A/N: Hey guys; yup this is another *groan* Piper/Leo fic-it's what I do best.

I haven't forgotten Do Good Things Really Come to an End? But I've had this on my server for quite a while-and I think it's quite good, and I really want to know what you people think of it. And I need a bit more inspiration for DGTRCTAE, I should post the next chapter soon, but don't want to get ahead of myself.

So here's chapter one...

~*~

Oh thinking about are younger years,

There was only me and you,

We were young and wild and free.

~*~

Two young children, a girl and a boy, were running around the Manor.

"I won, I won, I won!" Yelled the blond haired, blue-green eyed boy, who looked about 6, as he jumped onto the sofa.

"Nu-huh! That wasn't fair. You always win..." The girl with long brown hair whined.

"No I don't, just most of the time. I know, next time I'll let you win." The boy said smiling with his new idea.

"Leo...that wouldn't be fair either-I wouldn't feel right, that's like cheating." The young girl sighed.

Leo shrugged, "Sorry Piper." Piper smiled.

"Leo, are you staying for dinner?" Grams voice rang through the house.

"Can I?" Leo yelled back; he loved Grams' cooking and he enjoyed being 'round at his best friend, Piper's, house. For as long as Piper could remember Leo had been there for her; he helped her overcome her mother's death just a year ago, and they could almost always be found together.

"Of course," was Grams' answer as she laid the table in the dinning room.

*********5 yrs later, they're now 11********

Piper and Leo are sitting on a wall talking and giggling.

"Piper?"

"Uh-huh."

"Piper you know you're my best friend...well...can I tell you something?"

"Yeah." Piper said becoming very serious and wary.

"Well...I heard my parents talking, something to do with houses and moving. And to be honest, I'm scared, I don't want to move, I don't want to leave San Francisco. I don't want to leave you either."

"Leo, why don't you just ask them, you're probably not moving and even if you are, I'm sure it won't be far, probably just somewhere else in San Francisco. Anyway, they can't separate us no matter how hard they try, so even if you do end up moving miles away, we'll keep in touch and they'll be summer vacations and stuff. It wouldn't be that bad really, it'd just be a new adventure." Piper said hugging her best friend, in a friendly way of course. Piper was wise for her years and knew full well that if Leo had over heard his parents talking about houses and moving, then it was quite probable that they would move, and she was pretty certain that it wouldn't be just next door. But Piper didn't like seeing her friend sad and upset, so she would try and comfort him.

"Thanks." Leo said jumping down from the wall. Piper soon followed suit and they picked up their bikes, and started cycling fast down the road, occasionally yelling one of their little chants.

**The next day**

Piper and Leo were sitting on Piper's bed. Leo was looking forlorn and Piper had an arm draped around Leo's shoulder.

"Leo, please tell me what's wrong-you know you can trust me."

"Piper, they can't do this...they just can't. It's not fair."

"Leo, what's going on?" They'd been going on like this for a while now, Leo desperately wanted to tell Piper the truth, but he just couldn't and Piper wanted to help Leo, just as he has helped her many times before.

"Leo...please..."

"Pipe...Pi...Piper, it's true, they told me last night, we're moving. I don't want to, I can't. They can't make me, can they?"

"Oh my God, you're moving?" Leo nodded, "Where to?"

"East coast somewhere." Leo said quietly.

"What...the east coast? But that...that's miles away!" Piper said almost bursting into tears at the thought of not seeing her friend for ages.

"Now do you see why I'm so upset? But I've decided I'm not going-they'll have to make me, there's no way I'm leaving just like that."

"Leo, I think you'll have to go. I don't think they'd let you stay here, as much as I'd love it if you could." Leo stared down at the ground, blinking to keep the tears from flowing.

"But we'll keep in touch right? I mean we can write and phone and you can come back next vacation or I could come and visit. We'll work something out."

"Yeah, it would just be so much better if we didn't have to leave in the first place."

"I know, just promise me we'll keep in touch, Leo."

"I swear." Leo said standing up. "Anyway I gotta get going, we gotta start packing."

"Oh...okay" Piper said as she walked with Leo to the front door.

*******One week later-moving day******

"I'll miss you Piper."

"I'll miss you too, Leo."

"I'll call or write as soon as we get there, I promise."

"I'll be waiting!"

"Well, I gotta go soon, but I want to give you this..." Leo said handing Piper a wrapped gift, "Don't open it until this evening-when you're alone."

"Thanks, but I'm sorry, I didn't get you anything."

"It doesn't matter, I don't need anything from you, all I need is to know that we'll always stay friends, no matter what."

"Yeah; no matter what." Piper said hugging Leo goodbye.

That night Piper lay in bed, still and silent when she remembered that Leo had given her a gift. She got up out of bed and walked over to her desk silently, trying not to wake her older sister Prue, she picked up the gift and returned to her bed quietly. She carefully tore open the present and a piece of paper floated to the ground, Piper picked it up and holding it under the light began to read:

Piper,

Piper...I don't really know what to write but, here goes...You've been my best friend for as long as I can remember, so I felt just leaving and then writing you a letter later wasn't enough. So I decided to give you this and write you this letter. Basically I just want to tell you how much you mean to me; Piper, you're a true friend and you've always been there for me, and in turn I've been there for you, and I'm really going to miss you, now that I'll be living on the other side of America from you. But I'm fairly confident that we'll meet again and that we'll always remain friends. So I'll call you when we get there, and I'll write to you. But until then, I hope you enjoy your present.

Your friend, no matter what,

Leo.

P.S. Wherever I am, I want you to know that I'll always be here for you.

Piper finished reading the letter and then turned to the present; it was a fairly small photo album, which contained pictures of her and Leo, from when they were toddlers, to as recently as just a couple of weeks before.

That night Piper cried herself to sleep, knowing that as much as she and Leo tried they may never see each other again.
