A/N- Thank you everyone for the nice reviews. I'm glad you like it so far. Here is the nect chapter. I'm not exactly sure what to do for the next one, so a little help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the reviews... i love to read them.
"Okay, I'm not sure if this is right, but hey I'll go out on a limb. I never thought I'd be seeing my alter ego anyway."
"Your alter ego?" Paige looked at her mad. "What, are you saying that I'm you. Dream on sister."
"Will you please listen? Wow! I never knew I was so stubborn in the show."
Paige pouted her lips, crossed her arms and fell back on the couch.
"From what I can figure we got transported through some kind of portal. I personally believe in the supernatural, even though I know you guys aren't so sure, but think about it. We were driving to Dan's when we landed in the Manor. The Manor that Aaron set up and borrowed so we could tape our show. If I'm right, then we're probably here for a reason, just like we always say in our show."
"What show are you talking about?" Phoebe asked, looking at Rose. Alyssa answered.
"In our world, we're actresses. I play the part of Phoebe, you. You can guess what my friends play." Phoebe sat and thought about this for a while before responding.
"So, you play us, in a television show?"
"Yes. We're just finishing up the seventh season. We were just having a little problem with lines."
"Well, we're having a little trouble at work as well, but that's not the point right now. I'm still trying to get all this straight. Are you telling me that all that we've done over the past seven years has all been an act, that we mirror your world? This is all very confusing."
"I agree."
"Let's try to get our heads around this. In your show, Chris is Piper's son, right? And so is Wyatt? And Leo was an elder but he returned to be with Piper and they renewed their wedding vows? Prue died the third year we were witches?"
"Yes, Shannen was let go of the show in the Third Season."
"Shannen. That's a nice name, figures. Anyway... why are you here? Is there magic in your world? Are there any elders that sent you here?"
"No, we don't have elders."
"But the elders exist outside of reality, or worlds, or planes, whatever you want to call it." Piper spoke up, quietly, still trying to think.
"That's true. They could know all about this. In fact, they're probably laughing at us right now." Phoebe said, nodding.
"Can I talk now?" Paige looked frustrated and was not liking her personifier. Who was this Actress to question her personality? She couldn't have made up all of Paige. She was an individual person, with private thoughts and dreams.
"Yes, you may. Be nice." Phoebe said, pointing her finger warningly. Rose wasn't liking her character much either. Did she always look so childish?
"Why should we trust them, I still say? It's a great alibi, I admit, but how can they know everything about us? Impossible. If they really were us, they would know everywhere we've been, everything we've done, everything we've said, because they would've done it too. I say we test them."
"Good point, but even if we do test them, if they're demons, they have probably been watching us for some time. I don't sense anything evil from them." Phoebe said, ignoring their presence.
"It sounds believable. We could call Leo down and ask him. If the elders know about this then they probably know what they are doing here too. Shall I call?"
"Sure, sounds like a plan." Phoebe said. Rose fell back on the couch again. Why didn't anyone listen to her?
"Leo!" Piper said, looking up. The sisters sat still while the actresses shielded their eyes. They weren't used to the bright lights. Sure, they appeared on the show, but that was with the help of lots of editing.
"Yeah?" He turned to Holly, his back to Piper. Holly stood still with tense amusement. He thought that she was Piper. Sure, she was, but could she fool the real Leo that she was the REAL Piper? It would be challenging.
"Hey. Listen, we have a problem." Holly said, acting as if this were just another taping and winging it. "Have the elders opened any portals lately? In another world you know?"
"Not that I know of, why?"
"Because me and my friends just came through one."
"What are you talking about?"
"Wow! You are good at being me." Piper said from behind Leo, who turned around and found himself in the middle of two of Piper.
"Well, I do it for a living."
"So you get paid for acting like me?"
"No, I get paid for acting like Piper, which just happens to be you. I mean, I'm sure you would still exist without us acting as... you. Don't you have memories of your childhood?"
Piper thought about it, but before she could answer Leo interrupted.
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Well, Leo, I'm glad you asked that. Which one of us is Piper? Little spouse test."
"Wait... this is a test?"
"Just do it Leo, which one of us is Piper?" one of them said as they both moved together and stood standing next to each other.
"Oh, well that's easy. You are..." He said, pointing to the one of the left.
"Are you sure, Honey?" Said the one of the right.
"Yes, no, I don't know. Piper damn it!" Leo threw an electric ball to the one of the left. Piper (who was on the right) froze it before it hit Holly.
"You're Piper. Now you better tell me what the hell is going on around here."
"Well, Holly, Rose, and Alyssa came through what we believe to be a portal of some kind that transported them from their world to our Manor. They are actresses who portray us... either that or they are us, and without them we are not. It hurts to think about... we just need to know about the portal, and we need to know why they are here.
"Okay, I'll be back." He orbed out and Holly and Piper sat back down.
"Wow, this is actually pretty cool. I mean, I've always wanted to meet you, even though I play you. I mean, to know what you're really like, and to have a conversation with you. Wow."
"I'm flattered, really, but right now, we just have to see if we can get you home."
"Yeah, I'm getting sick of seeing Rose's face. Do you always wear that much lipstick?"
"So do you."
"Really? Are you sure that I don't do it just because you do and I don't have a choice?"
"You're right, this is confusing."
"Damn right."
"Okay!" Phoebe jumped up at the same time as Alyssa. Phoebe spoke first.
"Um guys? Do you think you can just get along for a minute? You are going to have to go check the book."
"For what?" Paige asked
"For portals." Phoebe answered
"Fine." Paige got up
"Do you think you can get along with your 'alter-ego'? Just for a little bit please? You can get to know each other better." Alyssa said, her hands in front of her face open palmed.
"Whatever."
"Thank you."
Rose rolled her eyes, and looked at Paige, who pursed her lips.
"Will you please not do that? It makes me look bad."
Paige pursed her lips more, and then swung on her heel and started up the stairs.
"Great. I can tell I'm going to have loads of fun. Can't I stay down here with Phoebe? You can go handle... me."
"No way. She's all yours. You play her, you know what she's going to do. Please play nice."
"I will if she does."
"Yeah, well remember, she has the powers, you don't."
"Right. Joy and happiness." Rose shook her head, and then climbed the stairs she knew from on set, muttering under her breath.
