CHAPTER TWO
"Phoebe, Paige, hurry up! We have to be at the club in 5 minutes!" Piper Halliwell yelled upstairs to her sisters. Normally she would have been at the club already, but today was different. Today she was going to watch a new local band called Awakened at Dawn audition for the job as house band of P3, and she needed her sisters' opinions before she made her decision. Phoebe, Paige, and Piper's husband Leo had all agreed with Piper when she decided to stop going through the trouble of trying to book big name music acts for the club-trouble that included the manager of a band she had hired being evil and trying to kill them all-and to get a house band that would play the club every night without hassle or evil managers. The band she was hearing today was a group of 18 year olds who had been friends for a long time and had started the band in their hometown. Piper looked at the application again. It said that the band had broken up when one of their lead singers/guitar players had moved to San Francisco after her father's death, but had reunited when the other members moved to 'Frisco to be close to her while she tried to deal with her father's passing. "Wow," thought Piper. "These kids really know how to treat a friend." The sound of her sisters coming down the stairs interrupted her thoughts. "We're ready!" said Phoebe, Piper's younger sister. "Let's go!" "Wait a minute," said Paige, the youngest sister, called from inside the closet. "I can't find my shoes!" Piper and Phoebe smiled at each other. Ever since they could remember, it had been Piper, Phoebe, and their oldest sister, Prudence-Prue for short- being the Charmed Ones, together fighting evil and saving innocents. But Prue had died, killed by the demon Shax when Phoebe, Leo, and Phoebe's demon ex Cole made a deal with a demon to reverse time to save Piper, who had been killed first. This time around, Leo had been unable to save Prue after saving Piper, and the Power of Three had been temporarily destroyed. Then, when Piper-in her grief-tried to summon Prue, she accidently summoned her and Phoebe's mother and grandmother. Phoebe and Leo, who had been looking for Piper, had come up to the attic in time to witness Piper's shock when Patty and Grams had appeared instead of Prue. While Piper and Phoebe listened in total and complete disbelief, Patty explained to them that they had a younger half-sister, Patty's child from her affair with her whitelighter Sam, a daughter named Paige. When they found Paige, she didn't immediately take to being a witch, much the same as Piper didn't immediately take to Paige. But eventually, everything worked out, and there they were, 2 years later, getting ready to go to the club and hear the auditioning band. Suddenly, two streams of blue and white orbs appeared, and Leo, Piper's husband, and Chris, Phoebe and Paige's whitelighter, were standing before them. "So, what's the story on this band we're all seeing?" asked Chris. "Well," said Piper. "They're called Awakened at Dawn, and they're going to wonder where the hell we are if we don't get moving!" "Geez, just asking!" said Chris, putting his hands up in mock self-defense. "Don't we have any info on them?" Leo picked up the band's application that Piper had left on the hall table and handed it to Chris. "This might give you the info you're looking for." Chris read the application and whistled. "Boy, these kids sound like they'll be headed for a break-up worthy of 'Behind the Music' in a few years. How long have they been together?" he asked as he handed the paper back to Leo. "6 years. They started the band when they were all in 7th grade," Leo read off the paper. "They broke up for a bit when one of the lead singers' father died in 12th grade and her mother moved her here, but they got back together about 3 ½ months ago when the rest of the band moved out here to be with her for support." "So," Chris asked. "Who are these kids anyways?" "Human," said Paige sarcastically, getting a laugh from Piper and Phoebe. "No, I mean names. What are their names and what do they do in the band?" said Chris with a hint of annoyance in his voice. Leo looked at the paper and said, "OK, we have 3 girls, 2 boys. Janna Allen is a lead singer, also plays fender acoustic and tambourine. Mike Walters plays drums. Jacob Danvers plays keyboard, sometimes the harmonica when needed. Serena Freedman is a lead singer and plays bass guitar, and Caitlin Dorian is a lead singer and plays electric guitar. She's the one who moved here when her father passed away." "OK, OK, enough with the background information," said an exasperated Piper. "Paige, have you found your shoes yet?" Paige nodded. "OK then, let's go!" With that they all went out the door, except Leo. "Leo, you coming?" asked Phoebe. "In a second." "Well then, could you grab the application on your way out? Piper left it on the table." "OK." Leo read the names on the application again. He stopped when he came to Caitlin Dorian. He went through the pictures attached to the application, reading the backs until he found Caitlin's picture. He stared at the picture of the blonde haired, blue-eyed girl and said "I wonder if- no, it can't be. It can't be the same Dorian." Piper came in the door and said "Leo! Let's go!" Leo looked at the application and the picture, and said "OK." as he walked out of the door, application in hand, all the while thinking, "It can't be the same Dorian, it just can't be."
oooooh! cliffhanger! well, if you want to find out what happens, you gotta review! but i'll give you a little taste of what's coming up! Next: The band arrives for the audition, and Jeanne makes a startling revelation to Caiti regarding her father. Meanwhile, Leo must face a mistake he made in his past with regards to Jeanne.
