Room 518/520, Monday morning

[demonbelthazor]

Bel woke up in his own body. For a moment he was confused, then elated. Being a girl had been weird.

Then he realized he had the memories of what "Phoebe" had done all weekend. Which shouldn't be possible. But he remembered the conversations he'd had with everyone over the course of the weekend as if he'd had them himself: Dawn, Bridge, "Hamlet", Pippi, "Briar", "Nadia", Anders, Bridge (again), "Joxer", and (*wince*) Callisto.

He facepalmed. Stupid Fandom weirdness. First Blair, then Phoebe. Who was he going to think he was next?

"We promised each other, no more secrets. Wait... that's why she cast the truth spell?"

Phoebe was getting a little upset with her big sister right about now.

[demonbelthazor]

"She was trying to protect you," Cole said. "She wanted to know what I was hiding that was hurting you so much." He winced, not wanting to cause problems between the sisters.

[sensethevisions]

"And protecting me from the truth worked out so well last time," she pointed out gently. She blinked back tears. "She promised. And when I was a mer-- " The conversation she had had with Piper that first day of the spell was coming back in bits and pieces.

[demonbelthazor]

"She knew I had to be the one to tell you," Cole said. "You either wouldn't believe her or would just get angry."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe sighed, still looking down at the bed because she didn't want to show him she was trying not to cry.

"After the last time, she promised no more secrets, Cole and I made the same promise to her." She picked at the blanket. "She and I are going to need to talk."

[demonbelthazor]

"Don't be too mad," Cole pleaded. "I begged her not to tell you."

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe looked at him. "And she promised me no more secrets." She sighed and bit her lip.

"It's not anger."

[demonbelthazor]

"I'm sorry, sweetheart," Cole said. "I didn't mean to cause problems between you."

[sensethevisions]

"You didn't, love." She reached for him. "You didn't."

[demonbelthazor]

He kissed her gently. "Why do you put up with me?"

[sensethevisions]

"You make it sound like a chore, and you're not. I love you. You're part of me."

[demonbelthazor]

"You're the best part of me," he said.

[sensethevisions]

"I feel that way about you, too."

[demonbelthazor]

"I suppose I should get up and shower and get dressed, unless I go to Baking naked," Cole teased.

[sensethevisions]

"No one sees you naked but me," she mock-growled. "MY demon."

[demonbelthazor]

"My witch," he growled in return.

[sensethevisions]

She laughed. "I love you so much."

[demonbelthazor]

"I love you, too, sweetheart," he said, holding her close.

[sensethevisions]

She curled up against him, wrapping her arms around him. He was no closer to getting dressed, but right now she was fine with that.
