A/N: It's been a little longer than i intended since my last update but i've been suffering from the most intense case of writer block. I think i've killed it, so hopefully i'll get another update out this week... oh dear o've started rambling.

Disclaimer: if i owned Charmed i could buy all the reviews i want, as it is i'll just have to settle for begging shamelessly for them: please review, criticism welcome.

Re-entering their lounge Teri and her parents were shocked to discover the absence of Lucy and Chris.

"Where did they go?" asked the girl.

Looking around in confusion her mother said, "maybe they went upstairs or in the garden or something."

"Lucy?" yelled Mr Hampton "Lucy where are you?"

"Ok now I'm worried!" snapped Mrs Hampton.

Meanwhile at the manor

"Wyatt?" yelled his mother, "Wyatt will you come and help me carry the shopping?"

Silence

"Don't pretend you're not upstairs spying on your brother. Come down and help! You too Mel!"

Silence

'Ugh! Kids, who'd have them?'

"Leo," she asked hopefully looking up to the sky, " I don't suppose you'd want to come down and help… or at least go and make Mel and Wyatt help?"

There was no response.

"Didn't think so."

After putting the shopping away, Piper marched up the stairs preparing to give her son and niece a serious telling off for both spying on Chris and refusing to help with the shopping. As she entered her sons' room she saw the mess of a demon vanquish but not her family. 'Oh c,' she thought, "Leo! Paige! Wyatt! Chris!"

Immediately he husband and sister appeared, but not the other two.

"What's wrong?" asked Leo

"I got home and found this," she said gesturing round the room, "Do you know where Wy and Mel are?"

"I can't sense them, nor Chris," said Leo worriedly, "This is bad."

"You bet it is," said Paige, "I'll go and tell Phoebe."

1992

"Er people?" suggested the non-magical teen, "do you think we should maybe find somewhere else to be. That lady doing her gardening is looking at us really suspiciously."

"What?" asked Chris

"I said that woman over there is looking at us really weirdly, and I don't blame her. We have been standing here rather a long time."

"Wow Chris," said Wyatt, "I'm impressed. You managed to travel through time with the only non-magical person able to remain calm in this kind of situation."

Chris laughed, "Oh god do you remember when we accidentally orbed Mrs Keelson to China?"

"Yeah," sniggered Wyatt, "She was so freaked out we had to replace her memories."

"Focus people," said Mel, "we need to get out of this, so where do we go for advise."

"We could go to the manor," suggested Wyatt, "talk to grams."

"You can," replied Chris "I have to remain as far away from there as possible, so as not to mess up my future? Er past? Other reality? The other instance of time travelling that I did."

"Two things," said Mel, "First: think before you talk."

"And second," finished Wyatt, "other you went back to 2004ish we're 12 years too early to mess that up."

"And what if one of the sisters recognises that me as this me that landed here er now? If I remember rightly that me had enough trouble with his identity without this interference."

Lucy, being new to the idea of time travel and also utterly confused, decided that the best way to alter both these things was to ask the question burning into her mind; "but if you messed up your other time travelling wouldn't it mean that the world would change so you didn't end up here to mess it up?"

The three witches looked at the girl in confusion, trying to figure out what she had just asked. Chris was the first to catch on, "possibly, and possibly not. You never can tell with time travel, even if you plan it with the utmost care things can go seriously wrong. It might have no effect at all or we might return to a hellish future, presuming we can get back of course, in which Wyatt has destroyed the world."

"You can't go one day without bringing that up can you?" asked his brother.

"No," smirked the younger.

"Thought not."

Sighing Mel turned to the other girl and said, "so you look like your going to be more help than those two, any ideas?"

"How about I go to your grams, I mean the likelihood of me upsetting the time line is somewhat less, for a start I wasn't born in 2004, am not likely to ever time travel again, and am not likely to slip up and call her 'grams'."

"Wow," laughed Mel, " I know who to call next time I accidentally get sucked into 1992"

30ish years later

"So where the hell are they!" yelled Phoebe in her office, "If they are in the underworld again! How many times have I told her not to go demon hunting without telling me!"

"I don't think they went hunting," sighed Piper, "Chris was meeting Teri's parents today, he wouldn't have bailed on that."

"So what the hell happened?"

"They must have been taken; somewhere out of sensing range."

"So if Chris was taken," realised Paige slowly, " does that mean his girlfriend's parents had to deal with a demon?"

"Oh crap," said 3 voices at once.

1992

"Ok," said Mel, "so where are we?"

"1992," said Chris, "I thought we established that."

"I said where not when," snapped the female witch, "as in where are we in relation to the manor."

"I have no idea," sighed Wyatt.

"Nor me," added Chris.

"We could ask that woman," suggested Lucy, walking towards her, "Excuse me," she yelled as she got closer, "excuse me."

The woman turned to the girl a puzzled look on her face, "yes?"

"Er hi, me and my friends are a little lost, I was wondering if you could tell me where we are?"
