Carrie What if

By: FunahoMisaki

(A/N: I own nothing and what if five years after the Chamberlain Massacre Rita Desjardin found a way to return to that fateful Black Prom night and change everything? Saving everyone, especially Carrie? Her future memories, abilities, and body are sent back in time to replace the Rita that was there. AU OOC femslash and bashing of course!)

"I hope this works." Rita Desjardin said as she looked at the spell book she had found by chance when going through some of her grandmothers old things. She had changed in the five years since the occurrence of Black Prom. She had quit teaching, not able to stand it anymore, and had become much more different than anyone thought she'd be.

Her hair was now slightly longer and usually hung freely to her waist, unless she was doing something important in which she had it pulled back into a bun. She had grown a good three or four inches and her skin had tanned slightly from all her time out in the sun. What had changed the most were her eyes and her muscles. Her eyes…where as they had been bright green with hope and light during the start of her teaching career, they were now cold and haunted with a dark look in them.

The only time they had any life in them at all was the few times she would go and visit Sue Snell and her four year old daughter Carrie Rita Snell-Ross. She had been extremely touched to have the childs middle name be her first one, on purpose, and if anyone said anything about the girls first name around her she broke their jaws simple as that.

She was also much stronger and faster than she used to be, her body was packed with lean but firm muscles. Just because she was no longer a PE Teacher didn't mean she let herself go in fact…she worked out even more and much harder than she used to, especially when she found the spell book last year after discovering her powers.

Turns out the females on her mothers side of the family had a penchant for having some powers, although it skipped her mothers generation and showed up late in her according to her grandmothers journals. From what she had found her great-grandmother had discovered her powers first, she had been a telekinetic ('Just like Carrie was.' Rita thought in surprise when she had first learned that.) and telepath since the two powers went hand in hand, her great-grandmother had pyro kinesis and electro kinesis, and her grandmother had precognition and empathy. Rita though had a mixture of powers.

Whereas her ancestors only had two powers each and were masters in them…Rita had at least six powers already and had yet to master any of them while more could show themselves at any given moment. She was the jack of all trades, master of none.

Right now the former gym teacher had on a dress that was a perfect replica of the one she wore during Black Prom and her hair was pulled up the same way, according to the spell she would be sent back to the time she chose specifically. And she was choosing the moment before the pigs blood was dumped onto poor Carrie, that way she'd be able to save Carrie from snapping and still pin the blame onto Chris and Billy who were likely to be arrested if she had any say in it. Which, she mentally reminded herself with a cruel grin, she did.

It had taken her two years to understand why Carrie's death had affected her so badly…and it took her another two years to accept the reason when she finally learned it. She briefly wondered how Carrie would react when she realized that- Rita roughly shook her head, shaking a few hairs loose from the bun they were in. Now was not the time to think about that. She mentally ran through her checklist.

Appearance identical to that of the one she had during Black Prom? Check. Roughly drafted plan of keeping the blood from hitting Carrie? Check. Spell memorized? Check. Sue and little Carrie told about her plan? Check. Powers under control…for now? Check. All needed equipment in the subspace pocket one of her powers let her control? Check.

Okay. She was ready to rock and roll back into the past…Rita snorted as she realized her thought. It sounded like a pop song or something. Rita took one last look around her house before she sighed and closed her eyes, clapping her hands together as she channeled her energy.

"επιστροφή στο παρελθόν, τώρα." Rita said, the foreign language easily slipping off of her tongue and sounding beautiful as her energy reacted to the spell, activating it. For Rita Desjardin time froze as she was sent back in time, her body, mind, soul, and every last inch of her replacing the Rita that had been at the Black Prom the moment before Carrie was named Prom Queen.

When Rita next opened her eyes was when she heard applause and looked up, her breath being taken away as she once again saw Carrie White standing on the stage alive and unbloodied in the beautiful pink dress she had made herself. Carrie was looking up at something above her curiously and Rita looked up as well, although she already knew what it was. Rita caught sight of Chris about to pull the rope to dump the blood onto poor Carrie and her body flew into action before her mind registered what she was doing.

"CARRIE! ABOVE YOU!" Rita heard herself scream, nearly giving those closest to her a heart attack as she tore off through the crowd and made it onto the stage in record time. She didn't expect or appreciate Chris immediately yanking the rope at her scream, the blood falling just as Rita knocked Carrie out of its path. Everything and everyone froze as they saw the sight on the stage.

Rita Desjardin was standing there covered head to toe in the blood of a pig…and boy was she pissed.
