Author's notes: Sorry for keeping you waiting! I'm really optimistic about the story, it is turning out better than I imagined- of course thanks for the reviews, they really cheered me up!

Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed… otherwise I would be the happiest person in the world.

(Scene: Magic School continue from before, Leo, Coop and the kids are standing behind a w all for cover, Jo raps her arms around her knees and buries her face –still crying- in her arms. Paige is beside her trying to comfort her; Piper and Phoebe are standing talking to the demon)

Demon (with a smirk on his face): No! No! You think any demon from the future, especially as powerful as I am, would be affected by your powers (pointing at the charmed ones)

Piper: You're from the future?

Demon: Well… not really. I've been there though!

Phoebe (confused): So you're from this time line?

Demon: Not Really! (Paige stands up & stands beside her sisters)

Paige: Then… You're from the past!

Demon: NO!

Piper: Then where the heck are you from?

Demon: I am a PACER or to be exact THE PACER! And I'm back thanks to her. (pointing at Jo)

Phoebe (having no idea what he is talking about): A Pacer?

Demon (surprised): You don't know what a pacer is? (The 3 girls shake their heads)

Demon (muttering): Of course you don't know!

Phoebe: What did you say?

Demon: Nothing, I'm just surprised! Anyway I more powerful than you'll ever be! And the only one, who might have actually a chance in saving you, currently can't! (Pointing with his head to a still sobbing Jo.)

Demon (Smiling): So say your goodbyes because you can't even dream about stopping me! (Looking at Piper and Phoebe)

Paige: In a matter of fact I do! (She raises her hand and orbs emit from it they go towards the demon, they then send him crashing to the wall as soon as they touched him, the orbs then disappear)

(The demon helps himself up and looks angrily at Paige, and her sisters look surprised.)

Piper (whispering): You might have pissed him off!

Paige (whispering): You think!

Demon: My… My… You shouldn't have done that cause I can make you regret it!

Paige (sarcastically): Oh Yeah? Show me!

Demon: Let me show you who I am, cause I'm not to be messed with! (He lifts his hand into a fist and it starts to glow red but Leo runs in carrying Wyatt)

Leo (shouting): Noooooooo! (As soon as the demon sees Wyatt he lowers his hand and look into his eyes, Wyatt raises up his shield protecting himself, his father and his aunts)

Demon: You've always been a wise one Leo, taking cover behind your son but let me tell you something, he was never and will never be a threat to me! (The demon lifts his hand again this time it glows blue and Wyatt's force field is sucked into it, leaving everyone defenseless)

Demon: See! I could take you all out in a sec, but seeing that I like the course of action and changes through time, I'll leave for now but needless to say, I'll be back. (He glances at still crying Jo and then back at the Halliwell family. He walks away and then disappears as if he wasn't even there)

Piper: Oh thank God! I thought he'll kill us! (Leo carrying Wyatt sits on the couch. Phoebe is going to Jo)

Phoebe: Honey please stop crying! (Before she can reach her Jo lifts her head up –her eyes are red from the amount of tears she cried, her face is also flushed)

Jo (apparently struggling not to cry anymore): Please… just …stay away from me! (Phoebe stops)

Phoebe (surprised): Oh! I just thought that anyone who cried needed someone to comfort them!

Paige: Well not anyone ! And she kinda doesn't want YOU to get near, because you might get a premonition! (Phoebe is surprised to see Paige hearing her thoughts and more surprised from the answer)

Phoebe: Excuse me but can I keep my thoughts to myself!

Jo: Me too!

Paige: Sorry!

(Coop carrying Chris then come in, Coop hands Chris to Piper who is now sitting on the couch beside Leo carrying Wyatt, Phoebe goes back and stand beside Paige and Jo leans her head back on the wall for support but she is still crying.)

Piper: So… who's this guy?

Phoebe: He didn't say! (She looks at Paige) Did you pick any name?

Paige: No! Only that he called himself THE PACER!

Piper: Yeah what's a pacer? Leo!

Leo: Well I don't know much about them cause there are only a few pacers around the world.

Piper: So what are they?

Leo: All I know is that they exist beyond time and space. And there is one from each type of persons.

Phoebe: This one surely was the demonic one! (Leo nods)

Coop: But the demonic one is called THE pacer because he is the only one pacing around only to his advantages.

Piper: Of course, he's evil!

Paige: So how do we stop him?

Leo: Apparently you don't, he's really powerful!

Piper: Well… He said that she might be able to. (Pointing at Jo)

Leo: He also said that she currently can't!

Piper: Well CURRENTLY has to end soon because we really need her! (She looks at Jo)

Jo: I… I can't…

Piper (interrupting): What do you mean you can't? He said you can!

Jo: He doesn't… know me! I can't. (She stands up and heads for the door)

Piper: Hey I'm talking to you (The door is blown up to pieces as Piper lifts her hand up)

(Jo stops and turns around surprised, so is everyone in the room including Piper)

Paige (sarcastically): Here comes the temper.

Jo: What are you trying to do? Kill me!

Piper: That was an accident!

Jo: Yeah right! (She turns around and heads to get out of the broken door)

Piper: Hey don't you walk away from me (Jo continues walking) I mean it. (Jo stops and turns around)

Jo (frustrated): What do you want?

Piper: ME? Nothing just want you to stop the demon before he KILLS US!

Jo: He won't!

Paige: How do you figure?

Jo: It's not on HIS advantages list!

Piper: Oh like killing THE charmed ones isn't on any demon's advantage list.

Jo: He's not ANY demon. Anything else?

Phoebe: Why are you running away from the fight?

Jo: There isn't a fight to run away from. (Jo turns around to continue walking)

Paige: Hey! Where are you going? (Jo stops and sighs and then turns around really frustrated)

Jo: I've got some things that I have to sort out.

Piper (muttering but loud enough for Jo to hear): Yeah maybe going back to the future is one of the things that needs sorting! (Jo giving her -'I heard that'- look)

Jo: Why is that?

Piper: Because you're not doing any good staying in the past!

Jo: Excuse me!

Phoebe: I hate to agree but so far you led to the death of 3 innocents, brought a demon to magic school and brought back a demon from God knows where!

Jo: Oh is that so!

Piper: You're completely irresponsible and you haven't be able to help of any kind and we don't really know what did you come back to the future!

Jo: Unbelievable! (She looks at Leo for support)

Leo: I'm sorry JO but they are right!

Jo (starting to get angry): What?

Leo: We can't trust you unless you tell us at least what you came to change!

Jo (sarcastically): Oh I thought we passed the trust phase when I told you who I am LEO !

Leo: I can't be sure! Some things doesn't add up!

Jo (angrily): Doesn't add up! I give up everything my family, my life just to come back to the past to change it only to be rejected by YOU telling me that I'm useless and Irresponsible!

Phoebe: We have no idea what you came to change, and why; and we have no idea what you have given up!

Jo (sarcastically but still angrily): Oh I don't know just … EVERYTHING !

Piper (angrily): All we know about you that you had a sister… who is apparently dead… because of you! (Tears weld up in Jo's eyes)

Leo: Something that I didn't know about! I don't think I know who you are anymore!

Paige: We know who you are? But even though… your acts doesn't prove good deeds!

Jo (angrily): Oh you know who I am? (Paige nods)

Jo: Apparently not! (She takes one last look at everyone then orbs out while looking at Wyatt)

Phoebe: You think we did a right thing here!

Piper: I don't know but it's officially not OUR problem anymore!

Paige: You think she'll go back to the future?

Piper: I don't know, let's hope so!

Leo: What about the demon?

Phoebe: I don't know but he said he is coming back.

Paige: But not today! (She yawns) All this action got me tired I'm gonna get home!

Piper: Yeah me too!

Phoebe: ME three! (She goes over to Coop and hugs him then they teleport out)

Piper: Bye Paige!

Paige: Bye! (Leo, Piper, Chris and Wyatt orb out; Paige then orbs out too)

( Suddenly the pacer demon becomes visible and smiles)

Hope you liked the chapter! Please review and tell me what you think!

One more thing! I need you to do me a favor and suggest a name for that demon I hadn't been able to come up with something impressive!

Thanks for reading!
