The Third Son:
Chapter 5: The Week That Didn't Fly By
O.O.O.O Day One O.O.O.O
The next afternoon, Phoebe, Piper, and Paige sat in the living room in silence, trying to think up a way to get Future Leo and Future Piper out of there before the week was up.
Paige turned to Phoebe, both of them on the couch. "What do you think the odds are that a demon attacks before they leave?"
"I think there's a pretty good chance that they will, as long as all three of Piper's sons are here in the same time zone," Phoebe said, nodding.
Prue walked in. "Hey, you guys. Mind if I join you?"
"No! Not at all! Come! Sit!" Phoebe said smiling, patting the seat next to her.
Prue smiled. "Great," she said, sitting down between Paige and Phoebe. "So, what are you guys doing?"
"Trying to figure out a way to make your Piper and Leo leave before they have to," Paige said, looking deep in concentration.
Prue laughed a bit. "You won't get them to leave without their sons. Trust me. They may act like sex-crazed teenagers, but they're still wonderful parents."
Piper smiled. "Well, that's good to know."
Prue looked around and smiled. "I'm just surprised that I haven't gotten any hugs yet."
Then, suddenly, Paige and Phoebe dog-piled on Prue, all three of them laughing and smiling widely.
Piper smiled at her sisters as Future Leo and Future Piper walked in at the same time Leo orbed in.
"Yay! Now all four of us are in the same room!" Future Piper cheered, looking from Leo to Piper and back again.
"I don't exactly think 'yay' is the word for it," Piper said dryly.
Future Piper looked up at Future Leo, looking confused. "Honey, I don't think they like us."
Future Leo smiled. "What's not to like?" he asked, lifting up his shirt sleeve and showing off his bicep.
Piper smiled. "Well, that's one thing I sure like."
"Piper!" Leo half yelled, covering her eyes.
Piper removed his hand. "Well, technically it's still you, sweetie. Just a future version of you."
"And a hotter one, too," Phoebe said, growling seductively at Future Leo.
"Phoebe!" Piper, Paige, Prue, and Leo yelled.
Phoebe smiled embarrassedly. "Sorry," she said, looking over at the other side of the room slowly and rubbing the back of her neck.
Future Leo smiled seductively at Phoebe. "I don't mind."
"I do!" Future Piper yelled. "My sisters aren't allowed to hit on you!"
Future Leo turned to her and stared at her. "They have before and you didn't mind."
"They have?" Piper asked, raising an eyebrow and looking over at Prue, Phoebe, and Paige.
"Why do you care now?" Future Leo asked, taking Future Piper's hands in his own.
"I - I don't know. I just do, okay?" Future Piper asked, sighing.
Future Leo nodded and kissed Future Piper deeply.
"Not in front of people!" Future Piper scolded, looking around at the other five in the room.
"Sorry," Future Leo said, backing up a bit. "Honey, are you okay? You're not acting like yourself."
"I - I don't know," Future Piper said, grabbing her head, starting to sway a bit.
Phoebe quickly got up and help Future Piper sit down on the couch.
Future Leo kneeled down in front of his wife, his expression that of worry. "Piper, what's wrong?" he asked, touching Future Piper's cheek gently.
"I - I don't know. I'm so dizzy," she said, leaning back.
Future Leo tried healing her, and when that didn't work, he pushed Prue out of the way and sat down next to Future Piper.
"Phoebe! Paige! Wyatt! Chris! Michael! " Prue yelled, kneeling in front of her younger sister.
Future Paige quickly orbed in with Future Phoebe as Wyatt, Chris, and Michael orbed in.
"Oh my god, Piper!" Future Paige yelled, running to Future Piper's side.
"What happened?" Future Phoebe asked Prue quickly.
"I don't know! One minute she was fine, then next minute she started acting strange, and now she's dizzy," Prue said, shrugging.
"Well, how was she acting strange?" Future Phoebe asked.
"She . . . She started acting like her, in a sense," Prue said, motioning to Piper.
"Well, maybe she's going back to her old self?" Future Paige asked hopefully.
"I hope so . . ." Chris muttered, crossing his arms.
Wyatt and Michael smiled, both nodding.
Piper stood in the back of the room with Leo, Phoebe, and Paige, the four of them trying not to get in the way.
Then Baby Chris started crying upstairs.
"Chris . . ." Piper whispered, heading out of the room.
"Wait," Future Piper said, causing Piper to stop speed walking and turn towards her. "Can - Can I see him?"
Piper smiled and nodded. "Leo, can you go get him?"
Leo nodded and orbed out. Then he orbed back in with a calm Baby Chris, handing him to Future Piper.
"This is so embarrassing," Chris muttered, his face going red.
"You'll get over it," Wyatt said, putting his arms around Chris and Michael's shoulders.
Future Piper smiled as the baby started to fall asleep in her arms. "You know, I feel a lot better now."
Future Leo smiled. "Good."
"Well, it looks like she's back to normal," Prue said smiling, walking over to Piper, Leo, Paige and Phoebe.
"Now all you have to do is wait for Leo, huh?" Paige asked, smiling back.
"That might take a while," Prue said, looking back at her family. Then she turned back to the four. "He's a little stubborn."
"I'm not stubborn," Leo said, rolling his eyes.
"I see what you mean," Phoebe said, smiling.
O.O.O.O Day Two O.O.O.O
The next morning Future Piper was making breakfast when Future Leo walked in.
"Hey," he said, smiling, kissing her on her neck.
"Leo, stop it. I'm cooking," Future Piper said, pushing him away gently.
"It's never bugged you before," Future Leo said, frowning.
Future Piper turned around and faced him. "Well, I changed back to normal after fifteen years. And I suggest that you do the same. Because I don't like you like this," she said, getting a bit teary eyed.
Future Leo stared at her. "Piper -"
"Just go away," Future Piper said, turning back to the stove.
Future Leo sighed and orbed to the upstairs hallway. He leaned against the wall then slid down onto the floor just as Piper walked out of her room.
She frowned and looked down at her future husband. "What's wrong?"
Future Leo looked up at her. "I don't get it. She's mad at me for being me. I mean, I get that she changed back to her normal self, but I just can't seem to change. And she said she doesn't like me like this," he said as Piper helped him up off the the floor.
Piper's frown deepened. "She must not be fully normal."
"Why do you say that?" Future Leo asked, crossing his arms.
"Because I'd love you no matter what. Your hormones might have changed, but your hearts hasn't," Piper said, smiling softly. "You still care about her as much as my Leo cares about me. That much was clear yesterday."
Future Leo smiled at her. "I don't think that could ever change. I just wish how you felt about me didn't change."
"It didn't. Trust me. She's just . . . She's just not fully herself yet. And you, you're getting there," Piper said, smiling. "And I promise that whatever happened, Leo and I won't let it happen. Because I would never rather make out than take care of my family."
"Piper, I love you," Future Leo said, leaning in to kiss her.
"I love you, too, Leo," Piper whispered softly, letting him kiss her softly.
"Piper?" Leo said from the other side of the hall.
"Leo!" Piper said, turning towards him. "I just got caught up in the moment. I'm sorry. I completely forgot that it was future you, and not . . . well, you."
Leo smiled. "It's okay, Piper. I understand," he said, walking over and holding her close to himself. He looked up at Future Leo. "Talk to her."
Future Leo smiled. "I'm the older one. I'm supposed to be more wise," he said chuckling before orbing into the kitchen, where Future Piper, both Phoebe's, both Paige's, and Prue were.
As soon as Future Leo orbed in, the six went silent, staring at him.
"Hey, Leo!" Phoebe said, trying to start up a conversation again. "What's up?"
"I wanted to talk to Piper, actually," Future Leo said, turning to his wife.
Future Piper sighed. "Leo, there's nothing to talk about," she said, looking down at the floor.
Then there came a crash from the living room, like the windows broke.
"Saved by the crash," Paige said, running into the living room with everyone else.
"Uh oh. Not good," Phoebe and Future Phoebe said in unison.
There, standing behind the couch and in front of the broken window, was a demon that looked so much like Belthozar, it was truly frightening.
Future Piper sighed in frustration and tried blowing the demon up.
Prue glared at the demon and tried to telekinetically make him go out the way he came in.
"Our powers aren't working on him," Paige stated obviously.
The demon looked around at the seven. "Where is he?" he asked, glaring at each of them in turn.
"Where is who?" Prue asked, standing in front of her sisters and her brother-in-law.
"Don't play dumb, witch. Where is The Third Son?" he asked, walking towards her. Then he grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him, lifting her chin up with one of his incredibly long fingernails. "I know you know where I might find him. You are, after all, his aunt."
"Exactly. And that's the reason I won't tell you," Prue said, spitting in his face.
"Bitch!" the demon yelled, throwing her across the room, causing her to slam into a table, breaking it.
"What do you want with him?" Future Leo asked, stepping up in Prue's place.
"What all evil wants with him. I want to kill him. To break up the second Power of Three," the demon said, shimmering behind Future Piper and grabbing her, placing a nail to her neck. "The boy or the woman. It's your choice. Because I wouldn't mind breaking up The Power of Four."
"Who do all these demons know about the second Power of Three and The Power of Four if they don't even happen yet?!" Paige yelled in frustration.
The demon smirked evilly at her. "You witches aren't the only ones who know how to time travel," he said, slicing Future Piper's neck a bit.
"Leave her alone!" Chris yelled from the doorway.
The demon smiled and dropped Future Piper, turning to Chris. "The Second Son. Not nearly as valuable as The First Son, but more valuable than The Third Son," he said, shimmering behind Chris.
Future Leo glared at the demon. "I swear, if you touch him -"
"You'll what?" the demon asked, looking up at him. "You'll kill me?"
"Be careful. We just might," Prue said, helping her sister up.
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that you won't have the chance," the demon said, grabbing Chris's arm.
Chris grabbed the demon by his arm and flipped him over on his back in front of himself. "Don't touch me," he said, glaring at the demon, who was now lying at his feet.
"They were right. You did inherit your eldest aunt's strength," the demon said before shimmering out.
"Chris, are you okay?" Prue asked, running over.
"I'm fine," Chris said, walking over to Future Piper. "Mom, are okay?"
"I'll be fine," she said, touching her neck where the demon had cut her.
"Let me heal you," Future Leo said, starting to walk over to her.
"No. I'll be fine," Future Piper said, walking out of the room.
Future Phoebe sighed and leaned against the wall, getting pulled into a premonition, of a demon attacking in that room. The demon who had just gotten away.
Prue put her hand on Future Phoebe's shoulder. "What is it? What did you see?"
"Fifteen years ago for us is very soon for them, and that's not the way it's supposed to work out," Future Phoebe said, sitting down on the couch.
"What do you mean?" Paige asked, sitting next to her.
Prue sighed. "That demon was the one who made Piper and Leo what they were a couple days ago. I thought he looked familiar. He's come sooner than he was supposed to."
"It's because he came back to kill Michael. That's not the right one," Future Phoebe said, looking up at Prue. "But I'm sure he's going to talk to his counterpart."
"We have to find him in The Book of Shadows before he has a chance to touch Piper and Leo," Paige said, leaving the room.
"I agree. If they never had a chance to turn into what they were, they'll never start fighting," Phoebe said, looking up at Future Leo.
"Then let's go," Prue said, following Paige, everyone else following her.
O.O.O.O Day Three O.O.O.O
The next day, no one was able to figure out who the demon was, and no one knew when Future Phoebe's premonition was going to take place.
"What if it's after we leave?" Future Paige asked Prue, worried.
"Then they'll be prepared and ready to fight the demon when he comes," Prue said, confident.
"Well, if they don't, you know Piper won't go back in time to save you. She won't want to. And she needs to," Future Phoebe said, almost as worried as her younger sister.
"Well, you guys could always handle it. It doesn't take The Power of Three to change the past. Just look at Chris and all that he's done," Prue said, gesturing to Chris, who was currently talking and laughing with Michael and Wyatt.
"Has anyone told him that he's still engaged to Bianca in our time?" Phoebe asked, looking from Prue to Future Paige.
"I don't think so. Maybe we should go get her," Future Paige said, shrugging.
"No. Chris can wait a week without knowing," Prue said, looking back at Chris along with her two younger sisters.
O.O
"Piper, I really think we should talk," Future Leo said, walking up behind Future Piper, who was doing some dishes in the kitchen.
Future Piper turned around. "Yeah, I think so too. I'm sorry for ignoring you, sweetie," she said, putting her arms around his neck and kissing him deeply.
"So you're back to wearing leather, I see," Future Leo observed, looking down at her and smiling.
Piper and Leo walked in just as Future Leo kissed Future Piper back.
"Oh no!" Piper said, staring at the two. "And you guys were almost normal, too!"
"Normal in your eyes," Future Piper said, wrapping a leg around Future Leo's waist and pulling him closer.
"Hello!" Piper said, her eyes going wide.
Future Piper pouted. "Oh, what's wrong?"
"I would never do that!" Piper said, staring at her counterpart like she was crazy.
"Sure you would. In the future, when you're not such a square," Future Piper said, smiling. "Hmm. That sounds like fun," she added, turning Piper into a child's play block.
"Piper!" Leo yelled, his eyes going wide, staring at the block. He stormed over to Future Piper. "Turn her back now!"
"Why? So she can spoil our fun again?" Future Piper said, freezing Leo and kissing Future Leo deeply.
Paige walked in, almost stepping on her sister. She picked up the block. "Has Wyatt been down here recently?"
Future Piper smiled. "Yes, he has. That's one of his toys. Can you take it upstairs for me? Thanks. You're a doll," she said before walking out with Future Leo.
Leo became unfrozen and took the block from Paige.
"Leo, are you okay?" Paige asked him, taking the block from him.
"That's Piper!" he yelled.
"What do mean 'that's Piper'?" she asked, knitting her brow.
"The block is Piper! Future Piper turned her into a block!" Leo yelled frantically.
"Okay, Leo, calm down," Paige said, turning Piper back to normal.
Piper looked around. "Okay, what just happened?"
"Nothing, Piper. Except your counterpart turned you into a block," Paige said, smiling. "And she tried to make me believe that it was one of Wyatt's toys. But I was too smart to fall for that."
Leo rolled his eyes and turned to Piper. "They are out of control. Worse than they were before."
"Well, yesterday, when that demon we were telling you guys attacked, he cut Piper -- Future Piper -- with one of his nails. And Prue said that that demon was what turned you guys into out of control teenagers," Paige said, sitting down in a chair at the table.
"Well, maybe that's how he turns people. By cutting them or something," Piper said, sitting down in a chair next to her.
"But, if that's all, how do we know what they turn to?" Paige asked, looking confused.
"Well, maybe he has a specialty. Some demons tap into certain parts of a person - fear, deepest desires. Maybe he's one of those kinds of demons," Piper said, glancing up at Leo.
"You might be on to something there," Leo said, crossing his arms.
"Now all we have to do is figure out what," Paige said, resting her elbow on her leg and her head in her hand.
"Maybe it turns them into teenagers?" Piper guessed.
"No. Remember that Prue said that your counterparts are still wonderful parents? You can't say that about many teenagers. Maybe he's another of those 'deepest desires' guys," Paige guessed.
Piper chuckled. "I don't think so."
"Well, maybe it's a different kind of 'deepest desires'," Paige said, shrugging.
"Paige, there's only one kind of 'deepest desires'. And we already figured out what mine was about a year ago. And how she acts and what my desire was are nothing alike," Piper said smiling like Paige was crazy.
"Well, what was your deepest desire?" Leo asked, looking interested.
"Oh, nothing important," Piper said, waving it off.
"She wanted a life without magic," Paige said, smiling up at Leo. "That's okay. I wanted a life with only magic. That was a hell of a world."
"Well, Piper, your desires could've changed by now," Leo said, sitting next to her.
"Or at least there's something else that could out-weigh that," Paige said, facing Piper.
"Well, maybe. Wait. Hold on a minute here. Why are we focusing on me? Why not him?" Piper asked, motioning to Leo.
"Because we don't know what Leo's deepest desire is," Paige said, looking curiously at Leo.
"Well, I highly doubt that either of our deepest desires are to be sex-crazed parents," Piper said, sounding a bit annoyed.
"Well, you never know," Paige said, not taking her eyes off Leo. "He is a male," she added, looking back at Piper
"You've got a point there," Piper said, nodding.
"Hey!" Leo said in offense.
"Well, it's true. Guys seem to think about nothing other than sex," Paige said, looking over at Leo.
"You know, it's a known fact that men think about sex every five seconds," Piper said, facing her husband.
"That's not true," Leo said, staring at them.
"That's what you want us to think, isn't it?" Paige asked suspiciously, narrowing her eyes at him.
"Can we just get back on topic here?" Leo asked.
"You just don't want to admit it," Paige said, smirking. "But, I agree. We need to figure this out."
"Why do we need to figure out what he brings out? Shouldn't we just concentrate on trying to kill the demon?" Piper asked, standing up and facing the two.
"Yeah. We're wasting time," Paige said, standing up next to her. "Leo, go check Up There. See if they know anything."
Leo nodded and orbed out.
"We should keep an eye on the boys. Just to make sure they don't get captured again," Piper said, looking worried.
O.O.O.O Day Four O.O.O.O
"So, you're sure that the elders don't know anything?" Future Piper asked Leo while flipping through The Book of Shadows, only them two in the attic.
"I'm sure," Leo said, sighing.
Future Piper looked from the book to Leo a few times, then walked over to Leo and sat on his lap.
"What are you doing?" Leo asked, staring at her.
"So, how many times do you and your Piper have sex a week?" Future Piper asked, ignoring his question.
Leo's eyes went wide and his eyebrows raised. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me. And it's a simple question, really," Future Piper said, leaning close to him and trailing her tongue along his jawline.
"I really don't think that's any of your business," Leo said, backing up on the couch and pushing her off gently.
"Oh, c'mon," Future Piper pouted, sitting on his lap again as Prue walked in.
"Piper, how many times do I have to tell you? If you want to sleep with someone, sleep with your Leo. Not the one from this time," she said, pulling her younger sister off of her brother-in-law's counterpart.
"But, Prue, my Leo's still sleeping," Future Piper whined.
"Exactly. He's already in bed. So go wake him up and you'll be set," Prue said, pushing her out the door. "I can't wait until we save you and my sister from that demon. Trust me, it's no picnic sleeping in the room next to her and your counterpart when they have sex god only knows how many times a day -- oh, and FYI, that's day and night."
Leo got up from the couch and wiped off his jawline, joining Prue next to the book.
"Of course, I can't really blame them. I blame that damn demon," Prue muttered, flipping the pages. She sighed and took a deep breath. "We all have to be careful around him, actually, or only god knows what can happen."
"I'm sure everything will be fine, Prue. We don't need to figure out who this demon is or what he does. We just need to have a spell and potion ready. So stop stressing yourself out," Leo said, closing the book.
Prue sighed. "I guess so." She smiled at Leo. "I really miss this you. The one full of advice and helpful comments."
Leo smiled back at her. "Well, hopefully, if everything works out okay, you'll get this me back."
"I hope so," Prue said, walking out of the attic with Leo.
O.O.O.O Day Five O.O.O.O
The next day, Prue yelled for everyone to come to the attic. Chris was the last one to walk in.
"I - I must be daydreaming or something," Chris said, smiling, walking over to Bianca slowly. "You - you died."
"Maybe she did before you saved Wyatt, but she's alive in our time now," Future Paige said, smiling. She turned to Prue. "I thought we were going to wait until we got back for him to find out."
"I just thought he'd be a lot happier if he found out sooner," Prue said, smiling at Chris and Bianca.
Bianca smiled at Chris and hugged him. "I've missed you so much. You've been gone forever," she said, staring into his eyes.
"I - I know. I'm sorry," Chris said, staring back at her, his eyes full of shock, happiness, amazement, and most of all, love. "Bianca, I love you so much."
"I love you, too, Chris," Bianca said, kissing him softly.
"You know, I'm not a big fan of her," Piper said, crossing her arms.
Chris looked over at her. "And why is that?"
"Chris, have you forgotten that she's that one that nearly killed you months ago and took you back to your time so Wyatt could have his way with you?" Phoebe asked, her eyebrows raised.
"Well, that was then. This is now," Chris said, turning back to Bianca.
"C'mon, you guys. We didn't mind him loving her when we didn't know Chris was part of the family. Why start now?" Paige asked, looking from Leo, to Piper, then finally at Phoebe.
"Because we didn't know he was my son back then. That's why," Piper said, staring at her and smiling.
"Exactly," Leo said, looking back at Chris and Bianca.
"But, guys," Chris said, walking over to them, his arms around Bianca's waist. "She's a great person. Wyatt had just sent her to get me. If it had been someone else, they could've killed me if they wanted to. But Bianca didn't because she loved me and she believed that there was another way to saving Wyatt."
"And you make this sound like it's all my fault," Wyatt said, sighing.
Michael raised his eyebrows. "It is."
"Oh, shut up," Wyatt said, hitting him upside his head.
"I'm sorry that you don't like me," Bianca said, looking down at the ground. Then she looked back up at the four. "But just remember that Chris changed the future, so Wyatt didn't turn me back to evil. But Chris did turn me good, even though my mother tried to prevent it."
"Can you guys at least give her a chance?" Chris asked pleadingly.
"Why are you asking them?" Future Piper asked, walking over to Chris slowly. "In three days, you won't see them ever again. So what they say doesn't matter. But what we say does."
Chris turned to her. "They are the people who decide if I'm allowed to date Bianca when I'm a teenager. That's why."
"Well, we did let you, either," Future Phoebe piped up.
"Why not?" Phoebe asked, confused.
"Because she's four years older than him, remember?" Future Paige asked, her eyebrows raised. "When she's eighteen, Chris will only be fourteen," she added, trying to make her point.
"I say," Piper started. "That we just go downstairs and enjoy our last couple of days together."
"Good idea," Phoebe said, already half way out the door.
O.O.O.O Day Six O.O.O.O
"You can't catch me!" Bianca yelled, laughing, running up the stairs in socks, Chris's boxers and Chris's thin, long-sleeved shirt the next morning.
"I bet I can!" Chris yelled, also laughing, pushing Wyatt against the wall and running up after her in socks, sweatpants, and a no-sleeve shirt.
"Chris, Bianca, if you two don't stop running inside the house, you're going to fall and break something!" Phoebe yelled up at them.
"That's why we have Dad and Wyatt!" Chris yelled back at her.
Leo shook his head. "I won't be healing you if you do get hurt! I'm going to let you suffer!"
Piper smiled. "No you won't."
"I can still make him think I will," Leo said, walking into the living room after her.
Bianca then ran back into the living room just as Chris orbed in front of her.
Chris grabbed her and started tickling her. "Ha! I told you I'd catch you!"
"You cheated!" Bianca laughed, pushing him away and running around the couch.
"A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!" Chris said, jumping over the couch and onto Bianca, starting to tickle her again.
"I swear, if you break my furniture . . ." Piper threatened.
"Just let them have their fun. They're young. They should enjoy it while they still can," Paige said from the doorway, smiling at Chris and Bianca.
"Chris, stop! You're making my sides hurt!" Bianca laughed, pushing him on the ground and running out of the room and back up the stairs.
Chris got up quickly and started to run after her, running into Future Leo instead, still laughing.
"Chris, watch where you're going. And stop running in the house!" he yelled as Chris starting running up the stairs again.
"Sorry, Dad!" Chris yelled, rounding the corner to the upper floor.
Future Leo sighed and shook his head.
"I don't think Aunt Prue should've brought her here," Wyatt said, walking into the living room after his father.
"Neither do I," Future Leo said, leaning against the wall.
"Well, I do. I think it's great Chris is in love," Paige said, sitting down on the couch, now that it was safe.
"Don't get me wrong. So do I," Future Leo responded quickly. "I just wish he -"
"Wouldn't run in the house, running into everyone and everything?" Piper finished for him.
"Exactly," Future Leo said, nodding.
"Now there's something we can all agree on," Leo said, smiling. "Finally."
Bianca then ran into the living room. Again laughing and screaming as Chris ran in after her, tackling her, pinning her to the ground, and tickling her like crazy.
"Give it up, Bianca!" Chris laughed. "I've already won!"
"Okay! I give! I give! But only because my sides are killing me!" she laughed back.
Chris smiled and got off her, looking around at everyone, chuckling nervously.
"Hi," he said as Bianca got off the floor, using his arm.
"Bianca, do you want to borrow some of my clothes?" Paige asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Nah, I'm good," Bianca said, looking down at what she was wearing.
"Are you sure? Because you're kind of wearing my son's clothes," Piper said, also raising her eyebrows.
"What's your point?" Bianca asked, still smiling and looking around at everyone.
"Never mind," Future Leo said, shaking his head.
"But she looks so cute!" Chris said, looking Bianca up and down. He motioned to her legs. "And it shows off those gorgeous, sexy legs of hers." He kneeled down, latched himself onto her left leg, and kissed it.
"You can deffinatly tell he was raised by sex-addicts," Piper commented as Leo nodded.
"He's never acted this way before," Paige said, looking over at the other two.
"Well, he's also never had his fiancee here before, either," Wyatt said, staring at his brother and his soon-to-be sister-in-law.
"Well, he has, but not just for fun. Only when she was capturing him to take him back to you," Piper corrected.
Bianca looked around at everyone and smiled even wider. "Let's go out for breakfast!"
Future Piper walked in in a pair of Leo's sweat pants and one of his short-sleeve shirts. "Who's buying?"
"Why is she wearing my clothes?" Leo asked suspiciously.
Piper smiled up at him. "Because she had nothing else to wear, and it seems to me that she likes wearing your things instead of her own."
"No, I have an even better idea," Chris said, turning to Bianca. "Let's make breakfast for everyone."
"Oh, no. No, no, no, Chris," Future Leo said, crossing his arms.
"Oh, why not, Leo?" Paige asked, facing him.
"Because last time those two cooked together, they got flour everywhere. And they were making grilled cheese sandwiches," Future Leo said, raising his eyebrows.
"W - Well, the flour . . . It was just sitting there," Chris said, smiling.
"And temptation got the better of us," Bianca said, laughing.
"If they're going to be making breakfast, they're going to need flour, because Chris and Bianca love making pancakes and waffles from scratch together," Future Leo said, uncrossing his arms.
"Fine. We won't make breakfast," Chris said, grabbing Bianca's hand and walking out of the room.
"I think you made him mad," Paige said, raising her eyebrows.
"That's normal," Wyatt said, smiling.
"So, are we going out to dinner or not?" Future Piper asked, looking around at everyone.
"Nope. I'll make breakfast for everyone," Piper said, getting up and leaving the room.
Then there came a crash from upstairs.
"They promised me they wouldn't break anything," Phoebe said, walking into the room.
"What makes you think they broke something?" Prue asked, walking in after her.
"Loud crash, sounding like glass. They're playing like children," Phoebe said, smiling and raising her eyebrows.
"Well, they stopped playing," Paige said, getting up.
"Who's up there at the moment?" Phoebe asked, starting to get a little worried.
Prue thought for a second and looked around. "Chris, Bianca, Michael, and your guys' counterparts," she said, looking at Phoebe and Paige.
"We could use a little help up here!" came Future Paige's distressed yell from upstairs.
"What's wrong?!" Prue asked, running up the stairs, everyone else running after her.
"A demon took Chris!" Bianca yelled, running up to them. "Do something!"
"Calm down, Bianca. We'll get Chris back," Paige said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
Future Paige, Future Phoebe, and Michael ran up to them, looking scared.
"Was it them same demon as before?" Prue asked, looking at the three each in turn.
"Yeah. It was the demon who came before," Future Paige said, looking around at everyone. "The one who wants Michael."
"The demon came before?" Michael and Wyatt asked in unison, looking around at everyone.
"And they want Michael?" Wyatt asked, looking at Prue. "Then why did it take Chris?"
Future Piper smiled. "Because he's more valuable than Michael. But, don't worry, sweetie. You're more valuable that Chris."
"It said that?" Michael asked, looking a bit offended. "Just because I'm the youngest . . . I mean, I do have the most powers, but no . . ."
"Michael, get over it. Once you think about it, it's a good thing. That means if it were just you and Chris or you and I in a room, demons would want to kill me and Chris over you," Wyatt said, staring at him.
"Sure. This coming from the guy who's the most valuable," Michael said, looking even more offended.
"Will you two just stop fighting for one second so we can figure out how to get your brother back?!" Future Leo yelled, facing the two, looking extremely pissed off.
"Yes, sir," Michael said, looking down at the ground.
"Sorry, Dad," Wyatt said, also looking down at the ground.
"Leo, don't yell at them. It's not their fault that Chris is missing," Future Piper said, putting her arms around Wyatt and Michael's shoulders.
"You're right," Future Leo said, looking back at his eldest son and his younger son. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, Dad," Wyatt and Michael said almost in unison, still looking downward.
"Couldn't Chris get himself away if Michael can?" Paige asked, looking around at her counterpart, her sisters' counterparts, and her brother-in-law's counterpart.
"No," Prue said, looking down at the ground.
"Michael's had more practice out of all of us," Wyatt said, looking up at Paige.
"And all the smart demons kept away from us, so when Wyatt or Chris was taken, they took me, too," Michael said, smiling slightly.
"It looks like we have our first smart stupid demon, then," Piper said, looking around at everyone.
Michael sighed. "Tomorrow's our last full day here. If - If we don't fine Chris by then -"
"We will," Future Leo interrupted.
"But if we don't -"
"Michael, we'll find him before then," Wyatt said insistingly.
"But if we don't -"
"Then we won't leave without him," Future Phoebe said, smiling at him.
"We promise," Future Paige added.
"Okay, enough emotional moments! We have a time traveler to save!" Prue yelled, running up the stairs that led to the attic.
O.O
Chris looked around his prison. His smelly, green, stoney prison. He could only hope that he wasn't going to be there for long.
The demon he had come to know as Taignao, being called that by the other demons that were there, walked over to his cell and smiled wickedly.
"In a way, your younger brother is more valuable then you or your elder brother," Taignao said, staring at Chris like he had something special planned for him.
"And why is that?" Chris growled back.
"Well, boys, this one has an attitude," Taignao laughed back at his comrades. He turned to Chris again. "Because The Third Son is so hard to keep in a prison. Whereas you are the simplest one. The First Son is hard to kill, because he has that force field. I'm just surprised that the demons who tired to kill you in the past didn't realize that. But I'm smarter. And I'm smart enough to know not to capture any of The Sons together."
"You may be able to break up the second Power of Three, but you'll never be able to break up The Power of Four," Chris spat.
"Maybe not. But that doesn't matter anymore," Taignao said before leaving with the others.
Then Chris could've sworn he heard someone orb in. But he looked around, and he couldn't see anybody.
"Great, Chris. That's just great. Now you're hearing things," he said, starting to sit down on the floor. But then one look at how dirty it was he decided pacing would be a better option.
"Wow, Chris, you're hearing things?" came Michael's voice. "Like what?"
Chris spun around and looked around the room, not seeing anyone there. "Michael?" Then Chris remembered that Michael could only use one of his powers at a time. "Who else is with you."
"Who else would be here?" came Wyatt's voice. "Michael, the goons aren't in here, so let go of me!"
"Sorry," Michael said, becoming visible and letting go of Wyatt.
"How'd you guys find me?" Chris asked, walking up to the bars on his prison.
Michael smiled and took a deep breath. "First Mom tried scrying for you, but that didn't work, so Dad decided to check with the elders again, and that didn't work, so Aunt Phoebe wrote a simple spell while Aunt Paige and Aunt Prue made a potion. Then they dabbed the potion on the scrying crystal and chanted the spell, and we were able to find you by scrying. So Wyatt and I -"
"Michael, do you ever shut up?" Wyatt asked, telekinetically undoing the lock on Chris's icky, smelly prison.
"Let me think about that for a second. Okay. No," Michael said, grinning.
"Michael, if Dad didn't tell us to not fight, I'd start arguing with you right now," Wyatt said, glaring at him.
"Can we just go?" Chris asked. Then he remembered something. "Guys, if we could orb out of this building, I would've done it a long time ago."
"Besides the invisibility power, that's why Michael's here," Wyatt said, grabbing onto Chris and then onto Michael's arm. "Do what you gotta do, baby brother."
"I will if you promise to never call me that around anybody else ever again," Michael said, turning his head to look at Wyatt.
"Michael!" Chris yelled, getting impatient.
"Fine," Michael said, making the walls explode around them, but looking seriously bored.
"Now we should be able to . . . orb. Where the hell are we?" Wyatt asked, looking around at all the rocks that were surrounding them.
"It looks like we're in the underworld, but how can there be a room inside of a room?" Chris asked, looking confused.
"Well, some demons are seriously demented," Michael said, cracking a smile. "Get it? Demons - Demented. Funny, right?" Chris and Wyatt just stared at him. "I guess not . . ."
"Can we just go home now?" Chris asked, looking around.
"Yeah," Wyatt said, trying to orb back to the manor. "Why can't I orb to the manor?"
"I don't know," Chris said, looking confused. "I can't, either."
"Me, either," Michael said, looking at them.
Wyatt tried to orb somewhere else, but failed.
"Is there anywhere we can orb?" Michael asked, looking worried. "Because I don't like it down here."
"We can orb somewhere else in the underworld," Chris said, smiling slightly.
"Not funny," Michael said, half-glaring at him.
"You guys, stop it. Maybe we can orb Up There," Wyatt said, looking from one to the other.
"It's worth a shot," Chris said, orbing Up There with his brothers.
"You know, I don't really like it up here, either," Michael said, looking around and shivering.
"Why not?" Chris asked, knitting his brow.
"It's too joy. And white," Michael said, looking down at his feet.
"I hope we can orb home from here," Wyatt said, trying. "Damnit. We can't."
"Why can't we?" Chris asked as Leo walked up.
"Why are you guys up here and not at the manor?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Because we can't seem to be able to," Michael said, shrugging.
"And now we still can't," Wyatt said, looking around for the first time.
Leo smiled. "I'll take you."
"Thanks, Dad," Chris said as he, Wyatt, and Michael all grabbed onto Leo as Leo orbed to the attic.
"I'm not even going to ask," Piper said, raising her eyebrows at the four.
"Ask what?" Michael asked.
"Why your father is with you," Piper said, walking out of the room.
O.O.O.O Day Seven O.O.O.O
"It's our last day here," Chris said sadly as everyone sat in the living room.
"Yeah, it is," Wyatt said, who was holding Baby Chris.
"Well, you three can always visit here anytime you like," Prue said, smiling.
"Yeah. We'll be glad to take ya," Phoebe said, smiling sadly.
"I just hope that you guys are ready to take on Taignao -- as Chris said -- when he comes," Future Paige said, sighing.
"We are. And we'll kick ass," Paige said, smiling at her counterpart.
"God, I've been here more than a year already. I'm really going to miss this place," Chris said, standing up and starting to walk around.
"You'll just be going back to the same old manor," Piper said, smiling. "Except it'll be older."
Chris smiled back at her. "You know what I meant."
Piper smiled sadly. "Yeah. I do."
"Well, let's not spend our last day together crying and think back to old times! That's for tomorrow," Paige said, standing up quickly.
"Paige's right. We should have fun together," Phoebe said, smiling.
"And let's not think about them leaving," Leo said, kissing the top of Piper's head.
"Okay," Piper said, getting up. "So what can we do?"
"Let's go to the zoo!" Bianca yelled, running out of the room.
"Now there's one person I'm willing to part with," Paige said, staring after her.
"You won't feel that way tomorrow," Chris said, raising an eyebrow.
"I will. Trust me. I will," Paige said, nodding.
O.O.O.O Day Eight O.O.O.O
Piper wiped a couple tears off her face, but it never seemed to make a difference. They just kept on coming, ignoring her will for them to stop.
"You better visit soon," she cried onto Chris's shoulder.
Chris smiled sadly. "I will. I promise I will," he said, turning to Leo, who had a couple tears flowing down his face every other ten seconds. "Bye, Dad."
Leo hugged Chris tightly. "I'm so proud of you. It took guts to come back and save Wyatt. And I'm so sorry for the way I treated you when you first got here."
"It's okay. You had a right to act the way you did," Chris said, wiping a few tears off his face.
"I can't do this. I can't let you three leave," Paige said, latching herself onto Michael's arm.
"Yeah. I agree with the insane woman," Phoebe said, earning a glare from her younger sister. "We barely even know Michael."
"Well, you'll get to know me. You just have to wait a while," Michael said, smiling slightly.
"I still can't believe I let them find out about you," Chris said, sighing.
"Well, I'm glad you did," Phoebe said, hugging him.
"Everyone done with their hugging? Good," Future Piper said as everyone nodded. "Because we have to go. Who knows how many things went wrong while we were gone."
Everyone smiled and laughed slightly as Wyatt, Chris, Michael, Future Paige, Future Phoebe, and Prue walked through the portal, all of them with tears on their faces.
Future Piper and Future Leo walked over to Piper and Leo as Phoebe and Paige left the attic.
"Take good care of them," Piper said, wiping off her face again as Leo put his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly.
Future Piper smiled sadly. "We will. I promise we will."
"I always knew that they had to leave as soon as I heard you guys were waiting there for them, but I never thought that it would have this much of an impact on me," Leo said, wiping away a fresh tear.
Future Leo sighed. "But they'll be visiting. I can promise that."
"How much?" Piper asked, looking up at them.
"I don't know," Future Piper said, sighing deeply. "But we can promise that they'll be visiting at least one weekend a month. We'll make them."
"You sure you guys can handle everything without The Power of Three for two whole days?" Piper asked, chuckling slightly.
"With The Power of Four we can," Future Piper answered, smiling.
"Yeah. I can't wait," Piper said, looking down at the ground for a second.
"Well, we should go. Wouldn't want to keep you guys from saving Prue, now would we?" Future Piper said, winking at Piper and walking towards the portal.
Future Leo followed her. "Thanks," he said, turning to look back at Piper and Leo.
"For what?" Piper asked, looking confused.
"For reminding us of how much we love each other," Future Piper said, putting an arm around Future Leo's waist.
Leo smiled. "Any time," he said, hugging Piper tightly again.
"And for reminding us that no matter what, we can work through anything," Future Leo said, looking down at his wife.
"Because we're soul mates," Future Piper said, gently kissing her husband.
Piper smiled and looked up at Leo, who was smiling down at her.
"Well, we really have to go now. Or the boys will kill us for getting extra time with you two," Future Piper said, smiling. Then she and Future Leo walked back through the portal.
Piper sighed. "I'm actually going to miss our counterparts. I mean, I hated them, but I'm going to miss them. Does that even make any sense?"
Leo nodded. "Yeah. Because I feel the same way," he said, walking out of the attic with Piper.
Piper turned around, smiled sadly, and closed the portal. Then she smiled at Leo and shut the door gently.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O THE END O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Okay, don't start freaking out, okay? I'm going to make a sequel if enough people want me to. And, knowing me, only, like, 5 people have to want me to for me to keep writing. But, don't you think this was a good ending? I mean, it was only a five-chapter story, but the fifth chapter was so fucking long! I mean, on AbiWord, it was 15 pages long, when usually my chapters are only 3 - 9! A part of me thinks that I should've chopped this chapter down into at least 3 other chapters. But, oh well. I don't have the time for that. Actually, I do, it's just that I don't want to. Well, anyway, please review! The more reviews I get, the better the chance there'll be of me writing a sequel! Ciao!
