"You so cheated!"Bella said as she and Joey sat on the floor in front of the x-box.
"Its not my fault you don't know how to play,"Joey said between his laughter.
"I had to explain it to you!"Bella exclaimed before picking up the box for the game and speaking to Joey as if speaking to a five year old "okay Joey, this is called a game. You put it in the x-box, do you think you could do that?"
"Okay, now it's getting personal!"Joey said before tickling Bella making her squeal through her laughter.
"KEEP IT DOWN IN THERE!"Prue shouted from the kitchen.
The couple didn't answer, they were too busy holding onto each other while trying to control their laughter.
"I love you!"Bella blurted out, Joey's laughter stopped and he tensed. It suddenly went silent as Bella watched Joey, both confused and nervously. "Joey?"she questioned in a nervous voice.
"I need to leave...it's getting late,"he said as he stood up hastily making Bella fall to the floor. She got up quickly and raced towards the door but Joey had already gone.
"Damn! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Why did you have to go and blow it?"she muttered to herself as she made her way upstairs.

"I thought we had seen the end of this place,"Piper said as she sat at the bar in Quake and Phoebe passed her the drink.
"Yeah, well I needed the money. Bella's birthday is coming up,"Phoebe said and Piper gave her a wierd look.
"It's in two months!"she exclaimed and Phoebe rolled her eyes.
"Well I'm being prepared, it's her sweet 16th. She needs a party!"
"She's going to kill you when she finds out,"Piper said smirking but Phoebe just smirked back before turning towards a familiar friend.
"Hey, Britney! Oh, I love the tattoo!"she said when she caught a glance on the angel on her hand.
"Thanks,"Britney said happily.
"I thought it was illegal to get them done on your hand because of the veins,"Phoebe said as she handed another waitress a drink.
"In the States, yeah. I got it done in Tahiti,"Britney explained as she handed Phoebe some money before putting on her coat "Keep the change, Pheens. I gotta jam."
"Okay,"Phoebe said putting the money in the till.
"Say hi to Max for me,"Piper said as Phoebe was pulled into a premonition. When it ended she looked across the bar and smiled widely.
"Okay, see that poster boy to your right? Just glance, don't be obvious!"she added quickly to Piper.
Piper sighed before doing as she was told and smiled slightly.
"I approve, who is he?"she asked.
"His name is Alec and he's about to come over and ask if he could by me a martini,"she said and Piper expression turned dissaproval.
"Phoebe, you are not supposed to use your powers, we agreed after Andy died."
"No, you three agreed! I had no say and it's not like I can control it,"Phoebe defended and Piper sighed but before she could say anything, Alec turned up next to her smiling widely at Phoebe.
"I was just sitting over there wondering if I could buy you a martini or something,"Alec said and Phoebe smirked at Piper.
"Martini, hmm, imagine that. I would love one. It's Alec, right?"she asked and Piper glared at her while Alec's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yeah, how'd you know my name?"
"Wild guess. Its the end of my shift so do you wanna grab a table?"Phoebe asked grabbing the drinks and heading round the bar.
"Sure,"he said just before Piper grabbed Phoebe's arm.
"Prue is going to be pissed!"she snapped and Phoebe rolled her eyes.
"Stop worrying, you'll get wrinkles."

"Please, Joey. Answer your phone!"she said but sighed when their was no answer. She put her phone on the kitchen counter before turning to the television. She skipped through the channels and smiled when she saw a show about witched. Her smile didn't stay there for long.
"Witched were considered evil only a few centeries ago. One of the accused, Mary Estee, ran for the church to prove she was innocent but was struck by lightning before she got a chance to enter. It was god who had spoken, he did not wish to have the evil witch inside his house"the narrater said and Bella grimaced at the sight on the screen.
"Morning,"Prue said from behind her and Bella jumped, turning around.
"Morning,"she replied and Prue raised her eyebrows at the TV screen.
"What are you watching?"she asked and Bella turned the television off quickly.
"Nothing, just a show"she said innocently making Prue smirk.
"About witches? Are you scared we're going to be burnt at the stake?"she asked but regreated it as soon as Bella flinched, obviously remembering what had happened only months before.
"Its not exactly funny being burnt to death,"Bella said looking down "those women were like us. Their only crime was having a gift."
This kitchen was silent for a while before Prue asked "have fun with Joey last night?"
Bella didn't answer, she walked out of the room and Prue frowned before following.
"Bella? What's happened?"she asked as they got into the livingroom.
"What wrong now?"Piper asked as she and Phoebe walked down the stairs.
"Something happened between Bella and Joey,"Prue said keeping her eyes on Bella and the other two's gazes soon followed.
"Bella?"Phoebe questioned and Bella sighed.
"I told him I loved him,"she admitted and her sisters smiled widely.
"That's great! So what's the problem?"Prue asked and Piper's smile faded in realisation.
"He didn't say it back,"she stated and Prue and Phoebe's smiles disappeared.
"Oh sweety,"Phoebe said but before she could continue Bella changed the subject quickly.
"What time did you end up rolling in?"she asked Phoebe.
"Don't change the subject,"Phoebe said quickly.
"Must have been around three,"Piper said, playing along with Bella who smiled at her gratefully before walking into the conservetry.
"I must be still be in New York time,"Phoebe said and Bella smirked at her.
"Your still in New York time after a year of being here and anyway that would make it later,"she said happy that they weren't talking about her and Joey.
"Or maybe you and Alec..."Piper said trailing off smirking.
"Who's Alec?"Prue asked.
"Some hottie she hit on in the restaurant,"Piper told them and Phoebe shook her head.
"Excuse me, where vision is history, he hit on me. Remember, the premonition,"she said without thinking and regreated it when she saw her sister's expressions.
"Premonition?"Prue asked, her voice dangerously quiet.
"Please tell me you didn't use your powers,"Bella said and Phoebe looked uncomfortable. When Phoebe looked like she wasn't going to say anything Prue and Bella turned to Piper who held her hands up.
"Don't put me in the middle,"she said.
"We're not, you were born in the middle"Bella said and Piper mocked glared.
"We agreed!"Prue snapped and Phoebe sighed.
"No, you three laid down the law and Bella uses her powers behind your backs too!"Phoebe said and Bella's eyes widened but she looked down quickly when Prue turned to her.
"Bella! After everything thats happened to you, you still use your powers asif they're toys!"Prue snarled.
"I know but sometimes i just use my powers without even meaning to. It just happens,"Bella defended and Phoebe cut in before Prue could say anything else.
"It's not her fault, she's the most powerful charmed one. It will take years for her to have full control,"she said giving Bella an apologetic look.
Prue took a few deep breaths before turning back to Phoebe.
"Using our powers can bring demons, which can get us or the people we love killed. If we atleast pretend to be normal, maybe they'll leave us alone"she said as Piper sat down next to Bella.
"Look, it was just a lousy premonition, that's all. Nobody died. Besides, you guys can't control control your powers any better than I can and F.Y.I. nothing happened last night. At least nothing I'm ashamed of,"Phoebe said smugly.
"T.M.I!"Bella said putting her hands over her ears and Phoebe smirked at her.
"There's another reason to be carefull, Leo says women are going missing around this area"Piper said and her sisters frowned.
"What do you mean,"Phoebe asked.
"I mean warlocks aren't the only evil we have to watch out for."

Bella sighed when she looked at the clock on the dashboard in Piper's car. She should have been at school half and hour ago and she knew that she would most likely have detention for being late.
She jumped when she heard the knocks on her window but was relieved when she saw who it was.
"Pastor Williams, you scared me"she said after she rolled down the window.
"Sorry, shouldn't you be at school?"he asked smirking when Bella looked at him innocently "so what are you doing here?"
"Just thinking,"she said and he looked at her curiously.
"About?"
"Mary Estee,"she said and her looked even more confused.
"Who?"he asked frowning.
"It's just a stupid documentary I saw. By the way, is it true that evil beings can't go into a church without being...zapped?"she asked.
"Evil beings? You mean, like what? Vampires?"
"Vampires, no. I was thinking more on the lines of witches,"she said casually.
"Witches, huh? Let me out it to you this way, I sure wouldn't wanna risk it. I gotta go, I'll see you around? Get yourself an education."
Bella nodded before looking up at the church after he left. Athought hit her and she got out of the car, looking up and down the road incase there was someone watching. She walked up the stairs, heading for the door. She hesitated before slowly moving her hand towards the door handle. She nearlly touched it when she heard thunder above her and she ran quickly back to the car.
