A/N: Stupid site...I've gone through so many different things to try to make up for the lost symbols for time lapses...

Sorry bout the delay, people. I'm trying to work out ideas and get ready for tests and survive this thing called GYM class and deal with crappy teachers and too much homework, and pushy mothers. All I can do is count down the days till X-mas break...

I'm ringing out my brain out to get ideas, and some ideas are dripping out. That's good. So...Here's what I rang out.

"So…"

"So…what?"

"What will happen to us--them?"

"Huh?"

"To...To Piper and Leo...Please. Tell me. We've moved in time again, and I wasn't ready. I barely knew them. My sisters. You."

Leo was silent.

"We stayed only long enough to know a little. What will happen to them?"

"To us?"

"Yes. They were caught, I remember." Piper was curious. She wanted to know more about that life. They had disappeared only five minutes ago, turning up in the middle of nowhere. "What will happen to them?"

"They will fight the people of Camelot and Lioness."

"They'll fight for each other," Piper guessed.

"They will fight," Leo repeated.

"And…?"

"And…They will lose…And they will win…"

"What?"

"The city…Both countries are against them. She is…She leaves. She doesn't come back, and he eventually marries another. He thinks of his lost love everyday. His father dies and he and his wife take the throne… His wife has a child, and the baby dies of the fever when he was about a week old…"

"What else?"

"He considers one evening the possibilities of his life if he and his lost love had fought harder…He leaves the castle to find her."

"Does he?"

"He does." Leo sighed.

"And…"

"And…It had been five years since he had seen her, and a week after finding her, his men found him…"

"They were torn apart once more."

"Yes, and no. After a year, she returned to Camelot to find him…She had a baby with her, a little girl."

"His child."

"His, yes…The townsmen found out about her and their history…She was outlawed even from Lioness…One morning, he found his daughter in front of the door to his room…He went to find her mother, and when he reached her small home in the forests, it was in ruins. Burned down, her body inside."

"That's horrible."

"Despite the outbursts and the disagreements, he ordered that she be buried in the cemetery behind the castle with a Royal burial. Afterward, his wife raised the toddler as if she was her own…No one spoke of her real mother, and she assumed the Queen was her birthmother…She grew and married, and the Queen died shortly after. It was then he decided to tell her the truth…At first she hated him, then she understood. A few years passed, years full of stories and memories and tales of her true mother. He passed shortly after his daughter gave birth to a little boy…She ordered that he be buried beside his true love, and he was. She raised her son, and that's all I know about them…I wish I knew more, but…"

"It was terrible, what the people did to them."

"It was…"

"…So where are we?"

"West. Actually, more like the middle of America. Eighteen thirty-two…"

"Awesome…" Piper smiled.

1832

"Get the hell away from me!"

"C'mere, Girl!"

The hand grabbed her by the shoulder and spun her around to face what it was attached to. The ugly man…He was drunk, she knew that.

No way was she about to be taken by him. His short dark hair and bloodshot eyes…She hit his face and ran. He staggered backward, and got his balance as she ran out of the saloon. He chased after her and caught up. He threw her to the ground and she looked back up at him as he advanced on her.

She kicked him in the gut from the ground, and he fell onto his back. She started to scramble to her feet when his hand wrapped around her ankle and brought her down. She cried out as she fell back down and tried to crawl up once more.

A gun fired and the bullet flew past her face and into the arm attatched to the hand around her ankle. He howled in pain and fell back into the road. She was breathing as heavily as he was, both of their chests heaving up and down. She looked away from the squirming man and saw the people coming out onto the street, watching. She looked behind her to the man who fired the gun. He walked up to her and she struggled to push herself up and brush herself off before he reached her.

"Thanks," she muttered, taking her hat off momentarily to brush the dirt off of it, only to put it back on again, shading her eyes from the hot sun, "but I had everything under control."

"Thought you might need my help."

She laughed. "Never."

"Always," he corrected.

She took a step and tripped, falling to the ground. She groaned, pulling her pant leg up to look at the bruise left on her ankle.

Her rescuer knelt down beside her. "Piper…" he sighed. "He hurt you."

"No."

"Piper, he left a bruise on your leg. Come here." He stood up, but bent down to extend his hand for her to take. She looked up at it as if it were some foreign object, but after a moment, took it. He pulled her up easily to her feet, and she stood on one.

"Thanks, now let me go."

"Oh, no."

The man who had attacked her was carried away, alive, but smarter than he had been five minutes ago.

Piper stared up at the man who she just could not figure out for the life of her. "Why are you doing this? Just let me go home."

"Of course." He stepped aside and let her limp past him. He wouldn't have it. She would not walk home like that. He walked up to her and stopped her. "Still want to walk?"

"Yes," she growled, glaring at her boots. He was blocking her path. "Let me pass." She started to go around him.

"Oh no you don't." He stepped in front of her again and swept her body up into his arms. She was taken by surprise too much to react.

Once she figured out she was in his arms and he was carrying her down the road, she protested, her fists flying and her legs kicking. "Let me go! Leo, let me down! Lemme go! Bastard!"

He ignored her and walked to his horse. He set her on the mare and got on himself. Piper was silent until they rode up to her house. She had been grumbling threats under her breath the entire time, though.

Leo stopped the horse just at her porch. He didn't let her jump down. He got off the horse and looked up at her. She glared down at him until he held his arms out to her. Instead of protesting, though, she jumped into his arms. He caught her and lowered her to the ground. Again, she stood on one foot.

"I can make it from here."

"No," he told Piper, picking her up once more. This time, she punched him, but he kept walking. He walked her all the way into her house and into her bedroom, dropping her on the bed. He tipped his had to her and left.

A/N: So was it good? Bad? Okay? I've got some good ideas for the next chapter, so I better start writin!

By the way, yes, the chapters named "1832" are spoilers for Love is a Myth. You WILL see things, if not everything, which is most likely, taken from these chapters and used in Love is a Myth in the future...And because I love that story so much, I'm having fun writing some good Piper/Leo moments with it. Lots of fighting, some quiet moments, some sarcastic ones... 's all good!
