Chapter 5

Kitchen-2001

Piper and Chris are in the kitchen. Piper is keeping her hands busy, while Chris is just staring at what she is doing.

Piper: Well if you have something to say to me than I suggest you go ahead and say it

Chris: I have nothing to say but you didn't add enough salt

Piper: How do you know what to add, this is not even a real recipe

Chris: Because I know when you cook you have to make sure that everything is balanced. Someone very special taught me that.

Piper: So I guess in this alternate time line you don't hate me, what am I the cool mom

Chris: Cool mom you are more than the cool mom. You are soccer mom, PTA mom, and even the hot mom, well that is what most of my friends say.

Piper: Than why does it seem like you hate me if I am so wonderful

Chris: I don't hate you mom, it is just weird that is all. I mean I know you and dad, I mean Leo have had yall problems but you have always made your way back to each other. To see you kiss another man is just weird that is all.

Piper watching Chris talk makes her doubt her judgment. If he is my child, he certainly has my hair, but hose eyes they belong to Leo. I wonder if I made a mistake choosing Dan over him.

Chris: Mom, are you listening to me, Do you still love Leo

Piper: Huh, well it is complicated. I thought that when I went to the future I saw me and Leo were divorced so I thought we didn't have a chance to make it. Now seeing you boys here, it makes me doubt decision.

Chris: But you know as well as I that the future is always subject to change. Look at what happened to Aunt Prue.

Piper: I guess you are right, how did you get so smart anyways.

Chris: I had incredible parents who taught me well

Dan has just walked back to the manor to apologize to Piper but stops when he hears Chris and Piper talking. When he hears the name Leo he starts to get more upset.

Piper: So tell me how close are we, in this other timeline

Chris: Well me and you are real close, you still call me by my nickname which is peanut

Piper: No I meant with Leo, just how close are we.

Chris: You guys are the closest. Sometimes when we are eating dinner, you guys just stare at each other from across the table. You are forever kissing in front of us all the time and sometimes you forget that we can see you. Plus we cannot count all the times you guys were busy, I mean really busy. It has been quite disgusting if you ask me

Piper: So you saying that we don't fight, that we are the perfect couple

Chris: Perfect hardly, you blow dad up at least once a week for making you mad or doing something stupid. And you hate his job because it takes up half of his time. But then he makes up for by buying you flowers, or orbing you to a very romantic cabin that you two brought. It is very secluded because no one in the family knows were it is so you guys get all the privacy you want.

Piper: Wow, we must really love each other in that timeline

Chris: I don't care what timeline you are in, your love for dad can be seen by everyone.

Piper just looks at Chris and knows that he is right, no matter how hard she tried to deny it her love has always been for Leo. He was the love of her life and it took the help from a 16 year old boy to show her that. Dan upset that he heard the conversation between Chris and Piper and storms out of the house to his house

Dan's House-2001

Dan is so upset that he is literally trashing his house, There is broken glass and trash all over the floor.

Dan: I can't believe that son of bitch has came back to steal my women away. Like hell I need some help. (He goes to draw his gun and suddenly jumps when he sees a figure in the corner smiling at him)

Man: I am sorry did I frighten you. You seem a little jumpy

Dan: Who the hell are you, what do you want from me

Man: I want nothing from you, but I can do something for

Dan: What can you do for me, what are you a demon or something

Man: I am an or something. They call me Andres and I am a dark lighter. It seems that I will be able to help you with your Leo problem

Dan: How can you help, Leo is immortal meaning that he can never die.

Andres: If you know that he can never die, why were you attempting to shoot him. No you see I am the most deadly weapon against white lighters. You seem this (shows him the cross bow), this arrows are dipped in deadly poison that kills white lighters.

Dan: So you want to kill Leo, what good would that do me

Andres: Well it will get Leo away from you woman and you wouldn't have to worry

Dan: And what do you get out of this, it seems like something is in it for you

Andres: Leo is one of the best whit lighters in the field. Killing him will give me great status in the underworld and bring me great glory.

Dan: If I set this up, will you promise not hurt Piper, I want nothing to happen to her.

Andres: You have my word, nothing will happen to the Charmed Ones, my arrows only kill white lighters.

Dan: Well we have to set up a trap, and I know exactly how to do that.
