Thank you guys (and girls) so much for your reviews. They mean a great deal for me.

ethereal girl: Yes, Cole is unsure of what he feels and that's going to stay that way for a little while longer. As for your question, Cole does have his powers. He's just trying to use them as little as possible. You might want to read the last part of chapter 1 again. That is where he sort of talks about his life for a little bit, kind of gives the summary of it. But don't worry, I'll explain everything as I go further into the story. And as for Phoebe, it is definitely like her to fall for the bad guys. Totally true. Oh, and there will be more and more confrontations between Michael and Cole (well, not exactly fistfights right away, but eventually, there might be some).

sveta89: Okay. Frankly, I've got no clue what "XD" means, but I'll take it as a compliment or something like that. Thanks for the review. I hope I won't disappoint you.

middnightblossom: Thanks and I'll try updating more often from now on.

Vampiress24: First of all, do you know anybody who DOESN'T like reviews? I doubt it. And of course I love reviews. I'm glad you reviewed this story. Thanks for the support - it means a lot to me. Oh, and you're going to read more about how creepy Michael is.

Phoebe Turner Halliwell: Yep, Cole is jealous, though he doesn't know it quite yet. And yes, in the show there weren't any moments in which Cole got jealous and that is definitely something that could be explored further. Oh, and sorry for not updating for so long and for not reviewing your story for the past couple of chapters. I just haven't gotten around to it. I will review them once I read them, though.

pam halliwell: Thanks. I'll try updating the story as soon as I can, though sometimes that's not often enough and I do feel very bad for that.

Ancient Galaxy: Thanks.

lou: There will be more interactions between Phoebe and Cole, and trust me, you will find out more about Michael. He will be playing quite a part in this story - in the beginning anyway since, like the title suggests, honeymoon is just the beginning for everything.

sehar: Oh, you are definitely going to see Phoebe and Cole getting into an argument, that's for sure. As for the rest, you're just going to have to wait and see. I don't want to give too much away. (Aren't I evil?)

phoebe turner: Thanks.

Please, don't hire an assassin to kill me. I'll be good from now on. I'm so terribly sorry for not updating for such a long time. I know it's been almost two months since my last update. It's just that things have been going crazy for me lately, especially after I got sick at the end of September. Then, all of the catch-up work from school was killing me. Ironically, I got sick again and I have missed school. That is why I had the time to write this chapter. In any case, I'll really try my best updating every week or so (I know I said that last time, but this time I do really mean it). Enough with the chit-chat. Here's the new chapter. I've been writing it for three days, so I hope it was worth it.

Honeymoon Is Where It Begins

By: True Love Lives Forever

Chapter 5: Newlywed Fights

It seemed like it took Phoebe and Cole forever to actually get to their suite because the silence between them was way too unbearable and every moment made it even worse than it was before. Eventually, they did reach their room and quietly got in - everything was silent.

Of course this was the uncomfortable silence that spread across the room and it was becoming harder and harder for the two of them to stay that way. But at the same time, neither could find the words to express what they felt. Everything was just too crazy around here, and it was their very first day here. If it's that bad now, what awaited them in the future was something they didn't want to think about.

After some time, which seemed way much longer for them than it really was, Cole couldn't just stand it anymore. By now his blood was just totally boiling and he couldn't even pin point on the reason. That was the thing that was really driving him insane.

This was it. Cole couldn't keep it to himself and the one thing that was on his mind for way too long finally exploded in a series of ranting, "Can you believe him? Come on, could he be any more blunt than he already was?" The only thing that he was able to do at that time, in addition to ranting, was wave his hands around as if they were caught with fire, almost as if that proved his point. "I mean, why didn't he just ask you to marry him right there and then? Sure he now knows that you're married, but hey, that doesn't seem to stop him from flirting with you and throwing me out the restaurant door."

But, unfortunately for Cole, Phoebe was not a happy camper either. Her temper was also on the edge, just like Cole's and she was not about to let him vent and sit quietly as he does it. "Hey, will you calm down. If anybody has the right to get pissed off right now, it's me." She threw her hands in the air, almost imitating Piper when she freezes something, or somebody. "Can things get any worse? Ugh. I probably shouldn't have even asked that. Now I probably jinxed myself again to an even larger degree." Under her breath she added, "As if that's possible."

Frustrated, she sat down on the comfy chair that she was standing by and automatically put her head in-between her hands - the obvious motion of despair and confusion. "Can't I have one normal boyfriend that's not a criminal and is decent at the same time. Is that just too much to ask?"

That is when an idea hit her, "Hey, maybe I should become a nun. That way I will not have to put up will all of this… this…" Not knowing how to express her thoughts, she just waved her hands into the air. Of course that was only a joke. A crazy joke since it came out of Phoebe's mouth and not somebody else's, but it did get a reaction from the one person that was with her in the same room because as soon as Cole heard what Phoebe said, he couldn't help but snort in response.

Then he added, "Yeah, what a great idea. But you're going to have to wait on that one. I'm sure your ex-boyfriend, or rather the future boyfriend, is already planning how to ask you out once again. Though I'm sure this time he'll probably create some kind of a diversion to get rid of me first and then do that. Actually, never mind. He doesn't care whether I'm here or…" He didn't get the chance to finish that thought of his for he was interrupted by no other than Phoebe.

"Oh, pleeeaase, Cole." She shot him an angry look as she stretched the word for a couple of extra seconds in sarcasm. "Will you knock it off already? He doesn't even know where we're staying. I never told him how to find us, remember. Besides, what's your problem anyway?" With some additional sarcasm, she asked, "What? Didn't get enough coffee in the morning?"

"Oh, I got enough coffee, thank you very much. But in case you forgot, which I'm sure you did, so don't bother answering that one, your old and new boyfriend actually owns this ship. You remember that one? He could find out where we're staying before we can blink our eyes!"

"Oh, you're so smart, aren't you? You know, I…" Phoebe just stopped mid-sentence. She was mad and obviously so was he. But as much as she wanted to argue with somebody to get her anger out, she also knew it was pointless. So instead of continue their first "newlywed fight," she just took a long sigh. Phoebe realized he was right. She knew he was right even before, but it just felt good to release her built up stress. Instead, she just got lost in her thoughts.

There was no way that they'll be able to hide from Michael on this ship. He'll know instantly where they are since he's got too many people he can ask for help that work for him. As for Phoebe and Cole, they've got nobody to depend upon. Only each other. If they screw up somehow, there's not going to be anybody who can help them out. They're all along in the ocean while Darryl and the police are on land with no way of contacting them and vice versa since that would cause Michael to be way suspicious of the two of them.

But then again, why on earth is she thinking this way. It's not like they have to hide from him because he already knows that they're after him. There's no way he could have figured that out in the little time they have seen each other. Besides, Michael's obvious interest in her might actually help her and Cole to get the information they need to bust him for smuggling drugs - the reason they're here in the first place.

Michael, right. It was starting to get on her nerves how Cole always repeats boyfriend and boyfriend, instead of using his name. He didn't have to point out her mistake over and over again or stick his nose into it. Sure he's stuck in the middle of it now. But why is he making such a huge deal about it anyway? How was she supposed to know that he was a criminal. Well, now it's time to correct some of her past mistakes by putting him behind bars.

Cole's sarcastic words brought her out of her reverie, "You might as well start thinking of what you will tell him when he comes in here asking to… I don't know. Something. Ask you on a date or whatever."

Phoebe looked up at him, just in time to see him flop onto another comfy chair opposite her. "Cole," she softly called out. He looked at her tiredly and she took that as a sign to continue, "Come on. It's actually not that bad. We're not running away from him. That's not going to help us anyway." She paused for a second and hopefully said, "Well, at least not yet."

"So what are you saying?" He was not in the mood to try and figure out what her little mind thought of this situation. After all, he's not psychic and he's not going to become one anytime soon. Besides, this whole mess was starting to give him a headache a long time ago and with every moment it was becoming worse and worse. That's the moment he got his response, bringing him out of his thoughts.

"We can use this situation to our advantage. I can try to distract him long enough for us to get what we want and be over with it." As she was talking, Cole stretched out on the chair and listened to Phoebe rather unwillingly, though at the same time knowing that she was right. The ship was too huge for them to just start searching it randomly. Who knows how Michael manages to get those drugs through on this ship, and especially where? It would take them way too long to get enough clues to help them out and unfortunately, time was the one thing they really lacked. After all, 3 weeks isn't that long. They better start somewhere and this was their only way in. It might not be the easiest and the safest, but it was the one that most likely will bring results they need.

Nevertheless, as much as he thought this was the best way to go about their case, there was a nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach that was bugging him, telling him that something was not right here. There was some kind of a reason to not go about it this way. He knew there was something, but he couldn't pinpoint it right away. It was just floating somewhere in his subconscious but also out of reach at the moment.

Cole's thoughts just started to flow one after another. It probably had to do with the fact that if Phoebe started to hang around this Michael guy, it will give people the false impression about me. After all, if a girl hangs around another guy, something was probably wrong with the first one, which is me in this case. This nagging feeling was probably a result of not wanting to look like an idiot in front of others. Though on the other hand, since when did I really care about what others felt about me? I always did what I wanted without a care in the world. Why should now be any different? Maybe because I don't want to mess up my first undercover job. That could be it. That was probably it.

Even though his head was telling him that he finally came up with the right reason, his heart was telling him otherwise. There was something else that he didn't quite think about. In any case, it was just getting to hard for Cole to think and the more he thought, the worse headache he got from it as a result.

Instead of thinking any longer, he just decided to lie down and relax. This day was long enough as it was, even though it was barely 4 pm. With a sigh, Cole raised himself and went over to the sofa, where he spread himself until he was comfortable enough. A quick glance in Phoebe's direction showed him that relaxation and rest was the exact thought in her mind as well.

There would be plenty of time to look around the ship and snoop around. After all, a couple of hours wouldn't do that much damage and them being wasted on the very first day was not such a good idea anyway. They can start on their mission in the evening, once they rest for a little while.

---

One and a half weeks later

---

Despite Phoebe and Cole wanting to make as much progress as possible in their mission, it just seemed impossible, or at least very close to impossible.

At first, they tried figuring out where Michael and whoever might be working for him hid the drugs on this ship. That, however, didn't go too well. They searched the places they could get into without being caught. That proved to be pointless. They didn't want to risk it and go into restricted areas. Otherwise, if they got caught then their cover was going to be blown.

At least that was what Phoebe did and thought that Cole did as well. However, unknown to her, Cole did have some pretty close calls on that end. Sometimes, when Phoebe would be asleep, he would go out, or rather shimmer out, and search some of the restricted areas on the ship to the passengers. Those mostly included places were only the staff could go to and some where only the captain and especially Michael.

But despite all of Cole's efforts, even that method didn't get him very far. The only thing he achieved a couple of times was almost getting caught, though shimmering out back into his and Phoebe's suite before somebody got the chance to see him.

Michael, though, was seriously becoming more and more annoying for Cole. It seemed that no matter where he went or did, he was always around him and Phoebe. The only thing that Cole could be glad about is that Michael wasn't around the places he would shimmer in. That would seriously be horrible if somehow Michael caught him doing that. Not only would he bust Cole for spying on him, but he would also discover magic and that it really exists. Cole knew that he shouldn't be using magic in such a situation, but he just couldn't help it anymore. At first, he didn't use it, but he just started to do so a couple of days ago when it became clear that neither him nor Phoebe will find anything just by searching the "easy" places.

In any case, even though Cole supposed that Michael was going to hang around him and Phoebe since the very first day of their cruise when he found out that they "knew" each other, it was just too much for him. It was very obvious that Michael wasn't even trying to hide his interest in Phoebe at all. He was just asking her to spend time with him at every opportunity and meeting, which Cole had to admit was a little too often for his taste.

In the beginning, Phoebe refused. But since their research proved to be useless, Cole and Phoebe had to agree that she had to accept Michael's proposal for a date, or as he put it, a way to catch up on the old times. So, for the past couple of days, Phoebe would do her job of distracting Michael as they would go someplace on the ship. Meantime, Cole would use that time to search places where only Michael had the right to go along with a couple other people. The hiding place of the drugs must be somewhere where not a whole lot of people could go to, otherwise these drugs would have been discovered a long time ago. Or that would mean that there are just way too many people involved in this whole thing, which is not a good thing for Cole and Phoebe since that would mean they are outnumbered even more than they thought in the beginning of getting into this whole assignment.

So far, Cole only got the chance to search Michael's office. Even though he'd been trying to do that for a couple of days, it wasn't that easy because there are always 2 guards outside of it 24/7. But that also seems a bit weird since Cole didn't even find anything that pertained to his case. He had to search everything very quietly so he didn't get the attention of the guards, but there was just a whole bunch of papers about Michael's deals with numerous companies and things such as that. Though nothing on drugs or other illegal business.

The bad thing for Cole, though, was that he only got the chance to search the office very late at night, while Phoebe was out with Michael doing God knows what. He was wondering what they were doing together. But by the time he got back into his suite, he just didn't have the strength to wait for her to come back and tell the tale. He just fell onto the bed and probably fell asleep right away as well. He didn't know for sure, so that must be what happened. He didn't even here when Phoebe came back - if she did.

---

"Rise and shine, honey," sounded Phoebe's cheerful voice with a playful emphasis as she opened the curtains of the bedroom windows to let the sun shine its light inside her and Cole's bedroom.

"You rise, you shine," was the short, grumpy, but "straight-to-the-point" kind of reply from Cole. Not having enough sleep didn't have a very positive effect on Cole, though by now he probably should have gotten used to it since he's been out searching the ship at night as well. Unfortunately, adding more sleepless nights to the list never helps anybody.

"Wow! I see I learned a couple of things about you right away, Hubby," said a mildly amused Phoebe.

"Oh, yeah? And what would those be?" Cole's question could be barely heard for he mumbled it into the pillow in a very sleepy voice as he glanced at the clock that was placed on the night stand.

With a little chuckle, Phoebe answered him, still being a bit amused, "Well, for starters, you really are cranky in the mornings and…"

Cole didn't let her a finish as he quite rudely interrupted her, "I'm not cranky in the mornings. And this is not a morning. It's still night. I consider 5:45 part of the night."

"Yeah, that just proves my point, Cole. You are not a morning person."

Cole started to sit up on the bed, but still very sleepy and not in the mood for anything. That is, anything except for one thing, and one thing only - sleep. "For your information, I am a morning person. But today is not my day." He started to stretch his neck and continued, "While you got to go around with our dear friend, having the time of your life, I ended up trying not to get caught as I was sneaking around every place that's associated with him. Speaking of which, when did you get back? And what on earth were you doing with that creep, anyway?"

"Creep? Oh, come on, he's not that much of a creep."

"Oh, my bad." Cole was not in a good mood, that was way too obvious, though obviously Phoebe didn't quite read the signs. Or if she did, she ignored them. Either way, the last thing Cole wanted was to start a conversation about his "best pal." But, on the other hand, starting out the day with an argument didn't seem like that bad of an idea, especially since he had nothing else to do and he was frustrated with quite a couple things that have been bugging him.

So he started saying the first thing that got on his mind, "Of course he's not a creep. He just sells drugs to the kids on the street which eventually kills them. Sure, he's not a creep. He's a Mr. Nice Guy. He's…"

"Okay, Okay. I know that. That's why I'm here, remember?"

"Really? Is that really why you're here? I'm actually surprised the two of you haven't gotten married yet. But hey, there's plenty of time until the end of this cruise. Only one and a half weeks are up, you've still got the same amount of time to actually do it."

That was the wrong thing to say for Cole because that got Phoebe to snap, "You know what? That's enough. What is your problem, anyway? There's no way in hell am I planning to marry him in a million years. I'll think of doing that only if pigs will start flying. Though, I doubt there's chance of that happening. Either way, I have never even though of marrying him and especially not now when I know what kind of bastard he is. And besides, the two of us aren't really married, remember?" As she said the last sentence, she pointed her fingers at Cole and herself, indicating whom she was talking about. But without losing a beat, she continued, "Or did you actually have a very crazy impression that somehow we were truly a husband and a wife? I'm just getting really sick of you complaining when you know very well this is the only way that we might be able to solve our problem and…"

"I know what we said before and why we're doing this, Phoebe," interrupted Cole, very much on the edge. "I know very well why we're here. I knew it before you did. And we both know that we agreed to try and get on friendly terms with this Banmer so that we might get some information out of him since there is obviously no other way. But you didn't have to get that close to him either! Now he probably thinks that you never even liked me since you now agree to do whatever he asks you to."

"Hey, I don't do everything he asks me to. And if anybody's reputation is at stake here, it's mine. I am the one that end up looking like a slut here, not you. And you know what? I didn't even volunteer for this. Okay? The only reason I agreed to go along with this stupid mission is because of Darryl. He's a very good friend of my family and I didn't want to offend him or anything like that by refusing. So back off, Cole, and stop acting like a baby!"

"Who? Me? I'm a baby? Oh, please, if anybody here is acting like a kid, it's you!"

That was the last straw for the two of them. They just kept arguing because it seemed like the only thing left to do mostly because both of them were just too stubborn to let it go and be the first ones to give in. They had to get their way. But at the same time, they knew very well that they weren't going to get anywhere this way. They had to work together on this or they would both get into way too much trouble to be able to get out of it alive.

Phoebe was the first one to come to senses and to actually act on them. After taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself down. Then she spoke a bit more calmly then just seconds ago, "Let's just drop this. We're not getting anywhere this way and it's not helping us at all."

An unbearable silence followed her words for a couple of moments. Knowing that she was right, Cole gave in. "Fine," he said as he got up from the bed and went over to the closet to get some fresh clothes out. "Did you find anything useful from him?"

"No, I didn't get the chance to. I can't exactly just come out and ask him where he's hiding drugs on this damn ship. And I never had the chance to search anything that was nearby and belonged to him. Besides, it's not like I've been to his room or office or anything like that." After a short pause, she glanced at Cole and continued, "Speaking of which, did you get the chance to get into his office like you planned for the past couple of days?"

At that time, Cole was stretching his neck. It had been a rough night and his neck became quite stiff. "It was useless. It was just about impossible to get in there because he's got two guards watching his office. But once I got in, there was nothing about drugs or anything that might help us."

As Phoebe was swallowing the information, she realized he didn't mention something. "What about his computer? There must be something there."

"I tried to get on, but I need a password. I tried some words and phrases that I thought he might have used, but I don't know what the password." With a wry grin, Cole added, "Unless you can get him to confess a password to you, we're not getting anything from his stupid computer."

"Hey, that's a thought. Maybe I'll try to get it out of him somehow." Sure, she could get him drunk. But then again, from what she remembered, Michael didn't get drunk easily. She probably shouldn't risk it and try to get him drunk enough to question him. He might still comprehend enough to know what he was doing, or rather was she would be trying to do. You never know how somebody's mind really works and this idea could get her into serious trouble.

As if he was reading her mind, Cole turned around to look at Phoebe. "You do realize that you must be extra careful with that idea. He's not somebody you can mess around with easily. At least not without consequences." The only thing Phoebe did in reply was nod her head. She knew that and there was no point in getting into details anyway. Instead, there was something else that was on her mind that just popped into her head at that moment.

As interesting as it is, Cole got the feeling from Phoebe's expression that she wanted to ask him something, so he went out with it and asked, "What is it?"

"Huh?" Phoebe asked, confused, not knowing what he meant.

"What are you so curious about?" When his partner still looked like she didn't know what he was talking about, he added, "You look like you want to ask me something. Well, what is it?"

"Oh, that's what you mean." Now the meaning of his question had finally dawned on her. "It's nothing really. I was just thinking about what you said a while ago. How did you get into Michael's office if there are bodyguards there? You said before that you've been trying to get in there for a while and now you got in somehow. How?"

Great. Another question he did not want to answer. "I shimmered in there" would not be a very good answer to her question. She'd probably ask something like "What do you mean by 'shimmered in?'"

Oh, well. He just decided to use the easy way out. "There are guards around Michael's office, not in it. I just used good timing, got inside, looked around the place quietly without getting their attention, and found a good time to get out of there unnoticed when they left for a couple of minutes for some reason. Who knows what it was?" As he finished, Cole hoped he sounded realistic and that his face didn't betray him. It would be so much easier if Phoebe bought his story. He didn't want her to doubt him as well and wander what was going on with him.

To Phoebe, it did seem a bit strange, but since she didn't have any reason to doubt her partner, she didn't pay much attention to the pitfalls in his story. She just let it go. But she did say one thing, "Be careful. It's risky to do something like that. What if somebody came in? Especially Michael? We'd both be in over our heads."

With an inaudible sigh of relief, Cole replied, "Yeah, I know. I'll be more careful from now on." But at the same time, he was thinking to himself that that's not going to change much. He always shimmers into someplace after he senses whether or not somebody is there. The only problem that he might have is that somebody walks into the place so suddenly that he wouldn't even have the opportunity to shimmer out. So far, it's been going fine for the most part. Sure he had some close calls, but he had them for his whole life. That's not anything new. Besides, all of his senses are always on the lookout for any danger, which in this case includes intruders. Well, actually, if you think about it, he's the intruder while others aren't. Either way, he generally sees if any danger is coming up.

Phoebe's voice pulled him out of his reverie, "What are you planning next?" At this point she was sitting on a chair close to the bed, looking up at the one she was talking to.

After a moment of thinking, the addressed person replied, "I'm not quite sure. I want to search his suite. He probably keeps all of the secret information someplace close to him where nobody can put their hands on it." As he was saying this, he flopped on the bed once again and combed his hair with his own hand. By this time, all of the sleep was gone from his mind and he was in the full thinking mode, somewhat frustrated. "At least I hope that his suite is where he keeps all of this info. Otherwise, I'm clueless. We've been searching the ship for one and a half weeks. Our time is getting shorter and shorter by the minute and we're not any closer to the truth than we were when we got here. If I can't find anything in his bedroom, I don't know what else to do."

Totally understanding what her partner means, Phoebe didn't have anything else to do then to agree with him, "Yeah, I know you mean. I feel useless. We've been here for so long but we got nothing. Zip. Nada. Just absolutely nothing…"

Looking up at her, a bit amused but also knowing exactly how she feels, Cole stopped her rant before it got out of hand, "Okay. I got it. I got your point. We didn't get anything done so far. But that means that we just have to work harder."

Phoebe snorted at that. "No. For you that might mean that you have to search Michael's things harder. For me, on the other hand, that means that I have to spend more time with somebody who's is a jerk and who doesn't even know it himself. And if he does, he obviously doesn't give a damn. It's just so ridiculous. I mean, he doesn't even have any morals. I just can't believe I never noticed that about him when I lived in New York where I met him. How is that possible? Was I that stupid and blind?" She just kept ranting and didn't even glance in Cole's direction. "How on Earth can a guy keep asking out somebody whom he knows of as already a married woman? And as if that wasn't bad enough, he doesn't even try to hide it from her husband. Sure we're not married or anything, but he doesn't know that…"

What Phoebe didn't notice as she was continuing her rant, was that as she was talking, Cole was getting more and more angry by the minute. It was just crazy. The guy was seriously getting on his nerves and Cole didn't even understand why. He didn't like it when Phoebe would start talking about him, especially in this little rant of hers. Why? He didn't know. All he knew was that he wished he could avoid the "Michael" topics, as he labeled them, but at the same time, he knew it was impossible. That was what this whole mission was about, why they were here in the first place.

Because Cole got enough of the "Michael" problems in his own head and got tired and annoyed of hearing more about him and what he does, he interrupted Phoebe quite rudely. "Okay, Okay. Well, the sooner we get this over with, the less you're going to have to put up with him." Under his breath, he added, "And the less I'm going to have to deal with him, too."

Taken aback a little by Cole's tone of voice, also mostly surprised, Phoebe quit talking and looked up at him. As she put her thoughts together, she asked, "And how do you plan to get this thing over with?"

Not wanting to admit his lack of a plan, Cole just wanted to give the basic idea. But then, an idea popped into his mind. Even though for some reason he didn't even like his own idea, he still voiced it out, "He is going to come here tonight as well, isn't he?"

The only thing he got in reply was "most likely."

Since that is what he expected her answer to be, he continued a bit unwillingly, "Could you "watch him" whenever he comes in here once the two of you will leave?" As he said that, he was wandering himself where will they go and what will they do. Not knowing where these thoughts came from, he tried to ignore them and continued once again, "Meanwhile, I try to get into his suite and snoop around there. Hopefully, that will bring some positive results for us and neither of us will have to deal with him for much longer." Though somehow, he knew that was too much to ask for.

As for Phoebe, she just wished it would work. It's not that she seriously hated Michael. In fact, if she didn't know about him being a criminal that sells drugs, she would have probably enjoyed his company. It was just that fact that was spoiling his whole image. Of course she couldn't tell him that as a reply to "will you go out with me tonight?" So, she just decided to go along with this idea and hope for the best.

"It better be worth it," was the last thing Cole could hear from Phoebe as he watched her getting up from the chair she was in and walking out of the bedroom and into the living room, getting read to order breakfast and start out a new day full of excitement and unexpected events that the day would bring.

And, oh yes. The new day will bring a whole lot of unexpected events that will change both of their lives forever, not to mention their so called "honeymoon."

Author Notes:

So, what did you think about this chapter? I tried making it a bit more exciting, interesting, and with some sense of humor to sort of make up for the time that I haven't updated (sorry again about that). It's also a whole lot longer than usually (though please don't get used to it).

Anyway, how was it? Did you guys like it? How do you like the interactions between Cole, Phoebe, and Michael so far? Oh, and in the next chapter there will be some interesting moments revolving around Phoebe/Cole/Michael. Wanna guess from what I wrote so far?

I know I'm not really great at writing, but I think I am improving. But, please, keep in mind that it is my very first creative story ever. Before this one, I only wrote tons of essays and things such as that.

Anyway, please, REVIEW! It means a great deal to me. Besides, I'm not asking you guys to write an essay or anything. Just a couple of words is good enough for me (well, the more, the better. But I'll be really, really grateful for just a couple words. After all, something is better than nothing.) Please, REVIEW and THANKS!

P.S. Could somebody help me, please? When I go to the "C2 Manager" on my account and then go to the "stats," it says that I've got 4 subscribers. What does that mean and what am I supposed to do, if anything? I'm still trying to figure out how some things work around here, so I don't know everything just yet.

(You people aren't going to hire an assassin on me, are you? You better not. My mom nearly killed me as it is when she saw me working at the computer at 4 in the morning on Sunday, trying to finish this very chapter so that I can post it up on FF. Well, I actually call it a very late Saturday night, but who cares what you call it.)

P.P.S. How do you guys think Phoebe will react when she learns that Cole is a demon? (Just some food for thought, as one of my teachers say.)
