She stood out of her chair making sure her dress covered her braces. Chad wrapped his arms around Nancy's waist, and she asked someone to hold her crutches for her. The photographer brought in two chairs. Paul, and Jordan sat down, and Jill and Susan sat in their laps. He then brought out a tall box, placing it directly behind Chad, and Nancy, and had Prue stand on it. He brought out two more boxes, placing them behind Prue, and had Jack stand on it. He was little taller then Prue, but was still able to put his arms around her.
He had Piper and Dan stand on their right side, and Phoebe and Owen on their left. Nancy felt so loved. She was surrounded, literally, by everyone that she cared about, and everyone that cared about her.
After the prom, Prue and Jack, Piper and Dan, and Phoebe and Owen joined the others in the limo. They went out for an early breakfast, then they went to the park to watch the sun come up.
The limo driver dropped everyone at the Manor at around 7:00 in the morning. Everyone was too tired to drive home. So, they broke out blankets and pillows, and let everyone sleep on the floor in the living room.
The girls gave the other girls some pajamas to wear and gave the guys some shorts and t-shirts to sleep in. They had the best time.
At 11:00 a.m., Nancy woke up before anyone else. She went into the kitchen and made some coffee and juice for everyone. The smell of fresh brewed coffee woke the girls. They went into the kitchen and drank coffee and sat and talked about everything that happened that night.
"So, you really didn't mind us tagging along last night?"
Prue asked.
"No, not at all. All my friends love you guys. They think you are really cool."
She paused for a minute and then said,
"And, you know what? So do I."
"You know, we three were talking last night and everyone had such a good time. What would you think if one Saturday out of the month, I closed the club to adults and made a teen-only night?"
"Are you serious?"
"Sure. I already have the permits. All I have to do is extend them. I can get just as much business selling sodas and chips to kids as I do selling booze to adults."
"Piper, that would be awesome."
"You sang really well last night. I didn't even know you knew how."
Phoebe said.
"I got that from Mom. She loved to sing. She taught me, during all that time I wasn't going to school, we would spend time singing. And when we were moving around a lot, Mom used to make extra money singing in bars."
Nancy went to the counter and got some more coffee for the girls. As she was pouring the coffee she said,
"You know, the band Kid Power was talking to me before we left last night and they asked me to join."
"What did you say?"
"That I would think about it. Besides, I wanted to talk to you guys about it."
"Well, I'll agree to it under one condition."
Piper said.
"What's that?"
"That on the Saturdays I have the club open for kids, Kid Power performs. I'll give them free sodas all night. And on a good night, I'll even pay them."
"Well, I'll have to talk to them about it. But you think I should?"
"Why not?"
"I don't' know, I figured my summer was going to be pretty busy already…"
"I'll bet by the end of the summer, you are out of that chair and almost ready to walk without the braces..."
"WOW! One step at a time Mom. I have a long way to go between now and then."
"Well, you've already done the hard part. You didn't give up."
"How could I? You guys got me so mad. The anger was so built up inside me that I had to do something with it."
"Well, keep getting mad at us if you have to, just don't slap me again."
Phoebe said.
"She's a lot stronger than she looks."
She said turning to her sisters, who laughed out loud as Phoebe rubbed her cheek. At almost noon, everyone else woke up. They drank their coffee and juice, before each of them headed home to change their cloths before heading back to the club to take care of the much needed clean-up.
Since all the girls had driven to the club the night before in Piper's Jeep, they took Prue's car to the club. Piper took inventory of all the liquor and was thankful nothing was missing. She was glad the night was such a success and looked forward to next month when she would be able to do it again.
Nancy joined the band and went to therapy everyday. The pain was still great, but Phoebe told her when she got really, really mad, to take it out on Slam Man. She taught her how to throw punches and everything. Nancy had a lot of anger built up in her that she didn't even know was there, but at least now, she had a way to bring it out.
