Wyatt is now 10, Chris 8. Zoe is 9 years old and Wyatts "girlfriend".

Chapter 4: Brothers for always

Chris sat alone on a bench on the schoolyard. Bianca was sick and wouldn't be able to come to school for the rest of the week. His other friends were playing soccer in another part of the yard but Chris didn't wanted to play with them, he wanted to play with his brother.

But Wyatt was having lunch with his new girlfriend Zoe. She had blonde curly hair that made her look almost like an angel but Chris didn't liked her. Since she was in Wyatts class his brother hadn't spent the breaks with him, instead he always was at Zoes side. Sometimes Chris wished he could use a spell on her to make her leave his brother alone but his mother would freak out if she would find out that he was using magic for personal gain.

"Hey Chris!" one of his friends shouted from the other part of the yard where they were playing. "Come over here and play with us!"

But Chris wasn't in the mood to play with them now. He looked sadly over to his older brother who was laughing over something with Zoe. He then stood up from the bench and went over to the entrance of the school. When he passed his brother and Zoe he could see that she was holding her lunch box in her hands and couldn't resist any longer. With a slight move of his hand he threw it out of her hand and down on the ground. A little smile came across his face as he heard her shriek in surprise. In a bit better mood he entered the school building to go to his locker and get his books for the next hour.

Wyatt walked over to his brother who had just started to watch Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone in the living room. Zoe was in his room and waited there for him so they could make their homework but Wyatt had something important to talk about with Chris. He sat down on the couch beside his brother and stopped the movie. "Chris we need to talk."

"Hey I was just watching this" Chris said and wanted to start the movie again but Wyatt stopped him.

"Wait. I saw what you did in the break today."

Chris looked at him innocently. "What do you mean?"

"Don't put up this face Chris. It might work with mom but I know you better" Wyatt answered. "You threw Zoes lunch box to the ground."

"No, I didn't" Chris lied.

"Of course you did" Wyatt replied a bit angry that Chris denied it.

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes you did!"

"No, I didn't!"

"Hey! Can we please make our homework now?"

The quarreling siblings turned around and saw Zoe standing there. Wyatt once again looked at his brother. "You did" he said again before he followed Zoe upstairs.

Chris leaned back into the couch and sighed in frustration but also sadness. Now Wyatt was not just spending all his time with Zoe, he was also mad at him. This was just great. It hurt him even more because in the past he and his big brother were always really close and had had a lot of fun. Wyatt had always been there for him and now it seemed like all he wanted to do is spending time with Zoe. Before he could think about it any further he started the movie again and watched how Hagrid, the giant, used his umbrella to conjure a pig tail on Harrys stupid cousin Dudley.

Later this afternoon Wyatt and Zoe were sitting on the couch in the living room. They were watching Lizzie McGuire. Actually Zoe was watching it, Wyatt was rather bored by this TV-Show. He quickly stood up and went over to the kitchen to drink something. Chris who was sitting on the other side of the room felt again this urge to trick Zoe. He remembered the scene from the Harry Potter movie where Dudley had get his pig tail.

With a grin on his face he made up a spell in his mind and whispered it

"For making Wyatt as a brother fail,

she shall wear a pigs tail."

Immediately Zoe stood up from the couch and tried to look behind her. As she put her hands on her back side she could suddenly feel a tail coming out of her pants. She then began to scream hysterically and Chris couldn't help but laughed. After a few seconds Wyatt and their mother entered the living room and he quickly tried to stop laughing.

"What happened?" Wyatt asked worriedly.

Zoe just turned her back at him and caused both Wyatt and their mother to look at the pig tail stunned. Then Wyatt seemed to understand what had happened because he turned to Chris and looked at him angrily. "Why did you do this?"

"I did nothing" Chris lied again.

"Stop lying Chris. Why are you doing this?" Wyatt asked his little brother while his mother tried to calm Zoe down.

"Because you have never time for me!" Chris finally shouted. "It's always just Zoe. You don't play with me in the school anymore and every second day Zoe is here too. And then you ignore me and just spend time with her!"

"But Chris you can't just do something like this just because your brother doesn't play with you sometimes" Piper now stated. She had always been a bit worried that her sons close relationship could cause them problems when they grow older and now it seemed like it was true.

"But mom he never plays with me" Chris responded.

"That's not true. Just yesterday we were all together in the park and Wyatt played with you soccer" Piper said. She then sighed as Zoe began to cry. "Go to your room Chris. We talk about this later. Now I have to calm Zoe down and do something against her tail."

"But mom –"

"No buts Chris. Go to your room."

Chris glared once again at Zoe before he ran upstairs and slammed the door behind him.

"Let me talk with him" Wyatt said to his mother after they had undone Chris' magic, erased Zoes memory on her tail and sent her home. Now Piper wanted to talk with Chris about what he had done but Wyatt wanted to do this himself. As Chris had explained why he had done this to Zoe he had realized that part of it was really true. He had really neglect his baby brother in the last time.

"Wyatt this is serious. Your brother can't use magic to give other people a pig tail" Piper said.

"I know. But please I need to talk to him first" Wyatt pleaded.

Finally Piper gave in. "Okay, then go."

Wyatt quickly went upstairs and knocked on his brothers door. "Can I come in?" he asked uneasily. There was no response so Wyatt wanted to open the door but it was locked. "Chris please open the door." When nothing happened Wyatt orbed into his brothers room and saw him lying on his bed.

"That's not fair" Chris said immediately. "Why do you even ask if you can come in if you just orb?"

"I orbed because you didn't answered" Wyatt responded. "And we really need to talk about this Chris."

"I think mom's going to scold me enough so you can save it" Chris said and turned his back to his brother.

"I'm not here to scold you. I'm here to talk to you. Spend time with you."

"Really? Since when?" Chris asked. "Since Zoe had to go home and there's only me left you can spend time with?"

"That's not true" Wyatt said and sat down on the edge of his brothers bed. "I love it to spend time with you Chris. You're the best brother I could ask for."

Chris remained silent for a while but then he asked lowly "Then why aren't you there for me like in the past?"

"Chris look at me" Wyatt said and waited for his brother to turn around again before he answered his question. "I'll always be there for you when you need me. You know that. But you have to understand that I also want to spend some time with Zoe…"

"But…" Chris tried to cut him off.

"But I will always have time for you" Wyatt continued. "I know that I didn't showed this to you in the last time and I'm really sorry Chris. I really wasn't playing with you as much as I did in the past but you have also other friends. We both are spending time with other kids and I think we just need to get used to it that we're not always doing everything together."

"Yeah I know" Chris said sadly.

Wyatt sighed as he noticed that he wasn't making Chris feel any better. "Look, when you are playing with Bianca I'm also not there everytime. And still you have a lot of fun. And that's exactly how I feel with Zoe. But this doesn't change anything between us Chris. We'll always be brothers and nothing in the world can ever change this."

Finally a small smile came across Chris' face. "Really?"

"Really" Wyatt answered and hugged his baby brother.

(Just a few things I need to set straight: This is the changed timeline. So Chris' world won't shatter into pieces again. But I changed a few things like that Bianca is younger and Chris had the same powers as Wyatt. I could never understand why it should be otherwise because if someone's stronger than the other I think it should be Chris (after all they have the same parents but Leo was even an elder at the moment Chris was conceived).
