I do not own any of the Charmed cast or anything like that ( Plainly fiction please remember that. However Phoenix, any other small characters and the story it's self came from my little mind.

Prolouge

Cole slumped farther down into his chair so he could rest his head on the back of it. Sighing in he closed his eyes, trying to forget about Phoebe. It wasn't working; every thing reminded him of Phoebe. He found himself comparing other females to her, thinking about her at work, and he saw her face in the oddest of places.

"Sir would you like some coffee." He looked up and planted the cheapest grin on his face. "Yeah, Sorry um got lost in thought."

The young blonde smiled her self, and began filling the small cup with coffee. Placing the pencil behind her ear, she grabbed a left over plate from the table next to her. "Hey I have been their. Day in and Day out can't blame ya. Let me guess. and ex?"

Letting out a soft chuckle he nodded slowly, taking a sip of the hot coffee. "That obvious?"

"Nah, I do the same thing so I know how it looks. My ex. he is well unique. One of those ones you want out of your life, but then automatically want him back." She gives him a side way glance, wiping down the table next to him, a disgusted look on her face as her fingers touched old pieces of hamburger.

"Aaa, I have the classic story. Wife hates me thinks I'm evil and I still love her." Phoenix stopped washing the table down, and gave him a side ways smile. He let the thought settle in his mind of how she resembled Phoebe. He shook his head, not wanting to compare the young woman to Phoebe. He needed to get over her, and he would, he just wasn't sure how.

"Aaa, how can anyone think that face is evil?"

He smiled politely at her, as she did the same and she continued on to the rest of her tables, seeing the boss beginning to eye her.

Back at the Manor.

Piper pulled the pan full of cookies out of the oven and placed them on the kitchen table. Taking off the mittens she grabbed the pan and headed into the family room, where Phoebe lay on the couch. Blanket covered up to her neck, and candy wraps and empty pop cans and tubs of ice cream lay around her, as I love Lucy played on the television.

Sighing loudly, Piper sat down on the edge of the couch. Taking the cookies, she offered a few to Phoebe, who took three in her hand. "Hey Pheebs."

Phoebe nodded her head in Piper's direction but besides that, she continued to lie their and watch the tv. "Come on Pheebs, why don't we go shopping or something. We haven't had a ladies day out in awhile."

Phoebe politely shook her head no, before reaching for the remote control. Flipping through the channels, she found an old episode of Buffy and left it on. "Phoebe you can't spend the rest of your life on this couch. It's not safe in this house for you to be down on yourself. If it matters to you I will go call Cole... maybe if I explain things." Phoebe reached up and pulled Piper back down on to the couch with her, as Phoebe let out a huge sigh.

"No I don't want you to call Cole. Things are finally normal."

"Phoebe you're a Halliwell. NOTHING will EVER be normal. Talk to Cole, you guys still have a chance to work things out."

"No we don't Pipe. I can not love someone evil."

"Phoebe he isn't evil no more. Hell you loved him more WHEN he was evil. You can't give up on him because he's evil, or you're afraid he will make you evil again. Phoebe you were happy with him, you love him, and you need him."

Phoebe shot up from her sitting position, causing the blanket to fall to the floor. Hands flying, her voice began to raise and tears were beginning to form in her eye, but she fought them back.

"Piper you have no clue what I want or need or love. Just because you and Leo are this happy couple doesn't mean everyone else is. He tried to kill me Piper. He tried to kill you and Paige as well. I just miss Miles, that's all. So stay out of my damn business. This is my life not yours!"

Piper looked hurt but sat their starring at Phoebe. Standing up, she grabbed the blanket off the floor, and gently placed it back on the couch, and grabbed her plate of cookies. "I.um understand. You need to do something; I don't feel like being turned into a walking fire ball because when a Demon attacks you don't want to miss a Buffy episode." She had never raised her voice, and was quite proud of herself she managed to hold back the tears. Taking in a deep breath, she walked past Phoebe and into the kitchen. ~~

Flipping through an old, dusty book Paige gently tapped her foot to the punk music playing in the background. She bounced slightly on her bed, singing along with the words and trying to read at the same time. She didn't hear the sound of his orb, but when the blue lights began forming in her room, she knew Leo wasn't far behind. Reaching over to the small dresser, she turned down the radio, so the music was now softened.

"You know I could have been changing. Ever think to orb OUTSIDE the door and knock?"

"Would a Demon knock?"

"If he knew what was best for him." With a slight smile, she dog-eared the book and set it down on the bed. Leo stretched his neck to see the title. "Where you find a book about Wicca Spells?"

"I found it cleaning out the attic. I think its moms, or grams."

Taking the book, Leo flipped it around a little, and wipped off the cover of dust. "No actually, it's Prue's."

Paige smiled softly, and grabbed back the book, and tapped the space on the bed next to her. "You're here to analysis what I am reading?"

"No I am here because I have a message from the Elders."

"Where are Phoebe and Piper?"

"Well honestly Phoebe isn't in the mood to here anything right now, especially this, and I ain't to sure I know how Piper is going to react. I want to figure out a few things first before we tell them. I really need your help."
