AN:
just a little note before you read the next two chapters, so nooen gets confused:
Text anything that happens in reality
Text anything that happens with the actual Prue in her dream
Text anything that happens with the past Prue in her dreams

--------------------

It was already 1am when everyone was back to bed and sleep, but what no one saw, was how Prue started to have nightmares.
Prue looked around and found herself and Andy as six year olds sitting in the back yard of the manor. Each on one swing, licking on their ice cream.
"Andy?"
"Huh?"
"Do you think marrying is cool?"
"I don't know, but mom said, if u love someone very much and shared a lot of stuff with him or her, it's the coolest you can do with this person."
Little Prue smiled
"Well, I know someone I share a lot with and if it's that cool, I know that I want to do it with only that person"
"Your dad?"
"No! Never!"
"Well... who then, cause Piper and Phoebe you are not allowed to, because they're girls just like you and you need a boy or a man to do it with!"
"Man, Andy, you're so silly. The one I'm talking about is you."
"You saying you want to marry me when we're older?"
"Uh hum"
Andy's smile grew wide
"Only if you want to, naturally"
Prue added fast and added grin to the comment. Andy starred into her eyes for a few seconds.
"I think you're right. There's nothing we didn't share yet. So we should also do something this cool together, if it's really that cool"
Real time Prue closed her eyes tightly. Wishing she'd just be able to leave everything behind. Not see this anymore. Her thoughts were interrupted by another sound of voice. A female voice, she didn't remember too well. She opened her eyes again and found her teenager-self lying on some hospital stretcher thingy. Andy was next to her, holding her hand, as the doctor came closer
"Don't worry… it's just a little cool… in a few seconds it's all over again"
The doctor told them placing some jelly stuff on Prue's stomach, then placed the ultra sound scanner on her stomach and the room was filled with fast and heavy heart beating. Teenage Prue smiled
"Look… there she is…"
She told Andy, who just starred speechless at the screen. Then looked fascinated down at teenage Prue and then just pecked her lips, before starring back at the picture...
Prue starred at herself and Andy, being so happy and having this baby together and just couldn't hold back the tears
"No! Don't! Please… Let me go…"
She yelled trying to run away, but it was impossible. She couldn't move and she wasn't heard by anyone. Not in reality and not of the people in her dream. Her vision blurred again and the scene changed. She saw herself on the couch of the manor.
"Oh no! No!! Not that! No!"
Prue yelled closing here yes tightly, but it wouldn't work. She saw everything anyway. She saw how teenage Andy entered the room. He looked uncertain at Prue with fear in his eyes
"Prue?"
Prue heard Andy say and then the hesitance of him as he went up to her. Her past self wouldn't react. She saw, how Andy pulled her past self into a tight hug and noticed how she started to calm down. She had to listen really carefully and made out the words from herself
"It's gone"
and again
"It's dead"
Prue shook her head… trying to get rid of the pictures, but they were still there. It was impossible to get them away. But then her vision blurred again, and her head was ringing by the loud yells, which suddenly got auditable
"And you can't just do nothing. You can't just lie whole day here on your bed in your room! You can't act as if this day never happened!! It did happen!! It is over!! You can't change the past, but what you can change is fucking future!!! You gotta move on!!! Meghan is dead!!! Finally get that!!!!!!!!!!"
"GET OUT OF HERE!!!"
It was Andy who yelled at her teenage self and Prue finally responded with this sentence. Prue watched in horror as the scene continued.
"Get out or I swear you will follow her!!"
She heard herself say and Prue's whole body started to shiver. She slowly broke down, letting herself fall to her knees. She didn't even try to block the vision anymore. It was useless. The vision again blurred, revealing Prue and Andy at some fancy dinner. Prue was completely dressed up and Andy wore a tax. He had brought them to the hotel their prom was in. they were both sitting at a table.
"This is so wonderful"
Prue told Andy beaming up at him, as he pressed a kiss onto her lips
"You know… last time we were here… I gave you a ring… what would you say, if I gave you tonight one as well?"
"I would say, that you're crazy, mister"
"Why?"
"Cause… I'm not ready to marry just yet"
"Why?"
"Cause… Andy this is all going waay too fast... we only met back again a month ago… we can't just marry and act like we didn't change, like nothing happened in those past few years"
"Heeey… don't panic, okay? I just asked what if… not... let's marry"
Andy told her
"Is this thought really that scary?"
Andy asked after several minutes"
"No… it's just… after what happened with Rodger… and… Andy… I know… we love each other… but we also changed a lot in the past years… it's impossible to not change in 10 years… we first… have to get to know each other again… talk a little… not just rush into things"
Prue told him
"Yeah… you're right"
Andy whispered and kissed her lips again, while the new ring burned in his jacket
Prue just starred at herself, saying 'no' to the man she loved so much…
"Why didn't I just say yes?"
She whispered lowly to herself, as the vision changed again. Prue heard her sisters calling her name, and then saw herself waking up. It was the day Andy died. She looked up at herself and how she went over to Andy and cried onto Andy's body. Prue shook her head
"No!! Finally stop!!!"
She begged, as if someone was giving her those images, not realizing she was dreaming. The next she saw, was herself sitting in a car. Driving aimlessly around the streets after Andy's funeral. A song was playing in the radio, which, as weird as it sounded, seemed to match so much to them, what Prue only realized then
'is true love just once in a lifetime … someday we'll know if love can move a mountain, someday we'll know why the sky is blue, someday we'll know why I wasn't meant for you'
Prue shook her head again
"No! You and me… we… we were meant to be... before the elders and this damn witch fuck started!"
