Septdeneuf: Yes it was nice of him, shame she doesn't believe him.

Piper Chris fan: sorry no Piper Chris for a while, thats the big one and i'm saving it for the dramatic conclusion... ha... dramatic as if i'll be able to pull that off.

Faith-Charmer: yes poor Chris. but if you notice Charmedchick4eva is going to give him a hug, that should cheer him up. Yes it is rather sad to name my computer but i love keith... he lets me write fanfiction and read all your lovely reviews :) lol. I can't think why chapter 10 was like chaper 2, no idea at all... As for Piper and her sandwiches i suspect that if she ate one outside of being pregnant her reaction would be 'yuch' but i don't know.

Chapter 12: The invisibible woman The master of excuses

Chris

He felt like he was going to burst into tears, every sad memory of his life was flooding back to him. He wanted to let it all out he needed to let it all out. He could burst into tears right then, hell he had the right after what he'd been through, and he might have, if the cause of most of it would have let that happen.

'Wuss.'

That voice, even when it was just in his mind, could cut through him like nothing else. It snapped him back to himself, back to reality and in reality he knew he had more pressing uses of his time.

P--- off

'Whatever, you know I'm always here.'

Ugh. Wait a minute what do you mean always? You've been in here all the time I've been in the past?

'No,' sighed the voice embarrassed, 'it took a while to work through that barrier.'

Ha busted.

'Shut it.'

Get out of my head laughed Chris

'I've missed this.'

Get out of my head repeated Chris' internal self more violently. For a moment everything had seemed all right, it had seemed normal to talk to his brother like that, the way they had done as children. It seemed right to laugh; he had forgotten all that had happened. That couldn't last; he had a job to do if he wanted that back.

'You've missed it too little bro'

"I said leave me alone!" Chris found himself yelling out loud.

The whole office turned to stare, and master of excuses Chris Perry did the only thing he could think of; he ran.

Piper

"There," sighed Piper, "this spell might actually work."

Power of the witches' line

Show to me what will be mine

From powers past to future gifts

Show me what's mine but make it swift

"Are you sure?" asked Paige, "it sounds as bad as mine."

"Shut it sister, I've had more experience at this."

"That doesn't mean you're any better at it!"
"True," conceded Piper, "but short of our traditional spell writer, who by the way will never agree to this, it's the best you've got."

"Fine," said Paige, "give me the spell." After reading the spell, Paige sighed, "see told you it wouldn't," she felt a jolt run through her body, "work?" she finished unsurely.

"Right," replied Piper sarcastically, "and that's why you're currently invisible."

"I'm invisible?"

'This is going to be a long day' thought Piper.

"You really can't see me? I can see me!"

'Make that a really long day.'

Phoebe

Slopping down into her office chair Phoebe wanted to scream. Everything was so confusing; Chris was family, Chris had run off, Elise and Rob. Nothing made any sense. Maybe she should just erase her own memory and save her nephew the trouble. Her nephew. It felt weird even thinking it; Chris was her nephew, her sister's son from the future. So much of the past year had been a lie. It was almost humorous to think she gave people advice on how to live their lives.

She really ought to get out of her office and home, where she could project without risk of exposure. She couldn't go home, not now; if she went home she would either tell her sisters what she had found out or, if she somehow managed to keep her mouth shut, project it to them. Part of her wanted to go home, yell to everyone the truth about Chris, but somehow she knew this would be the wrong thing to do. Whether it was her empath senses or those of and agony aunt acting up she was sure that if she did that Chris wouldn't forgive her. Worse than that, she felt that if she did that, something would go terribly wrong. Maybe it was her premonition acting up, who knows? OK with going home and staying at the office out of the question where did that leave her? Jason's! But how would that help? She needed to find Chris; she needed a plan. It was at times like this she needed her sisters, especially since it was Piper who always came up with the plan. Ugh!

Paige

'Invisibility, cool!' thought Paige.

"Paige are you still here?" asked her sister.

"Yes," replied Paige rather pointlessly rolling her eyes.

"You've seen what your next power is going to be," said Piper sternly, "now lets remove it so it can arrive naturally."

"Cool it mom," said Paige, "I just want to test it out a little first."

"Paige, personal gain," came the ever overused reminder, "besides you can't go out in public."

"And why not?" asked Paige haughtily.

"If I even need to answer that question you deserve to have your powers stripped," joked Piper.

"Yah, yah don't have control, exposure blah, blah, blah." With that the invisible witch made a speedy exit by orbing, with her now invisible orbs leaving her sister talking to thin air.

'Oh this is so cool,' thought Paige as she reappeared at Phoebe's office. Her sister was sitting at her desk clearly lost in thought. Had Paige been less preoccupied by her new power she might have noticed the obvious concern on her sister's face, as it was preparing a brilliant prank to pull on her unsuspecting sister distracted her. Stifling her giggles Paige carefully snuck up behind her Phoebe and tapped her on the shoulder. Watching the empath spin round she let out the tiniest squeak of laughter.

The empath looked around confused, as Paige started to make some papers 'float' in mid air.

"What is going on here?" sighed Phoebe, " I swear if one more thing goes wrong today I'm going to scream."

Paige let out another sharp giggle, "Phoebe it's only me!"

"Paige?" she asked incredulously

"No," she giggled childishly, "your other invisible younger sister."

"Paige?" asked Phoebe, "are you all right?"

"Fandabilly tasticky!"

"What?"

"Fan-dab-illy tas-ticky," repeated the invisible which more slowly.

Phoebe looked disbelievingly at the space where she presumed her sister to be, "Paige why are you invisible?"

"I casted a spell," replied a guilty voice, " so I coulded see my future powers. And it looks like I be getting invisibible… invisisisble… invisibilingness!"

"And you thought a good thing to do with this would be to wind me up?"

"Yup, now I gotta go," she giggled again, "I'm going to go and follow Chris, maybe freak him out a little. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Phoebe

"Like I didn't have enough problems to day!"

TBC... eventually (darn exams)
