Back to the Past

Disclaimer: I can only dream…

A/N: Thanks for reviewing! Also, just so you know- this fic is going to be a lot longer, and I have a lot more planned to happen. After all, they have a least one more time left to go to after the time you'll see in this chapter. Also, Chris hasn't even told Leo or any of the Charmed Ones who he really is yet, which he will do. And they haven't found out about Gideon yet either.

If any of you like Charmed teen fics, could you read and review my fic Sisters? Oh, and my other Charmed fic Forever is piper/leo. It sucks right now, but I'd really appreciate reviews!

DrewFullerFanLife- yay, you're back!

ZELINIA- thanks! You're probably right about the whole not having the same names or not having nicknames, but I'd confuse myself if I used different names for all the times. Plus it's also easier using their names because it shows they are the same people they are now, just in a past life.

CharmedClover- Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it. You'll see what happens to Tanya and Chris- lots of drama, lol.

Chapter Thirteen: Germany

"It looks like we're in the same place. Maybe we just moved ahead a few years or something, 'cause we are definitely near the marketplace my past self was going to," Tanya said when they stopped.

"Yeah, ma- hey look, there she is again!" Chris replied, spotting Tanya.

"Wow, she looks so different. Maybe everything worked out for the better."

Tanya had traded her bare feet for a pair of shiny black shoes, her torn, patched clothing for a new red dress, and her basket for a baby who looked only a few months old. She looked to be around twenty now, and she was even prettier than she had been before, especially now that she was smiling.

"Come on, let's follow her again. See where my past self is," Chris said.

They followed her back around town and to an incredibly large mansion. She walked into the front door, Chris and Tanya trailing right behind her. They stopped when they saw Chris sitting comfortably in a well-furnished living room, or parlor as they called it. They watched as she sat down next to him.

"So, how's little Victor doing?" he asked, picking up his son.

"He's fine. He just misses his father when you go away on your business trips. As do I."

Chris smiled and leaned forward, capturing her lips. "I know, but I took care of it and I hopefully won't have to leave for at least another few months."

"Good," she said, smiling.

The two turned to their son, who was gurgling happily.

"Oh, yay, so they did get married! It's like a fairy tale," Tanya said.

Chris laughed. "Except it's us."

"I know. That's really weird to think about. I mean ew, we had a kid together," she said, wrinkling her nose. "Hey, isn't Victor your grandfather's name?"

"Yup. I wonder if my grandfather in this life was named Victor too."

"Well souls usually travel with the ones they love, so you might have known him a different way. Like how lovers tend to still be together in their next lives. Remember all those stories Piper and Leo used to tell us about how they had seen their past lives, and they were always together."

"But we were clearly a couple in this timeline, and we're just friends now."

"Maybe we're an exception. Also, only soul-mates stay together, so maybe we were only meant to be together in one life."

"Then don't you think Bianca would be my soul-mate? Why isn't she here?"

Tanya shrugged as they once more were whisked away to another time.

"Ok, you're the smart one. Where are we now?" Chris asked.

Tanya looked around for a clue as to their current location and time period. "I have no idea. But let's look around the town."

They headed down the streets, exploring. "Uh oh," she said.

"What? What's wrong?"

"Have you read the book Maus?"

"Never heard of it. Why?"

"It's a graphic novel, kind of like a creepy comic book, about Jews in 1940 through 1945. The Holocaust. Which is where we are now except I don't know which country we're in."

"Are you serious? We lived during the Holocaust? Do you think we survived?"

"I suppose we're going to find out," Tanya replied.

"Yup, 'cause that's you right there," Chris said, pointing to another of Tanya's past self.

"Oh, she has a whole family. There are two other girls who must be her sisters and there are her parents. And she looks like she's nineteen or twenty here. They're probably Jewish, right?"

"I don't know. I remember when you used to make me watch the Sound of Music all the time, they weren't Jewish, they just didn't support Hitler."

Tanya nodded. "Hey, come on, you know you liked that movie."

"Did not."

"Did too."

"Did not."

"We sound like we're five."

"Well, some of us have the mental capacity of a five year old."

"You are talking about yourself, right?"

"I hate when you do that."

"Do what?" she asked innocently.

"That."

She grinned. "I wonder if Bianca and Sam are here."

"Probably. I still don't get how you and I could ever be a couple. You love to torture me."

"But it's so much fun. And besides, you bug me too."

"Hey! When do I bug you?"

"Shh. Tanya's saying something."

"Um, is this English?"

"Nope. I figured out where we are though."

"Really? Where?"

"In Germany."

"Well that's just great."

"Anyway, I can't understand everything they're saying, but from the gist of it I understand that they are German, but they don't support Hitler. I think they're trying to go to America."

"Wait. You know German?" Chris asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Not really, just a little bit. I learned it when I was in New York with Sam."

"Oh. OK, go back to listening."

"I think we missed the rest of it. They're walking now," Tanya replied.

"So, we're following them I suppose?"

"Yup."

Tanya and Chris followed the family down the street and into a small house. There was a red and white flag with a swastika on it outside the house.

"I thought you said they didn't support Hitler," Chris said, confused.

"Well yeah, but they live in Germany. They have to pretend to support him or they'd be killed instantly."

"Oh, right."

A/N: I'm probably going to keep them here for the next few chapters, at least another two or three before they move on to the next time. Anyway, I'm using the Holocaust because we had to read Maus for this thing at school called Book Day where we have no classes all day, we just go to workshops about the book. So I had no classes today and a bunch of people who were Holocaust survivors came to our school and stuff like that. Ok, I'll stop rambling now. Please review!
