Loving the reviews.

Piper and Leo are meant for each other but the course of true love is never going to be smooth.

On her way to the nursery, San Francisco's most popular and expensive school, Piper went into the drug store.

"Can I get some strong flu medicine please and is this the most accurate test you stock?"

"No ma'am." The girl behind the counter said. "This one is much more accurate."

"Good." Piper said. "I'll take 4 of them. I want, no I need, a flu medicine that will knock out my 14 year old little sister."

"This one ought to do the trick. Is there any thing else?"

"No, just that, thank you."

"Your sister got this bug that's going around?"

"Just complainingitus."

"Ha!" The assistant laughed as she gave Piper her change. "Sounds like my little girl at that age, a normal teenager. Give her a double dose of the medicine if you want some peace. It's perfectly safe."

"I'll tell my Grandmother. Thank you for your help."

Piper existed the store quickly and got back into her car, tuned the radio to her favourite station and drove to the nursery in a strange numb daze.

After a brief whispered conversation with Cassy's teacher, Piper took Cassy out to her car and started to drive towards the Halliwell mannor.

"Piper." Cassy said with puppy dog eyes. "Can we stop for ice cream?"

"That's a fab idea Cassy. I would love to. But I have to drop Phoebe's medicine off at the mannor. Leo's gona be there too."

"What time are mommy and daddy coming home tonight?"

Piper bit her lip; she'd been dreading this question. She most certainly did not want to answer it while she was driving, or until they got back to Cassy's own home. Where she could control any possible temper tantrums.

"Leo's going to be at the mannor." Piper said again. "Let's keep him waiting. Wana go shopping? Then get some ice cream?"

"Yhea. You really like Leo don't you?"

Piper nodded instantly going bright red.

"Do you love him?"

"Mmm-huh." Piper blushed even more.

"Are you going to marry him?"

Piper laughed nervously.

"Are you?"

Yet more nervous laughter escaped from Piper's lips.

"Are you?"

"We'll have to wait and see what happens Cassy."

"Do you want to marry him?"

Piper stared at the red light will it to change, her knuckles tuning white as her grip tightened on the steering wheal. She had no idea how this little five year old was making her feel so uncomfortable. It was now impossible for Piper to stop the nervous giggles escaping from her lips.

"Do you?"

"Are you going to help me pick out some new clothes?"

"Yup." Cassy nodded. "What do you want to buy?"

"Some stuff to make Leo's jaw drop." This conversation Piper could handle. Clothes were a wonderful distraction, even a god send today. "Some low cut tops, tight ones, really tight, hipster jeans,"

"Tight?" Cassy smiled knowingly.

"You know me far too well child. The tightest."

"What else?"

"May be a sexy dress or however many we find, some dazzling bits of jewellery, and some funky little belts."

"New ear rings?"

"But of course sweetie. I have all that money from my birthday and work burning a whole in my bank account."

"And some bracelets?"

Piper nodded as she navigated her car towards the mall.

"A night dress and laundry?"

Piper's jaw hit the floor. Where on earth had Cassy, a 5 year old, picked that up from?

"You ever say any thing like that in front of your parents," Piper said still in deep shook. "And I am dead."
