"-FUDGE!"

Lying, (in a rather "suggestive" pose, might I add,) on Piper's bed, was a fair-skinned, curvy, dark-haired woman, with a genial smile on her face that showed pearly white teeth that glittered like...

Well, like normal teeth shouldn't glitter, I suppose.

She sat up and examined her perfectly manicured nails, then glanced at Piper, who was rather dumbfounded, as you might expect.

"Who...who..." she stammered, incoherently.

"Darling, if you're going to talk, please, get to the point," the woman drawled, her voice smooth as silk.

"Who are you?" Piper managed. "What's your name? And...what are you DOING in my ROOM?"

"Psht. That's neither here nor there." She flicked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. "But...if you really want to know..."

"Yes, I do. And I want to know now. Quickly." Piper sat down on her chair and commenced to glare darkly at the stranger, who merely smiled and lay back down on the mattress, as if she had all the time in the world.

"I go by many names, dear. Ishtar, Isis, Aphrodite, Venus, the list goes on. Currently, I think Lucinda sounds nice." She smiled wickedly. "You can call me whatever you wish. I can be whoever you wish." With that, she stood, reached out, and placed a pale hand on Piper's chest.

A gulp. Three heartbeats. And standing before her was her first crush, a boy who's name she'd forgotten until today. Three more heartbeats. Another boy, someone who didn't matter... Thump, thump, thump. Another face, only this one didn't make her just cringe or grin. It made her stand and throw the woman's hand away.

"Stop." A swallow of dry and painful air. "I know who you are."

The woman merely sat back down and feigned a gasp. "Oh, my. I've been found out. Whatever shall I do?"

"You're the goddess of love. Aren't you?" Piper shouted.

"Honey, shh. We wouldn't want the others to be privvy to our conversation, now would we?" She smiled a red lipped smile. "Seems like all those memories hurt. A lot. One in particular..." She feigned sympathy. "But...that's why I'm here."

"Why you're here?" Piper whispered.

"Well, yes, dear. That's what I said," the goddess snapped, tart and brisk. "I'm here to help you fall in love."

OOO

A/N: The poll's at a tie. So.

Go vote.

I won't even say please, because it's not a request, it's a DEMAND.
