Chapter One

Piper heard the orbs materialize into the living room as she continued to dust. "Leo, I thought you had to work late tonight. Oh well I'm glad you're home. You can take care of Wyatt because I have to go to the club and see to…" She trailed off as she heard the voice behind her.

"Piper," The voice called softly.

Piper caught her breath in surprise and slowly turned around…it couldn't be. No, she had to be dreaming. She looked in the person's ice blue eyes and stood there in silence long enough for the realization to hit her.

"Is it…am I dreaming?" Piper asked, the vulnerability apparent in her voice, yet full of innocent hope that she had never let go of.

Prue walked over to Piper and hugged her. "No, I'm really here." She held Piper tight as Piper cried.

"I missed you so much," Piper said between sobs.

"I missed you too," Prue replied as she too felt tears coming to her eyes.

Piper buried her face in Prue's shoulder. She was overcome with emotion and was overjoyed just to be with her sister again. Chris watched from the doorway and smiled to himself as he orbed out.

One week ago…

"But why would we ever agree to that? It is against the rules Chris." One of the older looking elders said this as he walked over to join the other elders.

"Don't ask me to try and figure out why you've done the things you have. I never understood your reasoning for anything and I'm not going to start now," Chris replied icily. "Look, the point is this is how it was in my future and I don't want to risk changing it."

"But the matter of the fact is that witches are not allowed to become whitelighters."

"Stupid technicality. Who better to be his whitelighter than his aunt? His aunt who did good herentire life and gave her life trying to save an innocent."

At this point Leo stepped into the conversation. "I think it's a good idea. The Charmed Ones don't have the best of whitelighters at this point…" Leo continued as he glared at Chris, "…I mean he can't even heal. Who is supposed to protect Wyatt? He should have a whitelighter with the ability to heal at least!"

"I suppose she does fit most of the requirements. Give us time to discuss the idea Chris."

Chris opened his mouth to respond but Leo orbed Chris out with a wave of his hand. He decided to wait in his apartment at P3 until he was summoned. Finally he heard the familiar jingle of the Elders.

"We have decided in favor of Prue becoming Wyatt's whitelighter. You have too many responsibilities as it is Chris, and we feel that someone else needs to help with the burden. And this will further allow Leo to stay 'up here', as his healing ability is not needed. He will no longer be putting the rest of us in danger with his…his…recklessness." The gray haired elder said, searching for the right word.

The other elders murmured their agreement while Leo sat, staring down at a speck on the floor.

A/N: This is my first fanfic and I'd really appreciate it if you reviewed! Constructive criticism would be great as well. Thanks a lot
