Chapter 1:

"You're the oldest how could you let them move out!" Chris heard Penny Halliwell let go of her frustration at Piper.

"You know, it really wasn't that hard." He heard Piper say, "'Cause they deserve a shot at a normal life."

"They're not normal Piper!" Penny exclaimed exasperated, "and neither are you. When are you going to learn that?"

"Well I guess never!" Piper shot back equally exasperated with the dead woman.

Penny looked away from her granddaughters rolling her eyes as the two women giggled on the sofa.

"All of this," Penny looked up at the ceiling talking to no one, "over men!"

She turned around, with her temper under control but like a good surrogate parent that she had become for the charmed ones she began to scold them as if they still were little girls.

"How many times have I told you?" Penny began, "Men are utensils, you use them, wash them, and then throw them in a drawer until you need them again."

There was a moment of silence as the three Halliwell women held on to their stubbornness when Chris came in shushing to be quiet with Leo right behind his heels. He went over to the wall and pressed his ear against it listening for the demonic blob, and ignoring the three women.

"I can hear it," he whispered, "I think its in the wall." As he said that the wall cracked and that made him inch away from it.

"Yeah," Leo stated the obvious, "its in the wall."

"Okay we're going to need Paige," Chris began explaining to the people of his past. "It took the power of three to vanquish it in the future."

"What!" Piper cried out annoyed at her neurotic companion that she spent most of her time with now days, "if you knew that why didn't you tell me that in the first place?"

"Because I can barely get two of you together let alone three." Chris explained with a pinch of annoyance at the oldest charmed sister. "Besides this thing is not that big right now and I thought two could handle it."

"Leo, you take point," Penny said boldly, "Chris right here is way too green to guide my girls."

"What?" cried Chris clearly annoyed that things were being pinned on him, "You know what you can just stop that right-"

Penny waved her hand and dismissed him as Chris looked away from them controlling his own temper. With that Chris began listening to the dead woman as she explained where in time Paige had gone to after the girls told her which red go-go boots Paige had put on. He listened to the story he had heard his brother tell him once.

From all of the ancestors Wyatt admired Penny Halliwell the most, because she didn't put aside her wiccan duties like their aunts and mom did. A small smile was seen on his face but he soon put it away. He frowned slightly at Penny's plan about going back to the past through some of her enchanted clothes.

"So we get to go back there?" Phoebe asked enthusiastically, "do we get to meet our grandfather?"

"Don't make too much out of it," Penny warned, "because whatever you do, you can't change the past, or tell anyone you're from the future."

"Well why does he get to?" Phoebe asked slightly irritated as she pointed at Chris.

"Because I know what I'm doing." Chris stated looking at the woman in front of her that resembled his Aunt Phoebe.

The two women on the sofa chuckled in disbelief as Penny said, "not from where I'm standing."

"I'll stay with Leo and the newbie," Penny said already dismissing him again, "and take care of the slime until you bring Paige so you can vanquish it."

"Excuse me," Chris narrowed his eyes at the witch, "the creature without name can't be distracted, people in the future have tried."

"Well that's a very negative way of thinking." Penny looked at him as though it was the first time, also because she wasn't accustomed with people talking back to her.

The rest of the house looked at him in the same manner.

"All I'm saying is that it can't be done." Chris said trying to tone down his temper.

"Are you giving me lip?" Penny asked as she put her hands on her waist giving her a superior feel to her. If it had been anyone else they would have shut up, but the thing was that he was Chris.

"I don't tell you things, you yell at me," Chris said annoyed as paced trying to really control his temper, in a way he was like Penny. Until now since he was in the past he had to take orders and he had to listen to the sisters while in his time it was him giving out the orders and no one really questioned his tactics. "I warn you about things and you don't listen. I can't win!"

"What are you talking about?" Piper asked before Penny could say anything.

He threw his arms up on the air purely madden by them.

"What are you talking about?" Piper asked again.

"It's a bad idea for the sisters to go back to the past." Chris voiced to all of the occupants in the room as they looked at him in awe because he challenging Penny Halliwell's plan.

"Why is that?" Leo asked crossing his arms over his chest.

"What if something happens to them?" Chris asked, "We can't take that chance. Someone else should go and bring Paige back as soon as possible."

"Yes," Phoebe said getting up from the sofa with Piper right behind her. "That's why we're going."

"You're not listening," Chris said facing them, "what if something happened to you?"

"Nothing will happen to us." Phoebe said stubbornly.

"You don't know that." Chris argued, "its better to have you two stay here just incase something happens to Paige. That way the future will at least have the both of you to make the power of two. It might not be as strong but its better than nothing. It's a precaution because believe me Wyatt is going to need all the protection."

"What aren't you telling us?" Leo asked getting up from where he had sat as he fully confronted the young whitelighter.

"There are many things I can't say," Chris said, "Future consequences, as an Elder you should understand that."

"As an Elder yes," Leo frowned, "but as a father I don't."

Chris looked away again loosing his temper was not the best strategy, but after months of looking for the one responsible concerning Wyatt he was starting to loose it. His beloved Bianca's face full of pain and love flashed into his mind, don't go there, he told himself.

The people around him stared and Chris wanted nothing more than to shake them until he heard Penny say.

"He's right."

"What?" both Piper and Phoebe rounded up at her.

"He's right." Penny repeated but she was not looking at her granddaughters but at young whitelighter from the future.

"I guess you do know what you're doing." She said, "even though I don't agree with your methods."

Chris looked at her and nodded in gratitude. Finally someone with a decent head on their shoulders, and for the first time he understood what Wyatt admired about her.

"You will go," she said changing her plan, "bring Paige back and we'll deal with the slob as much as we can until you come back with Paige."

"Right." Chris agreed, if it meant going back further in time to protect Wyatt he didn't care.

The charmed sisters began to protest but this time Penny raised her hand in dismissal at them. "Come on we have a spell to write in order to bring those two back."

"This is not over," Piper warned as she left walking behind her grandmother and Phoebe.
