Xander rolled his eyes objecting this is Halloween damn it. He should be able to dress up in the costume he wants and go trick or treating as a soldier this way it will only cost him two dollars. Instead Snyder bane of fun has decided to turn Halloween into career day as he enters the door with an order form and a smile comes to his face seeing Cordelia.

Cordelia looks at Xander, Buffy, and Willow. She got forced into helping by Snyder so she can't even go to Partytown for an outfit to wear. "So what did you guys get?"

Xander held up his. "Lawyer and dad thinks I'll never make anything of myself."

Buffy smiled holding up hers. "Chef"

Willow smiled and held up hers. "Social Worker, so what you get?"

Cordelia looked at it and held up her card. "Advice columnist"

"And somewhere out there someone looking for advice is crying." Xander quipped as they went up to Ethan and gave him the receipt. Ethan smiled seeing these people show up as he gave them normal clothes. While he's a fan of chaos he also believes good people are needed to fight as chaos uninterrupted is boring. So he's glad the slayer and her people are going to be normal tonight unlike the kids.

Willow held her head as the spell took effect the first one to change over and sees a mini demon of all things choking a woman as she goes to break it up. "Hey, let go."

All the demons turn to the soul now living in Willow as she looks around ten demons nothing to defend herself with. "Uh uh" The demons rush her but Willow's body disappears in a trial of blue lights.

Buffy looked around and quickly realized the madness and all these mini demons are real. Buffy sighed in frustration and put her hands up as everything froze around her. "Leo!"

Buffy waited as a trail of blue lights came down next to her and she just smiled seeing a brown haired man show up in plaid.

Leo Wyatt emerged from the trail of orbs and walked right into a deep passionate kiss from a blond teenager. Leo tried to break free but the girl has one hell of a grip. He orbs out of the kiss and a little bit behind her. "Lady are you out of your mind!"

Buffy looked at him hurt for a moment until rage took over and she quickly put her hands up and Leo exploded into a trail of orbs and reformed in shock as Buffy shouted. "You do not call me lady; I am your wife Leo Wyatt!"

Leo looked at her as it sunk in. Only one person can get that angry at him. "Piper?"

"Damn right Piper who else has the power to blow you up?" Piper Halliwell asked.

Leo took a moment to calm down seeing his wife's glare on this teenage girl. "Piper, look in a mirror."

Piper looked in the mirror and saw the blond hair along with an outfit she got rid of about a month ago to good will. "Oh no, this can't be good." Piper looked to Leo confused. "Thanks for coming even when I'm not in my own body."

"Always" Leo assured her as she kissed him.

A second trail of orbs came down revealing Willow who just watched as Leo sucked face with a girl likely no older then sixteen. Willow looked to the ground angrily and just said. "Rock!"

A rock on the ground disappeared in a trail of orbs and smacked Leo in the head as the whitelighter fell to the floor taking Piper with him.

"I guess we found Paige." Piper quipped getting to her feet.

Leo held his head pulling himself to his feet wobbly. "Paige! I'd appreciate it if you don't use your powers on me. I might be dead, but it still hurts!"

Paige looked at him. "Then you shouldn't have sucked face with a teenager! What are you, some kind of creepy angelic sex offender?"

Piper rolled her eyes. "Paige, I'm thankful you're defending my honor. But it's me inside here."

Paige looked at Buffy curiously. "Piper!" Paige started cracking up laughing looking at her big sister as a petite blond.

Piper glared at her before grabbing her sister and taking her to a car so she could see her reflection.

Paige frowned seeing she's also in the body of a sixteen year old. "Well, at least I'm still a redhead."

Piper however saw the problem. "So if we're here in sixteen year old bodies, then that means Phoebe must be in one too. We have to find her maybe with the power of three we can end this demon's night."

Phoebe Halliwell looked around and just like the premonition she had before she and her sisters passed out in the attic. Phoebe saw a dog faced demon rush her and the middle sister quickly jumped in the air with levitation quickly climbing a tree and hung on to the top branch as the dog demon jumped and kept trying to attack her as Phoebe sees a demon shimmer in that looks like a teenage boy and wave his hand which knocked the demon into the tree unconscious as Phoebe floated down.

Phoebe looked at him. "I don't know who you are but thanks for the assist."

Xander looked at her. "I know you're trying to vanquish me every other week but can't you at least acknowledge my name, I mean we were married once not that long ago."

Phoebe turned to him and touched his hand getting a premonition of who he is, even with something like this. Night of the demons, not even in their own bodies, and she can't avoid her ex. "Cole... I don't even want to know why you look like that but we were married. Keyword… were. Just because you found a way around death doesn't mean anything, death did us part… the end."

Cole kept walking with her. "Why are you so mad at me for finding a way back?"

"Because I told you to move on." Phoebe replied. "You didn't you hopped yourself up to stay evil."

Cole looked at her. "I was going to the bad place, and it wasn't by choice. I became Balthazar because my mother kidnapped me when I was a child. Right after she brutally murdered my father. What chance did a half human child have in the Underworld? I had to shake my innocence twice as fast as any demon child and be twice as cruel just to survive."

Phoebe stopped and just collected herself. She can't, not again. "I am sorry you had a tough life, I am, but it is not my concern anymore."

Cole rolled his eyes seeing three sets of orbs why is he not surprised. Just looking into Willow and Buffy's eyes he knows who they are. "Paige, Piper… OK why does Leo get to keep his body?"

Paige rolled her eyes recognizing the smug attitude. "Nice to see you too Cole"

Leo tried to sense the magic that caused this change in the sisters but just came up with a chalk like taste. "Something weird is going on here it's like we're in the underworld."

Cole nodded. "Close enough we're on the hell mouth."

Piper looked at him. "What's a hellmouth?"

"A mouth over a portal to hell it's close to the school library." Cole replied. "I actually stayed here when Phoebe first faked my death but the bounty hunters started showing up."

Paige rolled her eyes great another night with the book of shadows lucky her. "Is that why there are so many demons tonight?"

Cole shakes his head. "No, I think this is the chaos spell I can sense it."

Piper looked at him curiously. "So you sense things here, like what?"

Cole pointed at the oldest. "You're in a body that's not exactly human." He points to Paige. "Paige is in a body so powerful that she might very well be able to orb the whole city if she wanted to, and I'm pretty sure my body was turned into a Hyena at some point. Chaos trail leads this way shall we."

Ethan smiled hearing the doorbell open he was wondering how long it would take for Rupert to show up. Ethan came out and went into horror, normal people my ass these are the charmed ones and the Source.

"So how do we break the spell?" Leo asked.

Piper looked around and sees it. "Considering that statue of Janus bust on the altar I'd say we just break that. Paige would you do the honors?"

"I'd love to." Paige replied. "Statue" The statue of Janus disappeared in a trail of orbs and broke over Ethan's head behind him.

The four scoobies stood as they regained their own lives.

Buffy looked to a shelf of supplies and stuck her hands out as the shelves blew up. "Hey I still have my powers. This is going to make patrolling so much easier."

Willow though on it and got an idea as she disappeared in a trail of orbs. Two minutes later she came back laughing. "Oh you should have seen Giles' face when he fell out of the chair, it was hilarious."

Cordy jumped in the air and levitated. "Cool, but won't demons try to kill us now for our powers?"

"And that's different from every other week how?" Buffy asked and Cordy shrugged seeing her point.

Buffy turned to Xander. "How about you did you keep your powers?"

Xander walked outside accompanied by the others and waved his arm and summoned a black Dodge charger R/T. Xander quietly smiled seeing his new car. "I kept my powers."

Buffy watches a demon shimmer in and instantly blew it up. "Well that didn't take long."

The ash reforms into a man with brown hair and green eyes and Buffy stopped recognizing the demon.

The actual Cole Turner dusted himself off and looked at Buffy. "What was that for?"

"You shimmered in." Buffy replied. "Cole, what are you doing here?"

Cole looked at them and just decided honesty was best considering they all work with a vampire if Buffy's scent is anything to go by. "Me and the sisters had a vanquish with Barbas last week, made it crystal clear that the only future I'd have in San Francisco would be death. So I was wondering if you guys could use my help.

Buffy nodded before thinking it over. She knows Cole is alone in San Francisco since the Charmed Ones turned their back on him. She'll gladly take his help it will be like a really powerful Angel. Besides someone has to show Xander how to use all those powers without losing his mind. "Welcome to the team."

Cole smiled thankful for a chance to do some good and thanks to those hellmouth repressionon spells there won't be any press so the sisters can't think he's in it for himself. "I'll try not to let you down."

One Month Later

Phoebe was hard at work at the Bay Mirror after finding out from Piper that she and Paige died two nights ago and are only alive today because Piper went back in time to set things straight. She realized she did all that for a guy she barely knows and to top it off she actually kind of misses... no not that line of thought.

"What cha doin?"

Phoebe's eyes shot up in horror recognizing that voice. She turned around and saw Cordelia Chase. "What are you doing here?"

"Dad had business here. Told Elise I was your cousin." Cordy replied.

Phoebe nodded and asked. "So how are you guys doing?"

Cordy shrugged and took a seat. "Not much to complain about. Our lives have gotten a lot easier. Cole is staying in Sunnydale he's helping us with demons."

Phoebe smiled it's obvious he's not doing it to impress her anymore. "Good for him so how's it going down there?"

"Good, really good actually Cole is teaching Xander how to control his powers as well as took him away from his parents without vanquishing them, so that's progress. Buffy is mastering Piper's powers and Willow is already mastering Paige's including the ability to heal on Angel no less after her got nearly tortured to death by his crazy vampire daughter." Cordy supplied.

Phoebe nodded getting the highlights from Leo. The Elders pulled some strings to have a back up power of three in case of another dark wedding. Phoebe looked at Cordy with a knowing smile considering how happy she made it that Xander got away from his apparently abusive parents. "So you and Xander huh?"

Cordelia blushed a bit. "Wha… I… did you get a premonition… because we never told anyone!"

Phoebe put a hand up. "Your secret is safe with me. Date, enjoy. He seemed like a sweetie."

Cordy put a hand up. "I wouldn't call it dating we're just kissing and groping in the broom closet. We're not exactly in the same social circle."

Phoebe looked at her and remembered this point in her life. Despite how much she wanted not to. "OK between me and you I was a completely different person in high school."

Cordy looked at her, she was her. "I remember Freebie." Cordy looked and saw an ice cold glare coming from the columnist. "I'll be good."

Phoebe smiled and rested back against her chair. "The point is high school gangs die out. Make good friends now and get that boy to treat you better. Either have him take you to a restaurant or conjure up a romantic dinner. Don't be afraid to make the first move that's how Piper and Leo started and how me and Cole started... well physically anyway."

Cordy smiled hearing Phoebe give her advice she's right her mom was a popular girl and now her best friends are her employees that just want their paycheck. "Guess I'm one of the many that should thank Phoebe."

"You're welcome." Phoebe replied.

Cordy looked at her. "And on the subject of our demonic boy toys" She pointed to her head, "You know I have your whole mind up here right? So I know you still love Cole."

Phoebe put her pen down and glared at her. "I don't anymore I just want to be free of him."

"Why?" Cordy asked.

Phoebe glared at her. "Oh, I don't know, how about he turned me evil!"

Cordy glared at her right back. "Oh no, no, you two destroyed each other and you know it."

"He let the Seer poison me." Phoebe pointed out.

Cordy looked at her not impressed. "He had the source of all friggin evil in his head and the Seer in his ear and he still managed to break free and try to free himself until a certain witch, we'll call her Freebie, incinerated the Wizard. You're trying to turn him into the bad guy when your hands were just as bloody sister."

"Get out!" Phoebe ordered.

Cordy got to her feet knowing when she's not wanted. "Fine, but keep in mind you can't lie to me. I know you Phoebe so clear out your head accept what you did, and figure out why you did. And my advice do it fast because Joyce has been giving some hungry eyes to Xander's 'uncle' Cole." She took Phoebe by the hand and gave her a premonition of the time she and Cole had together before the Seer destroyed their lives. "Just think about what you're about to lose."

Cordy left Phoebe to think she's doing a good thing but she's not Mother Theresa she's only going to be in San Fran until Sunday.

Phoebe got back to work for fifteen minutes before she got so frustrated she had to call Sunnydale. "Hey Willow right? Its Phoebe Halliwell is Cole there?" She doesn't know if they'll be together again but even if it's just to end it once and for all she does need to talk to him.
