Author Notes: I had to take a little break from this story for a while as you saw it took me a while to post chapter 3.  Now I�m back with some good ideas for this story and how to end it.  I�m not sure if this will be the last chapter or not it depends on what my mind can come up with. This is mainly a Phoebe story, but has a few non-phoebe moments.  I�m going to try and make the next chapter PG-13.

Summary: Piper and Phoebe are sent back home, but Phoebe has no memory of who she is.

Rate: PG

Phoebe opened her eyes to see a gray light around her and then she standing on the ground.  She had no memory of who she was or where she was for that matter.  She started to walked down the road of what seemed like a country road, where was she.  A man came up to her and he smiled kindly at her he also noticed her startled look.


�Miss are you ok,� he asked.

�Do you know me,� Phoebe asked scared.

�Are you Ok,� he asked again.

�No�I don�t know who I am or where I am,� Phoebe asked tears falling from her face.

�Why don�t you come with me,� he said extending his hand.

�Who are you,� Phoebe said as she took it.

�I am called Michael O�Sullivan,� Michael said.


Piper was standing in front of Sara who had begun to get used to the idea of Piper being a witch.  Sara was getting the dished why Piper finished with another meal she had cooked.  This was yet another reason she knew Piper was different the other Piper couldn�t cook this well.  They had spent a whole evening one night just talking about the future and Piper told her every thing about her life about her sisters, Leo, and Cole. 


�Piper when you get back�will you look me up so I can see the real you,� Sara asked.

�If I get back,� Piper said.

�You will�and bring your sisters and Leo,� Sara said.

�I will�I will,� Piper said then a gray light came in.

�Piper do you see that,� Sara said.

�I�m going home,� Piper said.

�Remember your promise,� Sara said.

�I will,� Piper said.

Then the light went around Piper body and sucked her in.  She saw that she was in some sort of timeline that was in a funnel shape.  She was different times and different peoples life, then she came to the years she was born.  She saw her life again, from her first day in the world, her first word, first step, her mom�s funeral, first day at school, high school, meeting Jeremy, becoming a witch, meeting Leo, losing Leo, meeting Dan, losing Dan, and then the day she left.  Then she realized that their time had only been a few days but her had been a few weeks.  She then was thrown into that time and gray light disappeared. 


�Piper,� Leo said.

�Leo,� Piper said with joy.


She got her self up and ran over to him forgetting that everyone else was in the room.  She hugged him and she kissed him.  Prue and Bane only smiled at this and Cole gave a short laugh and they knew that Phoebe would be home soon, but they were wrong.  Leo broke the kiss and rested his forehead on hers and just held her for a moment before he said anything.


�We read your letter,� Cole said. 

�You did,� Piper said.

�Yes�I never knew it was you,� Leo said.

�I have to go�I have to find Sara,� Piper said.

�Sara�Piper friend Sara,� Leo said.

�Yes�I promised her when I come back that I�d find her,� Piper said.

�Piper she probably dead,� Prue said.

�No she not�I promised Prue I can�t break that,� Piper said.

�After Phoebe back you can go,� Cole said.

�All of us�she wants to meet all of you�and yes that means you too Leo,� Piper said making sure Cole and Bane understood.


Phoebe was now in an old type old house with people who weren�t dressed like her and she felt uncomfortable.  A woman with long blond hair came in the view, she had a kind smiled and remembered her of someone, but she didn�t know who yet.  Michael was talking to a group of men and she knew this wasn�t good.


�Come with me�you need to change,� the woman said.

�Who are you,� Phoebe asked.

�Rebecca�I am Michael younger sister,� Rebecca said.


�She remembers nothing,� a man said. 

�Nothing�she thought I knew her,� Michael said.

�Fine we tell her we found her and know she is apart of this community,� one said.

�She might think we�re Amish,� Michael said.

�Tell her we are not�we just don�t like the modern world technology,� another said.

�I will Rebecca is helping her change,� Michael said.


�Do you remember anything,� Rebecca said and then a name came to her.

�Melinda Warren�I believe my name is Melinda Warren,� Phoebe said.

�That great�Melinda,� Rebecca said.


Phoebe couldn�t describe it but she felt as if that name was hers put apart of her.  She finished putting on the clothing of what seemed like clothes from the 1800�s and Phoebe knew she had never warn clothing like this before.  Her light brown was pulled back so it was not on her shoulders and simple necklace was put around her neck.  She took a step back and looked at her self in the mirror and Rebecca gave a small smile and left the room.


�Michael she remembers her name,� Rebecca said.

�Anything else,� a man said.

�No Nicolas,� Rebecca said.  

�Where is she,� Michael said.

�I am here,� Phoebe said as she saw three men standing besides Michael.

�This is Melinda Warren�Melinda this three of our council members Nicolas, David, and Mathew,� Rebecca said.

�It is a pleasure to meet you all,� Phoebe said.

�No Miss Warren the pleasure is ours,� Nicolas said.

�I think I�ll take her to her room,� Rebecca said and they left.

�Michael are you going invite her to your wedding,� Nicolas said.

�She would need someone to take her,� David said.

�Mathew would you�I think Rebecca would like her to.  She�s only been here for an hour but Rebecca would like to go,� Michael said.

�If she would like it,� Nicolas said.


Prue had not slept in almost a day and Cole knew this was not good and had to talk to her.  He softly tried to walk in the room, but Bane was walking out.  He knew by that look that this wasn�t going to be easy and he braced himself.  She was sitting on the couch just waiting for Phoebe.


�Prue you need sleep,� Cole said.

�Go away,� Prue said.

�I�m not like Bane�so you can even go to bed or I can sit here with you,� Cole said taking a seat.

�What if she comes,� Prue said.

�I don�t think she�ll come any time soon�Leo says she back but he can�t find her,� Cole said.

�Fine a few hours then,� Prue said.

�Then you have to go to work�if she not back by tomorrow night I�ll looking for her,� Cole said.

�Thanks Cole,� Prue said.

�Anytime,� Cole said.


Days had passed and everyone in the small community loved Phoebe and took her in as if she was born here.  They had to estimate her age and they said she was about 25 and that meant she might marry if he wanted.  It was Michael wedding day and Nicolas had taken a seat and Phoebe had taken a seat next to him like she was told to.  Phoebe looked at the bride and groom with a longing to have that.  


�Did you enjoy the ceremony Melinda,� Nicolas said.

�Very much Nicolas,� Phoebe said.

�Would you like to dance,� Nicolas said.

�I don�t know if I know how,� Phoebe said.

�Let see,� Nicolas said.


Everyone saw that Nicolas was leading Phoebe out to the dance floor and it surprised everyone that she could dance.  They had space between then which Phoebe thought was strange, but she blamed it on her memory loss.  Everyone was watching them, and few knew that this might lead to a wedding.


�He is taken by her,� Michael said.

�As she is him,� Mathew said.

�If she marries him she will be a member of this community,� David said.

�Then lets hope,� Michael said.


�Melinda I know we�ve only known each other for a week,� Nicolas said.

�Yes since Michael found me,� Phoebe said,

�I know this is Michael and Elizabeth�s wedding�but will you be my wife,� Nicolas said.


Phoebe see that he meant every word of this and they had taken their seats and she felt like she was on the spot.  If she said no he would hate her and want her to leave, but if she said yes she would take something she didn�t know she really wanted.  Yet she did feel an attraction for him, his brown hair and blue eyes would make any girl heart melt and she just didn�t know what she should do.

�Yes,� Phoebe said standing up with a slight smile.

�I have to tell Michael,� Nicolas said as he hugged her.


�Everyone I have an announcement to make�Council Member Nicolas Jackson ands Melinda Warren are to be married,� Michael said.


There was lot of peoples who gave them their congratulations along with Michael and Elizabeth.  Rebecca took Phoebe hand and they began there way towards home.  Rebecca could see the look on Phoebe face and knew she had felt pressured into this marriage but there was nothing she could do.  Nicolas was a man that didn�t take no for an answer, she knew that well.  They had been friends since childhood and that why he was in the council because he didn�t take no and always got what he wanted.


�Melinda do you remember a thing,� Rebecca said.

�No just feelings,� Phoebe said.

�Like,� Rebecca said.

�Like Melinda not my name and this isn�t my life,� Phoebe said sadly.

�If you ever remember anything tell me,� Rebecca said.

�Here we are home sweet home,� Phoebe said.
