A Blast From The Past

"Yes I'll marry you Leo," said Piper hugging him.

"Oh that's fantastic," said Leo kissing Piper.

"Congratulations, you two," said Prue standing up and going over to hug her sister and Leo.

"We always knew you'd be the first to get married," said Phoebe also hugging her sister and Leo.

"Yeah congratulations," said Cole hugging Piper and shaking Leo's hand, "well I better get off to work, I'm getting a new partner today," said Cole heading to the door.

"Hey, do I not get a kiss goodbye?" asked Phoebe with a sly smile on her face.

"Of course you do," said Cole kissing Phoebe. Cole opened the manor door and walked down the path where climbed into his silver BMW and drove away.

Phoebe closed the door and walked back into the living room. There was a sudden sound of jingling, they all looked at the ceiling.

"The Elders are calling," said Leo standing up.

"I want to go with you," said Piper standing up and facing Leo.

"Um Piper, are you forgetting about us, your sisters," said Phoebe looking at Piper and Leo who were hugging each other.

Piper turned her head towards her sisters.

"I'll be back," said Piper looking at Leo smiling. With that Piper and Leo orbed out.

Prue and Phoebe looked at each other and went and sat on the sofa.

"You seem to be getting along with Cole," said Phoebe looking at Prue.

"Yeah well you know he helped save you and Piper," said Prue.

"So that means you don't mind him being my boyfriend."

"No I don't mind, but just remember that he is still half demon and can turn evil."

"What you're saying is, be careful," said Phoebe raising her eyebrows.

"Yeah I am," said Prue taping Phoebe on the leg and heading into the kitchen.

A few hours passed and the sound of orbs could be heard in the living room.

"Piper you're back," said Phoebe.

"Yeah, you know what the Elders gave us their blessing to get married, as long as being married won't affect our jobs as a Charmed One and a whitelighter," said Piper very happy.

Prue walked into the living room eating a sandwich.

"Hey you're back," said Prue with a mouthful of food.

"Yeah and guess what?"

"Yeah I heard that's great," said Prue cutting Piper off.

"Well anyway I got to get to the club," said Piper kissing Leo.

"I got to go and check on a charge, so I'll take you" said Leo orbing out with Piper in his arms.

"And I got to get ready for dinner with Cole," said Phoebe heading upstairs.

"Great I'm the only one without plans," said Prue sitting on the sofa, "I get the TV for a change." Prue picked up the control and looked through the channels.

Cole walked through the manor door ready to pick Phoebe up for their dinner date. Phoebe walked down the stairs and joined Cole in the living room.

"Wow," said Cole smiling at Phoebe.

"Thank you," said Phoebe kissing Cole on the cheek.

"You look great Phoebe," said Prue looking at her sister.

"Thanks, I'll see you later," said Phoebe hugging Prue and leaving the manor with Cole.

At P3 things weren't going well.

"Miss can I order a drink," said an angry customer.

"Yes hang on, it's my waitresses day off and I've only got one pair of hands," said Piper rushing around the bar, "yes sir what can I get you?"

"A hello and a hug would be nice," said the gentleman.

"Andy," said Piper leaning over the bar and giving him a hug, "how did you know where to find me?"

"I spoke to my partner at work, he said you still lived in Gram's house with Prue and Phoebe and that you owned a club called P3," said Andy drinking his drink.

"Well it's great to see you again, I got to get back to work," said Piper.

"Hey Piper if you want to take off, I can close up," said Katy pouring a drink for a customer.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah I called in more help," said Katy.

"Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow," said Piper.

Piper and Andy left P3 and Andy drove Piper back to the manor.

"Andy do you want to come in?" asked Piper looking at the manor.

"Well if you're not busy," said Andy undoing his seatbelt, "I'd love to see what the place looks like."

Piper and Andy walked up the steps to the manor door.

Piper opened the door, "Prue! Phoebe! Is anyone home?" yelled Piper taking off her coat and hanging it up.

"Piper I'm in here!" yelled Prue from the living room.

"Hey Prue look who I met."

"Andy," said Prue standing up and facing him.

"Hey Prue, long time no see," said Andy smiling.

Just then Leo walked in from the kitchen.

"Hey who's this?" asked Leo looking at Piper.

"Leo you're not jealous are you?" asked Prue sitting down.

"No I'm not jealous, seriously who's this?"

"Leo this is Andy Trudeau, Andy this is my fiancé Leo Wyatt," said Piper waving her hands from Leo to Andy.

"Oh hi Andy, I thought you were someone else," said Leo shaking Andy's hand.

"It's nice to meet you too," said Andy, "so Piper you're getting married."

"Yeah it's great," said Piper hugging Leo.

With that Cole and Phoebe shimmered in behind. Prue nudged Piper and she threw her hands up, Andy froze mid sentence.

"Are you two crazy?" asked Piper.

"Oh my god is that Andy?" asked Phoebe.

"You can tell by the back of his head?" asked Prue.

"Yeah," said Phoebe nodding her head.

"This guy Andy wouldn't happen to be Andy Trudeau?" asked Cole.

"Yeah," said all three of them in unison.

"He's my new partner at work, how do you guys know him?"

"We grew up with him," said Phoebe.

"You guys better go stand outside I gotta unfreeze him," said Piper shooing Phoebe and Cole out of the manor door. Piper, Prue and Leo all stood back and Piper unfroze Andy. With that the manor door slammed shut.

"Hey Phoebe, look who Piper ran into," said Prue.

Andy spun round on the chair.

"Andy," said Phoebe rushing over and hugging him.

"Hey Phoebe, how you been?"

"I'm good thanks, oh by the way this is my boyfriend Cole."

"Hey Cole," said Andy shaking Cole's hand.

"Hey."

"Do you two know each other?" asked Phoebe sounding serious but sarcastic.

"You know I was telling you about my new partner at work, well this is him," said Cole looking at Phoebe.

"Cool, what a small world," said Piper.

"Could you sound more sarcastic," whispered Leo in Piper's ear.

"Shut it, will ya," said Piper nudging Leo.

"Hey!"

"Well I better get going, early start," said Andy standing up.

"Ok well it was great to see you," said Phoebe hugging Andy again.

"Yeah stop by the club anytime," said Piper also hugging Andy.

"Safe journey," said Prue.

"Bye guys." Andy left the manor and got back into his car and drove away. Andy pulled up outside his house and a dark shadow appeared and then disappeared. Andy turned his head but there was nothing there, as Andy opened the front door he was hit over the head, he fell to the floor unconscious.

The next morning everyone was sitting around the dining room table eating their breakfast while arguing about who got which part of the newspaper first.

"Well I'd love to stay and fight with Leo for the sport section but I gotta get to work," said Cole standing up, kissing Phoebe and heading out the door.

"I've gotta get to Buckland's," said Prue getting up and picking up her bag.

"Have a good day," said Phoebe.

"I'll try, I'm meeting my new bosses lets hope they don't try and kill us again," said Prue smiling and picking up her keys off the coffee table.

Piper and Leo waved from their seats.

"What are you two today Piper?" asked Phoebe finishing her lunch.

"Nothing really," said Piper smiling at Leo.

"Piper you want to talk about wedding arrangements?" asked Leo.

"Sure," said Piper, "but I left the wedding plans upstairs in our room."

"Well we'll look at the plans upstairs," said Leo leaving the table with Piper.

"It's alright guys I'll just sit here, by myself," said Phoebe.

Just then the phone started ringing.

"Hello, Phoebe Halliwell speaking."

"Hey Phoebe, it's Cole."

"Hiya."

"Look it's been a bit weird today, my boss tells me that Andy will be great and he'll always be on time, but this morning he didn't show up."

"That's strange Andy's never late for anything," said Phoebe looking confused, "I'll tell you what I'll round up my sisters and we'll chat, see if Prue can astral project to him, or Leo can orb, or you can shimmer."

"Phoebe, Phoebe ok, I'll be home as soon as I can."

Cole hung up. Phoebe put the phone down and stood at the bottom of the stairs.

"Piper! Leo!" yelled Phoebe up the stairs.

"What Phoebe?" yelled Piper down the stairs not too impressed.

"Well Andy never showed up for work today, so if you don't mind can you get your sluty ass down here! And your future husband!"

"Alright, alright, hold on."

Piper and Leo walked down the stairs while buttoning up their shirts.

"Having fun?" asked Phoebe.

"Actually yes, so what's up?" asked Piper.

"Well I need Leo to see if he can sense Andy," said Phoebe looking at Leo.

"Yeah sure ok," said Leo closing his eyes and concentrating on Andy.

Just then Cole shimmered in.

"Hey hunny," said Phoebe hugging him.

"Did you find Andy?" asked Cole.

"Not yet I can't sense him, which means he's either dead or in the underworld," said Leo.

"Let's call Prue," said Piper heading to the phone. Piper picked up the phone and called Prue's office.

"Hello, Prue Halliwell speaking."

"Hey Prue, it's Piper, you have to come home."

"Why?" asked Prue looking at the pile of paperwork on her desk.

"Because Andy never showed up for work and Leo can't sense him."

"I'm on my way."

Prue gathered up her things rushed out and drove back to the manor.

"Ok what do we know?" asked Prue throwing her things over the floor.

"I know that if you don't pick that up the big green monster is gonna appear," said Piper looking at Prue and then at her things on the floor.

"Alright, but can I do it later when I know Andy is safe?"

"Ok, but we have tried everything, not even Cole can sense him," said Piper tilting and shaking her head.

"Well I can try and astral project to him, then I can come back and get you guys," said Prue looking at everyone.

"But Prue your powers don't work in your astral form," said Phoebe concerned for the welfare of her sister.

"Yeah and we don't know who we are up against and besides you haven't worked out how to control the power yet," said Per.

"Well do you have a better idea?" asked Prue.

"No," said Phoebe and Piper shaking their heads.

"Then I'm going."

Prue's body flopped to the floor and Cole picked her up and put her on the sofa, she curled up like she was sleeping.

In a dark cave Andy was chained to a wall and couldn't move or see anything, as it was so dark. With that a red shape appeared and took the shape of Prue.

"Prue, what are you doing here?" asked Andy keeping his voice to a whisper.

"I'm here to save you."

"But how did you that?"

"Look Andy I'll tell you later, can you describe who took you?" asked Prue.

"No I'm sorry, but her did say he needed the Charmed Ones to kill him nine times, whatever that means," said Andy still keeping his voice down.

"Ok, look Andy I gotta go but I promise I'll explain and I will come back and save you."

With that Prue disappeared and woke up on the sofa. Prue told her sisters everything while walking up to the attic to get the Book of Shadows. As the girls reached the attic the book's pages were flipping on their own. Prue, Piper and Phoebe walked over to the book. On the page was a spell to summon a dead spirit. The girls placed five candles in a circle and read the spell from the Book of Shadows.

"Beloved unknown spirit, we seek your guidance, we ask that you commune with us and move among us."

Just then bright white sparkling lights formed a person, she had dark hair and was completely transparent.

"Hi, I don't know why I'm here," said the spirit.

"We summoned guidance," said Prue smiling.

"Then the Elders must think I can help you."

"Could you tell us what you know about someone who wants to be killed nine times?" asked Prue.

"Nine times you say?"

The Charmed Ones nodded.

"It is just as I feared, my cat Shadow, he transformed himself into a warlock and killed me, you mustn't kill him the nine times or he will become immortal," said the spirit looking upset.

"Thank you and we are very sorry about what happened," said Phoebe.

"Blessed be," said the spirit. With that the candles went out and the spirit disappeared.

"So what are we going to do?" asked Piper.

"Maybe we could make a potion, write a spell to multiply his death by nine," said Phoebe hoping her sisters would catch on, "then at that one point he'll feel the pain of nine deaths."

"Which maybe strong enough to kill him. I like it," said Piper.

"Ok I'll get to work on the spell, Piper you make the potion and Prue you get a sharp object."

"Right," said Prue and Piper heading downstairs.

Everything was ready all they needed to do was get there.

"When I astral projected there I heard the sound of the sea," said Prue.

"So he's near the sea," said Phoebe.

Leo held Piper and Prue's arm and Cole hugged Phoebe, they shimmered and orbed to the cave where the warlock was waiting for them. Prue threw the sharp kitchen knife and Piper froze him, she threw the potion and Phoebe stood in between them and held the spell.

"Nine times this evil's cheated death, felt no pain and kept its breath, this warlock standing in our midst, let him feel what he has missed."

With that he blew up and all that was left was the scorch mark on the floor where he had been standing. Piper walked over to where Andy was still chained up, she aimed at the chains and threw her hands in the air. The chains blew to pieces and Andy was free.

"Prue why don't you shimmer back with Cole and Phoebe, we'll orb Andy, said Leo taking Andy's arm and orbing out.

Back at the manor the girls told Andy everything and even demonstrated their powers.

"What do you think?" asked Prue.

"I cant believe it, it's amazing," said Andy, "I always believed this sort of thing, but…"

"We know it's a lot to take in but you can't tell anyone," said Phoebe.

"Don't worry I wont," said Andy.

"I knew we could trust him," said Piper smiling.

"I do have one more question," said Andy.

"Sure," said Phoebe.

"It's actually for Prue," said Andy, "I was wondering would you like to go out to dinner with me sometime?"

Prue looked at Piper and Phoebe who were nodding frantically.

"Ok," said Prue looking at Andy and smiling.
