoebe should be home any minute now."I say

"They have grown up so much from before I left. I mean Phoebe's a teenager now, and Paige is in middle school, and you. You're in highschool." Prue says

"Phoebe's always been a teenager at heart." I say

"But Paige, I mean she grew up so much." Prue says

"Yeah" I nodd. When you're their you kind of miss it because it happens slowly, but thinking back to a year ago a lot has changed. Phoebe is more wild, Paige more girly, and me more responsable- I like to think.

"How come you guys didn't have to go to school?" Paige asked coming into the house to see Prue and I talking and laughing at the table.

"Because we're older." I say. I love being older, it basically gives me the right to always be right.

"Man, I can't wait till highschool." Paige says dropping her bag on the counter.

"Don't be in such a hurry to grow up." Prue says rufling her hair. Paige makes a face at her and sits in a chair next to us.

"So what did you two do today." Paige asks.

"I'm home" Phoebe says coming through the hall and into the kitchen.

"We had a wild party." I say

"What? That's no fair." Paige says. She can be so gullible.

"Don't wory, it couldn't have been much of a party.I mean, I wasn't there." Phoebe says

"Cute." Prue says. Phoebe flashes her a quick smile.

"Did you never have to have braces?" Prue asked Phoebe.

"Nope." Phoebe says. She's lucky, she has an amazing smile. Not that I'm complainging about mine, but I had three years of braces.

"I have a retainer at night." Paige says

"Lucky you" Prue says

"Yeah, no braces too." She smiles. I wonder if she's even lost all her baby teath.

"So save us any food from this 'wild' party?" Phoebe asks looking through the fridge.

"There's half a salad." I say

"Ugh" Phoebe shakes her head. If it's not fried or sugared, or dripping in grease she won't eat it. One day it will catch up to her.

"Jackpot." Paige says grabbing a box of chocolate from the bottom of the panrty.

"Score" Phoebe says sitting by her.

"You look rediculous." I say. Paige had chocolate alover her mouth, and Phoebe some how on her nose.

"You're also going to have a huge stomach ache." Prue sayds

"It's worth it." Paige sas. I grab the box.

"Let's see." Prue says taking it from me.

"No fair" Paige says

"What's no fair is that you two left us only with the fruit filled ones." Prue says handingh back the box. Phoebe gets up and looks for something new at the prospect of fruit. Paige puts the box back.

"I'll make some cookies. You two clean up." I say. They nodd and run upstairs. I can hear them fighting over the bathroom.

"Are you realy going to make them cookies?" Prue asks

"Tomarow" I say getting up from the table.

"I'm going to call someone and find out what I missed." I say

"Me too" Prue says going upstairs.
