IMPRESSIONS OF THE WORLD TO COME

Piper's POV
We were waiting for Buffy and Angel at the Manor. When they finally arrived it looked like a storm had hit them. I guessed what had happened. Leo and I were like that when we first got together. We decided to head to the club via cars but as I reached for the door a portal opened and sucked me and the everyone else into it. When I was able to see again I noticed that we were right back in the manor the only difference was that three teenagers were standing in front of us, two girls and a boy. When we asked them why they were in our house, they claimed that it was their house. We followed them into the sunroom. We all sat down and began talking. They said that the older boy was my sweet, innocent baby Wyatt and that I actually had my Melinda. My sweet little Melinda. The child I wished for forever. Skylar also said that Phoebe had a little girl named Aislinn and Prue was married to Bane. Richard had died. That made us feel bad since he was standing right there. They also said that we had another sister named Patrice. The girl who looked like Phoebe was said to be Portia and the one talking was Phoebe's adopted daughter Skylar, who is half demon but only uses her power for good. Portia started to talk but got a premonition. We asked Skylar to get everyone but she just looked at Portia. She did the summoning. Her mom looked really mad. We all sat down and talked. I decided to go and cook with their permission of course. They agreed and the other Piper came to help her. She decided to make some Pan de Mertu. Or Bread of the dead. It's not really Dead bread it is just real cookies with skeleton fingers on it. I was finally able to clear my mind. After we finished the cookies we both took them out hoping that they would like them and that Phoebe wouldn't go crazy again. After the food was delivered she decided to go check on little Aislinn and Melinda who were with Prue and Portia. Oh my gosh were the first things that came to her mind. She could tell which one was her little Melinda straight off. Prue was holding her like she had always been with her already.

"Umm so Piper, what happened in the past that hasn't happened here?" the future Piper asked.

"Well a lot. Wyatt was just born last year. Leo never left. We kicked Titan butt. We met Buffy and her friends two days ago. Grams and Mom married Buffy and Angel by hand fasting last night. We were heading out the door for P3 but we ended up here leaving Jason, Cole, Andy, Dan, Glen, Xander, Oz, Jenny, Cordelia, and Wyatt all behind. And this kind of scares me. I mean look at what has happened. A lot of things are different. Oh and that Chris guy who just kind of showed his head when you guys ran down the stairs appeared. He left instantly. I noticed him. He was with us for about a year, but he disappeared. I have no clue what happened to him. But after he left things got better. There's not as many demon attacks now either." Past Piper respond.

"Wow things are different. Leo left along time ago but he came back. Now we are as happy as ever. Chris he tries to stay away but never can. He was never a good help to us all he says is, 'No listen Wyatt is in danger.' But Wyatt hardly ever fights demons. There have been a lot of close encounters not one of the demons survive now though. Ok I think we are done. If you want you can help me take these cookies into the living room and then go play with Melinda and Aislinn." Future Piper said.

"Sure. Of course I'll help." She said softly.

They took the trays into the living room and then she left to go to the sunroom to see her little Melinda and niece Aislinn.

"Prue you're going to have to hand Melinda over now. It's my turn." Piper said.
"OK here Portia may I hold Aislinn?" Prue asked.

"Sure here you go Prue or should it be Aunt Prue?" Portia asked.

"Just Prue I don't want to get everyone confused. Thanks. Sweetie" Prue said.
"Prue look she actually looks like me. Maybe she'll be that sweet little girl I saw when I was in the future. She was gorgeous child. She even had my fear of using magic in public because she knew what was going to happen to Phoebe." Piper said.
"I remember Piper. I hated my long blonde hair. At least one part of the future never came. You and Leo never split. Well I guess the exception is of this world." Prue said.

Portia got up and decided to let the sisters have a moment by themselves. "Wow they're really close. Did they really see little Mel in the future? I wonder what she was like? Things are different at least they might still get a chance to meet me and mom and daddy when we are all older in their world," Portia thought to herself.

"Portia sweetie can we talk? Are you ok, you seem kind of scared." Prue said.

"Sure…Prue. Nothings wrong, it's just in your world you may never meet me or mom or dad and I don't want that for you. I want you to get to know the me from your own time. I want to at least know that there is some chance that all of you want the me from your world, not just know future me." Portia said.

"Portia sweetie, I am never going to forget you. I have already only known you for a day and I love you just like your Aunt Prue does and I am going to go and find both you and Patrice when I go back home. The only thing I'm going to need is both your full names. I'm never going to let you go Portia I love you." Prue said.

"Thanks Prue. I'm never going to let you go either. My full name is Portia Atiana Tomasi. And here lets get a picture of us that way I can always remember meeting you." Portia said.

"Sure sweetie here's my camera. I'm sure you're going to be just as beautiful as you are now." Prue said as they leaned in and took a picture
