Patty looked at her two eldest daughters. "What's the matter with you two? You haven't said a word since you got home." They kept silent. Phoebe shrugged when her mother's look rested on her. Paige wasn't even paying attention, she was just smiling dreamily. "Paige, is everything alright?" "Uh huh" She answered, distracted. Phoebe grinned. Patty sighed, what was wrong with them? "If nobody will tell me what is going on, that's fine, but you won't leave the table either. "That's not fair! I didn't do anything." Phoebe objected. "That's a first." Piper bit back. "Piper! I will not tolerate such remarks in this house. Now what on earth is going on here?" Prue shot a tell-her-and-you're-dead-look at Piper. Her sister ignored that however. "Well, mom if you do want to know." Prue dropped her fork. She couldn't believe Piper would do that.

"Prue asked Mary to replace her at a party Friday with the band, because we were at dad's, and she did. And then her FRIEND Tom kissed her. Of course, to Tom, like all of Prue's friends, kissing doesn't mean anything. And now I have a best friend with a heartache." Prue couldn't just say nothing. "Not all my friends think that and come on, everyone knows about Tom's reputation. It's not my fault you guys still think you're in elementary school." "That's not true and you know it." "At least I didn't freeze the entire hallway!" Piper gasped. "Enough!" Patty rose from her seat. "You will not leave your rooms until I figure out what I should with you two." Prue opened her mouth but didn't get the chance to speak. "And no buts! Now get out of my sight, all of you!" The girls, surprised by their mother's temper, left the table. "You couldn't just shut your mouth now could you." Prue hissed to Piper. "Prue!"

"Paige is in luve." Phoebe giggled as they entered their room. Paige didn't even react. "Wow, this guy must be special." Her sister didn't react, she just kept smiling. "Hellooo! Paige! Waky waky." Paige rolled her eyes, but couldn't suppress her smile. "There's this new boy in our class and his name is Glen." "And is he cute!" "Well duh." Phoebe grinned and therefore got pushed of Paige's bed. "So, are you going to ask him to be your boyfriend." "Don't mock me!" Paige put out her tongue. "I'm not mocking you, I'm just interested. You've never had a boyfriend before." "He's not my boyfriend!" "But you want him to be." Phoebe teased. "Pheebs!" Phoebe just shrugged and started dancing around the bed. "Paige has got a boyfriend, Paige has got a boyfriend." Sometimes being childisch could be fun...

"Piper? Can I come in?" Patricia had calmed herself down before talking to her daughters. She wouldn't accomplish anything with anger, she knew that very well. "Yeah." Piper's voice sounded weak. Patty found her daughter lying on her bed, reading a book. "I'm sorry mom." Patty nodded as she sat down on the bed and slid her fingers through Piper's hair. "It's okay." She sighed. "Honey, you have to know that not all boys are like the movies show." "I know that." The answer was." "And sometimes it just doesn't work out the way you thought it would. Mary will get over it, and so will you. Lord knows I'm not very happy that Prue let Mary replace her, but she didn't mean to do bad by it, and you know that as well." Piper was still not facing her, but nodded. "What worries me, is you using your powers in public. You're lucky Grams didn't hear about that, or you'd be in serious trouble." "I know, I'm sorry about that too." "Hey, she'll get over it." Patty repeated herself. "Now do I get a hug?" Piper turned around and smiled.

"I'm in trouble." "Why?" Andy asked at the other side of the line. "Piper told mom about Tom and Mary." "So?" "So? Mary's like, the fifth sister." "Grounded?" Prue sighed. "I hope not, it's not my fault, now is it?" "See, you have nothing to worry about." Andy clearly didn't understand the problem. "I'm gonna go now. See you." "Bye my lady." Prue grinned and put down the phone. "Andy?" Prue turned around, startled. "Mom, hi, I hadn't heard you come in." Her mother smiled. "Don't worry, I haven't been here long." Prue smiled. "I'm sorry, but I really don't think it is my fault." Patty frowned. "Okay, so maybe a little, but I mean, I don't controll my friends." "I know you don't, but just, next time you can't perform, let someone of your own age do it." "I don't have any friends that can sing like Mary does." "Then they'll just have to do without a singer. Prue, Mary was way to young to go to that party." Prue nodded. "I'm not grounding you, but next time, think twice all right?" "Yes mom." "You're incredibly lucky Grams isn't home." Prue looked at the floor and nodded. Phoebe and Paige were making a lot of noise today, Patty noticed it too. "I think I'm going to look what those two are up to." She told her eldest daughter and dissappeared...
