"Uh, Buffy? Are you sure this is a good idea?" Willow asked. She stared in uncertainty at the Mook beside the counter, who was chewing on a dusty book. Her green eyes widened when she saw the title of it and she raced towards the large beast, snatching the book from his claws and shaking her index finger at him. "Bad Mook! We need this spell book to send you back home!" The Mook let out a soft whine before turning to grab a scented candle from the shelves. He sniffed at it delicately then licked it with a long, shiny tongue.
Dawn giggled. "The poor Mook is harmless. To us, at least." She was sitting on the stairway that lead to the "off-limits" area of The Magic Box, squished in beside Spike.
"Yeah!" Xander chirped from the couch on the other side of the shop, "You weren't at the cemetery last night but I'm telling you, Will, I'd be dead if Mook hadn't helped." He pretended to strangle himself and fall dead.
"Mooks are very nice fellas." Anya nodded, skating to Xander and wrapping her hands around his shoulders. She bent down and gave him a long kiss.
"Get a room, will ya?" Spike rolled his eyes. "Nibblet's still here."
"I actually agree with Spike this time." Buffy said loudly, stretching her neck and frowning at the inappropriate kiss. She crossed her arms and leaned back against the counter when the couple pulled away from each other.
"Anya's right," Giles called from behind the cash register. "And he did help Xander. It doesn't do us any harm to return the favor." He took out his pocket-watch and glanced down at it, murmuring, "Where is Tara? She said she'd be here ten minutes ago."
"How did he even get here?" Dawn murmured thoughtfully, twirling a long strand of hair around her finger.
"Mooks are quite loyal and demons tend to find them useful as slaves." Giles answered. He took off his glasses and wiped them with the bottom of his shirt. "It's usually their masters who drag them from one dimension to another. Since they're not very, uh, smart, they're defenseless against them."
"Aw." Willow reached out to caress the top of Mook's hairy head and whispered, "Well that's not very nice, is it? We'll get you home, Mooky."
At that moment the door flew open and Tara rushed in.
"So sorry I'm late." She mumbled, struggling to catch her breath.
"It's okay. You're here now, baby."
Giles turned to the two, "Are you ready, girls?"
They nodded. Giles slid open the glass display beside the counter and took out a small jar labeled "Conjuring Powder." Tara nodded her thanks when he handed it to her, carefully unscrewing it open as Willow wiped the spell book Mook had slobbered all over and flipped to the page they needed. They studied the spell for a few seconds before setting the book aside and sitting on the floor Indian style. Tara dipped her forefinger into the jar and passed it to Willow, who did the same. As the others gathered to watch from a distance, they dragged their fingers across the wooden floor. When the powder touched to form a circle, they lifted their palms and pressed them against each other. Finally, they closed their eyes and began to chant.
"Deorum clamat ad te. Aperite portas dimensiva.
Si vocare te sumus. Aperite portas dimensiva!
Aperite portas dimensiva!"
The ground rumbled, followed by a bright flash of light that had them all turning away to shield their eyes. A blue-white swirl appeared where the counter had once been.
"What happened to the cash register?!" Anya cried, hazel eyes wide. "My money!"
"I'm sure everything will go back to normal as soon as Willow and Tara close the portal." Xander tried unsuccessfuly to soothe her.
"I should go check. Maybe it's still there." Anya insisted, fidgeting.
"Control your woman, mate." Spike groaned when Anya dove out of Xander's arms.
"Anya, watch out!" Xander suddenly shouted, a horrified look on his face.
Too late. Anya's right skate caught on the scented candle Mook had been playing with earlier and she tumbled straight into the portal with a yelp. Almost immediately, Xander jumped in after her, his own body disappearing as it made contact with the swirling figure. Buffy smacked a hand to her forehead and turned to look at a stunned Giles.
"Buffy... I think-"
"I know, I know." She interrupted, letting out a frustrated breath. Grabbing her younger sister's shoulders tightly, she barked, "You stay here."
"But I-"
"No buts! You're staying and that's final! Understood?"
Though she was sulking, the brunette nodded.
Buffy gave her a quick hug. "We'll be back before you know it."
"No worries, Slayer, I'll take good care of Dawn." Spike wrapped his arm around Dawn's shoulder, smiling innocently at Buffy.
"You are coming with me." hissed Buffy. She turned to her Watcher, "Take care of her, please, Giles."
Spike sighed but let Buffy take his hand and lead him away.
Giles rested his hand on Dawn's arm, as if to say 'Don't worry. She's in good hands' and Buffy nodded, turning to smile at them one last time.
"Wait! Buffy!" cried Willow.
"We'll find a way to contact you!" Buffy promised and Willow didn't have a chance to respond before she had disappeared inside the portal, pulling Spike along with her.
Willow gasped, eyes huge. Despite what Buffy had told her she found herself saying, "I-I have to help my friends, sweetie." She smiled weakly at Tara, who nodded and said softly, "I understand."
Willow pulled her hands away from Tara's and scrambled to her feet. "Giles, I'll-we'll contact you somehow."
"Yes, yes, very well. Be careful." Giles clasped his hands together anxiously and nodded.
Dawn, who had been observing the scene quietly, saw that the portal was beginning to flicker. Her sister was going to kill her for what she was about to do but Dawn couldn't stay behind knowing there was nothing she could do to help her friends. And so she pushed past an unsuspecting Giles, diving into the portal just as she heard his infuriated yell, "Dawn!"
"I'll tell her it wasn't your fault!" Willow quickly assured him. A red faced Giles could only nod.
"Take care!" Tara called after her girlfriend. Willow was the last to jump into the swirling figure. Within seconds, the portal had disappeared altogether.

Elena let her pom-poms fall to the ground as she took a long swig of water. Beside her, Bonnie was struggling to gather her sweaty curls into a pony tail.
"Good game!" Caroline chirped as she came out of the bathroom wearing only her matching black and white polka dot lingerie.
"Yeah." replied Elena, forcing a smile.
"Did you see Tyler?" Caroline swooned. "He played so good."
Elena chugged on her water to avoid answering while Bonnie nodded and giggled.
"Oh come on, Elena." Caroline insisted. She swung open her locker door and pulled out her sports bag, "You can't tell me you don't think Smallwood is totally hawt!"
Elena and Bonnie shared an uneasy look. They still remembered what had happened to Caroline and their beloved town because of Shinichi and Misao-before the Celestial Court had agreed to restore Fells Church to its original state-even if the auburn-haired girl didn't. A possessed, impregnated Caroline had been running around Fells Church causing nothing but destruction. Just thinking about it made Elena shudder.
Bonnie gave up on her hair, tossing the rubberband aside. Throwing a towel over her shoulder and making her way into the bathroom, she called, "I'm gunna' shower. Be right back."
"Hurry. Stefan and Matt are waiting for us." Elena reminded her before turning back to Caroline.
"Stefan, hm?" Caroline teased. She slipped into shorts and a sleeveless top before swinging her legs over the bench that seperated them and sitting down. "You live with him, right?"
"No." Elena narrowed her eyes. "Where'd you get that from?"
"So you just sleepover every weekend." Caroline raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow, feigning confusion. "That it?"
"I don't think it's any of your business what I do or don't do." Elena responded flatly.
"But I'm just worried about your family." Caroline pouted. "I mean, I don't think you're setting a very good example for little Maggy."
Elena balled her hands into fists, "Don't worry about my family, Caroline. Like I said, it's none of your business. And I'll have you know that I'm eighteen years old, officially an adult."
"That doesn't mean you can ditch your family to spend time with a guy you met only a year ago." Caroline shot back, sneering.
Elena pinched the bridge of her nose and closed her eyes, urging herself to calm down. "There are reasons as to why I spend so much time with my boyfriend...secrets that keep us together."
"Like a pregnancy?"
Elena's eyes flew open. "Excuse me?"
"You're pregnant. It's the only reasonable explanation." Caroline stood up to face her. She pursed her lips. "Mommy would be so disappointed."
Elena was red with fury. Before she could stop herself, Elena marched forward and slapped Caroline across the face.
Caroline yelped and clutched her cheek. Elena didn't seem to notice the rest of the gawking cheerleaders as she looked Caroline dead in her cat green eyes and whispered, "You don't know anything about me."
That was when Bonnie emerged from one of the shower stalls, a towel wrapped around her slim body. She hummed to herself, squeezing water out of her hair. As soon as she saw the red handprint on Caroline's cheek she froze. "What happened?!"
"Let's go, Bonnie." Elena managed through clenched teeth.
"But I haven't-"
Elena didn't let her finish, grabbing her arm and dragging her through the locker room door, despite the fact that the redhead was still dripping wet and wrapped in a towel.

As Stefan pulled up to the Boarding House and parked, Bonnie wrapped the towel tighter around her body, sighing, "Caroline's wrong. Don't worry about her, Elena."
"I know but it still pisses me off."
"We know the truth, love, that's all that matters."
Matt looked at Bonnie and snickered. "You could have let her change."
Bonnie smacked his arm and Elena blushed. "Sorry."
"'S okay."
Matt held the door open after crawling out of Stefan's car, waiting for Bonnie to follow.
"I sort of got your seat wet." Bonnie apologized, reddening when she saw the water stain her hair had left behind.
Stefan chuckled. "Don't worry about it."
Bonnie was walking beside Matt, grass crunching under her bare feet when Damon appeared beside the open doorway.
"Redbird." He greeted. His dark eyes trailed up and down her body appreciatevely. "I like your..wardrobe choice."
If Bonnie could have blushed, she would have, and wildly. But she was too focused at the moment, trying hard to ignore the voices buzzing in the back of her mind and ineffectively trying to push aside the prophecy she knew was coming. But, like she knew it would happen, she lost the battle and was engulfed in darkness.
"Fate will bring you together." A hollow, raspy voice that was not Bonnie's came from the redhead's mouth.
Damon was by her side within seconds, staring into her blank, empty eyes as she continued.
"Your choices will determine whether you live or die."
Matt wanted nothing more than to reach out and touch her but Damon's velvety voice warned, "Don't."
"She's coming and there's nothing you can do to avoid it.."
"Who's coming?" Damon questioned carefully.
"The Slayer."
