(Authors note: This story is the result of a challenge I received. The challenge was to crossover two completely unrelated shows. I hope you enjoy it.)
When a demon attacks, the Charmed Ones are sucked into a vortex and end up in the last place in the universe they would have ever expected to be. And they have no idea how to defeat the demon or return home.
ONE
Phoebe came into the manor and nearly collapsed in one of the chairs in the living room. Paige was just coming down the stairs as Phoebe flopped into the chair. As she rubbed her eyes, Paige walked up next to her.
"Hey," Paige said, "rough day?"
"You have no idea," Phoebe responded. "I think I answered every stupid letter in my office today. I never knew there were so many people out there with minor problems that they just blow up into what they feel are world crises. Honestly, some woman's dog disappears for a couple of days and she wants to know if she should contact the FBI about it. Have you ever heard of anything so ridiculous in your life?"
"I hope you didn't respond to her that way?" Paige asked.
"Of course not," Phoebe said, just a bit annoyed. "I was as diplomatic as possible and told the woman to get a life. Not in those terms, of course. But it seems that I had nothing but stupid questions like that today."
"Well, you know what they say," Paige said. "One mans' mountain is another mans' molehill."
'No one says that," Phoebe said.
"Well, it's true," said Paige. "It might not seem important to you but I'm sure it was important to that woman."
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Phoebe said. "I guess when you have to fight demons and save the world for a living some of the more mundane problems just seem so idiotic."
"It's all a matter of perspective," Piper said as she and Leo came in the front door. Both were carrying grocery bags. "Whose problems seem idiotic?"
"Some of my readers," Phoebe said as she and Paige helped them to the kitchen with the bags. "I think some of them have nothing better to do than sit around and think up stupid problems for me to solve."
"I'm sure it's not like that," Leo said. "Like Piper said, it's all a matter of perspective. You just have to remember that to most people, their lives and problems are all they usually have to worry about. Most don't even know that demons exist. If they did, I'm sure their problems wouldn't seem so pressing."
"I complained about having no shoes until I met a man with no feet," Paige quoted from an old proverb. "Tomorrow will probably be a better day."
"I guess so," Phoebe said. "At least it's over for now. I'm just going to veg out and take it easy tonight. I'll worry about tomorrows problems tomorrow."
"That's my girl," Piper said. "Now, if you three will get out of my kitchen, I'll prepare dinner. Unlike Phoebe, my day isn't over yet. Now, everyone out."
Phoebe, Paige, and Leo all immediately left the kitchen. They all knew how Piper got when she was cooking. It was best if they just made a graceful exit and left her to her first passion.
