2. Monday

Piper had just gotten off the bus when she heard her friend Jenny yelling at her. Piper looked up to see her running straight at her.

"Hey you! I haven't seen you all summer!" Jenny said breathlessly.

"I know! It's been so long I've just had so much to do!" Piper said then pulled her best friend of all time into a hug.

"I don't mean to be a downer, but here comes Missy and the rest of them." Jenny turned towards Piper only to see her friend's face fall.

"I seriously don't want to talk to them. Let's just head to homeroom." Piper started to pull Jenny towards the double doors, but she was to late.

"Looks like the freaks still hang out together. It doesn't look like the looks got any better over the summer." Missy sneered and heard a round of laughs and uh-huhs from her friends.

"Hey babe, I got to go to class. I'll see you later. Love You." Leo, Missy's three year boyfriend, said then walked off.

"So I'll catch you two losers later then?" Missy asked then turned around to follow Leo.

"I hate that girl." Piper muttered to no one in particular when her cell phone went off.

"Hello?" Piper answered.

"Hey Piper!" Prue, Piper's older cousin said.

"Prue! How is college treating you?"

"Oh, same old, same old. Nothing new. How are you doing?"

"As good as can be. So why are you calling?"

"Do I need a reason to call my favorite cousin?"

"Yes, Prue, you do, and I am your only cousin."

"Touche, but I'm calling because I'm coming home from college."

"For how long? Why?"

"Let's just say a long time. I'll take to you later. Love you!" Prue hung up her cell.

"That was odd." Piper stated staring at her cell.

"What?" Jenny asked.

"Oh, probably nothing. Prue's coming home. She wouldn't tell me why though."

"Oh. I see. We need to hurry if we are going to get to homeroom on time." Jenny started dragging Piper up the sidewalk.

"Welcome back class. I hope you all had good summers!" Mrs. Sanchez said. It was Piper's fifth class of the day. She had heard the same thing from all her teachers so far.

Piper passed Jenny a note.

'Hey what lunch do you have?'

'First, why?'

'Me too. I just didn't want to be stuck in lunch alone. So what do you think of Wyatt this year?'

'Cool, we have the same lunch. Wyatt is Missy's boyfriend. What do you think I think of him? Why are you asking anyway?'

'Never mind.'

Secretly Piper had had a crush on Leo Wyatt since the beginning of last year. She knew how he big of a jerk he was, but she couldn't help herself.

'You don't control love.' Piper thought.

Lunch

"Hey. Watch where you are going freak." Missy snapped at Piper.

Truth was Missy had purposely tripped Piper, which resulted in food spilling all over her clothes.

"At least Piper can control where her feet go." Jenny retorted.

"Ouch. Was that supposed to hurt?" Missy mocked having her feelings hurt.

"Jenny just leave it." Piper muttered. She didn't want to start something.

"Fine. Come on, I have some clothes in my locker." Jenny helped Piper get to her feet and clean the mess up.

"Thanks Jenny." Piper looked herself over one more time in the bathroom mirror. Although it wasn't really her style, she had to admit she did look kind of good in Jenny's clothes.

She had on a silk camisole with words like beauty and wonder all over it, with a denim mini that had obviously been cut from something longer. The clothes were from Jenny's softer stage.

Piper and Jenny were outside after school sitting on the steps waiting for Jenny's bus to come.

"Hey there it is. I'll see you tomorrow." Jenny shouted over her shoulder as she ran to the bus.

Piper stood up and started walking to her mom's office which was two miles away when someone jumped on her back.

"Aggghhh!" Piper screamed.

"Hey, calm down I didn't get that ugly." Phoebe, Prue's little sister, said coming to stand in front of Piper.

"Phoebe you should warn people when you are going to do that." Piper said still shuddering from shock.

"Hey your mom called me and said that you should come to my house because she is running late." Phoebe stated turning Piper in a different direction.

"How come she called you instead of me?"

"You always turn your cell off after lunch remember. You said you don't like anybody bugging you." Phoebe stated emphatically nodding her head which made her straight brown hair bounce.

"Hey, Pheebs did Prue call you this morning." Piper was staring off in to the distance still wondering about the strange phone call.

"Yeah. She didn't exactly give a reason why she was coming did she?"

"Nope. She…seemed…off." Piper bounced up the stairs to the manor at 1329 Prescott Street.

Phoebe unlocked the door.

"Make yourself comfy. I have to go put stuff up in my room."

Piper went to the living room and sat down. She remembered so much about this place. The girls had grown up together until Prue and Phoebe's mom died. Piper's mom Pam hadn't wanted to stay in the manor anymore. Prue and Phoebe now lived with Grams.

"Hey, Pipes, who you dreaming about now?" Phoebe questioned as she bounced in to a chair beside Piper.

"No one. I'm just remembering all the good times we had together."

"They were so much fun weren't they. Like that time we almost started the house on fire baking cookies."

"Yeah. And Grams got so mad at us she almost popped." Piper and Phoebe both laughed at that.

"And when my mom came home she tried one of the cookies even though we knew they were horrible."

"You asked Prue why and she said 'Because that's what moms do.' You just stood there and looked at her wondering what she meant."

"Hey I was only five, that was confusing to me." Phoebe said pouting.

Just then the door opened and Piper's mom walked in.

"Hi Aunt Pam." Phoebe said waving.

Piper turned around to see her mom walking in the room. She was holding a couple of Piper's biggest suitcases.

"Mom…what are you doing?" Piper asked starting at the bags.

"Your father was in a car accident and they are taking him to a hospital in Nevada. I'm going there with him and you are going to stay here. I brought some of your stuff."

"Okay. Call me when you find something out about Dad." Piper hadn't seen her dad much in the last few years and had sort of grown apart from him.

"I will honey love you. Bye Phoebe." Pam kissed Piper on the cheek, waved to Phoebe, and headed out the door.

"Phoebe did you know about this?" Piper said semi-glaring at Phoebe.

"No way. I'm so sorry Piper."

"Don't be. I don't really know him anymore."

"He's your dad though. I would kill to know my dad. You are so lucky even if he is gone a lot."

"Your right Phoebe. I never looked at it from your point of view. Should I stay in my old room?" Piper asked heading up the stairs.

"Yeah. I'll get your other suitcase."

:I think I'll leave it there for now. Who should I add; Cole/Jason and Bane/Andy. Should I have Paige or not, and should there be magic?
