Not Now, Not Ever (Charmed, prompt #19) Title: Not Now, Not Ever Fandom:Charmed Characters/Pairing: Prue, Phoebe Rating: G Word Count: 128 Challenge/Prompt: #19 - crash Notes: Set pre-series
"Phoebe's like a train wreck," Prue sniffs. "The last thing we need in our lives right now." And she feels small and ashamed the minute the words leave her mouth, but it's true.
It's true, because Phoebe lives as if life is a car crash in slow motion, like we'll all be going over the cliff any second now, so buckle up and hang on and have fun while you can.
What's not true, though, what's false, is Prue's disdain for such an attitude. She won't admit it, maybe not even to herself, but Phoebe makes Prue yearn, makes her long for something, anything, other than this staid, responsible life.
And that, in the end, is the one thing she can't forgive Phoebe for. Not now, not ever.
