Epilogue
Time unwinds and brings you back,
The sun breaks through the endless black,
The future's right, it wasn't real,
I never felt the pain I feel.
The pain was gone, like the sand to the tide,
You were still here by my side.
We stand together and watch the sea,
Always will be: you and me.

Future Piper's POV
"Urgh! I feel like a bus just hit me!" I cried rolling over to face Prue who was looking at me worriedly. "What? Have I turned green or something? I always wondered if that would happen…"
"No…Piper, do you remember anything about yesterday?" She stared at me and I gulped- she was still completely unaware of what her eyes did to me. You'd think after four years of being together and twenty of knowing each other she'd get an idea. Apparently not.
"Erm, it was Sunday and…wait, it wasn't was it? It was Monday…"
"Feels like you're remembering a dream, doesn't it?"
"Yeah, it's really weird…" I suddenly got a jolt of absolute despair, my eyes widened in shock at the memories that were suddenly flooding back. It was like yesterday had happened twice: one was good, one was…beyond description. "Prue, I feel like I lost you." The words were only made worse by the memories of her lying in the rubble, blood flowing over her body like a crimson river…dead. Just gone. My vision blurred: even though I could feel her warmth radiating towards me alive, I felt like she was dead and that the world was crumbling beneath me, falling around me. The morning sun felt like it was freezing me.
"Piper…Piper, no: I'm here, I'll always be here." She pulled me towards her and I held onto her like she was the only thing keeping me from drowning, and she was. "Whatever we remember, it didn't happen. I'm proof of that. I promised you I'd never leave you and I never will."
