If I owned these Characters (aside from the ones you don't recognize) I probably wouldn't be writing these. If I owned these characters, you would probably see this story on the show. Hey! You know what? I am writing these and you don't see this story line on the show, therefore, I DO NOT OWN THESE CHARACTERS!!! So don't sue me!



This is it. This is it. It has taken me over seven years, but this is it. I've loved Her all these years. Her smile. Her hair. The way She laughed. The way Her beautiful brown eyes made me melt. Everything about Her made me smile. Here I am, standing at Her door. Maybe I should have called first. Yeah. I'm going to head back to my hotel room and call her, and then come over. NO! I can't do that. It has taken me seven years to work up the courage to do this, I can't have come all this way to back out now, and never get the courage to do it again. This is it. I'm going to reach over and ring the door bell. There, that wasn't so hard. Voices rise from inside, HERS!

"Prue, no. Let me get the door" It was Her voice. How sweet it was. It was even sweeter than I remember. Like daises on a summer day. Will She remember me? Oh no, I can't panic now. Not now. Yes, She will remember me. I used to live next door, but it has been seven years. The door opens, I look up to see Her, only to be dismayed. There was a girl standing there, no older than five. She stares at me blankly. Oh no!! Her hair looks like Hers. Her eyes made me melt, just like She once did. She has a daughter, She must be married! I panic again. Quickly changing my thoughts I looked cheerfully at the girl.

"Hey there! Is Piper home?" I asked her. Of course Piper was home! I could hear the sweetest sound from inside.

"Yes. Why?" The girl asked. Then, coming around the corner, there She was. Wiping her hands on an apron. She must have been cooking. I remember how She loved to cook. My mouth begins watering as I remember Her heavenly food. She saw me. Oh no! She's panicking. No, no, no Piper! Don't make this harder than this already is. You got to let me talk, before you panic. Please Piper.

"Hi Dan!" She says cheerfully. On the outside I knew that she was showing no emotion, but those eyes tell me so more. Shit! I was the last person on earth she wanted to see. What do I say? What do I Say? Why does my mind have to freeze now. She just said Hi to me. When one person says hi to another, that other person says, what? Crap, ok think Dan think. Hi. Duh! Thank you God! I remember what to say. How do I say that without sounding like an idiot? There is only one way to say hi. That's it I'm going to talk to her.

"Hi Piper." Shit! I sounded like an idiot!!!

"Why don't you come in?" She offered, taking my hand. Her hand was so soft, her touch the same. Why didn't you love me back? My head screamed at her. I LOVE YOU!!! My head is screaming now. I must control my words. Her daughter is right there. Maybe it isn't her daughter. Yeah. Maybe it is one of her nieces. It could be her sister Phoebe's daughter, or maybe she's Prue's daughter. Why would Prue name her daughter after her? It has been done. God, no she is Piper's daughter. I walk into the entrance way and look around. My heart begins to beat faster. I hope She doesn't hear it, that would suck more. The house looked the same as I remember. Only there were toys littered around the halls. She looked away from me, and at the girl there.

"Prue sweetie, why don't you go watch TV now? Ok?" Her voice rang through my ears. Please God, don't let me loose it. I pray.

"But Mommy, we were baking cookies!" The girl whines. Great! She called Her Mommy, meaning that the girl, her name is Prue if I remember, is Her daughter.

"Mommy needs to talk to my friend Dan here now, ok Prue. I promise, when the buzzer rings, you can come into the kitchen, and we can take the cookies out together, and then you are to go back and watch TV. Now, Prue." Piper said. I watched the girl reluctantly turn and go. Did She just call me a friend? I'm her friend, or was she just saying that to her daughter? So many questions, all of them would sound stupid to ask. "Why don't we talk in the kitchen?" She said, her voice pulling me out of my reverie. Didn't she just tell Prue to go watch TV? Why does she now want to talk to her in the kitchen? Great Dan! You are so distracted with how beautiful She looks that you aren't even thinking straight.

"Sure." I say. Shit! I took forever to answer her. I must really look like an idiot now. I follow her into the kitchen. I'm handed a cup of coffee. Neither of us talked, and it was very eerie. As long as it is silent, let's practice what I'm going to say. Piper, I love you. No, too blunt. After all these years, I love everything about you. No that sounded stupid.

"How have you been Dan?" She asked. How have I been? Let's see after we broke up, I have been miserable.

"Pretty good. You?" I lied to Her.

"Ok." She answered. We were making conversation now. I don't remember what is going on. Why did I just say that I was sorry about? Think Dan, think! Oh yeah, she just told me that Prue died. That does explain her daughter's name.

"So, P3 has been blooming…"

"I love you Piper! I always have!" I interrupt. CRAP!!! Did I just say that? That was not how I wanted to tell her. What is going to do? She stared at me. The buzzer rang on the oven, but I don't think that either of us heard it. The pitter patter of Prue's feet was heard, but our glare of each other was not diverted.

"You can't do this to me." Was all she said. "It is best if you leave." She pointed to the door, and then turned her attention to her daughter. I leave. She wouldn't have acted like that if she didn't have feelings for me too.

If I get reviews I might just post the next chapter. This will turn out to be a Piper and Leo fic, but not now ( REVIEW PLEASE!!!
