So a friend of mine yelled at me until I finished writing this chapter. Everyone thank her! Anyway, I wrote this whole chapter in one sitting. Hope you enjoy. It's short, but hopefully still good.

Thanks to:

scullymulder1234: Yeah, I like long fics, too...

Charmboy4: I made you scream? ...Should I be proud, or afraid?

Piper xox Leo: :-) Will do.

True Star: Amazing, huh? Thanks! Omg, you cried? Aw...I can't take full credit--Piper xox Leo helped co-write that chapter.

piperleo4eva: Be afraid...Expect the unexpected by unexpecting the expected. moahahahaha!

meenyrocks: Was it amazing?

patricia: Yeah, two stories in a day. I'm so proud! I'll get some news on the wedding soon, promise. I need to put in a time lapse here soon, because there's still 9 months left 'til the wedding...

Magical Princess: Wow? Is that...good?

Nakita: 2--I know it's confusing. I wrote it a long time ago when I wasn't as...skilled in writing. I think I'm going to go through and fix things, then replace the chapters with the better ones, in case people read the story in the future...I don't want them to be confused.
3--I know you'll find it. This was a hard story to write fluff for...until Chapter 7
7--Happy?
14--Long is good, huh? That's the main response I've been getting, you know?

phoebe: Glad you love it!

versatilecute: I'm not telling who it is.

Christine Marquez: Never give up on it. I know I won't. I'll get frustrated with it, but I'll never give up on it! And don't give up on me, either!

syad yniar: Good! A fan! Oh, and I'm a rambler, too, so 's all good! Ramble on!

Chub: Just a thought: thank you for saying "update when you can" I like that. It's not as demanding.

CrazyWomanLovesYou: Well...I'm glad you like it!

egokreep: Love the name! Did I answer your prayers with my update?

This starts up right after the last one...Well, three hours later, that is...Anyway, R&R!

It took Piper three hours to explain herself. Her sisters hadn't let her out of the crystal cage, but they had found seats and had listened intently the entire time. Piper was emotional throughout most of the explanation, and had to force tears away a few times.

"So…" Prue started, not sure of what to say.

"So you…Do you love him?"

The Truth Spell was still in effect so Piper had to answer. "Yes…" She trailed off. "I…I do love him…" Piper realized that it was the second time she had admitted it, but the first time she said it…He'd said it back. But maybe it was the pressure of the situation…Maybe…

But the Truth Spell made her say yes.

That meant she loved him.

"You do? Piper, how could you? You love a demon!"

"He is not a demon, Prue! He's a whitelighter--an angel!"

"He's no angel, Piper. He grew up with evil!"

"But his parents were good! His blood is good!"

"His heart is evil!"

"It's not! It is not!"

"He's brainwashed her," Phoebe mumbled.

"He has not! …Unless loving Leo is being brainwashed…"

"Piper, you've fallen for somebody we fight!"

"So? Why can't I love him?"

"How can you?"

"I don't know, Prue! I just do! I didn't ask for it, it just…It happened!"

"For three months…"

"Yes."

"Oh, God…Piper, what have you done?"

"Can you please just give him a chance?"

"And then what, Piper? You'll be asking us to have the Source himself over for dinner?"

"No! Please! He's good, I swear!"

"You're lying."

"I'm not! I swear! He's good! I wouldn't be working with him if he wasn't good!" Piper cried.

"Would you sleep with him if he wasn't good?"

"No!"

"Wait. Prue." Phoebe's hand flew out to the eldest Halliwell sister. "She's telling the truth."

"What? Are you having a premonition?"

"No. Think about it. Piper's under the Truth Spell. She has to tell the truth," Phoebe explained.

"So…?"

"So Piper's telling the truth."

"Huh?"

"Leo's not evil. Piper has to tell the truth, and she just said she wasn't evil. He can't be."

"Phoebe, you can't be serious."

"Has our magic ever failed us before?"

"…No…"

"Oh my God! Finally! Now will you listen to me?" Piper yelled, exasperated. She threw her arms up in the air.

"Yes."

"Phoebe!" Prue hissed.

"Look, Prue, face it. Piper has to be telling the truth. There's no way she couldn't. Remember when we first cast the Truth Spell? We even tried to lie to each other. It was impossible."

"That was years ago. We've gotten stronger."

"Stop denying it, Prue. Just face it. Leo's good. Piper's not lying."

Prue looked at the middle Halliwell sister and sighed. "What do you want from us, Piper?"

"I want you to trust me. I want you to trust Leo."

"No," Prue abruptly said.

"Prue…" Phoebe said, trying to stay calm. She turned to Piper. Very slowly, she moved forward and pushed one of the crystals aside.

Piper was sitting on her knees by then. Phoebe knelt down in front of her sister and also sat on her knees. Piper hugged her. "Thank you. I love you."

"I love you, too."

"Now can you trust me?"

Phoebe nodded. They turned to look at Prue, who was glaring.

Piper stood up. "What next?"

"Call Leo," Phoebe said.

Piper nodded a little. She closed her eyes and summoned Leo in her mind. He orbed in and took one look at Piper's sisters and took a step back. "Piper…"

"It's okay, Leo," Piper assured him. She walked over to him and stood in front of him, taking his hand. She glanced at Prue, who looked as if she was ready to fire an energy ball. Piper shot her sister a warning glance, a look that said, "If you touch him, I will hurt you."

"Piper explained everything," Phoebe said.

"Piper, can I talk to you downstairs?" Prue said bitterly, through clenched teeth. She stood up and grabbed Piper's arm and pulled her downstairs before she could protest.

Phoebe and Leo, left alone, stared at each other for a few silent seconds.

"So…" Phoebe started.

"You probably want to vanquish me…"

"Actually, no."

"No?"

"No…Piper, she's still under the Truth Spell, so I know when she said you were good…I know she wasn't lying. She couldn't be."

"Still…You're not worried I won't turn on you and kill you?"

"Well, I wasn't before…" Phoebe laughed nervously. "Actually, I'm not. I know Piper trusts you. And I trust my sister…And…And I know she loves you…"

Downstairs, Prue turned to stare coldly at her sister.

"I can't believe you."

"You have to. I can't lie, remember?"

"But Piper…"

"Please, Prue…Give him a chance…Give us both a chance."

Hey, at least it was an update! Don't forget to review, I loved all of the reviews from the last chapter. I know I kind of left this at a cliffy, but it was more of a filler chapter for the next one. Kinda...Huh...Anyway...
