A/N: Thank you for the wonderful reviews. Remember Prue is under a spell to see her true love. I hope this part will clearly show in which direction the story is going!
"Prue, Prue" Piper's voice was ringing through Prue's ears loud and clear, "I think she's coming around". Lifting one eyelid, Prue squinted through a fuzzy haze to see her sister and new brother in-law standing over her.
"Piper, Leo?" She shifted a little, and realized she was now on the couch, "what happened?"
"You passed out," Piper said flatly. "Here drink this" Leo sat on the coffee table and passed her a glass of water, "maybe it will help clear your head"
Prue graciously took a sip of the water, "It was the strangest thing," she began before the ringing of a cell phone stopped her.
"Captain Trudeau," there it was again, clear as day, Andy's voice. Prue's head whipped around and she saw Andy standing a couple of feet away. "Oh...Oh...my God," she muttered as he smiled at her. She managed a small wave back and waited for him to finish his call, "No, I've got a personal emergency at home right now, I'll be back at the stationhouse as soon as it's cleared up".
"Stationhouse?" Did they have one of those in heaven?. Prue just stared uneasily as what she thought was an apparition, sat beside her. "Are you all right Prue?" Reaching out, Andy brushed her cheek with the pad of his thumb, and offered her a smile of concern, "You look like you've seen a ghost"
"I have" she whispered feeling her body stiffen as he leaned in to kiss her. Prue unconsciously balked and pulled away.
"What's wrong?" Andy asked sensing her apprehension. A moment a of silence passed between while Prue let things sink in. "Was this really real?" Finally she pursed her lips, and tucked a strand of her raven hair behind one ear. "Nothing, it's just been so long since I've seen you".
Andy chuckled a reply and looked at his watch, "Prue it's only been two hours". Two hours? Try to two years..." Prue returned silently still not quite certain of what was going on. She was talking to what had to be a ghost and everyone was looking at her as if she were crazy. How was it all possible?
"Do you really miss me that much?" Andy asked, swinging her legs up onto his lap. Prue's bottom lip began to quiver as she tried to speak, "I miss you horribly"
"I'm always here for you Prue" Andy smiled touching the tip of her nose before leaning in for another kiss. Again Prue stiffened for a moment, before relaxing in his arms. She felt his hand, snake around her neck, inching her closer, as their tongues collided. His kiss was just as she remembered. It still made her feel warm and safe, best of all it made her feel alive.
Present Day
Prue let out a sharp gasp, as she nearly bolted from her bed, her heart hammering in chest, "Okay what just happened?" She looked down to see that she was dressed in the pink gown that she worn in Piper's wedding and began to shake. "That was just a little too real" She pressed two fingers to her lips. They were literally still tingling from Andy's kiss.
Reaching across the bed, Prue flipped on the light and pulled herself to her feet. With a purpose in mind, she padded over to the closet and flung it open, "My clothes" she swallowed, pushing through to the other side, "and my clothes again". With the exception of one white dress shirt in the back, Nothing but women's clothing hung from the hangers.
"It was just a dream" she sighed, pushing a hand through her hair. A dream but nevertheless it felt so real, his voice, his touch and that kiss. Prue pressed her hand to her mouth again. How could a dream recreate a kiss that was so powerful? She didn't know. One thing she did know, was that there was no way she could get back to sleep.
Quickly she stripped from the wedding formal and changed into a pair of flannel sleep pants, and white ribbed tee. She was just about to leave her room, when she saw her high school year book laying on the bed.
"Oh, so that's why I had that dream" smiling she let her fingers run of over the image of Andy's face. He was so handsome back then, "Yeah not to mention alive" she sighed feeling a tug at her heart. Closing the book, she picked up and set it on her dresser.
Downstairs, she found, Penny, Victor and Phoebe all sitting in the kitchen, enjoying coffee and hot tea. "Couldn't sleep?" Victor asked as she passed by touching his shoulder on her way to retrieve a mug from the cabinet.
"Piper and Leo were probably keeping her awake," Phoebe quipped giving her father her best grin. She like everyone else was a little surprised that they had chosen to spend their wedding night at home.
"Actually I had a really weird dream" Prue tossed her sister, a grin of her own as she stood on tip toes to reach the coffee cups, missing the glances that Phoebe and Patty exchange"
"Really?"
"Yeah, I dreamed that Andy was alive...it was almost like he never died. All you all looked at me like I was out of my mind" Prue reached for a tea bag, and then filled her mug with hot water from the kettle on the stove"
"Whoa...that is weird," Phoebe piped.
"Yeah...everything it was just so vivid," Prue added taking the seat across from her mother.
"Well maybe Andy was trying to reach out for you"
"or maybe your astral side was trying to reach for him" Phoebe add more correctly.
"I think that's impossible" Prue replied looking at her parents, "besides why would it do that?"
"Because your sister and your mother cast a-"Victor was about to finish his sentence when he felt a sharp jab to his shin from Patty's shoe. "Ouch", he didn't know ghosts could kick like that".
"Don't" Patty warned giving her ex a menacing glare. "Okay, anybody want anymore cake?" Phoebe jumped from her chair, "We saved you some Prue!"
"No, I'm fine" Prue smiled taking another sip of her tea. "I think I just want to go into the family room and watch some TV".
"What a good idea!" Phoebe's eyes widened, gloriously in agreement, "Mom and I were just about to watch Kill it Before It Dies"
"I don't think I'm in the mood, for Billy tonight. I've had enough freaky things happen to me already today" Prue said eluding to the last time that they'd seen the movie, the main character of Billy had jumped out at them, literally.
"Okay, then how about Ghost?"
"Ghost?" Prue felt herself shudder while Phoebe just smiled. "Yeah you know, Demi Moore, Patrick Swayze. Sam's a ghost, Molly's a mortal....Sam reaches out to her from beyond the grave"
"I know the movie Phoebe"
"Great!" Phoebe jeered, giving her sister a nudge, "it's in the video cabinet, why don't you go get it. I'll make the popcorn"
Victor gazed at his watch and then pulled to his feet, "well I think I've had enough Ghosts for one day, so I'll be going home"
Patty smiled pulling to her feet, "Girls why don't you go start the movie, I'm just going to say goodbye to your father"
"Okay" Phoebe squeaked rushing over to give Victor a kiss on the cheek, "I love you Daddy"
"I love you too, Peanut" Victor replied changing his glance to Prue, "take care Prue"
As usual, Prue gave her father a halfhearted kiss on the cheek, "you too Dad".
Patty waited until the girls disappeared into the other room before saying her goodbyes, "it was really nice seeing you again"
"And it was nice seeing you, alive" Victor added, "It's a shame you can't come to visit more often"
Patty reached out and touched his cheek "All you have to do is call on me"
"Like you want our daughter to do with Andy?"
Patty's face-hardened, immediately recognizing the disdain in his tone. "It's not right Patty, your dead. You should stay dead".
"You never did believe in my world, did you?" she challenged angrily. Seeing her frustration with him, Victor took her hands into his and kissed them gently, "I believe that if you continue this, our daughter is going to get to hurt, more than she already has been"
"No" Patty shook her head, pulling her hands free, "our daughter will find happiness with Andy and her heart will finally heal"
"Prue, Prue" Piper's voice was ringing through Prue's ears loud and clear, "I think she's coming around". Lifting one eyelid, Prue squinted through a fuzzy haze to see her sister and new brother in-law standing over her.
"Piper, Leo?" She shifted a little, and realized she was now on the couch, "what happened?"
