"Hey, Piper says they're ready for those crystals. Genie Phoebe's getting on her last nerves down there. What are you doing?" I followed Chris to see Leo at the table.
"Writing you an apology. I just, I can't seem to get it right." Leo said.
"Leo, come on, man, you don't need to do that."
"No, I know I don't need to but I want to. It feels good to forgive."
"Yeah, why don't you just hold onto that feeling, okay? We've gotta go help the sisters."
"Alright, well, in a minute. This is just as important. "Dear Chris..."
"Alright, alright, enough already. You said you're sorry, let's just not go overboard."
"Okay, but after everything I've put you through, I feel like I owe it to you."
"Honestly, a letter's not gonna mean a hell of a lot to me. I got plenty of them growing up."
"I'm sorry."
"Uh, from my father. He wasn't around much." Tell me about it.
"That's awful. You wanna talk about it?"
"No. What I want for you is to grab the crystals and go downstairs to where Piper is. Do you remember her?"
"Sure. But right now I'm a little more concerned about you. You seem a little stressed."
"Yeah, you're damn right I'm stressed. I'm concerned about you two. You two need to get back together already. Any chance that's gonna happen?"
"I don't think so. But thanks for caring, man. It means a lot."
"Wait. You still love her, I know you do. How could you just throw that away?"
" It's a little personal don't you think?"
"More than you know. Look, are you telling me that there is no chance that you and Piper are gonna hook up in let's say, I don't know, the next couple of weeks?"
"Actually, yeah, that's what I'm saying. We've both moved on, and nothing short of a miracle can make that happen."
~o~
Leo and Chris walked in, chuckling. I was close behind.
"Here's those crystals you wanted." Leo said and put them on the table.
"You guys sure are chummy." Paige said.
"You have no idea." I said.
"Yeah, I had a change of heart. Decided to let bygones be bygones." Leo said.
"Really?" Piper asked.
"Guys, there's something I have to tell you." Phoebe said.
"Ah, after we talk in the kitchen." Chris said.
"But-"
"Phoebe." Chris held up the bottle and Phoebe disappeared into it. "Now that was cool. If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna have a little one on one with the help." Then I followed him into the kitchen where he let Phoebe out.
"You wanna make them do what?" Phoebe asked.
"We finally got dad in a good mood and mom, she's still sexed up from the fireman. This is the perfect time to hit them with the whammy."
"No, we are not going to make Piper and Leo sleep together, okay? We're gonna do this my way, mister."
"Master."
"Oh, you know what? Listen to me."
"I'm sorry, Phoebe, but I'm running out of time here. A guy's gotta survive. I wish for Piper and Leo to sleep together tonight."
"I'm not-" Then Phoebe put her hands together and blinked. Then we heard a loud thud come from the other room.
"What was that?" I asked. Then we all rushed into the conservatory and saw Piper and Leo fast asleep on the floor. "Oh, no."
"They're sleeping. You tricked me." Chris said.
"No, you made me wish for them to sleep together. And they're sleeping together."
"Should have seen that blowing up in your face." I said and he glared at me. "Sorry, but true with your record."
"This is a mess. I've only got one more wish to sort this thing out, so if you don't mind." He held up the bottle.
"Oh, no, actually I do mind because Jinny could be here at any moment." Phoebe said.
"You know what? I'll summon you when she does. I command you back into the bottle."
"When I get out this..." Then she disappeared into the bottle.
~o~
Chris and I were in the conservatory when Jinny's guards showed up. Chris was thrown across the room by one of the thieves and he dropped the bottle. The thieve pulled out his sword and Paige ran in
"Mind the bottle, Phoebe's inside." Chris said getting up.
(The thieve charged for Chris and they started fighting. Paige went for the bottle and another thieve attacked her. She orbed out and orbed back in behind him.
"Sword!" His sword orbed into Paige's hand and she stabbed him, vanquishing him. Jinny shimmered in and headed for the bottle. Richard walked in and sent her flying across the room. Paige stabbed the other thieve with the sword and vanquished him. "Crystals!" The crystals in the box orbed out. "Circle!" The crystals orbed back in making a circle around Jinny. "Got her."
Jinny tried to walk but the crystals zap her.
"Where's the bottle?" Chris asked.
We turned around to see Richard holding the bottle.
"Richard." Then disappeared with the bottle.
~o~
Piper and Leo are still asleep next to each other on the couch. Chris covered them with a blanket when Paige walked in.
"Think she can scare me. They're still asleep? Have you tried smelling salts?" Paige asked.
"It won't work, trust me." I said.
"What's wrong with them?"
"It's a long story." Chris said.
"I don't know, why don't you give me the cliff notes version. Come on, Chris. You and Leo and Phoebe have all been acting weird since before the demon attacked. What is going on?"
"Alright, I made a little wish."
"You did what?"
"Two little wishes."
"Oh, great. It's not bad enough I have to worry about Richard, now I have to worry about you too. What did you wish for?"
"For Leo to forgive me, which by the way was an accident."
"And?"
"For Piper and Leo to sleep together."
"You! Oh my god, you are sick! What is wrong with you? You're disgusting!"
"No-"
"You are some creepy registered sex offender from the future."
"No, no, no-" I tried but she ignored me too.
"Oh my god, you are so gross."
"I'm Piper and Leo's son." Chris said and she finally stopped.
"What?"
"They're our parents. We came back to save our family."
"You're serious."
"Yeah. Only now I've gotta save myself. Because if my mom doesn't get pregnant in the next month, there is no me."
"This is all so wrong. And this has been such a long day."
"Look, I'm gonna orb over to Richard's, okay, and grab the bottle."
"No, you can't. He's, uh, he's crazy right now, he might hurt you, okay? I need to strip him of his powers. It's a whole thing."
"Well, how's that gonna help?"
"Well, he's been corrupted by magic and if I don't strip him of his powers, I might not be able to save him. Who else knows about this?"
"About us? Just Phoebe." I said.
"Alright, you watch Jinny, I'm gonna go make this potion, okay?"
"Okay."
~o~
When Greg came over I went to check on Jinny, who was out of the crystal cage.
"Crap."
"Got that right little girl."
"Hey I'm almost thirteen!"
"And I'm hundreds of years old." The she created a fire ball. When she threw it at me I only had enough time to close my eyes. When I didn't feel anything I saw I was levatating.
"Awsome! I've got an active power!" Then I fell flat on my butt. "Needs some work." Jinny walked over and grabbed me by the arm and pulled me up. She walked into the living room where mom and dad were alseep and created another fireball. Chris than came in and saw us.
"Take me to the bottle." Jinny told him. He looked at me, then mom and dad. He didn't have a choice.
~o~
Chris and I orbed into Richards with Jinny.
"What are you doing here?" Phoebe asked. I noticed Phoebe wasn't a genie anymore.
Jinny threw a fireball at them and they ducked. Chris attacked Jinny and she grabbed his arm and threw him across the room. Jinny then picked up the bottle.
"Genie, I wish the Charmed Ones dead." Jinny said. Richard put his hands together and nodded his head. The girls fall to the floor.
"No!" Chris and I yelled and ran to the girls.
"Now, into the bottle." I looked over at Jinny with tears in my eyes. "My condolences." Then she disappeared.
"No. You can't be dead yet. It's not your time. I know it's not your time." Phoebe and Paige's spirits floated out of their body. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. She was gonna kill mum and dad."
"Hey, Chris, we're not moving on." Phoebe said.
"Why aren't we moving on?" Paige said.
"Who cares? You're still here." Chris said.
"Got any unfinished business?"
"No. You?"
"Yeah, now that you mention it, it would have been nice to find out I had another nephew and a niece before I died."
"I was gonna tell you but I just didn't get a chance."
"Guys we can fix this. We can reverse the magic. All we need to do is get the bottle." Chris said.
"That's true, we're ghosts, we can possess Jinny. Where is Jinny?"
"Well, she was planning to conjure the lost city." I said.
"Don't worry, we're gonna take care of this. Should we go check on Piper first?" Phoebe asked.
"No, no, no. Piper's fine. I mean, she has to be, right? If she was dead, we would have vanished." Chris said.
"How do we reach Jinny?" Paige asked.
"You're ghosts, you can haunt anybody you want. You should concentrate and it should wisp you right to her." Phoebe and Paige closed their eyes and they vanished. "Wait for us!" Then he grabbed my hand and orbed us out.
~o~
"I wouldn't unpack just now if I were you."
Jinny turned around to see us all standing there.
"Why haven't you moved on? You're dead." Jinny said.
"So are you." Phoebe said and jumped into Jinny's body. One of the thieves ran towards me and Chris and Chris threw him across the room. The other two thieves pull out their swords and runs towards us.
"Watch out." Paige said. I jumped into the air to dodge one of them.
"Phoebe, a little help here." Chris looked up at me. "Since when can you do that?"
"I don't really know." I said.
Phoebe/Jinny threw a fireball at both the thieves, vanquishing them. Then I fell out of the air and Chris caught me.
"Thanks." Then he put me down.
"I think I've got control of the body."
Chris grabbed a sword and stabbed the last thief, vanquishing him.
" Okay, all clear."
Phoebe/Jinny picked up the bottle.
"Richard, I wish you free."
Phoebe exited Jinny's body and Jinny was sucked into the bottle and Richard appeared in her place.
"Hi, honey." Paige said.
"Let me out of here!" I heard Jinny say.
"I wish the Charmed Ones alive again." Richard said and then Phoebe and Paige vanished.
"Yes, master."
" You okay?" Chris asked Richard.
"Take this, get it out of my site." He said giving Chris the bottle.
"Sure. Could you get rid of that thing first?" Chris said motioning towards the city.
"Yeah. No problem."
~o~
When we got back home we were waiting for mom and dad to wake up.
"They're not waking up. How come they're not waking up?" Chris asked.
"Would you relax?" Phoebe said.
"Relax? I'm sorry, did you say relax? Because I'm about to disappear, vanish forever, cease to exist."
"Oh my god, you're so dramatic." Then Piper and Leo woke up. "Hey, are you okay?"
"I think so. Wh-wh-what are you doing?" Piper said.
"Uh, I don't know, I swear." Leo said standing up. "What's going on?"
"Arabic sleeping potion. Very strong, not good." Phoebe said.
"You mean Jinny did this?" Piper asked.
"Who else?"
"Well, we've gotta stop her."
"We already did while you were sleeping. She's back in the bottle."
"Which we were sort of hoping you could take care of for us." Chris said giving the bottle to Leo.
"So that's it? It's all over?" Leo asked.
"Pretty much. I mean, you still forgive me, right?"
"Of course."
"Good."
"I still wanna know why we all didn't die. What? I'm curious." Phoebe said.
"Me too." I said.
"Oh, sure, you don't mind them knowing that they almost died but not that... Never mind." Chris said.
"What are you talking about?" Piper asked.
"Jinny made a wish for the Charmed Ones to die and we almost did, but then we turned into ghosts and..." Phoebe explained.
"Huh. So that wasn't a dream I had. I was floating over my body looking down at me and then, uh, you healed me."
"I did?" Leo asked,
"Yeah. I called to you when you were sleeping and somehow you must have heard me and you wouldn't let me go."
"Well, then that must be the reason why Phoebe and Paige's spirits didn't move on. See the wish was for all the Charmed Ones to die, so saving you must have saved them." Chris said.
"That was really sweet of you." Piper said.
"Any time. So you wanna go with me to get Wyatt?" Leo asked.
"Sure." Then they orbed out.
"Wait, wh... What about me?" Chris asked.
"I wouldn't give up. There may be hope for you yet." Phoebe said.
"Hey Phoebe, could you help me with my new power?" I asked.
"Sure, but right now let's get some sleep."
"Ok." I said and then Chris and I got ready for bed.
