Also, thanks for all your reviews. And all you Piper/Cole authors please continue with you work!!!

Lunch Break

--------

"Cole?" Piper choked out.

"Piper?" Cole asked at the same time.

"You two know each other?" Phoebe asked.

"You two know each other?" Cole asked Phoebe and Piper.

"You two know each other?" Piper asked incredulously to Cole and Phoebe.

"We're engaged," Phoebe said eyeing everyone.

"Why didn't you tell me you were engaged to Phoebe?" Piper asked Cole.

"I didn't know you knew her," Cole said, he looked at everyone, but at Piper. When he talked to her, he stared at the ground or at Andy, beside her.

"We all went to high school together," Paige said.

"How do you two know each other?" Phoebe asked Cole and Piper.

"We met a couple of days ago," Cole said.

"Funny how he forgot to mention he was engaged," Piper smiled.

Only Cole, Paige, and Andy knew that smile was sarcastic.

"Really?" Phoebe smiled.

"Yeah," Piper nodded her head.

Cole still looked away from her.

"This is great! We all know each other! Why don't we have lunch together and catch up?" Phoebe announced.

"NO!" Cole said.

Phoebe looked at him.

"I mean, don't you think they have some other things to do. We've still got some stuff to take care of," Cole covered up.

"Yeah," Paige said for Piper.

Andy just stared at everyone with a look of amusement.

"Everyone has got to eat. Nobody's too busy for lunch. I insist," Phoebe said.

--------

Everyone stared at each other not saying anything. They were on a street side café. It was a nice place and the weather was just right. Andy sat between Piper and Paige and they faced Cole and Phoebe.

"So, tell me, how was Phoebe in high school," Cole said breaking the silence. He casually put his arm around Phoebe, eyeing Piper's reaction.

Piper stared at him. Cole didn't look back. Piper looked over at Paige. Paige gave her look that said 'is he the one?' Piper gave a slight nod. Andy seemed amused by the stares that were going around.

"Seriously, Cole. I'm sure you don't want to know about that," Phoebe smiled nervously.

"You know high school. We were each a different person," Paige smiled.

"Yeah, Prue and Andy ruled the school," Piper said.

"Paige was always trying to be social and Piper was the quiet one. Phoebe, well, Phoebe was part of the 'gang'," Andy said still finding everything amusing.

Phoebe looked flustered. She tried to cover up for it. "People change. It was funny how nobody knew you, Paige, and Prue were related."

Piper, Andy, and Paige shared a fake laugh with Phoebe.

"I heard about Prue. I'm so sorry to hear that," Phoebe said. She turned to Cole. "You know the actress, Prue Trudeau? She's their sister."

Cole nodded with what seemed to be interest. "Really?"

"What about...um... your daughter, right? How is she?" Phoebe asked politely.

"She's great," Andy answered. He seemed irritated by that question. Piper and Paige knew how he felt. In high school, Phoebe never gave a damn about them. She was always trying to talk back to Prue. Andy didn't want her interest now.

"Look, Andy. I know how you feel about me. I want you to know that I'm a changed person. I now have an advice column for a newspaper. I'm quite successful with it," Phoebe said.

Andy smiled and nodded his head. "So when's the big day?"

"Coming up. In three months," Cole said.

"You know, it's so much planning," Phoebe said. "Why don't you give me your address and phone number. We'll mail you a wedding card. I'd love it if you guys came."

Phoebe handed Paige a sheet of paper and pen from her purse. Paige looked at Piper and then wrote her address. Andy followed. Piper held onto the paper.

"I'm moving soon. It's going to be the same address as Paige's," Piper said.

"Oh, just go ahead and give me your current address. We can visit each other," Phoebe waved her hand.

Piper wrote her address.

"So tell me," Phoebe put the paper back in her purse. "Anyone seeing anybody special?" her question seemed to be directed more towards Piper.

Cole looked uncomfortable.

"Well, I'm not seeing anyone," Paige said.

"Neither am I. I have dedicated my life to my daughter," Andy said.

"That's sweet. Piper?" Phoebe asked.

"Well, can't seem to find the right man these days," Piper said. She really wanted to say something about Cole.

Paige gave Piper a look saying, 'do something to the bastard!'

"Oh, you'll find someone," Phoebe took Cole's hand. "I did."

Everyone smiled. Cole looked relieved that Piper didn't say anything about the kiss. Everyone ordered lunch and then ate.

"The food is delicious," Piper said.

"Well, if you say it's delicious, I'll believe you," Andy said.

Phoebe raised an eyebrow.

"Piper has a special talent for the fine art of cooking," Paige said smiling.

"Oooooh. Maybe you can help us decide for the wedding," Phoebe said.

Piper smiled shyly. Cole gave Piper a look that said, 'why didn't you tell me you liked to cook?'

Phoebe got up and took Cole with her. "We've got some more planning and things to take care of. It was nice talking to you! Hope to see you soon and don't forget about coming to the wedding."

"Bye!" Andy, Paige, and Piper said. They were still eating, they couldn't understand how Phoebe finished quickly. Even Cole wasn't completely done.

Phoebe left smiling and didn't turn back. Cole looked back once at Piper with confused look.

"I don't see what her hurry was," Paige said taking a sip of her drink.

"They weren't completely through," Piper said putting her fork down.

A waiter approached their table.

"Bitch!" Andy muttered under his breath.

Paige and Piper looked at him surprised.

"She left us with the bill," Andy said as the waiter left the bill on their table.

"Well, no wonder the food was delicious," Paige said. "It's sooo expensive."

"I'll take care of it," Piper said getting her credit card out.

"No, its alright. We'll chip in, too," Paige said.

"I got it," Piper handed her credit card to the waiter. She signed the bill.

The waiter looked at the signature. "Can I have your autograph?" he asked nervously.

Piper smiled and gave it to him.

Piper, Andy, and Paige got up.

"I should be picking up Patty from my sister's now. Do you guys want to come with me?" Andy asked.

Piper and Paige just nodded.

"Be careful with my sister. She may not be so nice to you guys," Andy said.

"We'll understand," Piper said.

"I can't wait to see her!" Paige exclaimed.
