Pandora of Ithilien-I probably will give him siblings (but he might not like them) :). You'll be seeing more of teen Cole as well.
cherrylilly- I also posted it on Maybe you saw it there?
As the sisters arrived, Phoebe ran up to Cole.
"Why didn't you tell me that that was why you turned evil." she asked
"I-I didn't think it mattered. As long as I was evil, I was evil."
Paige rolled her eyes.
"Why are men so stupid? This changes everything. We thought you chose evil because your mother was evil, not because they did that to you. That's why. Or, at least, that's why I didn't trust you."
"I thought you didn't trust me because of the source."
Paige sighed.
"That's what I wanted you to think. I was really distrustful of you because that entry of belthazor in the book. I know the source wasn't your fault. I just...needed a reason."
"So you don't hate him anymore?" asked Piper.
"I never hated him, but yes, I trust him more now."
"Thanks. It really means alot." said Cole. "I..I'd better go."
Phoebe smiled at him.
"Alright, I'll call you. Soon." she said.
He smiled and then headed out the attic door. God, he thought Phoebe must be one forgiving woman.
For the entire week, Phoebe missed Cole. She was already so ready to let him into her life, but she decided to give Paige some more time. She didn't even want to know how miserable she'd be if she had let him rot in the wasteland.
Cole, meanwhile, was getting his life back together. He explained to his job that he wasn't feeling himself when he choked his secratary, and that he hadn't had sleep for some time. His secratary admitted that he wasn't acting normally, calling her 'phoebe' saying things like 'I'm not evil' and 'Your wrong', so his boss gave him his Job back on the condition that he gets enough sleep.
Paige was sitting at the kitchen table sipping coffee while Piper cooked.
"Paige, Piper, I'm gonna call Cole today."
"Alright, thanks for letting us know." said Piper.
Paige just yawned.
"So long as I get enough caffeine so I won't fall asleep while I say 'Hi'" said Paige
Phoebe laughed and went for the phone. She tapped in a number.
"Hi, it's Phoebe." she suddenly became very red. She paused for a while. "He he...yea. Can you put him on? Ok...Hi! Cole, it's Phoebe. So you wanna meet me at the Manor after I get off work? Alright, bye."
"What happened?" asked Paige.
"His secratary picked up. Last week, when barabos was driving Cole crazy, he choked his secratary because she looked like me and in his mind she kept saying 'you're evil, I hate you, I'll kill you' and well...he mentioned my name during it and she reminded me that it might be safer to stay away from him."
Paige laughed, and Piper rolled her eyes.
"Well, I think, now, knowing what we know it makes that you hating him would be his worst fear." said Piper
"Why?"
"Well, all his life he's loved people, but they all left him or hurt him. His mother tortured him, his father died and well, now that he found someone he loves as much as you, deep down he's afraid it's going to turn up like all the others. And you can't blame him, he doesn't have any experience with love turning out O.K."
"Well, this love is. Alright guys, hate to cut this short but I gotta go to work."
"Alright, bye hun." said both piper and paige.
"Bye"
Phoebe was just opening the car door when some one came behind her.
"Phoebe? My name is Mylie.I need your help."
She turned around to see a woman with shoulder length blonde hair.
"Then write a letter, like everyone else."
"No, I need magical help. I saw the poster and I reconize you as a charmed one. I'm a mermaid."
Suddenly it began raining and Mylies legs becam a tail.
"Uhgg...oh no" she cried.
"Get in the car" said Phoebe. She picked the woman up and put her in the car, but her tail stuck out.
As Phoebe was driving a woman stood in front of the car. Phoebe just run her over, but she came out fine, behind the car.
When Phoebe got home she saw Cole on the front porch.
"Cole. I got a problem."
He smiled.
"Magic?"
"Yep...Mermaid."
"Hmmm...She's in the car?"
Phoebe nodded.
By that time, Mylie tail had dried and once again became legs. Mylie went inside and Phoebe gave Cole a kiss and told him to come in before she went and called her sisters.
"Piper! Paige!"
Piper and Paige came out from downstairs. Piper looked shaken.
"Who's that?" asked Paige
"I'm Mylie. You must be the other 2 charmed ones. See, I need your help. I'm a mermaid. I'm not evil or anything."
"I've heard that before." said Phoebe.
"But I just need your help. You see, I made a deal with a Sea Hag. I wanted to know how love was. So she made me human. If I find love, I can become human and live with him. If I don't,I die and she gets to take my immortality. But I found love. At least, I think I did. I know he loves me. But..he won't say it."
"Well, I don't want to go after this thing if we don't have to. Maybe we can convince him to say he loves you." said Piper.
Paige shot them strange glances.
"Piper, Pheebs, can I speak to you in the kitchen?"
Phoebe took Cole's hand and lead him in there, too. Piper followed.
"Piper what is wrong with you?" asked Paige
"I...I just don't want to go after this if I don't have to." said Piper
"I agree, She's pregnant. " said Leo.
"Why? What's up with you? Why the sudden fear? You know, I heard about something in the book just like this sea hag and-"
"I know," interupted Piper. "It killed mom."
"Oh." said Paige.
"It's O.K. You didn't know."
" Maybe it's better if you just convince this guy to tell Mylie he loves her." suggested Cole.
"Ok, but if that doesn't work, we fight." said Paige.
Piper nodded and they headed back to the living room.
When they got to the living room they saw an old woman with long gray hair.
"The sea hag!" cried Paige. "Piper, freeze her."
Piper tried to but her powers didn't work. Afraid, she ran behind the couch and hid. Cole threw a few fire balls at the sea hag, but they bounced off her. Phoebe and Paige both went for a attack but she waved an arm and all three where covered in water, unable to move.
She grabbed Mylie and left. As soon as she was gone, the water disappeared and Paige, Phoebe and Cole where once again able to move.
"Piper! That was not the time for a panic attack!" yelled Paige, wringing her hair dry.
"I.I'm sorry." Said Piper. Phoebe noticed that Piper was trembling.
"Paige, I'm sure she feels guilty enough already. Paige, you try and get this boyfriend of hers over here. Cole, Piper and I will try to find Mylie."
