Afraid of how Prue was going to react the group decided to keep it a secret until Cole had asked Phoebe. So about a three later, after Leo had orbed "up there" Piper and Cole had set out to find Phoebe the perfect ring. They were in a nice jewelry store where there were glass cases everywhere of jewelry and Piper and Cole were standing in front of the ring case looking in trying to decide which ring would be perfect for Phoebe.

"What about that one?" Piper asked pointing to a nice gold platted ring with a princess cut diamond.

"No it's not perfect!" He said with a sye.
"Well we have seen every other ring in the place. Look Cole it's a great ring. Phoebe will love and it will look fine on her. What is the problem?" She argued after almost two hours of ring shopping.
"Because its not perfect!" He argued then he turned from Piper and looked out the window in a gaze. "And Phoebe deserves nothing less then perfect. She's perfect and I want everything to be perfect for her!" Then he turned back to the case and a ring caught his eye. It was the most glorious thing he had ever seen. It was gold with a heart-cut diamond. And small diamonds around the rim. "Oh my god that's the ring!" He said pointing to it in the case.
"Its beautiful!" Piper said looking at it.
They called over the sales lady and Cole bought it for Phoebe knowing how much she would love it. He spent all the money he had made as a D.A. on it. And he didn't think twice about it.
"Oh my god!!!" Cole said looking at the clock behind the check out desk. He was supposed to pick up Phoebe 15 minutes ago! And she was fifteen minutes away!!!
