So you wanted more, hmmm? Ask and ye shall receive.
--PHOEBE--
Meanwhile, in the upstairs bathroom, I quickly washed up, and then went back into my room to put on my dress and braid my hair back. I tried my best not to think of what was going to come. I didn't want to think about it; I couldn't or I'd break down and I wanted both Prue and Piper to be proud of me. I was just happy to know that both Prue and Cole would be there for me and Andy would be there for Prue.
I didn't think about Leo; I didn't want to think about Leo. Thinking about Leo would just make me think about Piper. And I didn't want to think about Piper. Not yet.
Once I was ready for the day ahead, I took a deep breath and headed for the kitchen for a cup of coffee. I knew that I wouldn't get through this day without it.
As soon as I entered the kitchen, I walked over to the coffeepot and poured myself a cup, wondering who had made the pot. Looking at the counter and the cupboard and stove, I blinked back my tears. No more home-cooked meals. No more Piper telling me to clean my room or chasing me out of the kitchen. No more Piper at all!
I dropped to a chair and set down my mug as the tears began to fall. Reality hit me like a ton of bricks in the stomach--I would never get to see Piper again!
--COLE--
In the downstairs bathroom, I was finishing up getting ready for the day. I ran a final comb through my hair and made sure my tie was nice and straight. Satisfied with my appearance, I left the bathroom and walked to the kitchen. Now for some much-needed caffeine, because today is going to be a long day.
Entering the kitchen, I spotted Phoebe sitting at the table, staring down at her coffee mug, and sobbing. "Piper?" I inquired, a note of concern in my voice.
--PHOEBE--
I wiped a few tears away with my fingers, but they refused to stop. I acknowledged his question with a nod. "I just realized what is going to happen. No more Piper. She's been one of my big sisters my entire life. I've always had both her and Prue. But now there's no more Piper. And with her gone everything is going to go wrong. How can Prue and I get along without her? She's always been the voice of reason and the only one who can keep the two of us from tearing each other to shreds. Look what happened yesterday! This just isn't going to work!" Again I sniffled back my tears, but they kept rolling down my face in a never-ending stream, so I pulled a tissue from the box that had sat on the kitchen table since we lost Piper and dabbed my eyes with it.
--COLE--
I tried in vain to think of something comforting to say, but I was hopeless at this sort of thing. Instead I just went with my instincts. Hurrying over to her chair, I knelt down next to her and just wrapped my arms around the youngest Charmed One, letting her sob onto my shoulder.
--PHOEBE--
I held tightly onto him as if I was afraid that he'd disappear, too. "Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't it have been me?" The words came out in hiccupping sobs as tears ran down my face and drip onto his shoulder. "Prue and Piper have always been so close to each other. They never would've missed me. It should've been me who went through that wall, Cole. Not Piper."
--COLE--
I reached over and used her chin to raise her head so that I was looking her right in her soft brown eyes. "And what would I have done without you? You're my salvation, Phoebe. I need you. And remember what Andy said. It was simply Piper's turn to go and be with your mother and your grandmother. Everything happens for a reason. We might not like it and we might not understand it, but there's a reason for why it happened."
--PHOEBE--
I sighed sadly as I reverted my gaze back to the kitchen table and the slowly-cooling mug of coffee sitting on the coaster in front of me. Then I looked up at him as I finally caught my breath. "Yeah, I know Andy was right, but it's just gonna be so hard."
--COLE--
I nodded as I took her left hand in mine and placed my right hand on top of hers in a comforting gesture. "But you'll make it. You'll make it because you still have me and Prue and Leo. Leo looked pretty bad last night. He's gonna need you guys a lot."
--LEO--
"Yeah, Phoebe, he's exactly right. I am going to need you and Prue. I'm going to need you two a lot. It won't be easy, but we'll get through this. We just have to stick together."
To Be Continued...

So we've got you reaching for the tissues, hmmm? Perfect! ;D
--PHOEBE--
I looked up and saw my brother-in-law looking older and more haggard than I ever remembered him looking. Suddenly, I felt very guilty for only thinking about myself and how losing Piper would affect me and not about the one who it would affect the most--Piper's husband, the one who once gave up immortality for love of Piper. After taking a sip of coffee, I let out a soft sigh. I've still got Cole and now Prue has Andy. But Leo has no one of his own to turn to--he only has us.
Getting up, I ran over and hugged Leo as tightly as I could. "Yeah, we're going to need you, too," I whispered. "I know it's not the same as having Piper, but remember that you'll always have us."
At that moment, Prue walked into kitchen hearing Leo’s and my words and saw me going over to hug our despondent brother-in-law. Wordlessly she hurried over and joined in the hug, as we tried to give Leo as much comfort and love as we could.
--LEO--
I hugged my sisters-in-law back, trying to absorb as much comfort as possible while still giving these two who have lost their sister as much consolation as I could give.
"You okay, man?" I heard a voice softly ask. "You don't really have to do this." I started to say, "Yes, I do," but when I looked up, I was confused by the new face in the kitchen. This man was short and slim with long chocolate-brown hair and a beard and moustache. His eyes were brown, his cheekbones sharp. If I didn't know better, I would've thought that my Piper had come suddenly back as a man. "Who are you?"
Phoebe and Cole also turned to look at the newcomer and their expressions were as confused as mine.
--PRUE--
I grinned. Yes! They didn't recognize him. That's a good sign. I wonder if they'll figure it out when I say this. Slyly, I asked, "Don't you recognize him? He's our cousin, Manny Hanks."
Phoebe looked perplexed. "We don't have any cous--" Then she smirked knowingly as the name hit her and she put two and two together. "Andy?"
--ANDY--
I nodded in affirmation. "Got it in one, Phoebs. I figure it'll be easier to explain a cousin than explain a long-dead friend." All right. It looks like I passed the test. If Leo and Phoebe didn't recognize me in this disguise, then I'm willing to bet that none of the rest of the mourners will either.
--PHOEBE--
"But others know that we don't have any cousins," I pointed out.
"True," Prue agreed. "But we do have second-cousins--the ones whose grandmother was Grams' sister."
"Of course!" I grinned, catching on. "Great-Aunt Phoebe, the one I was named for! And we got that email from one of her daughters who said they were sorry but none of them could make it from Hawaii."
"Hawaii?" Cole asked.
--PRUE--
I nodded. "Great-Aunt Phoebe was quite a bit younger than Grams and she was like a big sister to Mom when Mom was growing up. But she moved to Hawaii shortly after she got married, so all of those relatives are out there."
Cole grinned. "So none of them will be there, wondering who Cousin Manny is."
Andy nodded. "Exactly. Prue's suggestion after I glamoured. And this way I look like a Halliwell."
"Yes, you do," Leo agreed. "Good idea, Andy, using your glamouring power."
Andy smirked. "My favorite whitelighter trick."
I took a deep breath to gain a sense of composure, and then looked at my family. "C'mon. I guess it's time. Let's go make Piper proud of us." Turning away, I led them out the back door and to my car.
--PHOEBE--
I managed a tiny and slightly-amused grin at Prue's words. Make Piper proud of us. Yeah, that's the right way to think of it. We know how Grams is always watching us. Now Piper will be watching us. She'd want us to make her funeral the best ever.
--COLE--
I solemnly sighed, knowing how tough this was going to be on everyone, but at the same time understanding that it was something they had to do. Hmmm. I’m getting pretty good in the comfort and support department. I reached out my hand towards Phoebe, who took it while picking up her purse with the other and then we followed Prue out the door.
--ANDY--
I turned to Leo. "C'mon, let's go," and when Leo nodded and gave me a little signal to go on ahead, I followed Phoebe and Cole out the door. --LEO--
Once the others were gone, I turned to look around the kitchen, seeing my wife, my love, everywhere I looked. In my own heart I told her how much I loved her; how much I was going to miss her. I gave out a heavy sigh. But my one and always love, how am I going to, as Prue put it, do my best to make you proud? I know one way is to just keep doing my job--guiding your sisters and my other charges--do it in your honor. But this? This public good-bye. Help me, Piper. If you can, help me to make you and Prue and Phoebe proud of me.
Then having said my private good-bye, I prepared myself to go and say my public one. I followed the others out the door, stopping only to shut and lock it.
--PHOEBE--
I held tightly to Cole's hand as we slowly made our way towards the cars. I so do not want to do this! I don't, I don't, I don't! If I don't go to the church, Piper won't be dead! Piper can't be dead! She can't be! How can Prue and I survive without her?
More to follow....

Thank you Sammi, woogyinthehouse and Phoebe_Halliwell for being such loyal and awesome reviewers! (Hint, hint: you might wanna keep those tissues nearby for the next couple of updates!)
--PHOEBE--
Seeing Piper's SUV parked in the driveway brought fresh tears to my eyes. What will we do with it? No way I'd want to drive it--I'd be so afraid of putting a scratch on Piper's beloved vehicle. We'll probably have to sell it. And the club. What will we do with P3? And her clothes and, and, well, everything. No, no, I can't think of such things. I won't think of such things. At least not now.
We followed Prue over to her car, and she walked over to the driver side. Andy walked up next to her and shook his head. "No, let me. Admit it, Prue. I can get us there safely; could you?"
--PRUE--
I started to argue with him, but I had to admit that Andy was right since neither Phoebs, Leo, nor myself were in any kind of mental state to be behind the wheel, so I just silently handed him the keys and walked around to the passenger side instead.
--PHOEBE--
I opened the back door and crawled into the back, my feet on the hump, Cole following me, his hand still firmly grasped in mine. Leo got in on the other side. He still looked absolutely devastated, so I took his hand, too. I didn't know if it would help him, but it helped me to be hanging onto both my sweetie and my brother-in-law.
As we headed toward the church, both of us were glad that we had taken care of all of the arrangements before I had that premonition that led to mine and Prue's blowup. And we were all glad that we were heading toward a church. I thought we should have a Wiccan ceremony in the mausoleum, but Prue disagreed and I had to admit that my big sis was right.
--PRUE--
Had it been one of us who had died, then a ceremony like that would've made sense. But not for Piper. Piper was the one who always wanted a normal life and most of the people who knew her didn't know her as a Wiccan or as a witch, they knew her through P3 or Quake. And of all three of us, Piper was the one who remained the most Christian, even after we became witches. Unknown to both of us, we were both remembering the scene Piper had told us about, shortly after Phoebe read the spell that made us Charmed:
[Start Flashback (Episode 1.02 I’ve Got You Under My Skin)] 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.) [End Flashback]
--PHOEBE--
I softly laughed through my tears. Oh, Piper! It seems so strange that we're now heading toward that same church and that Pastor Williams is the one who'll be officiating the ceremony.
I squeezed Cole's hand, glad that despite being half-demon, he had his demon half well under control and would now be counted as good. By saving me from the Source and not handing me over, he now had a bounty on his head, but he would be able to go into the church and be with me without any fears of being struck by lightning or anything else. I knew that--he'd come with us when we went over to talk to Pastor Williams and Cole was able to walk in without any problems. And both he and Leo had verified that evil could not go into a church. Cole would have no fear of bounty hunters as long as we were all in the church. Later, at the celebration of Piper's life at P3, maybe. And if that did turn out to be the case, we’d have to handle that when we'd have to. We somehow had to get through this first.

You guys are more than welcome -- knowing that readers are enjoying what you write is what helps to keep a writer going! ;D
More you wanted, and more you shall receive!
--PRUE--
While Phoebe was deep in thought in the backseat, I was remembering another conversation between Piper and the pastor that Piper told us about. Little did I know that Phoebs was remembering the same one:
[Start Flashback (Episode 1.02 I’ve Got You Under My Skin)]
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.
[End Flashback]
--PHOEBE--
Again I laughed through my tears: Oh, Piper, when you told me about that, I thought you were going to kill me! But I knew that couldn't be true; it couldn't--how could we be the protectors of the innocent if we were evil?
--PRUE--
Both of us wondered if Pastor Williams ever thought about that conversation and if maybe that's why he agreed to let us adapt the readings we’d be giving. Is our doing the readings really a good idea? Maybe we should've had someone one else do them. But, no, we've changed them to fit Piper--it just wouldn't be right for anyone else but us to read them. We can do it. For Piper.
--PHOEBE--
And later on, Piper told us about how she found out whether we were or weren't still good:
[Start Flashback (Episode 1.02 I’ve Got You Under My Skin)]
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!
[End Flashback]
I smiled softly through my tears. And that's when you found Brittney, our first innocent who we saved from evil, and that led you and Prue into saving me from that same evil. You were wearing your cross then, Piper. You always wore it. You're still wearing it. Yes, having your funeral in a church makes perfect sense.
Need I even say what you need to do for more?

Thanks you guys! I've said it before, and I'll say it again...you rock!
And to make your weekend more enjoyable--here's a new piece for you...enjoy!
--PRUE--
Up in the front seat, I was lost in my own little world—staring out the side window and daydreaming.
[Start Flashback (Episode 2.19 Ex Libris)]
[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 the shower curtain open 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.
[End Flashback]
A sad smile crept across my face as another memory played through my mind, this time from even further back. [Start Flashback (Episode 1.16 That 70’s Episode)]
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.
[End Flashback]
Sweetie, you weren’t just my sister—you were my best friend, too. Even when we were that little, we were inseparable. I never thought there would come a day when you wouldn’t be around.
--PHOEBE--
In the backseat, I found myself snuffling back my tears as I remembered Piper's reaction when we first became witches: [Flashback (Episode 1.01 Something Wicca This Way Comes)]
[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. [End Flashback]
Oh, Piper, how I wish that had just been a story, that neither Grams nor Mom were witches and neither were we. If it was true, you'd still be alive!
To be continued....

Thank you yet again! ;D
Here's a new piece for your reading pleasure....
--PRUE--
I continued to stare out the window, content to stay lost in my memories:
[Flashback (Episode 1.16 Which Prue Is It Anyway?)]
(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.
[End Flashback]
Even though you were the quietest one out of the three of us, you had the driest sense of humor and the right one-liners to make light out of even the most serious of situations. We sure could use one of those right now…
[Flashback (Episode 2.03 Morality Bites)]
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.
[End Flashback]
And on the flip side of your sarcasm was that sweetness, kindness, and spontaneity that made you, you. That’s what I’m going to miss most of all.
[Start Flashback (Episode 1.04 Dead Man Dating)]
[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.
[End Flashback]
I wish you still had me, sweetie, and I wish I still had you. But you'll always have my heart.
--LEO--
Next to Phoebe in the back seat, I sniffled back my tears. This was unreal to me--so very unreal. Just like the two sisters, my mind also began to wander: [Start Flashback (Episode 2.03 Morality Bites)]
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.
[End Flashback]
Oh, sweetheart, I never did. I never would've. I never will.
Immediately another memory came to my mind:[/color] [Start Flashback (Episode 2.12 Awakened)] 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. [End Flashback] And I fought with everything I had. If I hadn't, if I'd let you marry Dan and have the normal homelife you wanted so badly, would you have lived longer? If that's what it meant, I'd turn that back in an instant, sweetheart, but I'm still glad you chose me, because I would never want to be without all the wonderful memories we made together.[/color]
