Okey Dokey.. I'm updating. I have free time on my hands because my school gets out early on Mondays. Yay! Monday! I haven't really decided if I'm going to make Paige grow younger yet or if I'm going to change Piper yet. It depends...Thanx for the reviews everybody! You make me feel loved.
" Phoebe.. Phoebe...could I come in and talk to you?" Prue asked her younger sister through a closed door.
" No go away. Anyway shouldnt you be gawking over Paige your favorite?"
" Phoebe. You know I don't have favorites. "
" Liar." She heard Phoebe sniffle. Prue was upset now too. It always made her upset to see Phoebe cry.
" Baby." She said as she flicked the door open with her telekinesis and walked in scooping Phoebe into a hug. " Tell me why you're really upset."
Phoebe looked Prue right in the eye and deadpanned " I'm supposed to be the baby. Not Paige. No one pays attention to me anymore."
Prue felt like screaming. How was she supposed to make Paige and Phoebe get close if Phoebe wanted nothing to do with it?
" Pheebs. You know you'll always be my little sister, just now there is someone else you have to share that spot with. Paige really loves you and looks up to you. Its not right of you to be mean to her. How would you feel if me or Piper treated you like you treated Paige today?"
" Bad."
" Right. So don't you think you owe Paige an apology?"
Phoebe nodded eevn though she had no intention of giving her one.
" Good I expect you to tell her so right after we're done chatting. I also expect you to be nice to her."
" Fine" Phoebe growled still pissed at Paige. " Where is the twerp?" she grumbled underneath her breath
" What was that missy?" Prue asked threatiningly
" Nothing. Nothing." Phoebe quickly tried to save.
" Dishonesty is not good Phoebe and you know I don't appreciate it. "
" Of course your majesty." Phoebe spat
Prue was actually really gettinng fed up with Phoebe now. She remembered clearly now. Her and Phoebe hadn't gotten along at all when phoebe was this age. She had been a total brat. Prue would have to set down some rules as she had done with Paige so Phoebe would not get out of control like Paige almost had.
" Phoebe that is unacceptable. I come up here trying to be nice to you even though you were totally out of line today the way you treated Paige, and dont say I'm taking her side because shes the baby you know thats not true and you disrespect me. I have no choice but to punish you im sorry.No t.v. for tonight and instead of watching t.v. you are going to play with Paige. No buts."
Phoebe looked down at the floor and Prue knew immediatly what she was doing. Sweet little Phoebe had a way of making herself cry. Once she got started she could go on forever. It had always worked on Grams and on Piper but never on Prue. Prue always knew she was faking. Phoebe seemed to have forgotten that little detail.
" Oh no. Oh no.' Prue said " Your fake tears don't work on me sister. You're still punished. So go on get downstairs. I want to hear that apology."
Phoebe looked up, tears mid flow. " Damn you are good." She scoffed and went stomping down the stairs.
" No cursing either!" Prue called after her. She was getting good at this disciplinarian thing.
Phoebe looked in the living room for Paige and in the kitchen where Piper was trying to make dinner but failing for some miserable reason. All Phoebe knew was she was cursing like crazy at the oven.
Phoebe just shrugged and left the room. She figured Paige would be up in her bedroom playing stupid little kid games. Phoebe would just simply go up there and threaten Paige telling her that if she didnt go find Prue and tell her Phoebe had apologized then she would throw Slappy in the garbage disposal. Phoebe laughed out loud at her own plan. It was so mean she loved it. That would show Paige to steal her place in the family.
" Hello" She said as she walked into Paige's bedroom and saw her sitting on the floor in front of her t.v. watching what appeared to be the sesame street videos Phoebe had bought her the day before-what had she been thinking doing that anyway-sucking her thumb, eyes fixated on the set, in a trance.
She looked up when she heard Phoebe enter the room and quickly stood up visibly afraid .
" H-h-hi" She stuttered.
Phoebe laughed a suave laugh and glided her way over to Paige's bed where Slappy lay.
Paige gulped and mustered up courage. " What are you doing here?"
" Oh nothing, honey." Phoebe said the last word coldly " I just came to see my sister is that so much to ask?'
Paige shook her head no.
" Thats what I thought. Now Paigey..' She said a little too sweetly " Prue wanted me to come in here to apologize to you, but i'm not big on apologies so i was just wondering if you could you know maybe go and tell her you and me are on good terms. That way we spare some of the trouble."
Paige wasn't stupid. " No way." She said " Why should I?"
Phoebe gingerly picked up Slappy and wrang his neck violently. " Because my little sister if you don't Slappy here is going to get the ax."
Paige gasped. Phoebe wouldn't " You wouldn't."
" Watch me." She grinned evilly going twisting the dolls neck even tighter.
Paige started to cry loudly and ran to the door " I'm telling!"
Phoebe was quick though and managed to close the door while covering Paige's mouth with her hand to stifle her cries.
When she finally released, She put her fingers to her lips and looked at Paige sure that she would be quiet and listen to Phoebe. After all she was the big sister. She was supposed to be in charge.
No such luck though. Paige opened up her mouth and screamed so loud Phoebe thought her eardrums would burst. She was so in trouble.
Prue came running at the cries of the youngest and when she opened the door and saw Phoebe in the room, she expected the worst.
She gave Phoebe an angry look and took Paige in her arms. " Honey Honey." She cooed " What happened,"
" Phoebe." Paige wailed
Prue shot Phoebe another look who was attempting to play innocent.
" I didn't do anything." She frowned
" Sure you didn't. Phoebe I really expect better from you."
" But-But-" She tried
" I don't want to hear it Pheebs. Go think about what you did in your room." and with that she carried Paige out of the room baby talking to her.
Phoebe looked up at Paige over Prue's shoulder and Paige stuck her tounge out at her. Ooo was she gonna get it.
Piper alerted Prue a little while later that the oven was not working. She could not make dinner. So they made the decision to go out.
" Where we going?'" Paige asked gleefully as Piper strapped her into the car.
" To dinner Paige I already told you this."
" But where?"
" You'll see."
Paige quieted down after that. She loved suprises.
They eventually arrived at a casual italian restaurant.
" I hate pizza." Phoebe growled just to be difficult
" Then you'll have something else." Prue told her
Phoebe whined and complained all throughout the meal, while Paige played with her food. Prue shared a look with Piper informing her that they should leave fast.
" Okay guys." Piper said " Time to leave."
Phoebe got up coopertively and took Prue's hand when it was offered to her. Paige however was more reluctant.
" I don't wanna go home yet." She pouted " I was having fun"
"Paigey but its late and you have to go to sleep."
Paige wouldn't get up and Piper had to fight with her to get her to cooperate. It ended with her in tears over something that wasn't even really important.
By the time they got home, Piper was on the verge of collapsing, which she did, on the couch.
Prue let her sleep and led Phoebe and Paige up to bed. First she brought Paige into Phoebes room and read them both a story. Phoebe dozed off in the middle but Paige ever the energetic one was wide awake.
Prue took her into her room and got her to put on a pull-up so there would be no more accidents even though she was reluctant.
" I don't want you to tell Phoebe." Paige insisted
" I won't"
" You swear?"
" Yes sweetie I swear."
" Good." Paige stated finally climbing into her bed. She kissed Prue goodnight and fell into a peaceful sleep.
When Phoebe was sure Paige was sound asleep and Prue was also, she crept out of bed and snuck into Paiges room. Her sister looked so cute sleeping, it almost made Phoebe have second thoughts about what she was about to do. Almost. She recited a quick spell, which if it worked would make Paige's thumbs taste really bad. That way she wouldn't be able to suck them anymore , which would make her really upset, and give Prue and Piper a huge headache. She smiled as she finished the spell looking forward to its results and skipped off back to bed cheerful.
