Seven - Piper Just Loves Camp

[charmedandperky]

[Piper is all attitude and ticked off, the perfect little sixteen year old.] Ok! I know you guys want no trouble, so I'm just going to lay it on the line. I AM, under no circumstances, going to the lake!

No amount of threats, bribery or violence is going to get me there. CapisceNo! I do not have a phobia! No! I know how to swim

This camp?

[charmedandperky]

Thankfully, I haven't met the sadist who's quite sadistic enough to both send me to camp and send me to the same one that my mom died at. That one closed down.

Pardon me if I still think the parallels are a little too much anyway.

Dammit, Grams, distance doesn't mean squat.

Then there's no reason to assume that the same something might be found here; though your fear of swimming is understandable.

[charmedandperky]

Here's a reason. Assuming there isn't has more of a chance of getting you killed than assuming there is.

[with_discipline]

There's nothing wrong with caution, I guess.

[charmedandperky]

No. My name's Piper, by the way.

[with_discipline]

T'Pol.

[charmedandperky]

Huh. [Weird names like that can be muttered in the Halliwell household. Of course, Piper doesn't know what they mean, and if she does find out, her memory's promptly wiped.] You from San Francisco?

[with_discipline]

Sausalito, actually. [T'Pol just gets haughty when people mock her name. She half expects it.]

[charmedandperky]

[Yeah, she's not going to do that, unless she starts calling her 'Pippin' or something.] Prescott Street. The house has been ours for generations.

[with_discipline]

Really? No one ever moves out?

[charmedandperky]

Not unless you count my Dad. [Yeah... that's not actually funny.] People move out, but we always find our way back.

[with_discipline]

[...Yeah, not really.] I live with my mom. How old is your house?

[charmedandperky]

Between a century and two. Sorry, just I hear 'generations' and I tune it out, only so many times I can listen to
that lecture.

[with_discipline]

How big is your family?

[charmedandperky]

It's just Grams and me and my sisters at home. We've got an aunt and cousins, but that's on my father's side.
