Chapter ten – getting back from the future –again

"First of all what are we wearing, I wasn't wearing that before and you weren't wearing them? And secondly you're asking her to marry you?" Paige squealed in delight, "oh how sweet I won't get to miss it either because as I'm not here now – my future self anyway. Then my past self – well present to me but you know what I mean! I love engagements; hey where are you going? Are you not going to let me find out the answer?" she asked as they both walked off.

"Time must have changed our clothes; don't know why though and Paige you know the answer, you've seen her ring now come on we're not meant to be here and you being here could be dangerous; you could find out something that you're not meant to we have to get out of here now!" Chris said walking around the house trying to think of a way to get back.

"Why don't you just use that spell you used to get you to my present?" Paige asked thinking it was the most obvious answer.

"That would be great but it wouldn't work the same plus everything we need for it is in the house and we can't get in. We have to get out the way we came only I'm not entirely sure how we got here in the first place. That demon should have gone to the middle of the earth not here." Ashley answered leaning against the wall of the house.

"Well normally when something like this has happened it's because there is a reason; maybe you were sent back here to change something now before it happens; something that happened in your time from this moment until just before you came to my time!" Ashley lowered her head knowing what she had to do.

"It's the engagement; it wouldn't have took us back to this moment if it wasn't for that reason. Chris this is so screwed up; I love you but,"

"No don't say it; it's not our engagement there has to be something else – something we're just not remembering. What happened straight after you said yes?" Chris asked trying to remember.

"We were walking to the house when a demon attacked us; we vanquished him and then went to tell everyone our news, our news Chris that's it! We've got to keep our future selves from not telling everyone we're engaged; remember how everyone reacted and it caused those, oops can't say anymore in front of Paige" she said remembering she was there.

"Hold up maybe Paige should know; she's here with us for a reason and I don't believe it's just because she was there trying to help. I think that somehow we've got to get our minds into … well our minds so Paige can convince everyone."

"Wait can someone please tell me what you're talking about because I'm seriously confused," Paige said irritated.

"Okay but we've not go long to tell you this," Ashley started, "When we told you, Leo, Piper, Phoebe and Wyatt our news; lets just say it wasn't really celebrated. Everyone thought it was good news; well almost everyone. Piper was dead set against it, so was Wyatt and Leo agreed.

"They said that it was just looking for trouble and two people who were both magic should never get in a relationship because it's not an easy ride and they wanted life to be as normal for Chris.

"They didn't stop to think that he was old enough to make his own choices and that this is what he wanted so they gave him a choice – me or them. Chris didn't choose any; after all they are his parents and I wouldn't let him go leave them. But at the same time he didn't want to leave me and I didn't want him to leave so for the next few days life in this house pretty much sucked with no one talking to anyone else. That's one reason why we came to your time; we couldn't vanquish these demons anyway when everyone was strong and connected.

"But everyone was tired and fighting all the time; easy targets for the demons. We knew we had to do something so we'd stay up at night going over plans until we found the right one; and then we did the spell to send me back.

"Chris was meant to stay here to keep an eye on things; if anyone asked he was to say I had gone somewhere with my work." She finished and let it all sink into Paige who's eyes were watering, she couldn't believe that Piper would want to stop her son being happy and especially for falling in love with someone who was magical – she herself was married to their white lighter and broke the elders rules.

"I'll help; just tell me how!" she said smiling at them.
