Author's note: I'm sorry for the late update. But I'm still in the stupid test week and it would have been even later if I didn't suddenly had inspiration and felt like I needed to write. And THANKS for the reviews! I'm so happy! And I also want to apologise for my bad grammar. I'm doing the best I can, but sometimes, I just let things slip. Anyone want to beta read it?

Okay, here comes the story.

chapter 4 Old MacDonald had a farm

"HALLIWELL LINE?" Piper yelled. Oh.. Chris is soooo busted right now.

'Omg omg omg... how do you get yourself out of this, this time huh?' 'I'm warning you, shut up!' 'What are you going to do? Blow me up? I'm you! You moron!' 'Freak! O wait, you are me... shoot, I just insulted myself.' 'You better make an excuse, cause they are staring at you.' 'Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding.' Chris mentally argued with himself.

"Er... I mean.. er... I borrowed your powers! Yeah... I figured mine wouldn't be powerful enough to get my astral ass..." Chris started to explain, but was cut of by Piper, "Language mister!" "...er... me.. back, so I er... call upon your family line?" He finished hestitanly. "And it rhymed!" he added hastily.

He's lying, Phoebe thought. I don't need to be an empath for that to know, he looks just like me when lying. Just as bad. But what's the truth then? She looked at Paige.

Paige doesn't know what to think. This mister from the futur is way too surprising. She better watch out. She caught Phoebe's look and returned it with a shrug. (a/n: did I spelled it right?)

Piper doesn't know what to think either. This is all too confusing. She knows he's lying, but they must focus on the problem right now and that's finding Astral Chris. She decided to drop the topic for after they find the other Chris. "Okay, we'll talk about..."

'They seem to buy it.. are they buying it?' Chris wondered. 'You're a telepath for the love of god! Read them!' the nasty voice replied. 'But wouldn't I be invading their privacy?' 'You're too late.. they are talking again.'

"...this later. Now, we have to scry for your astral ass." Piper finished. "Hey! You just scolded me for my language and now you're saying it yourself!" Chris pouted. Piper shot him a look of mister-I-can-say-what-I-want-and-don't-you-dare-to-talk-right-now-cause-you're-in-trouble. "Excuse me?" She asked sweetly. "Er... Nevermind."

Meanwhile, Paige was already scrying for Astral Chris. Suddenly, the crystal dropped. "Got him!" They looked at the map. "The Golden Gate Park?" Paige said. "Why would you.. I mean him... be there?" Phoebe wondered.

"Well, we can't orb, so we'll just have to take the car. Coming?" Piper headed for the door. "Hey! Wait for us!" Phoebe yelled after her sister. "Chris, you stay here. We would want someone see two Chrisses in public." And with that, Paige went after her sisters.

Chris stays behind in the attic. It seems a smart thing to do. But then again, he wasn't feeling this smart today, so it might also be a stupid thing. O well, what does he care? 'I'm hungry.' He suddenly thought. 'Then go eat something.' the voice replied. 'Aunt Paige told me to stay. And besides, I'm in the crystals.' 'Argh! You're a good witch! And! A Halliwell witch. Need I say more?' Chris blushed. Luckily, no one was there to see it. 'Oh right. I could just walk out. Hm.. what shall I eat?' And he walked out of the attic.

Piper stopped at the Golden Gate Park. The sisters got out of the car. "Where's Chris?" asked Paige. They looked around, but all they saw was an elderly couple picknicking, and a group of children from elementary school. "Must be a fieldtrip or something." They suddenly hear the children cheering. The looked over to them. The children seem to be surrounding someone. Who it was, they couldn't see, cause it had turned his back on them. Phoebe walked over to a woman standing next to the children. "Hi. Can I ask you something? What's going on here?" She asked politely.

The woman turned to Phoebe. "Hi. Of course. We were on a field trip today, and one of the kids was missing. Then this nice man brought him back. Turned out he went after the ice-cream truck and lost the way. Had us worrying for a minute. And the kids all seem to like him. He played with them for a while, and now, he's teaching them to sing. I'm Daisy by the way. I'm one of the teachers."

Teaching? Singing? Now why does that sound so familiar? "Oh, I'm Phoebe. Phoebe Halliwell. Me and my sisters were just looking for someone." "Halliwell?" Daisy frowned. "I think I've heard that name before." "Eh.. well.. maybe.. er.. I'm an advise columnist and my sister Piper owns the club P3, so you might have heard of us." Daisy shook her head. "No, I just heard it recently. Oh well, nevermind."

The kids are singing happily by now an old song of 'Old MacDonald had a farm' and the sisters walk over to see who the man was.

(a/n: this is not a songfic. so I'm not actually going to let Chris sing and put a songtext with it.)

The sister gasped. Something klicked inside Phoebe. Teaching? Singing? Of course! "Chris!"

Chris looked up at the mention of his name. O boy, he was just having so much fun with the kids. How could they have found me so fast? It's not fair. I just wanted to be happy! So he decided to ignore him and just sang happily on with the kids.

Paige was stunned. Chris was actually singing! With kids! Teaching! Sohe wasn't lying back at the manor. But she still thought it is an odd way to have fun.

Piper suddenly felt really proud at the sight of Chris and the kids. Now where did that came from? Weird. Must have been the hormones.'I must be having my period again,' she thought.

"Okay kids! Time to go back to school!" Daisy said after a while. The kids sight disappointed. "Awwwww!" they whined in unison. "Let us stay for a while! Pleasssseeeeeeeeee!" They all used their puppy eyes and pouted. Chris had to smile at the sight. "No guys. You better get back to school. But if you behave youselves, I might come and visit once in a while and take you to the park, if the teachers allow it, of course." " Promise?" A little girl asked. "Promise." With a sight everyone followed the teacher back to the bus.

"Now are you ready to come back to the manor with us?" Piper asked once the kids were gone. The park was empty now. They were standing in the shadows of a tree. "No! Coming back with you guys means hunting demons again, obligations, working non-stop for 3 days, no eating or sleeping and getting hit by energyballs! No way I'm coming back!"

The sisters were shocked by his outburst. They didn't know Chris was working so much. "But you're the one who sends us to demon hunting. If you just allow yourself some rest once in a while, things should turn out okay." Piper said on a soothing tone. Chris could feel his tears coming. He missed his mother, but even if he wants to be free, he still had the 'future consequenses' in his head. "No. Going back means going back in my body. He would never allow himself to have feelings. He would never stop before he has achieved what he came to the past for. Going back into my body means those thought would be mine too. Those obligations would be mine too. I don't want them. Leave me alone." He turned a leave, but Paige suddenly threw a potion at him and he collapsed on the floor. "Paige! What did you do? What if someone saw you!" Piper ranted.

"I checked. Nobody is here. And it was a sleeping potion. He'll stay out for a while. Let's orb back to the manor. The spell was for us to know him better. I think we should do that at home. And after what he said, I think we should talk with the other Chris too." Paige explained. "Agreed. So let's orb!" Phoebe said.

They orbed home to the living room. Paige puts astral Chris on the couch. Normal Chris walks in with a bowl of ice-cream. "Oh. Back already?" he asked. "Chris! What are you doing out of the crystal cage? And how?" Phoebe asked. "I got hungry. And I'm a good witch, so you can't trap me in the crystals." He looked at the sleeping astral Chris. "Wow, this is freaky. Seeing yourself like this. What did you do to me? I mean him."

"Sleeping potion. He'll be out for a few hours." Paige responded. "Good, cause I need to go to work. Elise will fire me if I don't turn up. See ya later!" And Phoebe went out of the door.
