"Thanks a lot." Melinda grumbled.

"For what?"

"For What?! You scared him off! We had him, he was even starting to believe us! Then you get scared about telling him anything when he was starting to open up."

"Sorry but hearing that he doesn't like Uncle Leo and knowing how close our Chris is to him I was afraid if he knew he'd get mad and I don't know do something to keep them from getting close."

Melinda rolled her eyes, "Maybe if you had kept quiet we could have found out why he hates dad. Maybe learning their close in our time will help him learn to trust dad here and now. He already had trust issues with you apparently."

"Sorry but hearing Aunt Paige say that he never tells them anything made me think maybe we shouldn't tell him anything."

"Ladybug, we know a lot of the same things he knows. We're all from the future. It might be a risk with our future being different but I don't want anything to happen to him. I don't remember the story but I do know that mom and especially dad get depressed around Chris' birthday. They try to hide it but I've seen it."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"I think it means that Chris dies here saving Wyatt."

"Now that you mention it when the subject of Chris' 23rd birthday comes up they don't seem happy. Maybe you're right."

"Even if we find a spell to get us home, I'm not going. The spell brought us here for a reason. Magic works in mysterious ways. Maybe that reason was to help Chris save Wyatt and to save Chris."

"But you risk our future."

"I don't care. Chris gave his life to give us our future. I'm going to try to talk to him tomorrow and try to get him to open up."

"Are you sure he'll talk to us?"

"Us? No, me maybe, hopefully. Something about you in his future makes him not want to trust you. I just need you to beam me outside the office. In the meantime you can keep an eye on your mom and her boyfriend."

P.J. sighed, "Fine but be careful. We don't want our future to disappear."

x-x-x-x-x

The next day P.J. sensing Chris in his room, remote beamed Melinda outside Chris' room at P3. Melinda was scared he'd refuse to see her. She took a deep breath and knocked.

Chris was surprised to see her when he opened the door. "What are you still doing here?"

"I came to talk. I know you think we're from your future but we're not. Please just talk to me. We can do a spell on each other if you want. You do the truth spell on me and I'll cast a spell to show you any memory of mine you want. There has to be something, anything that Wyatt no matter what wouldn't tell anyone or something you know he doesn't. Something, anything. Maybe just maybe whatever that is I know it. That would prove to you I'm not from your future."

Chris thought about it and knew she was right. There were a few things even Wyatt kept from his demons. Things Wyatt would never tell not even to win him back, things he knew Wyatt didn't. "Fine, Let's try this. P.J.'s not here?" Chris asked, letting her in.

"No, I didn't think you would agree to talk to me with her here. Plus she let Aunt Paige in her head about keeping our world secret from you. It's not going to work. For you to learn to trust me we have to share and compare our worlds. She beamed me here."

Chris had to admit if P.J. had come he wouldn't have let them in the room. But something about this girl got to him. He didn't know what it was. " For those who want the truth revealed, opened hearts and secrets unsealed, from now until the hour ends, after which the spell ends. Those who are in this room, will hear the truth from other's mouths."

"Okay let's see, I'm not the best spell maker in the family but I'm better than Wyatt at least. Um something to rhyme with memories to share mine."

"Ours."

Melinda looked at him surprised.

"If we're going to do this right, open the memories both ways."

Melinda smiled and nodded, " Heart to heart, Mind to mind. From now until the hour ends, after which the spell ends. Those who are in this room, will freely share each others memories."

"Okay if Wyatt didn't send you, how did you get here?"

"I told that story twice. A demon tricked us into a cave and P.J. couldn't beam us out."

"I don't understand. You said you're my little sister. Why can't you orb?"

Melinda was thrilled he was actually acknowledging her as his sister. "Um well I don't really remember if I was ever told how or why, but sometime after your born dad fell from grace and became mortal. So unlike you and Wyatt I'm not part whitelighter, I'm just a witch."

"What? Leo's mortal? Why would he fall from grace?"

"I wish I knew the answer. I'm guessing you and dad weren't close?"

"He was never there for me. He was there for everyone else. The entire world came before me. If I called him he'd never come. If Mom called he'd come when he could but if Wyatt called or your call concerned Wyatt he'd literally and figuratively drop everything and orb in. The only people Leo cares about are mom, Wyatt and the rest of the world. I fall well below everything and everyone else in the world. He was only ever there for Wyatt. If it had to do with Wyatt whether it was his birthday or something else, Leo was there. Me, I'd get an apology letter."

"Are you saying he was still a whitelighter in your time?"

"He was an Elder actually."

"An Elder? I didn't know dad was an Elder. Wait, Aunt Paige said dad was mom's ex, did you have something to do with that?

"Yeah I had to make Leo an Elder earlier than before when I changed things so that the Titan's were defeated sooner, to make room for me as the Charmed Ones whitelighter. I didn't intend to break up their marriage as now I might have jeopardized my own conception."

"You what?"

"There's still time. Despite your telling them you're my sister for some reason they don't seem to be so bright in this time, they probably still haven't figured out I'm only part whitelighter. What's your power?"

"I have the power to freeze, similar to mom's only. They actually look like they're encased in ice but the ice isn't cold."

"Sounds like a cool power."

"One that might be useful in a battle right?"

"I guess so, why?"

"You or my Chris and Wyatt are always going demon hunting without me. They think I'm useless."

"Maybe they're just trying to protect you. Seeing as you can't orb they'd fear you getting hurt. Haven't you ever asked?"

"Yeah but it's always, 'We managed fine, it didn't need The Power of Three'."

Chris' eyes went wide, "The Power of Three?"

Melinda suddenly got excited thinking she could finally wipe away any doubts he had. She thought back to one of the last vanquishes she went on with Wyatt and Chris that required The Power of Three. She took Chris' hand and concentrated, suddenly Chris could see Melinda's memory.
