Prue pulled up outside the cinema that night, bailing Piper and Phoebe out before parking the car a few of yards down the road. She ran in the cold weather to the doors and pushed her two little sisters through the door. "Ok...we've had dinner.... so we don't have the worry of eating too many sweets before a meal" she muttered, rolling her eyes as she imitated her Grams.

Piper giggled and had an answer ready, but stopped short and her smile faded when a gorgeous boy, no older than 17, turned around from over at the counter. Her mouth dropped open at how wonderful he looked, his hair shining in the rays of the cinemax lights.

Prue and Phoebe noticed her gaze and then turned away, slowly retreating off. The guy beside the counter smiled at Piper and she smiled back, just about managing to pick her jaw up off of the floor first. She headed over to the sweets where she saw Prue and Phoebe. "I just want you to know that I officially hate you two. How could you leave me like that?"

Prue giggled. "We could see that you were digging that guy...and he totally liked you back! We gave you a window of opportunity there. If it was Pheebs she'd have snapped it up straight away!"

Pheebs nodded in agreement. "Yup" Then she realised what Prue was insinuating and she turned, hit her and glared with her evil eye. "That's mean! Are you calling me a slut?"

Prue pretended to act serious and sorry. "No...of course not little sis. But Piper so liked him."

Piper looked down a little shy. "Guys...I just broke things off with Jimmy. It wasn't the greatest relationship and I don't think I'm ready for another one just yet. I want to try things out by myself, just hang out with friends and you guys and think about myself for a while."

Phoebe whistled. "Wow...you are the only 15 year old girl I know that wouldn't have totally bagged him there and then!"

Piper nodded. "Yeah well...you've also told me that I'm the only girl that doesn't wear GoGo boots...and that theory was wrong too. So can we just forget about guys for a while and go and watch a film....please." She pleaded. She couldn't deny, the mysterious counter guy was hot, and there was something about him that she liked, but she couldn't trust another boy just yet, especially not one that she could quite easily fall head over heels for.

Prue looked from Piper to Phoebe. "Yo Pheebs...go get some popcorn for me?" She asked.

Phoebe stamped her foot and pulled a face. "Nuh uh...why me?!?" She asked in a whinging tone.

Prue pulled out a ten dollar bill and handed to her. "Wanna keep the change or shall I spoil myself?" She questioned in a low, tempting tone.

"I'll be back sis!!" Phoebe said, wrenching the bill out of Prue's hand, grinning and heading for the counter.

Prue pulled Piper over to a corner when she could see that Phoebe wasn't looking. "Ok...what's up...I can tell that you're in a bad way...but you weren't earlier so can you please just spill?"

Piper forced a smile. "Prue....I'm fine ok? Stop worrying about me. I'm sixteen now. I can take care of myself."

"Fine." Prue said, standing up and heading back over towards where they were stood, waiting for Phoebe. "But...you know I'm here if you need me right? Cause that is totally what sisters are for, well, Halliwell sisters anyway!" She said, adding a cheeky smile to the end of her sentence.

"Yes, I know Prue." Piper replied, rolling her eyes when Prue had turned her back.

Phoebe was stood at the counter, paying for Prue's popcorn and her sweets with the ten dollar bill when she felt a warm presence behind her.

"Hey" Said a low deep voice beside her left ear.

She suddenly turned around and saw the tall, handsome guy that Piper was eyeing up. "Oh, hi" She said with a small smile. "Ya scared me there!!" She laughed, thanking the cashier as she picked up her popcorn and gave the dude her full attention.

"I'm sorry, I'm Leo." He laughed. "I just...I couldn't help noticing that you were with the girl with the long brown hair...and...I wanted to talk to you about her."

"Ah...yeah...that's my sister. She was eyeing you up, excuse her" Phoebe joked, eating a kernel of Prue's popcorn.

"She was eyeing me up? Really?" He exclaimed, a look of shock and happiness on her face.

"Well ya." Phoebe mumbled, making sure Prue and Piper couldn't overhear the conversation.

"Do you think there's anyway you could tell me the film you're watching...I want to sneak in and sit near her. There's something about her. Oh...wait...she isn't taken is she?" He asked, suddenly remembering that that would be a key factor in trying to get to know her.

"No...she's not..anymore" Phoebe added with a small smile. "And we're going to see Sharktail...we just decided."

"Great. Thanks a lot" He mumbled, smiling at her and winking. "So..think you can get her to sit on the end of you three?"

"I'll give it my best shot." Phoebe replied with a grin as she strode off towards her two unaware sisters. She knew that a few paces behind her, the gorgeous guy was secretly watching Piper's every move. She thought it would be good for Piper to get out again, she was lonely and upset, and Phoebe knew that the mysterious Leo would be enough to bring her back to her senses. "Ready guys?" She asked.

AN: Ok...I AM going to possibly cover the cinema bit...or maybe skip a few months. Not sure yet...I just knew that it was time I updated. And HA...THERE'S LEO!! :D
