Disclaimer: I don't own them, I just like to have to fun with them.

A/N: Takes place immediately following Piper and Leo's wedding. The wedding scene is a recreation of Just Harried. Patty has been returned to the girls for a period of 24 hours.

Grams stood proudly before Piper and Leo, "You may face each other, join hands... Uh, Leo, you may recite your vows."

Leo smiled at Piper as he started to speak,"Piper, through all the tears and struggles, I always knew in my heart that we'd make it here. I promise to love and respect you from this point forward as your husband, as my wife, my lover, my friend, and my soul mate. All I am is yours".

"Piper..." Grams directed.

"Leo, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was afraid that you were too good to be true, that maybe I didn't deserve someone so pure and beautiful and loving as you are. But here we are surrounded by the people that I love the most and I feel so proud, and so blessed to be your wife. Leo, I was born to love you and I always will". A magical cord appeared in Grams hands, "Here before witnesses, Leo and Piper have sworn their vows towards each other. With this cord, I bind them to those vows". "Heart to thee, body to thee, always and forever, so mote it be".

"So mote it be". Grams replied inviting the family to join "So mote it be".

Prue hugged her upper arms, watching as everyone congratulated, Piper and Leo on their wedding. Piper never looked so beautiful she thought through pursed lips, neither had Leo, but ugh, what a day! She couldn't believe that she had been a center of what could have ruined Piper and Leo's happiness forever. Her inner desire couldn't have picked a worst time to try and escape. The thought that her Astral projection had just raced out on the back of some young hunks bike disturbed her deeply.

Am, I that deprived of happiness, that I would want to completely ruin the best day of Piper's life?" she didn't know. TJ, the guy with the bike was so different from every other guy that she had dated; so wild and unkempt, never the type of man she would actually consider marrying. The only man she ever dreamed about doing that with was dead. "Let's not bring that up again," she berated herself

Seeing that everyone was taking interest in what was left of the cake (the cake that Prue had help destroy), Prue trudged slowly up the stairs toward the attic, still holding Piper's bouquet in her hands. She wanted to be alone she relented opening the door, to dust filled room where she plopped herself down on the old couch. "I wanted so much to be the first one to getting married" she sighed picking at the flowers, but all she had ended up with was shotgun marriage to a demon who was after their powers.

"And perhaps you should have been," a voice echoed. Prue looked up to see, Patty standing in the doorway. "Mom, I didn't see you standing there". Casually, Patty walked over to the couch and took a seat beside her oldest daughter, "Oh Prue, I'm so sorry that life has been so hard on you" Patty said repeating what she had said earlier in the day when she had first arrived. "It's not fair, that you've had to give up so much of your own happiness, to the protect family"

"I'm the oldest, that's what I do. I know I'm not suppose to be happy and in love like Piper and Phoebe. We saw that when we went to the future," Prue replied offering a sad smile. Patty shook her head, as she reached out to brush a fallen hair away from Prue's face, "the future can be changed."

"Mom...I don't-"

"Don't say anymore and come with me" Patty ordered, rising to her feet. Reluctantly, Prue took her a hold of her hand and allowed herself to dragged back down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Mother" Patty called, glancing at the clock. It was just past midnight, "Mother I know you are still here". A flash of white lights, swirled, and suddenly a sleeping looking Penny appeared, holding a cup of tea. "What is it dear, I was just about to go to bed".

"Mom" Patty said circling around so she was now behind Prue. "I think we need to conjure just one more wish tonight; a wish for Prue"

"But it's already past midnight-" Penny started to protest, "and besides, you know who wasn't available"

"Try again, Mother!" Patty retorted still trying to smile through gritted teeth.

"All right, but I can't guarantee any results". Penny sighed setting her transparent cup onto the counter, "You know how they are about bending the rules"

"Rules were made to be broken" Patty quipped, as her mother started the spell.

"Hear these words, hear my cry, Spirit from the other side, cross now the great divide," Penny chanted waving her hand and causing a host of magical tingles to appear. Prue shook her head, looking confused, "wait a minute...I don't understand."

"You don't need too, just wish"

"Wish for what?" Prue asked innocently.

"Your Utmost Inner Desire"

"I don't have any desires...." Prue retorted, earning harsh glances from both her Mother and Grandmother.

"Okay, so maybe after today's, fiasco, I have a few"

"Well it doesn't matter, because is it isn't working," Penny replied watching as the orbing tingles faded.

"Why isn't it working?" Patty asked.

"I don't know, maybe it's because Prue doesn't believe, he'll want to see her. " Penny answered skeptically as she eyed her granddaughter carefully. Patty touched her daughters arm, gently, "honey if you could have one person back in your life, other than me, who would it be?"

Prue's face fell at the thought of the idea, "No Mom...I can't". After today, she didn't deserve that. "Besides I still feel...." Responsible was the word she wanted to say. Slowly Pure turned from Patty and Penny and walked out of the kitchen, leaving the two deceased witches to frown. "If she can't call for him, herself, then there is nothing we can do" Penny said sadly, letting herself fade back into her white light.

Patty walked back into the living room that find, Victor dancing with Piper. Her other daughter Phoebe was huddled near the stairs, kissing Cole playfully. Prue was nowhere in sight. "Would you like to dance? Leo asked, tapping her shoulder.

Patty smiled her best grin, "I'd love too". After the dance ended, Piper left her father's arms and engulfed Patty in a big hug, "I'm so glad you came," she said, tearfully with Phoebe joining in, "yeah I wish you didn't have to leave so soon"

"Well I'm yours until morning"

"Well I guess, nobody will be getting any sleep tonight in this house", Phoebe quipped, plotting to spend everything second she could with Patty.

"You can say that again" Leo groaned in hushed voice, earning himself a jab from Piper.

"Speaking of sleep, where's Prue?"

"She went upstairs to bed," Victor nodded.

The corners of Piper's mouth gently tipped downward, in concern, "Is that such a good idea considering all that's happen tonight?"

"I think it will be fine," Patty replied, now that she knows that her astral side the one escaping, I think she'll be able to control it."

"She looked like she could really use the rest" Phoebe agreed.

"Maybe we should go upstairs and check on her" Victor frowned. "I'll join you" Patty instantly took his hand, as they took the stairs and padded towards Prue's room. Quietly they opened the door to find the young witch sleeping on her side. She was still wearing the pink gown; she'd worn in the wedding.

"We haven't tucked her in, since she was a little girl" Victor grinned, reaching for the spread. Gently he pulled it over Prue's form and kissed her forehead with Patty looking on admiringly.

"She still looks, precious" It was then that Patty noticed, Prue's high school year book, laying open on the opposite pillow, on which Prue was laying. "Victor look". The yearbook was open to the senior class awards page.

A picture of Prue dressed in a cheerleading outfit with her arms wrapped around Andy who was suited up in football attire stuck out at them. "Best Couple" Patty read, noting the heart that was draw around the picture accompanied by Prue's frilly handwriting, Mr and Mrs. Andy Trudeau".

"I always liked Andy," Victor sighed, watching Patty close the annual, "I think it really destroyed a part of Prue when she realized she'd lost the both of you. He was really there for her after you died".

Patty bit her lip thinking for a moment, "what if he could be there for her now? What if they were married?". Patty's smile suddenly became bigger than life, "what if we could give Prue the wedding she's always dreamed of?"

"Wait a minute Patty...you aren't thinking--" Victor recognized the look in his wife's eyes as she shifted her glance towards him.

"Victor, Prue can't move on, until she finds closure on what she had with Andy." She needed what had been stolen from her to be healed before her heart would allow her to love again.

A minute later, the two were standing in the attic hovering over the Book of Shadows with Patty flipping through its pages, "I haven't done this in so long, I've almost forgotten how"

"This isn't a good idea" Victor spat just as Phoebe entered the room.

"What's not a good idea?"

"You're mother, she's writing a spell"

"A spell?" Phoebe's eyes lit up as big a saucers, "Cool! Can I help?". She quickly crossed to Patty's side, ready to do battle with the pen.

"I'm looking for spell, that will help Prue see what it's like to be in love again"

"I know just the one!" Phoebe exclaimed, grabbing several pages in the book, "oh wait...that one didn't work too well." She had been thinking of the perfect man spell before she realized how had backfired on both she and Piper. "Maybe this one..."

"You sound like you're pretty good at this" Patty giggled causing Phoebe to roll her eyes. "At what personal gain? Yeah just a little"

"Personal gain, isn't there suppose to be some sort of consequence attached to that?" Victor stood with his arms crossed over his chest, looking disapprovingly at his ex-wife and daughter. Grinning Phoebe quickly scooted to his side, and planted a kiss on his cheek, "aw Daddy lighten up, we know what we are doing. We won't hurt ourselves or Prue"

Victor raised an eyebrow to his youngest, all too cheery disposition, "You sure about that?"

"I think I got it!" Patty reached for Phoebe's hand and bounded back to Prue's room where Phoebe quiclky lit several candles and sprinkled some dark colored dust over her sleeping sister.

"Okay, Mom, go ahead"

Standing over the bed, Patty took in deep breath and recited the words from the spell "Great power from up above, I ask that you bring back my daughter's first love. What her heart, now denies let it hear this cry. Bring back loves passionate fire, by showing Prue her inner desire".
