AN: thanks to reviewers, IcantthinkofaFnick, darkdestiney2000, Magical Princess, pyhp, Faith-charmer, Chris Drew Lover, Alexandra-Halliwell, and triquetraperson
IcantthinkofaFnick: Oh, I know coo-coo people can be adorable. Some of my friends are like that. But there is definitely a limit. People who are seriously hyper so therefore you thing their crazy is one thing. People who start literally losing their mind are an entirely different thing. That's sort of what Wyatt was doing in your story, which is why I've been hesitant to read it. Not that it wasn't a great idea, but it creeps me out sometime. Thanks for the review, and I'm sorry if I offended you
Faith-charmer: Yeah! I have a follower! Finally, someone who's smart! I swear to god, I dislike people who like Chris and Bianca together, because of too many reasons. One, she is too damn old for Chris. And it's not that I just disagree with the whole older woman, younger men thing. I mean, older men and younger women is just as wrong. Oh well. Thank you for agreeing with me. I'll look out for your story
Chris Drew Lover: Maybe I'll make the worlds unbalanced ... I'll have to think about it.
Darkdestiny2000: No, Wyatt did not plan on sending Chris to the other world. That's what you were asking, right? Nah, the stupid potion is really going to backfire excessively
Alexandra-Halliwell: Nah, it shouldn't change the way Chris looks at Leo. I mean, he knows something's up. But he might be a little paranoid
triquetraperson: Actually, Chris just can't look scary. But Leo was a little creepy. Thanks for the review, keep it up!

CHAPTER ELEVEN
Paige placed the bottle beside Piper next to the couch.
"Thanks Paige," Her older sister said, taking the bottle and placing it to Baby Chris's mouth.
"No problem. It's the least I could do. I mean, you're going through such a difficult time. I feel so bad -."
"Paige, stop. It isn't your fault that Leo ... became an avatar."
"I know, but still -."
"We'll be fine," Piper said. She turned to Paige, and smiled, but it was stressed. "Where's Wyatt?"
"Phoebe took him out for some ice cream. You know that if there's anything you need, I'll get it."
"No, it's fine," Piper said, shaking her head. "I just wish I understood why we couldn't fix it. Why did they have to take him?"
Paige sat next to her on the couch. "There wasn't anything we could do, honey. He's too far gone now," She said sadly.
"I know. But he tried to kill you!"
"That wasn't him, and you know it," Paige replied.
Piper sighed. "Wasn't it, Paige? We both know he's been getting increasingly worst. I mean, what if Leo turning causes Wyatt to turn?"
"Brody said we should just try and take it easy. It's a lot to handle," Paige said.
Piper shook her head. "I just can't," She said.
Paige wrapped her arms around her sister. "Don't worry, honey. We'll bring him back. Being an avatar doesn't make him evil."
"Cole was an avatar. That's how he turned back time."
"Yeah," Paige relented. "But we'll save Leo. I know we will. All we have to do is try. If that doesn't work, we try harder."
Piper laughed forcefully. "I hope everything turns out alright."
"Everything will turn out fine," Paige said as she got up. "I think I'm going to get a sandwich. Want one?"
"Sure," Piper replied.
Paige stretched and then strutted into the kitchen. She made her way to the fridge, but before she could open it, a giant portal appeared behind her and pulled her in.
Good World, Past
Wyatt took a hesitant step towards the portal, when someone came flying out, smashing back against the wall.
"Oww," She groaned, clutching her head.
"That wasn't supposed to happen," Wyatt murmured to himself.
The figure stood and looked around. "Ugh, what just happened?"
"Aunt Paige? What are you doing here?" Wyatt asked, confused.
Paige narrowed her eyes at him. "Wyatt? Are you evil?"
"Why would I be evil?" Wyatt demanded, looking confused.
Paige waved him off. "Never mind. Where am I, the future?"
"Actually, we're in the past," Wyatt said.
"We? Is Chris here too?" Paige asked. She looked around. If they were in the past, that must mean she was still in her time. So what happened to the attic while she was downstairs?
"Well, evil Chris is," Wyatt replied.
Paige's head swiveled to meet Wyatt's gaze. "Evil Chris? Geeze, you save one nephew from evil, and the other one turns on you. Are you here to try and stop him from turning?" She asked.
Wyatt blinked. "Aunt Paige, what are you talking about?" He asked.
"Fill me in on what's going on, and then we'll get Piper and Phoebe," Paige said with command.
Wyatt stared at her with confusion. "Uh, Aunt Paige, If I'm in the past, then so are you."
"What are you talking about? Alright, let's go get Piper first. She's downstairs with baby Chris. Phoebe took baby you out to get ice cream," Paige explained, heading for the door.
"Hey, hold up. Did you just say baby me? Something tells me you're not the Aunt Paige I thought you were. What year do you come from?" He asked.
"2004. Isn't that the year we're in?" Paige demanded.
"Uhh ..." Wyatt said. "Not exactly." Before he could say more, there was a ripple throughout the room. Wyatt braced himself, and Paige quickly held onto his arm as time reversed itself. Once it stopped, she blinked.
"What just happened?" She demanded.
"Uhh, the sisters are home," Wyatt attempted to explain.
"Well we'll get them and fix this," Paige said. She started for the doorway.
"Aunt Paige, stop! They don't even know who you are!" Wyatt cried.
Paige narrowed her eyes at him. "What?"
"We're in 1997. Or at least around there. Mom, Aunt Phoebe and Aunt Prue just got back from traveling to the future."
Paige wrinkled her forehead in concern. "You mean the future where Piper and Leo are divorced, and they have a daughter?" She asked. Then realization hit her. "Hey, do Piper and Leo still get divorced?"
Wyatt looked at her with surprise, then hid it. "Sorry, future consequences," He explained.
"You're beginning to sound like Chris," Paige said. "Future consequences this, future consequences that."
Wyatt smiled a little, but then frowned. "Wait, you've talked to Chris?"
"Uh, cocky and neurotic nephew from the future, about this tall with brown hair and green eyes? Yeah, I've seen him," Paige said. "It's been a while though. What with Gideon and all. Leo did say that he's moved on."
"Moved on!?" Wyatt demanded incredulously. "Since when is he dead!?"
"Well isn't that why you're here? Wait, why are you here?" Paige demanded.
"Chris and I messed up with a few potions. The one that brought you here was supposed to take me back to wherever Chris went."
"Didn't you say Chris was evil?"
"Well, the Chris who's here is evil." Wyatt said. Then his eyes lit up. "Wait, if where you come from Chris is already born, then you must know about the parallel world!"
Paige looked sad. "Yes. That was when Chris died."
"Chris is not dead," Wyatt said. "I think he's just lost in that other world. The two switched."
"Okay, I am so confused. Let me get this strait. You're from the future we fixed, right?"
"Future ... you ... fixed?"
Paige frowned. "You mean we didn't even tell you about Chris, evil you, world seriously messed up?"
Wyatt took a shocked step backwards. "I was evil?"
"Then you are from the future we fixed. And we never told you about other Chris. Great, way to go Paige, totally blabbing the big secret to your nephew. Piper is going to kill me when you get home."
"Alright, explain to me what's been going on," Wyatt said.
"Alright. Umm, twenty-three year old Chris came from a future where you were evil. He helped us to change that future so that you don't dominate the world. But in the process, he was killed. The day he died, was the day that we went to the other world. Gideon – an elder who had originally been the cause of you turning – had switched the potion that would bring Chris to the future to a spell, and Chris and Leo went to the other world, and their evil selves came here. We cast a spell to go back into the other world to get Leo and Chris, where we found out Gideon was after little you. We were put under a spell – a side effect from spending too much time in the other world – and Chris was left alone with little you. Gideon came and stabbed Chris with a non-healing knife. We tried to save him, but he was killed. Leo – err, your father – killed Gideon. Then he went on this whole psycho path, until now, where he's an avatar, and tried to kill me. But you probably knew this already."
Wyatt's jaw stood open in awe. "Dad was an avatar?"
"You mean he's not anymore?" Paige asked brightly.
"Err ... no. He's an elder, who is more like a whitelighter. So if this other Chris died when he was twenty-three, does that mean that our Chris's fate is to die then, too?"
"I hope not. How old is your Chris now?"
"Sixteen."
"Well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there," Paige said with confidence. "Right now tell me what kind of potion you made. We have to get evil Chris and good Chris back before the world gets all crazy again."
"Right. Uh, the ingredients are over here," Wyatt said. He pointed to the table, and then stopped. "At least they were. When time reversed itself, it must have put the ingredients back."
Now there was no potion to try and go by. Paige shook her head. "No wonder you messed this all up. And you're supposed to be the twice-blessed one," She joked.
"Hey, I'm the best potion maker in the house. And they do work, just not the way they're supposed to." He stood up strait and stared a head. "Potions are not play things. They are very complicated substances that must be taken very seriously," He recited.
Paige laughed. "Where did you learn that?"
"You lecture it all the time at school," Wyatt replied. Then he groaned. "Maybe I should just kill myself now."
"Don't worry. It's not like telling me a few good things could change the future," Paige replied.
"Any little change could change the future," Wyatt told her.
"So, us being here could change the future?" Paige asked.
"Pretty much, yes. I don't know how long it will be until they come up here, but I'm not getting caught again," Wyatt said.
Paige raised an inquiring eyebrow. "Again?" She asked with interest.
"This isn't the first time we've been to the past," Wyatt admitted.
Paige considered this, then shook her head. "Never mind, I don't want to know. Let's just make a list of the ingredients you remember using, and then we could -."
"You could what?" Wyatt asked.
"We could try and fix the potion. Quietly, of course – the others can't find out that we were here," Paige said wisely.
Wyatt grinned. "I should have called for you to begin with. You were always the smart one," Wyatt said.
"Glad to hear that some things don't change," Paige said. "By the way, who's your favorite Aunt?"
"Nice try."
"It was worth a shot," Paige said. "Okay, paper and pen!"
A sheet of paper with a pen orbed into Paige's outstretched hand. She set it on the table, and quickly made a list of the things Wyatt told her he had used. Once finished, the two looked it over.
"Well here's a problem. You should have used Laurel leaf instead of rose petals."
"Okay, so we switch it?" Wyatt asked.
"That would be a good idea," Paige said. She quickly crossed off ROSE PETALS, and replaced it with LAUREL LEAF. "That should help things out. Now you said you used Grimm dust, and that originally was what set off the potion."
"Well I put a bunch into this potion because the whole jar had gone into the potion we were working on," Wyatt explained.
"What potion were you working on?" Paige asked.
"One of the ones you used to try and vanquish Uncle Cole the third time," Wyatt said distractedly as he peered over the list. Paige had caught what he said, though, but then decided not to comment on it. Wyatt may lie to her about future events.
"Okay, which one?"
"The one you titled Vanquish #4 in your notebook."
"Right. I remember that one very well - I was really proud of it. So we should get to work on making the time travel potion, and then we can go to magic school and find Gideon. He should have some sort of idea how to get there, seeing as he's been communicating with his other self for enough time," Paige said bitterly.
"We can't work here. The sisters will notice," Wyatt replied.
"Alright, I'll orb us out," Paige said. She took Wyatt's hand, and prepared to orb. After a minute, she frowned. "Why isn't it working?" She asked.
"Well your past self is still here. And she did have your powers, though they weren't very active," Wyatt explained. "I'll take us." He focused, and blue and white orbs swallowed the two up
...
And then they reappeared in the room. "What's going on?" Wyatt wondered out loud.
Evil World
Chris and Cole stared ahead. "So, you're sure that they won't be able to dark orb, right?" Chris asked.
"That's what the spell should do. None of your family members will be able to get to you – past, present or future," Cole replied.
Chris relaxed onto a smooth rock. "That's a relief. Now I just need to find some way to get home," He said. He ran his hand through his hair nervously.
"We could check with the other elders," Cole suggested.
"Is that really a good idea?" Chris asked. He shifted a little. "If you're good, then all the demons we've killed are good too."
"But they're good. We won't harm you," Cole replied.
"Yeah, yeah. It's just weird. I mean, I'm used to you, because you're my Uncle!" Chris exclaimed.
"I am?" Cole asked.
"Uhh, sort of. It's really complicated. Anyways, could you just forget that I said that?" Chris asked hopefully.
"What were we talking about?" Cole asked, with a knowing grin.
"Thanks. Anyways, I guess if I'm going to get home, I'm going to have to face the other elders, right?"
"Right."
"Okay, but don't question me if I start to get nervous. These people have most likely attempted to kill me," Chris said. Cole nodded.
"I understand," He said.
