CHAPTER ONE: Two confused visitors
2020
"For beloved God, Wy! Leave me alone!" Chris frowned. He was doing his homework. Or at least he tried since Wyatt was trying to convince him to join a hunt. Wyatt smiled as he saw that Chris was finally giving up.
"I'll leave you alone after the hunt. Come on, you know it's not fun without you!" Wyatt said.
"Oh, I'm very touched", Chris said sarcastically. "You know Mom's gonna kill us."
"Who said she has to know?" Wyatt asked. Chris sighed.
"Fine. But if I die, I swear I'm gonna kill you!"
"No you won't, cuz if you do, Mom's definitely gonna kill you."
"She can't, I'm already dead at that point remember. But maybe I can come back as a full whitelighter…" Chris said.
"So after killing me you think that elders are gonna make you a whitelighter. In your dreams!" Wyatt laughed.
"No, I'm already a whitelighter when I kill you. Then I'll just do a Paige's dad did and run away."
"And you think Dad's not gonna find you?"
"Do you want me to join you?" Chris asked. Wyatt nodded. "Okay, so stop the stupid questions. The point is, if I die, I'll kill you. Got that? Good, let's go. We have to back by dinner, anyway."
Chris orbed away with pale blue lights. Wyatt shook his head smiling and orbed after him.

Chris and Wyatt reappeared in the middle of the attic. "Uh… Weren't we going to the Underworld?" Wyatt asked.
"Yeah..." Chris answered, looking around. "So why did we end up in the attic?"
Wyatt shrugged. He also looked around the room. It looked like it use to but there was something different about it. It wasn't anything you could catch with eyes but a feeling or maybe a smell… Something…
"Maybe it's a trap", Wyatt said.
"No, I don't think so…" Chris mumbled, more to himself than Wyatt. He looked outside the window just to see if anything was different. "Wy? Didn't that house burn in a fire last year?"
Wyatt looked out at the house that Chris was pointing at. "It did", he said. Then a horrible thought made its way to his mind. "Oh no… We're so screwed…"
"And so dead…"
"And you're so grounded!" Wyatt said, hiding a smile with big difficulty.
"What! Why aren't you!"
"Cuz I'm eighteen, you stupid! And I'm in college!"
"You're not twenty-one!" Chris pointed out. "And do you really think that Mom's gonna care even if youare in college? She almost ground you when you said you wanted to go to Columbia and move to New York!"
"But I did, grounded or not. And hey, if we get out of here soon, maybe she won't even notice that we left."
Chris shook his head, but then he saw something that made air stuck into his lungs. His eyes widened as he looked at the attic door.
"What?" Wyatt asked, noticing this sudden change in his littlebrother's eyes. He turned around only to see Piper and Leo standing in the door way. They looked at the visitors their mouths open and they seemed to be glued to the spot that they were standing.
"Do they recognize us?" Chris whispered.
"Yeah…" Wyatt said. "Yeah, I think they do…"
2020
"Wyatt, Chris, Leo! Dinner!" Piper yelled. A special dinner, actually. Since Wyatt had moved to the campus, they only had a family dinner like once in every month. Not that Wyatt didn't orb home everyday but he always left before dinner time because of the time difference. But now he was home for al full week so the Halliwell-Wyatt family could enjoy a total of seven family dinners.
Leo orbed to the kitchen almost right away. "Oh my Gosh, Piper!" he said when he saw the table. "You've worked you ass off!"
"Well, what's the point of being a chef if you can't cook at least at home. Besides, it's nice to have both of the boys at the dinner table."
Leo smiled and pulled Piper into a hug. "It is. And the dinner table wouldn't be the same without you."
Piper kissed Leo on the lips with a smile. "Yeah…? Well, it's gonna be an empty dinner table if the boys don't come down soon. Wyatt, Chris? Since when have you been late for dinner?"
No answer, no sign of orbing, nothing. "Wyatt? Chris? Where are you?" Piper yelled, a little scared this time. Leo closed his eyes as he tried to sense his sons. "Anything?" Piper asked when he opened his eyes.
"No. I can't sense them at all. Could they be in the Underworld? You know how much they enjoy hunting", he said, hoping that the boys had just lost the track of time.
"No, they know I hate it when they are late for anything when they go there. I hate it when they go there at all. Oh my God, you don't think they are…?"
"NO!" Leo said loudly. "We'd know if they were. They are fine… trust me." Leo pulled Piper into a hug again and kissed the top of her head. "We just have to find them…"
