Time it passes and it tells us what we're left with
We become the things we do
Me, I'm a fool spent from defiance
Yeah, you got me, but
I didn't give up on you

Piper and Leo walked over to a bench, hand-in-hand. They sat down, holding each other.

"This doesn't change anything, you know." Piper said. "I'm still with Dan."

Leo looked confused. "But I thought you just said..."

"I did." Piper interrupted. "And I do. I love you. But I love him, too."

Leo nodded gravely. "So what happens now?"

"I don't know." she admitted.

He sighed. "I'm not going to let this go, Piper. I won't lose you again, not without a damn good fight."

Piper averted her eyes, not saying anything. They sat together for a while, absorbing what had happened. Then, in a slient agreement, they got up and went their seperate ways.

The next evening, Prue was in the very same park, on the opposite side from where Leo and her sister had been.

Prue and T.J. were near the edge of what used to be a forest, and was now a small grove of trees. He was lying on his back on the grass, and she was sitting on top of him.

In the week since she'd met him, she'd only gone into the office twice. They'd told Rex that they were looking over the pieces at his home, but in truth, she'd only seen the paintings once.

"Having fun?" he asked her.

She sighed happily. "When I'm with you, I feel so free. I've never had that."

He looked shocked. "Never?"

Prue shook her head. "Growing up, I always had my sisters to take care of. Come to think of it, I still have my sisters to take care of."

He smirked. "I bet you've never broken a rule your entire life until this week."

She glared at him. "I have so."

He raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah? Ever skipped work before?"

"No."

"Ever show up late or drunk to something?"

"No..."

"Ever show up to your perfect private school with your good-girl uniform not fully pressed?"

"Asshole. Stop mocking me." she said, playfully hitting his shoulder. "And for your information, I went to public school."

"Oh, well, I guess you're a real badass then."

"Shut. Up."

T.J. laughed, and rolled over so she was no longer pinning him down. He kissed her, then suggested that they go back to his place to "look over the merchandise."

Prue nodded, smiling, knowing damn well he wasn't talking about the paintings. She jumped behind him on his motorcycle, and rode off to spend one of the most amazing nights of her life.

A/N: Okay, so that wasn't much P/L, but you hafta give me credit for trying. Right???

A/N2: Some of you have been asking when I'm going to update my other fics. It's not that I've completely abandoned them, but none of them is anywhere near as popular as this one, and I only have so much free time to write, so yeah. Hopefully, I'll have more time as it gets closer to the end of the school year, and I won't get quite as many projects ::glares at teachers::, so I'll be able to finish the other fics as well as continue updating this one. In the meantime, I hope people will continue reading/reviewing my other fics, because lack of feedback is really what led to me dropping most of them to work on this. Thanks again to everyone who's been reviewing my shit, and keep it up. :)
