A few days after Prue's death:
Piper sat in the corner of her room, just rocking herself as tears streamed down her face, "I can't….I can't….I can't…." Leo orbed into the room, "Piper, it's time. The funeral starts in about an hour. We have to go." Piper looked at Leo, so handsome in his black tux. She didn't want to go to the funeral; she didn't want to admit to herself that Prue was gone for good. "No. I can't…I just can't." Leo walked over to her, and rubbed her back, "I know it is hard, but we have to go." Piper stared at the blank wall a few feet ahead, "No." Leo started to pull Piper up, but she openly refused, "No. You healed the wrong sister, and now Prue is dead." She began to cry hysterically, and hit Leo against his chest, "Leave me alone! Now!" Leo looked hurt, but knew how much pain she was in, "Piper…Don't do this." Piper looked at Leo, "What? Do what, Leo? Cry for my dead sister?" Leo looked shocked, "Of course you can mourn Piper, but shutting your husband out is not the way to do it." He gently hugged her, "Piper…Everything is going to be OK." Piper shook her head, "How, Leo?...How?" Leo shook his head, "We will get through this together, deal?"
A few months after Prue's funeral:
Destiny Awaits
"Phoebe!" called Piper from the bottom of the stairs. She was beautifully dressed in a tight, strapless dress. Piper looked at the clock for the fourth time in the last half hour, "Come on Phoebe! We are going to be late!"
Piper tapped her foot impatiently, and then heard a voice behind her. She quickly turned around, and saw a very handsome man staring at her with blue eyes, "Hey handsome." Leo laughed, "Well, if you insist…" He smiled suggestively as he wrapped his arms around her waist, and swayed to inaudible music. Piper laughed, "L-e-o…"
Phoebe came down the stairs in a long, baby-blue silky dress. She smiled warmly at her brother-in-law, "Sorry, am I late?" Piper smiled, and then rolled her eyes, "As if you didn't know!" Phoebe stopped at the bottom of the stairs, "Cole! We are going to be late!" Cole hurried out of their bedroom with his tux jacket halfway on, and his tie undone.
"Sorry, I know I am late, but I just cannot get this stupid tie fixed." Phoebe put her hand to her mouth to stifle her laugh, "Come here. Let me do it." Cole went over to Phoebe, and kissed her lightly, "That's why I love you." Phoebe straightened his tie with her white, gloved hand, and then looked into his deep blue eyes. She blushed a deep crimson red, and then hid her face a little behind her long, brown silky hair. Cole looked longingly at Phoebe, and pushed her hair behind her ears. Piper and Leo glanced at each other, each hoping that they could separate Phoebe and Cole before they made passionate love right then and there in the middle of the hallway. Piper cleared her throat, "Ahem…Let's go; we are going to be late!" Leo softly laughed, and wrapped his black-sleeved arm around Piper's slender waist.
Piper reached her hand out for Phoebe to take, and Phoebe quietly giggled, "This is going to be so much fun!" She then smiled, and slipped her small hand into Cole's strong grasp. He gently squeezed her hand, and then Leo looked around at everybody, "Ready to go?" Everyone nodded their heads slightly. They disappeared in a brilliant blue/white light, as Leo orbed them to Paris for a romantic evening.
