Future Imperfect takes another swing at it.
Disclaimers:: I don't own the charmed ones, past, present and future.
IMPORTANT:: I decided to be democratic. And let you, the readers have a vote in this.
I'm taking a poll on where this story should go Please EMAIL me at starsenshi_@hotmail.com with your answer. (if you want to affect the outcome) someday I should start an email group and do a poll that way, but till then-
What should happen in the story as a result of the spell at the end of the chapter?(it's purposefully ambiguous) A. the people from the future will go home to their time.
B. The spell doesn't work.
C. 1. because of faulty writing everyone in that room gets sent to the future(season 6).
2. they get sent to Chris's future.
It's like Choose your own Adventure/fanfic!
(The poll ends next Friday 3/19/04 at 2:30pm Mountain standard time (USA) maybe earlier if I get a lot of answers) :D
On with the show.
**POOF**
Blue light shined down and a redhead fell.
"Woah!" the new girl said looking around.
"Paige!?" Chris said surprised.
"Who's this?" Prue asked Chris
"Oh uh, this is my sister, Paige." Chris said thinking fast "She's ½ whitelighter too."
Paige gave him a weird look. If she really was his sister that would complicate things in future huh? Piper as her mom. Oh heck no. That sister of hers was a slavedriver.
"Right, his sister," Paige said putting her hands in her pockets. "How did I end up here Chris? Where ever here is. Not that I'm not grateful to be saved from- the one guy but-" Paige stared at Prue. "oh."
Phoebe piped in "A spell actually. My spell. "
"Time travel." Paige said annoyed to Chris.
"Yeah." He admitted.
"You know I do see some sort of family resemblance between you two." Prue said looking from one whitelighter to the other. Phoebe nodded.
Paige laughed nervously. "Yeah." She said the same way Chris had.
"Amazing! I look a lot like my parents and family and not one of you has even ever mentioned that before." Chris said throwing his hands up.
"L- the Good Elder got very worried when he found out you two just vanished." Paige said to change the subject before her older sisters looked too closely at the family resemblances. Before they realized that he had Piper's eyes and attitude and Leo's build. And so forth.
Which brought up a very good question. WHY had it taken them so long to realize that he was Piper and Leo's son? There really weren't that many witch/whitelighter couples and he did look a lot like them. ((why indeed))
"Sorry, I really didn't mean to travel back in time, then, I just panicked" Chris said feeling like he needed to explain himself to his aunt. He put up his hands and shrugged.
"What do you mean the 'good' Elder, Aren't ALL Elders inherently good?" Prue asked.
"Uh, Chris, I know you want to answer that one." Paige said volunteering her nephew.
"In the future, things get a little complicated." Chris said as vaguely as possible.
"Uh huh. Mind telling us why my spell brought your sister here?" Phoebe asked.
" Come on now, Pheebs, can't you just forsee the answer?" Paige said
"Pheebs? No one calls me that-"
"oo-k Phoebe." Paige said rolling her eyes.
"How do you know my name?" Phoebe drilled.
"Cause, uh, I'm –" Paige looked to Chris for help. She didn't know what story he had already told them about himself.
"The other charmed one's whitelighter, you know, Since I'm only ½ whitelighter, we need two of us to heal, and stuff." Chris covered up quicky.
If Paige had been a telepath at that moment she would have told Chris what a brilliant liar he was. She'd tell him anyway later, if it wouldn't blow their cover.
Wait a sec. Why am I covering anything up?
"What he said. Is Piper Ok? Where is she?" Paige asked, not seeing that particular sister.
Past Piper chose that moment to return to the kitchen, having heard a suspicious magic noise.
"I'm fine." She said not seeing Paige yet.
Paige turned around and saw Piper the very not pregnant.
"Piper! Oh no! You lost the baby?" Paige said looking very concerned. A lightbulb seemed to go off in her head… she turned to Chris. "Wait a second- you're ok." She looked very confused.
Prue and Phoebe looked on in utter confusion. Were all ½ whitelighters this weird and vague?
"Who is that?" Past Piper asked with the same sort of confusion on her face as her current sisters.
"This is the Past's Piper, Paige." Chris said as an aside to her.
Paige's mouth made an 0 shape.
"The Short of it, this girl is supposed to help get the other you back to her time." Prue said not wanting to go through introductions again.
"oh. Ok." Piper said indicating that she was building up a tolerancy for the extremely weird.
Meanwhile, Our Season 6 Piper was taking some comfort in the past. ::cough cough:: (author averts her eyes, It's nothing that explicit. A few kisses, no groping, lots of hugs, after all Past Leo doesn't want to seem like he's cheating on his fiancée by doing stuff with his wife. Err.. Future wife…. Or Ex-wife,- whatever.)
How did the Leo she had known change from this loving man, to the distant aloof Elder of the future? Leo had said that it was their love that had made him an Elder. Did that mean that her love would destroy any man? The men before Leo would agree with that. Poor Dan. If she hadn't have been a charmed one would even Jeremy had turned so evil?
"Piper?"
"Right, uh sorry." Future Piper said disengaging herself from Leo. She had to remind herself that this was PAST Leo and therefore not hers. Not that he was hers anymore. What was up with that? In their marriage vows he had said that he was hers always… but maybe promises didn't matter to Elders.
"I didn't mean to –" Leo stopped when he saw Paige, the now redhead.
"Wo, Piper, I don't think this is the TIME or place to be getting any action." Paige teased.
"Uh, who are you?" Leo asked separating from future Piper more.
"Paige! How did you get here?" Piper said answering Leo's question.
"Phoebe messed up a spell." Paige said proudly. After all it wasn't often that that happened. In fact she was usually blamed for spell problems.
"This times Phoebe?" Piper asked
"The very same."
"Oh." Future Piper didn't seem too surprised.
The rest of the crew decided that would be a good time to come in.
Future Piper was trying not to stare at her older sister. It was weird, it was like watching her own memories of how Prue acted.
"I came up with a spell." Chris said eagerly. It was hard to keep secrets from the hard driving Prue… and two of his mother? It would be too much to stand. Every moment here he was in fear of the two of them ganging up on him and getting a lecture from both of his moms at the same time.
"Right, responsibilities call." Piper said with renewed vigor. She got up and was determined not to look back at Leo for fear that she would break down and not leave at all.
Paige could see how forlorn her sister looked and went over to hug her.
"Let's get this show on the road." Paige said eagerly looking from one Piper to the other. She wished that she could have gotton to know Prue. But if they didn't get back Leo the elder would have a hernia. She also didn't want to think about what could happen to Wyatt and even Leo while they were gone.
Paige, Chris and Future Piper put their hands together and recited.
"Witches of the Haliwell line,
We call to you through space and time,
As three to whom thy power ties
Bring us back to where our proper space lies.
In time to save our family line.
Blue and Purple light glowed around the three as they each represented a part of the charmed ones power. Past Present and Future.

Yes I know that was a horrible spell _;;
(Wow. I'm done, I had a weird dream last night, it involved unprocessed meat and the modern charmed ones having to do a weird modern dance on the top of a building to prove that they had the creative spirit or something so some magical creature would help them stop some evil.. I thought it was a real episode I was watching before I woke up.(( Katydidnt thought I should tell you guys that )) )
On another note on silly charmed things, I was looking through my British Lit book, and I saw this heading- "Sir Thomas Wyatt The Elder 1503-1542
Some of his poems were titled "Farewell, Love" "The long love that in my thought doth harbor." "And wilt thou leave me thus" and "Forget not yet."
Also there is a Chris Perry who is a professional athlete.
Yeah Random thoughts!
Thank you all for all of your reviews! I loved them all! (if you have any other seneros that you think I should write let me know :D I could have it not work, or have the reaction of what happens when they return to the future.)
Miss Poisonous :I tried to do some Prue angst maybe I'll do a little more.
GoldStranger: I'm glad you thought it was funny. Although as Anne of Green gables would say "I wasn't trying to be funny." But if it turned out that way yay!
If you guys haven't noticed I've been adjusting this fic according to all of your comments.
