Are they going to get together again or they're going to betray each other? Read this story... and find out.

Chapter 1 – We meet again

"Phoebe, we have a meeting at six o'clock, and all my men of trust will be here, so, please, don't be late" Governor looked at the only woman in his 'army', Phoebe Halliwell.

"I've never failed you before, haven't I, sir?" Phoebe replied "At six... That leaves me four hours. I'll use that time to go and take care of that solider that betrays you." Phoebe looked at her sword – it was the best sword in all England, the masterpiece of Johan Savich, old Russian sword maker, one of the best, though.

"Very well, as your wish.'Till than, at ease!"

"Goodbye, sir" Phoebe went out to take care of the solider who betrayed all England, by choosing to join France, and told them many things he wasn't supposed to. She turned left and knocked on a door of an old, wooden house. "Hey, Max, are you in there?" she yelled

"Sure, Pheebs, but I'm coming right out. Are we going to finish the job?" Maxim was Phoebe's partner, he was just a little bit weird, but very pretty and handsome, and was always ready to tell a joke or make somebody to laugh.

"Yes, we are, now come out, if you please!"

At six P.M...

"Men, I gathered you all here to discuss the situation of all England. I must warn you that this meeting is going to last for a couple of hours, so I'll ask from you all to put your swords on the table." Governor said slowly, trying not to loose too much of his voice.

Phoebe took her sword and put it on the table, and so did the rest the men around the table. Most of them looked at her sword hypnotically, but she didn't care.

"Nice sword. Is it Johan's?" she heard a familiar male voice next to her. She turned around and saw Cole, her ex boyfriend.

"Cole?!? What in the world are you doing here?!?" Phoebe was very surprised by seeing her ex boyfriend sitting in the secret meeting of English governor. She looked in his eyes. He was as handsome as he was before, and cute as he was before, but she didn't feel love for him, only attraction.

"Weird! I was just about to ask you the same thing!" Cole replied. "Damn, she's beautiful!" he thought. "Too bad I broke up with her; she's even hotter than she was when we broke up." Cole didn't feel love, either, but attraction – certainly.

"Look, we'll talk later, okay?" Phoebe stopped looking at him, but she turned to governor.

The meeting finished at 1:30 A.M., and everybody was dreadfully tired. Phoebe went out of the town hall with Maxim. Both of them kept yawning. "You know what, Max? See you tomorrow; I got some unfinished business to do here." Phoebe looked at Maxim, whose eyes were half-closed.

"Business? Here? Now?" Maxim opened his eyes and looked at his partner and best friend "I won't let you to come back to your house alone, you know, 'cause I would kill myself if something happens to you."

"I know how to fight, you know. Thanks, Max, I'll be fine, really."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. Bye!" Phoebe waved to him and than turned around to find Cole.

"Looking for me?" Cole said from behind her

"Yes. Look, I'll show you the house in which I live in, and you can pass by tomorrow if you want to talk to me. Okay?" Phoebe had normal tone of voice and she tried to pretend like they were never a couple. Their split-up only made her stronger and it made a great solider out of her, so she wasn't sorry they broke up, but she still didn't want to talk about it, 'cause Cole was the last person on planet she thought she would see again.

"Sure, no problem. You can just give me the direction, if you want..."

"Yes, I do. The street of Christopher Mungo, number 33. Do you know which street it is?"

"Well, it's the biggest street around here, of course I do."

"Well... Bye 'till than..." Phoebe was a little afraid of goodbye, 'cause kissing her ex wasn't the thing that was on her mind than. To avoid the misunderstandings, she turned around and tried to leave without any kisses.

"Phoebe?" Cole had a plan in his head. As she turned around, he kissed her, and he kept kissing her for the next 2 minutes. When he let her go, she just looked at him furiously. They were both breathing hardly.

"What's the matter? Afraid to admit that you still love me?" Cole played with her patience

"I DON'T LOVE YOU!!!" Phoebe was angry and tired, and that was never a good combination "YOU KISSED ME, I DIDN'T KISS YOU, MORON!!!"

"But I kissed you for two minutes and you didn't resist it. You still love me. Simple!"

"I...LOOK, I GOT NO TIME TO ARGUE WITH THE MORON LIKE YOU! BYE!"

"No, Phoebe... Here, I'll tell you : I... I just wanted to find out what you feel for me, nothing else. You know I would never hurt anybody on purpose. Anybody good, I mean"

"It's obvious that you've changed, so I don't know what to expect from you anymore. Bye, Cole..." Phoebe turned around, but Cole stopped her to go for the third time

"At least tell me if you're angry now."

"Me? No, I'm not. You're still kissing great, you know. Just... I would ask you not to do that ever again, ok? Promise me, Cole." Phoebe looked at Cole carefully

"Ever? I can promise you that I won't do it against your will ever again, but..."

"That's what I meant!" Phoebe quickly said

"Than I promise, Phoebe."

"Thanks. Um... Are you going this way, too?" she pointed at a dark alley in front of them

"Yes, I am. Let's go, I'll walk you home, okay."

"Okay, thanks"

"Phoebe?"

"What?"

"I'm sorry about the kiss..."

"Hey, don't mention it. And you're right - I didn't resist it."

So, what do you think about this story? Some of you may recognize the game this story is based on. Oh, I got to add few more things: 1. Nothing will happen between Phoebe and Max, they're just friends (Maxim is the name of my best friend, so I named Phoebe's best friend after him). 2. I know you may think that the events in this story are changing too fast (Phoebe and Cole met after a couple of years, and they already kissed and Phoebe already forgave Cole for kissing her against her will), but that's only in this chapter, next one wont be like this (it will be calmer and longer). 3. I'm sorry this chapter isn't very long (it's not short, either), but it's my birthday (this chapter was written on 26th of October), so I have a lot of things to do now. Oh, I almost forgot – R&R, please!!! Review, and tell me what you like and what you don't like! Please, review; it will be my birthday present!!!
