AN: Sorry for not updating for a while, you know, school and all. You probably know how that is. Well, here's chapter five. Don't worry, I really like this fic, so I won't discontinue it.
CharmedAli - Well, you'll see whether it turns out well or not, but they will find out. Eventually. I have lots of things planned before then, to really incorparate her in their lives. Thanks for the review!
winter blaze - Thanks!
naiya-isis - Well, um... I'm not gonna say anything 'cause I don't wanna give away part of my plot, but thanks!
lillynilly - I actually haven't decided that. I keep going back and forth between the two. Thanks!
Chub - Well, Grams meets her briefly here. Don't worry, there will be lots of angst in this story, but also some light moments, as I could never make something all angst. There is some humor, but there are the really angsty chapters too. I like the word angst. I didn't know what it meant until Isn't that sad? Thanks for your review!
DragonflyFaith - Thanks, and don't worry, I won't stop! I love writing this fic, and have lots of plans for it! Thanks!
OTHCharmedFreak - Yeah, it is bad, but that's the point. But, she's a tough chick. Teehee. Anyways, thanks!
who wants to know - Thanks, and I am!
charmed-greek - You know, every time I see your name I keep thinking it says charmed-geek. Anyway, it is not the name of one of the girls in season seven, and a lot of them use Alex, not just Alexa. It's just a really cool name, and I guess a lot of people think so. Alexa is just he name of one of my good friends, and although she isn't treated like this, she is kind of like Piper. Yeah, I like ones w/ Paige as the main character too, but I like Piper lotses. Yups. She's my fav, and Paige is a close second, and Phoebe a close third. Thanks!
Chapter 5:
T:T:T:T
"So, why couldn't we vanquish that demon again?"
It was the next day, and Prue, Phoebe, Paige, Andy, and Leo were sitting under one of the trees in the school's front yard. They had battled the demon that Phoebe had seen in her premonition. It had been a tough battle, and Leo had to do some healing by the end. But, they had not been able to vanquish it, just harm it, though they had doubted it would last.
"Well," Leo started. "You needed the power of three, and you don't have that." Prue rolled her eyes. "God, why does every annoying demon need the power of three for a vanquish?" she asked. "Maybe 'cause they're the only ones that even have a chance against us?" Paige tried. "Yeah, which sucks." Phoebe interjected. "Agreed." Prue said, nodding.
Meanwhile, Paige was looking over to the other side of the yard. There was another mob of boys. "I think Alexa's here." she observed. The others looked over, and they noticed the crowd. "Yeah, that would be the indicator." Prue said sarcastically. Leo just looked jealously over at the other boys. "Let's go help her out." Phoebe said, getting up and running towards the mass. Her sisters looked at each other, and realized that Phoebe must have a plan up her sleeve. They followed her.
Phoebe ran right into the bunch. She maneuvered her way between the boys, not trying to attract their attention yet. Then, she saw her friend. She was wearing a very fashionable short-sleeve turtleneck, low-cut jeans, and a thick bracelet on her wrist. Not everyone could have pulled that off, but she did.
"Hey, Lex!" Phoebe called out. Piper turned her head, and spotted her friend. She smiled. "Hey, Pheebs! Over here!" she shouted, waving. It seemed that all the boys wanted to know who the hot girl was talking to, and their mouths seemed to drop open when they realized that it was another hot girl. When Phoebe reached Piper, she leaned over and whispered "The boys took this quite well, didn't they?" They both burst out laughing.
"What are you guys laughing about?" Prue asked. She and Paige had just run over, and it seemed that all the boys were staring at the four hot girls wide-eyed. Phoebe could swear that one of them had fainted. "Oh, just the boys." Piper whispered. "You're right, they are pretty hilarious, aren't they?" Paige asked. "Yes, very much so."
"So," Piper began, changing the subject and facing Phoebe. "Do you think that our plans could fall on today? My dad said yes." "And what plans would those be?" Phoebe asked jokingly. "You know, the ones where I go to your house, and meet your Grams, and we hang out?" Piper refreshed. "That would be so cool!" Paige burst out before she could stop herself. "Okay, yes from Paige, but what about you?" Piper asked. "Oh, yes, good. It's good. Yay!" Phoebe said, and jump-hugged her.
T:T:T
"So, what exactly is your Grams like? And would she be okay with this?"
It was the afternoon, and the four girls were walking up the driveway of Halliwell Manor, located at 1329 Prescott Street. It was a beautiful house. It had a reddish-pinkish outside, and beautiful wooden stained-glass windows. Piper thought that it was a magnificent place to live, and it seemed vaguely familiar.
"Oh, Grams will be fine. We bring friends home without notice all the time." Phoebe said, waving it off. "Yeah, especially Pheebs." Prue added, and Phoebe nudged her. "Ouchies, Pheebs!" Prue said. "It's true." Paige whispered in Piper's ear. They both giggled.
"Giggles! I hear giggles!" Phoebe proclaimed. "What are giggles?" "Well, they're like laughter, but a little quieter." Piper replied smartly. "I know what giggles are!" Phoebe said, lightly slapping Piper on the arm. "I just want to know why!" "Well, how are we supposed to know the roots of the word?" Paige asked, smiling. "NO! I want to know why you and Alexa were giggling just then!" Phoebe demanded. "Just when?" the two asked in unison, fake innocence playing across their mischievous features. "Back when... NEVER MIND!" Phoebe yelled, giving up on trying to get a valid answer out of the two. Prue, Piper, and Paige all burst out in laughter at their tricks on the poor little Phoebe.
By that time, the girls had reached the front door and were walking through it, still laughing. Grams walked in. "Well, what are my granddaughters up to today?" she asked.
"We're hanging out with our new friend." Prue said, and pushed Piper forward a bit. She immediately assumed the somewhat-shy demeanor that she had while meeting new people. Well, meeting new people except Phoebe and her sisters. "Hello, Ms. Halliwell. My name is Alexa Gordon. Nice to meet you." Piper said politely, holding out her hand. Grams looked a bit surprised by this gesture. Her granddaughters' friends were never this polite. She shook Piper's hand. "Nice to meet you too, Alexa darling." she said, smiling.
"Come on, Alexa. Let's get some munchies." Phoebe suggested, wanting to get away from her grandmother, despite the warm welcome that was given. "Yeah, you guys get those, and we'll be in the other room, k?" Prue asked, and she and Paige headed off to the conservatory. "Okay." Piper said, and headed off in the direction of the kitchen.
Phoebe followed Piper into the kitchen. She grabbed onto her best friend's arm, and she turned around. "What?" Piper asked. "How did you know where the kitchen was?" Phoebe asked, giving her a suspicious look.
T:T:T:T
AN: How did she know her way to the Manor's kitchen? I bet you can guess! Please, please review!
