"Hey there, Paige!" Phoebe said, throwing herself down on the couch next to Paige. "What's up?"
Paige lowered the magazine she had been reading. "Nothing. Just reading Vogue." She lifted the magazine back up. Phoebe pulled back down.
"Yes?" Paige asked.
"So?"
"So what?"
"How was Leo?"
"Strong, blonde, male."
"Yeah, I know that part. When is he coming back? I don't want to be at the dentist or something…"
"Mm-hmm." Paige said, turning to the fashion forecast section.
"You're not even
listening to me!"
"Nope."
"Paige!"
"Yep?"
"Why aren't you listening to me?"
Paige set the magazine down on her lap. "Because I am totally about to tell you something that is going to make you love me forever."
"Yeah?" Phoebe asked, eagerly, leaning in close. "Was he wearing tight jeans?"
"No, Phoebe! I invited him to meet us all at Quake tonight at seven."
"You did? You are the best little sister ever!" Phoebe gave Paige a tight squeeze and hopped off the couch. "I'm going to go get ready!"
Paige looked at her watch. "It's three o'clock, Phoebe. It does not take anyone in their right mind four hours to get ready. Even you."
"Ah, but as soon as Piper finds out, you know she is going to want the bathroom, and I am going to beat her to it. See ya, sister!" Phoebe skipped, out of the room, elated.
The front door slammed. "Hi, Paige!" shouted Prue. "Piper and I are home."
"Hi," Paige echoed. "You guys free tonight?"
"Yeah," Piper said, "Why?"
"Tonight, seven, Quake, Leo. Need I say more?"
Piper ran into the room, throwing her arms around Paige while Prue watched from the doorway. "Oh, you are so great!"
"Yeah, yeah," Paige beamed. "Go get ready."
"At three?" Piper asked in surprise.
"Well, Phoebe already beat you to the bathroom…"
"Damn! Thanks, Paigie!" She ran up the stairs to fight Phoebe for the mirror, allowing Prue to take her former spot by Paige.
"Are you trying to start trouble, little sister?" Prue asked.
Paige shrugged. "They'll figure it out."
"But will there be a house left when they're done?"
Paige laughed. "Just look at it as free cable TV."
