A/N:
I have changed the ending a little about who the Kitty cat really is.
Thank you Joleca for bringing this up, I was very tired when I wrote the last two chapters and may have missed some things. I hope this answers your questions. I totally agree with you about Cole, I really liked his character and I think he got screwed over in the series. But I don't have the energy to rewrite season six or the rest so I came up with a way to bring him back in a different way.
Their memories were replaced with what happened after Rome including meeting Prue there. So for all they knew, she died two years earlier. Because Prue was not in the original time line Melinda set up her device to wipe that memory to keep things on track and only if they were not able to fix Wyatt to make sure she and Chris would be born again. The last four episodes were Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun, Sense and Sense Ability, Necromancing the Stone and Oh My Goddess were Leo becomes an elder again and Chris returned for the second time.
Chapter 53
Once I was lost
Chris did return for a second time but kept himself a secret until he could no longer hide his identity and was able to fix Wyatt once and for all. Leo did become an elder again but then fell from grace a year later and was now human. Phoebe moved on after Cole as the memory of how he died was replaced the original timeline, of her and her sisters vanquishing him. Rome was never forgotten but the parts they wanted removed were still wiped clean from their minds. It was now 10 years later and Piper was driving down a rode with five-year-old Melinda in the backseat who kicked her feet excessively and hit the back of Piper's chair.
"Sweetie could you stop kicking mommy's chair?" Piper asks with a smile as she looked into the rearview mirror to see her daughter.
"I need to go potty," Mel said as she looked at Piper's reflection.
"Oh honey we will be home in about 10 minutes, can you hold it?" Piper asks.
"No I need to go potty," Melinda replied more strongly.
"Ok let me just find a place to pull over," Piper said as she looked for a spot to park her car.
After coming to a stop Piper got out and then opened the back passenger door as her cell phone rang. "Hello," Piper said as she helped her daughter out and placed her on the ground. "Melinda hold my hand okay?"
"Okay," Melinda replied and put her hand into Piper's as they walked down to a big tree.
"We will be home in a few minutes," Piper said into her cell phone. "Here you go honey," she said and handed Mel some tissue paper she had in her purse. "Thanks," Mel said and moved behind the tree.
"Did she get her book?" Leo asks from the other side of the phone.
"Yeah it's cute," Piper replied as she tried to watch her daughter but Melinda put her little hands on her little hips to signify she wanted some privacy. Piper rolled her eyes and turned around as she laughed a little.
"What's going on?" Leo asks.
"A very self-conscious daughter," Piper replied.
"I wonder where she gets that from," Leo said and she could hear him laugh a little through the phone.
"My little kingdom," Piper said.
"Come again?"
"The name of the book is called My little kingdom," Piper replied.
Melinda was finishing up and did her best in using the tissue paper and wrinkled her face as she dropped it to the ground, "yucky," she said as a small kitten that was nothing but white fur was sitting on its back legs and its head was tilted slightly. "Kitty," she said and ran towards it but it ran off. "Come back kitty."
"Mel honey wait," Piper said as she turned around and saw her daughter running into the tree line a few feet away. "I need to go Mel is chasing something," she said and hung up her cell phone.
Piper chased her daughter who was intent on something as she disappeared into the tree line, "Mel!" she yelled and began to panic as she was out of site.
Melinda kept her eyes on the little kitty as she emerged from the tree line and was now in an open field of bright green grass as the cat stopped and let her pick it up. "You are very furry, I will call you Mr. Fluff a lot and you will be in my kingdom because my daddy says I'm a Princess," she said and held the kitten close to her face as it purred.
"Mel don't you ever run from me," Piper said as she emerged from the tree line as well and kneel down to her daughter's height. After looking over Mel she saw the vibrant green grass beneath her feet and then heard the waterfalls surrounded them that came from the high mountain tops. Piper stood up and now could see the entire field and the beautiful flowers as their fragrance filled her nostrils.
"Can I keep him?" Mel asks while holding the kitten away from her body so Piper could see it.
"Sure," Piper replied as her focus was now on the beautiful and breathtaking sights before her. At least 100 butterflies took flight from the center and flew towards a gazebo near a Lake had had a waterfall going into it.
"Mom this looks like the picture in my book," Mel said as she held the kitten close to her again and started to walk forward beside her mother.
"Did you do this?" Piper asks as she looked at Mel.
"No I didn't, I didn't do it mommy," Mel replied nervously thinking she was in trouble.
"Its ok honey you're not in trouble, but if you didn't do this then who did?"
"I knew you find this place again," An old but familiar voice said behind them.
Piper froze as Melinda turnaround to see who spoke.
"Hi there little one," Prue said as she patted her nieces head and the little girl smiled. "Piper?"
After a few intense moments as emotions from all sorts were moving through Piper's body, she turned around and was now face-to-face with her dead sister and Andy. "Prue," she exhaled out as she could no longer hold her breath.
Prue became solid along with Andy and she tucked a strand of hair behind Piper's ear. The shocked sister could feel her touch and just stared aimlessly at Prue. "How?" she asks.
"Well that is a long and interesting story," Prue replied.
"Hay do you want to see the gazebo?" Andy asks Mel as he could tell the sisters had a lot of catching up to do.
"Can I mommy?" Mel asks.
"Sure," Piper replied but did not take her eyes off of Prue.
Andy took Melinda's hand into his and walked towards the gazebo in the distance as butterflies flew around it. "This place is beautiful," Mel said while looking around.
"Yes it is," Andy replied.
Prue took Piper's hands into hers and could feel them shake. "Piper calm down I will explain everything but maybe you should get our other sisters."
"Paige," Piper said in a whisper mostly because she was speechless. Paige orbed in because she could feel some kind of stress or something in Piper's voice.
"Is everything ok because little Henry Junior thinks hamsters can fly," Paige said as she held a hamster in her arms. Piper said nothing as she continued to stare at Prue.
Paige looked in the direction where her silent sister was looking and almost dropped the little hamster in the process. "Prue," she whispered out as well.
"Paige how are you?" Prue asks as she hugged her.
"Am I dead?"
"No but could you get Phoebe?" Prue asks.
Paige wasted no time and orbed away as Piper was getting a hold of herself but could not stop the tears of joy that made their escape through her eyes. "Come on let's go to the gazebo and sit down, because I think you're going to pass out," Prue said and took Piper's arm and led her to Andy and Mel who were swinging on the bench that was supported by chains above them. Mel held on to her new kitty cat that was very comfortable in her arms. "Is this your kitty?" Mel asks nervously.
"Nope its yours," Andy replied and Mel smiled wide. "What did you name her?"
"Mr. Fluff a lot," Mel replied proudly.
"Perfect name," he said as Piper and Prue stepped into the gazebo.
Paige orbed in with Leo and Phoebe close to them but they were facing the other direction.
"Paige I was in the middle of cooking lunch," Phoebe said while holding a spatula. Paige put her hands on Phoebe's shoulders and turned her around to face Piper and Prue. The spatula hit the ground as Leo kept her from falling over. "Prue?"
"I see your pregnant, what is this your third I think I'm noticing a trend," Prue replied and hugged Phoebe along with Paige and Leo. Another bench materialized in the gazebo so all of them could sit down as Prue told them the story of how she was there. Andy took Melinda for a walk because of the part about future Melinda dying and creating this place. Prue could see the pain in Piper and Leo's eyes when she talked about it but when they looked at Mel walking with Andy they knew she was ok.
"So you have been here the whole time?" Paige asks.
"We can come here or up there whenever we choose," Prue replied.
"Can you leave here?" Piper asks hopefully.
"No, but you can see me whenever you want," Prue replied.
"Prue what happened to Cole?" Phoebe asks but and then felt a little guilt after asking.
"He has a new job so to speak, and once his finishes he will finally get what he always wanted, peace," Prue replied.
"Phoebe?" Phoebe asks.
"You'll see, let's just enjoy each other's company for now," Prue replied and a picnic basket materialized out of white lights in front of them. "Hungry?"
Everyone nodded as Andy came back with Melinda who was still carrying the cat in her arms. They all would eat and talked for hours until finally the day was coming to an end. Piper called Wyatt on her cell phone to take care of Chris while they were gone and to go to the neighbors until they got back. Leo said he would bring them tomorrow so they could see Aunt Prue and Uncle Andy. Melinda finished her little plate of food that seemed to be perfect proportion for her as the others finished theirs while the cat played next to her. They would all say their goodbyes reluctantly but Prue insured them that she would be there whenever they wanted to see her.
"How is it that no one has ever stumbled onto this place?" Piper asks.
"Because no one else can see it, just you and of course the family," Prue replied and kissed Piper on the cheek.
Paige orbed everyone home as Andy and Prue smiled at each other. "Well it's time for me to go to work, I will be back soon," Prue said and kissed Andy on the lips.
"I love you."
"I love you too," Prue said as she materialized away in white lights.
Piper covered Melinda up with a blanket as she held the book in her hand while the kitten was snuggled in with Mel. "Good night sweetie," Piper said and kissed Melinda on the forehead.
"Say good night to Mr. Fluff a lot," Mel said as her eyelids grew heavy.
"Good night," Piper said as she kissed the kittens head but stopped when she looked into its eyes. They were a dark brown and identical to Cole's. The kitten gave a slight wink as it placed his head underneath Melinda's chin and purred loudly. "Cole," Piper said to herself and remembered what she said. "His new job." she thought as she walked over to the door and turned off the light. "You're her familiar," she whispered and could not keep her smile contained as she shut the door.
