Halliwell Manor, Wednesday Evening

[absolutesnark]

Piper had a lot on her mind. Mostly, she was still concerned about Phoebe and two papers that are due next week. She decided she needed a break from the stress, so she called Veronica.

Veronica was just getting back from a late dinner off campus with Kim when her phone rang.

"Hey!" she said when she saw it was Piper. "I've been meaning to call you. How's it going?"

[absolutesnark]

"Things have been kind of weird," Piper replied. "How are you?"

"I'm actually pretty good," Veronica said, sprawling out on her bed. "What's going on?"

[absolutesnark]

Piper figured it was best to just tell Veronica what happened. "Phoebe was out here visiting and she was, um, mugged Sunday night."

"But she's not hurt or anything," she quickly added. "Just kinda freaked out, understandably."

"Who do I need to kill?"

[absolutesnark]

"I don't know," Piper sighed. "He hasn't been caught yet."

"Damn," she swore under her breath. "But Phoebe's okay?"

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah, she is," Piper assured. "She's staying here for a few days before heading back to Fandom."

"Well, good. You guys can keep her safe," Veronica said.

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah, though my grams won't let Phoebe out of her sight."

"Can't say I blame her," Veronica admitted. "You guys gonna be at Homecoming?"

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah. At least I will be. I'm pretty sure Phoebe will be, too," Piper said. "You going?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Yep. I'm going to organize an alumni brunch on Sunday morning at the hotel," Veronica said. "And I, um, have a date for the dance."

[absolutesnark]

Piper heard all of what Veronica said, but only one thing registered. "A date? Mind if I ask who?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Cameron."

[absolutesnark]

Piper knew Veronica and Cameron were friends, but this was somewhat of a surprise. "Oh. Is it a friends thing or...a date thing?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"It's a date thing," she confirmed.

[absolutesnark]

"Well, good for you," Piper said. "Cameron seems like a nice guy."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Yeah. I'm not sure what's going to happen with the whole distance thing, but we're going to take it slow."

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah, I can see the distance thing being an issue, but maybe it won't be so bad," Piper agreed. "The important question? Do I need to have the "I'll blow you up if you hurt my BFF" speech?"

She might have been snickering a bit.

"It might be a tiny bit premature," Veronica said. "We agreed to go to the dance and see how things go before making any decisions."

[absolutesnark]

"I know. I'm only teasing. Besides, I'm not allowed to blow up human beings," Piper said with a laugh. "Whatever happens, I just want you to be happy."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"And that would be why you're my BFF," Veronica said. "So, speaking of being happy, is Lindsey coming to Homecoming?"

[absolutesnark]

"I'm pretty sure, yeah," Piper said. At least she hoped.

"Good," Veronica said. "It'll be nice to have everyone together again for a few days."
