"Hey Piper, can I borrow a hundred bucks?" Phoebe asked and followed Piper into the living room.
"What for?" Piper asked and sat down on the sofa.
"Well, I have a job interview tomorrow and I want to look sophisticated" Phoebe smiled.
"All right, I guess. What kind of job?" Piper asked as she shut the TV off.
"It's a�"
"Hey" Prue interrupted Phoebe as she entered the room.
"How was your day?" Piper asked.
"Eh� long. Too long" Prue said and looked at her sisters.
"Phoebes was just telling me about a job interview she has tomorrow" Piper announced.
"Really?" Prue asked in a tone of disbelief and looked at Phoebe with a look of wonder.
"Yep. I'm going to be an assistant to a psychologist. It's not big but at least I'll earn my own money".
"That sounds great� but what's with the sudden urge to work?" Prue asked.
"Hey! Don't think so little of me, I don't want to live off my sisters my whole life".
"I didn't mean it to sound like that, you know it's okay, right?"
"Yes. However, lately I have been feeling like I'm not contributing anything. At least not my share square" Phoebe said and looked at Prue.
Prue looked at Piper, hinting her to say something with her eyes.
"That's not true Phoebes" Piper said and looked at her.
"Anyway, I am going to try and get that job, so can I please have the money I asked you for?" Phoebe said, standing up and looked at Piper.
"Yeah, sure" Piper said and stood up.
"I'm whipped, I'm gonna head straight to bed" Prue said and walked out of the living room.
She walked upstairs and into her bedroom.
"So, Piper, you think I should go for the classy career type or the intelligent yet fun type?" Phoebe's voice sounded from the other side of the corridor.
Prue smiled and shut the door to her bedroom.
She placed her bag down on the floor and lay on her bed. She took out a small key from under her pillow and opened a locked drawer in her dresser, taking out a small book and a pen out of it and closing the dresser.
Tuesday, 13th of October
I had such a long day.
I hope Phoebe doesn't think that I'm mad at her or pushing her.
I feel so tired.
I wish I could just relax and I mean truly relax, just go and act completely�
Prue stopped writing. She knew if she would have written it then it would be admitting it to herself.
I wish Malloy would choke. He kept asking me to run his stupid errands and to show his stupid brother around town. For some reason he thinks that just cause he's my boss he can act like I'm his slave. Idiot. His brother is probably some annoying guy. I think his name is Derek or something. Whatever.
At least, the brightest thing of the day is that no Demons attacked us. Yet.
Ha! Just my luck. I probably spoke too soon.
Ah, I feel so uptight. Anyways, I better get some sleep.
Prue placed the diary back into the drawer and locked it.
"Hi" Piper said as she bumped into Prue as she walked out of her bedroom.
"Morning" Prue said holding a comb in her right hand.
"Good morning" Phoebe said and smiled.
Prue and Piper scanned her from head to toe.
"What do you think?" she asked, holding her hands up in pride.
"Different" Piper said. "Definitely" Prue added.
"Not me?" Phoebe asked in a disappointed tone.
"You look beautiful phoebes" Prue said decisively and walked away.
Phoebe smiled. "You definitely got the look you went for" Piper said.
"Yeah well, it all suits well when the face is this swell" Phoebe smiled.
"A little too much rhyming for you�" Piper said.
"What are you doing today?" Phoebe asked and sat down; reaching out towards the cereal box.
"I have a photo shoot in about an hour" Prue said, "here" she said and handed Phoebe the milk carton.
"Thanks. I need a favor though" Phoebe said.
"What?" Prue asked, sipping from her coffee.
"I need you to pick me up from the interview please. Around 12:30 I think".
Prue looked at her; thinking. "Ah, well I think I'll wrap up there till then, so OK".
"Thanks, I love you" Phoebe said and hugged Prue.
"Yeah, yeah, that's all you need me for" Prue said quietly.
Phoebe smiled and brought a spoon filled with cereals towards her mouth.
Suddenly, a ring was heard. It echoed throughout the Manor.
"That's mine" Prue said, putting the cup of coffee on the table and running out of the kitchen.
"Oh man!" Phoebe squalled and stood up, dropping the bowl and the spoon down on the floor.
"Ooh.. No, no, no, no, no!" Piper called, "don't..." she stopped; "rub it in..." she continued after Phoebe had already tried to remove the milk off of her dress.
"What's going on here?" Prue asked and hurried into the kitchen, holding her cell phone in her right hand.
"Oh�" she lowered her voice as she looked at Phoebe. Or more likely, at the nice dress Phoebe had�
Phoebe lifted her index finger very slowly and walked towards Prue.
"Okay� A�" Prue mumbled, stepping backwards slowly.
"Why� WHY, must you make your cell phone ring so loudly?" Phoebe asked angrily.
"A� okay, long day ahead of me, love you" Prue said and blew Piper and Phoebe a kiss, then ran out of the kitchen quickly.
"I'm sure it wouldn't leave a stain" Piper said quietly and looked at Phoebe.
Phoebe turned to her, "it had strawberries in it".
"He�" Piper remarked as they heard the front door closing.
Prue entered her jeep and headed towards her office.
"Good morning Miss Halliwell" said Malloy as Prue entered the studio.
Prue smiled unwillingly, "good morning" she said curtly.
She walked towards a table and began setting up her camera.
"Miss Halliwell, I would like you to meet my brother".
Prue rolled her eyes to the sound of Malloy voice.
She turned around and bumped into a tall man.
She raised her eyes slowly and looked at him.
"Prue Halliwell, this is Derek Malloy, my brother" said Malloy and smiled.
"A� hi" Prue said and smiled. Genuinely this time.
"Hello" he smiled.
"Ah, it's nice to meet you" Prue said and looked at him.
His shiny blonde hair emphasized his green eyes. "The pleasure is all mine" he said.
She was fascinated by him.
"Prue, we're starting to shoot the commercial".
Prue turned around, and then turned back to Derek and Malloy.
"I better get back to work" she said and turned to her camera, regretting missing precious moments which could be spent looking into Derek's beautiful eyes.
Uh, Prue shook her head to get rid of those thoughts.
"So, I've got the whole morning and afternoon off after all" said Derek.
"Well, I already told you I can't get out of here. There's absolutely nothing I can do about it right now" Malloy said.
"I've got that meeting at 18:00" Derek said, glancing at Prue, as she was placing a film into her camera.
