A Day to Remember:

Prue stood facing Agent Rodriguez, Piper and Phoebe were on one side of her, while Andy stood on the other, the demon released a ball of blue at them,

"Piper freeze it," Prue instructed, Piper did as she was told and froze the ball in the air. Prue was about to squint her eyes at the ball of energy when Rodriguez said,

"that won't stop me, Tempus will bring me back, and then I'll kill you all," instead Prue squinted her eyes at the book of shadows and it lifted into her hands,

"Prue, what are you doin?" Piper asked, Prue ignored her sister's question and chanted;

"Winds of time gather round,

Give me wings to speed my way,

Rush me on my journey forward,

Let tomorrow be today."

The group looked around to see the hands of the clock spin around, it was now midnight,

"the day's over, you can't reset it now," Prue said, then she flicked out her hands and the energy ball pounded into Rodriguez's chest, bolts of blue coursed through his body and he exploded.

"What a day," Phoebe groaned,

"I think the correct word is days," Andy said with a smile, he and Prue were now standing face to face,

"I'm gonna go to bed," Piper said, trying to make a hint to Phoebe. The youngest sister just stood staring at Prue and Andy, a smile spread across her face,

"Phoebe," Piper said,

"huh," was all Phoebe replied,

"bed," Piper stated, the middle sister grabbed her little sister's wrist and dragged her up the stairs.

"So where does this leave us now?" Andy asked,

"I don't know," Prue replied, he wrapped his arms around her waist and planted a kiss on her lips, then he held her in his arms and kissed the top of her head, Prue pulled her head away from Andy's chest and they shared a passionate kiss.

The following morning, Phoebe stumbled into the kitchen to find Piper pouring herself a cup of coffee,

"I'm so tired," she groaned,

"I'm not," Piper responded, "but I am going to check out a club today,"

"a club? Party girl Piper," Phoebe laughed,

"no, I'm checking it out to buy it," Piper explained, handing her some toast.

"You're buying a club?" Phoebe exclaimed with shock, before Piper could reply Prue walked in,

"nice shirt," Piper joked, Prue looked down at the shirt she was wearing,

"where is he now?" Phoebe asked,

"upstairs, I'm just getting us something to eat," Prue replied. Piper passed her big sister a tray of scrambled eggs, French toast, bacon and waffles, along with two glasses of orange juice,

"I'll help you carry it," Phoebe said, jumping up with excitement,

"nope, you peep," Prue said, then she walked away with the tray floating after her. The two younger Halliwell sisters started up their conversation again when they heard a crash,

"demon!" the heard Prue scream, they ran into the foyer to find a vicious beast standing over an unconscious Prue, he held a sword in his hands and was about to stab into her chest,

"Prue!" Piper exclaimed, freezing the demon. Phoebe ran forward and did a spin kick into his face, he shot backwards and dropped his sword,

"Piper, the sword!" Phoebe yelled, the demon slashed at her neck with his talons,

"Phoebe!" Piper shouted, she ran forward and sliced the sword into the creature's chest, it roared in pain and threw her across the room. Then he turned to see Andy checking Prue's pulse, the demon fired a blast of green at them, but it suddenly flew back at him, Prue had regained consciousness, then he was vanquished.

That afternoon, Prue and Andy were sitting in Quake,

"that was Piper," Prue said setting her phone down on the table, "she has brought the club and is coming here with Phoebe in a minute,"

"Prue, before they get here, I just want to ask you this one thing, do you love me?" he said,

"I love you," she replied with a big smile,

"I love you," he replied, their fingers locked and they kissed.

Meanwhile, Piper and Phoebe were in the car,

"do you think Andy and Prue will work out this time?" Piper asked,

"I hope so, they deserve to be happy," Phoebe replied, Piper gave a nod just as another car shot towards them, crashing into the side of the jeep,

"Piper!" Phoebe screamed at the top of her voice, she watched as the other car hit Piper's side of the car. Moments later, Phoebe looked to see her sister severely injured, what do I do? she asked herself, and then it hit her,

"Leo!" she called, Leo could heal she thought, before calling out again. This time orbs materialised in the back of the car and became Leo,

"Piper needs healing," she said,

"I'll heal her, but you're gonna have to do something about all these people," Leo replied, Phoebe looked out the window to see he was right, groups of people were walking over to the car. She got out the car and began chanting;

"These people walking towards our way,

Make them leave now, don't let them stay,"

all of the people got back in their cars and drove off, as if nothing had happened, Phoebe got back in the jeep.

"She'll be okay when she wakes up, but can you not tell her I was here, it'll only make things harder," Leo said,

"make what harder, the last time you were here you were deeply in love," Phoebe replied,

"I no, but we can't be together, it's forbidden, and if they found out they'd clip my wings," he told her, then he orbed out before she could try and stop him,

"oh it's okay, leave Phoebe with the mess," she said sarcastically to herself.

The night came quickly, Piper and Phoebe were at home, while Prue and Andy were on a date,

"Pheebs, how come I wasn't hurt in the crash?" Piper asked,

"what? oh, well you see…you were, but…I got rid of your physical wounds with a spell," Phoebe lied,

"a spell? What spell?" Piper questioned, Phoebe just gave a large smile, "Phoebe, are you lying to me,"

"nope," Phoebe lied again, then she gave into pressure, "yes, Leo came and healed you, but he said you couldn't see him because it would only make things harder,"

"make what harder?" Piper asked, Phoebe could tell her sister was getting upset and was trying to soften the blow,

"that you…Piper, you can't be together, I'm so sorry," Phoebe said, wrapping her arm around her sister,

"no, its okay, I'm okay, I understand, I just need to be alone," Piper replied, Phoebe nodded and left her sister to sit alone.

Back at the restaurant, Prue and Andy kissed across the table, they were both so happy and in love, like they had never been with anyone else before,

"give it time, give it time," snarled a figure in the corner, Prue felt a tingle up her spine and looked into the corner of the room, just in time to see the figure disappear in a ripple of the air,

"what is it?" Andy asked,

"nothing," Prue replied, she shook away the bad vibe and the smile returned to her face, "but I'll tell you this, if there was ever a day I wanted to live over and over again, it would be today, because it was just…perfect, apart from Piper nearly being killed in a car crash and all of us nearly being killed by some demon, it was just perfect, and it's all because I spent it with you," they both shared a smile, and then they shared a kiss.
