The Charmed One's jumped with a started when they heard the scream. The girls took a quick look between them and ran back in the living room. They were started to find Leo standing with Chris in his arms, Wyatt standing in front of him and all three boys looking down (or looking even in Wyatt's case) at the couch. The girls quickly walked over and looked down to find Christine lying on her back on the couch in a dead faint.
"Leo! What happened?" Piper asked.
"Wyatt happened," Leo began, "he just orbed in from his nap." The girls looked aghast. "Hey, at least she landed on a soft couch this time." Leo tried to smile in an attempt at humor.
"What do you mean, 'Wyatt orbed in'?" asked Phoebe raising her hands and making quotation marks with her fingers. "Christine saw him?" Leo could only nod.
"Whoa, heavy." Paige said while nodding in agreement to her own statement. The others just rolled their eyes at that. "Well you could always dust her with that memory stuff, Leo."
"No! I will not do that to my own flesh and blood." Leo cried out. "Whoa, did I just say that? Whoa, heavy."
"You've been spending too much time with Paige, dear." Piper said.
Christine moaned slightly and began to rouse. Her eyes fluttered open and looked around. She jumped up to a sitting position and looked frantically around. "What happened?" She looked down at Wyatt and her eyes widened even more at the memory before her faint. "Oh my God! Did what I believe happen really happen?"
"Ummm…What do you believe happened, Christine?" asked Paige as innocently as she could.
"That child," she began pointing to Wyatt, "just appeared out of thin air in these twinkling lights!"
Phoebe chuckled. "What? Now Wyatt is Houdini?" she chuckled again very nervously. "Can you imagine Piper? Your son just appeared out of now where."
"What? OH yeah, Houdini!" Piper chuckled. "Rrrriiiigggghhhhttttt."
Christine glared at the sisters. "I know what I saw. I saw that little boy," she started pointing at Wyatt, "appear out of thin air with twinkling lights! I am NOT crazy!" Then she looked wildly around the room and it's occupants. Christine took a deep breath and sat down on the couch again. "I am not crazy." She said again in a more calm tone.
"Of course you're not crazy, Christine," Piper said softly as she sat down next to her, "You're just stressed out with the big move, Halloween, and finding a man that looks uncannily like your Great Grandfather. Who would be stressed out in your situation?" Piper took her hand and patted it softly.
Christine looked at Piper and said as calmly as possible, "I am not stressed out enough to be seeing things, Piper. I know what I saw but I cannot explain how I saw it." She looked around the room again. "Halloween," she murmured. "I get it," Christine said in a louder tone, "Halloween! It's Halloween so you guys have some sort of trick or something, right?" She smiled a bright smile. "YES! That is it, it's a trick done with mirrors and lights and what ever it is people use to pull tricks like this!" Christine laughed with delight at figuring out what was going on.
The other looked at each other in amazement and started laughing with her.
"You caught us!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"You figured it out!" Paige exclaimed.
"Way to go!" Leo exclaimed.
Piper looked at Christine and said, "Wow."
"Now, you have to tell me how you did it. " Christine said.
Everyone looked at each other and said in unison, "Ummmm….."
