Chapter 7
Cole and Paige were orbed to an apartment. Kathleen followed them.

"Wait a minute" said Paige. "We have to live together"

Kathleen nodded. "It has to be believable"

Cole sighed. "This is not good"

"You're telling me" muttered Paige.

They avoided gaze.

"Paige you are to tell your sisters you're going to go through whitelighter training for about two months" said Kathleen.

"You mean lie to them" said Paige.

"Like you never done that before" said Cole.

Paige made a face. "I wouldn't be talking"

Cole walked into the bathroom and shut the door. Paige looked at Kathleen.

"Ok" said Paige. She orbed out and into the Halliwell kitchen.

Piper and Leo were laughing and talking.

"Hey Paige" said Piper cheerfully. "I have some bad news" said Paige.

"I knew the happiness couldn't last" said Leo.

"I have to go through a grueling two months of whitelighter training" said Paige. "I'll be gone for two months"

"All man" said Piper. "We're going to miss you"

She got up and hugged her. Paige felt so crappy. She was lying to her family that accepted her, but she had to get her whole family back together, the one that included Cole.

Paige found Cole sitting on a chair reading. She sat on the other side and opened her magazine.

"How's Piper and Leo?" asked Cole.

"They're fine" answered Paige without looking at him. "Still trying for a baby"

"And Phoebe?" asked Cole.

"She's good" said Paige.

Silence and nervous tension filled the room.

"Are you hungry?" asked Cole.

Paige looked at Cole. This wasn't the man she knew, the tough leader. He looked quiet and nervous. The Cole Turner she knew never got nervous.

"You cook?" asked Paige.

"Yep" said Cole getting up. "Anything in particular? They stocked us up real good"

"Pasta and salad would be nice" said Paige.

She stood up and joined him in the huge kitchen. Cole took out the pasta box and spaghetti sauce. Paige opened the fridge and moved some things around. She took out lettuce, tomato, croutons, cucumbers, onions, and dressing. Paige then laid everything out on the counter. Cole turned on the radio to some jazz. Paige bopped her head to the beat.

"You like jazz?" asked Cole surprisingly.

"It's okay" said Paige. She smiled at him.

Maybe this will be okay, thought Paige.

Paige came out of the bathroom in a robe. Cole had breakfast out on the table.

"Thanks" said Paige.

"Tonight is the first day of our mission" said Cole.

"Can't wait" said Paige sarcastically.

"Oh wait" said Cole running to his room. Paige crossed her arms.

Cole came out with an outfit in hand(picture the outfit in Long Live the Queen that Phoebe wore).

"It's black and skanky" said Paige.

"You can't wear none of that pink and perky stuff" said Cole.

"Mind you" said Paige. "I have plenty of sexy clothing"

"Really" said Cole.

"Wouldn't you like to know" said Paige laughing.

A while later Paige came out of the bathroom wearing the outfit Cole gave her. Cole snickered as Paige moved uncomfortably. Paige sneered at him. Cole was wearing a black outfit.

"The Adams family" muttered Paige.

"There might be some kissing involved" said Cole sighing.

Paige cried out.

"Hey I'm a pretty damn good one" said Cole.

Paige couldn't help but laugh. The two who couldn't stand eachother and who in the past acted like brother and sister were going into a deadly battle. They only had eachother to rely on.

And to Paige she was just okay with that.
