Once again, sorry this is short, but there are longer ones coming up.

Lying Is Hard, Magic Is Easy:

"Answer me," she hissed,

"because we slept together," he replied, his voice quiet, the look she gave him made him realize she hadn't heard, either that or she just wanted him it admit it again, "we slept together, I slept with Gabrielle," he said, his voice louder this time.

"Why?" she simply asked, he had been expecting her to yell, use her powers on him, but she hadn't, she'd just asked why,

"I don't know, I was stupid, Phoebe's been gone for just over a month, Gabrielle was upset, she came on to me, we kissed, and then….we slept together," he replied.

"I've always hated you, but now I hate you even more," the eldest charmed one snapped, flinging out her arm and blasting him through the air,

"there it is," he said, referring to the telekinetic blast,

"you and Gabrielle belong together," she growled,

"me and Phoebe belong together," he corrected, hitting her with a low voltage energy ball, which pushed her backwards into the wall.

"If that's the way you wanna play it," she said, shooting a pyrokinetic sphere, it was about to pound into her chest when it redirected and hit the wall, they both turned to see Phoebe standing in the doorway,

"what is going on?" she asked,

"didn't you hear what he said?" Prue said, "how can you just save him like that?"

"because he's my fiancé, and I don't think there's anything he can say which will make me feel any different," she replied, walking over and wrapping her arms around his neck, kissing him. Prue glared at Cole and smoked out,

"I'm so glad you're back," he said,

"me too," she agreed, giving him anther kiss,

"what made you change your mind?" he asked,

"a demon, he attacked me and it made me realise how empty my life was without you, without my family, because I had to fight him alone, and I don't want to fight alone anymore," she replied, as they moved over to the bed. As they got onto it Phoebe spotted something strange on one of the pillows, a red hair,

"what's this?" she asked, holding it up,

"I have no idea," he yelled,

"has she been here?" she asked,

"who?" he asked,

"Gabrielle," she replied,

"yes, but I didn't let her in, I walked into the apartment and she was lying on the bed," he told her, "but I threw her out straight away," she smiled and released it into the bin, continuing to kiss him.

The following day, Phoebe and Cole arrived at the manor, to be greeted by Piper,

"I'm so glad you're back," she said, hugging her younger sister,

"I know," Phoebe nodded, "but forget about that now, I have some news, me and Cole have finally decided on a date for our wedding," she said,

"when?" Paige asked, walking up behind Piper with Leo, Kyle and Andy, while Prue just stood by the dining table, not able to go near Cole after what he had done.

"Well, I know it's sudden, and kinda like what happened with dad and Gabrielle, but on Friday," Phoebe announced,

"as in the day after tomorrow?" Piper asked, Phoebe nodded, a massive smile stretched across her face as she obviously excited,

"congratulations," they all said, except Prue. Cole walked over to her,

"aren't you going to congratulate your sister?" he asked,

"you're pure evil, you're going to marry her when you've been doing it with another woman while she's been gone," she spat, though her voice was quiet as she didn't want Phoebe to find out this way,

"I tried to tell her Prue, but I couldn't," Cole said, he now sounded more like a little, innocent, boy,

"you need to tell her," Prue stated, her voice more calm, then she went off to give her sister a fake congratulations, leaving Cole to ponder his options.

To be continued…..
