Phoebe: Coop…
Coop: Phoebe listen to me; you want to know what happened to me?
Phoebe: Yes!
Coop: I was searching for my heart.
Phoebe: Heart?
Coop: Ever since Dante told me that us cupids can't find love, he's wrong. I did find love; I can love now ever since I met you.
Phoebe: Coop.
Coop: Every time I had been putting that inside my head and I couldn't concentrate, so I told you I need to find what I lost.
Phoebe: Yeah.
Coop: I lost my heart and I was trying to find it, yet I found it. (Kneeling down)
Phoebe: (Stunned for what he is about to do)
Coop: (Taking out a ring and holds Phoebe's hand) I love you so much even you can't know how I feel about you.
Phoebe: I know.
Coop: I promised you that you will find love again and you did.
Phoebe: I did you!
Coop: We'll now I'm not leaving you again; I know you were hurt because of what I did, but now it's over. We were meant to be together and this time we will be forever. (Showing her the ring) Will you marry me?
Phoebe: (Shocked) I…I… (Looking up at the apparent mistletoe, then to her sisters and then back to Coop) Not now!
Coop: What?
Phoebe: Can I think about it?
Coop: Of course you can.
Phoebe: I love you!
Coop: I love you too!
Phoebe: You know that what I really want for Christmas is…
Coop: What?
Phoebe: You! (Looking at the mistletoe again) You know since we can't be engaged right now…we can at least share a kiss.
Coop: (Seeing the mistletoe) I see. (Looking back at Phoebe) And you are the only one I want for Christmas.
(Phoebe smiling and puts a major lip lock on Coop; Paige and Piper sees them then Prue is right by them)
Prue: Who is that hunk?
Paige: A cupid.
Prue: A what?

Prue: Wow I missed a lot.
Piper: You're sure did. Thank God you're back!
Prue: I know.

Leo (v.o) I think you guys need to see this!
(Prue, Piper, and Paige head to the front)
Coop: We need to go.
Phoebe: Remember don't tell no one that you proposed to me.
Coop: I will and you will think about it right…I mean giving me an answer.
Phoebe: I will when I'm ready; now let's go and see what are they talking about.
