Authors note: This isn't my idea I got it out of a Buffy book and since I saw no Charmed stories like this I decided to do one. This is just a revised version of the story. I finally learned how to use italics.

Disclaimer: This plot belongs to Jane Espenson not me. I would pretend it's mine but if anyone read her story they'd probably know and then I'd feel stupid. None of these Charmed characters belong to me.

Distribution: Does anyone actually want to? If you do feel free just tell me.

Summary: What if you woke up and found out that the last two years of you life hadn't happened yet? Blame it on magic and try to fix it. But is the solution that simple?

Rating: PG?

Shippers: It follows the show.

Timeline: The normal time is just after season 5. The time they go to is sometime is season 3. I'm not sure when since I never so it but Leo and Piper are together (I haven't decided if it's before there marriage or after). Phoebe and Cole are together. She still thinks he's normal

Title: Back Again

Prologue.

"What's going on?" Paige mumbled. She was still half-asleep. Maybe even three-quarters. But not entirely and she knew something was wrong.

Part of it was the light. Even facedown, face smooshed in to the pillow, blankets pulled up to her ears, she could sense it was wrong. The light was too bright and even stranger it was coming from the wrong side. Paige rolled over and nearly fell out of the bed. The bed was smaller than usual. That normally didn't happen. She sat up and looked around her room. Her heart kicked in her chest.

She found herself in her old apartment. It was never that great of a place to be but now it was alarming. Ok stay calm. Time travel. Gotta be. Someone sent me back in time for some reason. I can't change anything or do anything different. That's going to make things complicated.


Phoebe woke up to the doorbell. Her eyes were squinty and they had little crusty bits at the corners. Someone else with get it, Phoebe thought but no one did. Phoebe stumbled out of bed. She opened the door ready to snap at whoever was there. On the other side was Cole.

"Hi," he said. It took a moment for it to register with Phoebe. How can Cole be standing there? He died. Twice. "You look like you've seen a ghost," said Cole with a smile.

If only you knew how true that was, thought Phoebe. She ran her hand through her hair trying to think. It confused her even more. Her hair was different. It was shorter and blonder. What? Why isn't he trying to kill me or make me love him? He looks sane and younger. It's like he doesn't want to kill me. But that doesn't sense unless. the phone interrupted the rest of Phoebe's thoughts. "I'm a bit behind this morning. Can we do this later."

"Sure. I thought I'd surprise you to a breakfast. I didn't think about you not being ready," said Cole, "How about dinner?"

"Definitely," said Phoebe. The phone rang again as Cole left. Cautiously Phoebe answered it. "Hello,"

It was Paige.

Authors note: This could be just one chapter and it would make sense but I always skip one chapter stories and wait till there's at least two. Other people might do that too so I'm having a few chapters. Only six thought otherwise they'll only be the size of this one.
