So, I am officially going in a different direction than the show did besides the couples. This is just a different version of the last half of season three.

"Hey." Phoebe bounced into the kitchen, smiling at Prue. "Piper gone?"

"Yeah. Hey, I thought you were meeting friends at the club?" Phoebe rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, Prue. I'll be out of here in a few minutes. So, do we know where Piper is?" Prue shrugged.

"I don't know. Cole shimmered them away a couple hours ago." Phoebe shook her head.

"I still can't believe Piper's dating a demon. After all her talk of wanting a normal relationship…" Prue smiled a little.

"I can't believe it's actually working out the way it is. I mean, I know what I felt when Piper cast that spell, but still he is a demon."

"Yeah, but it's been over two weeks since then and they're actually going good." She walked over, smiling at Prue, who was still frowning worriedly.

"They'll be fine, hopefully. Besides, you should know a thing or two about forbidden romance."

"Oh, speaking of," Prue walked into the other room and brought a shopping bag with her. She pulled out a small black dress. "What do you think?"

"Very hot." Prue smirked.

"Thanks. Now, tonight…"

"I'll be gone till late, don't worry. Got a double date with a friend."

"Really? What's he like?" Phoebe sighed.

"Don't really know, actually." She smiled and grabbed her coat from the chair. "I'll see later."

"Hey." Phoebe walked over to her usual table in P3, sitting across from a girl just a bit younger than she was with dark hair.

"Hey." The other woman said, smiling at her. Phoebe looked around.

"So, where are these hot guys that you were talking about earlier?" The girl huffed in annoyance.

"Well, I found Jake kissing some other girl earlier when I went to see him at his work, so I don't think they'll be showing up."

"I'm sorry, Paige." Phoebe said, reaching over to hug the girl briefly. Paige shook her head.

"No, it's okay. It's not like we'd been dating that long, anyways."

"Well, maybe we should go find someone else." Phoebe suggested, eyeing the dance floor before dragging Paige by the arm towards it. Paige grinned at her and followed.

"So," Prue wrapped her arms around Leo's neck. "Piper's gone somewhere across the world with Cole, and Phoebe's out with friends. Which means…" Leo smiled.

"We're all alone." He finished leaning in for a kiss. Just as it was starting to heat up, however, they heard a loud voice out in the hall.

"No!" Piper yelled. "Stay away from me!" Prue pulled back and rested her head against Leo's chest with a groan.

"I don't care, Cole!" They heard Piper yell a second later. "It's too dangerous." Leo and Prue exchanged a glance and started towards the hall. They ran in when they heard something explode and the unmistakable sound of glass breaking.

"What's going on?" Prue asked worriedly, staring at them both. Cole was standing with his back to the front door, which had a hole in it now. Piper was facing him, her eyes wide.

"I thought you guys were in some restaurant in France or London or wherever…" Leo said.

"We were." Cole shrugged. "That is until Piper blew up the place." Piper glared at him.

"I did not blow up the restaurant." She looked over at Prue and Leo. "Okay, maybe part of it."

"What? How?" Prue asked, looking from one to the other.

"With my hands!" She cried, her voice edging on panicked and she started to wave them. Cole stepped forward and put his hands on her forearms.

"Maybe you shouldn't be doing that until you figure out what's going on and how to control it?" He suggested.

"Fine." She turned to Leo. "Could you please go up and ask them what the hell is wrong with my powers?" Leo nodded, orbing out. Piper broke away from Cole. She walked over to the stairs, and sat down, keeping her hands firmly in her lap.

"Piper…"

"No!" Piper, without thinking, stood up and automatically lifted her hands. "Stay away from me…" She started to say but the plant by Cole blew up. Her eyes widened.

"Oh, okay." Prue came over and held Piper's arms down.

"This is just great!" Leo orbed back in a few seconds later and Piper turned her gaze on him.

"Did you find out what's wrong with my powers?"

"Nothing, actually. They're advancing. Turns out your powers work by slowing down molecules, and apparently now you can speed them up as well. You just need to learn how to control it."

"And in the meantime…I need to what? Keep my hands behind my back so I don't blow up my sisters or my boyfriend?"

"Well, you know that Phoebe and I are immune to your freezing power, right? It stands to reason that we'd be immune to this as well. And Leo's already dead…"

"You willing to risk that? You don't know if you're immune and last time I checked, Cole isn't immune to my powers."

"I'll take the risk." Cole spoke up, coming over to her.

"I'm going to my room." Piper said, sprinting up the stairs.

"Piper?" Cole called, knocking on her door a little while later. Piper stared down at her bed. She had thrown her pillows up in the air, trying to freeze them and now her bed was covered in feathers.

"Go away!" Piper called back when Cole knocked on the door.

"Piper, unlock the door."

"No!"

"Okay!" He called. "I guess I don't have a choice." A second later, Piper jumped, and blew up her lamp when Cole shimmered in a few feet away from her.

"Cole!" She lowered her hands again. "You shouldn't be in here."

"Where else would I be?" He asked, shrugging. "Can't go where I used to seeing as how everyone one I've ever been in contact with my whole life probably wants to kill me right now. Your sisters and Leo don't much like me yet. Sorry, honey, you're all I've got."

"Gee, thanks."

"Yes, well, I also happen to love you. And I can't see having a relationship through your door." Piper sat down on her bed with a sigh.

"It's just…frustrating and a little scary. I mean my hands are lethal weapons, and I can't control it."

"You just need to give it some time. You said yourself that it took a while to get your freezing power under control."

"That's a little different. I mean, I'm not likely to freeze you to death."

"Well, I know my own strengths. I doubt you'd kill me anyways." Piper glared at him.

"Not helping." He grinned at her, putting an arm around her shoulders and dragging both down on the bed.

"You'll figure it out." He said, turning on his side and brushing her hair off her face.

"You're so sure?" He smiled and kissed her lightly.

"Of course."

"And until then…?" Cole smiled wider and put a hand on her waist. He rolled so that she was lying on top of him.

"Until then, we'll just have to find ways to keep those hands occupied." Piper couldn't help the small giggle that escaped her before he was kissing her again.

"What happened?" Phoebe asked worriedly when she got back to the manor and found Leo repairing the door. "Demons."

"No, Piper." Prue said. Phoebe followed her into the kitchen.

"What do you mean?"

"Piper blew up the door. With her hands, actually." Phoebe's mouth dropped open.

"You're kidding. New power?" Prue nodded.

"Yep. It's got her a little freaked. She locked herself in her room." Phoebe frowned and turned towards the stairs.

"Maybe we should go talk to her."

"Actually, I think Cole's got it."

"Oh." Phoebe sat down at the counter.

"So, how was your date?" Prue asked, handing her a bottle of water.

"It wasn't actually. There was a little problem with the guys so Paige and I just hung out for a couple of hours."

"Paige? She's the girl that you met in P3 a week ago, isn't she?" Phoebe nodded. "You guys becoming good friends?"

"Yeah," Phoebe frowned. "It's weird. I mean, I could have sworn that I had met her somewhere before." Prue shrugged.

"Well, if she comes into P3 all the time, you probably did at least see her there."

"Maybe," Phoebe said, shrugging as well. She grinned at Prue. "How was your date?"

"About like yours. Cole and Piper shimmered in before we could get started after she blew up part of the restaurant they were at."

"Windows fixed." Leo said, walking in the room and wrapping an arm around Prue. Phoebe looked from one to the other.

"I think I'll just…go to bed." She said with a grin. Prue turned in Leo's arms.

"You know, we never did get to finish our date." She said. He grinned, kissing her as they orbed out up to her room.
