"How did I get in the manor?" asked the boy mostly to himself, trying to piece together what had happened.
He looked at the women in front of him and a wave of recognition flooded over him. The dark hair and brown eyes he had seen her before only in premonitions he had but never in person. Shocked and overcome with emotions he stood there speechless. Until her voice pulled him out of his thoughts.

"Who are you?" asked Phoebe wondering why this boy had shown up. She asked to hear her hearts desire and he comes. What did he know about my heart? She thought to herself.

" uhh Ben, my name is Ben" he said nervous starting to understand what has happened. I'm in the past he thought I have to be it's the only explanation.
Just as he answered Prue and Piper came up the stairs to the attic.

"Phoebe is everything ok? We heard an explosion and . . ." Prue stopped mid sentence when she saw Ben standing in the attic with her little sister.
"Who is this" asked Prue motioning to Ben.

"Uhh this is Ben. I cast the spell and he showed up. I think it backfired. I knew personal gain would get in the way" said a frustrated Phoebe.
"What exactly did you say in the spell" asked Piper " maybe you didn't word it well"

"I did exactly what you said. I asked my heart for the answer" said Phoebe
" then how do you know he doesn't know the answer?" said Prue. She turned to Ben "who exactly are you? You have to know phoebe somehow for the spell to work"

"I do, well I don't uhh it's kind of complicated" said Ben not wanting to reveal too much about the future.
"maybe you can answer her question you have to know something this spell is worded fine." said piper looking at the spell her sister just read.

" uhh ok what was your question" asked Ben knowing the only way for him to be sent back to the future was to help.
" I asked my heart if I should stay with my boyfriend Cole and I guess you know what my heart wants" said Phoebe hoping she could finally get the answers she wanted.
