A/n: Yes, I so seriously suck for the whole Piper love at first sight thing but I dropped hints to why she felt that way, no idea if you got them but they're there and I won't tell you what they are, you'll find out why she did in this chapter anyway so whatever.

"Miss... Miss are you alright?" the man asked. Piper snapped out of her trance like state and nodded. "Are you sure Piper?" he asked concerned. Piper suddenly put her guard up, "How do you know my name?" "It says so right here, on your wallet." He said pointing to the inscription. "Oh..." she muttered as he handed it to her. She realized she was being way to over protective. "So you know my name, shouldn't I know yours?" she asked smiling.
"Eric, so Piper would you like to, I don't know, go get dinner?" he asked. "I would love to." She answered quickly. She wondered if he had felt the same thing she felt... "What about that little café that's not very far from here, I'm not sure what it's called." Eric said grinning a million-dollar grin. "Sure..." she said feeling weak in the knees. "Well my house is right there, we can take my car." He said gesturing to a house.
Piper smiled and nodded before following him over to the house and then the black car. They both got in and he waited until Piper looked out of the window before putting his hand up to the key hole and waving it making the car magically start. Then they backed out and headed towards the café.
"Hey!" a man yelled as he ran out of the house seeing his car backing out of his driveway. "Hey get back here!" Leo orbed into some bushes and walked out. "What's going on?" he asked the man. "Somebody just stole my car!" he said motioning to where his car had been.
Leo didn't bother with him he had the problem with finding Piper. He couldn't sense her, she was to new to her powers, but he knew she couldn't have gone far because he saw her car in the driveway. "She's must be a fast runner..." he muttered to himself. He saw the man who's car was stolen run inside, obviously to call the police. He realized that this was hopeless if he couldn't sense her so he orbed back to the Halliwells.
"Phoebe you have to scry." He said before he had even completely materialized. "Oh god Leo!" Phoebe shouted jumping. "Sorry, I lost her, you have to scry for her." Leo said. "Um, okay..." she said running upstairs to the attic and laying out the map then getting the crystal. Leo orbed away just as Phoebe was about to say they needed something of Pipers. "Great..." she muttered frowning but then Leo orbed back in holding something.
"What's this?" she asked as he handed her a blanket. "Something of hers, found it at her apartment." Phoebe looked at the blanket and saw it had Piper's name on it and the triquetra... Phoebe took it realizing and smiled. Each of them had had one of these, each with their names on it. She realized it wasn't exactly time to go down memory lane so she quickly started scrying.

"Thank you for dinner, and thanks for taking me home." Piper said as she and Eric stood outside of her apartment. "No problem, I really like you Piper." Eric said smiling. She looked into his beautiful eyes again and a warm feeling rushed over her. Then a bad feeling, a very bad feeling followed and made it hard for her to breathe. "Um... well good-bye." She said quickly running inside. She leaned against the door as the feeling went away and she took deep breaths.
"Damn it!" Eric whispered angrily from outside of her apartment he shimmered out and into the warlock den. "You failed, and I thought your little love eyed spell would work." The other warlock said not looking up from the giant screen that looked into Piper's apartment and showed her still leaning against the door. "Damn witch..." Eric muttered. "Don't worry, the forty-eight hour window will be open for forty-six hours, we have time." The warlock said making Eric grin evilly as he morphed into a demon and his beautiful brown eyes turned ugly and gray.

"Got it!" Phoebe shouted as the crystal landed. "Wait that's her apartment..." she said frowning. "I spend two hours scrying and I get that? I could have guessed that!" Leo rolled his eyes and orbed out and into Piper's apartment. He looked around and saw Piper leaning against the door. "Are you okay?" he asked causing her to jump up. "What are you doing here?" she asked seeing him. "I'm here to talk to you..." Leo said.
"How did you get in here?" Piper asked ignoring his answer. "I orbed." He replied. "Orbed?" she asked confused. He demonstrated and her eyes widened. "What the hell are you?" she asked shakily. "Whitelighter, kind of a guardian angel that watches over good witches." He told her. "Witches? Is that what They are?" she asked. "And you." He said making her roll her eyes. "Ha, I don't think so, I have never been able to move things with my mind or anything like that."
"You froze time." He said calmly. "That was me?" she asked in disbelief. He nodded causing her eyes to widen as she went over to the couch and sat. "But... I've never been able to do that before..." she said looking blankly at nothing. "You just got your power when you stepped into the house." He told her. "How... how does it work?" she asked. "I'm not sure, you've gotta find your trigger." He told her as he sat down by her.
"What's yours for your power?" she asked curiously. "Love." He answered smiling slightly. Piper found herself smiling back at him and her stomach did a summersault. "Piper I know this is a lot to take in but your sisters have been looking for you for a long time and they don't want to lose you again." Leo said gently. "But what if I don't want this, I mean I want my family I just... Well I saw those things..." Piper stuttered.
They sat there in silence for a little while, mainly because Leo couldn't think of anything to say. All the whitelighter training on talking to people and he couldn't think of one thing to say to her. "What were those... things, anyway?" Piper asked finally. "Demons." He answered making her go deathly pale. "D-Demons... Okay..." she muttered. "You know your sisters don't exactly love to deal with them either." Leo told her.
"So why do they?" she asked. "They like helping people and they get to this way." He said. "Look Piper, like it or not, the world needs good magic to help keep evil magic from taking over, your sisters are helping in that." There was another silence, like Piper trying to take everything in she'd let herself forget about over the past three hours. "Those demons, are they going to come after me?" Piper asked.
"Look, there are chooses, when you have your powers, demons will come after you, but your sisters could strip them for you and demons won't come." Leo told her praying that she would keep them. "They didn't have a choice did they?" she asked quietly. "No," he answered truthfully. "I guess, if this is my destiny..." she decided. He smiled and took her hand. She felt tingles up her spine and didn't completely hear him when he said he would take her to her sisters.

A/n: I'm stopping the chapter there just because I wanted to end it with a nice Piper/Leo moment! See you understand why she fell in love at first sight, but now that Leo's come she's completely forgotten about him! Thanks for all the reviews! I didn't quite make it to ten this time (six still isn't bad) but if you could help me make it to fourteen this time then you'll have made up PLEASE! And by the way I'm changing the title of the fic so if you can think of a good one put it in your review or email me or IM me, whatever.
