Manor - hallway/in front of staircase - Future
A tour guide welcomes a group of people into the Halliwell Manor.
Tour guide - Welcome to the Halliwell Memorial Museum. A tribute to magic and, of course, the Charmed Ones. Please remember there is no digi-capturing, no holographing, and most certainly, no magic allowed while inside the museum. That's a big one.
Metallic discs appear behind the tour guide.
Tour guide - Don't worry about those probes, folks. They're merely scanning for witches.
The tour guide leads the tour group deeper into the Halliwell Manor.
Tour guide - Now, as we pass through the foyer, you note the family portraits hanging on the walls that date all the way back to the witch trials…
Chris and Bianca join the back of the group. Chris telekinetically waves the probes away.
Bianca - Nicely done.
The tour guide continues her tour as the group walks past exhibits into the conservatory.
Tour guide - Around you, you'll notice the many mythological creatures the legendary sisters transformed into in their demon-fighting heyday. Actually, the Charmed Ones were responsible for well over a thousand demon vanquishes before they were finally vanquished themselves.
The tour guide clicks a on a remote control in her hand.
Tour guide - Now, the time is 25 years ago. Imagine yourself standing here on this very floor when the Charmed Ones were reborn.
A holographic presentation takes place. At the end of the presentation, the crowd is frightened by the holographic Shax. The tour guide laughs as she switches off the presentation.
Tour guide - Scares them every time. Ok, let's head over to the kitchen where many of the sisters' classic potions were brewed. Some of which are available for purchase from the gift shop on the way out.
Everyone moves into the kitchen.
Tour guide - Of course the attic was the preferred spot for potion making -- principally because that's where they kept the famed Book of Shadows -- which is where we're headed next.
The tour guide leads the group out of the kitchen.
Tour guide - A little background on the Manor itself, it was actually destroyed years ago…
Chris and Bianca linger in the kitchen as the group exit the kitchen. A guard shimmers in behind them.
Guard - Hey, you two, move along.
Bianca - Wait for it.
An athame magically appears in Bianca's hand.
Guard - Are you deaf? I sa--id…
Bianca whips around and stabs the guard. Chris stares at her, unsure of how to react as she opens the basement door.
Bianca - Come on!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manor - Basement - Future
Chris and Bianca walk down into the basement of the Halliwell Manor.
Bianca - We should be safe here until the museum closes. Then, we'll go get the book. What's the matter?
Chris - Nothing. It's just sometimes I forget who you really are.
Bianca - Hey… Come here… You mean who I used to be, Chris. Before I met you.
Chris - So, what do we do now?
She looks at him seductively.
Bianca - We say goodbye…
She starts to unbutton her blouse seductively, they start to kiss; Chris getting the message loud and clear. The scene ends.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manor - Attic
Piper, Phoebe and Paige walk back into the attic.
Piper - We found Bianca. She's at her mother's, I presume.
Leo - Little Bianca? She's born?
Piper - No… well I don't know, but the one we want, I think. Here, orb this back to Chris, for something to remember her by -- or not.
Chris is lost in his own thoughts, he hasn't even recognized them yet.
Phoebe - Poor guy.
Paige - Ring, Chris' pocket.
The engagement ring lands safely back in his pocket.
Paige - Got the vanquishing potion, so after we orb over there, I'm gonna…
A gray shadow falls onto Piper, Phoebe and Paige momentarily. Leo doesn't see the shadow, for he is trying to find out why Chris is comatose.
Leo - You're gonna what?
Paige - I'm going to move into Richard's house.
Piper - Are you? Good for you.
Phoebe - That's a great idea. And I think I'm going to go check out what's going on in Hong Kong.
Paige - Cool.
Leo - Wait. Hang on a second. This isn't you, guys. You must be under some kind of spell. You have to fight this.
Phoebe - How can you fight your heart?
Piper - Or your hormones?
Paige - Yeah…
Phoebe - Will you drop me off on the way to Richard's?
Paige - I would love to!
Leo - Paige, Phoebe, listen to me…
Phoebe - Zai Jian.
Phoebe and Paige orb out.
Leo - Wait…
Piper gives Leo a determined nod and walks out.
Chris - still in his own memories, Chris repeats his line form the day he left - What do I tell them?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manor - Attic - Future
Chris and Bianca enter the Halliwell Manor's attic.
Bianca - Don't tell them anything. Just stick to your cover story. The less they know about the future, the better.
Chris - But what if they find out who I really am?
Bianca - They won't. Not as long as you can pass yourself off as their Whitelighter.
Chris - And you're sure I won't lose my powers when I go back?
Bianca - Yeah, not with this spell. That's why we need it. Look, just remember, protect baby Wyatt and you protect the Charmed Ones. Keep them alive for our future.
Chris - Great. No pressure there.
Bianca - Chris, you know you're the only one who can do this. You're the only one who can save us.
Chris - If I make it back…
Bianca - Baby, you have to make it back… If you want to marry me.
They kiss.
Chris - You really know how to motivate a guy, you know that.
Bianca walks over to the book, a hologram, but not before smiling warmly at Chris; when she reaches the hologram, she moves her hand through it.
Bianca - Sure you can summon the real book?
Chris - Yeah.
Bianca - Away from him?
Chris - Yeah. But we won't have much time once it gets here. His demons will be all over us.
Bianca - We won't need much time. Just long enough to send you back to them.
Bianca walks over to a wall and starts drawing the triquetra on it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manor - Attic
At the Halliwell Manor's attic, where Chris lies on the sofa, surrounded by his captor and Leo paces around.
Chris - still mumbling - Hurry, before he finds us…
Leo - this is what you get when you're an elder for to long - Paige, Phoebe, get back here right now. That's an order!
Piper, calling from down stairs calls Leo's name.
Leo - Yeah.
Piper - calling up - Wyatt's sleeping and the monitor is in the kitchen.
That catches his attention, he orbs down.
Leo - Okay, Piper, but you can't go anywhere. What about Chris?
Piper - Wish me luck!
She walks out the front door. Leo sighs and orbs back to just be met by Bianca's left leg. She kicks him unconscious. She turns to Chris.
Bianca - Come on, we're going home. - she releases him from the crystals - Hello, Chris. - she waves her hand in front of his face; noting - Oh my poor baby. They've drove you comatose. You promised.
Chris - mumbling, but answering - And I still promise. Just remembering.
Bianca - Oh, well that's better.
Bianca shimmers out, taking Chris with her.
