Hey! Sorry this is late, the site has been down all day! Thanks a million for the feedback, and more's always appreciated. I did get my first bad review the other day, did phase me a little bit, said it was the stupidest story ever, which it probably is, but I like writing it, I think a few of you like reading it, so carry on folks! Like I said from day one, any comments good or bad are welcome, but it would help more if there were suggestions to anything negative, how to improve...otherwise it just makes me sad! Ha.Ha.

Piper and Leo are of course, my favorite couple, as you know. HOWEVER, I also am a HUGE Phoebe and Cole fan. I just can never write Phoebe and Cole very well.

Anyway, this chapter contains a Phoebe/Cole plot, well actually, more of an underlying plot, not much really, as it's so short. You P/L lovers, don't worry, it's still their story, I just couldn't not mention what Phoebe had going on and everything. I figured, I had like a MASSIVE Piper and Leo mush story in chapts 5 and 6, that I could space it out. All you knew people who are reading this, please don't abandon me because it's not full of them in this chapter, this is still a piper/leo story. Fully.

******Note- my plot is starting finally...you'll see!*****

Charmed Amber: Thanks a ton, I feel so "favorite'ed" if that's a word lol. Me, talented, author, in the same sentence, means a lot!

Piper+Leo4eva: The twist, well...okay, I'll be honest, it's kind of weird for the next 2 chapters, but I promise it will get pretty interesting, at least I hope so. Don't give up on me now...

Chub: Glad you like it, sorry for the delayed update! It's here though!

xXxRTxXx: Saw your update...it was great. :-) You were the 51st reviewer actually, close enough! Wow, can't believe I have 57 reviews, means sooo much! So happy!!!

Anjana: Haha! Yeah, Leo is all of those things, and we don't get to see the Piper/Leo real romantic stuff on the show, so I guess writing about it is 2nd best! After reading the lack of fluff in this, feel free to read the last one again LoL. More soon though. Promise.

Sci Fi Fan Gillian: Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Mela: Ohh, Happy birthday! As a belated gift it seems Leo wants to wish you a very happy birthday. Wow, that sounds stupid seeing as how I have no control of Leo, as he is not mine. Um. I can type it though. Leo said smiling, "Hope you had the best birthday ever!" hehe.

Charmed 101: More sun block. Got it! Thanks a lot, I did have a great time, was fun. I didn't however, enjoy writing this chapter so much, so dunno how y'all will enjoy reading it. I need to set some stuff up though.

Chapter 7 ~ "Charmed by the Demon"

Piper and Leo had gotten back to the manor in the middle of the night and had been sleeping ever since. Prue had the day off and Phoebe, who had been spending a lot of time with her old friend, was actually home today.

When the two honeymooners finally made their way downstairs, walking hand in hand, still wearing their pajamas, they found Phoebe busily writing in the Book of Shadows.

"Woooah! Hold on, what are you doing there Pheebs?" Piper asked worried as she grabbed the marker out of Phoebe's hand.

"Ouch! Lot's happened since you guys left ya know. It wasn't exactly sunset strolls and margaritas for all of us last week."

"Was Alex okay?" Leo asked.

"Who's Alex?" Piper questioned.

"Our temp-lighter, if you will, yes he was just find. In fact, I think he took quite a liking to Prue, and her too." Phoebe let out.

"Is she gunna be okay once he goes back?" Leo thought worriedly.

"I'm sure she'll be fine. They were just a little flirty, that's all. I think it was good for her. Other than Jack, I haven't seen her like that since Andy died."

"Um, can we talk about the love bunnies here later? What's with the BoS?" Piper said anxiously.

"Oh, right. Well, this demon," She said pointing to the book at the name she was writing, "Attacked us, and we kicked some serious demon ass, and now I'm warning future Halliwell's, just in case."

Piper leaned over to see the name, "Argatan?"

"That's what I could grasp at least, it's what he said while we tortured him." Phoebe said in her baby voice, jumping out from the seat.

Leo nodded, "Did Alex ask the elders about him?"

"Yupp, they were as clueless as we were."

Piper turned around as she heard feet shuffle in, expecting to see Prue, she was very surprised.

"Speaking of demons..." She turned back to Phoebe, "Cole's back?"

"Did I forget to mention that?"

"Hey! Did you guys have fun on the honeymoon?" Cole said walking towards Phoebe to give her a kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah, lots of fun. So um, you think you got rid of the last of the bounty hunters?" She asked.

"Not quite sure actually. It's still not that safe for me to be here, on ground. I couldn't stay away... from her," He added, catching himself stumbling, "Anymore though," He said turning towards Phoebe.

"It's probably not for that long, they'll be back." Phoebe reluctantly whimpered.

"Welcome back buddy." Leo sad patting his arm.

"Glad to be back."

Interrupting this little love fest, "I should go say hi to Prue, I'll be back in a minute. Is she downstairs?" Piper questioned.

"Yeah, developing some pictures from a shoot on Friday."

*****

Piper walked down the basement steps looking for her big sister.

Prue heard and looked up, "Hey sleepy head!" She said running over to her giving her a big hug, "We missed you around here. Don't leave again."

Piper smiled, "Phoebe seemed pretty occupied. When did Cole come back?"

"Right after we vanquished this really random demon, actually."

"Interesting." Piper thought.

"Okay so anyway, how was your trip?" Prue grinned.

"Amazing, until we got burnt and confined to our rooms" She laughed.

"I'll take it you and Leo enjoyed your alone time. Was it beautiful there?"

"You can't even imagine. I've got some pictures if you want to develop them later."

"Definitely, I wanna see what you guys were up to."

"It was just, unbelievable, just so romantic. Everything about it was just perfect. I don't think that's every happened to me before." Piper smiled.

"Well I'm glad, you two deserve it more than anyone."

"Yeah," Piper said, her mind wondering back up to the kitchen where Cole was.

********

Leo had gone upstairs to change leaving Phoebe and Cole alone in the kitchen.

"What's with Piper?" Cole asked feeding Phoebe a piece of his melon.

"She's probably just in a bad mood because she actually has to come back to reality after being in paradise for so long." She joked.

"I'm serious Phoebe."

"I know you are. But just forget about my sisters, okay? You're with me, not them." She said leaning into kiss his juice covered lips.

"Mmmm...okay, Prue?"

She playfully hit him.

"Oh, with you, NOT them, okay, got it. Try again, one more time." Cole said just waiting for another kiss from her.

One again she kissed him, more passionately than before. "Cole?"

"I love you..."

She backed away slowly, smiling. "Phoebe," He finished.

*********

"You okay Pipe?" Prue looked at her like she was crazy.

"Uh, yeah. Just, has Cole done anything, you know...odd? Since he came back?"

"No, not at all. I know you think I don't trust him, but I swear I'm really trying, for Phoebe." Prue defended.

"It's not that, I'm starting to think maybe you were right. I mean, when did the demon attack?"

"Tuesday. Why?"

"When did Cole come back?"

"That night. After we killed him."

"So a demon that the elders and the book of shadows both know nothing about attacking the same day he comes back..."

"Now you're just looking for trouble. The two have nothing to do with each other." Prue lectured.

"You're right. You're always right." Piper stated.

"Of course, and I am this time, I know that now."

"Right," Piper answered slipping in quietly...

"Hopefully."
