IcantthinkofaFnick: I'm just super happy you didn't threaten me in any shape or form in that review. Lol. And that u reviewed. Means a lot. Lets both agree that we love each other's styles and both think of ourselves as not worthy. (Well I do anyway) You'll just have to read on to find out what's gonna happen. Oh and I hope ya don't mind, I used the cookie thinggie u use – you know that Piper makes cookies. Hope ya don't mind. Can I appease you with one of the cookies?
charmedtomeetyou: I wouldn't want you to pull the guns out on me either! LOL. As you can see I haven't ended it there. Hope you enjoy the outcome. Thank-you for reviewing. Which it seems you did twice…WOW! Or has got it wrong. Either way thankx a bunch!
Fire Gazer: Thank-you for reviewing :)
bunk64: Seriously cheesy – I agree, but it was that or, "Chris has died". Which would have been the whole chapter. I think that the latter was just a tad too harsh. Glad u liked it. Thanks for reviewing.
Nikki14u: Your review had me in fits of laughter! Oh apart from the sugar induced coma thinggie….I suggest you don't do that. Call me crazy but I don't think that that would be a good thing to do. Lmao. Thank you for reviewing. Oh and just to be sure, I'm going to take those cookies from you. Wyatt needs them more that you do. Lol.
phoebe turner: Glad you like it Thanks-you for reviewing.
Good Witch: Well technically he didn't die that quickly, due to the fact that if it were real it would have taken ages for it to take hold of his system, and pancreatic cancer is very deadly. Plus I need a way to end this – but not just yet. Thank-you for reviewing, hope you're not too sad.
SJSASA-16: Thank-you for your review. I've been captured by the homework demon and the revision demon keeps jumping in too. Hope this wasn't too long for you to wait – but if it was I hope you can understand that it really wasn't my fault.
dark angel5221 – Glad you liked the fic.
charmed4eva1990 – Thankies! Soz haven't updated sooner – exams and stuff, but here's the next chappie! Hope ya like it.
Thank-you all for reviewing again. Glad to see there wasn't too many threats. Lol. Hope this chapter is too your liking. I've made up some elder names and stuff, coz I can't actually remember any elders so don't tell me I've made mistakes, coz this fic is au anyway.

Chris felt his breathing becoming laboured and the slowly decreasing till he felt no more pain. Slowly he drifted out of his body and could see Wyatt holding himself very tightly. Ok…That's a little weird. Just before he was to continue his journey he whispered, "I'll always love you." and with that he was truly gone from this world.

Wyatt sobbed till he could no more. Turning around he thought he'd heard Chris speak…but that wasn't possible…was it? Kissing his very still brother once again, he walked, instead of orbed, downstairs. When he'd reached the living room Piper collapsed onto the floor in floods of tears. Wyatt ran towards the woman, remembering his promise to Chris.
"He's gone to a better place now mum. I hate it too." Mother and son enveloped each other, both calming each other's pain, both keeping their promise to Chris.
Leo and Paige orbed straight to his room. "Déjà vu." Paige whispered.
Leo opened the door and saw the peaceful look on Chris' face which he hadn't seen in a long time. "We need everyone to come and just pay their respects. It can help the healing process to occur." Paige rested a hand on her brother-in-law's shoulder.
"Leo, you don't have to be strong for everyone. You can lean on us for once."
"NO! I can't and I won't. I've let Chris down again. Twice in his life. But why did we have less time with this version. He fought for the peaceful world that we now live in, and fate deals these cards out to him?" Looking up towards the elders he laughed, "Oh I just cannot wait to hear this one." and with that he had orbed up there. Paige had tried to stop him, but had been thrown back towards the ground.
"DAMN IT LEO! Don't do anything stupid. I think Piper and Wyatt would truly die inside if anything happened to you."
Slowly walking out of the room she made the call to the hospital and began on the funeral arrangements.

"Hello Christopher. Welcome to, what your family called 'Up There'. You're death was regrettable, but necessary. You see, you've led a full and good life so you've been upgraded to the status of whitelighter. In time you may even be come an Elder."
Chris looked at the guy as though he were on crack. He'd just described his death as though it were nothing. As though he'd lived a long life and that his last moments hadn't been in pain. "Look, I just wanted a chance like my father had. He's lived a second life that was brilliant, and I wish to do the same."
Andrew stepped forward, "You're father's case was original and we can't guarantee the same well happen to you or if we'll even allow it to occur. If you go over to Marnie she'll fill you in. I would help, but I've got a meeting at two o'clock."
Chris stared at the blank spot where Andrew had just stood. He'd just died and now was a fully fledged whitelighter where apparently meetings took place? He'd just crossed into the bizarre. Looking over to the double doors he saw a woman with waist length blood red hair and the most piercing emerald eyes he'd ever seen.
"Marnie I'm guessing?"
Marnie giggled, "You guess right. So, how'd you die?"
"Always this straight forward or am I just lucky? Na it's alright, cancer got me. I know, how lucky was I? So what got you, I mean you don't look much older than I am?"
"Road accident four years ago. But somehow I've done enough good to be elevated to this plane. And no, I'm not much older than you. I'm eighteen."
Chris' demeanour seemed to droop a little, "My brother's eighteen."
Marnie put an arm around the new whiteligher. He was so young and sometimes she just hated this job. "I know, I know. You see, I had a little brother. David, he was ten and I also miss him a lot. As well as my mum. It was just us three, but you have to try and move on Chris. It'll take time, and no one expects you to forget them but there is no way you can make contact with them – not even Leo."
Chris looked at Marnie. She was really beautiful – like an English rose. Her long red hair framed her smell heart shaped face which was too beautifully shaped to be merely called good-looking. "I know, but I just need to tell him not to worry. That it wasn't his fault, that I'll be ok. My mum will already be trying to summon me and I want them to have peace of mind. Either I do it and risk being recycled….or…or you could help me." Chris perked up a little, "Please Marnie, I know we just met, but...but could you get a message to Leo. Please."
Marnie watched the newest member to the team and hated herself. She knew that she would end up caving. He had the most beautiful glass green eyes she'd ever seen, and knew that once he'd read twenty-two years of age that he would look even more alluring. "Making no promises, but I'll try. Don't go smiling at me or I'll backhand that smile off you're lips."
Chris scoffed, "And there was me thinking that whitelighters were passive and peace loving. Shame on you missy….But Marine…Thank-you."
Putting on hand on his shoulder she spoke, "Come on young one. There is much to learn before you meet your first charge. A sixteen year old shape shifter by the name of Zahur."
"That's an unusual name, where's he from."
"Egypt."
"Oh…start me off with someone I have no idea how to communicate with."
Marnie began to smirk, "And here I was thinking you knew all. I'll pass you over to Alex, he'll fill you in. I'm off to deal with an unreasonable request that some new whitelighter had the audacity to ask of me." winking she orbed away.

Ok this chappie was long over due but I hope it was worth the wait. Hopefully this was happier than the last and not as cheesy (looks at bunk64). If it was complete and utter bollocks then let me know and I'll edit or delete it.
Now stop reading this and review. Stop reading and review. Do it now you silly mortal! Lmao!
