It was fifty years before she saw her soul mate again after the day she buried her, barely able to see her grave for rain and tears. Fifty years wherein she tried her best to stay married to a man whom she could never love not because he was a bad man or there was anything wrong with him, anything other than the fact that he wasn't her. It was fifty years of sometimes trying to forget, never being able to, and never really wanting to. Fifty years of building a new family and yet never having the void in her heart and soul filled. Fifty years of fighting evil, winning triumphs for the good side, and aching all along to die so she could finally join her.
Then, one night in the cold loneliness of her own bed, Piper was finally rewarded with passing from the living into the afterlife. She found Prue waiting for her there, surrounded by a bright, white light. She made no hesitation but flew straight through the light and into her beloved's waiting arms. "I never stopped loving you!" she cried.
"I know, baby," Prue said, stroking her long hair and shaking back. Joyful tears poured down their beautiful faces that day like rain, tears of joy that slipped into their happy, passionate kisses to mark the occasion that'd finally given them what they'd really wanted all along. Now, at last, they were together and free to love each other as they chose forever.
The End
