Hey, sorry about the delay. I've had this chapter ready for a few days but I got really sick and stayed in bed...Okay, I'm still in bed, but anyway...I reread it and changed a few little things that made it better, because if I'm gonna hand you guys a short chapter it'd better be good, right? Well I'll say that this chapter should leave you guessing.

Thanks to:

Magical Princess: Awesome is good!

chattypandagurl: 5 - Ooh, a new reviewer! Hello! Yeah, I love Piper/Leo moments...I'm good at writing them, too, as far as I can see...

scullymulder1234: Huh?

winter blaze: Early? It was like ten at night over here in Boringville.

Samantha: You DID wait, didn't you?

Michelle: Glad you love it! I think it's a pretty good story, too! (Hi, I'm Hannah, but my friends like to call me Captain Ego)

foureverCharmed: Muah! Muah! Muah! Muah! I just wanna thank... jumps up THE LITTLE PEOPLE! Whoa...headrush...

patricia: I know, you can't expect much else from me except a great chapter! You know, I wrote like twenty pages of one fic in like one night. I was up until about 6:30AM. And they were twenty AWESOME pages! Something about nighttime...I do love the night...And if obviously loves me! I had to add input from the present Piper and Leo otherwise the whole thing would have just been another chapter of Love is a Myth, since that's what the whole 1832 time period is based on.

cattypandagurl: Was it a short chapter??? Huh...I didn't look. lol.

CrazyGabs: Glad you love it!

piperleo4eva: Thanks, I'm workin' on it.

melodieeidolem: Thanks!

"What happened? Why is she angry?" Piper asked urgently.

"Um…I'm not sure…" Leo shook his head.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I've never been able to see this far."

"What does that mean? Does that mean he--you--whatever…Does that mean you die?"

"I don't know…I think so."

It was three days before Joanne got home. Piper was lying in bed. She'd made a little food for Prue and Phoebe, but they'd baked bread later when they'd gotten hungry.

"Piper?" Joanne came into Piper's room. "Piper, Prue and Phoebe say you've been in bed all day. That true?"

Piper nodded, staring up at the ceiling.

"What's wrong, dear? You ain't sick are ya?"

Piper shook her head. "Not sick…No…"

"What's wrong, then?" Joanna sat down on the bed beside the girl who came to be her daughter at age three. She pushed some hair out of Piper's face. "Piper…" she said quietly.

Tears started to well up in Piper's eyes.

Joanne took a stab in the dark. "Something happened with that Wyatt, huh?"

A tear slid down Piper's cheek. She was lying on her back so the wet tear slid down to her ear. Joanne wiped it away with her thumb.

"What happened?"

Piper sobbed quietly. She rolled over and hugged Joanne's leg and cried silently.

"Somethin' happen to him?"

Piper shook her head. "No…He, uh…"

"What'd he do?"

"God, he got so close…And I was so ready for him to pull away, and…"

"He kissed you," Joanne guessed.

Piper nodded frantically. "Yes! And I couldn't pull away! I tried, but…" Piper sobbed and shook her head. "I can't face him now…"

"When did this happen?"

"Three days ago…" Piper sobbed. "I can't face him…I haven't seen him…"

"Oh my…You two are certainly a strange couple…"

"We are not a couple! We ain't married, and we ain't gonna be!"

Joanne chuckled. "Okay, honey…Okay…"

Piper ended up at the saloon that night. She had a few drinks and was falling asleep at the bar counter when Leo walked in. He made a beeline for her and sat beside her on a stool. Piper turned to face the opposite direction.

Neither of them said anything for a moment. Piper started to relax, staring at the wooden wall. She took in a sharp breath when she felt his hand on her arm.

"Piper…"

She didn't turn around. She couldn't.

"Can you come outside?"

She didn't nod or shake her head. She just stood up and left. Leo followed. He followed her around to the side of the saloon. She was determined not to be backed up against that wall, though. There was no way she was going to let herself be vulnerable.

"Piper, look…I never should have kissed you."

"Damn right you shouldn't have!" Piper exclaimed.

"But I'm not sorry I did."

That caught Piper off guard. She looked up at Leo. "What?"

He stepped forward and she backed away. "I said I'm not sorry."

Piper groaned. "Leo…"

"No, Piper. I'm not sorry at all. You shouldn't be sorry, either."

Piper sighed. "But I am."

Leo shook his head. "No you're not," he chuckled. "I know you're not."

"It should never have happened."

"Maybe you're right. But you're glad it did."

Piper stepped back and found herself against the side of the saloon. Damn it!

Leo moved up to her. As he moved closer, she started breathing heavier, her mind racing with thoughts of three nights before.

He moved closer and locked her hand near her waist in his. Her eyes shot down to her hand, then back up to meet his own eyes. Her breath came faster.

"…Leo, please don't."

"Don't what?"

"…Don't…Don't pull away from me," she whispered.

He shook his head slightly and kissed her deeply. He made sure to go slow; he was in no rush. When he pulled away, Piper's eyes were closed. She opened them slowly.

"Thank you," Piper whispered.

He kissed her again, just as passionately but this time with a quicker pace. He pressed his body against hers, pushing her against the wooden side of the building.

"Leo…"

"What?"

"Will you take me back to the hotel you're staying at?"

"No."

"To my house, then?"

Leo shook his head and Piper's face fell. "No. Not tonight. You drank too much. I can't risk your trust now," he said as he backed away a couple of steps.

"I don't trust you. I just want one night."

"No."

"Why?"

"You're drunk."

"I'm always drunk!"

Leo shook his head.

"I'll sober up!"

"Then I'll tell you what just happened here and you'll hit me."

"I won't hurt you."

Leo chuckled. "It never did hurt…Okay, once. When you hit me in the face…That kind of hurt," he admitted.

Piper grinned and giggled. "I won't hurt you." She stepped up to him and put her hands on his chest.

"You could never hurt me."

"Then why won't you—"

"Because I don't want to hurt you."

Piper seemed to sober up right then and there. She gazed at Leo as her hand raised slowly to cup his cheek. Very slowly, she pulled him down to kiss her. The kiss became more passionate very quickly.

"Please…Please, Leo, let's get out of here…Take me away from here."

Leo looked down at Piper. She was actually begging him to take her. He stared into her eyes for a second before kissing her.

"So can we go? Leave?"

Leo didn't answer.

"We can always come back when I get sober. We'll bring lots of whiskey and I can stay happy with you forever."

He still didn't say anything.

"What's wrong, Leo? Why are you afraid of me?" Piper moved closer to Leo. "I asked you not to pull away from me and you didn't. Now I'm telling you. Don't pull away from me, Leo."

This time it was Piper who kissed Leo. When they pulled apart he called his horse and helped Piper onto the mare. She turned around to look down at him, her eyes asking when he was going to join here. In a silent answer, he stuck his foot in the stirrup and swung onto the saddle behind her. He took the reins of the horse.

"Where are we going?"

"Away. You said you wanted to go away."

Leo gave the mare a short kick in the flanks and she broke into a swift gallop into the night.

I'm not going to say anything about anything. I'll say nothing about Leo dying and I'll say nothing about where theywent that nightor what happened to them. I won't say anything about what WILL happen to them.

That's it for 1832. I'm moving on to 1942—That's right, World War II...and Lily. ::laughs evilly:: I'm going to try to contradict the show as much as possible in this time period, because they SCREWED UP in Season 2, Pardon My Past. They made Leo alive in 1924 as an adult, when he was ALREADY BORN! He was just born, according to the show. The show is so confused...Charmed has confused itself...But never fear, for Hannah is here!!!!!

Okay, so no one knows what happens to them at the closing of their time together in 1832, or at least the closing of the time we get to share with them...hehehe...I can't get too far into it otherwise I'll be giving away too much for Love is a Myth. But these chaptersin 1832were all spoilers for Myth...You'll see.

Bye bye Old West...Hello World War II...

::laughs hysterically like an idiot::

(ahem) Don't forget to review.
