Chapter 2

________________________________________________________________________________________

That night at the P3...

The club was totally packed like any other night with a big line up of people outside waiting to get in. The band for the night were playing with people dancing to the music.

Almost everyone was there. Piper and Leo was sitting at one of the sofas that were at the club, Chris and Matthew the first in such a long time were having fun dancing, Paige and Phoebe was around wondering club somewhere, Bryan was working at the bar and Aaron was sitting at the bar to keep his boyfriend company and John and Michelle was nowhere to been seen.

At the bar Bryan was busy serving people and Aaron was sitting at the end of the bar table drinking a soda. A minute later two young women about their mid-twenties, wearing revealing clothing came up to the bar and order two drinks. As they waited, they looked around and spotted Aaron sitting there.

"Hey there cutie, alone tonight?" flirted one of the women.

"Nope. Sorry to burst your bubble but I'm not." replied Aaron as he looked at them.

"Oh? How about ditching them and come with us. We're much more fun." flirted the other.

"Sorry but you're not my type, besides I'm not leaving them for anything in the world."

Then Bryan came back with their drinks and placed them on the counter top.

"Here you are ladies, enjoy." and Bryan watched the scene in front of him in amusement.

"Oh, come on just one night of fun." persuaded the women closest to Aaron.

"Bryan! Could you come here for a second." called Aaron and Bryan walked over to him.

"Besides you have to ask my boyfriend here first." the wind element said to them and turned to his boyfriend and give him a quick kiss on the lips.

The two women just looked at the couple with their jaws dropped and Aaron turned to them and smiled. The two flirts recovered and walked away saying that cute guys are either taken or gay.

Then Paige appeared and sat down next to Aaron and Bryan went off to serve another customer.

"Hard to get the ladies away huh?" teased Paige.

"Very funny." and Aaron took another sip of his soda.

"Where is John and Michelle anyways? I haven't seen them yet." Paige looked around.

"They're coming. They just had a little bit of a problem getting John's cousin to come. When Bryan and I lefted the house, he was making excuses of not coming tonight."

"Why?"

"No idea." Aaron stopped and looked over Paige's shoulder and saw his other two friends coming along with another, "Here they come now."

Paige turned around and spotted the two teens coming towards them along with a guy. He was a bit taller than John, in his mid to late twenties and was handsome. He had medium color skin, brown hair and strong body build. As the trio heads towards them the guy was around looking around nervously like he was watching out for someone.

"Hey guys." spoke Michelle as she and the other two arrived where Aaron and Paige was.

"Well finally!" said Aaron as he looked at the group with his soda in hand.

"So John, who's this?" asked Paige as she gestured to the cute guy that was with them.

"Couz, I would like you to meet Paige Matthews. Paige, my cousin Dan Gordon." introduced the Earth elemental.

"Hi." both them said the same time and shook hands.

"Hey Dan." greeted Bryan who now was back over with the group when he saw the others show up.

"So they manage to get you to come." smirked the water elemental.

"Are you okay?" asked Paige as she noticed Dan's nervousness.

"I'm fine, it just that I haven't been here for a long time and meeting with some old friends, I'm not sure how they will take it." answered Dan.

Seeing that Paige was staring at Dan with much interest, John decided to give them some alone time to get to know each other.

"Michelle lets go and dance. Dan, why don't you keep Paige here company and get to know her a bit more." and John walked towards the dancing crowd taking his girlfriend along.

"Ah...John!" Dan called out to his cousin but he was lost in the crowd.

Seems to know what John is doing Bryan decided to help, "Damn there is no more voldka left, I need to get some more." as he look at the drinks that was stocked up at the bar.

"I'll gets some!" volunteered Aaron.

"Thanks, you should find a case back in the storage room." directed Bryan.

"I'll be back." and Aaron left.

"Sorry I can't keep you guys company but I got customers to serve." and he was gone.

"It looks like they were trying to get us together." putted Paige see the only two of them left.

"Well John does has intentions of always setting me up with someone seeing that I haven't dated anyone for quite a while."

"So then, you want to go and dance?" offered Paige.

"Sure." and both left for the dance floor.

A few moments later, Aaron came back with a case and set it onto the bar counter and Bryan came over to him.

"Thanks, love." and he took the case and started to stock up.

Aaron sat back down, where he was before and Chris and Matthew came up and beside him this time and sat down next to him tired.

"You guys have fun?" asked to wind teen.

"Yeah, first time in ages." replied Matthew a bit out of breath.

"Want anything to drink?" asked Bryan who came over to them.

"Coke for me." said Chris.

"A Sprite please." answered Matthew and Bryan left to get their drinks.

"Hey, you two want to join Michelle and I for movie night tomorrow?" Aaron asked suddenly.

"Movie night? Whats that?" asked Chris.

"Its something that me and Michelle do back in highschool before we met Bryan and John. You see I met Michelle in my martial arts class and everything Saturday night we go to either ones house and rent martial arts movies from chinese to japanese to english seeing that we have nothing to do.

And since tomorrow night Bryan will be working at the club and a good chance that John will be staying late at the museum, I thought you two might want to watch movies with us." explained Aaron.

"You do martial arts?" asked Matthew.

"Yeah, my parents thought I could use it for self defense, so I chose to do chinese martial arts. So how about it?"

"Chris?" and Matthew turned to his boyfriend.

"Sure." Chris agreed and shrugged.

"Here you drinks." and Bryan handed the couple their sodas.

"Thanks." thanked both of them.

A while later, Chris and Matthew was still at the bar table with Aaron still talking and get to know one another better. They were half way through their drinks and John and Michelle followed by Paige and Dan joined them.

"You guys are back. Hey Michelle, Chris and Matthew decided to join us on movie night." informed Aaron.

"Really? The more the better."

Chris noticed Dan who was with Paige, "And this is?"

"Oh, let me introduce you. Guys this is my cousin Dan Gordon, Dan I like you to meet Chris Perry and Matthew Halliwell." introduced John.

At Matthew's last name, Dan eyes widen.

"Halliwell?"

"Is something wrong?" asked Matthew.

"Do you know Piper Halliwell?"

"Piper? Yes she my......cousin." told Matthew. He tried to cover up his real relation to her just in case the guy knows his mom well and would be hard to explain if he said he was her son.

When Matthew told Dan that he was Piper's cousin, Paige and Chris just stared at him with a 'I just can't believe what you just said' express.

"You know my sister?" asked Paige curiously.

"Your sister?"

"Half sister actually, same mom different dad."

"Oh. We were.....friends back when I lived in San Francisco."

"You never told me." putted John.

"Well, heh....."

"Why don't we go see her, she's here tonight and I bet she would be surprise to see you." suggested Paige.

"Surprised? You could say that, I don't think that is a good idea." Dan said for an excuse.

"Oh, come on!" and Paige grabbed hold of Dan's arm and started to drag him through the crowds of people.

Matthew and Chris got up from their seats and decided to follow, so did Aaron as well as John and Michelle. They went through the crowds of people and eventually found where Piper was at with Leo. When they arrived, Piper was talking to Leo on the sofa and Phobe was with them sitting in the loveseat.

"Guys I would like you to meet..." Paige started.

"Dan!" Piper yelped in surprise when she turned and saw her ex-boyfriend and Leo and Phoebe just sat there with a surprise expression as well.

"Huh, yeah Dan." finished Paige.

"You back! What are you doing here?" asked Phoebe.

"I'm here visiting my cousin, John."

"You're John's cousin?!"

"Yeah."

The others along with Paige sense the tensions between them and wondered what was wrong. Knowing that Piper and Leo want to talk to Dan, Phoebe got up and made a suggestion.

"Paige why don't we get something to drink? And the rest of you come too."

"Again?" said Aaron.

"Yes all of you, come on." and she directed Paige towards the bar with the others following again.

Once the other were gone, Leo was the first one to talk.

"So Dan, you back. What is the real reason you're doing here."

"Like I told you or John, that I'm visiting him and as well making amends with you two."

"Amends?" questioned Piper.

"Yes, amends. I just want to say I'm sorry to you two, especially Leo for what I had done in the past."

"Thank you for the apology but I kind of forgot the things you did, but if you're here for Piper....." started Leo.

"No, you don't have to worry about that. My feelings for her had died and I have gotten over you, Piper and the only feelings I have for her now is a friend. I know you two love each other and I won't get in the way of that. So maybe we could be friends again, could we Piper?" asked Dan hopefully.

"If that how you feel, of course we can. Right Leo?" Piper asked her husband.

"Of course. Friends would be great."

"Thanks and besides, from what I heard from John and the other that you guys are married." smirked Dan.

"Yes and we have a baby boy too." smiled Piper.

"I would like to see him sometime if you guys don't mind."

"Sure why don't you come by tomorrow and see him."

"Thanks, I would like to." thanked Dan.

"So Dan, are you staying here for long?" asked Leo.

"I thought that after visiting my cousin for awhile and seeing you guys again I would leave but after meeting Paige, I'm not so sure anymore."

"I see, why don't you stay here permanently. I mean there is no reason for you to leave since we're friend again and I think that Paige would want you to stay as well." suggested Piper.

"Well maybe, I'll think about it."

--------------------

At the bar table, Phoebe had explain the situation between Dan, Piper and Leo to Paige and the others.

"Ex-boyfriend?!" said Paige and Matthew at the same time.

"Yes and now I'm not sure whats going on between them right now." commented Phoebe.

"Well that explains why Dan was nervous being here and the tensions between him, Piper and Leo." said John with a understanding look.

"I wonder how they're doing right now?" wondered Aaron.

"Lets go and find out, we given them enough time to talk."

And the group left the bar again and headed back towards Piper, Leo and Dan. When they arrived Piper, Leo and Dan was talking to each other like old friend.

"So is everything ok between you guys?" asked Paige.

"Yes don't worry we're friend again and I bet Phoebe had told you all about us?" said Piper and the others nodded.

"Good then everything settled." sighed Piper.

"So Dan you're not here to...." pressed Phoebe.

"Don't worry I've gotten over Piper and we're just friend again. I have an interest in someone else now." Dan said who was now looking at Paige.

John went over to Piper and whispered to her, "Does he know you guys are..."

Seeming to know what John is talking about them being witches, Piper answered, "No, he doesn't. Does he know you're..."

"No." replied John.

"Good." putted Piper.

"Enough sitting here chit chatting, lets go have some fun!" suggested Aaron and everyone went off to do their own thing.

--------------------

Later at the P3 it was way pass midnight and everyone was gone. Leaving Leo, Piper, Matthew, Chris, Bryan and Aaron to clean up. Phoebe had left earlier to check on her nephew as well getting to work the next day and Aaron didn't. Paige had left with Dan earlier to a coffee shop somewhere to get to know each other better. John and Michelle left because they had work the next day as well. Piper also had dismissed the others who worked at the club leaving the six of them.

Bryan along with Piper was cleaning up the bar table, well the rest was cleaning the place up. After they were done cleaning and had put everything away, Piper did a last minute check on everything before they close up.

Piper locked up everything and started to leave with the others when they heard a scream.
