Just Harried
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the charmed characters they all belong to Aaron Spelling productions except Melissa.
Authors Notes: This is my series of charmed going from season two to seven all stories will be the same as that on the show except seasons two and three, which will class as one year because of Dan and Cole the rest will continue as normal.
Note: My stories will be a little different but still have the same outcome so the episodes fit together. All the characters of charmed including Andy Trudeau who didn't die Darryl Morris Source will be recurring characters as well as Cole who worked for the Triad. I'll be using spells from the show and some I create myself in these stories they'll be different but have the same affect and better sounding.
Extra Note: This episode's the same as Just Harried except for a few added and changed scenes like Melissa instead of Prue Astral orbs outta her body Dan knows about Leo's past and tries to stop Piper marrying him Cole and Melissa talk about what happened in Primose Empath Victor Bennett Penny & Patty Halliwell will be in here also a guy named Adam is Melissa's love interest instead of TJ and the place where Melissa's soul orbs to is Eddie's Bar not Will's.
Episode Nine
Dinning Area Friday Twelfth April
Phoebe and Melissa are putting a floral arch in place for the double wedding Grams' spirits standing nearby.
Phoebe:Okay that should do it.
Grams:UmI'm thinking a little more to the left uh is this the biggest arch you could get?
Phoebe: This quickly yes with Cole back the source could attack at any time which is why we're having a double handfasting tomorrow so we don't have to wait around booking the church band reception and priest.
Grams:Well just remember if loves the quest then marriages the conquest this place must be like victory.
Melissa:And here I thought weddings were supposed to be romantic Grams.
Grams:Oh my dear sweet child.
Phoebe:Better listen to her Mel you could always calculate her age by the number of rings on her fingers.
Melissa laughs.
Melissa: Okay I'll take that under advisement let's see now wedding arch's done.
She ticks something on her list.
Melissa: The next thing on my.
She yawns
Melissa: To do list's.
Phoebe:Sleep you've been yawning all day and it's your birthday tomorrow you wanna be alright for that right?
Melissa: I'm more concerned about the wedding than my birthday aunt Phoebe I've a ton of stuff to organise still.
Phoebe: Mel you can't forget your birthday you're meant to celebrate it.
Melissa: And I will after the wedding I just don't want any hitches happening.
Phoebe: There won't be any hitches and if anything happens we'll deal with it.
Grams: She's right sweetie.
Melissa: Alright I'll see you two tomorrow morning.
Grams: Goodnight honey and if I don't see you before the wedding happy birthday.
Melissa: (Smiling) Thanks Grams.
Melissa orbs to the attic just as Prue and Piper come in looking around.
Piper: Was that Mel orbing away?
Phoebe: Yeah she's just going to bed.
Prue: Now? It's no wonder she didn't go earlier what with her yawning all day.
Phoebe: Try all week.
Piper: All week?
Prue: Yeah well what with planning the weddings in a hurry and checking the evil radar it's no wonder she's been tired.
Grams: That girls taking on too much.
Phoebe: I know we've tried telling her but she won't listen because she thinks it's her duty to protect us.
Prue: Yeah Mel hasn't even had a moment to herself.
Grams: Well hopefully once the weddings are over she'll return back to normal now whaddya you two think?
Prue:It's-it's beautiful.
Phoebe:Yeah and the best part its happening.
Piper sighs.
Piper:Flowers bows and Grams the only thing missing's.
Prue:Mom.
Piper:Grams you sure you can't do...
Grams:No nothing I'm only here because you need a high priestess they want me back by the witching hour tomorrow.
Phoebe:I thought maybe this could help.
Phoebe holds up a photo of Patty.
Prue:You okay?
Piper: Yeah I just I can't believe how close I've come to sabotaging our own wedding.
Phoebe:Whaddya mean?
Piper:Well with demons attacking us left right and centre and the source wanting us dead maybe it wasn't meant to be.
Grams:Oh darling there's no need thinking that way you and Leo are meant to be just as Prue and Andy are meant to be.
Phoebe:Yeah and I will personally butt kick any demon who tries to ruin it for you.
Phoebe yawns.
Phoebe:Well look at me now I'm doing it I think I'd better go I'll see you all tomorrow.

Melissa's Soul: It's simple really everyone puts money into the pot.
She sticks $20 dollars in an empty beer glass beside her.
Melissa's Soul: We start drinking and the last one standing wins unless you're afraid you can't hold your liqueur.
Biker One: Hey I've been drinking longer than you bitch I can hold my liqueur.
Melissa's Soul: Then let the games begin.
A guy standing next to them pours two shots of burbon into their glasses which they chug straight down them.
Time Lapse
Melissa's soul and biker one are still drinking.
Melissa's Soul: Ready to give up?
Biker One: Never.
Melissa's Soul: Really you don't look so good your eyes are dilating.
Biker One: Hey I don't need you doctoring me okay I'm fine just keeps drinking.
The same guy earlier pours two more shots of burbon into their umpteenth glasses which they chug down biker one starts feeling weird.
Man: You okay man?
Biker One: Fine I just need to pee.
He tries standing up but falls over before he can the guys around him start laughing.
Melissa's Soul: The guy couldn't hold his liqueur what can I say.
She stuffs her money down her bra and gets up to leave a cute guy called Adam approaches them her clapping.
Adam: Well done you played marvellously.
Melissa's Soul: All thanks to you I don't suppose you want something for helping me right?
Adam:You could say that.
Melissa's Soul:Well if you want it you'll just have to win it of me like the rest of them.
He grabs her.
Adam:Maybe I should take it.
Melissa's soul places four fingers against Adam's neck.
Melissa's Soul:Maybe I should cut the blood flow to your brain instead of asking you to leave me alone because you've no idea who you're dealing with.
Adam:Maybe you should show me.
She kisses him.
Melissa's Soul:Hi.
Adam:Sorry I'm late.
Melissa's Soul:Yeah so am I because now I've gotta go.
She starts walking off.
Adam:No I want you to stay.
Melissa's Soul:You know I can't right.
Adam:Why because you never have time for yourself that's what you say every night then you cut out.
Melissa's Soul:Adam I'd love to say for five minutes to hell with it but I can't I've come a long way from home to save my family and that's what I'm goanna do.
Adam:Which you've been doing for months and still this thing hasn't attacked yet what if he never does you'll be throwing your life away for them I mean why can't you just blow them off for once and do something for yourself?
Melissa's Soul:Because unfortunately Adam I don't have the luxury.
She kisses him and walks off.
Adam:Well atleast tell me your name then.

Cole: But I liked the kiss okay when we did it I felt something I didn't know what at first until Phoebe told me about the future and us and the fact I've got kids as well as a son which you conventionally forgot to tell me.
Melissa: I didn't tell you about Alex and Maggie or us because it would've affected your decision going with Phoebe and if that happened Ben wouldn't exist which I wouldn't screw up.

Prue: Piper wait think about this.
Hallway
Piper puts on a sweater.
Phoebe:Piper you can't just leave.
Piper:Yes I can a demon I could've handled but my own daughter ruining my wedding I cannot handle that.
Prue:Okay just listen for one second I'm sure whatever's happened we can sort it out.
Piper:No I don't wanna find a way to get married on my wedding day it's-its too hard there must be a reason.
Leo walks over to them.
Leo:Piper.
Piper:Leo I'm sorry but this is the final straw it's clear now I see we just weren't meant to be.
Piper walks out the front door.
Living Room
Andy's caring an unconscious Melissa the others follows him.
Andy: It's alright I've got her.
He places her gently on the couch.
Prue:I've never seen Piper so defeated.
Leo sits on the other couch whilst the others stand around Prue crouches down trying to shake Melissa up.
Prue: Mel? Come on honey wake up.
Phoebe: I don't think that'll work like last time.
Leo: What do you mean last time?
Victor: Phoebe?
Phoebe: Mel's being feeling freaky since past week.
Prue: Yeah we know that.
Phoebe: Well the reason why's because her souls being astral orbing outta her body.
Cole: Come again?
Phoebe: When we into Mel's future she told us when she first became half white lighter half witch her soul astral orbed outta her body because she couldn't accept herself being different as it changed her life stopped her having friends made her leave dates because of family emergencies etc.
Prue: Yeah but Mel accepted she was a witch so why she's doing it again? And why doesn't she remember?
Patty: Because she wanted to escape for other reasons and because her soul cast a forget spell before she astral orbed back into her body so her permanent self would forget what she did.
Grams:If the weddings off I've gotta go I'm only here to conduct the ceremony I'm sorry.
Grams disappears.
Victor:Maybe Piper's right maybe the wedding just wasn't meant to be.
Patty:Victor.
Victor:All I'm sayings maybe the gods are just trying to spare them the pain that we went through.
Leo:No all I needs what's inside of me to know that Piper and I are meant to be together just as Prue and Andy are.
He stands up.
Leo: What's happened here today.
Andy:Piper and Leo's love has touched us all we've gotta fix this.
Darryl's pager beeps.
Darryl:I gotta go fend of the parse.
Victor:Parse what parse?
Darryl:Your granddaughters wanted for murder I'll stay in touch by cell phone.
Darryl leaves.
Patty:(Shocked)Murder?
Leo:(To Phoebe angry) you knew about this?
Phoebe:I only just found out when Darryl told Mel but it's obviously a mistake Mel wouldn't murder anybody.
Cole:You sure? I mean her souls seems to have taken a life of its own how do you know she didn't do it?
Phoebe:Because I know my niece Cole she'd never do that it's not in her.
Cole:Oh right.
Phoebe:At least I think I do.
Prue:Alright mom dad find Piper bring her back somehow Phoebe and I will look in the Book of Shadows see if there's a soul summoning spell that'll bring Mel back Cole you Leo and Andy do a little investigating of your own alright guys come on we've got a double wedding to save.
The gang all go there separate ways.
Eddie's Bar
Cole shimmers in and Leo orbs in with Andy.
Cole:Hmm interesting place to meet a guy.
Leo:Especially for Mel.
They start to walk around.
Andy:Based on Darryl's description someone must've knifed the victim after Mel's soul astral orbed away.
Leo:By the looks of this crowd it could be anybody.
Andy:No not anybody very few humans have the heart of a true killer one who kills without prejudice.
Leo:How do you know?
Andy: When you've been a cop for as long as I've you know these things.
Cole: He's here.
Leo: The murderer? How do know?
Cole:I can always sense it before I suppressed my demonic self for Phoebe I can sense how human killers form inside that and the fact he's got fresh blood on his hands you'd better update Darryl.
Andy phones him on his cell phone
P Three
Patty and Victor walk downstairs
Patty:Just let me do the talking you always said the wrong things when they were young.
Victor:Wrong according to you, you never opened to what I had to say because you wanted to raise them as witches.
They see Piper sitting across the room.
Victor: Instead of little girls.
They walk over to Piper.
Patty:We were worried.
Piper:I'm sorry I let everyone down.
Victor: Honey you've nothing to apologise for.
Patty:It's a tribute to you and Leo that you made it as far as you did.
Piper:Yeah but we didn't make it all the way.
Patty:Not yet maybe but.
Piper:Not ever I mean I think its obvious Leo and I are clearly not.
Patty: Destined to be? Oh I don't believe that if you and Leo weren't meant to be Mel wouldn't be I mean to have a child like that it takes that kind of love.
Piper:And look what happened with you and dad seeing that and what could happen if I marry Leo I mean as Halliwells we're blessed as witches but cursed as women sometimes I think we're all destined to end up alone.
Patty:You don't really I mean just because Victor.
Victor:You think your mother and I were cursed?
Piper:Don't you?
Victor:Honestly I look back at those days as the best of my life I loved your mother she was the best thing that happened to me until the three of you came along.
Piper:But your marriage didn't last still.
Victor:Yeah and that hurt a lot but it was our love that gave birth to you and your sister's maybe that was my destiny just like as yours and Leo's is.
Piper:I'm sorry I just need to be alone.
She walks away.
Patty:Not bad for a guy who always says the wrong things.
