Chapter one

'Leave me alone you cant tell me what to do you ain't my mother!' Melissa Halliwell shouted at her aunt Piper

'No but i'm the closest thing you've got!' Piper yelled back getting extremely pissed at her neice.

'Oh yeah? what do you call phoebe and paige?' she retorted. Man she was definatly Prue's daughter impossible to reason with! Thankfully though Paige chose that instant to orb in with phoebe.

'Great one second more with brat up there and i would have sooo been tempted to blow her up!'

'I heard that!'

'Good for you!'

'Whoa there' Paige jumped in trying to play referee.

'Keep outta this!' this yelled by both Melissa and Piper.

'You know what? screw this i'm going to fetch Wyatt and Chris and by the time i get back hopefully a demon would have attacked you and done something useful for once!'

'Piper uncalled for especially in this house!' Resoned Phoebe but was met only with the slamming of the door as Piper stormed out.

'What the hell went on by the way?' Paige asked curiously

'None of your business!' Melissa muttered and ran back up the stairs to her room.

'Well' said Paige 'just another peaceful day at the manor huh?'

'Oh yeah'

It was the evening now and Piper was still seething at Melissa, she was such a little brat! Still brat or not she was still her neice and she guessed she really shouldn't have said that bit about a demon attacking her, not that the little witch couldn't defend herself. Her older sister Prue had died 14 years before when Melissa was barely 3 months old and as Leo had to chose a sister to save and saved Piper she was the one Melissa argued with most. Which in a way was understandable but in another way was completely uncalled for. She sighed she really needed Prue now if only she was still here. But then again she could be in fact she could be here in a matter of seconds if she was called for. Well that was decided pretty quickly in her mind so she headed up to the attic and the book of shadows which was stored up there.

Paige was restless. There was literally nothing to do for once and as she had given up her art years before her mind was officially at a loss of what to do with herself. Maybe she could try out some more potions from the book of shadows...maybe not. Ahh screw it if there were concequences she would deal with them after! She wondered upstairs and found that she was not the only sister to be struck with the idea, Piper had beaten her to it. Paige closed the door behind her and Piper looked up.

'What are you doing up here Paige?'

'Erm vanquishing the demon of boredom'

'I see'

'Yeah so what are you doing?'

'Summoning Prue'

'What? you have got to be kidding me Piper' Paige said clearly shocked and at a loss of what to say.

'Nope i'm serious now are you gonna help me or stand there impersonating a goldfish?'

'But why now after like 14 years!'

'Because her daughter is seriously pissing me off, kind of like you are now by just standing there!'

'Oh right sorry'

'So are you going to help?'

'I don't think so Piper'

'Why? did you or did you not say you wanted to vanquish some boredom demon butt?' Piper put on her most pleading expression.

'Oh ok just stop it.' Paige said reluctance clearly showing on her face.

'Knew you'd come through'

'Yeah, yeah just don't mention it' Paige grumbled as they began the speel to summon the spirit of there older sister.

Hear me now, hear my cries,
Spirit from the other side,
Cross now the great divide.

There was a swirl of white lights and then Prue appeared before them.

'Hello Piper how have you been?'

'Prue' seemed the only word Piper was managing to get out at that precise moment.

'And i guess you must be my little sister right?'

'Erm yup thats me Paige' she barely managed to finish the sentence before Prue swept her up in a hug.

'So Piper where's Phoebe at?'

'She's downstairs somewhere.'

'Hey aunt Piper what's going on in her-' Melissa began but immediatly stopped like Piper before she found her throat constricted and found it incredibly hard to form even a basic sentence.

'Melissa, it's so good to see you again!'

'Mom' she whispered feeling as though this was a dream that she could wake from at any moment. But the hug she recieved from Prue seemed real enough at least for now.
