O.O

Hey, you guys! Thanks for all of the reviews I received! And to answer a question, everyone in the past is upset to the news that Prue is going to die. But they're trying to stay a bit happy for Leo and Piper. And, besides that, they're just trying to enjoy the rest of the time that they have with her. You know: looking at the bright side of the things, staying strong, trying to not let the news bring them down and keep them from doing their jobs.

Anyway, on with the story!

Past Consequences:

Chapter 7: Back Home For Us; Future For Them

Chris was pacing. "This is so screwed up."

Wyatt's eyes were wide and he looked upset. "But I would never . . . I mean, Chris . . . he . . . I wouldn't . . . I love him . . . I wouldn't . . ."

Piper put a hand on his shoulder. "I know, sweetie. That was in an alternate universe. We know that you would never hurt Chris. So calm down. Because that wasn't you."

"Does this mean that Chris's gonna die on his twenty-third birthday?" Wyatt asked, looking from Piper to Leo and back at Piper again.

Piper looked down at the floor and Leo sighed deeply, putting his head in his hands.

"Oh, that's just great! I'm gonna die in six and a half years!" Chris said, throwing his hands up in the air, surrendering to his fate.

Piper looked up at him. "No, sweetie, you won't. I promise. We - We won't let you."

Past Leo walked in. "I have some news. I already told Piper and Phoebe. Well, my Piper and Phoebe."

"What is it?" Prue asked, looking over at him.

"Prue, do you need to stay in this time for any reason?" Past Leo asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Why?" Prue asked, walking over to him.

"Because they're making us go to their time. Lots of bad things are happening in their time without the power of three there. And they still need Piper and me. So whoever's in the house gets transported to their time."

"Well, I think it would be better if everyone went, because then you'd know that you're all safe," Phoebe said, looking over at them.

(An: I just read over chapter 6 [me reading over my stuff usually means skimming for information that I forgot about. And, right now, that's what it means.] and I realized that Cole basically just disappeared. So, uh, he left the room when Past Phoebe, Past Piper, and Past Leo left the room, okay? Just work with me here. Because obviously I wasn't paying attention when I wrote the last part of chapter 6.)

"Well, but then they also have the chance of dying in our time because of the witch trials," Piper said, looking unsure. "And I don't want that to happen."

"I think we should take the chance and all go," Prue said as Past Piper and Past Phoebe walked in, followed by Cole.

"So, we're all leaving?" Past Phoebe asked, looking around. She looked over at Phoebe. "Am I still the same size?"

Phoebe smiled and nodded.

"What about me?" Past Piper asked, looking over at Piper.

"Basically. I put on some weight after I had the boys, but I worked it off," Piper said, smiling. She looked over at Leo, Cole, and Prue. "Leo, you're still the same size. Cole, you're the same size as Wyatt -"

Wyatt's eyes went wide. "Mom -"

"- And, Prue, you're the same size as Paige. As long as you don't mind wearing things like that."

Prue looked over at Paige and smiled. "Not at all."

"So, how are the rooms going to work out?" Prue asked Piper just before everyone there got knocked out.

O.O

Two hours later, everyone awoke at the same time and looked around, Dan staring at the with wide eyes.

Piper looked up at Dan and smiled. "Hey, Dan. We were in the past."

Dan nodded. "I was wondering where you guys went."

Past Leo glared at Dan.

"Oh, stop it," Piper said, hitting him. "He has a wife and two kids."

"Are those, uh, your guys' past selves?" Dan asked, looking at Past Piper, Past Leo, and Past Phoebe.

"Yes, they are," Prue said, getting up. "Hey, Dan. Nice to see you again."

Dan dropping the bags that he was holding. "Prue?"

Prue smiled. "Nice to know that you recognize me."

Chris looked around and smiled. "It's so nice to be home. I'm going up to my room and playing my favourite CD," he said before orbing out.

"Groceries?" Piper asked, picking up the bags.

"Um . . . Y - Yeah. Groceries," Dan replied, still staring at Prue. "Wow. You're supposed to be dead."

"Aw, how flattering," Prue said sarcastically.

"Um, rooms assignments," Piper said, setting down the bags on a table. "Um, well, Phoebe and Paige, if you two don't mind, Phoebe and Prue can share your house? Just so the Phoebes are together and Paige and Prue can hang out more."

"Sure," Phoebe said, shrugging.

"That sound okay," Paige said, smiling over at Prue.

"Works for me," Prue said, smiling back over at Paige.

"And you two can share the extra bedroom here," Piper said to Past Piper and Past Leo.

"You mean, you two are actually going to sleep in the same bed? I'm impressed," Paige teased, motioning to Piper and Leo.

Piper gave her a shut-up-before-I-hurt-you look.

"What about me?" Cole asked, looking around at everyone. "It wasn't my choice to be here, you know. I would've gladly stayed back in the past, but the white lighter decided not to tell us how long we had."

Piper looked over at Phoebe with a pleading look. "Phoebes . . ."

Phoebe sighed. "Piper, we only have four rooms. Just like you."

"Well, Prue and I can share a room, you can have your room, Prue can have her room. and Phoebe and Cole can share a room. Problem solved," Paige said, shrugging.

"In the Prue that shares a room with you, you were talking about . . ?" Prue asked, her eyebrows raised.

"You. Unless you want to have your own room. In that case, Phoebe can share a room with her daughter. Or Prue can stay at Jason's," Paige said, shrugging.

"No. It's okay. I don't mind sharing a room with the sister I never knew. Well, get to know. As long as you're not like Phoebe," Prue said, smiling.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Past Phoebe and Phoebe said in unison.

"Well, you kick," Prue said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Dan looked around. "Um . . . I - I gotta get to work. Phoebe, Paige, Phoebe, Prue, uh, C - Cole, do you need me to drop you off?"

"No. We brought our cars," Phoebe said, sighing.

"Cars? How can you guys have cars for invisible houses?" Past Piper asked, looking around.

"Invisible cars until we summon them," Piper said, smiling.

"Well, of course," Past Piper said sarcastically, smiling back.

"We better go," Phoebe said, Paige, Prue, Past Phoebe, and Cole following her out the door after putting the spell over themselves (yes, even Prue and Cole. Daryl told people that they were magical, too.)

"Well, um, bye," Dan said, leaving.

"This is so screwed up," Piper said as a blast came from upstairs.

O.O.O.O.O
