Ch. 1: The First Day

"Bout time you showed up!" Phoebe said playfully as Piper entered the kitchen.

Piper moaned lightly as she sat down between Phoebe and Paige at the kitchen table. "I didn't get one wink of sleep last night. I might have to start taking some pills or something."

"Or I could just make you one of our famous Halliwell remedies!" Grams said cheerfully as she placed a plate of toast infront of her grandchildren. Piper and Phoebe each took a piece, but Paige stood from the table with an empty cereal bowl.

Each girls traded looks at the mention of the Halliwell "remedies". They all knew Grams was talking about potions, and the thought of taking another one of Grams potions for any reasons brought chills. It had only been a year ago that the four sisters, Prue being included, had found out that they were the next generation in a long line of powerful witches. It hadn't been the most believable thing to hear, and it was even harder to accept, but they'd all seen Grams use magic since and they'd all grown used to it- mostly.

"Better hurry up and eat girls!" Grams said. "You don't want to be late for your first day!"

"Oh no, wouldn't want that..." Paige mumbled sarcastically as she placed her bowl in the sink. She wasn't as thrilled to be a freshman as Phoebe was to be a sophomore, or Piper to be a senior. Well, actually, Piper didn't really even care.

But this was the first, and only, year that the three youngest Halliwell sisters would all be in high school together at the same time, so they were all somewhat excited about that.

Piper checked her watch: 7:55. "Alright, anyone who wants a ride better be ready in about...now." And she stood up from the table, pulled her bag over her shoulder, and headed for the front door.

Phoebe looked her older sister over as she and Paige grabbed their own bags. "Um, Piper, did you grab the wrong outfit this morning?"

Piper stopped, turned around, looked at her sister, then to her cloths, then to her sister again. "Nope."

"So that's what you're going to where on your first day back?" Phoebe said. "And to your senior year?"

Piper nodded. "I've always dressed like this and I'm not about to change just because it's the first day to my last year in high school." And with that she headed to the door again.

You're just making it harder for me to get you a date to homecoming though, she said silently to her sister. But she just shrugged and ran up to Piper and took her arm with hers in that friendly sister way. Then she stopped, her body feeling overwhelmed. Images started to flash through her head. She saw herself and Piper walking out of the school and over her own shoulder she saw the captain of the football team, Leo Wyatt, looking their way as they talked. Then she was seeing him and a friend talking. "I don't know what it is about Piper that makes me feel so…alive."

Then the images stopped and she was back in the manor living room.

"Phoebe, what happened?" Piper asked.

Phoebe ignored her for a moment. "Grams!"

Grams emerged from the kitchen, looking ready for battle. "What? What happened?"

Phoebe sat down, dizzy. "I…I'm not sure. I touched Piper and I started to see things, in my head. It was all so strange. It was me and Piper and we were wearing the same clothes as we are now and…I don't know."

Grams smiled. "Oh, honey, you got your power!"

Paige looked astounded. "What? Why don't we get powers?"

Grams smiled. "Actually, if Phoebe has her powers then you two should be getting yours pretty soon as well."

Piper shook her head. "Oh, great; like I need anything more to deal with right now!"

Grams smiled. "It's like I've told you. Being a witch is part of who you are!"

Phoebe nodded. "Is it supposed to make you fell like you're gonna hurl?"

Grams laughed. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it. Your power, Phoebe, is premonition; or to see the future."

"So what did you see when you touched me?" Piper asked.

Phoebe looked to her sister and smiled. "You'll find out!" Then she ran out the door. "Come on, we're gonna be late!"

Her two sisters had no time to question her further so they left and were off to high school.
