The pure hatred on Jenny's face kept Piper in a good mood the whole week they had off. Just knowing that Leo had finally gotten rid of Jen and loved her with his whole heart made Piper feel on top of the world. But when it came to giving a speech, her stomach started churning and she plummeted.

Piper had spent hours writing and rewriting her speech. She had asked if she could see Leo's, but he had simply said it was a surprise. This made Piper even more nervous about what she wanted to say. She watched some award shows that Phoebe had recorded, but seeing the professionals never helped.

Rose also seemed to be acting very strange. She was even giddier when she saw Leo kiss Piper goodnight. Piper tried asking her daughter, but she said that she loved watching her mommy and daddy in love. It wasn't the answer Piper had wanted, but it was all she could get.

Prue, who was now very large and close to her due date, and Phoebe took Piper to the mall to get gowns for the ceremony. Phoebe fell in the love with the first dress she tried on. Piper took a little longer, but it took the longest for Prue, who was having trouble finding something to fit over her stomach.

The next day, Piper took Rose and Leo to get outfits. Rose had a blast trying on all the frilly little dresses, but finally settled. Leo kept insisting that the suit he had at home was fine, but Piper wanted something that he hadn't worn the day he proposed to Jen.

Elijah called every other day to ask how Piper's speech was going. She lied the first two times he called, but when he rang on Friday, the day before the ceremony, Piper told the truth. Elijah told her it was okay to feel nervous and that she would do fine.

Finally, the day of the awards ceremony arrived. Piper was up half the night pacing around her room rereading her speech over and over again. Rose finally shuffled in at 1:30 and told her mom to go to bed before she called Auntie Prue.

After breakfast, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe met at the mall to get their hair and nails done. When they were finished, they went out for a small lunch. They chatted the whole time about how exciting it would be to win the award.

The three girls drove separately back the manor, where everyone was waiting. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, Rose, and Samantha got ready upstairs. Andy, Leo, Cole, Nick, and Noah (Phoebe's kids) got dressed down in the basement.

The girls upstairs were a flurry. Prue, Phoebe and Samantha shared Prue's old room, and Piper and Rose took Piper's room. Phoebe kept running back and forth for make-up and other accessories. Piper finally told them to just get dressed and meet in her room for the final touches.

When everyone was finally ready, the all met on the ground level. There was a good five minutes spent fawning over all the clothes. Then they all sat around and waited for the limos, which came with the invitation to be at the ceremony.

The limos arrived, and Piper was surprised to see that Elijah had gotten them two. This proved difficult, for no one made it easy for them to split up. They finally asked if they could just take one car and let the kids sit in parent's laps.

It was almost an hour drive (I'm just guessing here), and everyone was silent the entire way. Well, at least the parents were. Rose and Samantha played make believe games, and Nick and Noah were mumbling baby talk.

Piper and Leo held hands and quietly looked through their speeches. Halfway through the ride, Piper realized she hadn't put in Leo, one of the most influential people for her. She asked Leo quietly if he had mentioned her.

Leo answered yes, with a smile and a kiss on the forehead. When Leo asked if he had talked about him, Piper lied and said of course. Then she quietly leaned to Andy and asked if she could use a pen. Leo smirked knowingly but was silent.

Finally, the limo driver announced they had arrived. He checked in at the front gate, and the guard asked for Piper and Leo to step out. Upon seeing their frightened faces, he explained that they were joining the cast's car and their guests would be taken straight to their seats.

Inside the limo were Elijah, his wife, Lisa and daughter, Michelle. Next to them were Ian and his two kids. He claimed his wife couldn't make it. Jenny sat in the far corner, clinging to a muscular foreign man. Piper and Leo took a seat and the limo drove a short way to the red carpet.

Piper and Leo, being the last in the car, were the first out. Apparently, that's how the directors of the ceremony had wanted it. Flashes bounced into Piper's eyes as she stepped out of the limo hand in hand with Leo. The crowd screamed the couple's name over and over.

"And here are Piper Halliwell and Leo Wyatt, actors on the new Soap, "How Am I Supposed to Love You?" A news reporter nearby proclaimed. "These two, once nobodies, certainly have this crowd in an uproar. Could I have a world?"

Piper nodded and stepped off to the side so that the rest of the cast could get by. "How does it feel being on the red carpet for the first time?" The woman asked. "I know it isn't like the Oscars, but I still feel so honored to be here." Piper yelled over the noise.

"It's kind of scary when everyone knows who you are," Leo laughed. As he said this, a group of young teenage girls started screaming Leo's name. "So I hear that you've all been nominated for Favorite Show. What are your thoughts on that?"

"I was so amazed when I got the news," Piper admitted. "I mean, I had heard that people loved the show, but going for a Digest award when it had barely been out just blew me away." "What about you, Leo?" The woman asked, moving her microphone to Leo's mouth.

"I feel the same way. We haven't even been on for a full season, and people already love us." "Now, by the look of your hands, I would have to say that you're a couple." The woman noted. "Didn't you have a fiancee before this, Leo?"

Piper and Leo both shared a look. They hadn't realized they had been the talk of the town, or that anyone knew about their relationships. "Yes, I did. Me and Piper had a relationship before we went off to college, so when we saw each other, I guess you could say love ensued."

Piper smiled up and Leo and they shared a quick kiss. "Thank you for your time. Good luck on getting your award tonight." "Thanks," Piper and Leo replied at the same time. They walked off and spent another half-hour or so talking with reporters. It seemed like every news group wanted an interview with them.

Finally someone called out over a speakerphone that it was time for dinner. The actors and actresses headed inside, and most of the news crew packed up and left. The room was humongous, filled with at least a hundred and fifty tables.

Piper and Leo sat down at the cast table. Rose waved at them from the family table set up right behind them. Dinner was a three-course meal. First was the soup and salad, the entrée, and finally desert. Everyone was stuffed by the time the waiters gathered up plates.

The host, whom Piper didn't recognize, stepped up on the large stage. He welcomed everybody and talked a little about how the awards worked. Then there was another guest who talked about the history of the Digest awards before the real ceremony started.

Favorite Couple, Outstanding Male Newcomer, Outstanding Female Newcomer, Favorite Teen, Favorite Return, Outstanding Younger Lead Actress, Outstanding Younger Lead Actor, and many others were awarded before Piper's eyes.

Piper knew that she would have to wait until the very end before the nominations were called. The Favorite Show was always the finale. Piper took Leo's hand into hers and squeezed it. The butterflies were already bouncing around inside her. This was going to be a long night.

A/n: well, there's the first part of the award ceremony. Let me know what u thought.

I based all the girls and kids outfits on real pictures online, so I thought I'd let u all see them since I really didn't feel like describing them. they wouldn't work when i put them here, for some reason, so they're at the bottom of my profile
