Piper was sitting in Cole's lap still kissing each other. Piper pulled away when she heard a knock on her door. "Piper are you still in there?" Phoebe asked through the door.
Piper motioned for Cole to stay quiet. "Yes. Why?"
"You have been in there for over an hour. Can I come in so we can talk?" Phoebe questioned to her sister.
"No." Piper said resting her head on Cole's shoulder. "I want to be alone." Piper lied.
Phoebe tried to open the door and found that it was locked. "You locked the door? You never lock the door." Phoebe said suspiciously.
"I didn't want anyone to come in." Piper said truthfully.
Phoebe backed away from the door confused. "Ok. But can we talk later then?" she asked.
"Sure." Piper stated.
Phoebe walked downstairs confused. Piper was keeping something from them. But Phoebe knew that when Piper was ready Piper would talk to them.
"I better go now Piper." Cole said picking Piper up and moving her on the bed.
"Do you have to go?" Piper asked.
"Yes. You are hurt, confused, and vulnerable right now. This isn't right. At least for now. You need to figure out what is going on with Leo and you." Cole replied.
"I understand." Piper said. Cole leaned down and gave Piper a last good-bye kiss. Piper closed her eyes to savor the kiss knowing it would be the last time for a while she would kiss him. Piper opened her eyes and watched Cole shimmer away.
Piper laid down on her bed. She already missed Cole. She knew Cole was right though. She had to figure what she was going to do with Leo. Was she going to divorce him or stay with him and work through their problems? She just didn't know.
Piper got dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a black t-shirt and went downstairs. Piper walked into the living room and saw Phoebe working on her column. "Hey" Piper said.
Phoebe looked up from her laptop and saw Piper standing in the doorway. "Hey" Phoebe said before turning back to her laptop. Piper sighed and sat down across from her.
"I'm sorry, Pheebs. I kinda pushed you away earlier."
"It's ok. I know what you're going through right now is hard. I just want help you through it." Phoebe said looking up from her laptop.
"And I want you to help me. I just need some time by myself. I don't want you guys to feel left out or pushed away every time I do." Piper replied.
"I understand. I really do. Whenever you need to talk or anything...Paige and I will be there." Phoebe said smiling.
"Thanks Pheebs. Speaking of Paige...where is she?" Piper asked.
"She is in the attic. She said she went up to see if there was anyway to protect you from Leo." Phoebe said.
"Oh ok. I don't think there is anything in the book though." Piper said.
"I told her that but she insisted on checking." Phoebe replied.
Piper nodded her head. "How's your column coming along?" she asked.
"It's going good. This is my last letter then I am done." Phoebe replied finishing her column.
"What do you say about spending some quality sister time with me today?" Piper questioned her sister. Piper needed to get out of the house. She also wanted to spend some time with Phoebe because ever since Prue died she and Phoebe almost never spent time together other than when they had to vanquish demons or anything witchy.
"Are you sure you're up to it?" Phoebe was concerned.
"Yeah I'm sure." Piper reassured her.
Phoebe nodded. "What about Paige?" Piper looked toward the attic. "I'll tell her but I really just want to spend time with you. We haven't spent any real sisterly time together since..." Piper trailed off.
Phoebe understood. Phoebe knew that since Prue died they never spent any real time together. "Yeah I know. OK. I'll go get ready while you go tell her."
Piper nodded and walked up to the attic. Piper saw Paige looking through the book frustrated. "Hey Paige."
Paige quickly closed the book and looked up and saw Piper standing there. "What are you doing here?"
"I know what you're doing Paige. Pheebs told me." Piper said laughing.
"She can never keep a secret!" Paige replied sarcastically then laughed along with Piper.
"Anyway, I wanted to tell you Phoebe and I are going out." Piper said ashamed that Paige may feel left out.
"OK. I'll be up here looking through the book to see if I find anything." Paige stated.
"Are you sure?" Piper questioned. Paige spent more time in the attic then she did anything else.
"Yeah I'm sure. You guys go have fun." Paige said.
Piper went back downstairs and Phoebe and her left.
At the Penthouse
Cole was in the kitchen making himself a sandwich when he saw one of the Avatars appear.
"What do you want?" Cole questioned him suspiciously. He knew they must be up to something.
"To tell you of your new destiny." The Avatar replied.
"What new destiny?" Cole demanded.
"You and Balthazar are one again. You have been given a second chance as the most powerful force again." The Avatar said.
"What?! How is that possible?" Cole questioned. He didn't want to be Balthazar. He lost Phoebe to evil and he didn't want to lose Piper.
"The Powers have decided that Balthazar is who you are. You must embrace this or else they have the power to kill you." He replied.
"Then why didn't they when I betrayed the Underworld when I killed the triad?" Cole demanded.
The Avatar didn't respond. Cole noticed this and said, "They don't have the power to kill me, do they?"
"No. I am sorry, Balthazar."
Cole morphed into Balthazar and threw an energy ball at the Avatar. Cole watched as he was engulfed in flames and disappeared. "It's good to be back," said Balthazar.
Balthazar/Cole shimmered to the Manor. He was set out to kill the Charmed Ones for once and all starting with the weakest one...Paige.
