AN: EKK! I'M SOOOOOOOOO SORRY FOR MAKING YOU WAIT FOR A LONG TIME! I got distracted..you know, normal teenage stuff. Some one could tell me, 'run! it's the end of the world!' and I would just stop and look up at the big fire ball coming down on earth and go 'oooohh pretty!' Yeah! Okay I'll make it up and write some other chapters before the week is over. Oh and some of you might not have caught on to what I was doing. Okay, let me explain. The first chapter was just me introducing some of the characters as they FIRST meet. Now the scene is switched to when Chris went to the past to save Wyatt (aww) from turning evil...and I'm messin' with the storyline and placing Serena/Sailor Moon into the mix and having her go back in time. I haven't decided if she is officially going to be with Wyatt or Chris yet. I guess we'll find out soon enough huh? Okie enough of my chattering. Here it goes!
Visions of Love
Chapter Three: SAILOR MOON!
Back at the manor, Phoebe and Paige sat on the couch, each on a side of the mysterious blonde. By now, the long blonde headed girl had reversed her transformation. She wore a light pink tank top and a black skirt with black heels. Her hands rested in her lap as she sat straight up. Chris paced the living room, for the first time, not knowing what to say. Piper walked in with a tray of five crystal clear classes filled with ice and tea, a slice of lemon on the sides. Serena stood and took the tray from Piper's hands and placed them on the coffee table. Chris had stopped to watch her, as did the others, and then went back to pacing. Serena, without saying a word of any kind, or even making eye contact, distributed each glass to the sisters. She motioned for Piper to take her place on the couch. Piper did so and as she did, Serena moved over to Chris and handed him a glass of tea, which he denied acidly with a death glare and a cold shoulder. The blonde girl sighed and placed the glass back on the tray and took a sit of her own tea.
They had all arrived half an hour ago and since then has been nothing but silence. The sisters stared at her in awe as she rid her body of her uniform. Chris merely rolled his eyes and shrugged it off as if he was used to it. Serena continued to not make any eye contact, especially with Piper. It was good to see her again, so young. So..alive. The blonde could recall the fatal accident that had ended her life and the sad funeral that followed. She also remembered that it was a ripple of bad luck after that.
"So your name is Serena?" Phoebe spoke up, startling everyone. She was frustrated and couldn't take such silence anymore. It was about to drive her completely mad! The witch wanted answers.
The blonde looked up, and for the first time made contact with Phoebe. She nodded her head, then glanced at Chris. Phoebe could sensed the tension in the air that was coming from those two. It was making it hard for her to almost breathe. The two know each other apparently from the future, Phoebe assumed. Although they tried to hide it, the sister could easily sense some sort of emotion from them. A HUGE emotion that she couldn't exactly make out right then. She decided to push a little further.
"What's your last name?" She asked, wondering if maybe she was a relative. Maybe one the Charmed One's daughter. Phoebe took one more look over Serena and decided that she couldn't be Piper's or her own. Paige was a possibility.
"Halliwell." She said in a firm tone, holding her chin up. Giving off that she was somehow proud of that name. Phoebe nodded. She couldn't be Paige's daughter then. There could be a chance that she was Phoebe's daughter.
"It was Tsukino." She continued. "But now it is Halliwell."
"But now it's Halliwell?" the sisters questioned in union.
The other two sisters held their heads up and Phoebe cocked an eye brow. Chris had turned around. His face had turned an off white color, but recovered before anyone could notice. It was then that Serena looked over at him. Something passed through the space between the two, a spark of a hidden secret. The sisters could tell that something was definitely up between the them. Chris made a low scuffing sound, folded his arms across his chest and started pacing again. Serena rolled her eyes and turned back to the sisters. Now, gaining some confidence and courage from the reaction she was getting from the man. That man was jerking her chains and it was getting on her last nerve. She was lucky she got here in time. The pace Chris was going, the Charmed Ones would never find out who turns Wyatt evil.
"Yes. Wyatt is my husband. Well, at least he was until-" Serena stopped there and took another glance at Chris. He had did the same and the two thought of the same thing.
"Until what?" Phoebe asked seeing the tension between the couple again. Serena broke the gaze and turned back to the matter at hand.
"Until the incident" She said, lowering her voice at the last word. The memory still painful and fresh in her mind.
"Oh you mean the incident where I died?" Piper spoke up as if what she was saying was part of a normal conversation. Serena's brows furrowed as her eyes narrowed in question. She turned to glance at Christ again and he nodded his head. She threw her arms up in the air in aggravation.
"Way to keep a secret, Chris." She said almost raising her voice. "How much do they know about the future?"
"Can you just shut up?" He said in a monotone voice.
Serena walked over to him and stood in his way, preventing him from pacing. She placed her hands are her waist and looked up at him angrily. Now that they were standing close enough to each other, the sisters could tell the difference between their heights. From afar, they seem to stand the same, but up close Chris was just about a foot or two taller than Serena.
"No. I won't shut up. You're the one that nagged everyone to remember the number one rule about time traveling. Never tell what lies ahead, even if it is to change the future for the best. You could seriously screw the time line up. You KNOW how Trisha gets when you mess with her time! Plus, you broke rule number two, NEVER reveal who you truly are. Chris what were you thinking?" She started to shout.
Chris shrugged passed her, bumping into her shoulder and knocking her a step back. He began to walk away when she ran after him and jerked him back. The sisters watched, leaning forward on the couch. To them, this was like watching their favorite soap opera in real life. Paige wanted to summon some pop corn and Jelly Chewies. Serena grabbed a hold of his shoulder and turned him around to her, but Chris only threw her hand back down.
"Don't touch me." He said icily to her and then left the room. Serena stood there, wanting to go after him. She decided against it. There was time for him later, she needed to get back to the sisters and get started.
"So are you going to tell us what's going on?" Piper asked.
"Yeah you should just get it over with. You already gave away yourself." Paige added.
"By the way, why did you give away yourself? You talk about how much Chris has spilled, what about you? Aren't you breaking the rules by telling us who you are?" Phoebe questioned.
Serena sighed and sat down on one of the chairs that was beside the couch. She folded her legs underneath her. There was a pause for a minute, then she began.
"Yes. I know. I told you what needed to be said in order to complete my mission." Serena said answering all of their questions. "As you know, I am from the future as well. Both Chris and I are trying to prevent Wyatt from turning evil. Piper, your death, we know for sure, is half the reason Wyatt is the way he is in the future. The other half we aren't sure. Something..or someone corrupted him while he was young. Over the years it started taking place inside of him and when you died, it leashed out." She finished off.
Serena leaned forward to the coffee table and grabbed her glass of tea. Before she had to
sit it down before launching it at Chris. The blonde shivered at the thought of the man. He made her skin crawl. Why did he have to be so mean to her? What did she ever do to him? Serena took another sip of her tea and sighed as she sat it in her lap. She relaxed a bit and lean against the back of the chair. It took her a minute to register what damage had been done and what she needed to do about her time in the past. Chris had allowed them to know more then they should have. She felt that letting everything out in the open was better. Only right to let the sisters know what was going on, then hiding secrets behind their backs. Chris popped in her mind again. He went about the wrong way. Now that things were screwed up, she figured it wouldn't hurt to just spill. Forget the rules. She began to continue.
"I can't tell you every single detail...but I can tell you the stuff you absolutely need to know. Since Chris has spilled the beans about being Wyatt turning evil, Piper dying... and I'm guessing by then you've figured out that he's Piper's youngest son..then me informing that I'm...uhh...was Wyatt's wife..you should know the rest. I was sent here because Wyatt is going to great links in order to get Chris back..if not dead. He's teamed up with an enemy of mine and has murdered my own team members."
Chris walked back in again, only now standing by the opening. He leaned against it with his arms crossed on his chest as usual. He had been eavesdropping and had decided to just walk back in. As Serena went on with her story, Chris took the time to study her. She was off guard and couldn't catch him. The man wanted to smile at the sight of her, but knew that she only brought bad news. Wyatt had gotten worse, instead of better. After all the hard work the sisters were doing, nothing had really changed. Even though he wouldn't allow himself the pleasure of being near the blonde again, it was still good enough to just see her. He had missed her the most from the future. She was the one real reason he was even doing this. Saving his brother. For her.
No matter how much he would like to deny it, the two were in love. Had been since the first time they saw each other. Chris remembered it clearly, as if it were yesterday. She had arrived and Chris just stared in awe of her child-like beauty. They were almost the same age, closer than her and Wyatt. He had came down that stairs with his mom and older brother and the first person he saw was Serena. Throughout the party he hadn't even played with his brother and his friends. He had stayed in the corner of the room, just watching her. Although his dream with having her in the same picture as his, had long disappeared. Serena and Wyatt had always been a pair. Went as far as getting married and having a daughter of their own. Chris remembered it broke both their hearts to see the once great man of their lives turn into something beyond any evil. That was when Chris vowed to them that he would make things better...and now he stood here..in the past, helping his brother. Chris shook his head to clear it of his thoughts and tuned into Serena finishing her story.
"The woman Wyatt has teamed up with is known as Beryl. She's been an enemy of mine for as long as I can remember. Beryl isn't even a woman anymore. She once was a witch, a very powerful one at that. She was as power-crazy as...as.." Serena trailed off trying to find the rest of her words in order to complete the sentence.
Chris walked in casually, showing no emotion to the blonde. "...as Wyatt..." he finished for her. She stared up at him in disbelief, as if he had read her mind. She blinked and nodded then turned to the sisters again.
"She has a what is called the 'Black Crystal', given to her by Queen Metallia. The crystal is the exact opposite as mine, the "Silver Crystal'. Both produce a large amount of energy that could, and if wanted, destroy the world."
That piece of information was a bit much for the sisters. They sat there and just looked at the blonde as if not understanding a word that had came out of her mouth. Serena sighed and bowed her head. Chris placed a hand on her shoulder and decided to take over from there. He moved to the other side of the living room and the girls' eyes moved with him.
"For starters, Queen Metallia is the name of a big force of evil. It became to powerful and was encased in another dimension. Before she..or it..was condemned to eternal slumber, it produced a crystal. This crystal contained all of its evil power in it. Beryl, being the stupid bitch she is, got a hold of it. She took control and focused on releasing Queen Metallia one day. Beryl is able to create demons and send them on their way to an energy source in the universe...now this was like a thousand years ago okay...Beryl stumbled across our solar system."
"..Back then there was life on other planets...kingdoms and such for each planet..." Serena added. "...Beryl began taking over each and destroying them with her demons. Taking the planets' powers..."
"The last place she had to go was Earth and the moon kingdom that orbited it. They had the largest amounts of energy on them because of the Earth Prince Endymion...and the Lunarian Princess Serenity."
"Beryl fell in love with Endymion and asked him to join forces with her so that they could rule the entire universe..."
"..But he fell in love with Serenity and rejected Beryl..."
"Beryl was pissed because the Lunarian line held the Silver Crystal, which was formed by the moon goddess, Selene..."
"..The matching force of the Black Crystal, only its used for good..."
"To give you the summary...Beryl attacked the Moon Kingdom...killed everyone, except the Queen Selenity, Serenity's mother. The Queen was the carrier of the Silver Crystal at the time and used its power to encase Beryl and all her evil..."
"...and then send her daughter, the prince, and their guardians to Earth..."
"...to be reincarnated as different people and live as normal humans. But somehow Beryl got loose and is now roaming around in the future."
Chris and Serena had finished the story together, each taking a part. The Charmed Ones sat on the couch, now leaned back. Their brains in overload. Some of the stuff they were told didn't even make sense. Although with their past experience of being turned into goddesses, they decided the story held fact to it. Plus, they've been through much stranger situations. Paige sighed.
"Well, why don't we just find the princess and the prince..and the rest that were reborn..have them defeat Beryl?"
Chris and Serena looked at each other then back at the sisters. The blonde unfolded her legs and place the empty tea glass on the tray. They sisters did the same.
"It's not that easy, Paige. As much as we would like it. Wyatt had the guardians executed as part of the treaty with Beryl. I'm the last guardian, as much to my knowledge. Without my team I can't find the princess OR the prince."
Paige sighed again and closed her eyes. Her right thumb and index finger caressed her nose. This was a sticky situation that was going to be hard to get out of.
"So what are we suppose to do?" Piper asked, rubbing her temples. She felt an oncoming headache approaching.
"We need to track the families of the reincarnated guardians. Forewarn them of what lies ahead of their children's future. Prepare them in advance to be ready. Then we need to get their transformation pens. Once they are reunited together, they can lead us to the Silver Crystal..."
"...that will find Princess Serenity...Warn her of what's going on." Chris finished for Serena.
The two looked up at each other. Again, Phoebe could sense something flash in the space between them. There was something they weren't telling the sisters. Not about the mission, but something personal. Phoebe could almost feel what was happening, but couldn't place her finger on it. They shielded their emotions well, almost impossible for the witch to pick up on. She decided that things would heat up sooner or later and everything would be revealed. Until then, she would do whatever it was possible to save her nephews and the future.
