Forget Me… Not
1. Prologue
"You can't. Not if you're truly neutral, that is. 'Cause you see, if you get rid of us, you'll tip the balance of power from good to evil and now that's hardly being neutral, now is it? You will give me my son back or I swear to you the only thing you'll be doing for the next fifty years is cleaning up after us." That was Piper. "If we do return him, how do you know you'll be able to control him?" the idiot in white asked in his creepy voice. "I'm his mother. If anybody can, I can." Piper said. "You weren't able to before, how do you know you can next time?" creepy dude in white #2 asked. "I can! I'm his mother damn it!" Piper yelled. "I'm sorry" creepy dude in white #1 said and then he and creepy dude #2 disappeared along with Wyatt. Piper stood shocked staring at the space for a minute and then broke down into tears.
It had five years since the cleaners had taken Wyatt away and Piper had shut down and drifted away from her sisters. She had moved out of the manor as it had too many memories and kept reminding her of her son, the only contact she had with her sisters was when they needed the Power of Three. Apart from that Piper didn't fight any demons anymore, she just wanted a normal life, because with a normal non-charmed life no one could be taken away from you by stupid elders and stupid cleaners. You could trust yourself to love someone and not have demons or warlocks kill them.
Piper now lived in an apartment on top of P3 which she still owned, the club was still a huge success and Piper had had enough money to open up her own restaurant too, which had always been her dream.
She didn't know much about her sister's lives apart from the fact that Paige had gotten married to a parole officer named Henry and Phoebe had married a Cupid, named Coop.
Apparently Leo was still an Elder, but it didn't bother Piper much, she never saw him, which was good because it would bring back too many memories of him and her and Wyatt. Which she really didn't need.
Leo had assigned them a new Whitelighter as Chris had gone missing shortly after Wyatt had disappeared. Piper didn't like him though, Josh was arrogant and bossy and kept trying to make Piper fight demons more often and every time he tried to Piper would blow him up and the he would rematerialize and Piper would freeze him and then walk away.
Right as if on cue Josh orbed into the bedroom of Piper's apartment. "No" Piper said without looking up. "Oh come on Piper, there is a handy dandy demon downtown waiting to be blown up" Josh said. "So go buy a bomb" Piper said without looking up from her book. "Ha ha very funny, not, I meant for you to go blow him up" Josh said. "I, unlike you, actually have a life. If you're so eager to have him get blown up do it yourself" Piper said.
"I would if I could, I would actually do something with that power instead of sitting around on your ass" Josh said. "FYI, I am laying around on my ass not sitting" Piper said. "Wyatt would want you to" Josh said. "Do you want to die?" threatened Piper. "Hey missy, I'm already dead you can't kill me" Josh said.
"Says who? There is always a way, I could always borrow a Darklighter's crossbow" Piper said. "Then you would be evil" Josh said with a smirk. "So? I don't care, good or evil, I still won't do anything" Piper said.
"You're so damn irritating" Josh said with a sigh. "Likewise" Piper said and went back to reading. "Well Leo's calling me so I better go, do you want me to say hi for you?" Josh asked. "Why? He never does anything but sit up there on his lofty perch. He didn't even notice when Wyatt conjured the dragon!" Piper said angrily. "Whoa, go unleash your women hormones on some other unsuspecting dude!" Josh said and orbed out before Piper could unleash anymore of her women stuff on him.
Afterwards Piper sighed and closed her book and got up and ready for work.
Piper arrived at her restaurant about twenty minutes later. "Hey Dave, where's Jaime?" she asked as she put her apron on. "She called in half an hour ago saying she was sick" Dave said as he finished the two bowls of spaghetti and gave them to the waitress who was waiting at the counter. "Table 15" Dave said to her and she nodded and took the plates over to a couple sitting at a table.
Piper blinked. For a minute there the girl looked like Prue. She just dismissed it as mistaken identity. After all it couldn't be Prue. Prue was dead as a doorknob. Or a garden gnome…
"Piper, Table 15 says the noodles are Fettuccini not Spaghetti like they asked" the waitress said. "Well Dave, prepare some ice cream and lots of drinks, throw in another spaghetti, this time with Spaghetti pasta" Piper said. In about 3 minutes Dave had served all of it up and handed it to Piper who went out into the dining area of the restaurant to table 15 and set the plates down on the table.
"So sorry for the inconvenience, we have thrown in some free drinks of lemonade of you can change them if you want, plus some chocolate ice cream, all on the house, enjoy" Piper said and then looked up.
"Prue…"
