Past Consequences:
Chapter 3: Unwanted Information
"Well, aren't you so sweet?" Cole asked dryly, half-glaring at Chris.
"Thanks. Everyone thinks so," Chris said dryly back, glaring at Cole.
"Okay, you two, that enough," Phoebe said, pushing Chris in Past Piper and Past Leo's direction and Paige in Prue's direction. She smiled back at them. "Get to know each other while you still can." She looked back at Cole and stopped smiling.
"We got divorced?" Cole asked, frowning.
"We got married?!" Phoebe asked excitedly, smiling widely.
"Well, they're quite a pair, aren't they?" Past Piper asked Leo, smiling.
"You can say that again," Leo said, smiling back.
Phoebe smiled. "Yes, we got married. It was great . . . for a while," she said, losing her smile. "Then, yes, we got divorced. But, the good news it, I met Jason. But, then I lost him, too, didn't I?" she added, looking at the wall and frowning.
"It was his fault," Piper said, breaking away from looking jealously at Past Piper and walking up behind Phoebe.
Phoebe smiled. "Well, the good news is that I have a daughter now!"
Past Phoebe smiled. "That's great! What's her name?"
"Prue. After our late sister," Phoebe said, smiling.
"Oh, that's so sweet," Prue said, walking over and hugging Phoebe.
"Well, I couldn't just let your memory die," Phoebe said, hugging her back.
"Wait a minute. I just remembered something," Past Piper said, sitting down on the couch. "How can Prue be dead, Leo and I still be married, and have two sons?"
"What do you mean?" Past Leo and Leo asked in unison, staring at her with confused expressions.
"Well, when Prue, Phoebe and I went into the future a few months more than year ago, in 1999, Leo and I were divorced, we had a beautiful little girl, and Prue was still alive," Past Piper said, looking up at the two.
"Well, we changed the future by saving the innocent and not punishing the guilty," Phoebe said, sitting down next to her. "If we didn't, I'd be dead right now, Piper and Leo would be divorced and making their daughter live at both their houses, and we wouldn't have Wyatt and Chris. We would still have Prue, but that's the only bad thing about it. It's the only thing we had to sacrifice. I mean, would you rather you and Leo be divorced in eight years?"
Past Piper smiled slightly. "No, I wouldn't. And, obviously, I get two handsome boys in the process, and I gain a sister," she said, smiling at Paige, who smiled back.
"I'm glad the future changed, too, because I was able to find out that I have three sisters, not just two. And because now I have to boys instead of just one girl, who would probably be about Wyatt's age right now," Piper said, sitting down next to her counterpart.
"But, unfortunately, there are witch trials in session," Leo said, sighing.
"What?!" Past Phoebe, Past Piper, Past Leo, Prue, and Cole yelled almost all in unison.
"Yeah. My friend Jeremy died because of them," Chris said, looking sad. "He was half witch, half mortal."
"And they're also trying to figure out a way to kill whitelighters, because they were exposed, too," Paige said, frowning.
"How did this happen?!" Past Piper screeched, standing up quickly and starting to pace around the room.
"Honey, calm down," Past Leo said, pulling her over and holding her close.
Piper sighed and looked sadly at the two. Leo noticed this and looked down at floor.
"Darryl betrayed us," Phoebe said, hugging herself and looking down at the floor. "He got really mad at us back in 2004, but he promised that he'd keep our secret. But, then Sheila was murdered by a demon in our house in 2014, and he told everyone he could. Pratt got word of it and now he's the one running it. Again. Like it was supposed to happen."
"So, are you guys on the run from him?" Prue asked, looking around at them.
"Yes," Piper said, nodding. "But we have an invisibility spell over our house, so it looks like nothing is there. Paige and Phoebe have it on the house they share, too. And Prue, Chris, and Wyatt go to school at the magic school. And when we have to leave the house, we say a spell so we don't look like ourselves. But it only works once a week for an hour."
"We can't even go to the store without being in danger without that spell," Chris said, staring at the floor. "We hired someone to bring us whatever we need if it's important and we already used the spell."
"Who?" Past Phoebe said, looking interested.
Piper smiled slightly. "An old friend who moved away a long time ago, but then moved back when I called him and told him that I was a witch. He rushed right back," she said, smiling a bit wider."
"And that would be?" Past Piper asked, encouraging her to go on.
Piper smiled over at her. "Dan."
"Dan?" Past Leo asked a bit angrily, glaring at nothing in particular.
Piper laughed slightly. "Yeah, that was Leo's reaction to my idea, too. But he began to like Dan, and is okay with it."
"How do you run P3, then?" Past Piper asked, looking around at all the future people.
"I don't. Actually, Dan does," Piper said, looking down at the ground. "But I go in once a week to see how everything's holding up. That's usually where Leo, Phoebe, Paige, and I spend our hour. Or Paige, Phoebe, and Prue spend it at the manor. Dan knows what we look like when we're under the spell, so he hangs out with us when we're there."
Phoebe gasped and her eyes went wide. "Prue! Prue's all by herself at the house!"
"She'll be fine, Phoebe. It's not like they're going to fine her," Paige said, walking over to her and putting an arm around her shoulders.
Phoebe ignored her and looked up. "Okay, elders, you made the rest of us come here, so give me my damn daughter! Or I'll have someone orb me up there and I'll kick your asses! Don't think I won't!"
Then next thing they knew, Phoebe disappeared.
"I'm guessing they sent her back," Piper said, looking over at Leo.
"Yeah. They said that they could send one person back. But only one. The rest of us have to wait it out," he said, nodding.
"Well, at least she doesn't have to suffer by seeing Cole anymore," Chris said, smiling and shrugging.
Past Piper sighed. "Well, it's getting late, so we might want to get some rest," she said. Then she looked around at everyone. "Um . . . since there's only four rooms (An: I think I got that right. I got that information from the season finale. It's either four or three, but I'm going with four to make this easier on myself.), Phoebe (An: Past Phoebe will now be Phoebe since the other Phoebe is gone for good. She'll only be in the last chapters, I'm guessing) and Prue can share a room," she looked over at Piper and Leo, "you two can have Phoebe's room, Chris and Wyatt can have the other room, and," she turned to Paige, "do you -"
Paige smiled. "I don't mind the couch."
"Actually," Leo said, looking from Piper, to Past Piper, the at Paige. "I'll take the couch and Piper and Paige can share that room."
"I think that would be a better idea," Piper said, nodding.
"No. I'm taking the couch. If you two are going to start getting along, you two should finally start sharing the same bed again," Paige said, sitting down on the couch.
"Are you saying that one of them sleeps in the extra bedroom?" Past Piper and Past Leo said almost in unison, turning to stare at Paige.
"Yeah. I do," Leo said, looking down at the ground.
Past Piper raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly, looking up at Past Leo. "Well, this just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?"
Past Leo sighed. "You two are sharing that bed."
"Okay, okay. No need to get pushy," Piper said, walking into the downstairs room, Leo following her after a minute.
"I have to share a room with him?" Wyatt asked, his eyebrows raised, pointing at Chris.
"Don't point. It's not nice," Phoebe said, lowering his hand.
"Yes, you are. He's your brother," Past Leo said, crossing his arms.
"Fine," Wyatt sighed, heading up the stairs, Chris following close behind.
"And I have a better idea," Phoebe said, stopping Prue from going upstairs. "Prue and Paige can share the room, and I'll sleep on the couch. I want the two to get to know each other."
Paige smiled at her. "Thanks, Pheebes."
"It's no biggie," Phoebe said, smiling, pulling Paige off the couch and sitting down in replacement.
Past Piper smiled. "Well, it's off to bed. Night, guys," she said, taking Past Leo's hand and walking up the stairs.
Phoebe smiled at Cole after Prue and Paige had followed Past Piper and Past Leo. "Now we can stay up as long as we want together."
"You are bad," Cole said, sitting next to her and kissing her deeply.
O.O.O.O.O
Okay, chapter 3. I decided to be nice and give you guys one more before I leave. I'm leaving on Saturday the 10th and getting back Wednesday the 28th. So, if I don't update on the 9th, you guys won't get an update until the 29th. Sorry, guys. I would really like to update while I'm in Oklahoma, but I doubt I'll be able to.
Oh, and this chapter, well, I know it's interesting, but I was just typing whatever came to mind so you guys could have a chapter before I left. I like it, though. But I had to keep changing facts because I realized some of them didn't go with each other. Like, first I had it so no one could even leave the house in their time, but then I was like, 'Then how would Piper of left in the first chapter?'. So, yeah, I had to change a few things. Oh well. It was worth it. And, don't worry about Phoebe's disappearing act. The elders really did send her back to her own time so she could be with and protect her daughter.
Anyway, review please! Ciao!
