"Prue?" he whispered as he looked up to see his deceased aunt staring at him kissing his girl. She had a supreme look over her face that said 'could you have waited one more minute, buddy?' as she watched him shaking her head at him with a small smirk. He hadn't meant to say her name at all.

Of course, he had and Jade had heard it.

Jade pulled away from the kiss. "Who's Prue?"

Her brilliant soft blue eyes traveled to the empty door where he kept looking. Prue stood there plainly within sight. Her long dark brown hair looked black in the school's poorly lit nurses office and her dark eyes were gleaming with humor. Her mouth was scrunched to the side in a smile that had her soul as she raised her eyebrows at him. Knowing he wasn't getting the hint, Prue looked at him back to Jade then to him again and then she jerked her head back to the hallway in reference of Jade leaving very soon so that they could speak.

Jade, who hadn't seen Prue, looked back at him in worry. "You sure you didn't like hit your head before I met you?"

"No. Why?" he asked incredulously as he watched her.

For a second, he forgot about Prue standing in the doorway watching them. For a second, he was just sitting there transfixed by her knowing that he was with Jade and she was alive. Even if it wasn't what he had exactly wanted to accomplish he sure had done it. She was alive. Now, all he had to do was keep her that way.

"Well, then who's Prue?" she asked him as her eyes flicked back to the doorway, but she didn't see Prue there.

"Don't you see her?"

"See who? Where even?'

"I mean."he e started to say but at the moment nothing came to mind to replace his stupid comments from before. If he kept up with this then she was going to think he was crazy and seeing things or people even that weren't there. He couldn't deal with her so her froze her.

He turned to Prue and she walked out of the doorway to the room and into the vacant hallway. So did he after a glance back at Jade to make sure she was still frozen. Prue walked into the hallway and folded her arms over her chest as she waited for him to catch up. There still were a few people in the hallway but they as well as the office assistants in the room next door were all frozen. They would be until he unfroze them.

"Nice. Your powers so strong already." Prue remarked as she walked around a kid who was taping up signs for the upcoming Romeo and Juliet plays auditions.

"Yeah, well it was my first power. So, I had a lot of practice. Combined with my white lighter powers it makes it stronger then mom's when she was well.. Near my age." he told Prue.

"Good for you, kiddo."

"Okay, what the hell? Time for you to explain your little spell. Cause I thought I was going to save her life. Instead, I am reliving my own!" Chris cried out as he flailed his arms out at the school. "Been here. Done this before. Don't want to do it again."

"Well, you are." Prue replied.

"I am what? Reliving my life again as if it didn't suck the first time? Saving her life? Cause right now she doesn't know me at all and I have nothing to save her from!" Chris cried out angrily.

"You're saving her life now as we speak/" Prue told him cryptically.

Chris sent her a look that could kill as he paced. "Yeah, right. I am reliving my life here, Prue. Not the minute I needed to save her."

"I never said that you would go back to that exact moment of time." Prue replied. "All I did was offer you a way out of living in a world where she died."

"What?" Chris asked.

He had had enough of this cryptic talk. He had had to deal with it with his dad most the time whenever he was to be sent on one of his spiritual journeys by the godforsaken Elders. His aunt didn't need to be putting him through this. She should be helping him. Helping him right now to understand why the hell he was here instead of back at the Manor about a minute before Jade went to the door.

"Chris, you got a chance to start over." Prue told him as if it were the very thing he wanted.

"Well, I don't need that chance. I need to go back, forward, whatever, it is tenses wise to the minute the demon came and killed her and I need to save her this time round. Everything else about our relationship is just fine."

"Oh, yeah." Prue counteracted.

"Yeah, we're just peachy."

"Chris."

"No, Chris me. You come here to help me from up there heaven or wherever you were at and then you screw up. Now, I have to do this all over again. Which, may I add, has already been screwed up. I've already changed everything about how we met the first time. I am screwing this up, Aunt Prue. I need help here. I have changed the past, present, future or whatever already and all I did was not go through my history class with her the first time round. Instead, I fainted and looked like a complete wuss." he started to rant.

Prue came over to him and collected his hands in hers as they went in every direction as he ranted. "Look, Chris. I know. You were going to change the timeline anyway by saving her life in the first place. It's no big deal. The only living person who will remember that you did this was you."

When he just glared at her and started to hyperventilate, "Alright, take slow breaths. Nice and easy, alright. Do you need a paper bag or something? Have you ever done this before?"

"No," he got out as he tried taking a few breaths slowly.

"Alright, you are just making yourself sick. You don't have time to overreact here, Chris. You need to get back in there and finish the rest of the school day, alright?" Prue asked softly as if she were talking to a small child.

"I'm not a rocket scientist, but I know that changing the first time Jade and I ever met is so not good."he told Prue as he tried to calm down.

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Change this."

"How, Chris?'

"Uh, well make another spell for instance. I need to go and save her life and stop screwing up my past." he told her.

"No can do."

"What? Why? "he could almost feel a panic attack coming.

"Well, as you said before the past has been changed."

"Yeah, that's why I need to go back to my future and save her," Chris replied annoyed at Prue for not getting it.

"Chris, you're not getting it. You changed the way you two met. That may seem like a small thing to you, but it's a big thing in the time continuum."

"Oh, no. Don't say that. No." he mumbled as he started to run his hands through his hair nervously.

"Oh, yes. I have to say it so you understand. Future consequences. You can't go back to your future because it doesn't exist anymore. Face it, Chris, you have to change the past. You can't even go to the future because then there would be no Chris here in the now, and well, we can't have that. You have to relive everything in order to save her." Prue told him.

He could feel the weight of the world on his shoulders. Great. This was just great. He had though he was going to take the easy way out and save her and now.. Now, he had to relive his life all over again. He had to try not to change anything else because it could affect so many people. Then, he had to change everything since he had already screwed up early in his history class.

Nice going, Chris. Give the boy a prize, he yelled at himself.

"But.. You've go to be kidding me!" he tried one last time for a way out.

"Think of it as a second chance." she said beaming at him.

"Easy for you to say you don't have to relive Mr. Brodberke's class."

"Yeah, I saw that. What is with that man?"

"I don't know. He's been like that since forever."

"Sorry."

"Everything sucks for me." Chris said.

"Chris, she still cares about you." Prue reminded him.

"I know. I felt it too. Does she remember?"

"No, she doesn't. She can't. The feelings are the same, but her memories aren't."

"What am I supposed to do?" Chris asked as he held his head in hands sitting on the bench next to the frozen kid taping up the flyers.

This was way too much to handle. Especially, if this was a Monday morning like he remembered it as.

Prue sat down next to him. "Well, there are a lot of things you can do. You have a second chance, Chris, and that is something most people dream about. You can do anything this time. You can change everything if you wanted. You can save her life easily."

"How?" he asked, instantly ready for an answer.

"Well, you aren't going to like hearing this the way you love her and all but the best way to save her life would be to not get involved with it in the first place." Prue told him slowly.

"What?" Chris cried on his feet in surprise.

He couldn't believe she was actually saying this. He couldn't belive after everything that she had done to help him save Jade's life she was just going to tell him to back off. As if he could!

"I told you you wouldn't like it." Prue confirmed with a shake of her head.

"I can't not.. I love her." he whispered aloud to his aunt as she watched him on his feet again pacing.

"Wow, is that the first time you've admitted it aloud."

"Yeah, I think so." Chris replied as he stopped to think about it. It was. He had never even admitted it to her himself.

"Well, then you have a hard decision to make." Prue told him as she got up off the bench and brushed herself off.

"No, I don't. I will just watch out for her this time."

"Chris, she's human. If you look out for her you have the chance of suffering too. Especially, if history repeats itself."

"No, I can do this."

"Like you did the first time." Prue asked him softly. Not meaning to throw it out there to hurt him but to put it out on the table.

"So what? What do you want me to do? Pretend I don't care about her. Just watch her from afar."

"Basically, yes. "
