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: Hey, I'm glad you're all enjoying the story! Updates will be much more frequent now that school is over and summer has started. I have so many great ideas, which hopefully you'll like. Enjoy!
Halliwell Manor-Present
"Hey, watch how you talk to the woman I love," cries Ryan, rising from his seat. He and Andy are now standing toe-to-toe.
"She is mine, always has been and always will be. I was in the picture long before she even knew you," said Andy. He is fuming mad. No one lays claim to Prue when he loves her.
"Why don't you guys just sit and talk about this?" asks Leo, trying come into between the two enraged men.
"Stay out of this, Leo!" cries Andy, throwing Leo into the mirror. The glass shatters and Leo's face is all cut up. Ryan goes over and helps him.
"That's it, Andy, get outta here," yells Prue.
"You can't make me," says Andy, beginning to back out of the living room.
"Wanna bet?" asks Piper, angrily. No one hurts the man she loves and gets away with it.
"You wouldn't really use your powers on me, would you?" asks Andy, fear creeping into his voice.
"Try us!" threatens Phoebe, as she and her sisters grab hands.
"Next time you come into the home of the woman I love, you use manners," said Ryan, getting up. Andy has already walked into the foyer. Ryan telekinetically opens the front door and telekinetically pushes Andy out of the house. "And stay out."
Ryan rushes back into the living room and sees the sisters attending to Leo, who has 4 deep cuts on his face.
"Oh My God, Leo! I am so sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen," says Prue, apologetically. She blames herself for Leo getting hurt. Maybe if she and Ryan had stayed out of public until she had spoken to Andy, he wouldn't have come here all enraged.
"It's not your fault, Prue. You couldn't control his actions," says Leo, as Piper sits next to him and holds his hand.
"Prue, may I speak to you for a second?" asks Ryan, signaling for her to follow him into the sunroom.
She follows him.
"There's a spell in the Book that could heal him right up. Does he know about your secret?" asks Ryan. He felt bad that Leo had gotten hurt and he knew that Leo couldn't use his self-healing in front of the sisters.
"No, he doesn't," says Prue, sadly.
"That's not necessarily true," says Leo, weakly.
Prue and Ryan walk back into the living room.
"How did you hear that?" asks Prue. She had to play like she knew nothing. Her sisters have no idea that he is a whitelighter, let alone theirs and Ryan's.
"I think it's time I came clean about something," says Leo, allowing his self-healing to take effect. His cuts heal.
"Whoa!" cries Piper, getting up. "How'd you do that?"
"Because I'm a white-lighter," says Leo, rising to his feet. "I'm sort of like a guardian angels to witches and I'm yours and Ryan's."
"You're our white-lighter?" asks Phoebe, not believing her ears.
"You've known about our secret this whole time?" asks Prue, still playing along.
"Yes, I have and I wanted to tell you but I wasn't able to until the right time," explains Leo.
"You've been lying to me this whole time?" asks Piper, near tears.
"Piper, honey," said Leo, walking up to her and grabbing her hands. "I wanted more than anything to tell you but…"
"But what?" asks Piper, letting go of his hands.
"My assignment here may only be temporary because I fell in love with you, Piper," Leo tells Piper.
"You what me?" asks Piper, in disbelief.
"I love you," says Leo.
"I love you, too, Leo" Piper tells Leo.
They kiss.
"Aw, that was so sweet! I think I'm gonna cry," says Phoebe, wiping away a single tear droplet from her eye.
"I'm happy for them," says Prue, looking at Ryan, lovingly.
"Me too," says Ryan, as they kiss.
"Wait, Ryan, you knew Leo's secret?" asks Piper.
"Yes, I did. He's my whitelighter also, but I wasn't allowed to say anything," explains Ryan.
They nod.
"So, now everything is out in the open, no more secrets," says Phoebe.
Prue and Ryan lock eyes. It was not yet the time to tell the whole story, the real one.
Flashback-May 1995 (Con't)
Prue comes out of the bathroom and sees that Ryan is sitting on the couch.
"Feeling better?" asks Ryan, concerned. He really cares for her, even though he just met her.
"Yeah, much," says Prue, sitting down.
"So, I'm sure you have a lot of questions," says Ryan.
"What are you?" asks Prue, suddenly.
"I'm a witch," says Ryan.
"Is that how you did what you did?" asks Prue, leaning back on the couch.
"Yes, I have magical powers," says Ryan.
"And what was that?" asks Prue, referring to what had attacked them.
"That was a demon," says Ryan.
"Am I a witch too?" asks Prue, curious. She has to be to have used magical powers.
"Yes, you are. But, your destiny is yet to be uncovered," says Ryan, sounding cryptic.
"What do you mean?" asks Prue, leaning forward, curious to learn more.
"Let me explain," begins Ryan.
Andy's Apartment-Present
'How could she do that? How could she cheat on me? She knows that I love her and I know she loves me,' thinks Andy. 'Let me try calling her.'
Andy picks up the cordless and dials Prue's number.
The phone rings and rings but no one answer.
'Curious,' thinks Andy. 'Where could they be?'
Halliwell Manor-Basement
"So, we could empty out this part here and turn it into a training space. Ryan and I could teach you how to fight, hand-to-hand combat," says Leo, as they all walked through the basement. They obviously hadn't heard the phone.
"That's a great idea," says Piper, smiling. She felt so complete now that she and Leo had confessed their love for each other and that they knew each other's secrets.
"Prue, where's the bathroom?" asks Ryan.
"2 floors up, third door on the left," says Prue.
"Thanks," says Ryan, as he teleports out of the basement.
"Damn, that is such a cool power!" exclaims Phoebe.
Leo hears the call of one of his charges, and it happens to be Ryan.
"I have to go. One of my other charges is calling me," says Leo, orbing out.
"Orbing is also so cool. I want a cool power," whines Phoebe.
"You will Phoebe, we all will. You just gotta give it time, we've only been witches for a couple of months," says Prue.
Leo orbs into the bathroom, to find Ryan waiting for him.
"What's up, Ryan?" asks Leo.
"Leo, listen, I don't want you to tell Piper and Phoebe the real story. Prue and I aren't ready to tell them yet," says Ryan.
"Yeah, sure, whatever you guys want," said Leo.
"Also, don't mention to Prue the part of the story that she doesn't even know. Only you, me, and Penny know that," says Ryan.
"You got it," says Leo, orbing out.
Ryan looks at himself in the mirror. He knows he has to be honest with Prue about the whole story and that her sisters would eventually have to know the real story but it wasn't time yet.
Ryan teleports out of the bathroom.
