"Mel... What the hell?" Paige muttered as she looked aroung the room.

Mel ignored her and continued talking to the boy.

"How did you get her?" she asked him quietly but it seemed like she was yelling at him.

"I had the help of another witch." the boy explained glancing at Paige.

Mel saw him look at her and immediatly got angry. "I'm so gonna kill her when we get back" she muttered.

"Mel!" Paige yelled getting her attention.

"Not now Au..." she started before realizing her mistake. "Oh sorry Paige, yes?" she asked smiling scardley.

"Why is this room frozen and why is he not?!" asked Paige angrily. "Who is he anyway?!" she added.

"It is frozen because he was idiot enough to orb in the middle of the room!" Mel yelled at him.

"You're a Whitelighter?" asked Paige as he shook his head up and down. "You're so young..." she added noticing he was probably the same age as Mel.

"By birth, not... death." he said looking kind of confused about the statement.

"Wait to Whitelighters got together? How is that aloud?" asked Paige.

"It's the future Paige, times changed." Mel explained as Paige nodded her head.

"So, you're from the future too?" she asked him.

"Yeah. My names..." but Mel cut him off before he could finish.

"Tom!" she yelled as the boy gave her a confused look. "His name's Tom." she said calmley.

"Yeah, okay, Tom... I'm guessing you need a place to stay... huh?" asked Paige.

"Kind of..." Tom said realizing that they would have to take care of Melinda and him and that they couldn't pay them back.

'What if the money we end up spending was supposed to go to some important thing?' he wondered.

Mel heard his thoughts(she still had her finding out alert thing going on) and just so he wouldn't guilt himself into making Mel and him go home, she replaced his thoughts with why she had "changed" his name.

"Okay, well I'm gonna go see if you can stay in the club..." Paige said heading off yet again to Piper's room. She decided she would let Mel and Tom sort some things out and then get them both to meet Piper.

"So Mel, why am I Tom?" he asked her.

"Dad knows your Mom, if he, for any reason, talked about you to her, then your mother might get suspicous or something considering you look like her and have the same name you said she's had picked out since she was little, which was 80 years ago..." she said. Mel hadn't said anything about his father since he hadn't become a Whitelighter yet. His father was around twenty right now and wouldn't die for another few years. His mother and father had been together in the past century though because his father had been his mother's husband before she died, and then he died and was reborn while she became a Whitelighter.

"Oh..." Tom said realizing that she was right.

"You guys..." Paige said walking back in, but she stopped and looked around. "It's still frozen..." she whispered in awe.

"My powers are really advanced. This room can stay frozen for hours and anyone who comes into this room will freeze." Mel said sort of bragging as Tom rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, well, cool, come on. Unfreeze the..." Paige commanded Mel as she started walking towards Piper's room.

Mel motioned her hands and everything unfroze as she walked down the hall(and Tom followed).

"Piper... You finally get to meet our guest..." Paige said as she walked in and held the door open for Mel and Tom.

Mel didn't blink, all she did was stare, not wanting to miss anything. Tom saw her and smiled. He and Mel had been best friends since they were young and he knew how much she loved her mother, but she never even knew her...

"Hi Mel, Tom." Piper saw Mel smiling but she was blank and Tom laughing at her.

"You'll have to excuse her, she's meeting a Charmed One... I mean." Tom lied, still laughing.

"She met us..." Phoebe said confused at why she didn't have the same affect for them.

"No offense... but, Piper's always been her favorite. 'I want to be Piper Halliwell most awesome Charmed One!' she always used to say that!" he said smiling.

Mel snapped out of it.

"Yeah..." she said finding her voice. "When we were like... three..." she defended herself.

Piper smiled. "Trust me, I don't mind I'm your idol." Mel smiled back. She remembered all to well. She would say that when she and Tom were younger and playing the Charmed Ones(he was Leo and they had two of their other friends played Phoebe and Paige) they would put on a show for their families(sometimes Leo would even come and watch). She would always say.

"I want to be Piper Halliwell most awesomest Charmed One." to Piper and Piper would smile and say

"I think Prudence Melinda Halliwell, is the most awesomest of Piper Halliwell's daughters."

"I'm your only daughter!" Mel would laugh.

That was the only memory she had of her mother.

"Mel, snap out of it..." she found Tom snapping two fingers in front of her face.

"Sorry..." Mel whispered still looking at her mother.

"Don't be." Piper smiled and then turned to Chris. "You know Chris..." she laughed.

"Oh my gosh..." Mel got a grin on her face. "He used to be so cute..." she joked.

"I think he's still... well gonna be... cute." Piper laughed back.

"You're his mother, you have no choice..." Mel grinned. "No I'm kidding..." she said. 'He might be cute, if he wasn't my brother...' she thought smiling to herself.

"So Tom... You're gonna be staying in the club?" Phoebe asked.

"If you guy'll let me..." Tom replied.

"Of course..." Piper smiled even though she was worrying about how they would feed all those mouths. Mel sinced it and directed her thoughts to Chris. 'Not good for a new mother to have to much stress,' Mel reasoned with herself.

"Okay, now you can't orb her into the club at the middle of the night." Phoebe joked. Mel and Tom didn't even blush. They just smiled. They hung out so much they were used to people asking them if they were going out.

"How do you know we're not brother and sister?" Mel joked.

"Duh, because you two look nothing alike!" Phoebe said. "He's, what 5' 3" and you're like 5' 1", and then he has a redish, blondish colored hair and your a brunette, you have a few freckles, he has none, different noises... well, need I go on?"

"Pretty good reasons, I guess..." Tom said.

"You're not, right?" Paige asked making sure.

Mel laughed. "No... Just best friends."

"Hey Piper, by the way... Where's Leo?" asked Paige. Best friends had, for some reason, reminded her that he was supposed to be here.

"He had to take off, or up, whatever, but anyway, he left after Chris was born. He did hold him though..." she added seeing the question in her sister's eyes.

Paige and Phoebe smiled nervously.

"Um... I think we should leave Piper alone, with Chris..." Mel said, not wanting to go but knowing that that should probably end the conversation.

"Yeah, okay... Bye Pipe, Chris..." Phoebe smiled.

"Bye..." the rest of them said as they walked out of the room. Mel lingered for a second though and smiled at Piper and then closed the door.
