Buffy: Enchantress and Slayer

A Enchanted Parody Fanfiction Story with Crossover Characters

Chapter 10: Not Looking For Phoenixes

Ten minutes later...

There's footsteps.

The dire animals and spiders are all scurrying away in a hurry.

Buffy gulps very nervously. She knows too well what that means.

Buffy says, "well...goodbye. I'll miss you."

She waves goodbye to the dire animals and spiders.

Buffy fast walks over to the rock refrigerator to see if there is anything sweet left.

All that's left is dire animal hairs lying around and a untouched chocolate covered candy apple.

The candy apple is giving off faint hints of greenish vapor.

Buffy takes it out by the white stick.

She takes the candy apple over with her to the bed.

She sits down.

She's about to take a bite into the candy apple...when she sees Queen Narissa storming towards her.

Buffy jumps a little in startlement.

She accidentally drops the candy apple at the foot of the bed.

Queen Narissa mutters lowly, "what...the hell...happened to my cave?!"

Buffy very nervously looks at her.

Buffy says, "I know now you sent me to the Marvel Universe to try to get rid of me. Didn't think I know that, did you?"

She's trying to still smile.

Buffy remarks, "you also should get better spells: These spells look like they were made in kindergarten."

She's holding the doodled in spellbook up with the pages open.

But... Queen Narissa just darkly smiles.

She moderately sighs.

She comments, "no, little enchantress slayer. My spells are wonderful: With or without the original book."

Queen Narissa pulls out her original spellbook from behind her.

Buffy drops the copy spellbook in her hand.

She looks fairly stunned.

Buffy starts babbling nervously.

She sits down on the bed, looking down.

She greatly sighs in frustration.

Queen Narissa sits next to her.

The poison candy apple on the ground is slowly eating through rock and the bed in bubbling acid and smoke. But, neither of them notice.

After a bit... Buffy gives her a hard look.

She can't help but ask, "then why are you doing that?"

All too casually... Queen Narissa wonders, "doing what?"

Buffy raises her hand out in her direction.

She goes, "exactly that! Just sitting there, trying to intimidate me."

Queen Narissa laughs.

Interestingly... She says, "well, pushing you sure as hell didn't do anything. Maybe I should have just talked."

Buffy tensely glares.

She questions, "what do you want? None of this vampire queen ****. Just tell me!"

Queen Narissa darkly figures, "all right. I want you to walk away from Angel."

Buffy shoots back, "no way in hell."

She starts to storm out of the cave.

But... Queen Narissa calls back, "you think his soul will last for long? You think you can have my throne, call for love across the Valleys of Nightmares, and make it happen? We're vampires: It's in our nature to turn on our human lovers and suck on their blood! Humans aren't much different. We live in harsh worlds, Buffy Summers. But, you never seem to want to accept reality: That you're only hurting yourself and him by looking for heaven together!"

Buffy stops at the foot of the long stairs.

She sniffles hard.

Some tears fall from her face.

She mutters, "I don't know if his soul will last long. But, I don't care!"

She sniffles hard.

Tears keep falling down her face.

Buffy somberly says, "trying counts for a lot, and I'm willing to care for him in kind!"

Queen Narissa sharply points out, "you sound like you do care. Too much. Just walk away. It's better th..."

Buffy keeps fast walking up the stairs.

She furiously calls out, "shut up! All that magical spying, and you still don't know me. Next time we meet, it'll be your big crayon crown I'll crush down!"

And, with that... She storms off up the stairs.

Queen Narissa puts a hand over her head.

She heavily sighs.

She mutters to herself, "now for a unholy bath."

She then notices the water vapor over it doesn't feel cold.

Queen Narissa looks furious.

She cries out to the stalagmites, "Buffy Summers! ! !"

Meanwhile...

Everything has gone from animation to live action.

Steve is back in the underground meeting room with Wolverine and Phoenix Jean Grey.

But, for the first time in who knows how long... Phoenix Jean Grey is acting calm.

She hasn't been lighting the walls on fires, causing earthquakes, shouting at Wolverine... Nothing.

Even Wolverine shows a bit of nervousness.

Steve looks awkwardly nervous.

He breaks through the silence, "well...it seems there's no reason not to get along with each other as best as we can. I just got to know why that is."

Phoenix Jean Grey chuckles.

She explains, "because I feel forgiveness. So much forgiveness in her, and yet so much darkness she's seen...that I couldn't help but telepathically come across it in her."

Some burning up tears fall from her face.

Steve asks, "who? Who is she?"

Phoenix Jean Grey moderately sighs.

And... She answers, "Buffy Summers. Hard sniffle. She..."

Steve heavily sighs into his hands.

Wolverine glares warningly at Phoenix Jean Grey.

He even has some adamantium claws out as he does.

He points out, "kid is taking it hard as it is without you going off and spilling out more of her guts."

Phoenix Jean Grey deeply sighs.

She murmurs, "I'm sorry Steve Rodgers. It isn't fair. But..."

She sniffles hard.

Phoenix Jean Grey concludes, "you asked. I answered as well as I could."

Some more burning up tears fell from her face.

Steve looks up.

He's teary eyed. But, he tries to put up a brave face.

Steve insists, "no. It's okay."

Phoenix Jean Grey gives him a somber look.

Steve harshly murmurs under his breath, "as okay as you can get when you're a walking phoenix force...which isn't saying much."

Phoenix Jean Grey starts to say, "Steve..."

Steve is quick to say, "don't wait up for me. Far as I'm concerned, these sessions are over."

He gets up.

He storms out of the room.

He leaves the door open behind him.

In mixed feelings... Phoenix Jean Grey mutters, "no. It isn't okay!"

She sniffles hard.

She's looking down.

Some more burning up tears.

She suddenly looks up.

She turns to Wolverine.

She nervously asks, "what else could I say to him? Buffy and you should dance and embrace your love already?"

Wolverine faintly laughs.

After a bit... He adds, "don't think so. You're right on that one there."

He faintly laughs.

He lightly comments, "yeah. Good luck to him."

Phoenix Jean Grey very faintly laughs.

And, for the first time in months... She very faintly smiles to him.
