UOOOH!!! I have so many reviews!!! You'e all so wonderful.. I will share the world with you once I've conquered it!!

Well, first the reviwers, now the disclaimers. I don0t own the Charmed show, if I'd have it's copyright I'd be writing episodes, not fanfictions... well, thinking of it, I 'd be writing both.

Jessie: Thanks, I'm glad to read it.
Magical Princess: Thanks.
Drewfuller4eva: Well... I don't know if they're gonna be as interesting as you say that this is, but there are still some twists left evil grin
Jennie: your review is nearly as long as the chapter itself.. happy happy. All he improvement in the grammar is simply due to mt lovely beta .
Yes, obviously, Chris is kidnapping Wyatt for a very good reason... that he is not telling, obviously because if he did so... well, something bad would happen and the fic would end pretty sooner than expected. Ans he's not telling them who he is... because I've always think that he never intended to do so. After all he is the all work a no fun guy, Piper and the rest knowing what had happened would distract him and could have 'future consequences', etc etc... I think that he'd think that it was pointless.
On the other hand, they didn't hit him with the potion because it wasn't a potion but a power of three spell, and Phoebe wasn't there.
Again, I thank you for your long reviews, I'm happy that you think that my fic is that good because I'm constantly worried for the lack of words and expresions (I always try to check that when writing in spanish). And I'll try and re- post the earlier chapters the moment I can.
teal-lover: Thanks! You'll learn ehat happens, don't worry about that... just not now or it wouldn't be funny.
gabwr: Thanks.
Shina: Hahaha! Read and discover it by yourself... although worried sick is much more accurate.
Karen: I'm glad it earned a capital LOVE!
Christine Marquez: I'm sorry about that, but they're not going to discover it until the story feels ready, it would be pointless otherwise... please, have a little patience.
Lark: Thanks!
Chrissister/Melinda: Thanks , I'm doing my best with the eng... well, in fact I have a great beta working on it.

As always, I want to thank AS Always (silly joke, sorry) for the beta. You're my hero, my muse, my... okay, my lovely beta.

Oh, and I'm happy that you guys enjoyed the grecian/roman myth. It's just that I like the reference, but using it was pointless if no one knew what I was talking about U

Buff... what a preview... okay, no more words and on with the show.


"How's the scrying going?" Piper asked Paige for the 5th time in the last 60 seconds.

"Nothing."

Piper turned to Leo.

"And the sensing?"

The elder just shook his head, unable to answer.

"Phoebe? Do you sense anything? Had any premonitions?"

"At this very moment I just can sense Leo worrying to death. Calm a little man, I can't focus if I have to deal with both sets of feelings..."

"Both?" Piper raised an eyebrow with curiosity.

"Leo and mine's, I'm worried too, you know? He's my nephew."

"Well, you don't seem all that worried..."

Phoebe sighed and turned back to the premonitions, touching both Wyatts and Chris's clothes although none of them seemed to be very useful. Every now and then she would see something, Wyatt wearing this sweater, Chris leaning over the Book of Shadows with that shirt, but nothing useful enough to content Piper. Who was starting to get on her nerves.

She took another mini jumper from the pile and gasped. A kid was wearing that jumper, a kid that wasn't Wyatt, a kid that... that what????? Phoebe threw the shirt across the attic in frustration.
"Did you get something? " Luckily it was Leo that asked and not Piper.
"No, sorry Leo... just some weird premonition about some kid that's going to wear that in some years."

"Who knows, maybe another generation of Halliwells. " guessed Paige while changing the SF map for a world's one.

"Sure... or perhaps it will simply go to charity."

"Hey! Do we remember my son here people?" Piper asked, anger that they could even talk about anything ,but Wyatt at the moment.

Paige went back to work while Phoebe tried to count until 100 very slowly, Piper was worried sick and had every right in the world to be obnoxious.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,...
"Look, Piper, why don't you try to search in the Book of Shadows? " suggested Paige " Maybe there's some summoning spell there."

"No, we tried it before, the book is not helping."

"And what if we try to write a spell?" Now asked Phoebe, feeling once again Leo's distress and Piper's urgency.

"Without the book? And what if we just summon Chris? What if we leave Wyatt alone in some dirty and horrible place? What if... what if... whatever... just keep on sensing, ok?"

31,32,33,34,35... deep breath.

"Ok, I got it, I got it. No summoning him, no looking in the book, no nothing... and what about you, Leo? Any idea."

Leo opened one eye for a moment just to shake his head again. Phoebe felt sorry for him, the worry had aged him ten years at least, his face was crossed with lines of guilt and pain and Piper's hysterics weren't helping.

For half an hour, the only sound in the room was Piper pacing around and asking angry questions, finally, even she sat down and waited in silence. Nothing happened until...

"Bingo!"

"I got him!"

Both, Leo and Paige, screamed at the same time and orbed out without a further explanation.

"We should ban them from doing that without telling us where they are going." said Phoebe.

Piper glared at her and she decided to shut up, mainly because she was actually sensing all the anxiety her sister was feeling at her. The anxiety, the worry, the rage, the expectation, the fear... Piper's emotional turmoil was giving her a huge headache.

Chris being thrown across the room distracted her, though.

Leo had orbed him into the manor and was giving to the half whitelighter a piece of his mind. Soon, Paige orbed into the attic too.

"I'm sorry, he found him first. Wyatt was not there so he just took him here just to... ask a few questions."
Chris was going to find it hard to answer any questions: First because he was crashing into any piece of furniture in the room, and second because Leo wasn't really asking.

"Leo! Leo, stop that! " Piper faced the elder and forced him to stop." We need him able to tell us where's Wyatt. We need him conscious... "

The witch turned to face Chris who was trying to get up, nursing his arm that was clearly broken.

"Where is Wyatt, Chris? Tell us now and you'll be ale to leave the manor alive and in one piece..."

Phoebe looked at the half whitelighter who's eyes were darting across the room. Looking at her, looking at Paige, looking at Piper and at last looking at Leo. Finally he looked at Piper again with a stern look in his eyes.


Piper shook her head, her anger was making her feel dizzy and a little light headed.

And Chris wasn't helping.

Somehow the rage she was feeling some seconds ago had dissipated... no, it was becoming concern. She didn't wanted to blow Chris up for taking Wyatt anymore. She just wanted to hug her son, to have Wyatt with her and forget about this horrible day.

"Chris, tell me where's Wyatt, please... I don't want to hurt you, but I will."

The young man shook his head again.

Piper looked around, searching for some support. Phoebe was looking furiously at Chris, while Paige was averting her eyes. Leo was barely able to stop himself from starting the punching again. It was up to her. She wondered what Prue would do now, what would her smart sister do? What...

"The spell! " cried Paige holding a paper in her hands.

"What?"

"The spell, we can cast the spell at him now and ask about Wyatt!"

Piper sighed, somehow relieved. That was a good idea, that would give her son back, and then she'd deal with Chris in a more sensitive way... blowing him away to Jupiter, probably. But then again, if Wyatt was alright maybe he just would end up on the moon.
"What spell? " the half whitelighter looked at them startled, and that was like the last signal for the sisters to decide. If your enemy shows fear at something... just play it hard on him.

"Leo, care to hold him?" asked Phoebe grinning mischievously.

"I thought you wouldn't ask..."

Piper glared at her sister, was she out of her mind? But the elder was already pinning Chris to the wall, pressing his broken arm and forcing him to scream out in pain. Although that wasn't Piper's idea, the witch couldn't feel very sorry for him at that very moment, so she just hurried to read the spell and get over it.

Words and memories of the mind,
pains and happiness from the past,
traveler from another time,
listen to spell we cast.

Hear our spell and hear our plea,
Let your soul appear to us,
so the path we can foresee,
let yourself release what was.

And with the last word ushered, Chris started to glow.

Soon it was obvious that whatever was happening was sending the guy into hysterics, Leo had realized. He was still screaming, not in a painful way but in a full attack of panic.

Slowly at the beginning and faster later, the glow started to fade away until it finally disappeared, leaving in the attic four really stunned adults and ...a extremely confused early teenager.

"What the hell was that? " The kid looked at them for a while, waiting for an answer that wasn't coming, finally he just shrugged. "Ok, forget that, surely you'll explain it later. I've homework, and Mr. Ryan doesn't care about demons attacking nor crazy Gargoyles... and I just can't use the dog-eating-homework excuse any more... he's not buying it."

The kid crossed the room and went through the door without even looking back at them twice. Just when he was already out did he turned and face Leo. "Oh! And hi to you too, it's nice to see you every now and then."

No one spoke. No one looked at each other. The witches, along with Leo, were still looking speechless at the attic door when the kid returned holding Paige's old plushie and a bra.

'Mmmm... oookay... so... who turned my bedroom into a hollow of horror with..." he showed both things to them. '"stuffed animals and lingerie?"

Paige blushed, hastily grabbing her things.

"Do you mind?"

"Hey! Don't drop your things in my place, and I..."

"That's not your place! Mr. Blinkie was in MY bedroom."

"YOUR bedroom?" The boy turned to Piper with a frown. "What's happening here? What's she talking about? And when did you grow your hair long again?"

"Chris?" Asked the witch. She was starting to feel sick once again, and her not-wanted-anymore whitelighter turned into a teen was not the solution for her problems.

'No, It's Little red ridding hood here..." answered Chris exasperated. Piper looked as if she was going to say something further but then her face went green and she just left the room. Chris rolled his eyes, maybe finally after one too many potions, one too many orbing, one too many hitting the walls... his family had gone nuts. The boy wondered if that would get him out of Monday's exam.

Leo motioned to go after Piper, but Phoebe stopped him.

'Wait some minutes, she's very tired... the best we can do for her is just find him, ok?" The elder nodded, still looking to where his wife had left.

Phoebe grabbed Chris and forced him to sit down in the chair "So let's start the interrogation."

"Hey, get off me!" exclaimed the kid, getting up and away from her. Wonderful... he had no idea about what he had done that had made his aunt so mad at him... At least he hoped that it had been worth the 'interrogation' he was going to receive. Thinking of it... 'Interrogation' was a really scary word coming from someone that usually was on his side.

"C'mon, calm down Pheebs'" Paige stepped between the two of them and looking at her sister a little stunned... not so long ago she was acting like the moderation queen and now she was looking at Chris as if ready to start the torture session "We'll find Wyatt. You said it, Chris is not going to harm him."

"No... he's not, is he?'

Not really wanting to ask about the last comment, Paige got back to the issue.

"So let's guess that the spell backfired a little."

"Spell?" asked Chris.

"What do you think, Leo?" For once, Paige just wanted Leo to act more as an elder and keep cool and less as a worried father. Somehow, Piper's leaving the attic seemed to have put some sense in his head, for he just nodded and turned to Chris.

"Okay, let's keep it straight." said finally the elder. "Do you know who we are?"

"Did you say spell?" repeated Chris, less than interested in whatever his father wanted to know.

"Answer to me." Leo demanded.

"Yes, I do know who you are, did I pass the test? Now, back to the spell thing..."

"Later. Do you know who's Wyatt?"

Chris half curious look changed into a grumpy one. "Blond? Blue eyes? Twice blessed? No, I've not the slightest idea."

"Stop being clever, this is not funny. Now, where's Wyatt?"

Chris face changed yet again from grumpy to angry. His father harassing him about Wyatt was one too many drops in an already full glass of water.
"How am I supposed to know that? Go and sense him with you powers if you're so worried!!"

"I'm starting to loose my patience here, boy..."

"You are? I thought that whitelighters had a never ending bag of that... that it went with the job, if you know what I mean..."

"Look, Chris, we really don't have time for this chat, okay?"

"Wow, is this a real chat between us? It must be fool's day."

"Yep, it looks like he does know who you are." Paige walked again in the middle of the discussion. "Now, see Chris. The thing is that Leo here is pretty worried about Wyatt because he is missing and we can't sense him. Now, we think that you may know where he is..."

Chris looked at the wall, uneasy. He hated it when Wyatt put him in those awkward situations. To lie to his parents or to betray his brother... the answer was easy, though.

"I don't know where Wyatt is."

Paige closed her eyes with concern while Leo simply allowed himself to fall into the couch, covering his face with his hands. Chris felt sorry for them and wondered if Wyatt was going to be alright but, of course, the almighty twice blessed was never wrong. Maybe if he could keep their attention for a little while his brother would be able to come back and make up an excuse for whatever he was doing.

"Now, again... about that spell... you know? I really can't believe you guys cast a spell on me. Which was it? And..." the boy stopped dead in the middle of the sentence and finally took a closer look at his surroundings.

The attic was more or less the same, although there were some new... old stuff here and there. On the other hand, her aunts..."You know, Phoebe? I really love you hair, but I don't remember you saying that you were going to cut it..."

"I didn't cut my hair today..."

"That's my point exactly.'" He was getting nervous, there was something definitely wrong with his family. "Now, and for the last time... can you tell me what the hell is going on here? Please?"

"Sorry, we can't, future consequences' answered Paige with a smirk. ' Oh, thank God, I've been waiting to say that for soooo long..."

"Er...'" was Chris only answer.

Piper came back at that moment, slightly pale.

"Are you alright?" asked Leo, leaning to her.

"Yes, better... I just got nauseas... I think that all this damn worry is getting to me." Piper rubbed her temples, an apparently normal kill-the-demon-day had been getting more and more complicated. How could a normal abnormal day get more abnormal? And what was happening to her stomach? "Any news from future boy here?"

"Yeah... that he doesn't knows that he's a you-know-what boy." stated Paige pulling a face, probably trying to tell her something.

"You-know-what what?" Piper's belly was too messed for her to be subtle enough to get hints.

"You know... a that-thingie boy".

"I'm pretty lost here, Paige, Honey".

The younger Charmed sighed in exasperation and went to Phoebe for help.

"She means that Chris doesn't know where he is" simply said the middle one, rolling her eyes.

At the end, Piper nodded. So that was it, Chris didn't knew that he was in his p...

"Am I in the past?" asked Chris with startled, wide open eyes. Oh... oh... oh oh oh oh holy crap!! That was just so wrong!

Paige stared at him in disbelief.

"I thought he didn't know it?" Piper walked over a couch and sat down, all the confusion plus the nauseas were giving her a huge headache.

"We thought he didn't know it" answered the other two sisters, both at the same time.

"She said it earlier..." Chris signaled his mother "you know... that about me being Future boy. I just figured that something was wrong because all of you seemed pretty young and changed and... well different.".

"I will regret those words in the future, young man' was Paige comment, then something hit her. 'But you really do know us... so we'll meet in the future".

Chris looked at her for a moment like if she was mad, but hastily forced another expression. One far more cool and controlled. In fact, the one Paige had seen him pulling every time the future issue came in the conversation.

"So you don't know me, do you?" he asked in most casual voice he could manage.

"Yeah! We do!" Answered Paige with a big fake of a smile. "You're Chris, and you know us... we know all about you, man... you just love so much to talk us about the future..."

"Sure..." answered the kid rising an eyebrow, Paige lied far better in the future. "Look, you shouldn't be trying to learn anything about the future... time traveling is pretty dangerous, I could end up changing my future, erasing it so I wouldn't have a place where come back. All what could go wrong... oh god, I certainly shouldn't be here. I need to go back home... let's check the book, I'm sure that I saw a spell there..."

Paige held him back and forced him to sit in the chair.

"I was kind of wondering when were you going to say that..."

"To say what?"

"Nothing... whatever, you're not going anywhere until we find where is Wyatt".

Chris kept quiet, he knew far too well when not to push it harder with Paige.
"Well, at least I'd like to know which year...?"

"We are in the year 2004. Does that help?" answered Piper, her head was getting a little better and her stomach seemed more... in the 'digesting' mode.

"2004..." Great... thought the future boy, no little Chris around to piss my powers... yet. "And what the hell am I doing in the year 2004?"

"You came..." Paige was about to answer the whitelighter's question when Phoebe cut off the conversation.

"Chris, baby Wyatt is missing, ok? And you took him away just some hours ago. Now, can you drag us to him now? You know, he's a toddler and you could have put him in danger". Although her voice was kind of quiet there were sharp edges in the whole sentence. As if she was trying to menace him in a very subtle way. That was disturbing, Aunt Phoebe usually preferred the direct threads.

"Why would I take Wyatt away for?" he asked finally, trying to gain some time to figure what the hell was going on.

Oh... his mom, his real older mom, was going to kill him so much the moment he managed to come back.


So what do you think?
