A little girl looked at the other little girl who was holding reluctantly onto a big man. Maybe that was her father, the little girl wondered. The teacher approached the girl who had black hair and dark brown eyes. "This, Piper, is Rachael Gregory. She just recently joined us too."

Piper looked down at the girl and looked back up at Leo. She wasn't too sure about this. Rachael, however, took the initiative. She stood up confidently and smiled at Piper. "Hi, you want to play dolls with me?"

Piper held up her hand trying to freeze the girl, but she wouldn't freeze. "What are you doing," Rachael asked looking at her weirdly.

Leo leaned down looking Piper straight in the eyes. "Piper, quit trying to freeze her. You can't because she's like you, so it's okay to play with her."

Piper shook her head then looked at the girl shyly. "Okay," she barely got out. She sat down on the floor next to Rachael, and Rachael handed her a doll.

"I'm four," Rachael looking at Piper as she brushed her dolly's hair.

Piper feeling a little more comfortable spoke up, "I'm three, and I just got here today."

The girls continued playing and talking. Piper looked like she was having fun, so Leo assumed it was safe to leave and go check on the other girls. However, just when he was about to step out of the door, Piper held up her hands and froze him.

She folded her arms and glared at him. "I told him he couldn't leave."

Rachael looked at her amazed. "Did you do that?" She looked at the frozen man amazed and then at their frozen teacher. Piper nodded her head shyly. "That's awesome! Is he your dad or something?"

She shook her head no sadly. Her father had left when she was little. He only came around occasionally. "He's my guide, and I told him not to leave me alone." She walked over and stood in front of him as he unfroze. She had her arms crossed as he almost tripped over her. "Where do you think you're going?"

"Wow," he replied trying not to trip over her. "I was just going to check on your sisters and make sure their doing okay." He didn't know how well she had her powers under control, but it seemed she had almost total control over them. He'd never seen a young witch so in control.

"You promised you wouldn't leave, and why wouldn't my sisters be okay? You said this place was safe." She began rambling about as well as a three old could ramble. Leo couldn't help but smile. She was adorable. "What do you think you're smiling about? You just told me my sisters might not be okay!"

Leo leaned down and held her shoulders lightly. "Piper, breathe." When he watched the little girl relax, he nodded his head and sighed. "Your sisters are fine. I was just going to check to make sure they were adjusting well."

She tilted her head to the side. "What's ad-ad-adhusting mean?"

"Adjusting?" Piper nodded her head curiously. "It means, I'm going to check and make sure they like the school. Why don't you go play with Rachael some more. I'll be back, promise."

She crossed her arms stubbornly and glared up at him. "Do you really promise or is this going to be like your last promise?"

He laughed. "I really promise, okay? Now go have fun."

Piper stood there contemplating her choices for a second before looking over at Rachael and taking off. "He said he'd be back after he checks on my sisters," Piper stated to Rachael matter-of-factly.

"Some of those guys want to play hide-and-seek," said Rachael indicating the said guys behind her. "Want to play?"

Piper looked over and nodded her head. "Yeah, let's play."

Prue stared at the board bored out of her mind. She thought telekinesis class would be fun, but all they were learning is the history of magic right now. Apparently it was important or something. She was five. She didn't care about this stuff. She looked over at the door and was a little relieved to see Leo standing there peaking in. She sat up a little straighter and waved at him. She was happy when Leo waved back.

"And that class, is how magic began! Any questions?"

Prue raised her hand and rolled her eyes. "Why is this important?"

Everyone in the class laughed but then grew silent as the teacher looked sternly at them. "It's important, Prudence, because if we don't know where we come from, we become susceptible to those of darker forces. It helps us understand why we chose good over evil and how we can control our powers."

"Isn't saving people proof enough of why we should choose good," Prue asked boldly. "My Grams always tells us that if we believe in good then we can do and be anything we want." She folded her arms and put her nose in the air.

"Please sit down, Prudence," the teacher reprimanded.

"It's Prue," she snapped back.

"Prudence Halliwell, I will not ask again. Sit down."

Prue rolled her eyes and sat down. She didn't like this teacher at all. Her Grams was better and more knowledgeable than this teacher was. She looked over at Leo who was shaking his head disapprovingly. She had a feeling she'd get a stern talking to from him after class. Just great.

Phoebe was playing with her toys happily and had even made a friend. She looked over at the boy who was playing with his GI-Joe doll. She looked down at her Barbie doll and smiled happily. She glanced up at the door to see Leo there and waved happily.

Leo entered the room and squatted next to Phoebe. "Hey, how are you doing, cutie?" Phoebe clapped her hands and smiled in response. "Good, so you like it here." She tilted her head to the side and grabbed his nose laughing. Leo smiled down at her. She was going to be a handful, he could just tell. He set her down on the next to her Barbie dolls and waved. "Have fun. I'll check on you later."

It was noon when Prue and Piper exited their classrooms. The children of the school crowded the halls making their way to lunch while the girls searched for Leo. He was supposed to be taking them home. They walked around finding each other. Piper attached her hand to Prue's not liking the crowdedness. "Where's Leo," she asked her older sister who was looking around.

"I don't know, but let's go this way." Prue dragged her sister in one directions and opened a door. Piper screamed holding up her hands as a dragon came towards them. The dragon froze as Prue pushed him back and shut the door.

Piper was crying from fear as she huddled by a wall. "Let's just stay here and wait for him, Prue. I don't want to go anywhere."

Leo rushed towards them. He was holding Phoebe in his arms having just picked her up. Noticing Piper was crying, he bent down next to her. "What's wrong?"

"P-Prue opened the door a-a-and a sc-sc-scary m-m-monster came out." She began crying harder as Leo took her in his other arm. "I want Mommy."

"Okay, from now on, you two stay in your assigned classrooms, and I'll come get you." Both girls nodded their heads. Leo instructed Prue to hold onto his leg as he began to orb them home.

After Piper settled down, Patty asked them how their first day was. "My telekinesis teacher is really happy all the time," Prue replied scrunching her nose. "And she's really boring."

"I made a friend. Her name is Rachael," Piper replied excitedly.

Phoebe just clapped and squirmed making happy noises. "Fun!"

"Well, I'm glad you girls had fun," Patty replied hugging all three of her girls tightly. "Just make sure you try to behave, okay?" Piper and Prue nodded their heads snuggling closer to their mother. "Okay, come on girls. It's dinner time."
