CHAPTER I: GHOSTS FROM THE FUTURE.
-"Where are we?? At P3? What is Chris doing at P3?" Asked an attractive blond hair, gray eyes, 16 year old girl.
-"How would I know?" Replied her sexy red headed, blue eye twin.
-"I thought Chris tells you EVERYTHING" the blond one mocked her.
-"He does tell me a lot of things. But you know he doesn't talk about his past life time or his trip to the past."
-"Well, but you know he was about to quit after Bianca died"
-"Well, I kind of over heard a conversation with Piper"
-"ear dropping YOU??"
-"Ohh.. like you don't ear drop.. give me a break! Are we even alive in Chris' past life time? For what I heard it was pretty awful, and everybody seemed dead"
-"I don't know, hon. You are his "little girl" not me" Said the blond sticking her tongue at her sister.
The third girl, a pretty brunette with brown eyes, had stayed quiet all that time. Probably already used to her cousin's fights. Spoke.
-"Ok girls, can you stop fighting. And no.. Wyatt told me that you guys actually died very little and that I was the last one to die, at 16, right before Chris left for the past. So we are all dead in his mind"
-"See being Wyatt's favorite is a lot better than being Chris'.. at least he tells her everything. And apparently" she put a tragic mock in her face "He lets you live a looot longer, in his tyranny!"
Still, that revelation kind of unsettle the twins that didn't say much more.
-"CHRIS?" The brunette started calling. "Chris"
Chris came out of the little office on P3 he called home, rubbing his eyes, sleepy. He didn't sleep much in the past few days, after the death of his fiancé. And he was very tired. Of everything. He didn't see the point of keep on going. On keep on fighting, on keep on hiding his past and lying to his parents and aunts. He just wanted to sleep and never wake up. But, every time he felt asleep, the nightmares where more than he could stand.
-"Uh? Who is this? Phoebe is it you? I told you. I am fine. I just need to rest a little. And NO I don't want to go anywhere."
-"Chris is that you?"
He heard a voice that sounded like Phoebe's, but wasn't exactly Phoebe's, but still sounded too familiar.
-"Who is that?"
And suddenly the three girls were in front of him.
-"Hey Chris" Said the red headed with a huge smile.
-"Prue? What are you doing here? I thought you..." His voice broke"I wouldn't have leave you, if I knew.. but, I knew you were.. I am going insane.. I know it! And who are they?"
-"Hey, Hey sweetie" Said the dark hair girl "You are not going insane. I am here now"
Chris run to her, hugging her, as if his life depended on it.
-"WHAT?? WE COME ALL THE WAY FROM THE FUTURE, AND SHE IS THE ONLY ONE THAT GETS A HUG??" Said the red headed half joking, half jealous.
-"That's what I say!" Said the blond smiling.
"Sorry, but, who are you?" Chris looked at them. They did look familiar, but not quite.
"He doesn't even recognize us?" Smirked the red headed.
"I told you, you guys died when you were little!" Said Prue (A.K.A Dark hair girl)
At that moment Chris knew why he couldn't quite place them. The faces where the same, only older. The beautiful red headed girl in front of him, looked exactly like his adorable and vivacious seven girl old cousin, Patty. His adored child, the one Wyatt killed first, since it was Chris' favorite. And the blond one looked like his chatty, lively 12 year old Penny, whose neck was broken by Wyatt, just to prove to him, he didn't need magic to kill powerful beings.
But those girls were dead... yet, he didn't care, they were there. And he hadn't seen them in years. And he loved them. And he missed them terribly.
He grabbed them firmly, hugging them together, kissing their hairs, crying, out of overwhelming emotion.
-"I am soo glad you are here. You couldn't have come in a better time. If there was one time in my life I needed someone, this is the time!"
-"Considering it is you, and you never need anyone. I can say I am shocked! I've never thought I'd hear the words "I need someone" from Chris' mouth.. Did you Prue? " Said Penny
-"We know" Said Patty empathically.
-"How did you know?" he said surprised "What are you?? Ghosts? What are you doing here?"
-"Hmmm" said Patty and looked at her sister.
-"That is MY cue? You answer his questions with Hmm?" Said Penny
-"Well... you are the chatty in the family"
-"Well, you are the one that has a platonic crush on your super hero over there"
-"God.. the last time I heard you girls together, you were like seven! And one would think you would improve, but it looks like it got worst" He said laughing "Ok, Patty, you go"
-"Ok, but promise not to get mad?"
-"Ahh.. No.. I am not promising that.. actually, I am starting to worry right now!"
-"Well.. see, we overheard you the other day, talking to Piper and telling her how upset you were in the past after Bianca died, and how you were about to quit everything, so.. since you did so much.. we thought.. we should.. it probably would be a good idea.."
-"To come to the past and cheer me up?" Chris interrupted her, finishing her sentence, because she seemed like she could keep on delaying the thing forever "And how did you come up with such a NON brilliant idea? You guys have to go back now... but wait.. if you guys are here. That means that I already saved Wyatt? Cuz you guys are evidently not... dead"
-"No, but you will save Wyatt. That is why we are here for. To tell you not to give up, because you save Wyatt at the end. And we are all alive and happy thanks to that"
-"Really?" Chris smiled
-"NO DORK, we are hallucinations.. what do you think?" Snapped Penny
-"That if you were an hallucination... you would be nicer to me" He barked at her.
-"Well, that solves the problem.. then we are not hallucinations. Cuz I can bitch at you forever coz. I always could"
Chris laughed. He was so happy to see them, and alive. And to know that the future was solved and that everything was fine.
-"Cool.. so its real. So who do I save Wyatt?"
-"Dude, you ask that? You know it.. we can't tell you that. Future consequences!" Patty raised her eyebrows.
Chris now knew, how his parents and aunts feel like.
-"So... the future is a happy place?"
-"Yes, very happy thanks to you" Said Prue sweetly, smiling at her cousin. How did this shy, sweet and silent girl came out of Phoebe's talkative belly? He could never understood. But then, physically she took after her mom, but her personality resembled her father's. And then, it made sense that talkative Phoebe would marry someone that would let her do all the talking and just listen.
-"And you guys are all alive and well?"
-"Well.. we are obviously alive! Well? After surviving a neurotic, sarcastic, super witch wanna be, freak like you, and an overprotective, super custodial, I am killing you with my affection coz like Wy. I don't know if... WELL.. would be the term I'd use" articulate Penny.
-"So Wy is good?"
-"Well.. I will consider that, when he doesn't make a scene on Friday when I wear my new mini skirt to the party"
-"Penny!" Chris shouted getting exasperated by her nonsense babbling .
-"Yeah, Chris. Wy is good. Very good, and you are a marvelous cousin, too. And all of us, love you both very much, right?" Patty looked at the girls. They nod in approval, considering they already tortured his cousin enough.
-"So.. Ok.. you came just all the way to the past, just to CHEER ME UP?"
The three of them smiled innocently.
-"What were you guys thinking?"
-"That you were sad and you needed some comforting?" Patty manage her best sweet innocent face.
-"And that merited a trip to the past?" Chris eyes wide in disbelief.
-"Well.. we love you, and we didn't want you to feel lonely and sad. And we knew how hard was everything for you in here, and that you were about to give up. So we came to tell you not to." Said Patty with puppy eyes.
-"Actually, she decided all that and then dragged us along.. you can imagine" Penny rolling her eyes to her sister.
-"Well, thank you. I appreciate your effort. A very DUMB idea, but very thoughtful none the less. I must admit, I feel a lot better right now... knowing that everything is better in the future. Now.. you can go back" He kissed each one of them "I'll see you guys in 24 years"
They stood there looking at him. He stood there, looking at them. After a while
-"Well?" Said Chris "what are you waiting for?"
-"Hmm" Said Patty as the three of them blushed "We kind of don't know how to go back"
-"WHAT??? You came all the way here without a way to come back?"
-"Well, we thought you knew how to"
-"NO! I don't. You guys don't know how did I get back to the future the last time?"
-"Hmm... that is not going to work for us... I hope!"
-"Why?"
-"Future consequences"
-"CRAP. We have to get you guys back. I can't believe you.. how could you this? Patricia Halliwell.. I am soo disappointed on you!"
-"Oh come on.. I died when I was, what?? in your world. And you are already disappointed on me and not in the rest"
-"The price of being his favorite, my dear" Laughed Penny
-"Ok.. we'll have to go to the manor and ask them for help. You guys can't say anything" Everybody looked at Penny.
-"What? I can spend five minutes without talking" Said Penny. Patty and Prue raised her eyebrows in disbelief.
-"Ok. I will tell them that you are my cousin's from the future. There is no way they can guess they are your mothers!"
-"But, don't they know that you are his son? Usually, one's son cousins are the daughters of one sisters. I don't think Leo has any relatives. So they won't buy that"
-"They don't know I am his son. They can't know. That would mess up the whole future"
-"But I thought..." Started Penny and Patty shut her up elbowing her stomach.
-"Ok, lets go home" Said Prue.
As they were about to orb (or Shimmer in Prue's case) out of P3 Chris asked eagerly
-"So is Bianca alive in the future?"
-"Still can't tell you that, coz" Said Patty.
-"Damn future consequences!?!?"
Patty smiled weakly at him. No... actually, because she didn't have the heart to tell her favorite cousin, that in his other life, his fiancé also died the same day.
