Chapter 3

"Well that was definitely…" Paige began.

"Cute," Phoebe interrupted, earning a glare from Paige which she ignored, "Who knew our neurotic little nephew would have a girl as a best friend," her eyes bright.

"I'm confused." Piper said, running a hand through her dark brown hair, eyebrows coming together in a frown.

"What about?" Leo asked, looking down at her, frowning.

"Weren't we supposed to see the boy's futures? Them as adults and all," she said.

"Well," Leo said thoughtfully, scratching his head, "that particular spell allows a person to see the important moments in a person's future so I guess this was an important moment for one of the boys."

"So we're going to see all of it?" Paige asked, as Piper's eyes widened with the knowledge.

"Yes, but we are going to have to make sure to not to spill any of this knowledge to the boys or it could mess up the future again." Leo said.

"Oh this is so cool," Phoebe laughed, clapping her hands in excitement.

"Wait, it's starting up again," Paige said, making them all turn and stare in anticipation at the screen.

A tiny young girl about twenty-three stood outside the manor in the pouring rain, wearing a soaked hoodie and jeans and carrying a worn duffel bag. She knocked urgently on the door and waited, shifting from leg to leg trying to get out of the rain.

The door opened and a twenty-three year old Wyatt with short curls, wearing worn jeans and a plain black t-shirt appeared.

"Hey, can I help you?" he asked, looking at the small girl standing in front of him.

"Hey, Wyatt, damn you've gotten tall. Is Chris in?" she asked, tucking a strand of wet hair out of her eyes as she smiled as at a now confused looking Wyatt.

"Um…yeah. I'll just get him." Wyatt said a confused look on his face. Why the hell a strange girl - correction a strange HOT girl- be asking for Chris. And why did she look so damn familiar.

"Chris! There's a girl to see you." He called into the house and was answered with a distracted, "One sec."

Wyatt turned back to see the girl laughing. "What?" he asked.

"You don't remember me, do you?" she asked, stepping into the house of the rain, and pulling her hoody off to reveal a small, oval shaped face surrounded by long curly black hair and a pair of wide, beautiful and very familiar grey eyes.

"I…uh…" Wyatt began when he heard Chris shout behind him, "Aria!"

The girl smiled widely and dropped the bag she was carrying on her back, running towards Chris and jumping into his arms, laughing.

Wyatt's mouth fell open in disbelief as he stared at the girl his little brother's best friend had become.

"Hey Chris! Miss me?" she said, as she wrapped her legs around his waist in a bear hug.

"What do you think?" he said, hugging her tightly and kissing her head.

Wyatt watched on, and felt something he had never felt towards his little brother before- a sharp twist in his stomach that he slowly identified as jealousy.

"Well that settles it, this is definitely Wyatt's future," Phoebe said, with complete certainty.

"And how do you figure that?" Paige asked, her eyes shifting towards the screen still, even though it had gone black.

"Well, Wyatt obviously is attracted to this Aria, which probably means they'll get together. If she was in both memories than she is probably important."

"You don't know that," they argued, as Piper and Leo watched, Piper growing very annoyed.

After five minutes of their bickering she whistled loudly, causing them both to wince.

"Argh, enough with the whistling," Paige groaned, rubbing her ear.

"I wouldn't have to if you two would stop," Piper told them, and then turned to Leo.

"What do you think?"

"I don't know yet," he said, glancing at the screen as it slowly came back to life, "but it looks like we are about to find out."

"So, I thought you were going off to learn more about your powers. What happened to that?" Chris asked Aria as they sat at the kitchen table, drinking a cup of tea.

Aria shrugged, while rubbing her hair with a towel and trying to ignore the fact that Wyatt was listening to her every word. "I learnt enough. I can control it now, which is all I want."

"Yeah, telekinesis can be a real bitch. I know all about that," Chris said, groaning dramatically, making her laugh.

"Wait, she's a witch?" Phoebe asked, but was Ssh'ed but the everyone else.

"So what are we doing tonight?" Aria asked Chris, glancing over as Wyatt walked into the kitchen, still staring at her. She thought it was a bit ironic that now he was the one staring at her, when she used to be the love sick puppy.

Chris shifted awkwardly and then said, "Um…well I didn't know you were coming and…well…Bianca and I already…kind of made plans."

"Oh…" Aria said in disappointment and then shrugged, "well never mind, it's not like we don't have heaps of time to catch up. I'm moving back."

"You are?" Wyatt interrupted from where he leant against the counter, his expression almost hopeful.

"Yes I am. So I'll just hang around here tonight. I mean...if that's okay with Wyatt." She said, turning and looking at him for an answer.

He smiled at her, and she sucked in her breath. His smile was still breathtaking. "Of course you can. No problem."

Chris still looked awkward. "You could always come along if you wanted to…I mean, I can't just leave you here…"

Aria was already shaking her head. "Thanks, but I prefer not to be the third wheel and honestly watching Bianca and you make out is kind of disgusting. And I'm tired anyways from the trip, so I'll probably just crash in your room in about…" she glanced at her watch, "…oh, 30 minutes."

Chris nodded, smiling, "Okay…well," he looked at the clock, "I better get ready. See you tomorrow morning."

He left, leaving Wyatt and Aria alone in an awkward silence.
