Thank you to PrueAndyForever, Allen Pitt, and lizardmomma for being such loyal reviewers, and thank you to Kelly for being our newest reviewer.

Please keep in mind that this is an alternate reality fic and our main concentration -- as far as the sisters go, is on Prue and Phoebe, so there's no guarantee that Paige will be part of the picture, or if she is, if she'll even be Patty & Sam's daughter.

That being said, however...please don't let this drive you away from this fic, as all will reveal itself in due time!

So what did Prue have in mind? What's Andy going to do? Read on and find out!

PART THIRTEEN: "Are you crazy?"

Just then Andy orbed back in, holding a pitcher. "You're right, Prue," he smiled. "This should do the trick nicely." While Phoebe watched in shock and Prue tried in vain to hold back her snickers, Andy strolled over to the bed and poured ice-cold water onto the half-demon.

Cole sat up so quickly, it was as if he'd been shot out of a cannon. "Are you crazy?" he sputtered, wiping the water off his face and glaring at Andy, who was standing by the bed holding the now-almost-empty pitcher. "Talk about a rude awakening," he grumbled.

Letting out a huge sigh of relief, Phoebe sprinted over to the soaked half-demon and gave him a huge hug and a big kiss. "Thank God you're okay!"

Prue was trying her hardest not to laugh at Cole's reaction, but the efforts were futile. After a couple of seconds, she just couldn't hold it in any longer and she laughed until her side ached.

Andy couldn't help laughing at Cole's reaction or at Prue's. It's so good to hear her laugh again, even if it's at Cole's expense. Looking in the pitcher and seeing a small amount of water still inside, he gave Prue a most un-whitelighterly look.

Even as she tried to regain her composure, Prue noticed the mischievous look in Andy's eyes. She screamed and waved her hand so the pitcher flew out of Andy's hands, splashing the remaining water onto him.

Now it was Cole and Phoebe's turn to howl at Andy's expense.

"Hey," Andy grumbled. "Isn't that what you call using magic for personal gain?"

That just made everyone laugh harder, exactly what Andy had in mind, knowing that this would act as a catharsis for all of the pain this family had gone through. Now he looked at Prue sheepishly and then down at his now-soaked shirt. "Hey, now I'm all wet. I guess I'll have to orb to one of my charges' places and get a dry one."

Prue shook her head in amusement and rolled her eyes. "Come on, Andy, let's go get you a dry shirt. I think I might still have a couple of your old ones in my closet somewhere." Nodding towards the door, she turned and led him out of Phoebe's room and towards her own.

Cole watched them leave, then looked at the clock. What he saw made him leap from the bed. "Phoebe! Look at the time! Don't we have to be there by 11? Guess we'd better get ready," and grabbing his suit off the chair, he headed for the upstairs bathroom to brush his teeth and wash up, also taking his suit so he could get dressed. But before he did, he looked back towards Phoebe. "You better do the same. You take the upstairs bathroom; I'll take the downstairs one."

Phoebe sadly nodded in agreement and after a quick peck on Cole's cheek, she grabbed the dress she planned to wear and headed for the upstairs bathroom to prepare for the day ahead.

Cole watched her and then headed downstairs and into the first-floor bathroom. While getting ready, he thought about the day ahead. He knew Phoebe was going to need him to comfort her, but lingering doubts floated through his mind and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do all that good of a job. "I've been a mercenary demon for over half-a-century," he muttered to himself as he brushed his teeth. "I'm the one who made others need to console each other due to the deaths I caused. What do I know about comforting?"
