A/N; Hey guys you have found your way to a joined story between three writers. We all write from a different sister's POV, not sure if we will bring in Paige (we might later on).
This is an AU story that touches the subject on fate and destiny. That what if these sisters did different choices in life, would that still lead up to the same result?
So we hope you will all like it and stay with us to keep us motivated to keep writing.
Now the first chapter is written by me (Seriously Em, formerly known as emelie172) and it is written from Prue's POV.
Kismet
Summary We all know how the three sisters met and how they became charmed. But what if fate had turned the tables on the three women. What if they met under the same circumstances but as different people, would then their destiny have been different?

Prue's POV
Meetings in a bar
Destiny, Fate, kismet or what ever name you want to call it, it runs through our lives, unseen and untouchable. This force is what decides what changes should be put upon us and how one single choice can change your entire life…just one little step, one single choice can save someone's life or maybe destroy someone else's…it all comes down to one choice…

It had been one of those really great summer days but now as the evening had come and passed the wind was getting colder. Something I should have thought more about when I had chosen tonight's outfit. The air did not seem to care that the skirt had a designer label and that my high heeled boots were the latest fashion. Then again why would it?
I spotted the line of people and breathed out in relief that I was so close to the warmth inside. I hurried up beside the velvet rope and approached the bouncer. He sure did not seem to like his job; the sour, angry look on his face gave him out at once. He eyed me up and down before he shook his head and waved for me to go to the end of the line.
"I'm supposed to be on the list" I said and leaned closer to make sure he could hear me over the loud voices around me. "Prue Halliwell" he looked over the list in his hand and his face turned even angrier as he stepped aside to let me pass him.
"I see people are still as friendly in San Francisco" I couldn't help but smile at the thought. A smile that soon grew wider as I looked out over the club. People were dancing, the music was pounding and I loved it already. "This is so my kind of place."
I walked over to the bar and somehow managed to find a tiny gap where I pressed myself in until I felt the hard bar against my hands. I scanned the waiters and soon spotted my goal for the night.
"Is the service always this slow?" I teased, knowing just what buttons to press.
And just as I thought the brunette spun around with a look ready to kill. The knife in her hand didn't help me if she were to take that look into action. But soon she spotted me and broke out smiling. "Well if it isn't Miss big shot…here in my bar" she laughed and took the two steps towards me and I reached over the bar to meet her in a hug. "What brings you here to my little corner of the world?" she placed the knife under the bar as she realized it was still in her hand.
"Why do you always think I have alternative motive?" I asked, putting on my most innocent look and most fragile voice but that did not fool her. All she did was give me that look. The one she had inherited from grams and I would kill to have. "Fine I got a promotion here in town so I crossed the big old country to check it out and to see my favourite sister" I said giving her my sweetest smile.
"That's so great" Piper sounded sincerely happy and embraced me in yet another hug. "Come on, lets sit down and chat" she broke the hug and showed for my to walk around the bar.
I moved down towards the dance floor and she soon joined me, guiding me to one of the more private booths alongside the wall. I scooted in on one side and she did the same on the other and before we even had time to open our mouths to talk a guy with sandy hair and gorgeous blue eyes placed two drinks on our table.
"Thanks Leo" Piper said with a smile before he hurried back to handle the bar.
"Leo?" I asked with a smile. "Anything going on there?" I added and sent the man a look before I grabbed my drink.
"We're friends" Piper answered.
"Just friends" I crocked an eyebrow and she laughed.
"Yes, anything wrong with having a guy as a friend?"
"No" I said. "I have a few of those too back in Boston."
We both fell silent. I knew it was my fault for uttering the B word. It had always been a bit of a soar subject between us.
"So you said you got a promotion here" Piper trailed the pattern of her napkin with her fingertips. "Are you taking it or is this just a quick stop-by?"
"I don't know…" I tried to answer her as honest as possible. "The job sounds amazing but my whole life is in Boston…" I stopped myself as I saw the look on my sister's face. "Piper I didn't mean it like that."
"It's okay Prue, I know you have a big life in Boston" Piper said. "You went after your dream, you deserved that after what happened with grams dying and Phoebe running away. We both did fine, so don't worry about that."
"You really did well" I said and looked out over the club. "This place is truly amazing."
"Thanks, I may not be as famous as Miss Photographer of the year…" she winked at me. "But I was featured in some magazines and I don't like to brag but the lists of bands waiting is pretty good" Piper did a small bow that made me laugh.
God I missed this, just hanging out with my sister.
"We Halliwells did pretty good in the world I guess" I said but the smile on her face went away and she lowered her eyes to the drink before her.
"Do you still think about her?" she asked.
"Who?"
"Phoebe" Piper said and her eyes shot up again. "Do you ever think about her anymore?"
"Of course I do Piper" I said, my voice sinking lower so she probably had to struggle to even hear me over the sounds around us. "I mean how can I not? She left because of me and I couldn't keep her in check after grams died."
"Prue…"
"No, you don't need to do that it wasn't my fault speech. I know it by heart already" I sighed slightly. "And we don't need to ruin a perfect night by talking about Phoebe, now do we?" I raised my glass but the look in Piper's eyes told me her thoughts of our baby sister would never go away.
We clicked out glass together and drank in silence for a few minutes. No one really wanting to start up a conversation again. In the end Piper was the one to break the silence.
"So did you hear Andy is back in town?" she teased.
"Andy is back?" I almost spit my drink back out. "Didn't he move to Portland?"
"Yeah but he pulled that promotion story too" Piper said casually but her eyes were glimmering with laughter.
"Okay you are so mean" I cried. "Is that all because of the Leo thing?"
"Now what ever do you mean sister dear?" Piper said with an innocent smile. "Now I should get back to that bar of mine before someone breaks every single glass in the building…" she added and I glanced over at the bar where Leo was sweeping up some broken glass off the floor.
"Probably a good idea" I laughed before I drowned my drink. "And I will try out that dance floor" I added and got up with her.
So we split up, Piper headed back to the bar and I moved out on the dance floor and let the constant beating of the music fill my every sense…escaping the world outside.

It was long after midnight when I fumbled to get my door open. The keys seemed to slip from my hands time after time until they finally landed on the concrete floor.
"Great" I bent down just in time to feel another hand grasping the keys. I looked up and found myself drowning in the most stunning green eyes I had ever seen.
"Sorry, I just wanted to help" He got up and held out his hand to guide me up as well. "I'm Brendan by the way" he added and sent me a blending smile.
"Prue" I said and returned the smile, trying to act casual by taking a step towards my door – failing miserably thanks for the alcohol and fell straight into him.
"Now I was thinking I had to take you out before you started falling for me" he laughed as he wrapped an arm around me to steady me again.
"Cute" I laughed. "But you still have to take me out…oh and give me my keys."
"Okay then" he gave me the keys back and gave me another smile before he let go so I could get to my door. "I'll keep in touch."
This time I got the door open but before I walked in I turned around to watch him walk away but the hall behind me was empty…
