Background: Loosely set in season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Peyton, Brooke, and Rachel are all 17 and juniors in high school. Dawn is 15 and freshmen. Buffy, Willow, Tara, Xander, and Anya are all 21-22. That's about all you need to know, enjoy :)
TREE HILL (PEYTONS BEDROOM)
"Can you believe she said that?" Brooke asked with a pout. She was currently laying down facing the ceiling on Peyton's bed.
"Nope. It's a tragedy, really." Peyton replied sarcastically. This whole fighting thing was becoming a routine.
"I'm serious Peyton!"
"I know. That's the sad part. I've heard this story a million times just with a different insult." Peyton scoffed. "Now, just go to Rachel's house and make out or do whatever it is you do after fighting."
"I don't want to." Brooke said like a two-year-old would. She got out of bed and looked out the window. "Besides I-" Brooke stopped mid sentence when she heard a loud popping noise. She turned around to find a missing Peyton. "Fine, if you don't want to listen to my problems I'll just go to Rachel's house to complain about you!" Brooke grumbled as she grabbed her purse and walked out the door.
SUNNYDALE (MAGIC BOX)
"I could always use a spell…" Willow began before immediately being shut down.
"No. No spells. You know what big magic does to you. We'll just have to figure out another…" Buffy tackled Willow to the ground to avoid getting it by a water ball. They weren't sure what it did but they didn't want to find out. "…way. Quick behind the bookshelf."
They leaned against the bookshelf. "What is that thing?"
"Not sure. But I'm going to find out."
Buffy stepped out from behind the shelf. "It's a good thing you stopped by; I'm actually kind of thirsty!" Buffy jumped in the air, attempting to kick the things chest. The problem was it looked like a giant blob of water in a human shape. She merely went right through the water demon and crashed to the floor.
"Okay, plan B."
"What's plan B?" Willow called out from her spot behind the shelf.
"Wish I knew." Buffy replied before getting blasted by a water punch from the unknown demon. Her head hit the wall hard and she was instantly knocked out.
Just then, Dawn came bouncing in through the door. "Hey-" was all that got out of her mouth before being incased by some sort of water shell. It was slowly drowning her but she couldn't move.
"Dawn!" Willow cried out. She quickly mumbled a spell and put up her hands. A small electric bolt sprang from them and hit the demon in its…well it would be a chest if it wasn't water. It seemed to only annoy the demon but he turned around to look at Willow.
"Oh, I'll be back for you, witch. Don't you worry…" And as quickly as he had arrived, he was gone. The water shell broke and Dawn coughed up water.
Willow pulled Dawn into a hug. "I was so afraid…I'm so glad you are okay."
"Buffy…" Dawn pulled away from Willow and they both walked over to a groggy Buffy.
"I'm okay. Just a little bruised in the brain is all…" Buffy slowly got up. "Will…You used magic."
"I know and I'm sorry and I'll never do it again but Dawn was in trouble and I-" Willow rambled before Buffy interrupted.
"It's fine. You saved Dawn. Thank you." Buffy paused and then added "But never, ever again, okay?"
Willow smiled. "Okay. Deal. And you're welcome."
"Now call Tara and Xander so we can figure out what the hell that was."
One hour and ten books later…
"Waterite." Willow read from the book.
Xander scoffed. "What a stupid name for a demon. He couldn't have been a little more original? Like…Okay I can't think of any right now. But I know that one is stupid."
Willow rolled her eyes and continued reading. "An invincible demon that is impossible to be stopped. Its main goal is to kill humans in order to keep it's energy. However, it only comes out when it's energy is low and usually picks specific targets by smell."
"Well isn't this great. A cologne-smelling demon that can't be stopped."
Buffy ignored Xander's comment. "There has to be a way to kill it."
"Well it says here that only the Chosen Three can defeat it. There's a summoning spell here."
"G-Great. Then we can summon the Three and bam, water problem solved." Tara said, walking over to read the summoning spell.
"But there's a catch. It says here they need to be trained."
"Trained? How are we supposed to train them?" Buffy asked.
"I don't know yet. But it's our best bet; we can't beat Waterite without them." Willow replied.
Buffy nodded her head. "Tara do the summoning spell."
"Wait! What if the Chosen Three are bunnies!?" Anya called out frantically.
Buffy waved her hand to signal for Tara to ignore Anya and to set up the candles. Tara began the chant. She said two lines in a language no one understood before ending with the English part. "Come to us. Let the red, brown, and white unite."
The room shook violently but stopped suddenly. They all heard a popping noise and turned to see a blonde.
"What the hell am I doing here?"
"A teenager? The Chosen Three is a teenager? Figures. Look we need your help to defeat Waterite." Buffy cut to the chase.
"Water what?"
Buffy's look of surprise matched Peyton's. "So, not only do we have to train her, but we have to explain the world of demons and evil-ness to her?" Buffy asked rhetorically. She walked over to Peyton.
"I'm Buffy. And these are my friends."
"Peyton." Peyton said her name but was still feeling uneasy.
"I know this is going to be a lot to take in but…" Buffy told her bits and pieces of their lives. Vampire slayer, witch, ex-vengeance demons, Waterite. All of the important stuff she needed to know.
"So, I'm a Chosen One?" Peyton asked, still wide-eyed.
"Actually, you're part of the Chosen Three. I think we need to repeat the spell two more times in order to get the other two." Tara replied quietly.
TREE HILL (Brooke's car)
"All I managed to get done today was argue with my girlfriend and have my best friend walk out on me. I so should have just gone shopping." Brooke ranted to the bobble-head dog on her dashboard.
Pop.
Brooke's car, without it's driver, cruised into the nearest telephone pole.
SUNNYDALE (MAGIC BOX)
"Whoa. Head rush." Brooke put her hand to her forehead before looking around. "Peyton? What's going on?"
"Well…" Peyton began.
"You know her?" Xander interrupted.
"Yeah. Best friends actually."
"Let's just summon the last person before I have to tell the story a million times." Buffy impatiently interjected.
"Okay." Tara replied as she said the spell one final time.
The room shook as it had before, and suddenly another popping noise. There was Rachel donning nothing but short shorts and a sports bra. Apparently she had been running, and everyone noticed that the girl could pull off the sweaty look.
"Well I guess I understand the red, brown, and white part now." Xander announced. "You know. Redhead, brunette, blonde? Hair color." Xander clarified after getting blank looks.
Suddenly there was an outburst from Brooke. "Oh, of course! This makes perfect sense. This is all your fault!" Brooke shouted while pointing a finger at Rachel.
"My fault? I don't even know what the hell is going on!"
Buffy tried calming the two down. "Well I do so if you could just-"
Brooke didn't even hear her. "Every time something freaky happens to me you are always the cause of it."
Rachel smirked. "You know I'm always around when something freaky is going on." She slipped two fingers into Brooke's jean belt loops and pulled her closer so there was no space in between their bodies. Brooke's smirk quickly matched Rachel's as Rachel leaned in beginning a searing kiss.
Willow's mouth dropped open. "Whoa." Tara slapped Willow on the arm but Willow's gaze didn't falter.
Finally Buffy cleared her throat but Rachel and Brooke showed no signs of stopping.
"Oh yeah. That's Rachel, Brooke's girlfriend. They do that a lot; you'll get used to it."
"They were fighting two seconds ago. What's up with that?" Dawn finally asked after debating on whether or not she should talk to these new people.
"Ever heard that song 'I'm in Love With a Girl' by Gavin DeGraw?" Peyton asked.
Most of the scoobies nodded their heads.
"Well the line 'wants to make love when I wanna fight' pretty much defines their relationship."
"Fascinating." Willow replied while still watching the couple.
"How do we get them to stop?" Buffy asked.
"That's easy. Hey Brooke! Two for one sale over there!" Peyton said as she pointed to a random bookcase.
"Where?" Brooke shouted, practically shoving Rachel out of the way.
"Just kidding."
Brooke looked genuinely hurt as she glared at her best friend. "You're mean."
"So anyway…"
One lengthy explanation later…
Brooke ran a hand through her hair. "Alright so let's get this son of a bitch so I can get out of here."
The Scooby gang all gave each other secretive looks.
"Okay, what am I missing?" Brooke more demanded than asked.
"The thing is…"
"…we need to train you…"
"…and it could take months…"
"…so you'd have to move in…with us." Buffy ended after her and Willow had been finishing each other's sentences.
"Alright, whatever." Peyton replied.
"Peyton! What about-" Brooke called out in protest.
Rachel cut her off. "I'm in too. What do you say, Brooke? We could use a little action."
Brooke began mumbling incoherently to herself. "I cannot believe those two! How could they agree to leave Tree Hill so quickly? I mean I have…well I guess I have no family that cares about me there…and my best friend and girlfriend are staying here…" Brooke ended her rant and looked up to see everyone staring at her.
"Does Sunnydale High have a cheering team?"
"One of the best." Buffy replied.
"I'm in."
