This is definitely my favorite chapter so far. Happy birthday PruelovesAndylovesPrue! Sorry it took so long to update.

Chapter 5

"Andy's back?" Piper asked in surprise.

"Yeah. So? What's the big deal?" Prue said, adjusting the phone to the other ear. She knew this would happen. As soon as she mentioned Andy's name, Piper and Phoebe would start to assume things.

"Nothing, I was just…surprised. You never mentioned him before today."

"No, well why would I? And I haven't spoken to you since I met him again."

"You should invite him over tomorrow."

"What? You mean to dinner? With us and Roger? Are you crazy?"

"He's an old family friend. And anyway, you have Roger now, and you said yourself, what's the big deal? I'd like to see him again, and I'm sure Phoebe would too."

"Fine."

"Good."

"Bye."

"What? Wait! Are you mad at me now?" Piper sounded amused.

"No," Prue lied.

"It's not as if you're interested in Andy in that way anymore anyway. Just invite him, Prue."

"I said I would, didn't I? But I do really need to go now."

"Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow. Don't forget to ask him."

"I won't! Bye!" Prue hung up. Dinner with Roger, Andy and her sisters. She could hardly think of anything more awkward, especially since Andy knew about Roger. She picked up the phone again, and dialed in Andy's number.

"Hello?"

"Hi Andy. It's Prue. I just called to ask if you were free tomorrow night, because Piper would like you to go to the manor. We're all having dinner." She didn't want Andy to think that it had been her idea.

"'All' being?"

"Piper, Phoebe and her latest boyfriend, me and Roger."

"Okay, I'll be there." Andy suddenly sounded a lot more sure that he'd be there than he had done a second ago.

"Seven okay?"

"Yes."

"That's great," Prue said unenthusiastically. "I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Bye Prue. Take care." Prue slammed the phone down, before he could say anything else. Tomorrow was going to be a very long evening.

Prue smiled at her sisters, flattening her cream dress with her free hand, trying to look pleased to be here.

"Phoebe!" She pulled her hand away from Rogers and hugged her youngest sister.

"Prue! Finally! I was beginning to get the feeling that you didn't want to see me!"

"Oh Phoebe. Why wouldn't I want to see you?" Phoebe raised her eyebrows and they both laughed.

"This is Cole," Phoebe told Prue happily. Prue smiled and shook hands with the man standing in front of her.

"Hi. Phoebe's told me so much about you."

"She has? Oh."

"Oh, it's mostly all good." Cole reassured her.

"It's the mostly part that concerns me," Prue said laughing.

"Hi. Not late, am I?" Prue's smile disappeared as she heard Andy's voice from behind her.

"Andy!" Piper was hugging him. "I haven't seen you in years! How have you been?" She ushered them all in and took their coats and jackets. Roger held onto Prue's arm tightly, but Andy was the only one who noticed. Her hair was covering the cut on her head, and the one on her cheek, which she had told Piper she had got from tripping on the stairs, had almost gone.

"Dinner's almost ready. You can all sit down. Get to know each other better." Piper disappeared into the kitchen, and the rest of them sat around the table. Prue found herself sitting next to Andy, and opposite Roger, who scowled at her. Piper served the food, and sat down herself. Prue hardly heard any of the talk that went on during most of the main course. Piper was asking Andy about the past six years, and Prue was avoiding eye contact with Roger. She looked up when she heard Roger saying her name.

"You used to date Prue? Prue never told me that. How interesting." Roger's voice sounded friendly enough, and he had a smile on his face, but Prue knew that later he would have something to say to her. "For how long?" He continued. Piper answered him, but Prue didn't hear what she said. Andy had placed a reassuring hand on her knee, under the table. She gave him a glance, but he was looking at Piper as she spoke. Prue, after getting over her initial shock, put her hand on top of his and took hold of it. The conversation had moved on to Cole, and Roger was looking daggers at Prue. Andy squeezed her hand and Prue ignored Roger, considering how he would react if he knew what she and Andy were doing now. Andy was absent mindedly playing with her hand and fingers.

"A lawyer, hmm?" Piper said to Cole, clearly impressed.

"It's not as good as it seems," Cole told her. Phoebe smiled at Piper.

"I think it is," Phoebe said happily.

"Prue, can you help me with desert?" Piper asked.

"Sure." Prue let go of Andy's hand and followed Piper into the kitchen.

"This is going well isn't it?" Piper said.

"Yeah," Prue said dully. "What do you think of Cole?"

"He seems nice enough. Phoebe could do, and has done, a lot worse."

"Yes. We'll see how long he lasts." Piper picked up an impressive cake.

"Oh Prue, Phoebe is not that bad. And she really likes Cole. I think this one might actually last. Grab the plates would you?"

"And you say she isn't that bad." Prue said, picking up the plates and following Piper to the table. When she sat down, Andy took hold of her hand again.

"So Prue, how's your head feeling?" Roger asked her unexpectedly.

"My head? Fine…" Prue tightened her grip on Andy's hand. Piper was frowning.

"Why wouldn't her head be feeling fine?" Piper asked.

"Didn't Prue tell you?" Roger asked innocently. Piper shook her head. "She had a car accident the other day." Prue clung even more tightly to Andy.

"Prue! Are you alright? Why didn't you call me?" Piper panicked.

"I'm fine. It was nothing." Prue glared at Roger. "I didn't need to worry you over nothing."

"I still would have liked to know," Piper said frowning. "You've been having a lot of accidents lately. First the stairs and now a car accident. Why can't you tell me?"

"Yeah, well I'm fine. It was hardly anything. What exactly was it you do again, Cole?" she said smiling at him, changing the subject and taking no notice of Piper's looks. Piper stood up and began picking up the plates.

"It's okay Piper. I'll do these."

"Are you sure?" Prue nodded, and took the plates from Piper.

"I'll help," Andy said casually. Only Roger eyed them suspiciously, but he had no choice except to follow the rest of them. Piper, Phoebe, Cole and Roger went into the lounge, and Prue and Andy went into the kitchen. Prue slammed the plates on the counter.

"I can't stand to go near him! He does it on purpose! And if I go in there now, he'll make me sit right next to him and he'll hold onto my arm with his nails, not letting go until we leave! Did you see the way he looked at us when he found out about high school? High school! Years ago!" Prue paused to take a deep breath and Andy caught hold of her arms.

"Calm down," he told her.

"I can't! I can't take it! His looks and his words and everything!" Andy pulled Prue into a hug. Prue pulled back slightly, and looked into his eyes. Andy smiled and Prue leaned her head forward. Andy did the same.

"Prue! What the hell are you doing!"

AN: You know the song in the last episode of season 1, where Andy…leaves, lets say? That is one of my three favorite songs! Now every time I hear it, I think of Charmed and Andy being…not in Charmed anymore. And I'm still crying every time I see that episode; my family is getting concerned that I'm locked up in my room not eating and just crying, even though I explained that I'm crying for Andy.
