A/N: I have to ask. Does this make any of you guys miss Season 1 Phoebs, Piper and Leo as much as it makes me miss them? I really didn't like the changes in any of them between here and S8—they all looked better, but personality-wise, I prefer these so much more—these are the ones I fell in love with when I first watched the show!
CHAPTER TWO
I couldn't wait to hear your answer, but I was disappointed:. "Who knows. I'm late for work, bye" I heard a kissing sound, so I snooped in the window. You were turning to leave, but Leo grabbed you around the waist, pulled you back and planted a big, fat, wet one right on your lips! YES! Then as you two said your good-byes, I quickly ran for the bus stop, not wanting you to see me..
Unfortunately, you were right about everything going south. No sooner was Prue at Buckland's than her new boss, Rex Buckland, accused her of stealing a priceless tiara from the auction house! And no sooner did she tell us about it than both Andy and his partner Darryl Morris came over trying to find it! And you had to keep freezing them before they did, because it kept bouncing around! After they left, as we tried to figure out what to do, since it was obviousthat some warlock was trying to set Prue up, Leo walked in, wanting to know what the police were doing at our house. You put him off, then he asked if he could go upstairs and fix the bathroom sink
I told him to knock himself out, but then after he was gone, I asked you two, "Did anyone ever think that maybe he's a warlock?"
You sighed impatiently. "Why is it always someone I'm dating that gets accused of that?" Then you quickly added, "Don't answer that!" and as the phone rang, you added, "Answer that. It's safer."
But it wasn't. It was Rex, wanting to know about the tiara. Prue managed to put him off while you ran upstairs, hoping to look in the Book of Shadows and find the warlock who was setting up Prue. Later you told us that you were very surprised to find Leo in the attic, not far from the Book! "Leo!" you cried out, "What are you doing? I thought you were going to fix the sink!"
It was his turn to look embarrassed, like the kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. "Yeah, I was, I-I mean, I am. I just, uh, I need to fix a light downstairs and I was hoping there'd be some old fixtures up here that I could cannibalize. Listen, uh, there's something I need to tell you. Something I don't think you're gonna like. Uh, I might have to leave here soon. I might have to go back home."
You were shocked and hurt, but you managed to ask, "Is home far away?"
He nodded. "Yeah, it's pretty far. I mean, I don't know for sure yet, but, uh, you know, I wanted you know, just in case." You thanked him, then he decided that he better get back to work.
Later, after we helped the police catch the true thief--Prue's boss, Rex Buckland, who wasn't really Rex Buckland at all, but a warlock pretending to be Rex!--thanks to a spell that we found the Book opened to, you came running down the stairs, tears in your eyes.
When we asked what was wrong, you told us that you were up in the attic, trying to figure out how the Book had been opened to that page. Suddenly you heard a familiar voice say, "Knock, knock." When you turned, saying Leo's name, he told you, "The front door was open. I hope it's all right. I left my tool box."
"That's funny." you replied. "I don't remember that being there last night," and he replied, "Yeah, well, you know what Freud always said about leaving things..."
We all smiled at that saying, "That you secretly wanted to come back for it." and you nodded, saying that he said that he was guilty.
"Oh, don't use that word." grumbled Prue and you apologized and I first smirked, then asked you to continue.
The tears started flooding your cheeks again. "I asked him if he was leaving and he said he was afraid so,"
"No!" we cried as we surrounded you and hugged you.
You nodded. "I asked him if he really had to go and he replied that he'd fixed everything he came here to fix. But he said he'd be back, promise, that nothing could keep him away from me Then he grabbed his toolbox and left."
"Huh?" I asked. "I've been here in the foyer all morning. I never saw him come down the steps, How did he get away?"
"I don't know," you replied. "But, at least he wasn't a warlock."
"Hey," I cried as inspiration hit me. "You don't suppose Leo was the one who opened the Book to the right spell?" Prue looked at me as if I was crazy. "No, I guess not," and as we hugged you tighter, you agreed. No way could Leo be any one but a very nice guy, right?
