"Let's consult the Halliwell's Book of Shadows," said Leo as he started to skim through the ancient volume.
Much later, they had made a list of suitable spells, but each of them would need the full Power of Three to cast.
"There must some other way! A wizard, a genie, a leprechaun. Something!" exclaimed Shannen slamming the book shut.
"The only other powers we came across in our stories were evil. And I don't THINK they would help us get back the Charmed Ones," Holly thought outloud.
"Can't we try and cast a spell? Haven't regular mortals done it?" asked Alyssa.
"Yes. The innocent and pure of heart. But moving three souls across time, space and dimensions is something the Charmed Ones would have to do." explained Leo. "We may have to wait until Prue, Piper and Phoebe figure it out in your world and return."
"Great! Will call me Phoebe! I'm going to get some dinner made. Piper should have a marvelous kitchen. Care to help out, "PRUE", "PIPER"?" said a very unhappy Alyssa.
"Coming," called out Holly.
"Tou go ahead. I'm going to talk to Brian," called Shannen as the other two actors left the attic.
"Leo," Leo reminded her.
Shannen winced. "Sorry. My mistake. It's just I've worked with Brian for over two years and you're just like him. Now just how much danger are we in?" asked Shannen.
"Plenty. As long as others think you're the Charmed Ones, then they will be weary of you. Let them know otherwise and they could kill you. Either because you're imposters or to keep the real Prue from switching back and returning. You never know with the evil in the world," lamented Leo.
"So we need to stick together and you can be OUR guide," concluded Shannen."Instead of the Charmed Ones'"
"Agreed. That's probably best," nodded Leo as they too left the attic.
The phone rung and Holly picked it up in the kitchen.
"Yea," responded Holly.
"Hey, boss. Are you coming in? We have problems!" said Piper's assistant manager.
"Uh, what is it?" asked Holly furling her brow.
"Nuclear Notions, your band, never showed up and the crowd is getting restless," he explained.
"OK. Great! Be down there soon. Bye," said Holly hanging up. "Change of plan. They need some entertainment down at P3. Anyone around here in show business?"
"Holly. Aren't you taking this Piper business too far?" asked Alyssa.
"As long as we're here, let's check out P3 and give the real Piper a hand. The REAL PIPER? That sounds weird. At one time she was just on paper and in my mind. Now."Whoa!" as she would say." mused Holly.
"Who was that?" asked Leo coming in the kitchen followed by Shannen.
"We're needed at the club. Brush up your vocals. The Charmed Ones are breaking into song. Alyssa, you're our lead," said Holly smiling.
Alyssa turned around. "What? Oh right. You got it. I hope they have some tracks I know. This is not exactly like our world." Alyssa wondered.
"You'll be safer here," Leo pleaded in voice he had often use for the Charmed Ones.
Alyssa ponted and looked up at Leo. "And do you want poor Piper to loose her place just causeshe is out of town..state..country..world? Come on Leo. Don't you want to party!" said Alyssa.
Holly and Shannen looked at Leo waiting for an answer.
Leo looked up and then shrugged. "Three against one."
The ladies headed upstairs and changed into the clothes they were used to seeing in their wardrobe department. Looking hot they walked into P3 followed by a reluctant Leo.
"Boss, this place is going to empty unless..'" said Paul running up to Holly.
"Never fear, Phoebe is here," exclaimed Holly loudly.
"WHAT..?" said a confused Paul. "Phoebe?"
"And she will take care of everything. Sha..Prue. Care to try later?" asked Holly.
"Absolutely," she replied. "As long as it's karaoke."
Alyssa sorted through the music and found some tracks that weren't too old that she knew.
"Hello, P3!" she announced. "My name is Phoebe. You wanta hear some music?"
The crowd responded enthusiastically.
"OK. Paul start up the old juke box." she requested. With the music started and the volume turned up real high, Alyssa had the place rocking like she used to in the Far East.
"Not bad. Phoebe can barely carry a tune in a sack!" said Leo.
"Wait till Shannen gets up there," said grinned Holly.
"I will if you will," replied Shannen looking as if she was crazy.
"Done," she replied as Holly beagn to dance to the beat.
P3 get wilder and wilder. No one noticed the one guy in the corner whose eyes seemed to glow in the dark. P3 rocked with the three Hollywood actresses until 2 AM. The regular staff closed the club while Leo, Shannen, Holly and Alyssa headed back to Halliwell Manor.
"That was one hell of a night. Wow!" cried Alyssa.
"It does help to let off steam when we're in the kind of trouble we're in" agreed Shannen.
"You ladies rest up while I speak with the Elders to find a way to switch you with the real Charmed Ones," said Leo as he disappeared in a flurry of white fireflies.
"Can I run a club or what?" asked Holly looking proud of herself.
"It is a lot more fun than working on that old set. HOO-yah!" cried out Alyssa.
Later that night as they slept in their alter-ego's beds a gray mist entered Prue's room. The same demon with the glowing eyes materialized.
"Stealing these witches power's should be a snap once I kidnap the most powerful of them," he thought to himself.
With a wave of his hand both he and Shannen vanished from Halliwell Manor.
Alyssa came down in Phoebe's pajamas as Holly was fixing some breakfast.
"Starting to feel like a slumber party. We don't do this often enough," said
Alyssa yawning.
"What, sliding between worlds?" asked Holly furling her brow.
"No, just us girls hanging out together. What's for breakfast? Smell's good," asked Alyssa.
"Just bacon and eggs. This is fun since I usually DON'T have the time," grinned Holly while breaking some eggs.
"It is nice not having a 5 AM call. I wonder how the real witches are doing? I guess they know the parts better than anyone!" remarked Alyssa.
"And who created the personas in the first place? Is Shannen still asleep?" asked Holly.
"Ah, no. I thought she was already down. Where could she be?" wondered Alyssa loooking around the kitchen.
"Where indeed!" said a voicecoming from nowhere and everywhere.
"That is freaky. Who is it?" asked Holly dropping her spatula.
Alyssa looked all around and could not find the source of the deep voice.
"My name is of no consequence.If you want to see your sister again come to the old Summit Shipping Company Warehouse at sundown. No tricks or she dies!" he said with the voice drifting off at the end.
"OH God! Poor Shannen! She was kidnapped by a..a" cried Holly.
"Whatever has her. This is not make believe. We need Leo," yelled Alyssa.
"LEO! LEO! LEO!" they both cried to the ceiling.
Orbbing in Leo looked very worried. "I know. Prue or Shannen is in trouble. WE have to save her. The power of three is in your world and you all must be in place when Prue, Piper and Phoebe return. Let's go check their Book of Shadows to help out Shannen!" exclaimed Leo.
