P.S. Thank you for all the encouragement in the reviews. It means so much to me!



Back in San Francisco…

Paige slammed the good witches' Book of Shadows shut. " They have the worst spells in

this realm."

" You can't blame them, Paige," Piper said lazily. " They don't know any better."

Phoebe groaned. " Come on, Piper. This is so boring."

" She's right," Leo reminded them. " With all the good witches in this realm there's got to be plenty of powers for the taking."

" Phoebe?" a deep, masculine voice called. All four sat up quickly. " Phoebe?"

What the hell, Phoebe thought when she peeked into the kitchen. Her heart started beating a little faster when she a gorgeous man looking for her.

" Boy, do I know how to pick 'em," she told her sisters with a grin.

" Just get him out of here," Piper ordered.

Phoebe winked at her older sister as she sauntered into the kitchen." Hey, babe," she greeted him, doing a little hair flip.

He raised an eyebrow. " Phoebe?" the man asked skeptically.

" What's the matter?" she wanted to know. With one sweep she jumped onto him and kissed him passionately. He pushed her off gently.

" Phoebe?" he said quietly. " What's my name?"

Oh, he's good, she thought. Luckily I can read minds. Quick as a flash, she used her powers to look through his head. " Cole. Your name's Cole."

Before he could say anything, he froze. Phoebe whipped around to Piper. " He believed me."

" Sure he did," Piper retorted. " Why do you think his hands are behind his back, holding a knife?"

The middle sister examined his hands. " Oops."

" Kill him," Piper commanded. Phoebe grabbed a knife while Piper unfroze him. Without a second thought she plunged it into his chest.

" Let's get out of here," Leo suggested. Piper grabbed onto him as he orbed. Paige looked at her sister.

" Coming," Phoebe said, not liking the heavy breathing sounds- what's his name? Cole- was making. You're not going soft, she thought. She grabbed Paige's arm and orbed away.
