NOTES
Agent Sassy J: Okay, I can definitely agree on the actually finding a piece to read that isn't slash. I mean, that isn't how the characters were written, was it? I mean, sure, changing some things is cool, but changing that just seems so, wrong. If I were an author and found out people were writing such weird things about the characters I created who aren't like that, I'd be pissed. I mean, I have no problem with it, everyone makes their own decisions, but messing with other peoples characters like that bothers me. Any who, thanks for the review. Glad you like the story. And please, keep reviewing!
Faith-charmer: I don't mind if she joins, just so long as she doesn't like Bianca. ANYONE WHO WANTS TO JOIN THE 'We-HATE-Bianca' CLUB IS WELCOME TO. Yeah, that was for anyone else. I'm dedicating this chapter to Bianca haters, because, yeah. What do you mean, how does this two worlds thing work? I'm confuzzled!
Darkness Amber: Just curious, what do you mean by a Brian/Chris thing?
THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS!
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Piper stared at the little baby in the bed. "Wow, he's ..."
"He's the ugliest kid I've ever seen," Chris stated.
"Hey!" Holly exclaimed. She picked her son up. "Finley is a cutie," She cooed. The baby laughed and clapped his hands.
"Not only is he ugly, he's stupid, too," Wyatt whispered to Chris.
"I heard that!" Holly said. She held the baby close to her chest. "And might I say, you're quite an ugly baby, too."
"After the first month he looked a lot better!" Piper objected.
"I meant Chris," Holly said. "The kid who plays him isn't the best looking. At least he grows up to look ... how do those fan girls put it? Hott."
"I have fan girls?" Chris said with a silly grin. Wyatt whacked him in the arm.
"Drew has fan girls. Not you," He said.
"Sheesh, ruin to the fun," Chris growled.
Wyatt shrugged. "I just want to get home to Kira."
"Kira this, Kira that," Chris mimicked in a high pitched voice.
"Who's Kira?" Piper asked nervously.
"Wyatt's girlfriend," Chris said, making ridiculous goo-goo eyes at Wyatt.
"Cut it out," Wyatt snapped.
"Don't you have a girlfriend?" Holly asked, interested by the conversation.
"I don't wanna talk about it," Chris said, suddenly very solemn and serious.
"Oh no. Is Bianca -."
"Who?" Chris asked.
"The Assassin witch," Piper said slowly.
Chris shuddered. "You mean that really sleazy girl we vanquished permanently? Wasn't she, like, five years older than me? Why would you even think that?"
"Actually, she was six years older thank you," Wyatt corrected.
"Whatever. Man, she thought the whole world should bow down to her, was bossy and overbearing, and sht."
"Watch your language," Piper said. "There's a small child present."
"Thank you," Holly said, smiling at Piper. Then she looked to Chris. "So you don't even have a girlfriend?"
"Gee, I wonder why," Wyatt said sarcastically.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Chris snapped.
"Well, the sarcasm has got to stop. No one's going to take you seriously if you don't act it," Wyatt told him.
"Serious is so boring. And it's overrated," Chris said.
"And the burping contests have got to go," Wyatt added.
"If girls can't accept me the way I am, then fine. Who needs them, anyways?" Chris grumbled.
"What about Danielle? I thought you were going to ask her out," Wyatt asked. "You told me you really liked her."
"I am not discussing this in front of them," Chris said, gesturing to Piper and Holly, who had identical looks of amusement on their faces.
"Hello everybody!" Phoebe called in a sing song voice as she stepped through the bedroom door. Or was it Alyssa? Whoever it was was followed by an exact duplicate. They even wore the same clothes – bell bottom blue jeans and a red halter top. They're hair was down and perfectly straight.
"Chris! Wyatt!" The second one exclaimed. She gave them quick hugs, and then looked at Holly and Piper.
"You're Piper," She said, pointing to Piper.
"Gee, how'd you figure it out?" Piper asked sarcastically.
Phoebe took it good naturedly, and replied, "You're not holding the baby. Plus, you're wearing the same clothes you were wearing earlier."
"Let me see the baby, Holly," Alyssa exclaimed.
Holly looked hesitant, and then slowly passed the small child over to Alyssa.
"Oh, he's so cute!" Phoebe exclaimed, running to her duplicate's side. Finley was now staring at them with a confused look on his face.
"What's with the twin thing?" Piper asked, gesturing to their clothes, and hair.
"Isn't it cool? It was Phoebe's idea," Alyssa said.
"Now no one can tell us apart!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"Yes. Except for you can levitate, have premonitions, and are an empath," Chris pointed out.
"Actually, I can only levitate and get premonitions. I still -."
"Haven't gotten empathy back," Alyssa and Phoebe finished together. They burst out laughing.
"Hey, what's with the laugh fest?" Paige asked as she stalked into the room. Next to her was Rose, wearing sunglasses over her eyes, her hair down to cover her face. Paige's hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she wore simple jeans and a white penny shirt, while Rose was dressed in a stylish black dress.
"I hope you have a plan to fix this," Rose grumbled.
"You two not getting along?" Phoebe asked.
"No, she just had a ride over 'a la orbs'," Paige said cheerfully. "Who's the kid?"
"This is Holly's son, Finley," Alyssa explained.
"Hey Rose, take off the sunglasses," Holly suggested.
"I'd rather not," Rose muttered.
"Paige, what did you do?" Piper demanded.
"Me? I didn't do anything. It was that guy at the shop who did it," Paige replied.
"Did what?" Alyssa asked.
Rose groaned, and then pulled the sun glasses off, revealing a giant black eye. Holly burst out laughing. "Let me guess. Shawn, right?" She asked.
Rose nodded miserably.
"I offered to do a spell," Paige said. "But she refuses. The whole thing was sort of my fault."
"How is it your fault?" Alyssa asked. "Rose is the one who totally humiliated him on national TV." (AN: Once again, making this up)
"Yeah, but I dragged her into the shop to grab a map," Paige admitted. "And then when he saw the two of us, he asked which one of us was Rose. I said she was, and he slugged her."
"She deserves it," Holly replied simply.
"Alright, what's the plan?" Chris asked, getting annoyed with them not getting down to business.
"Phoebe, get to work on a spell to take us back. We'll deal with everything else once we're home," Piper declared.
"Come on Alyssa, let's get to work on a spell," Phoebe said.
"Oh, I always wanted to do that," Alyssa replied. The two walked off.
"They're too friendly," Holly acknowledged darkly.
"So when do we get to meet our counterparts?" Wyatt asked.
"Hopefully never," Piper replied.
Wyatt's jaw dropped. "Oh come on, Mom! How come you get to meet yours, and we don't?"
"Because I said so," Piper replied. Then she turned to Holly. "Would you know if there is an occult shop nearby?"
"Of course she'd know. Right Holly?" Shannon asked as she stepped in. Everyone turned to stare at her.
"Prue?" Paige finally asked.
"No, Shannon. But Alyssa called me over saying I had to check out her double. Sorry it took me so long to get up here. David had me running around downstairs trying to help him get things organized because Holly took off," Shannon explained.
Rose snorted. "Since when are you and Alyssa on speaking terms?" She asked.
"Since you weren't answering your phone, and Holly's was busy," Shannon answered grumpily as Rose turned a slight shade of pink.
"Someone was out partying late last night. Again," Holly said to Rose.
"Shut up," Rose snapped.
"So why do we need an occult shop?" Shannon asked.
"So I can get some things for a potion," Piper replied.
"Ooh, a potion. We should start cackling, huh Holly?" Shannon said.
"Will you give it a rest?" Holly snapped.
"I'm confused," Rose said. "What are you guys talking about?"
"When we first got the job Shannon and I checked out this occult store to do a little bit of research on the part," Holly explained.
"The guy at the shop scared Holly so bad," Shannon said with a chuckle.
Holly groaned. "He was going on and on about the goddess, and the important phases of the moon and stuff. He was creepy," She said.
"And yet you play a witch on TV," Paige said.
"And yet she has witches from another world standing in her son's bedroom," Chris pointed out. Holly looked around, realizing what they said was true, and began to shoo them out.
Shannon laughed. "I'll take you guys over to the shop," She said.
"Thanks," Piper said.
"Well if you guys don't need me anymore, I think I'll -," Rose started.
"No way. You're coming with us," Shannon told her. Rose groaned, but followed them to the door.
"Holly!" Someone called, stopping them. Shannon turned around to see David standing there.
"Umm, David, Holly's upstairs," She said.
"She's right here," David said as if Shannon knew nothing. He leaned over to kiss Piper, but she slapped him across the face.
"I'm married!" She exclaimed.
"To our Dad," Chris added under his breath.
David blinked. "What?" Then he noticed the double Rose's. "Did I miss something? Rose, you never mentioned a twin."
"She is not my twin," Rose and Paige said at the same time.
"What's going on?" David asked.
"My cousin from out of town is visiting," Rose said slowly. "And she brought her friend, who happens to look a lot like Holly. Holly's actually upstairs with Finley."
"Oh," David said. He looked at Piper. "I'm so sorry. You look just like my wife."
"Uh, it's okay. It was a mistake," Piper replied with a stiff shrug.
"Can we go now?" Chris asked with annoyance.
"Relax," Wyatt whispered to him.
"Sure. I'll see you guys at the party," David said.
"Yeah, sure," Chris replied dully. Then he started pulling his Mom and Wyatt out of the house.
"Why don't we just orb there?" Paige suggested.
"Because that is way too suspicious," Piper said.
"When we orbed here earlier, the cook almost saw us," Rose pointed out.
"Fine," Paige pointed. "We'll take the car."
"Speaking of cars, Paige, when are you going to get rid of yours? You don't even use it anymore. It's just taking up space in the driveway, and money on nonexistent insurance," Piper said.
"But it's my little green bug! Wyatt, help me out," Paige said.
"Why? Mom's right, it takes up too much space," Wyatt replied.
"Thank you," Piper said.
Rose fidgeted nervously, staring at Shannon's car. "Uh, Shannon? We're not going to have a repeat of last time I was in your car, right?" Rose asked, shifting uncomfortably.
"I'm not drunk, am I?" Shannon shot out.
"Just checking," Rose said. She looked across the way, and waved at two guys working in the garden.
Paige rolled her eyes, and whispered to Piper, "And I thought Phoebe was bad. Every cute guy we came across she was waving at and blowing kisses to."
Shannon burst out laughing, and then got into the van.
"I'm confused," Chris said. "If you're a movie star, why do you have a van?"
"My other car's in the shop, and I'm borrowing this from my brother," She explained.
"Why don't you just buy a new one?" Chris countered.
"I don't want a new one," Shannon replied with a little annoyance. "In the car."
In the Shop
"Piper, take Rose and Paige to get your stuff. I'll look around with Chris and Wyatt," Shannon said.
"You sound just like Prue," Paige said.
"Oh please," Rose said. "You don't even know Prue."
"Actually, we met her about an hour and a half ago," Chris said.
"Huh?" Rose asked.
"Why don't you try to explain it to her, Aunt Paige? I think I see a really cool amulet," Chris said, before walking off.
"Uh, did that really just happen?" Paige asked. She turned to Piper. "Does that kid, in any future, learn any manners?"
"It doesn't seem that way," Piper muttered angrily. "Alright, gruesome twosome. Let's try and find some ingredients for a potion."
Paige and Rose muttered to each other with annoyance, and then followed after Piper, leaving Wyatt and Shannon alone. Shannon turned to Wyatt.
"What say you and I go visit the keeper?" She suggested.
"Doesn't seem like there's anything better to do," Wyatt replied with a shrug. The two walked off.
Chris turned the corner to the books. There was a man over in the corner with his girlfriend, practically having a make-out session, but Chris chose to ignore him and look through the books. This place was a lot better then the shops in his world. Most of them had a creepy atmosphere to scare little kids. This place had a nice, homey feeling to it.
He picked up one of the books, and started flipping through it. Maybe he could find a book on how to get home.
Halfway through the third book, Chris stopped on a page and stared down at it, reading it through. Here was his answer! Here was the way to get back home! In his excitement, Chris spun around and walked right into the man that had been over at the table. His girlfriend stood behind him.
"Oof!" They both said, taking a step back. Both held their head, after bumping it.
"Sorry," they murmured together. Chris looked over and stared at the man, who was now staring at him. They looked exactly alike, except this man was about an inch taller, and his face seemed a little more matured.
"Uhh, you must be Drew Fuller," Chris finally said.
"Who are you?" Drew asked.
"Uh, Wyatt!" He called. He took a few nervous steps back, and then orbed out of the space, leaving a very confused Drew.
He reappeared right in front of his Mother. "Oh, Mom! I found a way to get home!" He said excitedly, just as Drew rounded the corner, and stared at the group before him in bewilderment. His girlfriend right behind him.
