Chapter 14: Angel Dusted:

"I love you, Mr. Halliwell," Prue giggled when the kiss broke. Andy grinned bumping his nose against hers, "It's Mr. Halliwell-Trudeau," he corrected. Grams smiled at the both of them fondly, "I wish I could stay, but it's best I leave so the you know who's don't get wise".

"Grams thank you so much," Prue leaned in trying to hug her Grandmother's transparent form. "You are so welcome my darling," Grams then winked at Andy, "Andy you better take good care of my granddaughter or you will have me to deal with"

"I imagine Grams is still pretty ruthless, even in the afterlife," Piper quipped. All smiled as Grams disappeared into her white light. Phoebe then turned to the happy couple offering her congratulations.

"I always wanted you for my older brother," she cooed kissing Andy's cheek, "Welcome to the family"

"Thanks Phoebe," Andy grinned keeping a tight hold of Prue's hand. Leo then stepped up next, and shook Andy's hand, "Congratulations" the white lighter smiled at Prue, "You two deserve to be happy". Prue let go of Andy's hand and arms wrapped around his neck, embracing Leo in a hug, "thank you, your support means to so much"

Pulling away, Leo scratched the back of his neck, "yeah speaking of that have the two of you thought about what you are going to say to the Elders and Natalie? You can't hide this union forever". Prue looked at Andy skeptically, the adverted her eyes back to Leo, "No, but um what can they say, Andy and I are married now, they have to see that we belong together"

Leo nodded somber, "I used to think the same thing about me and Piper," he began slipping his arm around Piper's waist, "But lately, I've come to learn that there are more forces involved than just what Piper and I want"

Prue flicked her gaze to Andy "If he says anything about the greater good, deck him". Andy's hands fell to her shoulders, "I think he's just trying to tell us to be careful" he said kissing her hair. It was then that Leo noticed the bandage on the tracer's left hand. "Hey, why don't you let me heal that for you?"

"It's not that big of a deal". Andy shrugged "I just caught a little lightening"

"No really I don't mind," Leo insisted "besides what are brother in laws for?"

"Okay, well if you're sure it wont upset the greater good"

"Trust me, they'll never know," Leo quipped.

"You sure about that?" Andy just grinned and extended his injured hand, letting Prue remove the bandage. "Ow! That must have hurt" she winced at burn on his palm. She then watched as Leo held his hand over Andy's, healing the wound instantly.

"Thanks" No sooner, had Andy wiggled his fingers, then Natalie and a male white lighter appeared behind them. "Andy" she called to him.

"No!" Sensing what was about to come Andy turned shoving Prue out of the way. Prue fell into Leo as the male white lighter threw some sparkling powered into Andy's face. "Memory Dust" Leo's eyes widened as he used this body to shield Prue with the remaining dust passing right over them.

"ANDY!" Prue screamed, struggling against Leo's stronghold. "Leo let me go!"

"Orb him out!" Natalie ordered to the male white lighter, watching her charge begin to cough as sputter against the magical powder that was assaulting his system.

Prue attempted to lunge forward, fighting Leo every step of the way "NO! I WON'T LET YOU TAKE HIM!"

"Prue," A dense fog started to surround Andy's brain. His conscious memory was beginning to flee, "Prue I love you". Prue could only watch in horror as Andy slumped against the other white lighter, unconscious and then orbed out.

"Bring him back!" she demanded ready to vanquish. Piper and Phoebe held her at bay while Leo dealt with Natalie.

"Why are you doing this?" he thundered, with his nostrils flaring. "Tisk Tisk" Natalie shook her head, "I'm so disappointed in you Leo. After all that you and Piper went through? You still have the gall to challenge the rules. When are you going to learn?" A heated silence passed between them. "There are not going to be anymore forbidden unions," Natalie whispered orbing out.

Morning

A hurtful frown spread to Piper's face as she stood in the doorway of Prue's bedroom. Prue was lying on her side, hugging her pillow. "I brought you some tea," Piper said softly, stepping inside. Prue shrugged and Piper set the cup on the nightstand, before sinking to the mattress.

"I know exactly what are you feeling right now" Piper's hand fell into Prue's long rave hair, stroking it "when they took Leo from me, I wanted too-

"I know what you went through Piper I was there," Prue cut her off. Feeling her sister's pain, Piper ignored the attitude, "Prue you can't manipulate them," Piper started again. " It's not your fault, Prue. Whether we like it or not, they are in charge and we're just all puppets held by their strings."

Prue sat up she didn't want to hear anymore, "where's Leo?" she asked hoarsely.

"He went up there to see what was happening to Andy" Piper returned pursing her lips. Prue nodded and swallowed before pulling to her feet.

"Where are you going?" Piper called when her sister reached the doorway.

Prue turned slightly looking over her shoulder, "I'm going to summon Mom". Piper followed and together they called for Patty. Patty appeared in apparition form wearing all white. Her face was crestfallen.

"Prue, I am so sorry. I only wanted to make you happy". The ghostly mother had no way of knowing the consequences that her daughter would endure. Her only thought had been to bring back the joy in Prue's life.

"I know Mom, I don't blame you I blame them"

Patty lips fell thoughtfully, "sweetheart you can't blame anyone. The Elders truly believe that they are preserving what is right". Patty knew better then to mention the phrase the "Greater Good".

"What's right?" Prue challenged letting her normally bright green eyes fill with tears. "Tell me Mom what is right about all of us dying young and alone? We do so much that is good and is it's always us, The Charmed Ones who seem to suffer!"

Patty shook her head, "I'm not disagreeing with you Prue but this is our destiny. It's who we are being Charmed is as much of a curse as it is a gift"

"Your Mother is right Prudence," Penny appeared slowly next to her daughter. "We have suffered. Halliwells since the beginning of time have had to endure what you are going through right now for the cause of the greater...." Penny's words trailed at the sight of Piper shaking her head and wagging a finger of caution.

"But I already lost Andy once; it's not fair that he should suffer again because of my destiny. My God Grams, he's already in the afterlife. When does he get to be happy?"

Penny chanced a glance at Patty knowing the answer wasn't simple, "as soon as you get there Dear". The two apparitions then faded leaving the sisters to cling to one another.

"So what did she just say, that I have to die before Andy and I can be happy?"

Piper held Prue tightly blowing her bangs away from her face. "You know I love being a witch, but sometimes being Charmed Sucks!"

Additional A/N: As much as I am a Prue/Andy geek, I love angst. I promise to have chp 15 up real quick so that you all know what is happening to Andy. ps...please review kindly.
