Where is it, where is it? Joan Lin thought to herself as she searched through the boxes in the attic. Ah there it is Joan Lin thought as she spotted a small box at the bottom of one of the larger ones. As she pulled the box out, her feelings were mixed. Ten years ago, she swore never to use this thing again. But now she was doing it for someone she barely knew. She still wasn't sure why. Perhaps it was something to do with the girl's age. After all she couldn't be much older than her own daughter Hay Lin. Yes that was probably it. With a sigh, she headed downstairs.

"Do you think we lost them?" puffed Alice as the girls stopped running.

"Yeah I think we lost them." Sarah replied as she caught her breath. "But I think I have an idea about what Rebecca was talking about."

"What, really?" the other two girls said simultaneously. Sarah nodded.

"Yup. You know how Rebecca uses items to bend space around her? Well maybe she's discovered something to bend time as well. After all if you can effect one, you can effect the other, right?"

Alice and Hannah looked at each other. When it came to stuff like this Anzu and Sarah were well ahead of their classmates. This would be annoying were it not for the fact that they were barely passing English class. And they were often willing to help the others when they were struggling.

"Umm non genius talk for the rest of us please? We're not you and Anzu you know." Hannah asked.

"Sorry. Well basically it goes like this. Time and space are related. That's why when we fought her everything was out of whack. What I'm saying is that maybe she's bent time the same way."

"So basically she's travelled in time and altered it. Why didn't you just say so in the first place?"

Alice asked in an annoyed voice.

"Hey it's not my fault you don't pay attention in science." Sarah retorted angrily. It looked like the start of an argument had Hannah not intervened.

"Guys, guys, can we focus on the situation at hand. If that's the case how do we fix it?"

"I don't know. But I do know that if we'll probably do better with the five of us, ok." Sarah replied.

"I suggest we stick together. Without our powers it's the only way we'll be able to come together when we find the others." Suggested Alice, determined to prove that she wasn't stupid.

"I agree. I suggest we start by searching Heatherfield Central Park." Said Sarah.

Caleb looked at the young man that had materialised in his tent. He had seen all sorts of strange things with W.I.T.C.H and later with his daughter when she led the new guardians. With a sigh he began to start asking questions.

"You're Thomas Vandom right?" he asked in a hostile voice.

Thomas nodded. He was more than aware that it was not a good time for smart comments.

"Seeing as Will and Matt never had any children I find that hard to believe." Said Caleb. Anzu glared at him.

"Weren't you listening to what I said?" she began angrily "The past has been changed idiot. Wait did you say Will and Matt?"

Caleb sighed. The news that the lead singer of the infamous band Cobalt Blue was getting married to an old school friend Will Vandom had been all over the news when it had happened.

"Yes Will Vandom and Matthew Olsen." He looked at them "As in the couple who everyone was talking about a few months ago."

"Hold on a moment, that was Hay Lin and Matt, not Will and Matt. Will was supposed to have married you." Anzu said in a surprised voice.

"No, Will and I USED to date. But we broke up years ago." Caleb said in an angry voice. "After that I began dating Cornelia. Will didn't object, she had another boyfriend by then."

"That's what he meant!" exclaimed Thomas Vandom. "Search for the love that started too soon. Of course, he must have been talking about Will and Caleb."

There was a bemused look on Caleb's face.

"Oh come on off it. How dangerous can love be?" He asked, clearly amused

"You'd be surprised." Thomas growled in reply

Joan Lin sat in the basement with Melinda and waited. She didn't want to take any chances until the guardians had returned. After all, this was dangerous magic. It wouldn't kill her, but it would leave Joan severely weakened for a few hours.

"Penny for your thoughts" Melinda asked, bringing her out if her reverie.

Joan just smiled sadly. "I'm doing something I swore I'd leave well enough alone. You see, Yan Lin isn't the only one with secrets in her past. I'll explain more when the girls are back." Leaving Melinda to ponder what secrets lay in Joan's past that she didn't want to talk about.

"So lets get things straight. To fix the timeline, you want me to go to the place where Will and I fell in love." Asked Caleb.

"Yeah that's the idea. We'll need the others though, otherwise it probably won't work." Thomas replied. He was having difficulty in persuading Caleb to go along with the plan. Fortunately for Thomas and Anzu, he wasn't the only person they were trying to convince.

"Come on Caleb. If there's a chance they're right, then we should look into it." Cornelia interjected. "And if it's a trap we should be able to get out easily enough."

Caleb sighed again. He seemed to be doing far too much of that lately.

"Fine I'm in. But how are we going to get to Meridian? We don't have anything that can open portals at all. The heart of Candracar was destroyed when Candracar fell, as well as Blunk and many others."

It was Anzu who answered him. "We'll begin by finding the others first. Then we'll worry about getting there, ok?"

"Just one more thing. I'd better fill Melinda in so she can do the same." Thomas said in a calm voice.

A familiar voice cut into Melinda's thoughts. "Hiya sis. I've got some news for you. First off time/space has sent me to our time to fix the damage on our end. I've made contact with Anzu, dad and Cornelia. Turns out that in this timeline he married Cornelia instead of Will. Which brings us to the next point. The love that's started too early is Mum and Dads love. Sometime in the past, in Meridian, Dad fell in love with mum instead of someone else. We're going to try and find the others."

"And I've got to convince the old guardians to believe me. Have fun."
