It was six o' clock in San Francisco. Half of the inhabitants were already awake. Wyatt, Chris and Melinda Halliwell were not part of those people. All three of them were still lying in their comfortable beds. Until…
"Wyatt! Chris! Melinda!"
Wyatt fell out of his bed, taking a girl with him. Chris pulled his cheats over his head. And Melinda jumped right out of bed and ran downstairs.
She entered the kitchen were her mother Piper had sat the table and was now making coffee. She turned around and saw Melinda, who seemed to be wide awake.
"Good morning, honey. How was your night?" Piper asked, while pouring boiled water in the coffee machine.
"Yeah, great" Melinda answered. "It's really amazing how peaceful your night can be when you're not doing anything other than sleeping, isn't it, Wyatt?"
Wyatt had just entered the kitchen and shot his sister and mother a quasi-innocent look. "Huh? What? Sorry, I'm not exactly awake yet"
Piper turned around again to grab the peanut butter, something that could not be missed on this breakfast table. While Piper turned around, Wyatt took advantage of the situation and grabbed Melinda's arm.
He pinned his glance in her eyes and threaded softly: "If you tell mom anything about my night, I'll tell the whole school you have a crush on Dean"
Melinda curled her nose and retched. "My God, he's like the biggest nerd in San Francisco. Well, no, actually that would be Chris-"
"Prudence Melinda Halliwell!" Piper snappily interrupted her. "Don't let me hear you say anything like that again. He's your brother"
Melinda rolled her eyes. "Come on, mom, the guy weighs 330 pounds, has no social life and happens to be my brother. Life is so not fair"
"Melinda, stop being such a drama queen and pass me the marmalade" Wyatt requested. Melinda handed him the marmalade. While he lubricated his slice of bread, Piper went upstairs to get Chris.
He was still lying in his bed, when Piper pulled the cheats away. Chris groaned and looked up at his mother.
"Time to get up, sloth" Piper harshly said. Chris stumbled out of bed and walked out of his room and Piper followed him.
"Finally awake, are you?" Melinda said when Chris sank down on a chair. He grabbed a slice of bread and lubricated it with peanut butter. "Nervous?"
Chris looked up and frowned. "Nervous? Why?"
"Because we're getting or exam results" Melinda answered. Chris shook his head. "Off course not, when you don't have a life, you have lots of times to study" Melinda sarcastically continued.
Piper shot her a warning glance to make her shut up.
"Okay, I'm going to get ready" Melinda said and she got up of her chair. Wyatt's eyes widened and he got up, too. Melinda saw him aiming for the bathroom and started running.
"No way, I'm going first!" Wyatt yelled.
"Eh eh, ladies first!" Melinda shouted back. She reached the bathroom, opened the door, entered the room and locked the door. Wyatt hit the door with his hand and used a verbiage from which Piper didn't know he knew the words.
"Wyatt!" she snapped. Wyatt lifted up his hand in an apologizing way. "Sorry" he mumbled. He walked back to the kitchen and sank down on his chair. Chris was eating his fourth sandwich.
"You really shouldn't eat so much, Perry" Wyatt said with a look at Chris. Chris didn't listen. "I mean it, Chris, you're acting like you haven't eaten in days. Don't you want some friends?"
Chris shrugged. What did he care?
"Because you won't make them by being such a wolverine" Wyatt finished.
"Are you finished?" Chris asked.
"Yeah" Wyatt answered.
"Good"
