Chapter 36 - "lets just say i had a little magical aid."

(Halliwell Home)

Cole and Phoebe were awaiting Leo's return. They were starting to get a little worried.

White lights filled the room and emerged Paige, Prue and Bane.

"Where's Leo?" *Didn't he go to you guys?* Thought Phoebe.

The three were thinking of an appropriate and accurate answer.

"Well?" Cole wanted a faster answer.

"He..uh, he went off somewhere..." Prue folded her arms awkwardly, "With Piper."

"Wait, Piper? She was with you guys? How did you get her to come to you?" Phoebe was excited

about her sister making an appearance.

"She was with us, briefly." Said Bane.

"Actually, she saved us. After Leo got her to come when he called out her name." Paige spoke

with a puzzled face.

"She saved you, that's great! So she's on your side... You said Leo went off with Piper, to talk

some sense into her?" Cole couldn't help but question, he was a lawyer. He was also more and more

comfortable with magic existing.

"We wish. I think he was more interested in...catching up on 'activities' they haven't done in a

while, if you catch my drift." Bane could tell that from seeing the look in Leo's eyes at the club.

"What, is that all?" Phoebe put her hands on her knees, "I mean, i can't blame him for wanting that

but he's a Whitelighter now. He needs to put those thoughts aside and focus on getting her back."

Nobody was quite sure what it was that Leo was up to.

James stumbled in from outside. Hiccup. "Hey guys, wassup?" Hiccup.

"James? What are you drunk?" Bane had been drinking buddies with James a few times, so he though

he could tell by now.

"Drunk?" Hiccup. "No, though i wouldn't mind having a drink right about now."

He tripped over a small coffee table. Cole got up just in time to catch him.

"Good catch." Paige complimented.

"Jamie, can you tell us what happened sweetie?" Asked Prue in a friendly way to calm him down.

James sat on the couch. "Um.." Hiccup. "I remembered something Grams had said about Whitelighters.

I don't remember what it is now, my head hurts."

"Well Jame, we need you to try a little harder." Phoebe switched seats with Cole to hold James' hand.

"Okkkay. I used what she - Grams said to write a spell to bring me...to bring me to Piper, yeah.

Piper wanted to be with her Whitelighter, which is L-Le-Leo." James shook his head to keep himself

awake.

"You wrote a spell and it worked? But you're not magical." Cole questioned again.

"No, i also made one of those drinky things..."

"A potion?" Asked Prue.

"Yah! Dats that one. I drank that potion and said the spell," He scratched his head. "..I don't

know what happened after that. I think it sent me somewhere, but i don't know where 'somewhere' was."

James was now upset. Hiccup.

"It's okay James, don't be upset. I think you should try and get some sleep. Maybe you'll remember

more in the morning." Phoebe got up and led James to his room.

"Well that was interesting." Cole commented.

"I didn't know he was practising magic without us knowing. He could've gotten really hurt." Prue

was concerned for him, and also confused by his actions.

"Didn't you or Phoebe notice that he was gone, or in the shed?" Asked Bane.

"No, we didn't. I don't know why either, we should have." Cole felt slightly responsible for it again.

(Leo's Place)

"Oh Leo. I knew you'd make the right choice."

"Piper, i love you."

"So...finally we're together. No one and nothing is going to get in our way." Piper stepped towards

him.

Leo accepted Piper's advance happily. "Amen to that."

"Did you notice? What do you think?" Smiled Piper.

"I think we deserve this." Leo smiled back at her and kissed Piper romantically.

"Mmm Leo?"

"Yes Piper?"

"I was actually talking about the house."

"The house? Oh! The house. Yeah i knew that." Leo blushed.

"Oh honey." Piper put her hand on his cheek. "But now that you've started it, i don't think you

should stop." It was Piper's turn to kiss Leo romantically.

While Leo was receiving his wonderful kiss, his eyes were open - viewing his house.

Leo pulled away after she had finished. "That was great. And so is my house! Piper how did you do

all this? I wouldn't even have been able to pull this off in that amount of time." Leo complimented.

*I wish we could have built it together, but you doing it for me when you thought i was gone, is

satisfaction enough for me. Gosh you're inventive, and i love ya for it.*

"Hmm, lets just say i had a little magical aid."

"A little?" Leo knew it was against his Whitelighter rules to let this go, but he was so impressed.

"Okay maybe more than a little. But it paid off didn't it?"

"Yes it did baby." At that moment, Leo didn't care about the Wiccan rules.

"And so will this." Piper gave Leo a sly look.

Their hands met, and so did their lips. Piper planned to give Leo a tour of the house, whilst getting

back what was rightfully hers - her soulmate.

Piper and Leo were stumbling around the house, looking at the rooms...and also making use of the walls

and furniture as balance.

Leo was so happy about how great his house looked, and even more happier about having Piper back

in his life. Piper could tell that Leo was pleased with the results, and was going to be pleased

by what was to happen, once they reached ther bedroom.

When they finally got there, their tops were missing in previously visited rooms and their hair

was messed up. This room hadn't changed. It was the only place Piper had connected with Leo, more

than any place in the world. The only difference maybe, was the picture of Leo with his award from

the Flying Doctors, sitting in plain sight. That picture was knocked over by the couple and it landed

on the floor, shattering only on the bit where Ginia's face was showing in the backround.

Piper pulled Leo towards the bed and he fell on her.

"Well this is familiar."

"You want to remind me of everything, my Leo?"

"Of course i will, my lady."

As further clothes were removed, Leo could hear the Elders jingling in his head. But it was only faint.

He dismissed it, he could deal with them later and he could have Piper now.
