This chapter, which is quite long, I wrote at a beautifully sunny
pool...palm trees blowing in the wind. I'd just like you all to know, that I
got some PRETTY BAD* sunburn writing this for all of you, because I was too
into it to realize I should reapply the suntan lotion, and let me tell you,
it hurts REALLY bad! I look like a splotchy leopard (hehe, LEOpard) because
of this, so you better review! j/k. But I do love them, as you know.
*by 'pretty bad' I mean I didn't sleep well for days...and I think I am permanently greasy from the over usage of Aloe Vera I've succumb to.
I've decided to make the two little love birds suffer a bit as well, with all the sun in Hawaii...*evil laugh* Don't worry, they have one another to get them through it!
Thanks for the reviews everyone! All you who reviewed in the previous chapters, don't think I don't care! Just thought I'd respond to a few who reviewed 5. :-)
Anjana-love.your.stories! Hah, course Leo is hot! Thanks a lot!
Piper+leo4eva-ah, whoopsies! Ok, my bad...just pretend the plane left the ground THEN the wheels..k? LoL. I know you like fluff, so I think you'll like this chapt! And, savor it too, that's all I'm saying. *evil laugh* just kidding...
Charmed-101-I don't know why it won't work! W/e that's all right. I see we think alike, something along the lines of lotion in this. Hope you like it! I'd write more about but I'd like to get the plot moving along.
Cuttie-Why does he wear flannel? Ok, my theory: see there is a magical potion that Leo put on the shirts that lured Piper to him and made her fall in love with him. Now, that he doesn't wear the flannel anymore, the potion has worn off, but their love is too strong, so they love each other anyways.
Huge-holly-fan-thanks so much! I try. The mush is too fun to write to not.
Mela-Aren't you just terribly sweet? Yes, I think so.
Aureon-there's most chapts up in you're interested. I wish they were still together too, that's why I've resorted to writing them together myself. It'll work out sooner or later.
Enjoy!

Chapter 6- "Honeymooning in Hawaii"
With a loud bang, the plane hit the ground and Piper took the first real breath she had taken in the past 6 hours. She leaned her head onto Leo's.
"You were right." She said, relieved.
"Thank god. I think I would have gotten a lot of grief in the afterlife for that one."
"Oh, you have no idea." She joked.
They stepped off the plane and were greeted with beautiful matching lays. Piper commented on Leo's big, pink one as she proudly showed off her more "manly" blue one.
"I got this because I was meant to do this." He said, taking off his lay over his head and placing it on Piper's, making sure to stroke the side of her face and kiss the tip of her nose in the process.
"Oh, I see, that's how you want it." She said, returning the gesture.
*****
Later that night, after an hour of waiting for their bags, they arrived at the hotel. Walking up to the entrance, Piper took a moment to take in all that was happening. They had been married for months now, but somehow it finally felt official, since they hadn't shared it with the rest of the world until now. The sun was just setting, because of the time difference, and the palm trees were casting a blackened shadow on the horizon.
They decided to get settled quickly and go down to the beach. Leo unlocked the key to their room and turned around to pick up the bag he had put down. Piper slipped past him and started to walk into the room.
"God, this is amazing!" She said excitedly.
"Piper wait! Come back here."
"What? Come on let's get ready so we can go back out."
"Not until you come back over here." He exclaimed getting anxious still standing at the door.
"Fine, fine, what?" She said as she reluctantly walked back to him hands on hips.
He threw his bags into the room and swooped her up into his arms causing her to lose her breath for a moment.
"Tradition Piper." He said as she struggled to get past the door and carry her over the threshold and onto the bed.
"We did do this the first time, at home." She stated laughing.
"I know, but are you saying you don't like the royal treatment." He said as he plopped her onto the bed.
"I'm not complaining sir. Not at all."
Piper got up and kicked off her shows and grabbed a pair of sandals out of her bag. She took Leo's hands, who were at his side lying on the bed exhausted from the day, and tried to pull him up and get him outside.
"Aren't you tired Piper?"
"Leo, look outside," She walked over to the window and pulled open the curtains, exposing a glowing pink and orange sky, "and you want to stay here in the room? It's beautiful."
Leo thought for a second before answering, "It's beautiful, yes, but I'm here with you, and you're even more beautiful. Besides, the sunset will be here tomorrow, at," He glanced at his watch, "8:21."
"So will I." She said, blushing from the compliment.
He pulled her unto his lap and she finally gave into him as he leaned back pulling her on top of him, lowering both of them unto the bed.
"Fine, tomorrow we walk." She grinned as he began to kiss down her neck.
"You have my word."
*****
The next night, after an amazing day with just the two of them, they settled down for a nice romantic candlelit dinner.
He took her hand from across that table and whispered something to her.
"Look around you."
"Yeah?" she asked confused.
"You see all these women?"
She turned around and saw one young, tan women in the skimpiest of outfits sitting behind her, "Yeah, gorgeous. Why?" She replied not understanding the sentiment.
"I was just thinking about how selfish I was to take the most beautiful one in this room and take her away from them. That I got her." He smiled.
"You really have to stop this constant complimenting. It can go to a girls head."
"But what if...it's all 100%, completely the way I feel. Do you want me to lie?"
"No, but I might just start oozing with red from all the blushing I've done in the past few days. You wouldn't want that now would you?"
"Okay." He answered simply.
She sat staring at him. He hadn't said a word in over 5 minutes. "Now you're creeping me out."
"It's nothing, just, a thought, in my head, about...your eyes, and I'm not supposed to say this. Right?"
She hit his arm. "Just shut up." She said smiling.
For the rest of the evening they sat enjoying the delicious food and sipping on their tropical drinks. Their feet were drawn to each other like magnets as they didn't stop whirling around one another under the table. Piper's shoes were somewhere underneath it all and her feet began to travel up his calve.
"Mmmm, try this." Leo said as he took a piece of his dessert on his fork and directed it into Piper's mouth.
"That's amazing. I like mine though." She said savoring the food in her mouth and breaking off a piece for Leo to try.
The lady sitting over at the bar was clearly envious of the two, sitting there, feeding each other with the Hawaiian sunset it the background.
After dinner, Leo stayed true to his word and they walked down to where the ocean waves crashed against the sand.
Leo stopped to roll up his pant legs, and Piper took the opportunity to wrap her arms around him and sit down beside him in the sand. He surprised her by stopping abruptly and sneaking his hand behind her back and lifting her up.
"Come on." He insisted.
She wrapped her legs around him and he ran around the beach with her on his back until he could no longer walk. She jumped off of his back, still laughing and he collapsed onto the ground.
Breathing heavily he said, "That's not as easy as it looks Pipe."
"I'll bet." She said settling into the sand next to him.
It was getting darker and chillier as they laid there. Leo could see Piper rubbing her arms trying to free them of Goosebumps. Wishing he had thought to bring a jacket that he could have given to her, or a blanket to cover them with, he figured he was the next best thing. He pulled her in closer to him so that no skin of hers was exposed to the cold.
"Aren't you cold?" She asked looking up into his deep eyes.
Trying to suppress the blowing air clearly wasn't working, "Freezing." He admitted.
"Let's go back up to the room then, wouldn't want to get sick this week." She decided.
"You sure? I honestly don't care, it could be 10 below and I'd be happy just holding you in my arms."
"Honey, you're shaking." She laughed.
"But I'm shaking in your arms."
She stood up, arms still wrapped around his torso, "Come on, I know something that'll warm you right up."
He jumped up and allowed her to pull him up into a standing position. "And what may I ask is that Ms. Wyatt?"
"Getting you out of this cold and into our warm hotel room."
"Oh, is that all?" He questioned.
After thinking, "Yup. Let's go." She smirked.
*****
The next few days quickly passed by quickly filled with days and nights of happiness and smiles.
Three days before their departure from paradise, they made the mistake of falling asleep in each others arms on the beach mid day, clearly the past few days had tired them out. Leo finally woke up after a few hours and turned around to get onto his other side. He yelped in pain causing Piper to wake up. Leo looked down at his body, one side of which was completely red, as he'd been laying on his side arms around Piper.
As he moved he pressed his hand on Piper's arm, trying to move, leaving a nice white handprint on her burnt body.
"Owww Leo! What are you doing?"
She rolled over onto her stomach and looked down. She shrugged. Leo lightly brushed his hand across her back and she slapped it away.
"You have no idea how burnt your back is sweetie." He said sympathetically.
"You're not much better," She said, trying to get up, "God this hurts."
She stood up, unable to bend over and pick up the things they had brought. Leo gathered it with his left, unburnt arm, and walked beside Piper, very slowly, back to their room.
Once they got that he immediately dropped all of this things and sat down on the bed to inspect his right side. From head to toe, along that side of his body, he was fried. He looked over at Piper though, barely able to walk and got up to help her onto the bed.
"I'll go see if they have any stuff to put on it downstairs. Just lie here, I'll be right back." He stated and wobbled off out the door.
A few minutes later he came back, bottle in hand, "A nice lady downstairs said we could have this." He said as he walked over to Piper who was lying face down on the bed.
"Here let me put some on you, are you okay?" He asked concerned that she hadn't responded to his presence.
"No, not at all."
He untied her bikini top and let the strings fall to her side. He opened the bottle of aloe vera and rubbed it on his hands, which stung horribly because of his own burnt. He leaned over and rubbed it all over her back, arms and neck, trying not to move too much himself.
"Oh, that feels good. Are you hurting yourself though?" She asked as she enjoyed this painful, yet soothing massage she was getting.
"I'm fine, I can do myself after." He answered as he moved down to get the backs of her legs that were terribly burnt as well, "I've never seen anyone get burned here before."
"I must be pretty special than huh?" She said wincing in pain.
"Yes you are. Okay, done. Just lie here for a sec, let it soak in." Leo began to apply some to his own body which wasn't nearly as nice as if Piper had been doing it.
After a while of just lying there, he pulled the blanket from underneath Piper up over her body and got into bed with her. They both fell asleep, heat radiating from their bodies like the sun, and slept for hours in painful silence, Piper lying closely tucked beside Leo's body, trying not to hurt him.
The next two days were made up of essentially the same thing. They didn't move around much and ordered in a lot of room service. They did manage to take a nice cold bath together though, to try and get rid of some of the heat of their skin.
Despite their pain, they enjoyed this time alone together and didn't want to leave it at all. By the third day, their last day together, their burn had worn off enough that they could enjoy their last evening together by taking one last stroll on the beach. Both wearing a lot of lotion and pants and a jacket, they went outside.
That evening, after returning to their room, which had become their home away from home for the past 9 days, they began to pack up their things.
"Do you want to go home?" Leo asked looking up from his suitcase.
"Well..."
He just laughed at that.
"I just hope Pheebs and Prue aren't driving each other crazy. Even though they're getting along better, they've still always had me to play the middle sister."
"It's only been a week Piper, I'm sure they're fine."
"Yeah. I'd like to get home, but at the same time, I think I could just stay here forever." She replied to his initial question.
"Me too," They both went back to packing up there things but a few minutes later Leo continued with his thought, "We'll just have to make sure we can still spend some alone time together, if we can squeeze it in between demon hunting and potion making that is."
"We can, don't worry. But you forgot the endless repair of the manor, especially that grandfather clock. That things been fixed so many times it's a wonder it works at all."
They shared one last night alone, without her sisters, and their occasional boyfriends on either side of their room. But, like all good things do, their vacation came to an end and they were back at the airport once again, this time, Piper was less afraid though. Still, she clutched Leo's hand, who just smiled back at her, making everything seem okay.
Reluctantly, they got back on the plane and headed back to reality, their reality. Which, in actuality seemed more like a fairy tale than this little getaway ever did. But, it was there life, they had each other, and loved it.
~*~*~*~*~
a/n: Wooohoo! Well, that was longer than expected. I had some other stuff for them to do, but perhaps leave those ideas for later on. Hope you liked this chapter and I've got ideas through the next couple. Kind of a little twist, big actually. HUGE, which, I'm not sure what you'll think about, but we'll see! I have chapter 8 done, I was anxious too write it and I'm almost done with 9. However, I still have some stuff to add to 7 so just hang on a few days, it'll be up shortly. There's something wonky going on with my computer, so I'm having trouble typing, but I'll try really hard to get it up early next week after the weekend and such. Review please!
