Meant To Be Chapter 8!

Disclaimer: Penny, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe Halliwell don't belong to me, as do Andy Trudeau, Leo Wyatt, Darryl Morris and any other characters that appear on the show. Quake also doesn't belong to me. The idea for this story belongs to me. Please e-mail me with any comments you may have at

Author's Note: I am happy to say that I see at least 15 chapters in this story, if not more. There will be many flashbacks in this story and they are used to explain things to you, the reader. Some chapters might not have any flashbacks, some chapters may have all flashbacks, or some may be partly flashbacks; it depends on the chapter. Many of you have been wondering when Andy will come into the picture and my answer is soon. I'm sorry this chapter took so long to post but I had computer problems and personal stuff, which prevented me from posting.
This chapter should answer some of your questions about Ryan and his history with Prue. Hope you like it!

Halliwell Manor

Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Ryan have gathered in the living room. Prue and Ryan are sitting on one couch and Piper and Phoebe are sitting on the couch, across from them.

"So, are you a witch?" asks Phoebe, breaking the silence.

"Yes, I am, have been for 7 years," says Ryan.

"What are your powers?" asks Piper.

"Telepathy, Glamour, Telekinesis, Deflection, and Teleporting. I also have miscellaneous offensive powers," says Ryan.

"Wow! That's a lot of powers," says Piper.

"I'm also really good making potions and writing spells and I have a Black Belt in Martial Arts," explains Ryan.

"Damn, good-looking, powerful, and smart. What a catch!" cries Phoebe.

Ryan blushes. "Thank you."

"Is the Telepathy what you used to tap into our minds when we were sleeping?" asks Piper.

"Yes, it is," says Ryan.

"Prue, did you know that he was a witch?" asks Phoebe.

"Yes, I did. I had always known," says Prue.

"Is that why you guys split up?" asks Piper.

"No, there were other reasons," says Prue.

"I'm not sure if you know but I'm a prominent lawyer at Gold, Heart, & Finch. I was to be transferred to Las Vegas for 2 and ½ years to run a new law firm. I asked Prue to come with me but because of your grandmother, she declined. And then, we ended things," explains Ryan. He has to come up with some type of cover; her sisters couldn't know the truth.

Ryan and Prue lock eyes, both hoping that her sisters believe what Ryan has said.

"Ok, but how do you know that we have powers?" asks Piper.

"When Prue and I spoke, I told her that I knew about your secret. I told her that I know you guys are the Charmed Ones," explains Ryan, lying again. He has to make everything sounds good so her sisters would loose their suspicions. "Everyone knows who the Charmed Ones are, even though you're new to your powers."

"How come you didn't just tell us? Why be secretive?" asks Phoebe.

"We didn't wanna make a big deal out of it," says Prue.

"Ok. Ryan, from whom did you get your powers?" asks Piper.

"My parents. Both of them were witches," says Ryan.

"From whom did you get your rugged good looks?" asks Phoebe.

Ryan laughs. "I don't know. I guess it's just hereditary."

"What size shoe do you wear?" Phoebe asks Ryan. Phoebe knows that his shoe size would give her the size of something else.

Ryan opens his mouth to answer but Prue silences him. "Don't answer that. Phoebe, stop with the cheap come-ons to the man I love." Phoebe is really starting to annoy her. She understands that Ryan was attractive, or god damn sexy, but Phoebe knows that Ryan is hers.

"Sorry, but he's just, RAH!" says Phoebe.

Ryan blushes.

"Ok, that's enough Phoebe," says Piper. Secretly, Piper is a bit happy that Phoebe had now taken a liking to Ryan instead of Leo, but she knows how Prue feels because she remembered the days when Phoebe did like Leo.

Leo walks into the room.

"Hey, Leo," says Phoebe.

"Hey," says Leo, walking over to Piper and kissing her.

"Leo Wyatt, this is Ryan Scott. Ryan Scott, this is Leo Wyatt," introduces Prue.

"Pleased to meet you," say Leo and Ryan simultaneously, as they shake hands.

Neither Piper nor Phoebe could know that Leo and Ryan know each other because Leo is Ryan's whiteligher and Ryan is his charge. They would have to act like they didn't know each other.

"What's going on?" asks Leo.

"We were just talking," says Prue.

"So, Ryan, tell us what it's like to be a prominent lawyer at Gold, Heart & Finch," says Piper.

They break off into discussion.

Flashback-May 1995 (Con't)

Prue is sitting on Ryan's living room couch, shaking. What she had seen as well as done freaked her out. Ryan enters the living room with a glass of water and hands it to her.

"Thanks," says Prue, sipping the water. Ryan smiles.

"I know you must have some questions and I'm ready to answer them," Ryan tells Prue.

"Where's your bathroom?" asks Prue, suddenly covering her mouth. "I think I'm gonna throw up."

"It's down the hall, second door on the left," yells Ryan, as Prue runs down the hall to the bathroom.

Obviously, what she has seen and done has shaken her to her core. It was so much that it made her physically sick.

In a flash of light, Penny Halliwell appears before Ryan.

"Penny, nice to see you," says Ryan. "Water?"

"No, thanks," says Penny. "What happened with Prue?"

"She tapped into her powers and used them," explains Ryan. "But, she's now in the bathroom it made her so sick."

"No surprise there. This is very scary," says Penny. "I wish we didn't have to do it like this but there's no other option."

"I'm here to explain everything to her and help her, when she's ready," says Ryan.

"Thanks, Ryan. I have to go now. I'll check back in later," says Penny, disappearing in the same flash of light, with which she arrived.

Ryan pours himself a glass of water and sits thinking. In a few minutes, he would change Prue Halliwell's life forever!

Halliwell Manor-Present

Everyone is talking, when they hear a loud knock at the door.

"Prue, open up, it's Andy," cries Andy, banging on the door.

"Uh-oh, Andy," says Prue.

"I'll get it," said Piper, heading to the door.

Piper opens the door. "Oh, Andy, what a nice surprise!"

"I know she and him are here," cries Andy, bursting into the living room.

Andy sees Prue and Brian. "I knew it. You cheating slut."

Prue stares at him, in horror.

Author's Note: Ok, well, here's chapter 8. I hope it was worth the wait! Again, sorry for the wait but due to computer problems and personal issues, I was unable to post. I will now be posting once every week (most likely on the weekends) until the summer begins. So, how was it? Was it good? Did you like it? I hope the answers to these questions are good, yes, and yes. Will the flashbacks give key information to Prue and Ryan's history? How did Prue receive her powers before her and sisters said the incantation? Was Grams a part of this? What will happen with Andy? Will Prue really choose Ryan over Andy? Answers coming soon! Stay tuned to find out! Chapter 9, coming soon! In the meantime, please REVIEW!
