Decided to continue the stroll down Memory Lane by posting some of the flashbacks my buddy Primrose_Empath and I used in one of our fanfics. It's an alternate universe one where Piper is the one who dies in "All Hell Breaks Loose" so these are Prue, Phoebe and Leo remembering Piper as we also remembered her and loved her. Piper: So if Daisy's a whitelighter-to-be, doesn't that mean you used to be...
Leo: Human? Yes, it does. I was actually born right here in San Francisco. I had lived here all the way up till I went off to the war.
Piper: You mean, like Vietnam?
Leo: No. World War II. I left med school and enlisted as a medic. I wanted to help save people, not shoot them. The last thing I remember, I was bandaging a soldier's head wound and I felt a sharp pain and the next thing I know I was floating surrounded by whitelighters. They offered me immortality and the chance to help special people like you. I never once ever doubted that I didn't make the right choice. Til I met you. Ever since all I can think is how I'd give it up and have a mortal life again to have a family, grow old...with you.
Piper: Is that possible?
Leo: Yeah, I can become human again, Piper, if you want me to.
Piper: Are you kidding? I want that more than anything. I don't want to lose you again.
Leo: But...
Piper: But then you wouldn't be able to help other witches or other future whitelighters, would you? You couldn't help save the next Daisy.
--Love Hurts
Prue: When we did the spell, we must have awakened everything in the room including the disease.
Phoebe: So, do you think there’s anything different about our blood because we’re witches?
Prue: I don’t know but our first priority is to figure out how to help save these people.
Phoebe: Yeah, but even if we can find a spell to save them, how do we prevent it from spreading to other people.
Piper: You have to reverse the spell.
Phoebe: No, Piper, we can’t reverse the spell because…
Prue: You could go back into a coma, you could die.
Piper: I’m not gonna die. Just reverse the spell and call Leo so he can heal me.
Phoebe: Leo? I thought you didn’t want us to call Leo.
Piper: Well, yeah, that’s when I thought I was sick, not dying.
Prue: Piper, um, we already talked to Leo, he’s not allowed to help.
Phoebe: They won’t let him.
Piper: Oh. Great. Well thanks for doing something I specifically asked you not to do.
Phoebe: Piper, you just said…
Prue: Phoebe, give it a rest. Um, look, Piper, we don’t know the reversal spell anyway.
Phoebe: Yeah, and they won’t let us outta here to get it.
Piper: Prue can get it.
Prue: No, I can’t. Okay, I can not just astral project on command. I can’t control it like that.
Piper: You can learn to control it just like you learned to control your other power. Just concentrate.
Prue: Piper, I can’t and I won’t.
Piper: Prue, you have to try. We can’t let anybody else die.
(Prue shuts her eyes and tries to astral project. She appears in the attic. A nurse looks in the room and sees Prue standing still with her eyes closed.)
Nurse: (through the intercom) What’s wrong with her?
Phoebe: Nothing. She’s fine.
[Cut to the attic. Prue finds the spell and tries to remember it. She astral projects back into her body.]
Prue: Whoa.
Piper: Did you see it?
Prue: Yeah, Piper, I don’t…
Piper: Prue, we’ve already discussed this. For some reason there’s no magical out for me but there is for the others. Please.
--Awakened
----------------------------------------
Piper: I'm just glad you're all right.
Prue: I love you.
Piper: What did you just say?
Prue: I love you.
Piper: I think that's the first time you've said that to me.
Prue: Yeah, I know, I wish I would’ve said it a long time ago. Ever since Mom died I've been afraid to say it. I didn't want to lose anybody else.
Piper: Well, we're not going anywhere.
--From Fear to Eternity
-----------------------------------------------
Piper: Although I have to admit some of the things Dan said were kind of true. I do think about Leo sometimes.
Prue: Jack wasn’t wrong when he said I was on the rebound.Piper: Still it’s all so weird. One minute the four of us are laughing and having a great time…
Prue: And the next we’re acting like we hate each other. Uhh…
Piper: What?
Prue: I was just thinking about Drazi.
Piper: No way. He couldn’t have had anything to do with this. We vanquished him.
Prue: Jack’s scum.
Piper: So is Dan.
Prue: Are you scum?
Piper: No, I’m not scum.
Prue: I knew you weren’t.
--Heartbreak City
-------------------------------------------
[Scene: Outside a church. Piper's sitting in her car. Someone knocks on the window. Piper gets a fright.]
Piper: Pastor Williams, you scared me.
Pastor Williams: I'm sorry. Aren't you a little early? Dropping off the unused food from the restaurant. I thought you weren't coming by until this afternoon.
Piper: I am. I mean, I'm coming back with everything.
Pastor Williams: Great. So what are you doing here now?
Piper: Nothing really. Just, uh, just thinking.
Pastor Williams: About?
Piper: Mary Estee.
Pastor Williams: Who?
Piper: It's just a stupid documentary I saw. By the way, is it true that evil beings can't go into a church without being... (She makes a noise and moves her hands to show they were hit by lightning. They laugh.)
Pastor Williams: Evil beings? You mean, like what? Vampires?
Piper: Vampires, no. I was thinking more on the lines of witches.
Pastor Williams: Witches, huh? Let me out it to you this way. I sure wouldn't wanna risk it. I gotta go. I'll see you later?
Piper: Yeah, right, absolutely. (He leaves. Piper gets out of her car and walks over to the door. Just as she's about to grab the handle, there's a crack of thunder and she runs away.)
-----------------------------
Piper: Okay, here's the deal. I got this friend. Has a little problem. Could be bad. Not quite sure what to tell her.
Pastor Williams: You wanna go inside?
Piper: No. I mean, I've gotta get going.
Pastor Williams: So what's the problem?
Piper: Well, she kinda, sort of thinks she might be a witch.
Pastor Williams: Witches again, huh?
Piper: Not a good thing is it?
Pastor Williams: Certainly not a question I get everyday. How well do you remember Sunday school lessons? Matthew 22:18. Thou shall not suffer a witch to live.
Piper: Meaning...
Pastor Williams: If you go by the old school, it means put her to death. She's evil.
----------------------------------
[Scene: Outside the church. Piper's sitting in her car.]
Piper: I have nothing to be afraid of. I have nothing to be afraid of. (She gets out of her car and walks over to the church door. She holds onto the handle and pulls it open. She pokes her foot inside to make sure nothing happens. She steps inside and smiles.) I'm good!
--I've Got You Under My Skin
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[Scene: Manor. Prue walks in the bathroom. Someone's in the shower. She walks over to the sink and wipes the fog off the mirror.]
Prue: Hey, Piper, will you do me a favor and feed the cat? I want to get down to the Haight. (She gets her toothbrush and toothpaste.) You know, I wanna see if that guy is still on that bus bench. You know, I just couldn't stop thinking about him all night. I mean, there's no guarantee that he'll actually be there but if he is I wanna get a better shot. (She starts brushing her teeth and then Piper walks in.)
Piper: Prue, wh-what are you doing in here?
Leo: Piper, can you hand me a towel? (Leo pulls across the shower curtain and sees Prue.) Prue!
(Prue's eyes widen.)
Prue: Leo. (Piper throws him a towel.) Nice orbs.
Piper: Bye. (Prue continues to look at Leo.) Bye.
(Prue walks backwards into the door.)
Prue: Ow.
Piper: Let me help you, let me help you. (Piper opens the door and Prue walks outside.) Alright, go on, sicko.
--Ex Libris
-----------------------------------------------------
Little Prue: We're not supposed to go places with strangers.
Prue: Yes, but we're not strangers, Prue. You're safe with us and I know that you know in your heart that you can trust us.
Little Piper: If you're really family, prove it.
Piper: Prove it? How the hell are we supposed to do that?
Prue: Piper!
Little Piper: Piper. Your name's Piper too?
Piper: Uh, yeah, and not only do we have the same name... (she hits and kicks the drawer and it opens) but we have the same secrets.
--That Seventies Episode
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Scene: Outside Halliwell manor. Phoebe's sitting on the stairs drinking coffee. Piper comes out.]
Piper: You're up early.
Phoebe: I never went to sleep.
Piper: Don't tell me you put on a black conical hat and spent the night flying around the neighborhood on a broomstick?
(She sits down next to Phoebe.)
Phoebe: The only broom I've ever had was kept in a closet beside a mop.
Piper: So what were you doing?
Phoebe: Reading. Is Prue around?
Piper: She went to work early. Reading aloud?
Phoebe: No. According to the Book Of Shadows, one of our ancestors was a witch, named Melinda Warren.
Piper: And we have a cousin who's a drunk, an aunt who's manic, and a father who's invisible. (She stands up.)
Phoebe: I'm serious. She practiced powers. Three powers. She could move objects with her mind, see the future and stop time. Before Melinda was burned at the stake, she vowed that each generation of Warren witches would become stronger and stronger, culminating in the arrival of three sisters. (They walk to Piper's car.) Now, these sisters would be the most powerful witches the world has ever known. They're good witches and I think we're those sisters.
Piper: Look, I know what happened last night was weird and unexplainable, but we're not witches and we do not have special powers besides, Grams wasn't a witch and as far as we know, neither was Mom. (Piper kisses her on the cheek.) So take that, Nancy Drew.
--Something Wicca This Way Comes
------------------------------------------------------------------
(Prue notices a statue standing in the living room.)
Prue: Okay, okay, what's wrong with this picture?
Piper: Aside from me not getting paid enough?
Prue: No. What is Grams' statue still doing in the living room?
Piper: We talked about it last night remember?
Prue: Yes, I do remember, and I thought that we agreed that it was an eyesore and she was going back to storage.
Piper: That is before I learned that storage down town is now 90 bucks a month and storage here is free. So, I called Phoebe and we decided that she can stay here and last I checked we were still living in a democracy.
Prue: Okay, but Piper, she's ugly.
Piper: Majority rules, sis. Unless, you can move her.
(Prue tries to move her with her power. She can't.)
Prue: Oohh... okay, okay, that didn't work.
Piper: It's solid marble. It took eight of Phoebe's bouncer friends to move it. It's too heavy for you.
Prue: You know, my powers are still growing and one day...
Piper: You can move it into the basement. But until then--suffer.
--Which Prue Is It, Anyway?
----------------------------------------------------
Phoebe: February 12, 2009. That's two weeks before the date I saw in my premonition.
Prue: Alright, that should give us more than enough time to figure out what put you there.
Piper: I wonder how I look?
Phoebe: Piper, you look great but this is hardly the time ...
Piper: Not now. In the future. When we went back to the seventies we saw ourselves as kids and now we'll be seeing ourselves walking around ten years older. All that vanquishing. Think of the wear and tear.
--Morality Bites
------------------------------------------------------------
[Scene: Manor. Prue, Piper and Phoebe walk inside.]
Prue: You know what? I've changed my mind. Maybe I should have a party after all.
Phoebe: Are you serious?
Prue: Yeah, why not? I mean, Mark is right.
Piper: Well, Prue, I'm glad you said that 'cause...
(They walk in the living room and there stands a room full of people.)
Everyone: Surprise!
Piper: Did I getcha? I gotcha.
Prue: Yeah, you got me.
Piper: Yeah.
--Dead Man Dating
-------------------------------------
Piper: Speak of the angel. I'll get that. (She answers the door.) Hey, stranger. (She grabs him and gives him a passionate kiss.)
Leo: I would have settled for a nice hello.
Piper: Didn't anyone tell you not to settle?
Leo: That's a good lesson.
Piper: I've been learning a lot of them lately.
Leo: So I've heard. Look, honestly, I didn't know you were gonna be sent to the future. I don't even know what happened when you got there. All I was told was apparently you had something to learn.
Piper: So, that's why you're here.
Leo: No. That's why you're here. You three were given a glimpse of your future to learn a valuable lesson. And I'm glad you learned it too because I know they wouldn't have brought you back if you didn't. Speaking of which, they're making me work tonight, so I can't really...
Piper: This is always gonna be a problem for us isn't it?
Leo: I'm willing to work on it.
Piper: Good. Because I'll never forget you said that.
--Morality Bites
----------------------------------------
Piper: Hey.
Leo: Hey. How are you feeling?
Piper: Okay. A little tired. Which is actually a good thing. Leo, thank you for everything you...
Leo: Couldn't let you die, Piper.
Piper: I'm very glad you couldn't. Did you get in trouble?
Leo: Yeah, actually, a lot. They found out what I did. They clipped my wings.
Piper: What?
Leo: It's not permanent. It's more like a suspension... I hope.
Piper: Leo, I-I-I don't know what to say.
Leo: You don't have to say anything. You didn't do anything, I did. I guess in the back of my mind I always hoped someday, somehow, you and I would get a second chance.
Piper: I'm with Dan now.
Leo: I know. But I also know now that I'm a mortal, I'm gonna fight for you. May the best man win.
--Awakened
------------------------------------------------------
[Scene: Manor. Kitchen. Leo's under the sink, fixing it. Phoebe's sitting at the table and Piper's standing up.]
Piper: So I suggested we add Crab Sautee' to the, uh, lunch menu and it was great. Sold out. Do you like crab, Leo?
Leo: You know what I’d love, Piper?
Piper: What’s that?
Leo: Is the, uh, ratchet extension. Could you hand that to me?
Piper: Sure. (Piper looks in his toolbox but doesn't know what it is. Phoebe walks over and pulls out the ratchet extension.) I knew that. (She takes it from Phoebe and gives it to Leo.) Here you go.
Leo: Thanks.
Piper: (whispering to Phoebe) Stop it. Go away. (She tries to get Phoebe to leave.) Be right back, Leo.
Leo: No problem.
(Piper and Phoebe go in the dining room.)
Piper: Stop it.
Phoebe: My sentiments exactly. Stop hinting around and ask him out already. Give him some of your crab.
Piper: Don’t be disgusting.
Phoebe: Don’t be so shy.
Piper: What if he says no?
Phoebe: Yeah, like that’ll happen.
Piper: No, I’m serious.
Phoebe: So am I.
Piper: I’m very serious. I’ve never... you know...
Phoebe: You're kidding, right?
Piper: No.
Phoebe: You’ve never asked a guy out before?
Piper: Not on a real date, no.
Phoebe: I don’t understand. Am I the only person in this family who’s inherited the take-a-chance gene?
Piper: Probably. ‘Cause if I remember my biology correctly, it’s attached to the can’t-mind-my-own-business gene.
--The Witch is Back
-------------------------------------------------
Leo: Piper, are you mad at me?
Piper: No, don't be ridiculous. Why would I be mad at you?
Leo: I don't know, that's why I'm asking. What is it?
Piper: It's just, um, Dan.
Leo: Oh. Never mind, sorry I asked.
(Leo stands up.)
Piper: Um, he's-he's going to be... (Piper stands up.) he's going to be very upset when he finds out... (pause) you're the one that I really love.
Leo: Yeah?
Piper: Yeah. (They kiss.)
--Murphy's Luck
----------------------------------------------------
Phoebe: Okay. You want to go first?
Piper: No. You go first.
Phoebe: Okay.
(Phoebe snatches a piece of paper from Piper.)
Piper: Hey. That’s not fair.
Phoebe: You want a man who is single, smart, endowed?
Piper: Employed.
Phoebe: Oh, sorry, employed. A man who loves sleeping in on Sunday, sunset bike rides (laughs), cuddling by a roaring fire (laughs) and late-night talks. A man who loves love as much as you do (laughs). Wow. You’re a romantic.
Piper: Yep. Your turn. You want the sexy, silent type that finds you driving through town on the back of a Harley at 3:00 in the morning. A man who appreciates scented candles, body oils and Italian sheets (laughs).
Phoebe: He’s about hunger and lust and danger and even though you know all this, even though you know he’ll never meet your friends or share a holiday meal with your family, you still can’t stay away. And he recycles.
Piper: He recycles?
Phoebe: Yeah. And I think it goes without saying we both want a man who is well...employed.
Piper: You’re seriously twisted.
--Dream Sorcerer
(I always get a kick that Piper was describing Leo and Phoebe was describing Cole!)-------------------------------------------------------------------
Prue: Yeah, I'm serious. I mean, you know, think about it. I mean, we did great today and now tonight it's like we're just...
Piper: Finding a balance in our lives?
Prue: Exactly.
Piper: I do feel pretty good.
Prue: Yeah, I think we're gonna be okay.
Piper: Except there's still our little secret.
Prue: Oh, Piper, everybody has little secrets including Jack and Dan.
Piper: Yeah, unless they're transvestite Nazi war criminals with great face lifts, then I think we've got them beat.
Prue: Okay, so we're never gonna have normal lives.
Piper: Not ever.
Prue: That doesn't mean we can't try sometimes.
Piper: With someone like Dan perhaps?
Prue: With whoever, sweet girl. I just want you loved.
Piper: Thanks.
Prue: You're welcome.
--Heartbreak City
------------------------------------------------------------
Grams: We are gathered here today to unite two souls as one. Do you, Leo Wyatt, and Piper Halliwell, join us here of your own free will to acknowledge the eternal bond shared by both of you?
Leo: I do.
Piper: I do.
Grams: You may face each other, join hands. (They do so.) Uh, Leo, you may recite your vows.
Leo: Piper, through all the tears and struggles, I always knew in my heart that we'd make it here. I promise to love and respect you from this point forward as your husband, as my wife, my lover, my friend, and my soulmate. All I am is yours.
Grams: Piper...
Piper: Leo, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was afraid that you were too good to be true, that maybe I didn't deserve someone so pure and beautiful and loving as you are. But here we are surrounded by the people that I love the most and I feel so proud, and so blessed to be your wife. Leo, I was born to love you and I always will.
Grams: Here before witnesses, Leo and Piper have sworn their vows towards each other. With this cord, I bind them to those vows.
(A rope is loosely tied around their hands.)
Piper, Leo: Heart to thee, body to thee, always and forever, so mote it be.
Grams: So mote it be.
All: So mote it be.
--Just Harried
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Scene: Quake. Piper comes out of the kitchen and go towards Leo.]
Piper: Sorry. Small mutiny in the kitchen. (She sits down.) Where were we?
Leo: Piper there’s something I need to tell you.
Piper: Yeah?
Leo: Uh, look. Forgive me, but I could be summoned at any moment, so I have to tell you this now. I can’t…I can’t, uh…I can’t believe how much I missed you.
Piper: Well Leo, I missed you too, but what do you mean "summoned"? Summoned where?
(Harry comes out of the kitchen and stands by the door.)
Harry: Hey, uh…Piper. No respect I can live with, OK, but where the hell is my coriander?
(He goes back into the kitchen.)
Piper: OK. That’s it. I’m ending this now.
(Piper gets up and heads towards the kitchen. Phoebe enters.)
Phoebe: Oh my gosh. You know.
Piper: Of course I know. The whole restaurant knows. Didn’t you hear him scream across the room?
Phoebe: (To Leo.) I thought it was a secret.
Leo: Phoebe...
Piper: I wish. It will probably be in the newspaper tomorrow.
Phoebe: No. It can’t be. Look Piper, he never meant to hurt you.
Piper: Phoebe, please. You haven’t even meet the manic yet. What’s gotten into you?
(Piper goes into the kitchen. Phoebe looks questionably at Leo.)
Leo: She’s talking about the new chef.
--Secrets and Guys
--------------------------------------------------
[Scene: P3. Prue is wearing a very sexy outfit.]
Phoebe: Oh.. Well, well. And I thought the heat wave was over.
Piper: Yeah, Prue. You look hot.
Prue: I’m just grateful to be back in heels.
Phoebe: Let me see. Oh, yeah. You definitely have that walk down.
Prue: Well, we’ll see if Alan agrees with that.
Phoebe: Alan? I thought you thought he wasn’t interested.
Prue: Yeah, I was wrong. Just a little gender confusion.
Piper: Looks like you learned a few things about being a woman by being a man.
Prue: Actually, I did. I mean, we’re different, which I’m glad about that. But we’re also similar in many ways. You know, we all feel the same emotions. It’s just that if we don’t communicate honestly, then we read between the lines and tend to get everything screwed up.
Piper: And sometimes it’s just up to us to open the door first... take a chance
(They see Dan)
Prue: Oh, you finally called him, huh?
Piper: I got some good advice from the brother I never had. Excuse me.
Prue: You’re welcome.
(She goes to meet Dan.)
Prue: So, what about you, Phoebs?
Phoebe: Me, uh? (She sees Owen) I actually have an appointment with a doctor I’ve been dying to see. I’m still running a little bit hot.
Prue: I see that. He winked at you
(Phoebe goes to meet Owen. The Cranberries start to play.)
Piper: Glad you could make it.
Dan: Are you kidding? I’m just glad you called. Truth is I’ve been waiting to call you for some time now.
Piper: Really? I never would guess.
Dan: You wanna dance?
Piper: Sure.
(They join Phoebe and Owen and start to dance.)
Prue: Alan, hey... Good to see you.
Alan: I’m glad you called back, Prue. I have to admit. I didn’t think you would.
Prue: Well, I wasn’t going to at first. But then I met this really nice guy who encouraged me to go ahead.
Alan: Yeah? Who is he? I wanna thank him.
Prue: Oh, no. I’ll thank him.... Cranberries.
Alan: Let’s go.
(They join Piper and Dan and Phoebe and Owen. Then we see the girls dancing with their guys.)
--She's a Man, Baby, a Man
(Could've stopped this when Piper asks Dan to dance but since the three couples dancing to the Cranberries is my all-time favorite memory of Charmed, I had to include the whole thing.)
