Piper POV

The next week went by in a blur. My birthday was coming up, and I was turning seventeen. 'Seventeen was my lucky number', I told everyone who would listen. And it was. This birthday was the best one ever.

Have you ever noticed that there is a difference between what you tell people you want, and what you really want? For example, I told Leo that I wanted a charm bracelet. But deep inside, I wanted… a car. There! I said it! One just like Leo's, but maybe a different color so we could tell the difference.

No one would get that for me, of course. Unless my parents came through… But they aren't ever home. So I'm not getting my hopes up.

Anyways, it was the night before my birthday. I had decided to only invite my friends, just a simple party as always. I had just kissed Leo goodnight, expecting nothing out of the ordinary to happen tomorrow. But, as always, things didn't exactly go as planned.

(Page Break)

I woke up in a different room. Or, what I thought was a different room. The once-green walls were now covered in pink streamers, posters that said Happy Birthday. About two seconds later, I heard a shout from next door. It was Katie, leaning out her window. She and I had rooms right across from each other, so we could talk easily.

"Mornin' Piper! Since it's your birthday, Leo and I are inviting you for breakfast at our place! And by 'inviting', I mean get your butt over here!"

I have such nice friends, I thought sarcastically. Throwing on a pair of skinny jeans and a teal t-shirt, I brushed my hair and braided it down the side. It's just breakfast. No need to get all fancy. (My mom would think otherwise.)

As soon as I walked in their door, Katie shooed me out again and slammed the door in my face. Oohhkaay… I thought. That was a nice greeting. A few seconds later she reopened the door a few inches and said, "Sorry! We're not ready yet. Luv ya!" Then re-slammed the door.

I stood there, tapping my foot and staring at a tree nearby. I half expected Connor to pop out, laughing his head off about some prank he played on the neighbors.

After what seemed like forever, the door opened. It was Katie, dressed in a fancy blouse and pencil skirt, her hair up in a bun.

"Welcome to… uh… LEO! WHAT ARE WE CALLING THIS?"

" Uh… I don't know! Make something up!"

"Welcome to… Baloney Birthdays! No, wait! That sounds horrible! Uh-"

"I get the idea!" I said impatiently. What can I say? I was starving!

"Follow me to your seat!" she said, grabbing my arm and dragging me towards the dining room table.

"I thought that hostesses were supposed to be nice!" I complained, rubbing my arm when she let go. She just shoved me into a seat. Then she ran off towards the kitchen. I crossed my arms and stared at the ceiling, wondering when the food was going to be brought to me.

BANG! Startled, I looked up to see Leo standing there with a towel wrapped around his waist like an apron. He was holding a notebook andpen, and a piece of paper which he set down in front of me. Across the front it said Menu in his 'neat' handwriting. (By neat, I mean barely legible.) I opened it to find a big word written across it: PANCAKES

"Uh, I guess I'll take the pancakes. Got any bacon?"

He grinned. "Weeell… usually we don't, because someone-" He stared at me pointedly "-keeps eating it all. But since this is a special case, we do."

I leaned back in the chair and crossed my legs. "Great. But I do have one question…"

He raised an eyebrow.

"Is that dead porcupine supposed to be your hair? I mean, I know you suffer from balding disorder and everything, but you could do better."

He narrowed his eyes. "Oh, you did not just go there."

"Oh, yes I did."

He just scoffed and stalked into the kitchen, tripping on his way.

"Smooth," I called after him.

After he came back with the pancakes, all three of us just sat down and chatted. It was a good birthday breakfast in the end.

(A/N: In the backround, Piper trips Leo and Katie dumps the syrup on his head. He storms off to his room while the girls just laugh histerically.)

The birthday is going to continue. Don't you worry your little heads.

Your just going to have to wait until I update again, which will probably be soon.
