Chapter 2
As Poppy stepped into the arrivals lounge, she was greeted with the sight of four girls who had to be her sisters. They obviously hadn't seen her yet because what looked like the youngest two, were in the middle of an argument and by the looks of it, it hadn't been the first of the day; the one who looked like she must be Prue, looked far from happy and she was in the process of lecturing the other two as Poppy got closer.
"Paige, I have told you a thousand times to stop fussing; is it honestly that difficult?"
"Well obviously it is"
"Phoebe, that's enough"
"Prue…" the one who had to be Piper had spotted Paige and was nodding her head in her direction, Prue turned around
"Poppy? Hi sweetie how are you? I'm Prue" said Prue as she hugged Poppy
"Did you have a nice flight?"
"Err yeah it was ok thanks" answered Poppy somewhat uncomfortably.
"Hi Poppy, I'm Piper" another hug and introduction
"This is Phoebe, and Paige" the younger two both smile and while Paige waves, Phoebe gives her another hug
"Hi" greets Poppy
"Well, I'm sure you are exhausted after all that flying, so what do you say we get you home?" says Prue as she takes Poppy's bags from her and starts to lead the way.
"Piper has made so much food to welcome you with Poppy, you'd think we were throwing a party or something" said Paige as she helps Poppy with the rest of her bags
"I wish" replies Phoebe and with that Prue shoots her 'the look' and Poppy realised it was very obvious who's the boss in this household.
A month into Poppy's move and things seemed to be going smoothly, Summer Holidays were now over and it was the end of August, Poppy had settled into Baker high along with her sisters and was a hit with her classmates; apparently being a Halliwell was something of a life saver, having Phoebe as a sister meant that nobody would pick on you, and many of the teachers still remembered and loved both Prue and Piper. Paige was Artistic and popular with many of the sophomores and although Phoebe was only a junior she was friends with a lot of seniors which made Poppy automatically untouchable in their eyes. Poppy at only 13 was a freshman, she was one of the youngest in the grade not having her birthday until the October (just before the cutoff).
At home the girls had hit it off too, Poppy and Paige were sharing a room and both got on fantastically (to the relief of both Prue and Piper who were dreading the possibility of the same arguments that Phoebe and Paige had had when they shared a room). Paige had had her 15th birthday the first week in August a week after Poppy had arrived, and introduced her new younger sister to all her friends.
Phoebe although not often home, had made it very clear she enjoyed having a 'baby sister' who was more than a year younger than her, she had loved taking Poppy around the school on the first day and protectively introduced her to her friends and the most popular people in the school.
Piper had spent the majority of the week attempting to feed Poppy everything she could in an attempt to make sure she was settling in well. And Prue in the meantime, had started by laying down the house rules, complete with Phoebe and Paige's eye rolls, and taken to coming to tuck her sisters in every night - much to Paige's protests and surprisingly (or not so surprising considering she had always loved fuss and hugs) Phoebes joy at the new cuddles she was receiving from her sister. All in all Poppy was settling in well and she was certainly comfortable in her new home.
