Chapter 3
Halliwell manor was full of loud voices and pure ciaos as the sisters and Leo prepared for the rehearsal dinner. "Piper have you seen my lipstick?" Prue called out while spinning to avoid her younger sister running into her room wrapped in a towel. "Yeah it's in the second draw in the bathroom" she called back. But before the woman could get to it Phoebe and her husband dashed in, in front of her "Sorry Prue but Paige took forever to shower so just give me and Justin a few minutes and we'll be out of your way" she shouted slamming the door in her sister's face. Prue simply through up her hands and sighed. "We defiantly need another bathroom in this house." "Hey Prue can I borrow your red lip gloss? I can't seem to find mine" "Sure Paige it's on my dresser" "Thanks, you're the greatest!" the girl yelled back as she made a mad dash for her sister's room with Prue following close behind.
"Do you think that these shoes go with this dress?" "Yeah they look great honey" "Good I want to look my best since Drew will be joining us tonight" "You two seem to be getting pretty serious." "I hope so. Anyway how are you holding up? Are you still having Leo issues?" Looking down at the floor the woman responded "I'm sorry to say, but yeah I am. I don't know Paige something just seems wrong. I'm not sure what it is, there's just something about him. Not to mention that Piper's been acting really weird this morning." Taking a seat next to her the younger woman spoke "I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who's noticed. I mean this morning I bumped into her in the hall and she almost took my head off. I thought it was just her nerves until I saw an energy ball form in her hand" Prue listened on in amazement. "At first I thought I was hallucinating but it was there, plain as day" "Why wouldn't she tell us that she received a new power?" "I don't know Prue but something is about this whole situation rubs me the wrong way. I think we need to tell Phoebe so she knows what's going on" "I agree" But before the women could ponder any further the door bell rang. Prue then jumped to her feet. "Umm I'm going to go get that while you finish up here. Oh and when you get a chance can you get my lipstick out of the bathroom for me" "Sure" Paige responded as she exited the room. With one more glance in the mirror, Prue made her way to answer the door.
Cole Turner stood at the door of Halliwell manor trying hard to fight off the feelings of anxiety that he was having at the moment. "Ok Cole, keep it together" he told himself while trying to get the picture of the oldest sister out of his mind. "Not again" he spoke out loud as the images of the night before came flooding back. The way the woman smiled, the way she walked, the way she talked, everything about her drove him wild. Well, he thought to himself, as long as she doesn't answer the door I'll be alright. The instant that the man finished his thought he came face to face with the object of his affections.
"Hey there" Prue said smiling as she moved aside to let the man in. "Hi there. How are you?" he replied. "I'm doing good. Everything's a little hectic around her this morning but other than that everything's great" "That's nice to her. Well not the hectic part but the you're doing good part. Did that sound right to you or have I turned into a babbling idiot?" The woman giggled a little before responding "No, it's ok. We're all a little out of it today. There's just so much to do and not enough time to do it" "I know what you mean I had the same problem at my sister's wedding" "And I'm sure it turned out great" "Yeah it went pretty well. Umm, so do you know who you're going to walk down the isle with, I mean partner wise not husband wise" "I think it's going to be me and you" Prue wasn't really sure if this was true but in the event that it wasn't she would immediately make her sister change it so she could spend every possible second with her new boy toy. The sound of the entire Halliwell clan charging down the stairs interrupted her thoughts.
"OK, you guys make sure you have everything you need for the day since the hall is an hour away and we won't be able to come back if anyone forgets anything" Phoebe shouted slipping on her coat. "Hey Paige did you ever get my lipstick out of the bathroom?" "Yeah here you go" she said handing it to her older sister. "Leo did you grab the gifts for the wedding party?" Piper asked with a devilish grin that Prue and Paige caught onto, but both tried to ignore. "They're right here. And everyone is going to get exactly what they deserve" he finished while sharing an evil grin of his own with his fiancé before kissing the woman. "Alright you two, there will be plenty of time for that after you're married. Now come on, we don't want to be late" As everyone headed out of the door Paige and Prue staggered behind. "Did you see the look on Piper's face?" the younger one questioned. "Yeah that was really strange" "What the hell is going on with her?" "I don't know, but I'll bet you any amount of money it has to do with that piece of trash she's about to marry" "Well whatever it is we have to snap her out of it and soon" "Hey are you guys coming or do you want us to leave your asses here?" an angry Piper shouted. Turning to her sister Prue added "Ok, what the hell was that about?" "I have now clue but the sooner we find out Leo's dirty little secret the sooner we get our sister back" Paige finished as the pair made their way to the limo.
