Married In Magic
The next morning Piper woke up and the sun was shining into her and Leo's room, she closed her eyes and fell back to sleep. Down in the kitchen Prue, Phoebe and Cole were eating breakfast.
"Prue what's up?" asked Phoebe looking at her sister.
"Nothing, I just got to get to work," said Prue standing up.
"What about our dresses, I said we'd go get them for Piper's wedding," said Phoebe following her sister.
"Well you can get them with Piper," said Prue picking up her keys.
"Sure, I'm sure Piper will understand."
"Great."
Prue walked out the front door, got into her car and drove to Bucklands auction house.
"What's wrong with her this morning?" asked Cole looking at Phoebe.
"I don't know she's been acting weird since Piper got back," said Phoebe closing the front door.
"Hey Phoebe, have you seen Leo or Prue this morning?" asked Piper coming downstairs with a smile on her face.
"Well hunny we haven't seen Leo, maybe he's doing the whole don't see the bride on her wedding day thing and Prue just left for work," said Phoebe looking at her sisters face change.
"But we've got to get the dresses, my wedding is today," said Piper a little annoyed and upset.
"Look hunny everything is going to be ok," said Phoebe, "I'll go and get dressed then we can pick up the dresses."
"Ok, I'll call Prue, I need to talk to her," said Piper picking up the phone.
"Ok, speak to you in a minute." Phoebe ran up the stairs and went to get dressed.
"Hello Prue Halliwell speaking."
"Hi Prue, it's me Piper."
"Oh hey Piper, what's up?" asked Prue looking through some files on her desk.
"I just wondered why you left without talking to me this morning."
"Oh sorry about that I've been really busy this week and today was no exception."
"Prue you said we would all go pick up our dresses together," Piper said walking into the kitchen.
"Look I'm really sorry but I've got a lot to do, see you at home later," Prue said hanging up.
"Ok then bye," said Piper slamming the phone on the side.
"What's wrong Piper?" asked Phoebe heading into the kitchen.
"She hung up on me and said she was too busy to come out with us."
"Maybe she really is busy," replied Phoebe looking at Piper.
"I know she's lying Phoebe, she never could lie," said Piper upset that her big sister was avoiding her.
Phoebe walked over to the oat rack put on her coat and grabbed Piper's keys.
"Hey Phoebe I'm not dressed yet!" said Piper looking at her sister.
"I know I'll be right back I promise."
"But Phoebe our dresses."
Phoebe had already slammed the door shut and drove off in Piper's car. Piper shook her head and headed over to the box of flowers she was going to hang on the banister.
Phoebe parked Piper's car and locked the doors, she walked up some steps and walked through some glass doors.
"Hello, how can I help you?" asked the lady sitting at the reception desk.
"Hi, I'm looking for Prue Halliwell," said Phoebe looking around.
"I'm sorry Miss Halliwell is busy at the moment."
"I don't care tell her it's her sister Phoebe."
"Hang on please." The lady picked up her phone and pressed a few buttons, "hello could you tell Miss Halliwell that her sister Phoebe is here please." The lady sat with the phone to her ear listening to the person on the other end, "ok I'll tell her," she said hanging up, "you can go up."
"Thank you," said Phoebe heading to the lift. She got in and went up to Prue's floor as the doors opened she stepped out and headed towards the double red doors, she opened one door and slammed it shut behind her.
"Phoebe what are you doing?" asked Prue looking at her sister.
"What am I doing? Prue our sister is at home upset that her big sister is not going to help her on her wedding day."
"Well I'm sorry I'm not in family mode right now, look I love Piper I do, but come on who was the one that was able to save her?"
"Well yeah but Prue…."
"No Phoebe she wanted you not me and that just shows that I'm not as needed as I thought," said Prue looking at her baby sister.
Just then Cole shimmered in next to Phoebe, both girls looked at him.
"Hey," he said acknowledging Prue, "Phoebe, Piper need you at home, wedding emergency."
Prue raised her eyebrows at Phoebe in a look that said 'see-she'd-prefer-you'.
"Ok, Prue think about what you have just told me," Phoebe said taking Cole's hand as they both shimmered out.
Back at the Manor Piper was freaking out, she was putting the flowers on the banisters and each time she went to put one end up the other fell off, finally they were up. Phoebe and Cole shimmered in behind Piper.
"Oh my god!" yelled Piper turning around, she threw her hands out in front of her and the flowers she had just hung up, blew up and fell to the floor, "NO!"
"Ok Piper hunny calm down and keep your hands down where we can see them," said Phoebe walking over to Piper and pushing her arms to her side.
"Phoebe where's my car?" asked Piper realising Phoebe must have shimmered back with Cole.
"At Buck lands, look Cole will go get your car and drive it home," said Phoebe turning to face Cole, he kissed Phoebe and shimmered out back to Bucklands.
"No do you want to explain what's wrong? Asked Phoebe guiding her big sister to the sofa.
"Well I'm freaking out, Prue is not talking to me god knows why and I have this really bad feeling that something is going to go wrong," said Piper holding Phoebe's hands.
"Look sweetie, Prue is just a little upset that I was the one who was able to save you know, because we're all supposed to have a tight bond and I promise that I won't let anyone ruin your day, ok?"
"Thanks Phoebe, I love you," said Piper smiling.
"I know, I love you too, now go upstairs, relax in a bubble bath and then we can go pick up our dresses."
"Thanks."
"Right one sister down, one to go," said Phoebe as she watched her Piper walk back upstairs.
"Look Wyatt, Aunt Prue is really upset, at this rate she isn't going to make it to mum and dad's wedding and she needs to be there," Katy rambled looking at her older brother.
"Katy, calm down, ok? Everything is going to be fine," Wyatt, reasoned watching his sister pace around the room.
"Everything is not going to be fine unless Aunt Prue is at the wedding."
"The we'll get her there," Wyatt said sinking into deep thought.
"Phoebe, I'm ready shall we go pick up our…wow it's beautiful in here," Piper said as she looked around the living room, which now had flowers everywhere.
"Glad you like it," said Phoebe smiling.
"Like it, I love it!" Piper exclaimed hugging her baby sister.
"Come on let's go get your dress."
Piper and Phoebe both left the Manor and headed to the bridal store in Piper's car.
In a dark, dismal cave stood the Seer surrounded by demons and warlocks.
"Ok you," the Seer said pointing at one demon, "remember you need to ruin the middle sisters wedding, do not harm her bring her to me."
The demon nodded and shimmered out of the cave.
Katy looked at Wyatt before they both orbed out back to P3.
"Wyatt, why have we come back here? We need to warn mum," Katy said.
"Yes we do but we cant just orb in and say 'hey a demon is coming to ruin your wedding day'," Wyatt said looking at his baby sister.
"Ok, you're right but how are we going to warn them?" Katy asked.
"I don't know yet but we have a little more time," Wyatt replied.
"Wow Piper you look beautiful," Phoebe said smiling at her sister.
She was wearing a long white satin dress; her hair was twirled up in a clip with strands hanging down by her face to complete the look she had her mother's pearl necklace on and a pair of white shoes.
"Thank you so do you," Piper replied.
Phoebe was wearing a floor length baby pink coloured dress, her hair was also twirled up in a clip with a few strands hanging down by her face she also wore a pair of white shoes.
"Where's Prue?" asked Piper.
Phoebe looked at the floor; she could feel Piper's eyes burning into her, "Piper, Prue is still at work I was just about to check up on her I'm sure she's on her way."
"Phoebe she knows how important today is to me," Piper said nearly in tears.
"Hey hunny don't cry you'll ruin your make up," Phoebe said.
Piper looked at her, she lifted her dress and headed up the stairs. Phoebe headed to the phone to call Prue.
"Hello Prue Halliwell speaking."
"Prue, where the hell are you!" demanded Phoebe.
"I'm at work, can you stop shouting?"
"Aren't you forgetting something…like your sisters wedding," Phoebe replied.
"Can you tell Piper I'm sorry but I'm still really busy and I'm really behind, bye," Prue said hanging up.
Phoebe placed the phone back down on the table, as Leo orbed in and Cole shimmered.
"Hey Phoebe," Cole greeted kissing her on the cheek.
"Hey, but we have we have a problem, Prue's not coming."
"What?" Leo asked.
White sparkling lights appeared and formed the girls Grams.
"Hi Grams," Phoebe greeted her.
"Hi my darling, where's your sister?"
"Which one?" Phoebe asked smiling.
"Prue."
"She's not here Grams, I don't think she's coming she's still a bit upset about he other night."
"Ok Katy you stay here," Wyatt said.
"No way I'm coming with you," she replied.
"But Aunt Prue will recognise you."
"Exactly, she'll trust me more."
"Fine, come on."
Wyatt and Katy both orbed out to Bucklands auction house, right into their Aunt Prue's office. Prue noticed them and threw out both her hands using her telekinetic power on them. Wyatt's shield went up around him and Katy lifted her hand deflecting the attack, shattering Prue's vase on her desk.
"Who are you?" she demanded before noticing Piper's bar manager Katy, "Katy what are you doing?"
"Listen Prue, you have to go to the Manor, the Seer has planned an attack at the wedding, Piper and Phoebe will die, if the power of three is not there," Katy said pleading with her.
"I don't believe you," Prue said still wary of her intruders.
"Here, look at this," Wyatt said waving his hand over her glass of water, showing Prue what the Seer had planned.
"I have to get home, thank you," she said before running out of her office to the lift, she rode it down into the lobby and ran from the building not caring about the stares she received from other workers. She got in her car and drove as fast as could home.
At the Manor everything was ready, Piper had decided that if Prue didn't want to be there it was her decision but she was still going to get married today. Leo, Phoebe and Cole waited for Piper to come downstairs. Phoebe had tried calling Prue again but there had been no answer.
Piper walked down the stairs, as Grams used her powers to start the music. Everyone had grins plastered across their faces as Piper walked over to Leo. Piper looked at Leo and then to her Grams before turning to Phoebe and Cole.
"I'm sorry Leo but I can't do this not without Prue here, I thought I could," Piper said now facing Leo.
Just then an energy ball flew across the room and fried the flowers. They all turned to see the intruder. Cole immediately went on the attack, Phoebe levitated and kicked the demon as Piper raised her hands and attempted to blow him up.
"It's no good we need the power of three," Phoebe said taking hold of Piper's hand as they both moved back.
"Come with me witch!" the demon said looking at Piper.
Just then the Manor door flew open and in ran Prue, she flicked her wrist a second time sending the demon into the dining table.
"Piper, Phoebe, are you ok?" Prue asked heading over to them.
"Yeah," they both replied.
"Girls don't you have a job to do?" asked Grams looking at the three of them.
"Come on, let's get to the book," Prue said taking both her sisters hands and running up the stairs to the Book of Shadows.
The demon stood up and looked at Cole, Leo and Grams before shimmering out. Up in the attic the girls had identified the demon, as he shimmered in throwing an energy ball at them. Prue raised her right hand telekinetically sending it back towards him, the demon moved out of the way as the girls started chanting; "hell threw you from it's inner core, but earth won't hold you anymore, since heaven cannot be your place, your flesh and blood we now erase!"
"This isn't over!" the demon yelled before exploding into flames.
Piper looked at her sisters, "I am not cleaning that up."
The three of them laughed.
"Hey Piper don't you have a wedding to get to?" asked Prue smiling.
"Yeah, but I don't want to get married without you being there Prue."
"Who says I'm not, come on."
Prue quickly changed into her floor length baby pink dress and white shoes, she quickly pulled her hair back into a ponytail and clipped it up, all three of them then headed downstairs.
"Ok, Leo lets get married," Piper, announced heading into the living room. Leo smiled and stood in position, as did everyone else. Grams started the music again and began the service.
"We are gathered here today to unite two souls as one. Do you, Leo Wyatt, and Piper Halliwell, join us here of your own free will to acknowledge the eternal bond shared by both of you."
"I do," said Leo looking at Piper.
"I do," said Piper smiling.
"You may face each other, join hands. Leo, you may recite your vows," said Grams smiling.
"Piper, through all the tears and struggles, I always knew in my heart that we'd make it here. I promise to love and respect you from this point forward as your husband, as my wife, my lover, my friend, and my soul mate. All I am is yours."
"Piper…" said Grams.
"Leo, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was afraid that you were too good to be true, that maybe I didn't deserve someone so pure and beautiful and loving as you are. But here we are surrounded by the people that I love the most and I feel so proud, and so blessed to be your wife. Leo, I was born to love you and I always will."
Grams had a slight tear slide down her cheek, "here before witnesses, Leo and Piper have sworn their vows towards each other. With this cord, I bind them to those vows." Grams used her telekinesis to slowly bind the cord around the joint hands.
"Heart to thee, body to thee, always and forever, so mote it be," said Piper and Leo together.
"So mote it be," said Grams.
"So mote it be," said Prue, Phoebe and Cole in unison.
"Kiss her," Grams said a huge smile forming on her face.
Prue, Phoebe and Cole all smiled and clapped the happy couple.
"They did it, they got married," said Katy smiling.
"Yes they did now let's see the Seer get to mum now," replied Wyatt hugging Katy.
"All of you are useless," said the Seer looking round at the demons and warlocks, "I guess I'll have to do it myself," she said smiling her eyes glowing a bright white colour.
