Sooo.. Summer.. 2007) but that was as far as it got. And never finished either. But in doing some clean up today I found it and thought.. hey why not finish it…so here it is…

Missing Scene from 'The Good, The Bad and The Cursed'

~~~ ~~~~

Eat drink and be merry. This is what they did for over two hours. Celebrating the new life two would soon start together.

Every now and then Prue would cast a glance to catch Phoebe laughing with Cole. Her memory of what had happened in the alternate plain still fresh on her mind. Cole had helped her make things right, but in the end his true nature came out. As she had come in at the end of the fight, she had seen him vanquish the cowboy. That aside, she knew her sister and she was always one to find the good in people. Both her sisters did

Piper leaned towards her sister, "You ok?" she asked quietly.
"Hmm? Yeah I'm good." Prue replied as she reached over and gave Piper a hug" I still can't believe my little sister is getting married before me."
"Yeah well, you're just picky." Piper gave Prue a smile before she followed her sisters' gaze. "She's ok you know."
" I know. I just…"
"Worry? I know." She laughed at Prue as she started up and stared to clear off the dishes.

~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~

Phoebe and Cole had got up from the table not long after Piper and Prue had and started towards the foyer.

Cole found himself lost in a feeling he thought as a demon he would never know or feel. And he found it in a witch. One he was sworn to destroy. One of three he had heard about all his life. Powerful witches destined to destroy everything he knew. And now like her he fought for good.

"I should go."
"Stay." Phoebe locked eyes with the man she loved.
"I'd love to but I can't. I'll be back…soon." He placed his lips to hers taking in any love he could at that moment. "I love you."
"You too." She could almost feel the shimmer, as he left her standing at the front entrance of the old Victorian, alone.

~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~

Prue watched in silence as Phoebe and Cole kissed and he then shimmered away.

She felt the arm drape around her shoulder and she leaned into the love that was there as she looked up and met her fathers gaze.

"Thank you for protecting her. For saving her."
"Always will." She replied though not leaving her place against him, as she watched Phoebe standing there now alone.

Victor looked across the room to see his baby girl, "She loves him you know."
"I know. Doesn't mean I'll stop to worry." She replied as she turned her attention back to Phoebe. "Thanks for being her with her"
"Always my little girls; no matter what." He placed a kiss on the top of her head before picking up some plates and started back for the kitchen

Prue took a deep breath and walked from the dining room to the foyer. Wrapping both her arms around her youngest sisters' waist from behind, she then rested her chin on Phoebes shoulder, at the same time drawing her sister close. "You ok?"

Phoebe hesitated to answer, as she leaned into her sisters' love, " Yeah. Thank you."
"Just doing my job. Protecting you." Prue answered though not moving or letting her sister go.
"And you do it well." Phoebe said as she gave her sister a weak smile.

They stood there a moment before Prue once again broke the silence; "I was so scared of losing you. Everytime Sutter struck Bo. Everytime I saw the pain on Bo's face. When I heard him scream,when I took that bullet out of him with my power. I saw and heard you. I knew it was you that would feel that same pain."

Phoebe didn't say anything as she tightened her own arms around the ones around her waist.

"And I knew in order to break the curse I had to let Sutter capture Bo and nearly kill him. Knowing it would kill you too." She closed her eyes to the memory of the pain she knew her sister had gone through. "Cole tried to tell me it would cost you your life. He was so determined to save you. At any cost."
"He loves me." Phoebe said not moving.
"I know... Now."

Phoebe twisted in her sisters' arms and looked into the ice blue eyes that looked back at her. "I love you. And I can never repay what you did for me."

Prue held a finger to her sisters' lips, "Don't. I promised Mum a long time ago I would watch out and protect you and Piper. I did and I always will." She pulled Phoebe into a hug as she placed a kiss on the side of her sisters head, "I love you Phoebe."
"I love you too Prue." she replied as she nestled into the crock of her sisters neck, taking in a love that was always there and always would be, no matter what.

Well I do hope you enjoyed that lil tale. Something I say, I wrote back in the summer of 2007, sitting waiting for tourist to take the shuttle back to the hotel. Hehe. Guess I have something to be thankful for at the Accent Inn.

Happy New Year too all.

Stay Charmed
