Charmed!

Chapter 50: Past!

     Piper and Leo beamed to the past. They saw Patty and Victor on the bed having sex. Party gasped. "Demons!" Piper exclaimed. Patty sat up and tries to freeze them but only Leo froze. Patty cluthed her blanket. "Why didn't she freeze?" Victor asked. "I don't know." Patty replied. "Probably because I'm your daughter." Piper stated. Piper covers her eyes and looked away as Patty and Victor looked at her surprised.
     All four of them walked down the stairs. must be a pretty powerful witch, you know, to be able to come here from the furure." Patty stated. "Oh no. It didn't really have anything to do with me. It's Coop's ring." Piper stated. "Who's Coop? A future son?" Victor asked and Patty laughed. "No dad, sorry, all girls." Piper stated. "Oh, you mean, it's just you and Prue, huh?" Patty asked. "Maybe we shouldn't tell them too much because we don't want to change the future." Leo suggested. "We have to tell them something, how else will we figure out why we were sent here? Coop will fix it." Piper stated. Piper saw them holding hands and she laughed. "What?" Patty asked as she let out a small laugh. "I'm just not used to seeing you hold hands, let alone, nevermind." Piper stated and she stepped on something and it squeaked. "Oh." Piper stated as she picked up a stuffed rabbit. "I remember this." Piper added. "How old am I, in this world?" Piper asked. "Almost 3." Victor replied. "Which means Prue would be 5, and Phoebe...." Piper started. "Phoebe? Who's Phoebe?" Patty asked. "Isn't born yet." Piper stated as she sat the rabbit on the table. "How did we come to before she's bor" Piper asked Leo. "I don't know." Leo replied and Piper sighed. Patty put her hand on her stomach. "Wait, I'm still a little new to this witch thing, what's going on?" Victor asked. "Well, I came back to save Prue, Phoebe. and Paige." Piper stated. "We have another daughter?" Patty asked. Piper looked at Victor and then Patty. "Yes mom, you do." Piper replied. "But the point is that they died in a huge battle and we came back to warn them." Leo stated. "But without the power of four, we had to use this." Piper stated as she pointed to the ring. "Power of Four?" Patty asked. "Well, it was the power of three, but we made it the power of four. It's a long story " Piper replied and Patty nodded. "So, you're the Charmed Ones and you all came from me?" Patty asked and Piper nodded. "Yeah, so?" Piper asked. "If I'm the mother of the Charmed Ones, and we could find the grandmother, then maybe we could recreate it, the old power of three." Patty explained. "I'm not sure what you're saying." Piper stated. "I'm saying we could use our family magic to get you where you need to go, instead of that silly old ring" Patty explained. Piper and Leo looked at each other and back at Patty and Victor. "Could that take us to your grams?" Patty asked. "Yeah." Piper replied. "Great!" Patty exclaimed. She got in between of Piper and Leo and held their hands. "Um, I'll be back." Patty stated and gave Victor a kiss on the lips and back in her position. "Grams." Piper stated as she held her hand at her heart and they beamed out.
    They beamed at the exact same spot they were in the manner as they were before, only Victor wasn't there. "Where's Victor?" Patty asked. Piper saw the stuffed rabbit on the table. "Now where are we?" Piper asked. "Triple word score!" They heard a female scream from the other room. "Hold it, that's not spelled right." They heard a male voice say from the other room. They walked into the conservatory and saw an old couple playing word scramble. "Sure, it is." The old women insisted. "No, it's not." The old man insisted. "No? Is that an official challenge?" The old women asked. "Uh, excuse me?" Piper asked and they turned around snd saw them. "How do you spell Zancou? With a Z or X?" The old man asked. "That's cheating!" The old women exclaimed. "I'm not asking you, I'm asking.... Me." The old man stated pointing to Leo. Leo's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "Well?" The old man asked. "Z." Leo replied. "Ha! Told you!" The old man exclaimed and the old women groaned and removed her pieces. "Uh, are you...." Piper started. "The future you and Leo, that's right and we've been expecting you." Leo replied. "Yeah, I backed cookies." Old Piper added showing them the plate of cookies.
     Piper, Leo, and Patty were on the couch and Old Piper was on the chair. "I just don't understand." Piper stated. "You asked for your grams but you weren't specific enough. So, you came to the future where you're the grams, and here I am." Old Piper explained. "Wait a minute. I'm a grandmother?" Piper asked. "Blows your mind, doesn't it? Mom." Old Piper stated and waved at Patty and Patty waved back. Old Leo enters with a plate and a glass of water. "I still don't understand. How do yoy know this stuff and how did you know we would come?" Leo asked. "Because 50 years ago we were sitting there, where you're sitting, talking to our future selves." Old Leo replied. "Now, are you sure you don't want any cookies?" Old Piper asked. "Uh, no thanks. I'd rather have asprin." Piper replied and Old Leo showed Piper the plate with four asprin's on it. "I told you we were expecting you." Old Leo stated. Piper took the asprin and drank the water and handed it back. "Remember when we were them? Fighting demons and kicking butt?" Old Leo asked. "Loosing you, getting you back, loosing you again, aye." Old Piper agreed. "And it was all worth it." Leo stated. "You bet." Piper agreed. "Awe! That's so sweet!" Patty exclaimed. "Yeah, well.... I'm still not sure about all of this. Besides, we really need get back to...." Piper started. "Save Prue, Phoebe, and Paige." Piper and Old Piper stated in unison. "And the only way to do that is...." Old Piper started. "Don't say too much, hon. We don't want to mess up the future." Old Leo cut Old Piper off. "Isn't the future already messed up?" Piper asked. "Not yet, It's not. The future is worth saving, believe me." Old Leo stated. "Keep using the ring. Instead, focus on who you want to go to with your heart, not your head." Old Piper added. "That way you'll get to your grams, and then to Prue, Phoebe, and Paige." Old Leo stated. "But what do we do when we get there? How do we save them?" Patty asked. "You get rid of the hollow, together." Old Piper responded.
      The ring glowed and they appeared in the same room in the past. "Are we back in my time?" Patty asked. "Do you want another tissue?" Grams asked from another room. "No, I'm okay." Little Piper replied from the other room. They walked in the living room and rid around the corner. "Well, you're more then okay. You're very, very special and you need to know that." Grams stated. "Not as special as Prue or even Phoebe, everyone loves Phoebe." Little Piper stated. "But you're special in your own way, Piper. I mean, you're kind and caring. You're the best little helper I've got. Plus, you're the only one who can keep your sisters from killing each other half of the time. And you may not know it yet, but you've got gifts. The most amazing gifts and someday those gifts will make you even more special." Grams explained. "How?" Little Piper asked. "You'll see. Now run upstairs and play with your sisters while I make dinner." Grams stated and Little Piper did. Patty brushes Piper's hair. "You always did love your Grams." Patty stated and Piper smiled. "Who's there?" Grams asked as she stood up. "It's okay mom, it's just me." Patty reassured. "No, mom." Piper stated. "Patty?" Grams asked and Patty nodded. Then Grams faint. "Oh my gosh! Why'd she faint?" Patty asked as she went over to her. "Probably because you're dead." Piper replied and Patty looked at her shocked.
       Billie and Dumain were in magic school. "All you need to do is focus on saving your sister, which means focusing on the battle. Now lets try again. Clear your mind of everything that has happened since. Clear your mind of the pain of loss, because where you're going that hasn't happened yet. Think only of Christy. See her back at your side. Because you want that more then anything, and that's what's going to happen. That's it, you're almost there. Now project yourself back to the Triad." Dumain explained and Billie opened her eyes. "The Triad?" Billie asked as she stood up. "What the hell? Are you trying to trick me?" Billie asked angrily. "Of course not!" Dumain exclaimed. "Then what? You said I was going back to see me sister!" Billie exclaimed. "You're right, I should have told you." Dumain stated. "Tell me what? What's going on?" Billie asked. "If you don't go back to warn the Triad, then they'll still be killed and so will your sister." Dumain explained. "The Triad were alive?" Billie asked and Dumain rolled his eyes. "More or less." Dumain replied. "So you've been lying and manipulating me and Christy this whole time?" Billie asked. "Christy understands exactly what's going on." Dumain responded. "And what is that?" Billie asked. "Why don't you go back and ask yourself. Then you'll understand too." Dumain suggested.
     Patty was tending to Grams on the couch and Leo was watching. "How is she?" Piper asked as she walked in with a glass of water. "I think she's coming to." Leo replied. "No, I meant mom." Piper stated. "I think she's fine, it's a lot of information to handle." Leo replied and Piper nodded. "Welcome to the club. What's wrong?" Piper asked. "Nothing, I was just thinking about after you say the spell to get rid of the hollow." Leo replied. "Well, hopefully it works." Piper stated. "And if it does then your sisters will be alive, and so will Christy." Leo stated. "Not for long." Piper stated. "But until then it means the Ultimate Battle hasn't been fought and the Angel of Destiny might take me away again." Leo stated. "Look.... All I know is that in the future, we will be playing scrabble, and in pretty sure you'll be loosing." Piper stated.
     Penny woke up with a start. "What happened? Where am I?" Penny asked. "You're okay mom, you just fainted." Patty replied. "Of course I fainted, you're dead!" Penny exclaimed. "Oh, yeah. I know. They just told me." Patty stated and then Piper and Leo walked over. "Hi." Piper greeted. "And who are you?" Penny asked. "I'm Piper, from the future. Then this is my lovely husband Leo, from the future as well." Piper replied. "And I'm from the past, obviously." Patty stated. "I need a drink." Penny stated as she stood up. "Mom." Patty stated. "Grams, I know this is complicated and confusing but something really bad has happened in the future and we need your help." Piper stated. "We need to save her sisters, the Charmed Ones." Patty stated. "The Charmed Ones?" Penny asked and Patty nodded. "You become the Charmed Ones?" Penny asked again and Piper nodded. "What do we have to do?" Penny asked as she stood up fast.
     Billie sat in Magic School in a circle of candles. "Christy.... Christy.... Christy.... Christy...." Billie repeated and then she appeared at the manner in the past. She stood up and saw Past Billie and Christy walking. "Woah, wait." Billie stated. "Who are you?" Past Billie asked. "I came from the future to warn you, me, not to do this. I'm serious, this isn't going to work, you're going to get yourself killed." Billie explained. Past Billie blast future Billie.
The Past Charmed Ones and Ultimate Power were standing in the same position as before. "We've been waiting for you." Past Billie stated. "Well, the wait is over." Paige stated. "No potions, huh?" Past Piper asked. "We don't need any potions." Christy stated. "Funny, neither do we." Phoebe stated. "I knew we shouldn't have trusted you." Past Piper stated. "You should have followed your instincts." Christy stated. "Next time." Past Piper stated. "There won't be a next time." Past Billie stated and Past Piper glared at her.
      Piper, Leo, Patty, and Penny appeared in the dinner room. The Charmed Ones throws electricity and the Ultimate Power throws fire. Piper open the piece of paper and they chant the spell. Thehhollow leaves and Billie walks down the stairs. Everyone spots the others. "What the?" Past Piper asked. "Don't, you'll get a headache." Piper warned. Past Billie gets sucked into future Billie and Past Piper gets sucked into future Piper. "Now, there's something you don't see everyday." Penny stated. "What's going on?" Paige asked. "Looks like time caught up with itself." Leo replied. "How did you all get here?" Phoebe asked. "You have Coop to thank for that." Piper responded. "What happened? What went wrong?" Christy asked Billie. "Not here." Billie stated. Billie threw a potion and they disappeared. "Damn!" Piper exclaimed. "It's okay, we'll get them. At least Prue, Phoebe, and Paige are alive." Leo reassured. A ball of light appears and comes down and the Angel of Destiny appears. "I'm sorry, but I have no choice." The Angel of Destiny apologized. "Wait, but I...." Piper started but the Angel of Destiny disappeared with Leo and Piper had tears in her eyes, it's not over.
