Hello! This is my first fanfic of Pushing daisies! I know it´s a bit late to write a fanfic about this series, but it has taken me years to finally finish it… And I think that wasn´t a real ending. That´s why I bring to you a fanfic of what would be a better ending. It´s like a season 3 I think D:

Hope you like it! (: KISSES!

It´s been seven days, four hours, six minutes and twelve seconds since the Piemaker and his beloved non dead girlfriend appeared in front of aunt Vivian and Lilly´s house. That day they had spent the whole afternoon talking about how the Piemaker brought Chuck to life again and what they had been through all that time. Both women were in a real shock at first but then they finally rejoiced with the fact that her daughter and niece was alive. It had all gone fine. Lily and Vivian promised to keep Ned´s secret and the girl named Chuck promised to visit them everyday.

However and since the moment Ned and Chuck left that night the house of her aunts, the Piemaker felt in the depth of his heart that he was starting to loose her again. He said nothing and instead tried to hide his fear by pretending he was as happy as her.

As the week went through Ned began to notice that Chuck passed less and less time in the Pie Hole and instead she used it to go with her aunt and mother to her daily training in the pool. He started to panic about a terrible posibility: Chuck telling him that she would join Lilly and Vivian to their tour in Europe. Only considering the idea of her beloved girlfriend visiting Paris or Italy without him and sorrounded by every kind of handsome seducers made him dizzy.

It was until that Sunday afternoon, when he and Chuck were having a piece of strawberry pie and a cup of coffee when he decided to ask her about how were the things with her mother and aunt going.

"It´s amazing! We have been recovering all the lost moments. I just feel so blessed of having them again with me! And everything thanks to you, Ned!" she answered smiling.

"I´m so happy to see that you are happy." He smiled too.

"By the way…" She added after drinking a bit of coffee. "They asked me today if I could join them to their tour in Europe that is gonna start next week."

"And what did you tell them?" Ned wanted to know feeling nervous.

"I told them I was going to give them my answer tomorrow." Explained she. "Because I wanted to tell you first. Would you like coming with us?"

"Well, Chuck, of course I would be glad to join you. But I don´t think they would feel very comfortable about it and also… I can´t just leave the Pie Hole now that Olive is about to leave to start her own restaurant."

Chuck gave him a sad look but in that moment a phone call cut the conversation. Ned woke up from his chair quite disappointed and answered the phone.

"Yes? You are calling to the Pie Hole…"

Chuck saw some seconds later how Ned´s face changed immediately and for a second forgot what they were just talking about.

"I´ll be there in some minutes." He finished the call and quickly hung off the phone.

"What´s going on?" Chuck asked worried.

"It´s Emerson. Someone tried to kill him. He is in the hospital right now. The person that called me said he is not gonna make it."

The facts were these: That afternoon Emerson Cod had just returned to his office to see if he had any messagges left. He had been the whole weekend with his daughter Penny enjoying their family moments, however once he put a foot inside the office a silver bullet crashed against his chest. The owner of the Chinese food had listened the shoot and quickly called the pólice but no one saw who the murderer was.

Fifteen minutes and twenty eight seconds later the Piemaker and Chuck arrived to the hospital where Emerson was. They had asked in the reception for their friend, but the nurse told them that they couldn´t get inside until the doctors transferred Emerson to a room. They waited for some minutes, but no one give them news.

"This situation is driving me crazy." Chuck said trying not to cry. "What if he is dea…"

"Don´t even say it."

"But what if… I mean, they are taking a lot of time and no one says anything to us!"

"Maybe I can get in and see if anyone else can help us."

"And if you discover that he is… Well, you know… Would you touch him?"

"Yeah. I would probably touch him."

Ned and Chuck shared one last glance and he finally left. He introduced himself inside the corridors of the hospital until he finally arrived to the intensive care room. He spied from outside but quickly discover that a young doctor was inside checking a patient. Emerson was in the next bed. The Piemaker was wondering how could he get without being noticed when suddenly a machine made a terrible noice. It was the patient the doctor was just checking whose heart had just stopped. At first Ned got scared believeing for a moment that it had been his friend, however the time stopped for an instant when he suddenly saw what the doctor just did. She touched the patient and a Golden glow came from the dead body and then the patient started to breath again.

" d!" The Piemaker almost fainted when he discovered that someone else had the same strange power that him.

Anny Tyler was born twenty nine years, eight months, thirteen days, two minutes and one second ago. She was the last sister of a family of ten brothers a mother and a dad. She had always been a lonely child though and that solitude was where she discovered her gift. Anny´s favourite animals were her two fish pets: Mr and Mrs Fischer. She raised them and took care of them until one day one of his older brother threw down the glass fish container accidentaly when he was running while his little sister was outside playing in the garden to be a doctor with her imaginary Friends. Her older brother just left the fish there and fled. Hours later, when the little girl returned to her room she discovered the tragedy. Crying with a Deep sadness litte Anny bent and carefully took Mr and Mrs Fischer. In that instant both fish revived and Anny ran for another container with water quickly. Though she was just six years old, little Anny was extremely intelligent and quickly realised the great power that she had on her finger. She revided the flowers of the garden after Winter but when she touched them again they dried again. She also realised that everytime she brought from the death her flowers, the ones of the neighbours died. She promised then to herself not to tell anyone about her gift ever and to use it only for the good and never in a selfish way. Now, she was a well known doctor that lived a peaceful life in a luxurios and pretty house with a great garden with lots of flowers. She had never had a partner and thought that she didn´t need one scared of the fact to share her secret or having to use her power in a selfish way. She was happy with her loneliness and her two Golden fish that still lived in her home.

But that afternoon, after touching the patient next to Emerson Cod she called quickly the nurses to attend the just resurrected patient and quickly she left the room. Ned was still shocked when other doctor arrived to the room and discretly doctor Anny Tyler fled. It took him a minute to finally realice that it was real. He went back with Chuck and waited for the doctors for Emerson´s news. He kept thinking about what he saw inside the intensive care room all the night. Chuck noticed that something was wrong with the Piemaker but she thought that it was probably because of the fact that his friend Emerson was in real danger and hadn´t woke up from yet.

The next day Chuck Charles woke up early to prepare breakfast before going with Lilly and Vivian but when Ned arrived to the kitchen she realised that he was still very quiet and thoughtfull.

"Are you okay, Ned?" She asked quite worried.

"Yeah… It´s just that…" The Piemaker hesitated about telling what he had discovered to Chuck and a plan that he had got by thinking the whole night, but at the end he preferred to wait until he were sure that it would work. "It´s Emerson. I´m very worried about him. I´m going to visit him before going to the Pie Hole."

"He will make it, Ned. He is a strong man." The girl tried to recomfort him. She hugged herself for him to think that it was actually him whom she was embracing.

Ned did the same and he knew for sure then that he would do anything to be able to be with Chuck and to finally touch each other.

Half an hour later Chuck left and went with her aunt and mother and Ned went to the hospital decided to fullfill his plan. First he asked for Emerson´s health. It hadn´t improved unfortunalety. And then he asked for the name of the young doctor he had seen the last day.

"Oh, doctor Anny Tyler!" the nurse said happily. "She is actually your friend´s doctor. Oh my, she is such a wonderful person!"

"Is there any chance I can talk to her?"

"Yeah, sure! She is in medical consultation right now but maybe she can attend you later. Take this, sir. Here is her card with her phone number and the adress of her office. She is over here at four o clock more or less."

"Thank you very much."

Ned went to the Pie Hole and stood there the whole morning but at three o clock he returned quickly to the hospital. He looked for doctor Anny Tyler´s office and waited there pretending to read a magazine until the last patient went out.

"Hello, my name is Ned." He said to the secretary in a freindly way. "Is there any chance I can see the doctor now?"

"Sorry, did you have any appointment?"

"No, in fact I just came because… Uhhhm… I just feel really bad."

"I´m sorry, but doctor Tyler can´t receive anyone without an appointment, sir." The secretary said in an arrogant tone.

"Please, I´m begging you. I had the WORST diarrhea of my life. I need to see her!"

"I said I´m sorry but…"

In that moment the girl came out of her office happily.

"Good bye, doctor Tyler. Have an excellent afternoon!" The secretary said kindly to her.

"Good b…"

"Doctor Tyler!" Ned interferred swiftly. "Nice to meet you. I´m Ned. I´m dying of diarrhea! Please, PLEASE, help me!"

"Oh, Mrs. Miller, why didn´t you tell me that Mr Ned needed a consultation?" the doctor said quite angry to the secretary. "Of course, sir. Come inside. We´ll fix your stomach quickly!"

The secretary sent a assasin glance to the Piemaker. He and the doctor went inside her office and she closed the door. Both sat in front of her desk and she smiled to him.

"Very well, Mr. Ned, what can I do for you? When did the diarrhea begin?"

"In fact I have no diarrea…"

"What?"

"I´m here to tell you that I saw you yesterday touching that patient, making him glow and then making him come back from death." Ned said without hesitation.

"Oh my god, no…" She became pale and cover her mouth with a hand. "No, you are in a great mistake! I didn´t do that! It´s madness! Are you listening to what you just said! It´s not true! And even if you try to tell other people no one is gonna belive you! So now, please make me a favor and leave and never try again to make muckery of me or even speak to me again!"

"Wait! I´m not trying to suborn you!"

"Leave, Ned or I´m gonna scream!"

"Doctor Tyler, please!"

The doctor stood up in a rapid move and left the office almost running. Ned followed her without her noticing until she arrived to the hospital intensive care room. Anny was so nervous that she almost fell down several times. Finally she took her turn in the patients caring and began to check each one of them. She was making her job when suddenly the machine made the sound again. This time it was Emerson Cod´s heart the one that had stopped. She approched to him with the intention to tuch him when Ned appeared again.

"What are you doing here?!" She became pale again between scared and angry.

"Go on. You were gonna touch him, weren´t you?" he said desperately.

"I… I wasn´t gonna make anythng! Leave me alone! You are a crazy stucker that came from I don´t even know where!"

"He has just found his lost daughter… You can´t let him die!"

"I´m gonna call the pólice now…"

"Touch him, doctor Tyler"

"You are crazy!"

"No. I´m not." Ned said. She was absolutely scared and about to scream to call the pólice when Ned touched Emerson.

He shined and then he started to breathe again. Anny was perplexed for a second and then other nurses and doctors arrived. She finally stopped staring at Ned and ran out of the room. He went right after her until she stopped running when they arrived to the park in front of the hospital. She sat down in a Wood bech and took a Deep beath. The Piemaker sat by her side and waited until she stared at him once more.

"Was that man your friend?" Anny asked to the Piemaker.

"Indeed. He is a very good friend. Everything I told you was real. He has just recovered his lost kid."

"Well, I´m glad you saved him." She sighed. "I… I didn´t know that others could do the same as me."

"Me neither. It was a real surprise."

"If you touch them again you kill them again?"

"Yes." Ned nodded.

"Oh, yeah. That´s horrible ain´t it?"

"At least you use it for a good cause. You are an excellent doctor, I have heard."

"Well, that´s what they say. I just try to save as many people as I can." She finally smiled at him and so did he. "I´ve been wondering my whole life if there was anyone like me in the world. I can´t believe that actually there is someone."

Since that moment the Piemaker decided to talk to Anny Tyler with the truth. They both told to each other about their lives and how each of them used their power. She found very funny how did Ned brought dead people to live to solve criminal cases and she also explained to him how did she make the decision of who was better to keep alive and how always someone else died a minute later, but it was always someone that didn´t have any chance to survive anyway. She had to be extremely careful and make an exhausting Piemaker also found curious how much they had in common and by the end of the night they had become very good friends.

"I can drive you to your home if you want." Ned said kindly to her.

"No, thanks. There is no need. My car is in the hospital. But thank you, Ned. I hope you have a good night."

"Thanks. You too."

Anny stood up again to return to the hospital. Ned hadn´t told her anything about Chuck yet, because she had been very clear when she explained to him that she only used her power in the hospital and for the good. However when she was leaving, he also stood up and spoke again.

"Anny…"

"Oh, yes, Ned?" she turned around smiling.

"Uhhhh…" The Piemaker hesitated. She really seemed to be the kindest doctor he had ever met. Perhaps and just perhaps if he won his trust the sweet doctor Anny Tyler could touch Chuck Charles, the woman he loved, just after he touched her, so that she could come back from death once more but this time Ned and she could finally touch and be happy ever after.

"Are you still there, Piemaker?" Anny asked still smiling and raising a brow.

"Uh, yes!" he laughed a little. "It´s just that… I was wondering if you would like to come tomorrow to the Pie Hole to have a piece of pie and a cup of coffee."

"Sorry, tomorrow I have the whole day ocuppied in my agenda." She made a sad face.

"Well, maybe…"

"Could you receive me at nine pm?"

Oh, sure, sure! It will be a plesure!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"Good bye, Piemaker." Anny said happilly one last time and returned to the hospital singing quietly.

Ned returned to his appartement too. He said nothing to Chuck yet but felt more relieved somehow. He had for the first time a chance to change the situation between Chuck and him and he wasn´t going to let it go easily. He would do anything he could to make Anny Tyler to touch the woman he loved.

The Piemaker embraced (with his plastic barrier) Chuck the whole night without being able to sleep and just thinking of how lucky he was to finally get a chance to be completely happy. However, in the beautiful but lonely house of doctor Anny Tyler a light of hope had just turned on. She had never believed in love at first sight, but young Anny couldn´t sleep either remembering Ned´s beautiful smile. Holding the fishbowl of Mr and Mrs Fisher and laying on her bed thought about how lucky she was for finally finding someone else to share her secret. Ned, the piemaker was the friend he had been waiting for all her life. For her, there was no other reason, they were meant to be together, or for what else could they be destined to find each other?
