A day at P3

[Peyton Scott]

Peyton

::Peyton shimmered into the backroom of P3. Nobody seemed to be there yet::

Hmm… I wonder where everyone is. Its almost time to open and no on is here. Something just doesn’t feel right.

:: She hung up her coat and went to the mirror, and fixed her hair before she entered the main room of P3. Looking around she didn’t see anyone at all and she didn’t hear anyone either. She went behind the bar, and found a towel and began to wipe off the top of the bar.::

Where is everyone? I haven't ever seen this place empty before. There's always someone here. It feels so odd.

:: She takes a quick look around before getting bored of wiping down the counter so she went over to the radio and turned it on. After finding a good station, she went behind the bar again and began organizing the selves. Then Rachel walked in, Rachel helped out at P3 as it was more like work experience. She looks up and spots Peyton rearranging the shelves and says::

"Oh hey. I didn't expect anyone to be here"

:: Peyton looks up from organizing the shelves she stands up and sees Rachel who is saying something::

"Hey. I didn't have anything else to do really so I just thought that I would come in and get some work done now. What's up?"

::Rachel replied very chirpy::

"Oh cool, well I was supposed to be doing something but I just can't remember what it was"

:: Peyton replied while smiling ::

"Thats never good."

:: She puts her hands in her pockets and walks around from behind the bar and has a seat on one of the chairs ::

"You haven't seen Piper today have you? I thought she said she was going to come in early today, but I haven't seen her yet."

[Chris Halliwell]

Chris

:: Orbing into one of the back rooms of P3 he looked around ::

I wonder if she's here...

:: He opened the door and walked into the main room where he found Rachel and Peyton ::

"Oh hey, I didn't think anyone would be here. You guys haven't seen my mom by any chance have you? I can' seem to find her anywhere."

I wonder what her secret is

:: He thought that to himself while thinking about Peyton. She had just seemed to pop into their lives. For some odd reason he felt like he wanted to get to know her better::

[Peyton Scott]

Peyton

:: She looked passed Rachel to Chris who somehow entered without anyone hearing him. He came out of one of the back rooms but she wasn't sure how he got there ::

Maybe he was here when I got here. Wow I need to start being more careful about just shimmering places. Someone might see me sometime.

"I was just asking Rachel if she's seen Piper today. I guess I haven't talked to her yet today. Did you look at home or anything yet?"

::Rachel then speak for the first time since Chris had come in::

"No, I havn't, Isn't she at home? Maybe she's just gone out, well anyway I only came in to pick up by times for next week so see ya"

::And with that she walked out, bubbily as ever and left both Peyton and Chris together. They both watched as she walked out and then turned their attention back to each other::

[Chris Halliwell]

Chris

"She wasn't at home. I don't think anyone has seen her at all today. Maybe I can just stick around until she gets here or something. I could always help you with whatever you might need help with."

:: Chris was always eager to lend a helping hand. Especially when it was to a girl he wanted to learn more about::

[Peyton Scott]

Peyton

:: She stands up off the stool and starts to walk around the bar to get back to organizing the shelves ::

"Well if your offering, I won't say no. If you want to you can help me wipe down the bar or tables or you can help me organize. Take your pick."

What an interesting guy. Hmmm. I wonder what his secret is.

[Chris Halliwell]

Chris

:: He walks around and enters the bar. He looks at the shelves and sees that they are pretty unorganized. He gets on his knees and starts to move some stuff around ::

"So what brought you to the area?"

She just seems so interesting.

[Peyton Scott]

Peyton

:: She kneels beside him and starts to work again ::

"Well I guess when my mom died, she died when I was 13, I was put into foster care. When I was 16 the foster family that I was living with decided to adopt me. Then about 6 months after that my foster dad got transfered here for his job. So I guess I just kind of tagged along. I have to say, its turning out better than I ever thought it would. I didn't want to leave, but I wanted to stay with my family."

:: She stops and looks at him ::

" But my life isn't that interesting. But what about you? What makes you so interesting?"

[Chris Halliwell]

Chris

:: He looks at Peyton ::

"I'm sorry about your mom. That must have been really hard."

I don't know what I would do without my mom. She's always been there for me. If I didn't have her I think I would be so lost.

"There's really nothing interesting about me. I'm just a regular guy. My life is pretty boring."

Except for when there are demons to vanquish or a family crisis.

"What about your dad? Where was he when you were growing up?"

[Peyton Scott]

Peyton

" It's ok. I guess I don't really remember too much about him. My mom always told me that he was a demon. And I guess other people thought he was too, because he was killed. Life isn't always perfect. But things like that make you stronger. So I guess I am who I am today because of what happened in my past."

:: She looks down towards the ground for a moment. Then she returns her attention to Chris ::

"Well you pretty much know my whole story. So whats yours?"

[Chris Halliwell]

Chris

:: When the word demon came out of Peyton's mouth he just stared for a moment thinking ::

If only she knew those things were real. I'm sure she wouldn't be calling her dad a demon then.

"Hmmm.... Lets see. I grew up being the middle child. I have an older brother, Wyatt, whom I'm rather close to. And I have a little sister, Melinda. My family is very close if you haven't noticed yet. I just started college. But I'm starting to think it's not really my thing. And I'm very protective of my family. That's pretty much me I guess."

And I have magical powers that I use to fight evil. Hmmm. I'm thinking that wouldn't go that great.

[Peyton Scott]

Peyton

"Well I'm not sure why, but I think there's something more to you than that. Something in your eyes is telling me your special. But what do I know."

:: She looks back towards the shelves and starts to move things around. No one has ever made her this interested before. There was something about him. He had a secret. They all did. And she was going to find out what that secret is ::

[Chris Halliwell]

Chris

"Maybe. Everyone has their secrets."

:: He begins again at attempting to organize. But he doesn't know how long he'll end up being quiet for. He likes talking to Peyton and wants to continue getting to know her::

I wonder if I should ask her out to dinner or something. Maybe I'll talk to mom when I find her about it.

[Peyton Scott]

Peyton

:: She starts to think about different things ::

I wonder if he knows that I'm not 100% good. Most people can seem to sense that I have a dark side, but I don't think he sees it.

"Do you want to hang out or something when I'm done with work tonight?"

[Chris Halliwell]

Chris

"Yeah, that would be nice."

:: He stands up unexpectedly. He knew he needed to talk to him mom and he was starting to feel as though someone in his family were in some kind of trouble. He wondered where Melinda was. He knew that if she was worried about their mom, she could be anywhere looking for her::

"Sorry to have to cut this short but I have to go and look for my mom before we open. You should give me a call sometime tonight."

:: He grabs a napkin and a pen and writes down his number for her::

"Bye Peyton."

:: After turning to leave he smiles to himself and makes his way towards the back exit. He looks around and orbs out::

[Peyton Scott]

Peyton

::After Chris left, Peyton continued cleaning until she was done. When she was done she came out from behind and decided she would go and see if Chris was at home. She goes towards the back room and shimmers out to the manor::
