Piper has been worried about Amanda, and look, there she is. Hurrah.

"Amanda! How are you feeling?" Concern overtakes her excitement.

Piper, wonderful distraction.

"Piper" Amanda gets up and gives her a hug, "Thank you so much. I am doing very well. I got my immortality back a few days ago so things have been looking up."

Piper hugs Amanda back, and then settles in across from her in the booth.

Piper smiles, and shakes her head slightly.
"I had no idea all this was going on.
When Prue came and told me that we were going to help someone and told me the situation, she didn't tell me who it was. It wasn't until we went upstairs with Paige that I found out it was you.
I was very worried - of course, there wasn't much time to dwell on it, there never is.

And I babble. But I'm glad you're okay."

Giving Piper another hug before sitting down.

"Yes well it all did happen rather quickly. One moment I was getting ready to disperse the rest of the presents the next I'm off on a quest that ends in mortality only doesn't end there and well. You understand." smiling

"So how are you doing?"

[OOC: yeah for new ep this week]

"I understand all too well.

I am doing..well, I suppose.
Strange stuff with my sisters."

A thoughtful pause, then a slight smile.
"You adjust.
Even though you don't forget, you have to move on..function.
And it's not like I haven't lost him before...although. I can't figure out if that makes it easier or not."

[OOC: OMG, love the icon]

Poor Piper, to lose someone you love multiple times seems as though that would be torcher. Really what do you say.

"You'll be with him again."

Piper reconizes the "there really is nothing to say, so let's be hopeful!" in her voice, but there really is nothing to say. Although Piper's seen too much to not live in reality, it's depressing.

She sighs slightly, then smiles.
"Sure."
When and if my sisters pass this test unlike anything we've ever been through before.

[OOC: Ooh, which one are you looking a?]

They will do fine as they always do. At least that's what everyone hopes. What's life without a few challanges right?

"So what have you been doing with yourself?"

[OCC:

100x100tv...]

"I've been in here a little, but mostly I've been doing the normal stuff at home: keeping the sisters in line, getting attacked by demons, taking care of the boys, whipping up potions, cleaning the house, saving whatever magical creature comes our way.."

"Sounds exhuasting." she chuckles, "And people say I keep busy."

Piper smiles.

"My life is far from boring, that's for sure.
One day I'll try to bring the boys so you can meet them.

Coming here was a break, at least for awhile there, but now it's kind of strange."

"Really how so?" okay it's milliways so this place is strange. But from what she could tell it wasn't much different from the strange stuff that Piper was used to.

"Well, when I first started coming here, I had to get used to demons and vampires and such that I can't vanquish.
Then I became more comfortable with telling about my magic.

And just around that time, my sisters started arriving. At first it was just Paige and Phoebe, and that was strange enough, but then..

I love my sisters, but it was nice to have a break from them. I live with them, we're constantly doing Charmed things together, and there isn't time for a break. When I came here...it was like a loophole."

Long pause-

"And that was all the complications before."

Nodding, "I suppose having family is noce but can be overwhelming. I get the feeling that your sisters feel the same way you do. At least here you don't need to woory about your Charmed duties...Well except when you're saving me it would seem."

"I don't mind helping you, Amanda.
I'm glad to do it.

I guess I just don't know how to deal with seeing Prue again."
She laughs slightly.
"I mean, it's not like I haven't thought about seeing her again. I could have summoned her. I have summoned Grams and even Mom, but - in the end, I couldn't summon her. I mean, at first it was too painful, and then there was the adjustment with Paige...but even after all that, well, eventually I realized I was just making excuses."

"I can't imagine what it would be like to see someone whom I've greived for." she never ran into Darius when he was here.

"I haven't seen her since the infirmary.

I could almost convince myself it was a dream."

"Do you want to?" she is good with the tough questions.

Amanda does however wave dwn a wait-rat to order tea. This conversation needs it.

Tea is always wonderful.

Piper looks away slightly and sighs.
"It wouldn't help anything. I will run into her eventually. Reality isn't going to go away just because I hide from it."

She lets herself go for a moment in angst, "I didn't even know she could come here!"
Then she collects herself, so she's calm looking.

Amanda nods and serves the tea when it arrives.

"There are many people here that are dead. There is alot about this place that may never be explained so I try to enjoy what it has to offer." in other words friends.

"Yes."

Pause-

"Although everytime I step through that door I wonder which I will face: the good and enjoyable things, or the not-so-pleasent, I'd-rather-be-somewhere-else-and-not-deal-with-this things.

"I'm afraid that is just part of life. But here it does seem to tend towards the good." Unless you are careless and go getting almost killed.

A half smile.
"Yes, it is.
I guess I just keep hoping things will get easier. Silly, after all this time."

She runs her fingers through her hair.
"I'll adjust."

Amandachuckles, "Hope springs eternal. Even I keep thinking it'll get easier. And honestly sometimes it is."

Piper smiles.

"I'm not sure it has gotten much easier, but sometimes it'll change to a different type of difficult."

"Well I suppose that's something." Amanda sips her tea.

"SO tell me about your boys?" Amanda actually knows remarkably little about them.

"Well, Wyatt is almost three.
Chris is eighteen months old.

They're..very different. There were prophesies about Wyatt; he has powers in the womb. He's been blessed by I don't even know by how many different magical beings, and set apart in many different ways.
And yet, he's supposed to grow up and be the reigning power of all evil.

Chris seems to be a normal, happy baby. That is, a normal half-witch, half-whitelighter baby.
And when he grows up he has alot of issues with Leo, and something apparently happens to me. Other than being terrorized by his brother, and his father issues, he seemed to be as well adjusted as one could hope."

She shrugs.

"Hopefully none of that will happen now."

Amanda is a little floored by all of this, "How do you know so much about what they will be like when they grow up?"

"And I would certainaly hope not."

Piper waves it off; this is normal to her.
"Oh, when my sisters and I were fighting the Titans, Chris came from the future to help. He was in his twenties. Anyway, as a result, Paige is still alive, and a lot of lives were saved.

After that, he told us about a big threat that would Turn Wyatt and about this evil power in the future."

Slight smile.

"It wasn't until much later that he told us the 'evil power' was Wyatt.
It also wasn't until much later that we found out that Chris was our son.
That explained a few things."

"Wow Piper. You certainally have a very interesting life." Amanda figures this place should be rather easy for her and her sisters to adjust to. And honestly a dead sister showing doesn't seem as though it should be so out there. But then again Amanda hasn't had to deal with meeting a dead love one.

This also helps her put her life into perspective.

"Well, I've tried living a normal life, but having the ability to help and not doing it got to me after awhile.

I suppose if you've got to live, it's better for it to be interesting than not."

She sips her tea.

"And it makes you appreciate the quiet moments, that's for sure."

"Couldn't agree more. There are some things that most people take for granted." Even Amanda at times. But she wouldn't admit that.

"I don't think anyone is immune from taking things for granted, no matter what they've been through."

"No. Suppose not. But the universe tends to remind you from time to time."

"Morning Amanda. I have a message for you."

"Morning Guppy." she says cheerfully when she see's him.

Then her eyebrows raise, "Really, what's that?"

"I've just been in the infirmary. Snowball asked me to tell you that he's fine and not to worry. He was just waking up when I came out of the office there."

He smiles. "So you can stop looking so worried. Friend of yours?"

Apart from Gil, Guppy doesn't know many people who aren't friends of Amanda here.

And she plans on working on that one.

SHe smiles, "Yeah, he's my roommate." there is a fondness in her voice. She had stayed with him long past when he went to sleep last night before trying to get some of her own. "He is very sweet."

"Thank you Guppy."

Guppy smiles. "No problem. Do you want to come and see him?"

She stands up holding her book, "Yeah I think I would like that very much."

Giving Guppy a hug. "Just let me get him somethings fist." walking up to the bar she gets a bushel of apples, a cucumber and watermelon for Snowball as well as water. Then looking at GUppy she also orders two sandwiches. This is why trays were invented.

Guppy glances down at the fruit.

"I just asked him if he wanted anything and he didn't seem very hungry, but maybe you will be able to persuade him."

He opens the door to the infirmary.

[OOC: is Guppy going to respond in the Infirmary thread?]

[ooc: I was waiting for you. Oops. Do you want to go next?]
