The Charmed Ones are having Black Outs at any given time. But when they try to confront Leo about it, hes too busy, doing something else that he refuses to tell them about. If Leo cant get past his secret, will the Charmed Ones end up with an eternal Black Out?
Phoebe threw open the door to P3 and stepped outside.
"What do you want to do tomorrow night, vanquish another demon, or go straight to killing Cole?"
Piper, who was walking a few feet behind her, next to Paige, groaned and rubbed her neck. But before Piper had the chance to comment, her cell phone rang.
"Hello? --- Yeah. --- That'd be great! --- Great. --- Alright, 7:30 tomorrow. ---Alright, bye."
Paige and Phoebe eyed her curiously as they crowded into Pipers jeep.
"That was T.a.T.u.'s manager, they are playing at the club tomorrow. They're coming at 7:30 to practice their preformance a bit."
"Aww, that's awesome! I think I'll make an appearance, I just love that song, um, "How soon is now?" from their CD. I hope they play it..."
Paige could have been talking to a brick wall for all she knew, because after she said that, Phoebe started talking about how hectic her job was lately, and Piper was back on the cell phone.
'-'-'-'
Paige had no idea how long she'd been asleep, but when she awoke, Piper and Phoebe were both gone, most likely at the club. She glanced at the clock, it was 7:45 already. She quickly hopped into the shower, and although she had intended to take a quick one, the hot water streaming down her back must have made the time pass much more quickley than is seemed, because when she got out, the clock read 10:00. T.a.T.u would start preforming now. Paige slipped on a black dress, with a V-neck that ran down to center of her chest. She wrapped a cute gold chocker around her neck and slid on some black high-healed shoes. She grabbed her black purse, then ran out the door.

When Paige arrived at P3, everyone was crowded in the parking lot outside. Piper was talking to Darryl, their detective friend. Paige ran to Phoebe.
"What-what the hell happened here?!"
Phoebe spun around to look at Paige. When Paige saw her, she noticed a large cut on the left side of Phoebes forehead.
"Uh, I dont really know. One second, that band was playing, then someone yelled "fire!", then the flames were practically surrounding us, and we just all rushed out of the club."
Paige had this look of horror and complete confusion on her face. She stared at Pheobe, and even though she had a million questions, she couldnt form them into words, and even if she could, she knew Phoebe didnt have the answers.
'-'-'-'
Piper layed, her head burried in her arms while she layed on her stomach, so angry she was almost in tears.
How could this have happened? Who would...and why...?
These thoughts were spreading like wildfire throughout the three Charmed Ones heads. But each question that popped into their head was left unanswered.
Piper had tried calling for Leo a few times tonight, but he never came. Until the early hours of the morning, she called for him, and still, he failed to come and comfort her.
Where could he be? He must sense I'm in pain. He must know Phoebe needs healing...He never fails to answer our calls...unless..No, thats not even possible, I know I've been a bit of a distraction to him lately, but they wouldnt.....they wouldnt ban him from seeing me again...would they?

Leo ran to the man and hugged him tightly, he smelled the mans hair and inhaled the scent. When Leo finally pulled away, he stared at this mans light blue eyes, and sandy blond hair. The man stared back at him, smiling widely.
"Leo, its been so long, I've missed you so much..."
This sandy-haired man said, still staring at Leo, in a smooth, yet hoarse voice.
"I know Lance, I've missed you so much also. It's just been so long.."
And with that, they took one last look at eachother, and hugged again. But this time, the hug ended short. Bursting into Leo's head came Phoebes voice, she seemed to be in a sort of panic. He whispered into Lance's ear and said he had to go, but that they'd have to meet again soon. And with that last word, he orbed out.

"Phoebe, what is is?"
Leo spat out all too quickley, as if it was such a hassel for him to have to orb all the way to the manor.
Phoebe eyed him angrily and pointed unpatiently at the blood spilling out of her forehead. Leo looked at it, then rushed to her, placed one hand hovering over her head, and with a light glow, the cut healed.
"Phoebe, what happened?"
Leo slowly asked, almost in embarassment that he had made it seem like he was far too busy to have to come and see what she wanted.
Ignoring his question, Phoebe eyed his cautiously.
"Where in hell have you been?!"
He dodged the question in every way he could think of. He wasnt quite sure why he was so nervous to tell her the truth. At her 9th time of asking where he had been, he finally decided he needed to give her some type of explination, it was only fair.
"Phoebe, I'm sorry, for the 10th time, I'll say, I'm really sorry. I was out, helping a charge. She had just gotten done battling a demon, and she needed serious healing. Then I had to go up and talk with the Elders about that fire that happened at the Club. I figured you guys would assume it was supernatural and have me go up and ask them anyway. They told me to have you guys look for scorch marks, and then get back to them. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go see how my wife is doing."
After finishing his comment, he realized how rude it was, and immediately wished he hadn't said it. He made Phoebe think he didn't care about her at all.

"Well, I was standing behind the counter, serving drinks...Phoebe was sitting at the counter, trying to call Paige because the band had already started playing...Um, the next thing I know, the club is engulfed in flames, and we were all rushing out of the club...I was trying to grab some things, so Phoebe came back, grabbed my arm, and pulled me out. But people were running ,"
As Piper explained, she paused after these last words, as if ashamed of what happened next.
"...then the crowd ended up knocking Phoebe over, she was on the floor, being trampled. I guess somewhere in there she got that cut on her head..I tried to freeze the club, but I guess my emotions got the best of me, because it didnt work. So, I got on my knees and grabbed Phoebes arm. But she was kicked away from me..I got trampled, and then, somehow, we ended up outside in the parking lot."
When she finished, Leo seemed a bit surprised, but all he did was nod, then stand up from sitting next to her on her bed. He leaned down, and kissed her lightly on her forehead. She looked up at him, a slight grin on her face, as if signaling she wanted to be with him. He shook his head slowly.
"Piper, hunnie, I gotta' go. I'll come back latey today, you need some sleep."
And before she could object, he orbed out, leaving her with a chill in her spine, a thought in her head, and a pain in her heart, all telling her something wasn't right.
