Chris, Jordan, and Nicole were at the park passing a soccer ball between them, they convinced the sister's to let them get one and it seemed to keep them out of the house and out of the way. This time was different the many times that they had kicked the soccer ball around; this time could be their last. They were all silent except for the accessional sorry or I'll get it instead of the usual laughter that was in the air.
"We have to go." Chris said stopping the ball with his foot
"Why?" Nicole asked, she and Jordan ran over to him
"Phoebe called." Chris grabbed their hands and orbed them into the kitchen
"Hey. So how's it going?" Chris said a little hope in his voice
"Not so good." Paige answered
"What do you mean? What does she mean?" Chris started to get really worried
"We're running out of ideas." Phoebe answered
"Well, that's too bad because it has to happen today or I don't happen."
"Wait, today?"
"Yeah. I did the math. And if I'm not conceived by midnight tonight, that's it. I won't be born, which means I won't be coming back from the future to warn you about Wyatt turning evil."
"Yeah, see that time travel thing. Ooh."
"Hey, what about making a love potion and just, like, slipping it to them."
"No, we're not tricking your parents." Paige said
"Why not? I'm desperate."
"Aren't we all?" Nicole said, everyone finally noticed that the two were standing next to Chris holding his hands, Chris rapped his arms around and pulled them in close
"Hey, look, I have an idea. Call me crazy, but why don't we just tell them the truth?" Phoebe said hoping that they would listen
"Sure, let's give them a massive case of performance anxiety." Paige said sarcastically
"We're already out of options."
"And time." Chris added
"This is all too confusing my head is starting to hurt." Jordan said leaning closer into Chris, and then they heard a loud crashing noise coming from the other room
"Stay here." Chris ordered before he Paige and Phoebe left
"He has been saying that a lot lately." Nicole said
"I just hope it isn't the last time he says it."
"Hey, don't think like that I'm sure they'll find a way to fix everything."
"I just hope they're not too late." They sat down and put their heads in their hands staring off into space in complete silence.
"You know what?" Jordan said, breaking the silence
"What?"
"I think this is the longest amount of time I have gone without speaking."
"Yeah, I've been doing more talking then you for the past couple of weeks haven't I, surprised Chris hasn't said anything."
"He's been busy trying to save us."
"Still he normally notices the smallest change in us, especially you not talking, that is huge."
"Hey, Chris wants you upstairs." Leo said orbing into the room
"Thanks." The two jumped up and ran into the attic
"Hey Chris, what's wrong?" Nicole asked
"Nothing, I just want to spend as much time with you as I possibly can." He answered, "Come on we are going over to P3, I need to get some stuff from my room." He grabbed their hands and orbed out of the attic
"What are you still doing here? I thought you'd be out and about by now." Clarence asked surprising them
"Clarence, hey. Didn't hear you come up." Chris said
"Hi Clarence." Nicole and Jordan said trying to be cheerful
"Hello ladies." The two laughed, he always made them laugh, "You mind?"
"Please, come in."
"Beautiful day outside, isn't it? Clarence said trying to start a conversation
"Is it? I never really noticed. I've been too busy, uh, rechecking something."
"Whole world seems to be too busy now days. Nobody's got time to just enjoy their day anymore."
"Well, it doesn't get any better in the future, either. I mean, I imagine." Nicole looked up at him, wondering if he was going to blow their cover
"Future don't mean squat to me. I'm too old to worry about it. Shouldn't to you either. You're too young."
"Unfortunately, I'm kind of obsessed with it."
"Wait, shouldn't we be worried about the future, you know pollution and junk." Nicole said trying to aid Chris, Chris smiled slightly and shook his head
"You alright?" Clarence asked worried about him
"Yeah, yeah, I just probably need to eat."
"What you need is to get out of this hole. Get some sun, live a little."
"Believe me, I'm trying."
"Do that." Clarence left the room; Jordan went over to the door and closed it behind her
"That was close." Nicole said
"Yeah, come on let's go back to the manor and see if Paige and Phoebe finished the potion yet."
"Paige, I know, but there's only so much we can do. Especially now with that Darklighter out there. I just think that we have to face the reality that Chris's destiny might have been just to come here and warn us about Wyatt, and that's all." They heard Phoebe say as they walked into the attic
"Hey." Paige said, noticing them
"Oh my god, Chris, I'm so sorry." Phoebe said hoping that she didn't hurt Chris's feelings
"No, it's okay. I've actually been wondering the same thing." Chris said
"You have?" Paige sounded surprised, Jordan and Nicole looked at him a little funny
"Yeah. I've had the strangest feeling, like, I don't know, it's really hard to explain. But it feels like I'm, I'm floating, like I'm not really here, you know?"
"I know what you mean." Jordan said quietly, Chris looked at her very concerned
"Well, that doesn't sound good."
"Well, you have to fight it, we still have time." Paige said hoping to lighten the mood
"Not much." The scryring crystal stopped on the map and started to spin in its spot.
"I've never seen it do that before." Paige said
"Maybe that means there's more than one?I'll go get Piper." Phoebe said
"I'll go too." Chris added
"No, you stay here, okay. Finish the potion, when we come back your parents will be in the mood." Paige said to Chris, Paige and Piper were about to leave when they heard Jordan talking to Chris
"I don't feel so good." She said to him, he put his hand on her forehead
"You don't feel hot, what's wrong?" Paige and Piper came closer hoping that nothing was seriously wrong with the child
"I don't know I just feel weird and my stomach is bothering me."
"Do you want me to take her to their bedroom?" Paige offered
"No, I know what is wrong, but do you think you can bring me a blanket?" Paige orbed out and back in with a blanket, Chris lied Jordan down on the couch and put the blanket on top of her.
"Go to sleep." He told her as he kissed the top of her head; Nicole went over to the couch and sat down next to it on the floor.
"Will she be okay?" Phoebe asked
"Yeah, just go and find the darklighter I'll finish up here."
Chris worked on the potion, every so often looking over at Jordan and Nicole to see if they were okay. He was almost done when he noticed that his arm was slowly fading.
"Um… I think we should bring Jordan down to your room." He told Nicole
"Why?" she asked
"I'm done here, and I think you'll be safer in your room." He lied, he didn't want to worry Nicole about running out of time, he carefully picked Jordan up and walked into their bedroom placing her down on the bed and pulling the sheets up over her, "You stay here with her just in case she wakes up, I'm gonna go downstairs and see if Paige, Phoebe, and Piper are back."
"Hurry up!" Nicole shouted as he left the room, she turned on the CD player quietly and started listening to Sugarcult. Nicole looked over at Jordan, something looked different about her. She decided to go downstairs and see what we up with Chris and if they found out anything yet. Nicole walked all around the house looking for Chris, but couldn't find him.
"Have you seen Chris?" Nicole asked Paige and Phoebe who were in the attic
"No sorry, how is Jordan doing?" Phoebe asked
"She is still asleep."
"I wonder what is wrong with her." Paige said, Nicole shrugged her shoulders, just then Chris walked into the attic
"Sorry, I don't mean to be pushy but..." he said, he was nearly invisible
"Yeah, we're working on it, we're working on it." Phoebe said "Sweetie why don't you go back downstairs and check on Jordan."
"Okay." Nicole said and slowly walked out of the room, but she didn't want to face Jordan she couldn't so she paced around the floor hoping that something good would happen.
"Darklighters!" she heard Chris scream and she ran up the stairs, but there weren't any darklighters around.
"What was that about?" she asked
"Nothing." Chris said he didn't want to worry her any more then he had to, "Can I talk to you for a second over here?" Chris led Nicole over to a corner of the room
"What's up?" she asked
"You have to listen to me okay and promise me you will not argue with me." Chris said getting down to her level
"I promise." Nicole knew where this conversation was going
"I want you to promise me that you will tell the sisters everything me in the future."
"Chris don't think like that." she whined, Chris was scaring her
"Promise me that you will be good and you will listen to the sisters and try and finish what I started here."
"But Chris..."
"You promised you wouldn't argue with me."
"That was before I knew what you were going to say." Nicole's eyes started to fill with tears, "I love you so much."
"Me too." Chris pulled her into a hug
"Piper's not here anymore, I can't sense her." Phoebe said as Chris and Nicole went back to them
"It's too late, and not just for Piper and Leo. Take care." Chris said before he vanished, Nicole let out a sob
"Chris?" Paige asked, but it was too late. Nicole broke down into tears and cried; Phoebe ran over to her and held the child.
"Nicole we are going to go to Magic School to try and get Chris back, why don't you go downstairs and see how Jordan is doing." Paige asked, when Nicole's crying subsided
"No… I… I… wa…a…nt t…t…o go w…ith to you." Nicole said whipping away her tears
"But you should stay here with Jordan." Phoebe reasoned
"No I want to go with you!" Nicole nearly shouted scaring Paige and Phoebe
"Okay, then let's go tell…"
"No, I want to go now!"
"Alright, we'll go" Paige said and orbed them to Magic school
"Phoebe, Paige." Gideon said surprised to see them, Jordan walked away and lied down on a couch. She didn't want to talk to anyone or see anyone she just wanted to be alone and not have to worry about anything.
"I wish we were still in the future." Nicole moaned, she never thought that those words would ever come out of her mouth and she started to cry all over again. She must have fallen asleep because the next thing she felt so someone putting their hand on her back.
"Nicole." She heard Phoebe whisper
"Mhh." Nicole moaned and tried to push her away, but Phoebe only tried harder and eventually woke her up enough so Paige could orb them away. Nicole was only half awake and paid no real attention to her surroundings, she slowly started to pay attention and saw that Piper and Leo were back, but the next thing she saw surprised her. Nicole rubbed her eyes with her fists trying to wipe away the sleep from her eyes, but when she opened them she knew she wasn't sleeping.
"Yes! I'm back!" Chris said
"Chris!" Nicole shouted and ran into his arms, then Nicole pulled Jordan into a hug, Chris rapped his arms protectively around them happy that he was back.
Chris was sitting in Jordan and Nicole's room happy that he still had time to be with them.
"I'm gonna go talk to the sisters." He said getting up from Jordan's bed
"We'll come with you." Jordan said, she and Nicole grabbed a hand and they walked out into the hallway to see Piper, Phoebe, and Paige talking.
"Is this a bad time?" Chris asked, Piper looked over at him. Nicole and Jordan smiled at each other and then looked up at Chris who ruffled their hair.
