P.J. looked around the attic. With nothing to do but wait for the others to return she decided to go through a box she spotted in the corner of the attic. At first it was just a bunch of old clothes, nothing special. Then she found an old letterman jacket.

'Oh my gosh this looks just like Billy's. I think Mom said she met him once but surely this isn't his jacket.' she thought. Just then she heard the sound of orbing and looked up excited and anxious to know how it went. When she saw them she asked, "Well how did it go?"

Melinda dropped on to the couch, "Terrible, it didn't work. Why didn't it work?"

"I...I don't know. It should have." P.J. said shocked it didn't work. "It's always worked before."

"Well not only did it not work it nearly took Chris for a second time." Mel huffed, a disgruntled frown firmly in place.

"It wasn't aiming for Chris." Wyatt said.

"What do you mean?" P.J. questioned.

"It was aiming for me. But Chris pushed me out of the way." Wyatt said with a furrowed brow as he looked at the man in question.

"In case you forgot I'm here to save you. Well baby you. But I don't want to lose you either." Chris said, looking away.

Wyatt smiled, 'Maybe once this slimy thing is dealt with we can try to reconnect our bond again.'

They looked up hearing a noise and saw Piper and Phoebe, followed by Leo and Penny. They had stopped to drop off Wyatt at his nursery before heading to the attic.

P.J.'s eyes got wide, 'That's it, that's why it didn't work! Mom and Aunt Piper are here so they are the current power of three!'

Piper, seeing them, asked, "Did you find a way to destroy the slimy blob?"

Before the others could comment P.J. said, "We have a potion that they just tried, it didn't work. But I just realized I forgot an ingredient that hopefully this time it will work." The siblings looked at her like she'd grown another head.

"And if it doesn't?" Phoebe asked.

"If it doesn't you might have to try the power of three and hope that works." P.J. said, hugging the jacket, knowing that her mother and aunts will have to destroy it if her new plan fails.

Phoebe's eyes went wide, "Ladybug where did you find that?"

Without realizing her mother used her nickname as she was so used to it said, "Oh, I found it in one of those boxes. It looks just like Billy's."

"Billy?" Phoebe asked, wondering if she could really be referring to her Billy.

"Yeah you know from that old movie Kill It Before It Dies." P.J. said.

"Oh my god, I wouldn't have thought someone your age would be interested in an old movie like that."

"Yeah, it's my mom's all time favorite movie. We watch it together quite often." P.J. said. Her sisters didn't like the older movies, but P.J. and her mother loved them and watched them all the time.

Penny cleared her throat, "Phoebe, why did you call her Ladybug?"

Chris and the others were surprised as they hadn't even realized she had. Piper and Leo had also been curious as to why she did.

"I...I don't know. I just did. It felt right. I'm sorry." Phoebe said, confused but also strangely content with the nickname.

P.J. smiled and said, "No, it's fine. My family and some of my close friends call me that. It's a nickname my mother gave me." P.J. said only telling a partial lie; only some family call her that, but most of her friends generally call her Prue.

Chris sighed, rubbing a hand over his face, worried that this would tip off the sisters about the various concealed identities in the room.

P.J. was ahead of him though. Since she couldn't risk exposing them, seeing as that's the way Chris wants it, she had to say friends called her that so in case they heard Melinda or Wyatt call her Ladybug she wouldn't have to explain why.

"That's weird." Piper said, "Let's just grab something and go."

"Where are you going?" P.J. asked.

"We're going to go get Paige back and hope we don't damage the timeline." Piper said as she found some earrings in the box and handed a ring she figured Phoebe would like to her. "Okay, ready." At Phoebe's nod they put their stuff on and vanished.

"Well I guess all we can do is wait." Penny said. Then turned around and said, "Leo these kids obviously don't know what they're doing. You should take point."

This didn't sit well with any of her future great grandkids. "We know more than you do about this." P.J. said, upset that her great grandmother didn't want to believe in them.

Just then baby Wyatt orbed into the attic next to his adult self, surprising everyone. Just then the slime blob that had by now invaded the whole house sensing more magic, reached out to grab him only to be saved by his adult self who tried to orb out. When he came back down next to Chris he said, "I think it's taken over the house we can't get out."

"Let's try reasoning with it. You know make love not war." Penny said.

Everyone was shocked to see she had become a hippie. "I think someone messed up the timeline." Chris sighed. Trying to keep track of different timelines in their current timeline was hard enough without worrying about what people in this timeline were doing in a past timeline. It was at moments like these that he could sympathize with Phoebe's reluctance to learn about time travel.

"Maybe if orbing is out we can still walk out?" Melinda asked optimistically.

"Great idea. Leo, take baby Wyatt and hippie queen and try to get out." Chris said, tone indicating how done he was with this situation.

"What are you guys going to do?" Leo asked, concerned about leaving everyone alone.

"We're going to try to destroy the thing again." Wyatt said confidently.

After Penny and Leo left, though, Wyatt turned to P.J. and asked, "How exactly are we going to do that?"

"Simple. Mom and the others are gone, so currently there is no power of three. Except for you three. That's one of only two reasons I can think of that it didn't work."

Melinda sighed, "Let me guess, the fact that me and Chris haven't even been conceived yet is the other?"

"Details. Just touch the book together." P.J. said, shooing the three towards the book in question.

"Won't that affect mom and the others?" Wyatt asked.

"Doubt it, but if it does all they'd have to do is come back and have the three of them touch it. Hell, I'll tell them to do it when they get back saying that being away and in the past has affected their status." P.J. answered smoothly. Wyatt raised an eyebrow, only slightly worried at how proficiently P.J. was coming up with these solutions.

"I don't think Leo will believe that." Chris said skeptically. "Especially coming from you."

"What's that supposed to mean?" P.J. asked indignantly.

"You're part cupid, remember. There's no way Leo would believe you know anything about how the Charmed Ones or time travel work. Wyatt would be more believable since they think he's a whitelighter. Hell Leo probably believes that the elders in the future sent him here. After all, he's supposed to be a full whitelighter and they can't cast spells."

"Fine, when they get back I'll help Wy by having him tell them that this was an issue in his time in the history books. Hopefully they'll believe us."

"Will it really revert back to them though?" Melinda asked worriedly.

"Should, since as you pointed out you and Chris haven't been conceived yet."

"If it doesn't?" Wyatt asked.

"Then we're in trouble. Do you want to risk it or wait and see if Mom and the others make it back before this slime blob consumes us?" P.J. asked irritably. "If anyone else has a better plan I'm all ears."

Chris and Wyatt shared a look with Melinda, all three shrugging in acceptance. The siblings didn't like it but at the same time knew she was right. The slime blob was gaining speed and there was no way of knowing how long the Charmed Ones would be gone. So reluctantly the three went over to the book and they felt the power surge.

P.J. was ecstatic. "Great! Go get it!"

They held hands and orbed to the basement.
