A/N: Chapter four!! Here we go…


"Oh, yeah, nice to see you too, Paige," Cole said, sarcastically.

"How did you get back?" Paige demanded.

He shrugged, and smiled, "I have my ways."

"What kind of ways?"

"Does it matter?" Phoebe cut in, "The point is that he's alive."

"I guess you're right…"

That's when Piper walked into the room, "Hey, guys, lunch is almost ready. Do two of you want to come in and set the table?"

"Paige and Leo will," Phoebe volunteered.

"Hey!" the two candidates said at the same time.

"Great. Come on."

Paige and Leo got up, and reluctantly followed Piper out. Cole and Phoebe took a seat on the couch together, and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I love you," Cole said, wrapping an arm around her.

"I love you, too."

They just sat like that for a while, enjoying each other's company. Until Piper walked in, "Hey, lunch is ready. You want to join us?"

"Yeah. Sure," Phoebe agreed, and the two got up, and followed Piper out the door, and into the dining room.

After a nice lunch, Piper and Leo cleared the table, and Paige, Cole, and Phoebe walked back into the foyer.

Of course Cole and Paige were arguing.

"Would you two stop it?" Phoebe said, "Jeez, why do you have to argue all the time?"

"Well, with Prue gone, I need someone to disagree with, right?" Cole asked.

"Why Paige, though?"

"Well, because Leo is to 'good' to argue, and I don't won't to get Piper mad, considering she has the power to blow things up. It's just in my best interest to get Paige pissed off rather than anyone else in this house."

Phoebe rolled her eyes, and Paige gave him a good smack. Cole just laughed.

That's when a demon shimmered in. It formed an energy ball, and threw it at Paige.

Cole noticed this, and called, "Paige, look out!"

He instinctively waved an arm, and an invisible force field went up in front of her. The energy ball bounced off of it. The demon ducked, and the energy ball flew above him harmlessly.

Cole formed his own energy ball, and threw it at the demon, vanquishing it.

"Whoa. Thanks," the youngest witch said gratefully.

"Yeah, No problem," he answered.

"What happened?" Piper asked, walking into the room.

"Same old," Paige told her, "Demon tried to kill us."

"And Cole vanquished him," Phoebe said, wrapping her arms around him.

"It wasn't a big deal," he said.

"Oh, really?" Piper asked, "If it wasn't a big deal, what kind of demon was it?"

Cole looked from Piper, to Phoebe, to Paige, to Leo, "I-I don't know."


A/N: Oooooo, Cole doesn't knoe what kind of demon it is!!! AHH! Thanks for reading, I'd appreciate it if you'd review so I can see what you think about it!
