"Thank god they got out" said Piper and Leo nodded
Phoebe on the other hand was looking at her oldest sister and her ex-brother in law in surprise. They were the main protagonist who disliked Chris but they, they looked so relieved to see Chris escape. This made her smile, at least these memories were handy in one thing, and unknowingly her sister and Leo had started to like their young whitelighter. Paige had noticed this too and smiled at that too.
"Well, well, well, at least these memories are having an amazing side effect, look how relieve you two are at the fact that Chris wasn't really burned at stake" said Paige
"Yep, at the start of the day, you two wouldn't care that much about Chris, I would say almost bordering on hatred" said Phoebe raising her eyebrows
"I never hated Chris Phoebe, just annoyed and very frustrated but never hate" said Piper that really was the truth "However, seeing what kind of life he lead, I can see why he is how he is and so desperate for demon hunting, god if demon hunting can prevent this, I wont complain"
"I know, seeing that, I wont complain to Chris or blow him for a date anymore…" said Phoebe, feeling selfish for her behaviour now…
"I don't understand myself anymore, suspicious or not, I don't know why I treated him like I have" said Leo suddenly, he was an Elder; he was suppose to protect all the innocents, why didn't he try to protect or give Chris the benefit of the doubt? He was an innocent too but he ignored that!
"I know, we save so many innocents but we forgot that Chris is half witch too" said Paige
Before Piper could start talking, suddenly the scene shifted again
The scene now appeared to be in P3 again, but this time it was Cole, who was looking at the window
Phoebe froze as she looked at Cole again, shocked at the fact that sometime in the future she would marry Cole again and this time he would stay good.
"Well, another epic love story that finally prevails in the future" said Piper smiling as she looked at Cole, at which Phoebe slightly smiled
Suddenly blue orbs swirled and it formed into Prue
"Wow I still can't get used to the fact that Prue is a Whitelighter" said Phoebe, for the first time seeing her sister orb
"Are they okay? Did you find them?" asked Prue
"Chris and Prue are fine, they orbed here although from what they came, that I am pissed at Prue for" said Cole, his eyes tightening
"I am guessing this is after the burning" said Piper
"But what I don't understand is, if there is no Chris, why are we even seeing this?" asked Paige
"This isn't a memory that Chris physically saw but this is surrounding Chris so I guess that is why we are seeing it" said Leo, rationalizing
"What happened?" asked Prue
"What happened? Because of my daughter's random rebelliousness, Chris and she were almost burned in the stake!" shouted Cole angrily
"What? The witch hunters had them?" asked Prue, her face pale
"Yes, and they barely escaped because of Chris's plan to astral project, it's a good thing you taught him how to teach other witches to astral project, if you hadn't my daughter would have burned too" said Cole
"Wow, Prue taught Chris how to teach others to Astral Project?" said Paige outloud in surprise
"Well, I guess with Chris as her charge, she tried to teach him everything she knows" said Leo
"Cole, she is only doing this because you smother her" said Prue
"I have every reason to be over protective, nothing is safe anymore, as you just saw, just as she had gone out of my watch, the witch hunters took them. Not only that, because of Prue's carelessness, it cost Chris almost his life too" said Cole
"Cole…" said Prue understanding in her tone, as if she finally understood what was bugging Cole more
"Wow, it's so funny, Prue out of all of us was the one who was most suspicious of Cole, now look at that" said Piper smiling
"Guess it shows he really is good then" said Leo
"I promised her when she died that I would protect Chris with my life too, and because of my daughter's carelessness I almost broke that promise too" said Cole, when Piper had died, he had promised her that he would protect Chris with everything he had
"It's not your fault Cole, so far you have done everything, to protect your daughter and Chris" said Prue
"Whoa! Cole knew Chris's mother and promised to her to keep Chris safe" asked Phoebe surprised
"I wonder why, and by the looks of it, they were close too for Cole to be like that" said Paige
"Besides, I am still surprised how, out of all the persons in the world, you and Piper ended up being best friends. I still cant wrap my head around that fact that Piper, my sister, explosive Piper, became your best friend and you her" said Prue smiling, Cole and Piper had become best friend, this was also why Chris was close to Cole, heck closer to Cole than he was to Leo. Cole and Victor were the only close male figure in Chris's life
"What?" screamed Piper, Paige and Leo
Phoebe looked surprised at that
"You and Cole? Best Friends? Really?" asked Phoebe surprised
"No offense, but never in a million years I saw that one coming" said Leo surprised
"Neither did I" said Piper surprised
"Don't be hard on her, she feels bad enough" said Prue
"Wow, my ex source husband and you best friends? I am shocked but in a way happy I think" said Phoebe smiling
"There is one thing that is still not settling for me" said Piper "Why did Wyatt, even though he is evil, react so drastically to Chris's supposed death? He didn't care when Pratt was about to burn Prue, his own cousin, he said he didn't care what happens to her but Chris, because of Chris, he reacted so drastically, why?" asked Piper surprised
"I know what you mean, I wonder why he did that" said Leo, wondering why their son was like that
At that, the scene started shifting immediately
It shifted into the attic in the future
There was a boy of 5 year old in the attic, he had dark blonde hair and he had blue eyes
"Oh my god that is Wyatt!" said Piper and Leo spontaneously
He was tapping his foots and his arms were crossed, he seemed to look around
"Well, at least he wasn't that evil in his childhood then, something must have happened to him to trigger him" said Leo
"Chr-is! Come on, show up!" shouted Wyatt impatiently as he couldn't find what or who he was looking up
"Chris? Did Wyatt and Chris know each other in their child hood" wondered Paige
At this, Piper looked thoughtful, was it possible that her little boy would meet Chris sometime in their time?
"Chris! Fine I give up, you win, you are officially the king of hide and seek, now show up already! I have been searching for you for 2 hours!" said Wyatt huffing
"They are playing hide and seek?" asked Leo amused
As soon as Wyatt said that, suddenly 2 year old Chris appeared beside Wyatt.
"That is Chris? Oh my god he is soo adorable!" screeched Phoebe instantly looking at little Chris
"Man, I am not as maternal as you two but he is adorable, I want to actually cuddle him and I am not like that" said Paige smiling
Piper watched Chris in surprise too, indeed he was adorable, just seeing him so small, and she didn't know why her maternal instincts kicked in even more in full force
"I think it is more because we are not used to seeing him, so innocent and vulnerable, seeing most the times he is so tough" said Piper
"Hey! You cheated Chris, you were invisible, no wonder I couldn't find you" said Wyatt
"Oh pwease, if you had the power to be invisible too, you would have used it too in this game. Beside I would have beaten you anyway without my invisibility power" said Chris smiling proudly
"He has the firepower of invisibility?" asked Paige surprised
"Well he is half Elder so I guess that makes sense" said Leo
"True" said Wyatt smiling at his little brother
"O-kay, tell you what, since I am officially the king of hide and seek, I shall give you mercy and this time I will count and you will hide" said Chris standing tall, to do an impression of a 'king'
"Done deal" said Wyatt and they both did a mocking hand shake as if they were doing a deal
"They are so adorable together" whispered Piper and Leo seemed to agree too, nodding his head
"Count to 50" said Wyatt and disappeared in orbs and Chris closed his eyes and started counting
"1, 2…" started Chris
And slowly the scene started to fade away
"Oh my god that was soo cute!" said Phoebe
"So Wyatt knew Chris, probably very well too, by the way they were so familiar with each other, its almost like they were best friends" said Leo
"That kind of explains him throwing a gasket at Chris's safety, but I still cant get the fact that Wyatt would care more over his best friend than his own blood?" said Paige "Not that I have anything against Chris, it just surprises me"
"I know what you mean" said Phoebe
"They are two years apart" said Piper suddenly
"So?" asked Leo confused at Piper's random fact
"Leo! They are two years apart and Wyatt is 6 months old! Which means sometime next year we might meet the Chris of our time, baby Chris" said Piper "Look at them, they look close, so next year we will meet little Chris somehow"
"Your right, we haven't thought of that, wow, to meet the little guy who's future version has been our whitelighter, that has to be weird" said Paige
"Yeah but this time we will make sure the Chris of our time that we will meet will have a better future than this, we are going to listen to him more and help him" said Piper determined, which the other sisters nodded too
"I am with you there sister" said Paige
"It's about time we start helping him, I will have to try to make amends with him when we go back" said Leo
The scene changed and it appeared to be the Golden Gate Bridge, by the darkness it seemed to be night time and on top of the Golden Gate Bridge, there was a boy sitting on it.
The Charmed ones and Leo got closer to get a better look
They saw Chris, but he seemed to 14 years old now and his eyes were puffy as if he had been crying
"I wonder why he was crying" said Paige
He seemed to look down towards the cars that were passing by
"Oh we are high, we are very high" said Piper and instinctively held onto Leo
"Don't worry, we are in a memory, if you fall nothing will happen to you" said Leo
"That's not comforting" said Piper and Leo shrugged
Suddenly few chimes appeared and it formed into a man with blonde hair and green eyes.
"Oh my god that's Leo! Future Leo!" shouted Phoebe
Leo looked surprised at seeing himself
"Future Leo knew Chris" asked Piper
Leo's face was blank, but his eyes were filled with pain
"What's wrong with you?" asked Piper
"I don't know…" said Leo confused
Chris, seeing to hear the chimes, turned his head and looked at Leo, expressionless
"Well…look what the cat dragged in, must have been a very giant cat to drag his highness from his mighty perch" said Chris
"Huh, I am guessing even in the future Chris wasn't a big fan of you" said Paige
"The question is why" said Leo
"Chris…" Leo tried talking
"Stay away from me, you don't care, you never cared and when I called you, you didn't bloody come, why the hell are you here now!" shouted Chris
"What's going on?" asked Leo confused
"Chris your mother…" Leo tried talking, but as soon as he said that, he was flung 20 feet away from Chris
"Don't talk about her! It's all because of you she is gone! You didn't come, you didn't think it was important enough, I don't bloody care anymore!" shouted Chris
"Stay away from me" he said and disappeared in orbs, leaving Leo on the Bridge
