Disclaimer: I do not owe Charmed. But I do own Chris- in my dreams. :P Most of the scenes in this chapter were taken out of the spoiler transcript of It's a Bad, Bad, Bad World part 1.
Title: THE FUTURE HASN'T CHANGED.
Chapter 1: Saying goodbye.
Chris is drawing a triquetra on the wall with chalk, in the Great Hall of Magic School. His dad is standing by, holding a potion vial and looking at his son.
Chris:" I wonder how different everything's going to be. Will all of my memories change once I go back? Will I remember coming back?
Leo: "What I'm worried about is that you're still here. I mean, if you've changed the future, wouldn't you automatically disappear because you wouldn't have had any reason to come back to the past in the first place? But then, that would mean that we'd forget about you too and nothing that's happened in the past couple of months would be the same either... You know what, I used to think I understood time travel but now I'm not so sure..."
Chris: "Tell me about it."
He finishes drawing the triquetra and turned around.
Chris: "You shouldn't come with me. What if something goes wrong?"
Leo: "That's exactly why I should be going with you. Besides, if something does go wrong, then we have this vial. It'll take us back here automatically. I hope so anyway."
Chris: "What if mom goes into labor while we're gone?"
Leo: "I won't be gone for long; I'm just making sure you're safe and going back."
Chris sighs. Then he looks back on the wall longingly.
Chris: "This is scary. Well, are you ready? Let's go, it's my birthday today remember? We've put this off for far too long. I should've gone back the day after we defeated the Games masters."
Leo: "It's not your fault we couldn't find the spell fast enough. And besides I wasn't going to let you go back without making sure we have a backup plan. Well, let me get your aunts and your mother, they'd kill me if you left without saying goodbye."
Chris sinks into a chair dejectedly as Leo orbs out to get Phoebe and Paige. Meanwhile, his mom wobbles into the hall.
Piper: "Chris! Hi!"
She stops as she sees the drawing on the wall.
Piper: "So, you're leaving already?"
Chris, sorrowfully: "Wish I didn't have to... But I did what I came here to do; now I have to go back to my own time. I've cheated fate enough already, don't you think? Besides, two Chris' can't coexist in one world. You should know that, mom..."
Piper: "Alright, alright already." She smirks.
Leo orbs in with Phoebe, followed by Paige.
Paige: "Well, let's get this party started."
Piper: "Ouch!"
Leo: "What, what? Is it the baby? Are you having contractions?"
Piper: "Leo, relax! It was just a kick."
Leo, sheepishly: "Sorry, being a bit edgy- knowing the baby's due tonight and all..."
Phoebe: "We're gonna miss ya, stranger." She says as she moves in to give her nephew a hug.
Chris, hugging her back: "Phoebe, you're choking me here."
Phoebe, smiling: "Right, oops." She says, letting go reluctantly and looking up at him proudly.
Paige: "Well, shoo, let me have my turn with my nephew, you greedy aunt!" she moves in herself to give Chris a great big hug and a wet kiss on the cheek.
Chris: "Ewww, Paige." He says, smiling nevertheless as he wipes his cheek with the back of his hand.
Piper, looking on as her eyes fill with tears: "Well, get out of the way, pregnant mom coming through!" she looks at Chris intently, as if trying to memorize all of his features. Then, gently touching his face, adds: "Thank you for coming back to save your brother. I'm so proud of you... I love you."
Chris: "I love you too, mom." They hold on to each other for several minutes as if never wanting to let go until Phoebe and Paige crack and move in for a group hug.
Piper finally lets her son go, wiping her tears away. Chris discreetly takes the chance to wipe his own tears as he embraces his aunts again.
Chris, looking at Leo: "Ready, dad?"
Leo, getting up and sighing: "Ready as I'll ever be, son."
Paige: "Dad, son... you two have certainly come a long way."
Chris and Leo blush as they stare at anything but the sisters and each other.
Piper, smiling: "Paige, you're embarrassing them."
The three sisters link their hands together and recite the spell. Leo and Chris finally face the triquetra and it glows. Chris looks at his mother and aunts last time before Leo takes his son's hand and they walk through the portal.

A/N: Well, that was chapter one. What do ya'll think? Should I keep going? This is the only fan fiction I'm writing with a plan so it should be much better than my other confusing fics. Just a reminder- I took out most of the above scene from the spoilers for "It's a Bad, Bad, Bad World Part 1", so don't flame me. The rest of the chapters I'll write completely on my own though. Thanks for reading, and if you have the time, please review!
