Ann finally managed to get on her feet and leave her room only to find Leo helping Piper on her feet in the hallway
"Everything alright?" he asked gently as Piper nodded
Suddenly a loud crash was heard coming from upstairs
XXXXX
"Are we back?" asked Bianca as they looked around the attic searching for familiar signs
"Sure hope so", answered Melinda
They heard footsteps coming up the stairs as Leo, Piper and Ann burst in. Leo an elder looked young as always hence forth there was no possible way of knowing if any time had past by his appearance, Piper on the other hand looked older some gray hairs but she definitely didn't look like a woman in her fifties more like her mid forties however that was a state they got accustomed to due to the many healings over the years and the charmed magic delaying her natural aging process by a couple of years, the only clear indicator was Ann; Wyatt's wife
"What happened?" asked immediately Piper as Chris, Bianca and Mel looked at Wyatt waiting for him to open the box
"You'll know in a couple of seconds" said Wyatt and opened the box
Several green glowing marble sized spheres flew out of the box most of them vanishing through the window only two lingered, for a couple of seconds and flew into Piper and Leo.
"What was that?" asked Ann as Wyatt hugged her
The couple looked dazed for several minutes then their heads suddenly jerked up as they looked at their children. Piper immediately grabbed Chris and Mel into a hug as Leo grabbed Wyatt
"Thank God you alright" said Piper "I mean you are alright are?" she asked as she took a better look at her kids
"Yes we are fine mum"
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? JUMPING INTO A PORTAL LIKE THAT YOU COULD HAVE ENDED UP GOD KNOWS WHERE…" Piper yelled suddenly as everybody winced she was cut of in mid rant as the phone rang Leo made his way over to the phone and picked it up
"Hello?" he asked wondering who could call at this hour
His wonder was answered as he heard Phoebe's shrieking voice coming from the other side claming that they forgot her nephews and nice/ sons and daughter in the past and that they could be who knows were by now
The circus only flared up as a cloud of orbs materialized forming into Paige warring only a bathrobe, dripping wet
"OH MY GOD PIPER? I've just remembered…" but was cut of by a loud whistle coming from Ann
"WHAT is going on?" she asked loudly as everybody looked her

"…and then you guys jumped back into the portal and ended back here?" asked Ann while waiting for confirmation
"Yup that pretty much sums it up", said Wyatt while sitting next to her his arms wrapped around her
"Freaky I mean freaky even by your standards" replied Ann
It was now 5 a.m. , They had spent the last two hours explaining everything to Ann and checking the memory of Piper and Leo, while Wyatt, Chris, Bianca and Mel's trip lasted several days they actually came back mere seconds after they left thus in their time no time had actually passed. Paige had orbed home to get some sleep after assuring herself that everyone was okay, Phoebe on the other hand refused to put the phone down until she spoke with every family member that time traveled including Bianca
"And what was that green light stuff?"
"Memories that were stored in hopes of keeping the timeline intact" explained Leo
"While we are at that subject do you think the elders remember too?" asked Melinda
"Probably your aunts remember don't they?" Answered Piper "Which means that I don't have to explain myself for blasting Odin to shreds" she added
"Mom before you go Rambo at the elders we still have work to do" said Mel
"What I thought we vanquished Rita and Gideon"
"Yeah but we still don't know what this thing is" and with that she presented the small vial that she had found in Rita's leftovers

Three months later
Wyatt was at his job the San Francisco Police Department today they were expecting a new Chief of Police a man who has supposedly made his name in New York but started out here in San Francisco. Although Wyatt had been promoted to Detective six months ago he was still considered a rookie and to some even a slacker. The truth however was much different while some of colleagues thought his disappearing acts to be pitiful excuses others thought him to be a joke none however could dispute that he had effectively solved cases on which other more experienced officers had desperately failed neither of them knew either that almost all of his cases were magic related much to Wyatt's dismay. With the new chief however he had a clean slate.
The door to the room in which all of the higher or anything ranking officers were waiting flew open the new chief entered
He looked somewhere around his mid fifties maybe a little older, of afro-american decent and with incredibly dark eyes
"Good morning, men my name is Darryl Morris and I'm your new Chief of Police"

The magic School
Paige was sitting in her chair and relaxing to say that the day had been tiring was and understatement of the year: there was a recent teacher shortage in the magical community so she herself was stuck covering three classes, the reconstruction of the vial that Melinda had recovered failed once again and to top it all they spend the whole afternoon trying to capture a tyrannosaurus rex that a student had summoned by accident and to think that she complained when a student had accidentally summoned Lady Godiva she at least didn't try to bite there heads of
Suddenly she heard the sound of orbing and as she opened her eyes she saw her nephew Chris
"Hey aunty Paige" he greeted her enthusiastically, she raised her eyebrow
"What?" he asked innocently
"The last time you called me 'Aunty Paige' you accidentally burned grandma Patty's favorite carpet and wanted to know a spell to cover it up" she replied with a smirk
"Well you caught me… I kinda need a favor" he replied as he sat down in front of her desk
"Okay mister, spill it!"
"Well I was kinda… hoping you had… a post free for me" he answered hesitantly
Give Chris a job? Thought Paige he was asking her for a job wasn't he? This was great this meant that he could take her classes and that she could have some free time to spend with her own children God knows that Hunter was getting more then a handful recently and that Kyle was also stuck at work most of the time. Chris of course was a powerful witch-lighter in his own right but suddenly a thought crossed Paige mind although she didn't have any doubt that Chris would be a great teacher he on his part had never shown any great interest until today
"Where's the catch?" she asked suddenly ripping Chris from his thoughts
"Huh?" he asked, "No catch aunt Paige I've just thought that I need a better job and a change of scenery and mom told that you were having some staff issues…"
"Chris you are aware that when you are hiding something that you rant?" she asked with a smirk "I'll give you a job but what's going on?" she asked this time genuinely worried
"Remember Bianca?" he asked
"Your assassin phoenix girlfriend how could I forget?" she answered sarcastically with a nod
"She's not an assassin… any longer anyway well she's…" he began to stutter on the later part
"She's what? Chris?" pushed Paige
"Pregnant" answered Chris
Paige's jaw dropped her eyes almost fell out of her sockets as Chris blushed at his aunt's reaction and what seemed like an eternity of staring Chris finally broke the silence
"Aunt Paige?" he asked
"Oh Chris why couldn't you simply burned another carpet?" she asked as she hit her head against her desk, this indeed was a very tiring day

She really wasn't so sure about this but it needed to be done. Piper took the telephone and started to dial

Her head hurt Melinda couldn't believe how many subjects' she was taking of course everyone was excited when she told them that she managed to actually get to College. Not only were Piper and Leo very pleased but thrilled that they daughter had chosen to study Archeology although Melinda always had a knack at history she had taken extra responsibilities due the recent events. Piper had decided that Melinda was indeed responsible enough to go demon hunting on her own and even had supported her daughter fully hence forth came the surprise of college even as a bigger shock since Chris dropped out in his second year and Wyatt went and became a police officer hence college was completely new terrain for her
Her first class was 'Art History Criticism and Conservation' room 102 as Melinda went up the stairs trying to avoid the crowd she managed to get on the second floor as someone bumped into her before she could see whom it was she was thrown into a premonition
/A red pentagram/ five figures all wearing long robes with hoods and standing on the points of pentagram/ the red color it wasn't color it was blood/ the figures chanting something/
"oh crap" she muttered quietly
