Part 1

"Romeo, Romeo. Wherefore art thou Romeo?" Piper Halliwell's voice was filled with passion as she stared into her Romeo's beautiful and wise eyes

Leo Wyatt stared back into her eyes, which constantly betrayed her feelings. He leaned over and gently kissed her soft, round lips.

"Hey!" she exclaimed. "That's not in the book!"

"Well, it's about time Shakespeare had some changes," Leo told her lightly.

"Hmm, maybe we should try it again. Just to make sure the changes fit."

Leo nodded.

Just as they leaned in for another kiss, a voice interrupted them.

"Oops, sorry," said the male voice.

The couple looked up and saw Cole Turner standing in the doorway, looking not the least bit sorry.

'He always shows up at the worst moments!' Leo thought, cursing the half-demon.

Piper pushed Leo off of herself and scrambled to her feet. "It's okay. We were just going to go get a wiccan workout anyway," she answered, straightening out her clothes.

Cole watched her with a self-satisfied smile painted of his deceptively old face. "That's what I need to talk to you about. The demon."

"What is it?" Leo inquired, putting his personal feelings for the man aside.

Cole looked up, a startled look on his darkly handsome face; as though he'd forgotten Leo was still there. "Maybe you should go check with the Elders, see what they know."

Leo opened his mouth to argue, but Piper interrupted. "Good idea. Go ahead, Leo."

The whitelighter stared at Piper with an expression identical to that of a wounded puppy. After several seconds, he sighed and his body disappeared in a swirl of blue orbs.

Piper turned to Cole, trying not to think about how good-looking he was and how attracted she felt to him. "Now what about the demon?"

Cole stared hard at Piper for a few seconds. She tried to read his face, but couldn't. He took a step closer, as if going to look at the Book of Shadows, but Piper instinctively knew that wasn't what he wanted. Cole watched with an amused smile as she deliberated her next move in her mind. Instead of moving a step back like she should have, she took a step in, leaving no space in between them. Piper stared up at him and Cole looked right back down at her. She searched his eyes for something, anything that would tell her what she should do next. All she saw was what he wanted her to do, not what she should do. Finally, after what seemed like an hour, she made up her mind.

"We can't get caught," she warned him.

Cole shook his head. "No, we can't…"

Piper nodded her consent and a slight smile spread across Cole's face. He turned to the attic door and closed it telekinetically.

"…and we won't" he finished.
