Cole and Phoebe's Place, Monday, December 3

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe was trying to study... she really was. But everytime she tried to, her focus wavered to a bittersweet memory from the high school and the island.

She had shed tears earlier, but she was careful no one in her classes saw here -- especially Charlene. She wouldn't be able to explain what had her feeling so mopey.

So, she was staring at her computer screen, trying to make her report for demonology make sense.

Funny how Anders was having the same kind of focus issues today, and for the exact same reason. Funny how he was the same kind of mopey, too.

He'd slipped out to Phoebe's favorite spot at Selkie Cove, and once he'd gotten comfortable he pulled out his phone and dialed her number.

Phoebe was distracted, so she didn't even look at the Caller ID as she picked up the phone. "Halliwell."

"My favorite Halliwell," Anders answered. "Hey . . . it's me."

He had a feeling she would know why he was calling.

[sensethevisions]

And there went all pretenses right out the window.

"Hey, you."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

That got a slight smile out of him. "Hey, baby," Anders said. "So . . . it's that day. Couldn't let it pass without some kind of . . . well, celebration's not the right word."

[sensethevisions]

"You've been thinking about her, too." It wasn't a question.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"All day," Anders confirmed quietly. "I know in another world she's . . . we get to see her for the first time today, but I wish this version of us could see it too, you know?"

[sensethevisions]

"In some ways, yes... but the cost of that..." She swallowed. "I wish it hadn't been that way. Didn't have to be an either or..."

"I know," Anders replied, really wishing he could hug her right now. "I wouldn't give him up for anything, but I wish we could have her too."

Eve was trying to plod through her homework and had quickly given it up as a bad job for the time being. And so she grabbed her cell phone and called Phoebe.

[sensethevisions]

"Halliwell."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"You know your last name! Go you!" Yes, Eve was being weird. No real surprise.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe laughed. "See what a college education can do for you?"

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"No kidding," Eve agreed, laughing. "I'm bored. Entertain me?"

[sensethevisions]

Considering Phoebe had just come off of a crying jag, she wasn't sure how entertaining she could be.

"Threatened your daughter's boyfriend lately?"

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Now that you mention it, no. I really gotta get on that." Except not really. Johnny was pretty okay in Eve's books now, after the plague incident. Which didn't mean she couldn't give him a little shit now and then.

[sensethevisions]

"How are you feeling, Eve? I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you guys."

Yes, Phoebe knew all about the plague.

"Hey, sweetheart," Cole said, coming up behind her and planting a kiss on the side of her neck. "What're you working on?"

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe smiled and leaned into him. "Report for demonology. Not going so well."

[demonbelthazor]

Cole frowned. "You're upset about something," he said.

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe gave him a sad smile. "Not upset really, just wish that there are some things Fandom High never showed us." She loked at him. "Do you ever think of the kids Fandom gave us and then took away?"

[demonbelthazor]

"Yeah, sometimes," Cole said. "Sometimes I look at Prue and wonder what the hell magic was powerful enough to . . . you know."

[sensethevisions]

"I try not to think about that," she admitted. "But Benjamin, Samantha... Pandora..."

[demonbelthazor]

He moved around in front of her chair and crouched down, holding her hands. "You miss them," he said.

[sensethevisions]

"I know it's stupid because they were only mine for a few days... but..." She blinked and nodded. "I miss them."
