A/N~~ Hey! Okay, this is my first Charmed fic, and I'm not exactly sure where I'm going with this(even though I have the end figured out), but it's going well so far...please review, constructive criticism is welcome, but no flames please! And if you like Angel or Lord of the Rings, you're welcome to read my other fics! Hehe...advertising...~~

Disclaimer~ I don't own Charmed, they belong to whoever made it up....I do wish I could own Chris though...but I don't, so please don't sue!

Chris walked out the store, a bag flinging at the end of his arm. Why he still didn't orb from that place even he didn't get. Everyone in the store knew about angels and witches and demons and all that, so why did he still insist on walking home? Who knew. Maybe he liked the scenery. Or the exercise did him good. Yeah, that must be it, he thought as he walked down the street. I don't get out enough. He strolled around the corner, still lost in thoughts, though they came to an abrupt end.

He collided heavily with who ever had been walking the other direction. Upon the impact, the entire contents of the bag Chris had been holding spilled out onto the concrete of the sidewalk.

Aware that what he carried was not what people saw every day, Chris hurriedly bent down and started fumbling around, trying to gather up as much as he could.

To Chris's disappointment, the other half of the little accident quickly bent down to help him gather his stuff up, apologizing quickly, words streaming out like a fast-flowing river.

Chris was too concerned about not letting anyone see what was in his bag to notice whoever was trying to help. She, on the other hand, was still talking.

"I'm really sorry, I'm such a klutz, I hope nothing in there was fragile, and if it was, hopefully it wont be broken. I apologize, really, it was my fault, I wasn't watching where I was go-"

Chris looked up sharply at the stop of her blabbering, afraid that she had finally noticed something weird about the bag's contents. Indeed, when he looked up, he saw a woman in her early twenties, her brown, wavy hair flowing down below her shoulders as her bright green eyes stared in amazement at a small container in her hands. If he hadn't been so worried his and the sisters' secret would be revealed, Chris would have found the woman quite attractive. But, however, he was afraid that he and the sisters' secret would be revealed, so any thoughts of flirting or hooking up were automatically pushed aside.

"Um, I..." Chris started, lightly gesturing at the small vial.

"Where did you get this?" the woman asked in a British accent, her eyes wide with amazement.

"Well, it, um..." Chris said, as he once again tried to put together a comprehensible excuse.

"I've been looking for a store that will sell better quality Archangel root, but none of the shops I usually go to have any!" she said widely, gesturing to the small contained in her hands.

"You....what?" Chris said, now unable to come up with anything to saw for lack of understanding of what had just happened.

The woman bent down a bit closer, careful not let anyone hear her.

"The Halliwells aren't the only magical people in San Francisco, Chris," she whispered, as if talking to someone who had gone mad, which was close to what Chris looked like at the moment.

"You....wait, how do you know my name?" Chris said, regaining a bit of his composure.

He was perfectly sure he hadn't told the stranger his name yet, because one, he barely ever told a stranger his name, two, he had been too absorbed in gathering his things when he had first met her to say anything, and three, he had been a babbling idiot from the minute he had finally looked up and he was sure he had not mentioned anything about being named Chris.

The woman's eyes widened a bit more, making them seem as if they were growing.

"Oh," she muttered, looking like a child who had just done something bad. "You haven't told be your name yet, have you? No, no I guess not. I'm sorry, I tend to mix up times sometimes. It usually throws people off, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to freak you out or anything-"

"Okay," Chris said, holding up his hands to stop her before he got even more confused. "What are you talking about? You mean you already knew my name? Have we met?"

"Well yeah, I mean, no....I mean yes, I already knew your name, but no, we haven't met...it-it's complicated...you see, I knew we were going to meet...and I really wasn't suppose to say that, it was actually suppose to go normally...you know, a nice, casual meeting, which leads to others things, you know? Oh goodness, I just screw it all up. Yes, thank you!" she said, looking up at the sky with a look of utter exasperation of her face.

And all this time, all Chris could do was stare at this strange new acquaintance with wide eyes and a gaping mouth, still kneeling down on the sidewalk with magical ingredients sprawled around him.

The strange girl lowered her gaze from the sky and looked apologetically at Chris.

"I'm blabbing again, huh? Sorry about that its just kind of complicated you know, the difference between the present future and the future future and the changes that keep happening, and sometimes just knowing about can get you confused, because it's all tied together, so you have to deal with knowing the smallest thing you do could change it all and now it... and I'm doing it again, aren't I?"

Chris nodded slowly, still staring wide eyed at the girl. For a few seconds, she stared back at him, and they just stared at each other, the girl in an apologizing sort of way and Chris with a look of blank and profound incredibility. Soon, however, he got back enough of his senses to speak again.

"So....what are you saying? You see the future or something?" he asked, still looking partly confused as he started to gather the spilled contents of the bag again.

"Yeah. Glad I didn't have to explain that much, that part usually gets me the title of 'weird psycho girl'," she said, smiling awkwardly. Chris cocked his eyebrows, amazed that she hadn't figured out that was her already-given title yet. Suddenly, as he was pondering how he could escape this girl without seeming rude or offensive, Chris realized the meaning of what this girl had just said.

"Wait, so you're saying you're a seer?" he asked, astounded that he hadn't realized it yet.

"Um, isn't that what you just got through saying? I'm not going to have to explain it, am I? Because the whole process type thing if kind of complicated to explain, and I don't even get it completely, so that's even harder, so I-"the girl started, frantically running her bright orange fingernails through her hair.

Chris waved his hands lightly to quiet her.

"No, no, no, I get it, but that means you can see the future at will, right?" he asked, his mind racing with the possibilities.

"Well, actually, its just there, it's not like I can just turn it off. It's like a never ending movie, you know? You can rewind, forward, watch a couple of scenes over and over again, but it'll always be there, and it wont ever go away..." she explained, with a slightly exasperated note in her voice.

Chris smiled slightly, nodding slowly.

"You know, I should be getting home. Why don't you come along? That's probably why you ran into me in the first place, right?"~~
