"Okay look, I'm gonna be born in about three hours," Chris said looking at his watch. Piper had been brought to the hospital by Leo a few hours before and Chris wanted to make sure to get himself back to the future before he screwed anything else up.
"Chris, who says we have to get you home before your born?" asked Phoebe flipping through The Book of Shadows.
"Yeah Phoebe but do we really want to take any chances?" asked Paige. "We need to hurry, we need to be there for Piper and...little Chris..."
"And that's why..." Chris started but didn't finish as a warlock shimmered in.
"I heard a Charmed Ones unable to come to the battle station right now so it looks like the Power of Three can't beat me..." the warlock said. An athem suddenly appeared in his hand and he was about to charge when he suddenly stopped and howled in pain and then exploded until only smoke was left and his athem fell to the floor. When the smoke cleared they saw a girl of about 12 years old standing there.
Chris went wide eyed. "Mel..." he started but immediately cut himself off. The girl had an athem exactly like it in her hand. She looked at it and it vanished and then she bent down and picked up the warlock's.
She walked over to Phoebe. "You might need this someday..." she said handing it to her. Phoebe took it ,kind of confused, but put it on the old dresser.
"Who are you...?" asked Paige.
"Ask him..." she said pointing to Chris. Chris still looked kind of scared.
"You aren't supposed to be her!" he yelled finding his voice.
"Well Chris, sorry for wanting to help you set things right!" she yelled back. "After all, YOU screwed them up and it's not like you have time to fix them, I have ten years!"
Paige noticed her for the first time. She was really pretty.
'She looks like a mix of Piper and Leo...' she thought, but quickly bypassed it.
The girl had a brown colored hair but when light shined on it, it looked sandy blonde. She also had forest green colored eyes with a little bit of brown. That was part of the reason that Paige thought she looked like Piper and Leo together, but another part was that she had Piper's eyes and nose and Leo's lips. The only thing that made her bypass it was that the girl had freckles.
"Melin..." started Chris but the girl cut him off.
"Chris, shut up!" she screamed, realizing what he was about to say.
"Both of you shut up," Phoebe yelled and then turned to the girl. "Now who are you?" she asked her.
"My name is Mel. I'm coming from the future... In fact, as you can probably tell, I know Chris." she said.
"How do you know Chris?" asked Paige.
"Wyatt listens to me..." she said. "So I was keeping him away from Chris after he returned."
"Wait I didn't stop him?!" he asked.
"I don't know Chris, this spell sent me back to a million different places before I got her!" she said.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well, I... mis wrote... the spell..." she said, kind of ashamed.
"Mel..." he said sternly.
"OK! I said for it to take me to the place he tortured through history or something, and this is like the forty-fifth place!" she said now embarrassed.
Paige held back a laugh. "Well the point is you got here, and saved us..."
"So how long are you here for?" Phoebe asked.
"She's going back with me!" Chris said looking at her.
"No... You're going back on your own, I'm doing damage control." she said looking at him angrily.
"What damage?!" he asked.
"Could you guys..." she asked Paige and Phoebe pointing towards the door.
"Oh sure..." Paige said as she and Phoebe went into the hallway.
Mel made sure they were out of ear shot and then shut the door.
"You idiot! You do realize I still had to be born!" Mel exclaimed.
"They were gonna break up anyway, you were just this one-night stand, like me, you know that..." he said.
"Chris, you're my brother, I love ya... But you are freaking insane! You were supposed to put them back together before you left, you promised me!" she said, tears forming in her eyes.
"Mel, I promised you that like a year ago and promises change!" he said.
"Yeah, well, you didn't keep it so I'm staying!" she yelled.
"Prudence Melinda Halliwell, you are my little, ten years younger then me, sister, and when Mom died and Wyatt turned I took over so you listen to me..." he started but she cut him off.
"Not this time Chris, besides, I swear, you know Aunt Paige won't mind, I mean, I'm in her class at Magic School, and she can sort of watch over me, and teach me from her, and I swear, I won't give my identity away, and if I do I'll do a memory spell, I'm not bad at those..." she pleaded.
"Mel..." he started.
"No Chris... You have to get out of her so just take this spell," she reached in her back pocket and pulled out a piece of paper. "Just take it and go back..." she begged.
Chris gave in. "Promise me you won't get hurt, and that you'll be back in a year, if only to check up with me..."
"I promise," she said hugging him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!"
"Yeah, now where'd you get this?" he asked holding up the paper. "I took it back."
"I can write a spell when I try," she said but when she noticed his scared look she added. "And Aunt Phoebe can too!" she was much better at making potions, like Piper, and using her active powers, but she wasn't as bad as Chris thought, she'd improved over the year.
Chris smiled. "Paige, Phoebe..." he yelled for them to come in the room.
They opened the door and walked in.
"Mel will be staying with you over the next year if you don't mind..." Chris said.
"What about school?" Paige asked.
"Magic School, you're my teacher..." she said.
Paige looked pleased with herself. "Anyway..." Chris continued. "She brought me a spell so I'm going back now, tell Mom I love her... and Dad to..." Chris added with a smile and then he worked to get the spell ready and left by hugging Phoebe, Paige, and Mel.
"Mom... and Dad?" Mel whispered as she hugged Chris. She was two when her mother died and almost never saw her father.
"Yeah Mom and Dad." he said letting go, waving good-bye, and walking into the portal.
"Chris, who says we have to get you home before your born?" asked Phoebe flipping through The Book of Shadows.
"Yeah Phoebe but do we really want to take any chances?" asked Paige. "We need to hurry, we need to be there for Piper and...little Chris..."
