One Sunday night Prue, Phoebe and Phoebe's husband, Leo were in the living room, watching a movie. Suddenly Piper walks in mumbling to herself. "I need a handyman and I need a bartender." Piper said as Phoebe approached her. "What's wrong, Piper?" Phoebe asked. "I need a handyman and a bartender for the club. And I need them like yesterday." "I can help." Leo suggested. "Thanks, but it won't work." Piper said. "Why not?" Prue asked. "It just won't work. I'll put an ad in the paper." Piper said. As she went upstairs to her bedroom.

"Wasn't that rude." Phoebe said as they watched Piperclimb the stairs. "Didn't she have a date with Dan?" Prue asked. "I thought she did."

Upstairs, in her room, Piper was writing the ad for the paper when someone knocked on her door. "Come in." Piper called. "Piper, didn't you have a date with Dan?" Prue asked. "I broke the date. I had a few last minute things I had to take care of at P3." "Why don't you want Leo to help you?" Phoebe asked. "I'm sorry Phoebe, but I need a full time handyman and bartender. It won't work." "You're right." Phoebe sighed. "What about Dan?" Prue asked. "Prue, don't make more out of this than there is. I had work to do. Now I'm going to sleep. Good night." Piper said as she ushered Prue and Phoebe out the door.

The next morning Piper got up extra early to run all her errands. "Morning Piper, you're up early." Phoebe said as she poured a cup of coffee. "Morning Pheebs. I have to run a few errands before I go to P3." "Like what?" Prue asked as she walked into the kitchen. "Just a few errands. Now, I have to leave if I'm going to get my ad in this morning's paper." Piper said as she walked out the door. "Something's bothering Piper." Prue said. "How do you know?" Phoebe asked. "Well, she never leaves the house this early. I wonder what it is?"

Piper made it to the newspaper office just in time to get her ad in the morning's paper. Then she headed for P3.

Back at the house Prue and Phoebe were trying to figure out what was bothering Piper when the doorbell rang. When Prue saw that it was Dan she saw a chance to find out what was wrong "Come in, Dan." Prue said as she pulled Dan into the house. "Where's Piper? I need to talk to her." Dan said. "She already left." Phoebe said. "Wait!" Prue said as Dan started for the door. "I need to know what's going on with you and Piper!" "That's none of your business!" Dan shouted. Then he slamed the door.

Dan made his way to P3. He felt that Piper was lying to him.

Piper just finished interviewing a young man when Dan showed up. "Dan, what are you doing here? Can't you see that I'm working?" "We need to talk. Just you and me." Dan said. "Fine. Only not now. I'm working." Piper said. "I'll wait." Dan said as he sat at one of the tables with his paper. Piper was so angry with Dan that she didn't hear the next applicant's arrival. "Excuse me, Miss Halliwell." A voice said. Piper looked up to see a gorgeous, dark haired blue eyed guy. "I'm sorry. I didn't hear you." Piper said "Name's Cole Turner. I'm applying for the handyman/bartender job." "That's two jobs." Piper replied "Why pay two people when I can do both jobs." "How about I hire you, on a trail basis, say about two months. If it works out then you're hired permanently." Piper suggested. Cole smiled. "You got a deal Miss Halliwell." "Piper. Call me Piper." "Only if you call me Cole." :"You got a deal." Piper said as they shook hands. "Be here at 7:30, tonight." "Thank you Miss. Piper." Cole said.

Dan witnessed the whole conversation and he wasn't very happy. "Why did you hire him?" Dan asked as he walked to the bar. "Why not?" Piper asked. "I don't like him." Dan angrily said. "You don't even know Cole." Piper argued. "Oh, so it's Cole now. On first name basis already." "Dan stop it!" Piper exclaimed as she turned and walked away. "Piper come back her!" Dan yelled after her. "Stop yelling." Piper said.

Dan realized that they need to discuss their problems, calmly. He was sure that he could get Piper to see that he was right about everything, including firing Cole Turner.

Cole couldn't believe he finally found a job after months of searching. Okay, it's on a trail basis, but it's a job nonetheless Cole thought to himself. As Cole fixed his dinner he thought about his new boss, Piper Halliwell. God, she's so beautiful. Long brown hair and beautiful brown eyes you could drown in. Boy I'd like to get to know her better but I won't jeopardize my new job.
