"Dad! I'm home!" Aurora yelled as Melinda and herself walked into the house.

"Good," Donald said, coming down the stairs. "I got to run into work for a bit. I promise I'll be home by six."

"You better be dad." Aurora replied.

"Don't worry I will. Charisma is upstairs in her room, on the computer." Donald sighed, throwing on his shoes. "Bye stay out of trouble."

"I will." Aurora said as Donald disappeared out the door. She turned to Melinda, "Go make yourself comfortable in the living room. I'm going to go quickly check on Charisma."

"Ok.." Melinda sighed wandering into the living room as Aurora headed up the stairs.

Aurora walked to Charisma's room, she knocked on the door and opened it. "Whatcha doin'?" she questioned as she walked into the room.

"Playing games." Charisma replied, not looking away from the computer.

"Ok. I'll be downstairs if you need me." Aurora sighed leaving Charisma's room. Walking down the stairs, she once again got the eerie feeling someone was watching her. Shrugging it off she walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. She sat in one corner, pulling her knees to her chest and resting her head on her knees, while her arms were wrapped around her legs. "So what's bugging you Melinda?"

"I don't know where to start." Melinda mumbled.

"The beginning is always an awesome place."

"But I don't really know where the beginning is."

"Ok." Aurora thought for a moment, "Well what's bugging you the most right now?"

"Well, there's this guy..." Melinda trailed off.

"Oh, guy troubles. I've had a lot of experience with this topic." Aurora stated, "Well, anyway, go on."

"It's just... he's a complete asshole."

Aurora raised an eyebrow, "Did you just swear Melinda? Now what would your brothers say about that? Wait... what would your parents say about that?"

"I don't care what they have to say about me swearing. Because that's all I can say about that guy. He is a complete asshole."

"And let me guess...you are confused 'cause you have feelings for him?" Aurora questioned.

"How did you know?" Was Melinda's reply.

"'Cause I've been there and done that." Aurora stated. "Is he only an asshole to you? Or is he one to everyone?"

"Me mostly. More to me then he is to Peyton, and everyone else."

"Could be that he likes you, and doesn't know how to show it. Some guys are like that. They are complete asses to those they like." Aurora stated. "For instance I was probably your age when I went out with this guy named Brody. But before we started going out he was a complete ass to me. You know always bugging me about something or other, and never giving me a break. Then out of the blue he asked me out. I was pretty hesitant but I said yes. I thought why not get it over with. And he turned out to be one of the sweetest guys."

"What happened between the two of you?" Melinda questioned.

"I moved. He didn't like the idea of a long distance relationship, so we broke up." Aurora sighed, "But what can you do? In a way it helped me meet your brother."

Melinda laughed, "So you think this guy likes me then?"

"I'm betting he does." Aurora smiled. "And if you like him, why don't you make the first move? Ask him to the movies or something."

"I can't do that Aurora."

"And why not?"

"Because I'd freeze up, or get so embarrassed asking him."

"Hey, sometimes a girls gotta make the first move. I did with your brother."

"But you're you Aurora. You have no problems with talking to the opposite sex."

Aurora laughed, "Kay I find that funny, 'cause you grew up with two brothers. How can you have problems talking to the opposite sex. You have no problems talking to your brothers or cousins."

"But that's different. Their family."

"Do you talk to Adam and Eric? Chris's friends?"

"Yea."

"Well they're not family."

"True."

"It's mind over matter hun. Just keep telling yourself you can do it, and you will. You might not believe this, but I was quite the shy kid when I was younger."

"You're right. I don't believe it." Melinda replied. "I don't see you as the shy type."

"I was, I use to get others to say things for me. I was horrible."

"Well...what changed?"

"Haley forced me to open up around people. Told me that if I didn't she wouldn't talk to me anymore. And since she was pretty much my best friend I had to. So slowly I became less shy, and more outgoing."

Melinda nodded and was quiet for a few minutes before asking, "How do you deal with everything?"

"What do you mean?"

Melinda bit her lip, "How do you deal with life and magic?"

"So you know about me being a witch, huh?" Aurora questioned.

"The whole family does."

"Oh..." Aurora trailed off.

"You going to answer my question?"

"I deal with it one step at a time. Sometimes its hard, but you know it's my life, you learn to live with everything."

"But don't you ever wish you had nothing to do with magic?"

"All the time Melinda, all the time. But at the same time I know that it's brought me to where I am today. If it wasn't for magic, I might of not met Chris, Wyatt, you, and the rest of your guys's family. And meeting you guys was awesome."

"Oh yea, 'cause we're just that great."

"Hey, you guys are. Don't sell yourself short." Aurora smiled.

The two sat there for a couple more hours, only stopping when the phone rang. "Hello?" Aurora answered.

"Hey Aurora, it's Piper. Can you send Melinda home?"

"Sure Piper."

"Thanks Aurora"

"No problem."

"Bye."

"Bye." Aurora said hanging up the phone. Looking at Melinda she smiled and said, "It was awesome talking to you but by the sounds of it you gotta go home."

"Oh, well thanks for talking with me."

"It was no problem Melinda, anytime you need to talk again, I'll be here."

"Sounds good to me." Melinda smiled as she walked towards the door, putting on her shoes and coat as she got closer. "But I'll talk to you later."

"Yup. Have fun at home." Aurora smiled.

"I'll have as much as I can." Melinda replied before walking out of the house.

Aurora shook her head and headed upstairs. As she headed towards her room, she glanced in Charisma's room to make sure she was alright. When Aurora got to her room she sat on her bed and started at the wall. What was she going to say to Haley? She had been so cruel to her about reversing the spell on the Halliwell's, and didn't know how to say she overreacted.

Aurora's ears perked up when she heard the front door open. Standing up, Aurora stretched and left her room. Walking down the stairs she passed Haley who was walking up them. "Done work already?"

"Yea." Was all Haley said, before quickly finishing her walk up the stairs and to her room.

Aurora shook her head, she could tell Haley was mad, or upset. Sighing she walked the rest of the way down the stairs and to the living room. She collapsed on the couch, unsure of whether or not she should go to Haley and say she was sorry for overreacting, or wait for Haley to come downstairs

After a while Aurora gave up waiting for Haley to come back downstairs. She stood up and left the living room and headed up the stairs. She walked to Haley's bedroom door and knocked. "Yea?" she heard Haley question from the other side of the door.

"Can we talk Haley?"

"If you want to. Door's unlocked."

Aurora sighed and opened the door, walking in she saw Haley sitting at her desk writing something. Closing the door she asked, "What are you writing?"

"Nothing." Haley replied, "What can I do for you?

"Like I said I want to talk." Aurora replied sitting down on Haley's bed.

"About what?"

"About this morning." Aurora stated.

Haley turned around, "What about this morning?"

"I overreacted." Aurora sighed.

"Ya think?" Haley replied.

Aurora flinched at the tone of Haley's voice. "I'm sorry Haley. I really am. It's just... I don't know. I was mad because you reversed the spell, and didn't even think of telling me you were going to."

"Would have let me if I told you?"

"No."

"Exactly Aurora. Why do you think I didn't tell you? You would of gotten pissed off at me like you did this morning. Aurora you overreact and worry way to much. You need to learn how to relax every once in awhile."

"I know Haley, and one of these days I will learn to relax but until then your stuck with the same old me."

"But I love you none the less." Haley sighed. "Just promise me you'll think things over a bit more before you do it."

"I will." Aurora smiled. "So you forgive me for snapping at you this morning?"

"Only if you forgive me for reversing the spell."

"Of course I do." Aurora smiled.

"Then I do too."

"Good." Aurora said, giving Haley a hug.

Aurora looked at the clock as she sat down at the table. "So what did ya cook Haley?"

"Grilled Cheese Sandwiches." Haley replied putting a plate in front of Aurora.

"My favorite." Charisma grinned.

Aurora laughed as Haley sat down. "You like everything our big sister cooks."

"I can't help that she's a brilliant cook." Charisma replied. "So when's dad coming home?"

"An hour ago." Aurora replied, taking a bite of one of the grilled cheese sandwiches on her plate.

"That doesn't make sense." Charisma stated.

"Yes it does." Aurora sighed. "It means he was suppose to be home an hour ago."

"Oh..." Charisma trailed off.

"He's probably just getting work done, because he has the next two weeks off." Haley suggested.

"Lets hope." Aurora mumbled.

The three sisters sat and ate in silence for a while before Aurora asked, "So you guys excited about going to Disney Land with daddy dearest?"

"Of course." Haley smiled. "You won't be there."

"Oh, that hurts. That hurts deeply." Aurora stated, placing her right hand over her chest.

"You know I'm joking around with you." Haley laughed.

"Don't worry. I know." Aurora grinned. "What about you Charisma?"

"I can't wait. It's going to be so cool!"

"Yea, and I can't wait to have the house to myself. Oh I'll be in heaven." Aurora said, before finishing off her supper.

"I thought you hated being home alone." Haley said looking at Aurora. "I thought it creeped you out being in a house alone for a long period of time, because it's to quiet for you."

"True, but a girls gotta get over the things that bug her sooner or later." Aurora smiled.

"I'm done eating, can I go back upstairs?" Charisma questioned.

"Sure sis." Haley smiled at Charisma, as she left the table, and ran out of the room.

"So you going to tell dad?" Aurora questioned.

"Tell dad what?"Haley asked in reply.

"Tell dad about you know..."

"Oh..." Haley trailed off. "I guess I should."

"You going to tell Wyatt?"

Haley was silence for a few minutes. "When the time is right. I'll tell him. It's just... I don't know how to tell him. It's one of those things that you have over a hundred ways to say it play in your head, and you can't decide on one."

Aurora nodded, "Well when you decide to tell him, I can help you out with it. Even if I'm just sitting beside you as moral support."

"I'll remember that offer." Haley smiled, getting up, and clearing the table, bringing everything over to the sink.

"Need help with the dishes Haley?" Aurora questioned.

"Nah, I'm good here. But it'd be nice if you cleaned up the living room." Haley replied.

"Sure." Aurora sighed standing up, and heading towards the living room. She plugged in the vacuum cleaner and was about to start vacuuming when the phone rang. "I got it!" she yelled picking it up. "Hello?"

"Hi is Aurora there?"

"Speaking."

"Hey it's Eric."

"Oh! Hey ,what can I do for you?"

"Well... Kelsey's birthday is coming up and I have no clue what to get her."

"So you thought you'd ask me?"

"Yea, any ideas for me?"

"Hmm... you could get chocolates and roses, but that's kinda cliche. You could get her a necklace she was looking at when me and her were shopping. It's at the jewelry store beside the food court. Gold chain, with a little heart pendent on it. But the thing is it costs about one hundred and fifty dollars, so I don't know if it's what you want to get her."

"Oh, it doesn't matter how much it costs. I just didn't know what she wanted, she's always changing her mind."

"Well she won't change her mind about the necklace, she fell in love with it when she saw it, so don't worry about it."

"Ok, well thank you Aurora."

"No problem Eric. I'll see you on Monday."

"Yea, see ya Monday."

"Bye."

"Bye Eric." Aurora hung up and sighed. Kelsey and Eric made a cute couple, and she was happy for them. With a small smile on her face she picked up the vacuum and started to vacuum, thinking about what she was going to do the next week without her sisters and father around.
