Thanks to everyone for putting up with the confusion! Hopefully it starts straightening out now! For all your Chris-fans, this chapter is for you! Enjoy!

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

"I remember that," Chris admitted. "But that's the last double memory I have."

"They both have double memories," Melinda put in. "They're both weird."

Chris rolled his eyes at his sister then continued. "I've always remembered another life, one where both Wyatt and I have powers, but he's evil and I went back to save him. It's strange, but I've gotten used to it."

Paige snapped her fingers. "That future version of you that we thought had died faded at the same time the present version of you was being born, so that future version must've caught up in time with you, the way I caught up with myself when we came back."

"So Chris wrote down the spell and I used it on my orbing powers." Melinda put them back on track. "And here we are."

"It has to be Billie and Christy," Piper groused.

"Can you please tell us who these Billie and Christy people are?" Grams requested and Patty nodded.

Piper started to explain with her sisters helping, but when she got to the part about Christy being kidnapped by demons as a child, Patty interrupted her. "Oh, that poor child!"

"Some poor child," and Phoebe rolled her eyes. "Billie was fine before she showed up--a bit dumb, maybe, but at least she was our friend."

Patty was still upset. "Wait! If this Billie is a witch that means her sister is a witch, too! What are you girls doing vanquishing fellow witches?"

"Sounds like they turned evil," Grams judged darkly. "That means they're warlocks now, not witches. Of course they must be vanquished."

"But--" Patty started, but Piper shook her head.

"Mom, can we just table this discussion for now? Right now we have to figure out how to get my sons their powers back, since that seems to be part of getting Leo back. Billie and Christy must've used the Hollow to steal Wyatt's powers."

Paige hung her head. "And I stole Chris' while I was possessed by the Hollow." She waved her hand at a lamp, trying to use TK on it. The lamp stayed put. "But I don't have them now. Where did they go?"

"I don't get it," cried Phoebe. "The powers are supposed to go back to their rightful owners after the Hollow is returned to its box!"

It was Grams' turn to hang her head. "But we didn't return the Hollow to its box. We vanquished it. And with it, my great-grandsons' powers! It wasn't such a good plan after all, Piper. I'm so sorry."

"Of course it was a good plan," protested Paige. "It's what our future selves told us to do! It's what they must've done in order to make their future come to be. There must be something else that we need to do!"

"I can only think of one way to get them back," Phoebe told them. "Go back in time and stop the Jenkinses from taking Wyatt's powers in the first place."

Paige nodded. "And if we vanquish them before they summon the Hollow, we won't have to summon it ourselves, so I won't take Chris' powers."

For the first time in a very long time, a genuine smile lit Piper's face. "And we would win the Battle and I'll get Leo back!"

"Only problem is you can't use my powers to go back to them," Coop told them. "My powers only bring you to the ones you love. You certainly don't love those two."
