She found Greg but she didn't know how Cupid's normally went about this. "I didn't want to do this but I have to use a spell. I don't see any other way." P.J. looked at the spell she had. The only love spell was her Aunt Paige's past life. "This won't work. But maybe with a few tweaks. Bring together this Firefighter Greg and his true love. I summon her to come to his side. So that he may take her as his destined Bride."
At first nothing happened so she wasn't sure anything would happen. Then a young blonde woman was jogging and ran into Greg who had just stepped outside the firehouse. They started talking.
P.J. was so happy she hoped that did it. Then she felt a presence behind her.
"Who are you? We don't have any children as Cupid's."
"I'm not a child. I'm 19." P.J. said glaring at this man.
The man rolled his eyes, "I was right you are a child. Now answer my question, who are you? You appear to be a Cupid but yet you just cast a spell."
P.J. glared at the man, "Who are you and why do you care?"
"My name is Eros, I am a cupid. I was trying to set that young lady up with a nice young man she knows from her job. But then she ignored my attempts and came here. Now who are you?"
"My name is Prue and I'm part Cupid and part Witch. I'm also from the future and an alternate timeline."
"That's not possible, relationships between witches and other magical beings are prohibited by the Elders."
"I know of at least one witch and whitelighter whose children would disagree with that statement."
Eros frowned, "I hadn't heard that young Wyatt had any siblings."
P.J.'s eyes went wide, "I don't understand how...how did I…"
"Problem?"
P.J. sighed, "I made a spell that said I couldn't tell anyone about the future and yet I told you."
Eros frowned, "You claim to be from the future and part Cupid. Let me guess now you plan to tell me that the reason you were able to tell me is that I'm your father right?"
P.J. glared at him, "No your not. I've never seen or heard of you before."
"You did say this was an alternate timeline so maybe…"
"No, no maybes about it. Things aren't that different between the two timelines."
"Which of the Charmed Ones is your mother?"
"I never said I was related."
"Ah but you did."
"How?"
"You are named after one of the Charmed Ones and you're a half breed. Everyone knows they are the only witches to ever defy the Elders there's no other explanation."
"Maybe you can help me then. Since the spell doesn't seem to affect you." P.J. said, refusing to answer his question.
"What do you need?"
"Wyatt doesn't have any siblings… yet, technically. That's the problem. Chris will disappear if we don't do something to get Piper and Leo together again."
"The Charmed Ones new whitelighter? I'd heard rumors about him. Who would have guessed he was actually the son of the Charmed Ones. I'd have never guessed. I'm not sure what I can really do. I mean I can make them realize their love for each other still exists but I can't force anything else. Just like your little spell can lead those two together but in the end he may still choose to return to your aunt."
"How do you know she's not my mother too?"
"No, I've heard about Piper from my other colleges. She'd never go for another magical one. If I had to guess I'd say the youngest… ah I can't think of her name now. She kept denying any guys my colleges tried setting her up with. She always seemed to choose losers or bad boy's. I constantly kept trying to help my college to steer her away from that demon half breed but I left after she got pregnant."
P.J. was shocked she didn't know her mother had a child before her. She was also surprised to hear her mother was in love with a demon. Though she wondered about the half breed part.
"I was sad to hear how she lost it. But relieved when I was told she divorced him. It wouldn't surprise me if at the end of the day she fell for a Cupid. I'd be interested in how they met as we normally don't reveal ourselves to anyone."
P.J. remembering Chris not wanting to tell anyone about the future which was another reason she refused to tell him who her mother was earlier. So she lied and said "I don't know. My family doesn't tell us much about the past."
"Too bad."
This guy made P.J. nervous. First the fact that the spell for some reason didn't work on him and seemed to know more about her family than she did. She wasn't about to tell him anything. "I did what I came here to do. I have to get back to my cousin."
"I thought you wanted my help?"
"I did till you said you couldn't help beyond reminding them of their love which I don't think will help." At that she beamed out happy to be away from him.

Richard turned to Melinda and asked, "So what exactly are we looking for?"
"I don't know. Just something to help Chris and Wyatt to bond or at this point how to defeat an Elder."
"Why would you want to defeat an Elder?'
"Because an Elder is the one responsible for turning Wyatt evil. Actually he wanted to kill him but couldn't because of Wy's shield."
"How did that make him evil?
Melinda paused, "I'm not sure."
"Well it doesn't matter. I haven't met an Elder so I'm not sure if any of my books will be of any interest."
They were still flipping through the few books he had. When P.J. returned.
Melinda looked and asked, "How did it go?"
"Well they were talking that's about all I can hope for, for now. Did you find anything?"
"No we didn't. We've been through all his books."
"Well I didn't have a lot to start with."
"Do you think your family might have more or answers?"
"Doubt it. We've never really been ones to collect books or write spells down. Any past generations that may have been kept were likely destroyed due to the fued."
"I guess we should head back to P3 and talk to Chris and Wyatt. Thanks for trying and please don't tell Paige about this." Melinda said.
Richard sighed, "I'm sorry I couldn't help more."
Before they could say anything more they heard Wyatt calling for help.
"Somethings come up, sorry and again thanks for trying." Melinda said as she and P.J. beamed out.
Richard was confused as to what just happened. They just suddenly stopped and seemed to stare into space and now there's an emergency. "Uh yeah sure. Take care.'
