Authors note: I meant to get this up earlier but –as stupid as this sounds- my computer won't switch on. Don't ask.
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.
Shippers: It follows the show that means there's none.
Rating: PG
Timeline: The Paige, Piper and Phoebe who got back are from just after the fifth season. This is set in the third season. Sometime around when Leo/Piper and Cole/Phoebe are together.
Distribution: Does anyone actually want to? If you do feel free just tell me.
Summary: What if you woke up one morning and found out that the last two years of your life hadn't happened yet? Blame it on magic and try and fix it but is the solution ever that easy?
Title: Back Again
Epilogue
Piper, Paige and Phoebe were in attic. It was a day after they had materialized back in their beds, making it seem like it was just a dream. Phoebe had no evidence of being attacked but Piper bore a thin scar from her own knife.
"I told Leo what would happen. How could he possibly have known that and never let it show? Never change anything. I say he ended up with no memory of their visit to the past," asked Piper.
"I don't know he can be very strong. Maybe if he told us something drastic would happen," suggested Paige.
"Prue could've never kept a secret like that from us and she didn't have any reason to either," said Phoebe.
"I bet the elders had something to do with it," said Piper darkly. Phoebe and Paige had been bought her back too. Their spell worked just in time. She had seen Leo's face as she faded back into this world and faded out of the one in which she was with Leo. She had known Leo's answer. He would've let her stay. She lost Leo, again.
"Wouldn't put it past them," said Paige.
Phoebe asked a question, though one they should know, one that had been bothering all of them. "So who did it?"
"The only thing I could think of was those shadow things," said Paige.
"No they were just cleaning up. Something else sent us back," said Piper.
"So who? I mean there has to be an easier way to try and get rid of us?" asked Phoebe.

It worked. Not well granted, but it worked. It was a good start and Chris had a lot more surprises for them. Chris smiled. He was tempted to let out an evil laugh but found it too cliché. They didn't suspect that he had anything to do it. Soon they would make their biggest mistake yet, they would trust him.
THE END
Authors note: So what do you think? Should I do a sequel? I think there could be one to explain more about Chris and his actions. I have no particular reason for putting him behind it expect that at the end of the show it made him out to be evil. And most evil things try to kill or harm the Charmed ones and the trust remark well that just leading up from what Chris said to Wyatt.
