As most of you know, I can only download at work, so I won't be able to update again until Monday. However, just because you guys have been SO wonderful with your responses, if I get at least 3 reviews before I leave this weekend, I'll post another one! This doesn't end on the most suspenseful of cliffies, but it is the scene that I promised earlier! Also things should start becoming even clearer! Enjoy!
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
"But our spell should work," Melinda pointed out. "If we knew when, we could tweak the spell so it would use my orbing powers to take all of us to that time."
"Well, when did these two steal Wyatt's powers?" Grams asked.
"I should know," Wyatt admitted. "But unlike Chris and his double life, I can't remember that far back. I remember coming back here as an adult and becoming evil and then becoming good again and remember seeing myself with powers, but I just vaguely remember having powers myself; so I don 't remember when I lost them."
"But little Wyatt might," Chris suggested. "I remember he was a pretty special little boy when I was here before."
Wyatt smiled. "Thanks, bro."
Melinda rolled her eyes at both of her brothers. "So let's go get little Wyatt," and she started to head for the stairs.
"He's at your grandfather's condo," Piper told her. "Do you remember the way, Chris?"
"Sure. Melinda can take us there. Mel, it's the same one he has in our time--he never moved."
"Can I go with you?" Patty asked.
"Dad will be there!" Phoebe warned her.
Patty smiled. "I know. I miss him."
Grams shook her head. "Must be from the time before I kicked him out." She shook her head. "Marrying someone who's not magical. They'd never understand, so it never works. I should know."
Patty stared at her mother in hurt shock, while Paige and Piper exchanged, "Oh, yeah?" looks, thinking of Henry and Leo.
"Never mind," Coop told Patty gently. Then he looked at the others. "May I come, too? I would like to see this reunion," and there was a twinkle in his eyes. The others nodded and Coop looked back at Phoebe. "I'll be back. We have to talk."
Phoebe just sighed impatiently. She didn't want to talk to someone who was magical. Grams was wrong. Marrying someone magical wasn't a good idea, no matter what she might have done in a different future. Not when it was forbidden. No matter what she felt for Coop in her heart.
So Melinda took Chris and Wyatt's hands, while Patty took Chris' and Wyatt took Coop's. As they began to orb out, Piper yelled, "Hurry back as soon as you find anything." As soon as they were gone, she turned to the others. "We have to get to the Book of Shadows, so we can figure out how to vanquish Billie and Christy and get Leo back. Paige?"
Paige nodded, glad to have Piper back in control, and soon they were all taking the Paige Express to Phoebe's loft and the Book of Shadows.
Soon Grams and Piper were busy working on brewing a potion. "We don't have enough herbs."
"Grams! They're human, not demons!"
"But they're evil. We can't take chances." She smiled at the Book of Shadows. "Look how thick it is! I'm so proud of you, Piper, all of you. If Paige is a part of the Power of Three, it must mean that Prue isn't," and Piper nodded, blinking her eyes. "So you've had to take over. Oh, my precious girl! I'm so very proud of you! When Patty and Paige and Coop found me, I was right in the midst of telling you that you were just as special as Prue and Phoebe."
Piper smiled. "I remember that. It's one of my favorite memories."
"I was right, wasn't I?
