Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from Charmed. But I do own Aurora, Haley, Charisma, and any other characters you don't recognize.

Aurora looked out the window, it was already Sunday afternoon, her weekend had just flew by. Her sisters and father were going to be leaving in the morning. Sighing she stood up and stretched, it was going to be a long week without them around.

"Aurora can I talk to you?" She heard her father yell up the stairs.

"Yea dad! One sec!" Aurora yelled back, leaving her room. Walking down the stairs she asked, "What do you wanna talk about?"

"I just wanted to tell you to pack some stuff up, 'cause you'll be staying at Piper's place for the week."

"Can't I just stay here?" Aurora questioned.

"I'd let you, but it's a week, and you'd probably starve, since your cooking abilities are as good as mine." Donald commented.

"Good point, but are you sure me staying at Piper's place is such a good idea? Considering I'm going out with one of her sons."

"Well I just you not to do something stupid. And plus, it's not like you'll be sharing a room with him." Donald stated. "Now go upstairs and pack up your stuff, I'm going to be dropping you off there, before we go to the airport in the morning."

"Doesn't that mean I have to be up around six?"

"Yes it does."

Aurora groaned, "You're kidding me right? Six in the morning is way to early for me."

"So you weren't planning on saying goodbye to me and your sisters in the morning before we left?"

"No, I was planning on saying goodbye to you guys tonight, before I went to bed." Aurora replied, she turned to go back upstairs and pack up some stuff for the week, but stopped and turned around, "Are we still going out for dinner tonight?"

"Of course."

"Kay." Aurora smiled heading back to her room. Once inside she closed the door and pulled a duffel bag out from under her bed, on her way to her dresser she picked up the cordless that was sitting beside her computer.

Dialing a familiar phone number she waited for someone to pick up as she dug through her dresser for clothes to pack. "Hello?"

"Hey Wyatt, it's Aurora. Can I talk to Chris?"

"Sure just a minute."

Aurora walked over to the duffle bag and threw some of her clothes into it, while she waited for Chris. "Hello?"

"Hey Chris."

"I was going to call you."

"Great minds think alike." Aurora laughed.

"Yes they do. So what are you up to?"

"I'm packing. What about you?"

"Why are you packing?"

"Well by the sounds of it I will be spending the week at your place while my family is in Disney Land."

"Really?"

"Yuppers."

"Huh, that'll be interesting."

"Yes it will. But I just thought I'd call and tell you that. I'll see ya in the morning."

"Sounds good. Talk to you later. Bye."

"Bye." Aurora sighed hanging up and looking at the duffel bag. It was going to take her forever to pack.

"And three hours later Aurora decides to grace us with her presence." Haley joked from where she was standing by the door.

"Well I'm sorry that it takes me forever to pack." Aurora replied.

"Whatever you say sis." Haley smiled.

"The three of you ready to go out for dinner?" Donald questioned walking into the room.

"Yup." Aurora, Haley, and Charisma replied in unison.

"So where are we going exactly?" Aurora questioned.

"The Italian restaurant that just opened." Donald replied, following his family out of the house, locking and closing the door behind him.

"I heard that the food was good there." Haley mused. "I've been dying to see if what people have told me is true."

"Glad that you're excited to be going." Donald laughed.

"Oh, can I drive?" Haley questioned.

"Sure." Donald sighed. He handed the keys over to Haley and walked over to the passenger side.

The four got into the car and had a silent ride to the restaurant. Once Haley parked the car they all got out and walked up to the front doors. "You sure you want to eat here?" Aurora questioned. "It looks kinda fancy from out here."

"Come on Aurora, you can't tell me you're scared of something fancy." Haley laughed.

Aurora stuck her tongue out at Haley, "Leave me alone."

"Mature sis. Very mature." Haley grinned.

"Would the two of you stop it." Donald sighed walking in, his daughters following him. "Hi, we have a reservation for four, under the name Cantora."

The hostess looked down at a list. "Right this way sir." she smiled.

Aurora snorted as they were shown to their table, 'These people are way to polite.' she thought to herself.

"The waiter will be right with you." the hostess said, putting a menu in front of each of them.

The four of them sat in silence, before and after they got their food, and Aurora found it unsettling in a way. "Tomorrow this time the three of you will be in Disney Land partying." Aurora mused.

"Yup." Haley smiled. "And this time tomorrow you'll be doing homework."

"Don't need to rub it in Haley.' Aurora replied.

"Sorry." Haley sighed. "At least you won't be at home alone."

"Yea. But I have to be up at like six in the morning. That's supreme torture on its own." Aurora complained.

"Aww, poor baby." Haley laughed. "I'll bring you back something nice from Disney Land to make it all better."

"You better." Aurora muttered. "I want something nice. I also want lots of autographs."

"Come on Aurora get up." Aurora heard Haley's voice whisper in her ear.

"Another hour please." Aurora mumbled in response.

"Hun I wish I could give you another hour but we gotta get going pretty quick." Haley sighed.

Aurora groaned, "Don't remind me."

Haley shook her head knowing her sister wasn't planning on getting up anytime soon. "Get up." Haley said pulling Aurora's blanket off of her, and throwing it on the floor.

"That was cruel." Aurora mumbled curling into a ball.

"Aurora don't make me say it again." Haley threatened.

"Let me sleep." Aurora yawned.

"No. Get. Up. Now." Haley said punctuating each word.

"No." Aurora mumbled.

"Fine." Haley muttered leaving the room.

Aurora couldn't help but smile, she had won that battle, and now she could finally get back to sleep. But as the world of sleep finally consumed her, she was hit by ice cold water. Aurora jumped out of bed and glared at Haley, "Why the hell did you do that?" she growled.

"I had to get you up some how." Haley laughed. "Now go have your shower and get dressed, we're leaving in a half hour."

"That was an evil, evil thing to do Haley." Aurora mumbled as she pulled clothes out of drawers to wear.

"And I'm sorry that I had to do that. But I don't think you would of woken up otherwise." Haley sighed.

Aurora mumbled some incoherent words, before leaving the room, and walking into the bathroom. Haley laughed to herself before leaving Aurora's room and walking into Charisma's. "Charisma, time to get up. We got to get going soon."

"Is breakfast ready?" Charisma asked as she sat up and stretched.

"Yea." Haley smiled.

"What are we having?"

"Chocolate chip pancakes." Haley replied, "So get changed fast and come downstairs."

"Kay." Charisma said as Haley disappeared out the door.

Haley walked down the stairs and smiled at her dad. "Your sisters up?" Donald asked her.

"Yea. Aurora's having a shower, and Charisma's changing. Breakfast is ready by the way." Haley stated.

"Oh. Ok. I'll just finish loading the stuff into the car, and then I'll be in the kitchen, to eat." Donald smiled.

"You better, or you'll be the one washing the dishes." Haley jokingly threatened as her dad disappeared out the door with two bags. Haley sighed and walked into the kitchen, it was going to be a long week not knowing what Aurora was up to. She had always known what Aurora was up to, after their mother had died, Haley had taken over that role in both Aurora, and Charisma's lives. Going a week without knowing what exactly Aurora was up to was going to be weird for Haley.

"Hal? Haley! Hello! Haley!" Haley snapped out of her thoughts to see Aurora standing in front of her.

"What?" Haley questioned.

"You were in a trance or something. I've been saying your name for the past five minutes." Aurora laughed.

"You're out of the shower already?" Haley asked.

"I beat my record. Took me five minutes, and I even blow dried my hair." Aurora grinned.

"Aurora, something's not right in that head of yours." Haley stated shaking her head.

"I think you've told me that before."

"I wouldn't doubt it." Haley sighed. "So is Charisma still in her room?"

"No, she's helping dad with the stuff in the car." Aurora yawned. "Now where's my breakfast?"

"It's coming." Haley replied as she grabbed a plate for Aurora, and put some pancakes on it.

"Oh, so you're playing miss waitress this morning?" Aurora questioned sitting down.

"When am I not your waitress?" Haley asked putting the plate in front of Aurora.

"Um..."

"Exactly you can't answer me can you?" Haley laughed.

"Guess not." Aurora replied stuffing her face.

"Wow sis, that's really attractive."

"I know."

"Aurora don't talk with your mouth full." Donald said as he entered the kitchen with Charisma.

Aurora swallowed the food and said, "Sorry dad."

Silence filled the room as they all finished their breakfast. As Haley started to clear the table Aurora said., "Hal, I got it."

"You sure Aurora?"

"Positive." Aurora smiled.

Aurora quickly cleared the table and washed the dishes, Charisma taking it upon herself to dry them and put away what she could. When the two had finished Donald said, "We should probably get going you guys."

Aurora looked at her father, "Does Piper know I'm coming this early?"

"Yes she does." Donald replied.

"And she's fine with me being there this early?"

"She was perfectly fine with it." Donald laughed.

"If you say so." Aurora sighed heading for the door, picking up her messenger bag on the way. Once everyone was in the car, and Donald had pulled down the driveway Aurora said, "You know I could of walked there."

"I know that." Donald said. "But it's early and I thought I'd give you a ride there."

"That was thoughtful." Aurora sighed as they came to a stop in front of the house. Aurora smiled at her siblings, "Guess this is see ya until Saturday."

"I'll be calling later tonight." Haley smiled, as Aurora got out of the car.

"And I'll be looking forward to that call, I'm sure Wyatt will be too." Aurora said returning the smile. "Now are you guys going to get out of the car and give me a hug?"

Haley and Charisma looked at each other and got out of the car, both giving Aurora a bear hug, as their father got out of the car and went around to the trunk to pull out Aurora's duffel bag.

"Stay out of trouble Aurora." Haley said as she stepped back.

"I'll try, but you know how trouble follows me around." Aurora laughed before looking down at Charisma. "Charisma you keep an eye on Haley and dad. Make sure they don't spend to much money on ya."

"Kay." Charisma smiled. "Don't have to much fun without me."

"I'll try not to." Aurora replied.

Donald gave Aurora a hug as he put her duffle bag down beside her. "Listen to Piper and Leo, ok? If I hear you weren't listening I'm going to ground you. Understand?"

"I understand dad. Now you guys better get going. You don't want to miss your flight."

Donald nodded, as he walked back over to the car and got it. "Bye Aurora." Charisma and Haley said in unison before giving their sister another hug.

"Bye you guys. I'll miss you." Aurora replied as they got into the car.

Not wanting to watch them drive away Aurora turned and picked up her duffel bag, her messenger bag already draped across her shoulder. With a sigh she walked up to the door, and knocked.. A few moments later the door opened to reveal Piper standing there with a smile. "Good morning Aurora. Come on in."

Aurora smiled at Piper, "Thanks for letting me stay here while my family's gone. I really appreciate not being stuck in a house alone for almost a week."

"It's no problem." Piper replied closing the door behind Aurora as she walked in. "You'll be sharing a room with Melinda, there's already an extra bed in there, from when Phoebe was still living here. We had to do a lot of doubling up in the kids rooms."

Aurora nodded, "I bet, you guys have a pretty big family."

Piper laughed, as she led Aurora up to Melinda's room. "Melinda's still asleep so you can just put your stuff down, and make yourself at home. I'll be driving you guys to school around eight."

"Sounds good." Aurora smiled dropping her bags down inside the room, and walking into the hallway to talk with Piper. "So what time does everyone get up around here?"

"Well, Leo and myself tend to be up early. Melinda and Wyatt tend to be up around seven, and Chris...well...Chris is always up at the last minute."

"Sounds like me." Aurora grinned. "I was forced out of bed this morning by a cup of ice cold water.

Piper shook her head, "Why sleep in when you have the day ahead of you?"

"'Cause sleep is good." Aurora laughed.

After a few seconds Piper asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Yea, Haley made chocolate chip pancakes this morning." Aurora replied. "Man, I'm going to miss her cooking."

"Why she's a good cook?" Piper questioned as they walked down the stairs.

"One of the best." Aurora smiled. "Don't know what me and my dad would do without her, the two of us can't cook a single thing. I'm quite glad she picked up cooking skills from my mom. I'm only hoping Charisma picks up some cooking abilities from Haley."

"If you want I can teach you some tricks in the cooking department." Piper offered.

"Sure. If you're not scared of me burning down you're beautiful house."

"Oh, come on you can't be that bad."

"You'd be surprised."

"Tonight I'll give you your first lesson. Ok?"

"Sounds good to me." Aurora smiled, as Piper disappeared into the kitchen.

Spending a week with her boyfriend's family would definitely be interesting. If the two of them were still at the 'friends' status maybe she wouldn't feel so awkward. Oh well, Aurora knew she had to get over it, and look at the bright side. She was going to get to know the Halliwell's better, and she was going to have fun here, after all Melinda was going to be around, and Piper was an awesome person to be around. Aurora was sure Piper was one of those mothers who had her children's friends saying "Your mom's the coolest." But then again Phoebe and Paige were the same way.

Aurora felt somewhat jealous, the way the family got along was amazing. At her grandmother and mother's funerals all there had been was bickering between the relatives, and then she'd never seen them again. Shaking her head Aurora walked into the kitchen and smiled at Piper, "Do you guys have any orange juice?"

"Yea, there should be a jug of it in the fridge somewhere. Glasses are in the top cupboard beside the fridge."

"Thanks Piper."

"No problem."
