Title:Dirty Little Secret

Rating T: Language

Disclaimer:I do not own Charmed or any of its characters. I do however own Prue, Mel, Penny and Allen.

Summary: The Charmed ones want to know what's up with Chris. So they cast a spell. And what should happen? Exactly the opposite of what they wanted. Takes place after The Courtship of Wyatt's Father, but the girls don't know who Chris is.

Authors NoteThis, and all chapters after, were edited better than the first. I forgot to do a check on that before I posted it. And I was to lazy to do it after.

Review replies:

Thanks to everyone who reviewed.

Previously, on Charmed:

"Why didn't you tell them?"

"Because I didn't want to mess things up. You cant tell them either, ok."

Penny sighed. "Fine. Can we go back now. I want to see mom."

"Yes. We can go back. But you can't tell your mom who you are, okay." Penny nodded. "Allen?" Allen nodded. "Good."

Part two: Fate Likes to Play Games with Your Head

"What the hell does he think he's doing? He can't just leave like that. CHRIS! CHRIS GET YOUR ASS BACK DOWN HERE!"

"Piper, I don't think it's going to work," Phoebe said.

"Like hell it won't. CHRIS!" Piper called again. "I want answers now!"

"He'll come back when he's ready to. Unless a demon were to attack and we called for him. I think he might come then," Paige said.

"Okay then, we'll summon a demon."

"Piper!" Phoebe smacked her sister playfully.

Piper huffed and sat down in the chair, awaiting answers.

Not a minute later, the sound of orbs entered the room and Chris, Allen and Penny appeared.

"Up for explaining now?" Piper asked, standing up.

"Not really."

Piper glared. "Who are they?"

"My cousins. Allen and Cleo Petra."

"I though her name was Penny?" Paige said.

"Its a nickname. After...never mind."

"How did they get here?"

"Your screwed up spell. Which we have to reverse sometime soon. There's only so long a 12 year old can keep quiet."

Said 12 year old was currently staring wide-eyed at Paige.

"Why's Penny...Cleo...Whatever. Why is she staring at me?" Paige asked.

"Subtle," Chris groaned. "We're reversing this now."

"But..." Penny complained.

Chris shook his head and grabbed the original spell and began to rewrite it.

20 minutes passed while Chris was writing the spell. Penny had managed to spill a bit of information about Wyatt and the future in said amount of time.

"...And Chris has been leading the Resistance ever since..."

"Here," he interrupted, handing the sisters the paper.

They read it allowed and the portal began to glow again.

"Bye Chris," Penny and Allen sighed, hugging him and walking towards the portal.

"Wait!" Chris said.

"Chris, I do recall your the one who wanted us to leave," Penny said.

"Yes, but the portal is the wrong color." He turned to the Charmed ones, "What color was it when they came through?"

"Greenish yellow. Why?" Phoebe answered.

"Damn," he sighed, head in his hands.

The portal was now varying shades of pink and red.

"I don't know how that spell could have backfired. I worded it perfectly," Chris said shaking his head.

"What are you talking about, nothings wrong," Piper said, "Ok, so the portals the wrong color but..."

She was cut off by two more people tumbling through the portal.

"You were saying?" Chris smiled sarcastically. "Why do these spells keep backfiring on me?" he sighed to himself.

"Fate likes to play games with your head," one of the new arrivals said, standing and helping her companion up.

The first had shoulder length dark brown hair. She was probably 20, though as Chris said before, it was not uncommon for people to look older than they were. She was wearing black Capri's, a black tank top, black steel-toe boots, and a trench coat fading from black to red. She had several potions and weapons stashed throughout the getup.

The second had long dark blonde hair. She looked about the same age as the first. She was almost the complete opposite of the other, aside from being her identical twin. She was wearing blue flare jeans, a white tank top, and a long, hippie-like jacket-thing that faded from purple to pink(A/N: The thing that Patty wore in Forever Charmed. I have no idea what it's called, if anyone does, review and I'll change it). She carried a small purse that held several potions, and a few knives were hidden away.

"I've noticed," Chris replied.

"What, no welcome. No hello?" The first said.

"Hi Prue," Chris said, rolling his eyes slightly.

The other cleared her throat.

"Hi Mel."

"What are we doing here? Are we where I think we are?" Mel asked.

As Chris explained, the Charmed ones were having a conversation of their own.

"Notice anything familiar about them?" Phoebe asked.

"Oh, you mean like Penny being the spitting image of the Grams we saw a few months ago in 1967? And Prue and Mel looking a lot like..." Paige started.

"Prue and mom, yeah," Phoebe continued.

Piper however, did not join the conversation. She was busy watching Chris and presumably his cousins. She too noticed the similarities between the girls and her mom and Grams. But her thoughts were else where.

Could I have been right before? She asked herself. Is there a chance that my thoughts about him from the beginning were true?

She also noticed how he treated them. More like a father than a cousin.

"Piper?" Paige's call broke her out of her thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"Something wrong?"

"No. Just lost in though."

Suddenly a loud shock of thunder erupted from outside, accompanied by a brilliant flash of lightning that lit up the night sky(A/N: That sounds so corny:)).

Allen, surprised by the shock, sent half a dozen energy balls bouncing around the room. Ok, they wouldn't have been bouncing if it weren't for the individual shields put up by Chris' cousins. Penny's was once again green, Prue's red, Mel's pink, and Allen's yellow. Chris orbed to the sisters, somehow knowing what was coming and put a large white field around the four of them. The yellow energy balls bounced off the others shields, but dissipated into Chris'.

"Okay," Piper started after Allen apologized for not controlling his powers better. "What's up with the colorful array of shields?"

"It kinda runs through out family. Well, the six of us really," Mel tried to explain, "The color reflects our aura."

"Six?" Paige asked, "I count five."

"My brother," Chris said quietly. "His was blue."

"Was?" Piper asked.

"Until he went crazy and... now its black." He couldn't seem to tell what happened.

"What happened?" Phoebe asked.

"I'd rather not," Chris said, before orbing out.

"Where'd he go this time?" Paige asked.

"Probably the Bridge. He goes up there to think. A lot when he has to much time on his hands and cant keep the memory out of his head..."

Prue was interrupted by Leo orbing in.

"Where's Chris, I sensed he was here?"

"He was. He just left, why?"

"I need to talk to him. When will he be back?"

"A few minutes probably," Mel said, "Just once he calms down."

"Who are they?" Leo asked, noticing the company.

"Ah, long story. What happened Prue?" Piper said.

"He was 14. We were nine, and they were to young to remember," Prue indicated to Allen and Penny. "But it affected Chris the most."

The next chapter is a flashback told by Mel and Prue. Names are used in the flashback, but as they tell it, they leave names out, and use code names.

Constructive criticism please. Reviews please. I'll take flames too, just so I know how bad the story is.
