A/N: and so it continues.

16. Finding The Guy.

Prue and Krolan appeared in the living room once again, only to find nobody there. Prue suddenly let go off his hand, still mad at herself for the earlier conversation.

"Must be in the kitchen." she told Krolan, as she moved fluently through the house with him following close behind. Prue was proved right, finding them around the table, except Piper, who was busy cooking.

"Nice of you to join us." Paige quipped, eyeing the two carefully.

"Would have been here sooner, had you not left me." Prue glared.

"We assumed you had your taxi booked." Phoebe replied innocently, gesturing to Krolan.

Piper noticed as both Krolan and Prue blushed at the comment, and she decided to safe her sister from the obvious embarrassment the twoyounger sisters were causing.

"Do you want some food?…. I mean do Elder's eat?" she asked rather confused.

Krolan smiled, "Yeah, we do…but no thank you. I have to go. I'll…uh…be back soon." he answered and before any more was said, he vanished.

"What are you playing at?" Prue fumed. Now that he had left, she had free range to yell.

"Oh, come on, you two are completely hot for each other." Phoebe smirked with a shrug.

"Urgh, you lot are unbelievable." the oldest seethed, raising her hands in frustration.

"Hey, I had nothing to do with it." Piper defended herself, not really wanting to be on Prue's bad side.

"Prue, I really don't see a problem. You like him, he obviously likes you." Paige replied.

Her oldest sister gave a hollow laugh in response,

"Really, you don't. Did one fact escape your tiny minds. He's an Elder. He lives Up There. He belongs Up There." she then stormed out the room, more angry at herself, then them but there was only so much inside yelling she could do.

"And you wonder why the youngest are the most naive." Piper muttered, to preoccupied with her cooking to notice the glares she was receiving from Paige and Phoebe.

They both turned to Leo, hoping for some support. However he pulled a face, telling them he'd rather stay out of it.

Finally they turned to each other. The two wondered if they actually did something wrong. We only wanted her to be happy, Paige thought, knowing Phoebe was thinking the same.

----------

A short time later, Piper knocked on Prue's bedroom door with her foot, trying not to spill the tray she held.

"Come in." she heard.

At her attempt to move the tray, Piper sighed and gave up. "Can I have some help." she called instead.

The door opened and Piper noticed her sister was still sat by the window. She knew instantly Prue had used her telekinesis.

"Your powers are making you lazy." Piper commented rather amused, as she moved into the room.

"Hypocrite." Prue laughed, "Plus, I'm not the one who uses my powers right before…."

"Okay," the youngest replied loudly, before the sentence could be finished, "I gathered you didn't feel like coming downstairs, so I thought I'd bring yours up here."

"Thanks." Prue smirked, knowing she had won.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wipe that grin off your face." Piper responded, placing the tray done on the side. Then she went to sit down next to Prue. "So, you like him?" she asked, wanting to be of some help.

Prue sighed deeply. If she was honest, that's what she wanted to work out. "I don't know. He's a really sweet guy."

"The problem is he's not a guy, so to speak." Piper interpreted.

"No, he's an Elder."

"That sounds weird in itself." she laughed, seeing a small smile grace Prue's face.

"Tell me about it."

"I can tell you one thing. Paige was right, he does like you. You should have seen him at that meeting. He hardly moved his eyes from you and he wasn't very good at hiding the smile either." Piper told her, resting her hand on her sister's.

"It's typical, really. I mean Krolan; Elder, way out of reach. Bane; jail…..and the one man I actually saw something with, dies." Prue explained. "I think I'm destined for a life alone with a lot of cats." she chuckled emptily, although she knew Piper would see through it.

"Sweetie, you'll find your guy." Piper responded. She knew how much it hurt Prue to talk about Andy.

"I already did, Piper, when I was four." Prue sighed, barely above a whisper.

The younger sister was silent, not knowing what to say to that. She didn't know what it felt like and whatever she did say, may just sound empty.

"…and Krolan's nice.." the oldest continued, only louder, "..one of best guys I've met in a long time, but his an Elder. What's the point in even thinking about it when it's not possible?…..God, I hate rules and this whole greater good crap at times."

Piper laughed, knowing the feeling well. She didn't want to push Prue about her earlier statement. An emotional Prue was hard to deal with, it very rarely happened so they were usually unprepared. She wanted to get her sister to open up, but she was scared at what might be opened.

"Me too, sweetie." she smiled. "Also, we're not having anymore cats. Kit's enough. You'll just have to put up with me….and your niece," Piper added quietly.

Prue laughed shortly, "It's probably safer."

Piper squeezed her sister's hand, "Don't give up quite yet, Prue?" she stood and headed for the door.

"Piper." Prue called.

"Yeah." she replied, turning back to her sister.

"I'm happy you found your guy."

Piper smiled at the thought of Leo. Then it faded as she remembered what Prue had said minutes ago. "I'm happy you found yours Prue, I'm just sorry he's not around."

Prue smiled softly, bringing her knees up to her chest and resting her arms on them, "It's okay, he's not that far."

Piper smiled, then left, closing the door behind her. Although neither had spoken Andy's name, it was obvious they were talking about him. Prue's heart had always belonged to Andy, and his belonged to her.

The situation only made Piper want to go and find her husband, hoping he would never have to leave.

A/N: There you go.

This whole Prue and Krolan thing is more about what he represents... but there's still more of it, sorry to those who don't like.
