Disclaimer: I have no contact with the cast or crew of "Charmed". This story is of my own making.
Author's Notes: This is the second "episode" of my fictional sixth season. The "episode" before this was "The Other Sister". I've written it so you can basically understand what happens even without reading "The Other Sister", but if you want to get a more in-depth reading of what happened between the sisters, or Piper's forgetfulness of Leo, I suggest you read that one first. If you have any questions about my stories, please email me so I can answer them individually. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!
6/14/2004: I added a preview for the next story "Forgotten Memories" to the chapter after the last, in case you haven't read it yet. If you want to know what happens, read that story next. I hope you will find it very interesting (I know I do!).
TEASER
Phoebe stood outside Piper's room. She raised her hand, as if to knock, then hesitated and lowered it. Moments passed as Phoebe stood, staring at the door, as if waiting for something. Then, Phoebe raised her hand as if to knock again, but, then, dropped it another time. She sighed then walked down the hall toward her bedroom. Phoebe disappeared into her bedroom and closed the door. However, after a few moments, she ran out again and stopped in front of Piper's door. She continued to stare at it.
Paige came to stand near Phoebe. Phoebe didn't even acknowledge that she was even there. They both stared at Piper's door.
"Phoebe?" Paige asked tentatively.
"Huh?" Phoebe answered, distractedly.
"Are you having a starting contest with Piper's door?"
Phoebe snapped out of it. "Oh, I'm sorry, Paige. I'm just trying to decide whether or not I should go in there." She motioned towards Piper's door.
Paige replied, slowly, "Okay. Should I even bother to ask why?"
Phoebe sighed. "Oh, you know because of the whole 'Piper doesn't remember Leo' thing. I'm just really worried."
"Don't tell me she still can't remember him. I thought you talked to her!" Paige exclaimed. Paige hadn't really talked that much to her sisters in the past two weeks. She still felt a little weird around them ever since the whole ordeal with Kevin. So when Phoebe told her about Piper losing her memory, Paige decided to let Phoebe handle it and not to interfere. Too bad that Phoebe hadn't handled it.
"I did!" Phoebe replied, defensively. Paige looked skeptically at Phoebe. "I mean, I tried, too. I don't know. For some reason, I'm just not getting through to her."
"What do you mean you're not getting through? All you had to do was remind her of Leo."
"It's not as easy as it sounds, Paige. Piper keeps-"
"Come on, Phoebe," Paige interrupted again. "All you had to do was tell her that he was our whitelighter, her husband, and Wyatt's father. She'd have to remember then."
Phoebe answered vehemently, "I swear I did. She still can't remember. I don't know whether to go in there and talk to her, shake her, or-"
Paige cut her off. "Let me solve your problem real quick."
Phoebe just shrugged. She had tried her best with Piper, but it just wasn't working. She decided to let Paige find out for herself.
Paige raised her hand to knock, but she hesitated, like Phoebe. Paige had had the most trouble talking with Piper the past two weeks. And she wasn't even sure whether or not she was ready to talk with Piper.
"Well?" Phoebe asked.
This is more important than how I feel, Paige thought to herself. She knocked on the door to Piper's room.
"Come in!" Piper yelled.
Paige and Phoebe opened the door and entered Piper's bedroom. Piper was getting ready for a date that she had that night. Piper was still in her bathrobe and held two dresses in each of her hands.
"Hey, Piper," Phoebe greeted. "You still getting ready?"
"Yeah," Piper answered. "It's been so long that I've been on a date that I'm not even sure what to do anymore."
"Yeah, Piper. About that-" Paige started.
"Oh, and I just wanted to thank you, Phoebe. If it wasn't for that talk you had with me a couple of weeks ago, my agenda for tonight would've consisted of playing Peek-a-Boo with Wyatt and watching a rerun of "I Love Lucy".
"Uh, yeah," Phoebe replied. "That's, uh, great... that you followed... my advice." She cleared her throat as Paige glared at Phoebe.
Piper smiled. "Okay. Which one do you think I should wear?" Piper held up a black strapless dress. "The sexy, flirty one?" She held up a baby blue, spaghetti strap dress. "The innocent girl-next-door one?"
Paige and Phoebe glanced each other, worriedly. "Uh, Piper?" Paige began. "We need to talk to you."
"Sure." She laid the two dresses down on the bed. "What's up?"
Paige was unsure of how to start. "Well, uh, I-" Phoebe nudged Paige. "I mean, we, feel that there is something wrong here. More specifically, there is something wrong with you."
"With me?" Piper asked confused. "Why do you think that?"
Paige decided to just jump to the chase. "Because for some reason, you seem to have forgotten Leo." Piper continued to look confused. "Piper, he was the love of your life! And you have just forgotten about him!"
"Love of my life? What are you talking about? Who's Leo?"
Paige looked in frustration at Phoebe. Phoebe didn't say anything.
"Think, Piper," Paige continued. "Who have you been married to for almost two years?"
Piper laughed. "Married? Are you feeling okay, Paige?"
"Believe me, Piper, I'm not the crazy one here. Just try to remember, Piper. Leo was our whitelighter. You guys fell in love. You guys got married. You and Leo even had a baby. Think about it, Piper. Who is Wyatt's father?"
Piper looked at Wyatt, sleeping in his crib. Piper stared at him for a while, as she tried desperately to remember who was Wyatt's father. She sat down on her bed as she realized that she couldn't. "I-I don't remember," she finally replied.
Paige smiled with relief. "Okay, now we're getting somewhere. She looked at Phoebe in triumph, as if to say "I told you so", but Phoebe didn't respond because she knew that Paige hadn't won yet.
"So you're saying that this Leo guy..." Piper asked slowly, "is my husband?"
"For almost three years now," Paige responded.
"And Wyatt's father?" Piper continued.
"Yeah!" Paige was happy that she had finally gotten through to Piper. And that she was talking to her. Talking to her like this had almost made Paige forget the whole trial with Kevin. Almost.
Piper continued to sit, as if trying to process the information. Then, she stood up and picked up the two dresses again. "Okay, guys. So which one do you think I should wear? The sexy, flirt-"
Paige looked at Piper in shock. "Did you not just hear a word I said?
Piper was confused. "About what?"
"About Leo!" she responded in frustration. "Remember? We were talking about Leo."
"Who's Leo?" Piper question, puzzled.
Paige groaned in frustration. Phoebe couldn't help a little smirk, knowing that Paige had been proven wrong.
"I told you s-"
"Don't even say it."
