Chapter 14 – Saying Goodbye Is Never Easy, Part One

Chris, Paige and Gideon are all in the great hall at Magic School. Chris is up on a ladder.

"You know, your time travel section is due for a serious overhaul." He tells Gideon. "I mean, I can find more information Googling."

"Googling?" Gideon questions.

"Never mind." Chris steps down. "Any luck with that spell yet?"

"You mean since the last two minutes you asked me?" Paige asks.

"Look, I'm just getting nervous here, okay? My birthday is in two days, and if I'm not outta here before I'm born-"

"What?" Paige asks. "Something bad you don't know about could happen?"

"I just don't want to take any chances." Chris says. "I'm already messing with the system by taking Jamie home with me. Besides, I came here and did what I had to do, and that was to save Wyatt. Now it's time for me to go home." They both look to see Jamie, Piper and Leo walk in. Leo's pushing Piper's suitcase.

"Sooner than you might think." Paige says.

"Oh, no." Chris says worriedly. "No, no, no. Not yet. You're early."

"Oh, relax." Piper tells him. "I'm just getting a jump on things. I'm not in labor. I'm sending some stuff back to the house."

"Just don't scare me, okay?" Chris asks.

"What's the matter?" Leo asks. "Isn't the spell ready?"

"I think it's ready." Gideon says. "It should work."

"Should work?" Jamie asks. "What do you mean should work?"

"Well, there are no guarantees with time travel." He turns to Leo. "You should know that better than anyone." He says this a little sterner than he had hoped. They all stare at him. "Sorry. There's always a chance that something might go wrong."

"All right. We're not taking any chances." Leo says.

"Yeah." Jamie says as she walks over to Chris. "Maybe we should just stay."

"Jamie…" Chris says.

"I know. I know." She sighs. "We can't have to of you in one world. It would mess everything up. I just don't know if I'm ready to go."

"Jamie, we talked about this." Chris tells her. "The evil that got to Wyatt is destroyed. Everything is gonna be great when we get home."

"I know." She sighs.

"Do you not want to go with me?"

"Of course I want to go with you." She says. "Chris, I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I just don't want us to take any chances."

"We might have to." Chris says as he looks at his parents. "We're running out of time here."

"No." Leo says. "I'm not sending you guys through a one-way portal unless I know where you're gonna land."

"You can never be certain." Gideon says. "Unless, of course, you went too. "And even then…"

"All right." Leo says. "Let's just forget the spell and start to work on that potion again."

"But the spell has a better chance of working. It's the Power of Three."

"Yes, but if something goes wrong, they'll have extra potion with them and they can come right back."

"I agree." Piper says. "It sounds safer, so why don't you guys get to work on that?" She turns to Paige. "Paige, can you orb these home for me? Just squeeze them into the nursery or something."

"Nursery?" Paige asks.

"You did clean out the nursery, right?"

"Yeah." Piper stares at her. "No. I was working on the spell. I'm sorry."

"Well, you better hurry, or else Baby Chris will be sleeping in your room."

"Yeah, don't worry." Paige walks over to the suitcase. "I'm all over it." Paige orbs out.

"Don't forget diapers." Piper tells her as she's orbing out. "Lots of diapers."

"Okay." Chris says. "Gotta get outta here." He turns to walk away.

"Right behind you, sweetie." Piper and Leo chuckle as they walk back over to the books.

OOO

Later, Paige is in the nursery, trying to put together a bassinet. Phoebe walks in.

"Oh, look at how cute." Phoebe says as she walks over to the bassinet. "I remember when baby Wyatt used to fit in there."

"This is not cute." Paige says. "This is the bassinet from hell. Do you know how to put this together?"

"No, that would be a Leo thing." Phoebe tells her. "I still can't believe we're bringing home a baby." Paige sits down on the bed.

"Yeah, well, this baby's not gonna have anywhere to sleep."

"I know. What made us wait so long to do this baby room?"

"We were busy trying to keep Wyatt from turning evil." Paige tells her sister.

"Here, let me help you." Phoebe takes off her jacket.

"Yeah, which I'm glad we did, but it just means that he's gonna need a bedroom." Phoebe listens as she picks up the bassinet.

"Yeah, well, even if he was evil, we'd need another bedroom."

"Yeah, but now with everybody coming home plus one, we're a room short." Paige tells her.

"Well, I guess I can sleep on the couch." Phoebe says. "I just really think we need to focus on the baby right now."

"And on getting Chris and Jamie home." Paige says. "Oh, remember them? You know, the couple? The one you've been avoiding?"

"I am not." Phoebe tells her.

"Okay, so why weren't you helping Gideon and I with the spell?"

"Because I was helping Leo trying to find the burdock root. It was very hard to find. It's back-ordered everywhere." Phoebe puts the bassinet down. "You're right. You know what? We're just gonna get Chris a new bassinet." She sits on the bed.

"I'm gonna miss them too, you know."

"It sucks." Phoebe says. "I mean, I know they're going back to a better future and all. It's just… We're just getting to know him you know?"

"I know." Paige says.

"And what are we gonna do without Jamie?" Phoebe asks. "I mean, she been in our lives for thirteen years. We've watched her grow up. We've been with her almost her entire life."

"I know."

"And now… She's not gonna be here to watch Wyatt, she's not gonna be here to talk. She's not gonna be here to go to the club with… She's just not gonna be here."

"I know." Paige sighs. "It sucks."

OOO

Meanwhile, back at Magic School, Leo is in the Great hall, helping Chris get ready to go home. Jamie and Piper are in Piper's room. Jamie sighs as she sits down next to Piper on the bed.

"God, it's gonna be so weird." Jamie says.

"I know it is." Piper says.

"I mean, I've grown up with you guys." Jamie sighs again. "And now- Now I'm not gonna get to see it all happen."

"What happen, sweetie?"

"Wyatt growing up. Phoebe having the baby she saw in her vision… Just, everything." A tear runs down Jamie's face.

"Honey, it's gonna be okay." Piper says as she pulls Jamie into a hug.

"I know." Jamie sighs. "It's just- I love Chris. You know that. I love him more than I thought possible. But, I've been with you guys since before I can remember."

"I know."

"I mean, everything that's happened, good or bad, we've been there for each other."

"Yeah."

"I mean, when my mom died, I thought the world was gonna end. But then you, Phoebe and Prue kind of took me in." Piper nods.

"Yep."

"And then Prue died." Both Piper and Jamie grow silent. "And I didn't understand. I mean, what was the point? Why did so many people that I loved and cared about have to die?"

"I don't know." Piper says.

"But then Paige came into our lives. And things started to get good again. I mean, as good as a life where everyone tries to kill you daily can be." Piper laughs.

"I'm sorry your life has been filled with so much death, and badness." Piper says.

"It hasn't been filled with it." Jamie says. "I mean, there's been so much good in it too."

"Yeah, there has."

"I mean, I got to see you and Leo meet. Fall in love. Get married." Piper smiles. "And then I was there when you found out you were pregnant with Wyatt." Jamie smiles at this. "I got to see him be born. I got to take care of him." Jamie looks up at Piper. "I mean, how weird is it gonna be to go to a place where Wyatt's twenty four?"

"Yeah, but you'll have Chris." Piper tells her. "And pretty soon you'll have a baby of your own." Jamie smiles and touches her stomach.

"Yeah." There's a knock on the door and Chris walks in.

"Hey." He says. "The potion didn't work."

"What?" Jamie gets up and walks over to him.

"Me and Dad were gonna test out the potion, and when we threw it at the wall it didn't work. It was like there was a force field around it."

"Well, why were you and Leo trying out the potion without us?" Piper asks.

"Yeah, what if something bad had happened?" Jamie asks.

"Nothing bad hap-"

"What if you had gotten stuck somewhere?" Piper cuts him off.

"Yeah, what if you had gotten stuck somewhere and couldn't find a way back?" Jamie asks.

"And then you could've been in danger."

"You could've been in trouble."

"You could've died!" They both say this at the same time. Chris just stares at them.

"Okay, never walk into a room with two or more pregnant ladies." He says. "Lesson learned."

"We just don't want anything to happen to you." Jamie tells him.

"Where's Leo now?" Piper asks.

"He's talking to Gideon." Chris says. Jamie doesn't say anything. "What?"

"Nothing." Jamie says.

"Jamie…"

"What?" Jamie asks. "I'm sorry. I just don't completely trust him." Chris sighs.

"Okay, we have other things to worry about." Piper says. "C'mon, let's go see what's going on with Leo." Piper stands and they all walk out into the hall. They find Leo, who's walking towards them.

"Hey, I was just coming to find you." He says.

"Oh yeah?" Piper asks. "What's going on?"

"You need to get your sisters. We're gonna to the spell."

OOO

Later, Chris and Jamie are waiting for the sisters, Gideon and Leo in the Great Hall. Leo and Piper walk in with Wyatt.

"Where are Phoebe and Paige?" Chris asks.

"I'm sure they'll be here soon." Piper tells him.

"Soon?" Chris asks. "Soon is when Dad and us have to go."

"Dad?" Piper asks. "What do you mean?" She turns to Leo "Wait, you're gonna go too?"

"Just long enough to make sure they get where they need to be." Leo says.

"And when exactly where you gonna tell me about this?"

"I told him he didn't have to come." Chris says. "We don't need him."

"No. It's too dangerous." Leo says. "Remember the last time you went through a portal? You were almost dinosaur kibble." He turns to Piper. "I have to go."

"You're right. It is dangerous." Piper says. "But not as dangerous as leaving Wyatt alone while I'm in labor."

"I'll be back." Leo tells her. Gideon walks in.

"Sorry." He says. "I just wanted to go over the spell one more time, make a few tweaks."

"Tweaks?" Piper asks. "Let me see that." Piper takes the spell from Gideon's hands. Phoebe and Paige orb in.

"Finally." Chris says. "Where have you two been?"

"Sorry." Paige says. "We were a little, uh…held up."

"But we're here now, so let's get this show on the road, you know?" Phoebe says in a hurry. "The clock's a-tickin'. Tick-tock, tick-tock."

"Since when are you in such a hurry to say goodbye?" Piper asks.

"Well, since something happened with the thing, and the thing, with the thing." They all stare at her, confused.

"Huh?" Both Chris and Jamie say.

"There's a warrant out for Chris's arrest." Phoebe sighs.

"What?" Leo asks.

"Yeah." Paige says. "I tried to get Darryl to bury it, but he's not on our side anymore."

"This is bad." Chris says. "If I leave and they can't find me, they're gonna come after you."

"It's okay." Phoebe tells him. "We've been through worse. We'll get through this. We'll figure it out. And if you get back to the future and we're in jail, you just have to bust us out." They smile. "You just go back to that beautiful, peaceful world that you helped create." She and Chris hug. "I'm really gonna miss you."

"I'll miss you too." Chris says. Phoebe turns to Jamie, who has a tear in her eye. They both sigh, then smile.

"I don't know what to say." Jamie says.

"Well, then I then I think it's the first time in both of our lives that we don't have anything to say to each other." Jamie laughs. Phoebe walks over and hugs her.

"I can't describe how much I'm gonna miss you." Jamie tells her.

"I know." Phoebe says. "Just, go have that baby." She looks at Chris. "If it's anything like either of you, it's gonna be beautiful." Jamie smiles and hugs her again. Paige looks at the both of them.

"Aw. Here comes the huggin' part." The three of them all laugh. Paige hugs Chris, then turns to Jamie. They just look at each other and smile. "You know I love ya, James." Jamie nods.

"I know." Jamie tries to hold back tears. "I love you too." Jamie looks at Piper. Jamie walks over to her and hugs her.

"Thank you so much for everything." Piper says. "For taking care of Wyatt, for helping at the club, for… Being you." Jamie smiles. But doesn't say anything. "You're a hell of a girl, you know that." Jamie nods.

"Thank you." Piper and Jamie step away from each other and Piper looks at her son. She walks over to him and hugs him.

"Thank you for coming here." She tells him. "I love you."

"I love you so much, mom." Chris says. More tears fall down Jamie's face.

"Now go on." Piper tells them. "Hurry. You be safe."

"Thanks for all your help." Chris tells Gideon.

"You did a noble thing in coming here." Jamie bends down and hugs Wyatt.

"I'm gonna miss you, little guy." She tells him. "Just grow up and be strong. And feel free to give 'em hell once in a while." They all laugh. "You're one hell of a kid, Wyatt. Don't let that ever change." Jamie stands up and walks over to Chris and Leo. Chris looks at Wyatt and makes a shooting sound.

"Be good." He tells him. Chris looks at Jamie. "You ready?"

"No." She looks at Piper, Phoebe, and Paige. "I'm never gonna be ready." He smiles and takes her hand. They turn to the triquetra that is drawn on the wall. Piper, Phoebe and Paige look at the spell and begin reading it.

"In this place and in this hour, we call upon the ancient power, open the door through time and space." The portal opens. "Create a path to another place." Chris, Jamie and Leo walk into the portal. They walk through and look around. They see Piper, Paige and Phoebe. Paige has black hair, with bangs. Phoebe has a Mohawk, and standing next to them, with slicked back hair is Gideon.

"Where are we?" Chris asks.

OOO

Back at Magic School, Piper, Phoebe and Paige watch as a very different looking Chris, Leo and Jamie walk through the portal.

"I have no idea." Leo says.

"Something's gone wrong." Gideon says. "Don't let them leave." Leo pushes him backward into Phoebe, causing them to fall down. Chris makes a Darklighter's crossbow appear. He fires an arrow at Paige. Piper freezes it.

"Are you out of your mind?" She asks as she knocks the arrow down.

Leo turns to Chris and Jamie. "Follow me." They orb out in black orbs. Piper gasps.

"What the hell was that?" Phoebe asks as she and Gideon get up.

"I'm not sure." Gideon says.

"You're not sure?" Paige asks. "Chris just tried to kill me, and you're not sure? We were supposed to send him back to the future, not turn him into a Darklighter."

"Excuse me, people." Piper says. "Those were black orbs. Where did they get black orbs from?"

"Breathe." Phoebe walks over to Piper. "Breathe, Piper. You don't wanna go into labor yet." She rubs Piper's stomach. Gideon walks over to look at the triquetra on the wall.

"Well?" Paige asks.

"Perhaps the spell wasn't specific enough." Gideon says.

"Meaning what?" Phoebe asks.

"Meaning it worked, obviously." Gideon tells them. "It opened up a portal. Not to another time, but to another world. A parallel world, not just any parallel world, one that's the exact reverse of ours."

"Reverse like what?" Paige asks. "Reverse like evil?"

"Precisely." Gideon tells her. "You see, it's all part of the grand design. A universe destined to maintain balance. Light and dark, yin and yang, good and evil. For good to prevail in this world, then an equally evil world must also exist."

"Well, that's quite a faulty design, isn't it?" Paige asks.

"No, it's not Paige. Balance is everything. Without it, the cosmos doesn't spin."

"Are you telling me that when our Leo, Chris and Jamie stepped in there, their evil selves stepped out?" Piper asks.

"Yes. It's a mirror world. Whatever happens there happens here." Gideon tells them.

"So our Leo, Jamie and Chris are in their evil world." Phoebe says.

"Well, we gotta go get 'em." Piper says.

"You can't go get them." Phoebe says. "You're not going anywhere."

"Besides, what about those evil fellas that just came through here?" Paige asks.

"We'll go get them later." Piper says.

"Actually, I think you should go after them now." Gideon tells them.

"Why?" Phoebe asks.

"Because for every second that they're in our world, they risk throwing off the balance by doing something evil."

OOO

Meanwhile, Evil Chris, Evil Jamie and Evil Leo stand atop the Golden Gate Bridge. Evil Chris is drinking from a bottle of beer.

"You ever see anything so good?" Evil Leo asks.

"It's disgusting." Evil Chris says. "Can you believe all the liquor stores are closed in the mornings here? What's up with that?"

"Didn't stop you from kicking down the door to get in." Evil Jamie tells him. "Why didn't you orb in?"

"What's the fun in that?" Evil Chris says. Both Evil Jamie and Evil Leo laugh. Evil Chris takes another drink and drops the beer bottle over the edge of the bridge.

"Strange." Evil Leo says. "Everything seems the same, but kinda different, you know? It's cleaner, it's happier, it's more civilized." Evil Chris and Evil Jamie watch as a car crashes below them.

"Now that's what I'm talking about." Evil Chris says. Evil Jamie smiles.

"This place makes me sick." Evil Jamie says. "I gotta get out of here."

"Gives you guys an idea of what kind of awful, saccharine future I came from, why I had to come back and change it so bad." Evil Chris tells them.

"And I'll always be proud of you for that." Evil Leo tells him. "You saved Wyatt from turning good. You gave us a second chance. The least I could do is get you back to your future, back to evil."

"Thanks, dad." Evil Chris says.

"First we gotta get back to our world, though. We're gonna need the Power of Three to do that."

"Well, we can't trust those Pollyanna witches." Evil Jamie says. "They're too good."

"God, who do I have to kill so we can get out of here?" Evil Chris asks.

"I think I might know somebody, somebody we can use to force the sisters to help us." Both Evil Chris and Evil Jamie stare at him.

OOO

They orb to an alleyway where Darryl is. Evil Chris smashes a garbage lid over Darryl while Evil Leo holds him down. Evil Jamie just stands to the side and watches. After being beaten pretty badly, Darryl falls to the ground. Evil Chris tosses the lid to the side.

"What the hell's wrong with you?" Darryl asks. "I'm a cop."

"Pretty wimpy-looking one too, if you ask me." Evil Leo says.

"Nothing like our Darryl." Evil Jamie says.

"I think that's the cheapest suit I've ever seen." Evil Chris says. "What's the matter, huh? The girls not paying you enough?"

"Paying me?" Darryl asks. What has gotten into you? Evil Chris grabs him by the collar.

"Let's just say I don't like you coming at me in either world. He throws him across the alley. "This almost isn't any fun." Darryl points a gun at them.

"I don't care if you are under some kind of spell." Darryl says. "Come any closer, I'll shoot. I swear."

"Gun." The gun black orbs out of his hands and into Evil Chris' hand, he laughs. "Now this is fun." He points the gun at Darryl. Evil Jamie sighs and walks over to him.

"Chris, don't." Evil Chris looks at her.

"Why?"

"I don't know." Evil Jamie says. "Just something in my gut says not to kill him."

"We still need him for leverage." Evil Leo says. "He's no good to us dead. Not yet, anyway." Evil Chris sighs and hands Evil Leo the gun. Paige and Phoebe orb in behind them. Paige puts two crystals down.

"See?" Darryl asks. "This is the crazy-ass kind of stuff that makes me not wanna have anything to do with you people." Paige orbs out.

"Who are you talking to?" Evil Jamie asks.

"Us." They turn around and Phoebe kicks the gun out of Evil Leo's hands.

"That's not gonna stop us." Evil Leo says. Paige orbs in behind them.

"No, but…" Phoebe looks over at Paige as she puts down the other two crystals.

"…This will." Paige says watches as the cage activates.

"Son of a bitch." Evil Leo says. Both Evil Chris and Evil Jamie sigh. Evil Leo throws an energy ball and it bounces off the cage, causing them to duck.

"Nice firepower, Leo." Paige says. "I didn't know you had it in you."

"Don't go anywhere." Phoebe and Paige go to help Darryl. He gets up.

" Stay away from me." He says.

"Darryl, let us take you to Gideon." Phoebe says. "He can heal you."

"No! Stay away!"

"Darryl, please." Paige says.

"I said no, damn it!" Darryl says. "Leave me alone. I don't wanna have anything to do with you people anymore. Don't you understand?" He leaves.

"Well, I don't think that helped our cause any." Phoebe says.

OOO

Paige and Phoebe walk to the great hall. Gideon walks out.

" Did you catch them?" He asks.

"Yeah." Paige says. "Stuck 'em in a classroom, and, you know, they can't orb out of there."

"They are a little feistier than the real Chris, Jamie and Leo." Phoebe says. "I don't know how we're going to get them to cooperate."

"Hmm, well, I'm sure your evil counterparts are anticipating exactly the same problems since, other than morality, you're one and the same." Gideon says.

"How does that help us figure out what we're supposed to do?"

"Perhaps you should trade yourselves." They both stare at Gideon. "You go into their world, they'll come into ours. You can each retrieve your respective Leo, Jamie and Chris."

"Kind of makes sense." Paige says.

"And what about your evil counterpart?" Phoebe asks. "Will he be hip to this plan?"

"I have every confidence that he will be waiting there exactly as I am here." Gideon says. "But remember, good or evil, we're all after the same thing – Leo, Chris and Jamie returned and the cosmic balance restored."

"Get Piper." Phoebe tells Gideon. "We're gonna need the Power of Three."

OOO

Later, Paige and Phoebe walk through a portal into a much darker Magic School. No one is there.

"Okay, where is everybody?" Paige asks. "Isn't Piper supposed to be here?"

"This is weird. I don't think we should be here." Phoebe says. "We should get out of here." Suddenly an energy ball flies at them. They scream and duck. Evil Gideon walks up to them.

"What are you doing?" He asks. "You're not supposed to be here." Paige and Phoebe look back at the portal and watches as it closes.

OOO

After talking to Evil Gideon and walking around for a bit. Phoebe and Paige decide to go find Evil Darryl. They walk into P3, which is now a strip club. Evil Darryl is sitting on a seat getting a lap dance from a girl.

"Well, it looks like everybody's enjoying themselves." Paige says.

"Including Darryl." Phoebe says. "Ugh. Okay, juts remember, we're used to this."

"Right. Think mean. Think nasty." They walk toward Darryl. A man walks up to Paige. She pushes him down. They walk to Darryl. Phoebe clears her throat. Some officers block them.

"It's all right. Let 'em through." Evil Darryl says. Paige and Phoebe walk up to him. "I knew you'd show up sooner or later."

"How's Sheila?" Phoebe asks. He stares at her, she raises her eyebrows. Evil Darryl looks at the dancer.

"It's all right, honey. I'll be here all night." She leaves. "Sheila who?" He shows them his wedding ring and laughs with his buddies. They knock knuckles. Phoebe pushes Evil Darryl backwards She grabs a beer bottle, breaks it off, then puts it to Evil Darryl's throat.

"Leo, Chris and Jamie, where are they?" She asks. He doesn't answer. "Where are they!"

"Last time I saw them was at the police station." Evil Darryl tells them. "Me and my boys were trying to give Chris what he deserved. But Leo orbed him away. I've never seen him run from a fight before."

"Where'd they go?" Paige asks.

"If I knew, do you think I'd be here waiting for you? Where you been anyway? Undercover in the Underworld?"

"Why?" Phoebe asks.

"Bright, happy colors?" Evil Darryl asks. "Not exactly your style. Get away from me. I don't want Sheridan to see me with you. She's been all over my ass." Phoebe stands up and sees Evil Inspector Sheridan dancing on a pole. She bends back down to Darryl.

"Don't get up." She and Paige walk away.

"Now what?" Paige asks.

"I think maybe we're looking at this all wrong." Phoebe says. "Maybe we all are."

"Come again?"

"Well listen, if Darryl won't help Leo, Chris and Jamie because he's evil, then they'd have to go to someone who's good, right, to help them?"

"Okay, yeah, but who's not evil here? Where are the good guys? They hiding?"

"Yeah, in the Underworld." Paige stares at Phoebe. "Think about it. Reverse it. Who's good here?" Paige thinks about it for a second, then looks at her sister.

"Demons." She says.

"Right, and if I know Leo, he would have gone after the most powerful good demon there is."

"You're right." Paige says.

OOO

Meanwhile, Jamie, Chris and Leo are in the Underworld. It looks like a very peaceful place. Barbas, who is dressed in white, turns around.

"I know the truth of all your hopes because I can feel your greatest hope inside here, the hope that one day to return home." He says. Jamie and Chris look at each other. "Oh, and of course, your presence here gives me great hope, the hope that someplace there really is a different kind of world, a world where the greater good, the, uh, the goodness of the heart prevails." He walks past them, putting a hand on Leo's shoulder.

"Is he for real?" Chris asks.

"He must be." Leo says. "Demon of Fear in our world must be the Demon of Hope here." He turns to Good Barbas. "Question is, do you have enough power to send us back?"

"Oh, alas, no, I do not. Not if you were brought here by the Power of Three." Good Barbas says. "But, however, hope springs eternal, so I may be able to persuade the sisters of my world to help us simply by relying on their greatest hope, the hope to reunite with your counterparts, and then, maybe…" He waves his hand over Chris' face. "You will be able to return to your time before it's too late. Or…" He waves his hand over Jamie's face. "You will be able to be with Chris and have a healthy baby, as you hope." He starts to touch Jamie, but Chris slaps his hand away.

"Don't touch her." Paige and Phoebe orb in.

"Oh, thank god." Phoebe says.

"Quickly, orb away." Good Barbas says. "I will deal with them. I've done it before."

"No, it's okay." Leo says. "They're the good ones."

"Trust us." Jamie says. "They're not evil." Evil Phoebe and Evil Paige walks up.

"No, but we are." Evil Phoebe says. Evil Paige waves.

"Nice knuckles." Phoebe says. "Brass?"

"No, Tiffany's." Evil Phoebe says.

"Ooh, what a waste of a nice blue box." Paige says.

"What'd you say, witch?" Evil Paige asks.

"Okay look, we didn't come here to fight." Phoebe says. "We just came to get Leo, Chris and Jamie.

"Well, so did we." Evil Phoebe says.

"Fine." Paige says. "You give us ours, we'll give you yours."

"Right." Evil Paige says. "Like we can trust you. You're good."

"Wait, you can't trust us?" Phoebe asks. "Who are the evil ones here?"

"Come on, ladies." Good Barbas says. "Have some hope. We can work this out peacefully."

"Shut up!" All four of the girls say.

"We'll take care of you later." Evil Paige says. Both of the Phoebes and Paiges huddle on separate sides. They discuss their plan to take the other ones out. After coming up with a plan, Both Paiges and Phoebes turn around. Paige and Phoebe orb out and Evil Paige and Evil Phoebe black orb out. The orbs hit each other in mid air, sending each pair of sisters back, landing and reforming. They all stand up.

"That sucked." Evil Phoebe says.

"All right." Phoebe says to Paige. "I'll take mine, you take yours." Phoebe and Evil Phoebe step away. Evil Paige conjures a Darklighter crossbow. Paige gasps. Evil Paige fires at her.

"Arrow!" Paige says. The arrow orbs out. Evil Paige fires again. "Arrow!" The arrow orbs out. Meanwhile, Phoebe and Evil Phoebe are fighting each other, matching each other's moves. Jamie watches as this continues to go on. She leans into Chris.

"Okay, does this seem weird to you?" She asks.

"Uh-huh." He says.

"Good." She says. "Just making sure." Evil Paige fires again.

"Arrow!" Paige says. Evil Paige tosses the crossbow aside.

"Rock!" Both Paige and her evil counterpart say this at the same time. They each orb a rock and throw it toward each other.

"Look out!" Leo says. He, Chris, Jamie and Good Barbas duck as the rocks smash in mid-air. It falls down in the center. "This is nuts. No one can win. They're too evenly matched."

"Well, they think alike." Chris says.

"Bolder!" Both of the Paiges say. They orb a large rock. Leo, Chris, Jamie and Good Barbas run and take cover behind a group of rocks. The boulders explode on impact. Chris grabs Jamie and covers her from the rocks falling.

"We don't have time for this." Leo says. "I gotta get back to Piper." He turns to Chris and Jamie. "We gotta get you home."

"When Gideon said something can go wrong with the portal, I don't think he knew how wrong." Chris says.

"You said Gideon?" Good Barbas asks.

"Yeah." Chris looks at him. "Why?"

"Because just maybe he did know how wrong it could go." Chris and Leo look at each other.

"Bolder!" Both of the Paiges throw the boulders at each other and they explode, causing the pieces to fall on Leo, Jamie, Chris and Good Barbas.

"What do you mean?" Leo asks. "Gideon is after Wyatt?"

"He was desperately hoping to eliminate Wyatt." Good Barbas tells them.

"I knew it!" Jamie says. She looks at Chris. "I told you I didn't trust him. I told you!" Meanwhile, the Phoebes are still fighting. They fall to the ground. Paige and Evil Paige finally give up and walk over to the other. Their cell phones ring. They pull them out.

"It's Piper." They both answer their phones. "Hello?"

"Where the hell are you?" Piper asks. "I'm in labor, for Christ's sakes. Get your ass down here."

"Is she okay?" The Phoebes ask.

"She's in labor." The Paiges reply.

"Who's that?" Piper asks. "You've got an echo. What the hell is going on?"

"I'm on my way." Both the Paiges say. They hang up. Leo, Chris, Jamie and Good Barbas stand up.

"We have to go get Piper." Paige says.

"And Wyatt." Leo says.

OOO

Later, in the attic, the Paiges and the Phoebes chant a spell to stop Gideon from killing Wyatt. Gideon black orbs out. Evil Wyatt is sitting on the floor, crying.

"Wyatt, thank god." Both Phoebes take a step forward. They stop. Phoebe backs up and Evil Phoebe goes over to pick up Evil Wyatt. Chris, Jamie and Leo walk into the attic.

"Did you give that bad man Gideon those wounds?" Evil Phoebe asks Evil Wyatt.

"It looks like Wyatt can handle himself." Evil Paige says. Leo picks up the athame.

"Yeah, but for how long?" He asks. "Gideon's one of the most powerful Elders. If he wants him dead, he'll find a way."

"I can't believe it was Gideon all along." Chris says.

"I can." Jamie says.

"I don't understand why you could feel that he after Wyatt." Chris says.

"I don't know." Jamie says. "I didn't know he was. I just felt something in the pit of my stomach that he was up to something."

"And he's still out there." Leo says. "If he wasn't vanquished here, he wasn't vanquished in our world, either."

"So what we need to do is get everybody back in the right place." Paige says.

"Yeah, fix this whole nutty balance-" Both the Paiges look at each other. "Balance Thing."

"I'm with ya." Paige says.

"The problem is we don't have the Power of Three to open the portal." Leo says.

"No, but we do have…" Phoebe looks at Evil Phoebe.

"The Power of Four." The Paiges go to the wall. Evil Paige gives Paige a thick piece of white chalk. They start drawing the triquetra.

OOO

After saying the spell, Leo, Chris, Jamie, Paige and Phoebe walk through the portal to find Wyatt sitting on the floor.

"There's my brave little guy." Leo says. "Quick, the portal's closing. We gotta get their men back through."

"I'll get 'em." Chris starts to orb out, but Jamie stops him.

"We'll get 'em." Chris sighs, knowing that there's no point in arguing he grabs her hand and they orb out. "Leo picks up Wyatt.

"Hey, buddy." He says. "I got ya."

"Okay, so if Evil Piper's in labor, that means our Piper must be, too." Phoebe says. "We gotta get to the hospital."

"Okay, we have to get the bag." Paige says. Paige and Phoebe walk outside. The sun is shining and everyone is happy. "Okay, this is really strange."

"Hi, neighbor!" A man says. The lady next door, Mrs. Noble, walks over.

"Yoo-hoo!" She smiles. "Yoo-hoo, ladies! Yoo-hoo! I've been waiting for you."

"Mrs. Noble, hi." Phoebe says. "I was just coming out to move the car."

"Oh, I know. You're a busy, busy, busy girl!"

"Yeah, see, it's our sister Piper." Paige says. "She's in labor, and we're all a little crazy." The Patrol Officer and some neighbors come up to them.

"And I won't park there again, I promise." Phoebe tells her.

"That's right." The Patrol Officer says. "I know you won't." He takes out his gun and shots Phoebe. She falls back and Paige catches her. "Wrongs must be righted."

"Help!" Paige screams.

"Have a super day!" Mrs. Noble says.

"Help!" Paige screams. But No one listens. "Help! Somebody, help!" The Patrol Officer walks away. "Please, someone!" Mrs. Noble walks away. "Leo! Leo!" Everyone continues going about their day as Paige screams for help.
