Author's Notes: Can anyone guess what Buffy's first power was. Hint it is not the Fire power and she has had it since Chapter 1.

Chapter 8: The Fifth Sister

In Aviva's room at her aunt's house. Aviva puts a small statue on the rug in front of her. She is also in front of the mirror. Aviva is dressed in black and has black candles lit around her. All but one. She lights it. She then gets into meditating position. "Come to me Kali. I conjure thee Kali. Come to me Kali. I conjure thee Kali."

In the mirror, Kali appears. "I'm here Aviva."

Aviva nods, "It's been over a week."

Kali smiles, "I know. Be patient Aviva."

Aviva nods, "But I've done everything that you've asked. I've followed the Halliwell sisters and their cousin. I know their every move."

Kali smiles, "Which will all become valuable in good time. You must trust me. You must make them want you as badly as you want them."

Aviva looks at the closet. "I talked to my mom today."

Kali nods, "How is she?"

Aviva sighs, "I don't know. She's better...I think. I miss her."

Kali smiles, "She's gonna be so proud of you."

Aviva nods, "Yeah? I hope so."

Kali smiles, "Are you ready to receive your power?"

Aviva giggling a little, "You know I am."

Kali nods, "Remember, it's a sacred power. If I give it to you, you must use it only as I say."

Aviva nods, "I will. I promise."

Kali smiles, "Very well. Reach for the mirror. Put out your hands. Feel the power." Aviva reaches her hands towards the mirror. Aviva's hands begin to glow. She receives the power. Her hands stop glowing and she puts them down. "You know what to do. Go to Buffy, Phoebe, Piper, and Prue."

Aviva grabs her coat and leaves.

In the living room of the manor. Piper is sitting in the chair holding reward flyers for Kit. Leo walks in. He moves the fireplace screen from the fireplace and looks in the fireplace and sticks a tool up at it.

Leo nods, "Uh... well I think I see... yep. There's definitely something here."

Piper smiles, "Definitely."

Buffy and Phoebe enters the living room.

Phoebe has a mug of coffee and makes her way around the sofa while saying, "Oh my. Santa, you've changed."

Buffy rolls her eyes.

Piper nods, "He's looking for Kit."

Phoebe nods, "The cat. Right. Four legs and fur. I remember." Mouthing to Piper. "Oh my god!"

Buffy shakes her head and nudges Phoebe and mouths, "Can you be any more obvious?"

Leo gets up from the fireplace. "Sorry. You know, have you tried the shelter?"

Piper nods, "Yeah. Nothing."

Leo nods, "Well, she had her collar on right? With your number on it and everything?"

Buffy nods, "A very distinctive collar actually."

Piper nods, "Anyway..." She stands up. "Uh, thanks for looking. I'm sure you must be hungry after all that work."

Leo shakes his head, "All what work?"

Phoebe laughs a little and puts her arm around Piper. "Oh, that's just Piper. She's gotta be everyone's mom. Think of her as your mom. I know I do."

Buffy rolls her eyes.

They all laugh a little.

Piper smiles, "Isn't she a scream?"

Leo nods, "Well thanks, um...let me go put up these flyers first and I'll be right back, OK?" He bumps into the fireplace screen.

Buffy shakes her head, "Oh careful."

Leo nods, "Oh."

Piper smiles, "You all right?"

Leo nods, "Yeah. Yeah. I'll just..." He puts the fireplace screen back.

Piper nods, "Antique."

Phoebe nods, "Grandma's."

Buffy blinks, "Grams?"

Piper nods, "Yeah."

Buffy, Phoebe and Piper watch Leo leave.

Phoebe smiles, "Oh. Quite possibly the finest glutes in the city."

Piper nods, "In the state."

Buffy rolls her eyes, "Well I will admit he is attractive looking. You two are acting my age you know that?"

Phoebe smiles, "In all the land."

Piper nods, "I saw him first."

Phoebe shakes her head, "Uh-uh."

Piper nods, "Uh-huh."

Phoebe nods, "Oh."

Buffy sighs, "Or younger."

A bit later in kitchen. Piper takes a cinnamon roll out of the microwave and puts it on a plate. She then pours a glass of milk.

Buffy walks in, "Oh cinnamon roll and milk. How did you know that's what I wanted?" She reaches for the cinnamon roll.

Piper swats Buffy's hand away, "This is not for you." She takes the plate and glass out of the kitchen.

Buffy follows behind her as they come out of the kitchen with the cinnamon and milk.

Piper goes to Leo. "Here you go Leo. Non-fat milk right?"

Buffy rolls her eyes as if to say 'why am I not surprised.'

Piper gives Leo the glass of milk and cinnamon roll.

Leo smiles, "Right. Thanks."

Piper nods, "Just don't call me mom."

Phoebe and Prue come down the stairs.

Phoebe nods, "Trust me. One hot night is all you guys need to get back on track."

They walk to the foyer.

Prue sighs, "Yeah. I hope you're right."

Phoebe nods, "Andy's a cop. You're a witch."

Buffy coughs, "Ahem."

Phoebe nods, "Except complications."

Prue smiles, "Hey, Leo. How's it going?"

Leo smiles, "Good. Uh, this wall only needs two coats and then I gotta do the moulding and then I'm done in here. Buffy's room was next wasn't it?"

Phoebe smiles, "Ah, are you sure it doesn't need 3 coats?"

Leo frowns, "Uh..."

Buffy nods, "Yeah my room was next."

Piper smiles, "Nice outfit... for 9 o'clock in the morning with no place to go."

Phoebe nods, "Hmm. I'm glad you like it." Leo drinks some milk. "Oh. Leo. Come here." She wipes the milk moustache off her face. "Got milk?"

Buffy rolls her eyes.

Prue smiles, "Uh...Phoebe, come here." Phoebe doesn't. "Phoebe!" She grabs Phoebe's arm and heads towards the kitchen. Buffy and Prue follow.

Prue nods, "I think that Piper likes Leo." She goes and gets a mug and begins making coffee.

Buffy nods, "She does."

Phoebe smiles, "What's not to like? He's a great guy."

Prue shakes her head, "No. I mean... really likes him."

Phoebe sighs, "Your point being?"

Buffy rolls her eyes.

Prue sighs, "Never mind." She looks at Buffy, "Classic Phoebe."

Buffy nods, "So I've noticed."

Phoebe frowns, "Wait. Define that."

Prue nods, "I think you know.

Phoebe sighs, "Okay. Look Prue, I think we need to put some major closer on this or we're gonna be in rocking chairs slurping oatmeal out of rubber spoons and I'm still gonna hear about Roger." Piper enters to get coffee. "Piper, am I a boyfriend thief?"

Piper nods, "Totally."

Phoebe shakes her head, "Besides Roger, whom again Prue, I never touched."

Piper nods, "My boyfriend. Billy Wilson."

Buffy shakes her head, "Dang Phoebe."

Phoebe laughs a little. "Billy Wil... Eight grade Billy Wilson?"

Piper nods, "You kissed him at homecoming."

Phoebe shakes her head, "No I did not kiss him at homecoming. I was helping him find a contact lens."

Piper frowns, "Oh please. You were all over him with your breasts all...whatever."

Phoebe shakes her head, "I didn't even have breasts back then."

Piper shakes her head, "Phoebe, you've always had breasts."

Buffy laughs, "Dang guys this is better than watching TV."

Prue nods, "So, I think I'll just let you two work this out on your own. But, um, just remember, I get the house tonight. Just Andy and me. No warlocks, no innocents to protect and especially, no sisters and no cousin." She leaves.

Piper nods, "So you know... it's not like either one of us has a problem finding guys."

Phoebe snorts, "Please."

Piper nods, "So if one of us... got Leo... it'd be OK with the other one."

Phoebe nods, "Absolutely."

Piper smiles, "So we can just consider this a friendly competition."

Phoebe nods, "Sibling rivalry."

Piper nods, "War."

Phoebe: Exactly.

Buffy shakes her head, "Really guys. All this over a guy."

In Aviva's room at her aunt's house. Aviva is lying on her bed writing in her diary while listening to music. "Dear Diary..."

Aunt Jackie knocks on the door. "Aviva, open the door."

Aviva sighs, "Life sucks here."

Aunt Jackie calls through the door, "I'm gonna be late for work."

Aunt Jackie opens the door.

Aviva puts her diary under her bed and sits up. "So that part about this being my room, that was a lie?"

Aunt Jackie frowns, "It's my apartment Aviva."

Aviva shakes her head, "So you keep reminding me Aunt Jackie."

Aunt Jackie nods, "Why don't you get some light and air in here?" She goes to open the curtain.

Aviva stands up. "Because I like it dark and stale."

Aunt Jackie stops and turns around. "Why are you so antagonistic to me?"

Aviva frowns, "How come you haven't called my mom yet?"

Aunt Jackie frowns, "What?"

Aviva nods, "To see how she's doing, or just to say "hello"? It would help her you know. I mean, it's not like she's got a lot of family."

Aunt Jackie shakes her head, "She has to take responsibility for her own actions."

Aviva sighs, "She's not in jail. She's in rehab. She didn't do anything wrong to take responsibility for. She's sick and that's it. It's nothing to be ashamed of."

Aunt Jackie frowns, "Whatever." She leaves.

Aviva slams the door close. As soon as she hears Aunt Jackie leave she moves front of her mirror. "I conjure thee Kali."

In the mirror, Kali appears. "I'm here Aviva."

Aviva sighs, "I'm going crazy here Kali. I can't wait any longer."

Kali nods, "The Halliwells' don't understand our way. They don't know the full uses and joys of their powers."

Aviva nods, "I'll show them."

Kali smiles, "You must gain their trust first. You must let them welcome you into their coven."

Aviva nods, "I won't disappoint you. I swear."

Kali nods, "Then it's time." The closet door opens. Aviva goes to it and gets Kit. "Take the cat back to the Halliwells."

At the manor Piper looks into the foyer from the dining room and sees Leo sanding down something. She pretty herself up and then goes over to Leo. "About done for the day?"

Leo nods, "Just about. Now Buffy isn't going to be able to sleep in her room tonight."

Piper nods, "Yeah we know. Uh...well, Prue's got a date so we kinda gotta clear out. I was thinking about catching a movie. Wanna go?"

Leo shakes his head, "I can't do it." He goes to another corner of the room.

Piper nods, "OK."

Buffy enters through the front door, "Hey Piper… Leo."

Leo smiles, "Hey Buffy."

Piper nods, "How was school?"

Buffy smiles, "It was good."

Leo nods, "You know...these are original to the house. I mean, they really should be sanded down, finished off with steal wool, and... and restrained. Not covered in paint."

Piper nods, "Oh, right. Sort of like risotto with minute rice." Leo chuckles a little. "It's a cooking analogy."

Buffy rolls her eyes, "Those from my room?"

Leo nods, "Yeah. Anyway uh...I have some stain samples at home if you're interested. I can bring them by tomorrow and show them to you, your sisters, and Buffy.

Piper nods, "Or better yet, why don't you just bring them by the restaurant? Say about lunchtime? Prue's so busy and Phoebe doesn't really care it is Buffy's room after all. Phoebe's more into stucco. It's really up to you Buffy."

Buffy nods, "Sure why not."

Leo nods, "OK."

Piper smiles, OK."

Leo nods, "So what time's that movie?"

Buffy smiles, "You going to a movie, Piper?"

The doorbell rings.

Phoebe comes out of the living room, "I got it." She opens the door. Aviva is standing there with Kit. "Kit! Oh my god. Where did you find her? We were worried sick." She takes Kit.

Aviva smiles, "I was just walking by and I um, saw one of your flyers and poof. There she was. Like magic."

Phoebe laughs nervously. "Wow." She closes the door. "I can't even believe she let you hold her."

Buffy walks next to Phoebe, "Yeah Kit hates just about everyone."

Phoebe, Buffy and Aviva go in the living room.

Piper enters. "Oh. Welcome home Kitty!" Phoebe laughs a little as she hands Piper Kit. Leo enters, "Oh. You must be starving." She sits down in the armchair.

Aviva sits down on the couch. "I fed her."

Buffy sits down next to Aviva. "I thought you said you just found her."

Aviva nods, "I did. Oh, um, a couple of hours ago. I mean."

Piper shakes her head, "And she didn't try to scratch you?"

Aviva nods, "Mm-mmm."

Leo smiles, "You know, I'll take the flyers down tomorrow. Let me uh, clean up before the movie."

Phoebe smiles, "Movie? What movie?"

Piper nods, "A war movie."

Phoebe nods, "I love war movies. Mind if I tag along?"

Buffy rolls her eyes, "Might as well make it a family outing. Either that or leave a sixteen year old girl to roam the streets for a couple hours so Prue can have her date."

Leo nods, "Uh sure. Why not? I'll be right back." He leaves.

Aviva frowns, "You guys aren't going out are you? I mean, you just got your cat back."

Piper nods, "Oh she'll be fine. Let me get my purse." She puts Kit down and goes towards the table. "Uh, what's your name?"

Aviva shakes her head, "Oh. No. No. I don't want your money."

Prue and Andy enter from the parlor.

"Hey Andy!" Piper, Phoebe and Buffy say at the same time.

Andy smiles, "Hey!"

Prue frowns, "Hey. I thought we all had plans tonight?"

Buffy sighs, "We're just waiting on Leo then were going out to see a movie."

Phoebe smiles, "This girl just found our cat for us."

Aviva nods, "Aviva."

Prue nods, "Well that's great. Um, is fifty bucks enough?"

Aviva shakes her head, "Uh, I don't... I don't want a reward." She stands up. "We need to talk."

Prue frowns, "About what?"

Aviva nods, "About wicca."

Prue shakes her head, "Uh..." Leo enters. "Andy Trudeau, this is Leo Wyatt. You guys chat. We'll be right back."

Phoebe nods, "OK. Buffy, Piper and Phoebe get up and lead Aviva away.

Andy smiles, "Hey." Andy and Leo shake hands.

Piper nods, "Thanks again."

They push Aviva away.

Phoebe nods, "Yeah. I'm sorry you can't stay."

Aviva smiles, "I'm...not leaving. Don't you understand? I'm one of you."

Buffy growls.

Aviva points at the popcorn Andy has and it began to rise.

Piper frowns, "No." She stops time.

Aviva doesn't freeze. "Very cool." She walks around Leo and Andy.

Buffy frowns, "Uh Piper why didn't she freeze?"

Aviva walks back to them. "That's because I'm a witch too."

Prue frowns, "A what?"

Aviva smiles, "Look, I just want to be friends."

Piper shakes her head, "Uh, guys, we have about 20 seconds until they unfreeze."

Phoebe nods, "How did you find out about us?"

Aviva smiles, "I'm gonna need more than 20 seconds for that."

Buffy frowns, "We really need to move things along here. Before Andy and Leo unfreeze."

Prue nods, "OK. You need to leave here now."

Aviva shakes her head, "What? A...why?"

Prue nods, "Because we don't know who the hell you really are, so just leave. OK? Go. Go. Go." She pushes Aviva.

Aviva frowns, "No. I'm not leaving. I just saved your cat."

Prue frowns, "Leave now or else."

Aviva frowns, "Or else what." She looks at the tape Prue has and it burns. Prue drops it.

Buffy growls, "She warned you, out before you have to deal with the Slayer."

Aviva frowns as she looks at Buffy. She then turns and leaves. Time unfreezes. The popcorn bursts open and popcorn is thrown all over the place.

Andy frowns, "What the hell?" He and Leo clean the popcorn off themselves.

Leo smiles, "Hey, where did that girl go?"

Buffy smiles, "Uh. She just..."

Prue uses her power to make the front door slam. "Uh! Uh. Left."

In Aviva's room, she's talking to Kali. "You said if I brought them back their cat..."

Kali nods, "Was it the oldest? Was it Prue that sent you away?"

Aviva nods, "Yes. But there was this other girl about my age also. She said something about dealing with the Slayer if I didn't leave."

Kali frowns at hearing about the Slayer. "Avoid them. They are the strongest. You must separate them. Together the sisters are Charmed. Impenetrable. The Slayer is a tough adversary, if she is a witch also she will be extremely formidable."

Aviva nods, "But what if they don't want me?"

Kali smiles, "Phoebe will. In her own way. She's searching for someone to relate to. Someone to share her witchcraft with. What's the problem?"

Aviva shakes her head, "I... I don't know."

Kali smiles, "You're the one that came to me remember? You're the one who wanted... sisters."

Aviva nods, "I know. I want a family. I don't have anybody. What do you get out of it? I mean, you know, you never really said."

Kali smiles, "Halliwell magic is old and powerful, and I want it. And since they're new to the craft, if I'm ever going to get it, it has to be now...through you. Just do as I say Aviva. Make Phoebe convent your power, then we'll both get what we want."

At the Manor. Next morning. Prue is on the phone with Andy as she brings a towel out from the laundry room. "It's not what you think Andy. It's hard to explain. It's just..."

Andy on the phone, "Just another one of those things you can't explain. It's a broken record Prue."

Prue starts sorting laundry. "Look, I wanted you to stay. You have to believe me."

Andy on the phone, "Andy: Then what happened? Why'd you want me to leave all of a sudden?"

Prue sighs, "I told you. Something came up. Sister stuff. I can't really go into detail without betraying someone's secret.

Buffy enters the kitchen walks past Prue to the fridge.

Andy on the phone, "Prue..."

Prue sighs, "Look Andy, I'm unpredictable. OK? That's just part of who I am and you have to accept that because I can't change it."

Andy on the phone, "I don't want you to change Prue. I just... I just want to have a normal date. That's all. Is that too much to ask for."

Prue looks to Buffy, "All right. Let's just try it again. Tonight? Uh, same time? Same place?"

Buffy rolls her eyes and mouths at Prue, 'Great another night out. Maybe I can go to Willow's tonight.'

Andy on the phone, "Same movie?"

Prue picks up the burnt movie. "Uh, yeah. OK, so what? 8 o'clock?" She looks to Buffy and mouths, 'Sure Buffy, just make sure her parents are ok with it.'

Andy on the phone, "I'll be there. Bye."

Prue nods, "All right. Bye." She hangs up and goes to the laundry room. "If I ever see that little fire bug again..."

Buffy rolls her eyes, "I hope you're talking about the other girl and not me. I didn't even use my power last night."

Prue sighs and nods, "Yes I meant that other girl."

Piper and Phoebe come in.

Piper smiles, "Just got done dodging Leo's questions about her. That was close."

Prue nods, "Too close. The question is, who is she?"

Piper nods, "And what does she want?"

Buffy nods, "Agreed. Though if she's evil I wonder why my spidey sense wasn't going off on her?"

Phoebe smiles, "Let us not forget Aviva found Kit."

Prue nods, "Yeah. She's probably the one who stole the cat in the first place."

Buffy nods, "Wouldn't surprise me."

Phoebe frowns, "Hello? Paranoia check."

Prue shakes her head, "Phoebe, for all we know, she's a warlock."

Buffy nods, "Especially with that power. I'm the only one so far other than this Aviva that has a fire power. And we all know the reason I got mine was cause of my being the Slayer."

Piper shakes her head, "She can't be. She didn't freeze."

Phoebe nods, "Beside, she said she was a witch."

Prue sighs, "OK, a bad witch maybe."

Phoebe nods, "Yeah, a bad witch with a really cool power. Better than mine. That's for sure."

Buffy rolls her eyes, "You think hers is cool, but not mine. She has the same power I do. Though she did seem to have better control over it than I do."

Prue nods, "Why are you so quick to defend her?"

Phoebe looks to Buffy, "Actually it wasn't exactly the same. She seemed to generate heat instead of fire." She looks to Prue, "Why are you so quick to condemn her?"

Piper nods, "If she is a witch, a good witch, then it might be kinda cool considering she's the first one we've run across."

Buffy nods, "Piper has a point. All we've run across so far is warlocks, vampires and one bad witch. Be nice to know there was another good witch out there."

Phoebe smiles, "Exactly."

Prue sighs, "Guys, we don't know anything about her—how she got her powers. How she found out about us?"

Phoebe nods, "She tried to tell us, but you kicked her out."

Prue nods, "Yeah. She would have exposed us if I hadn't."

Phoebe shakes her head, "Prue, she's just a kid. Besides, if she is a witch, she probably feels just as alone as we do. Maybe she just needs some friends."

Prue nods, "Or maybe she's out to destroy us. It wouldn't be the first time."

Phoebe nods, "OK."

Prue nods, "All right, until she knows who she really is, let's just steer clear. OK?"

Buffy nods, "I will get Willow to check Gateway's school records see if we can find anything out about her. If she lives in the area she will go to school there. And if she does I can tail her."

Phoebe nods.

Prue looks at Buffy, "Be careful if you do. Remember we know nothing about her. I'm late for work." She leaves.

Piper nods, "Me too."

Buffy nods, "Can you drop me off at school?"

Piper nods, "Sure, Buffy." They leave

The moment Piper dropped Buffy off at the school she went in search of Willow.

Willow looked Aviva and found only one student by that name. "She has massive amount of absences and tardies."

Buffy nodded, "Then I better find her, before she skips again. Thanks Will."

Willow smiles, "No problem."

An hour later Buffy found Aviva outside making her way along the fence line. She quietly followed the girl and frowned as Aviva walked up parallel to where Phoebe waited.

Buffy shook her head, "What are you doing Phoebe."

Aviva smiles, "I'm so glad that you came."

Phoebe nods, "I'm glad that you called actually."

They walk along the fence towards the gate. Buffy followed at a discreet distance.

Aviva nods, "Bet you got a few questions huh?"

Phoebe smiled, "A few. Uh, what time does school let out?"

Aviva smiles, "Uh, now." She goes under the fence lock.

Buffy frowned and made her way over to the fence and jumped over it.

Phoebe nods, "Uh, whoa. Whoa. Hey, what are you doing?"

Aviva smiles, "Oh, the same thing I'm sure you did a thousand times. Am I right?

Phoebe smiled, "Well…"

Aviva nods, "I am right. Um, you didn't tell your bitch sister about this, did you?"

Phoebe shakes her head, "Hey, watch your mouth. Prue had every right to be upset about what you did."

Aviva nods, "It's funny how you knew that I was talking about Prue and not Piper. Hey, come on." She heads towards a car. "Let's go for a ride. I'll tell you everything that you want to know."

Buffy frowned, "Damn. I better join them or I will lose them." She walks over to Phoebe and Aviva, "Got room for one more."

Aviva frowned, "Sure."

Later that evening Buffy, Phoebe and Aviva walk into the manor through the kitchen.

Phoebe nods, "This is the dining room. This is the parlor. That's the conservatory, which is just another fancy name for family room."

Aviva smiles, "This is so totally cool. Oh, I love it here."

Buffy rolled her eyes.

They walk towards the living room. Aviva opens the door.

Phoebe nods, "And welcome to planet Leo."

They walk into the living room.

Aviva nods, "You are liking this Leo."

Phoebe nods, "Uh, maybe."

Buffy laughs, "Yeah she does. But so does Piper."

Aviva nods, "Does he like you? I mean, how can he not? You are so gorgeous." She goes and sits down on the couch holding Kit.

Phoebe nods, "Well, you see, Piper and I have sort of have this little competition going over him." She sits in a chair.

Buffy sits on the arm of the chair next to Phoebe.

Aviva nods, "So just use your powers. Cast a spell on him or something. You do have powers, don't you?"

Phoebe frowns, "What makes you think we do?"

Aviva smiles, "Please. You're both witches."

Buffy frowned, "Yeah, which brings us back to how do you know that."

Phoebe nods, "You promised."

Aviva smiles, "I have this teacher. She's great. She's like my mom. She told me."

Phoebe nods, "Who is she?"

Aviva smiles, "Another witch. Like a high priestess or something. She said you were the coolest Phoebe and I would like you the best. She was right."

Phoebe nods, "Well I'd like to meet her sometime."

Buffy leans over and whispers, "Careful Pheebs."

Aviva smiles, "Yeah?" Phoebe nods. "Is your room up there?"

Phoebe nods, "Mm-hmm."

Aviva nods, "Come on. I want to share something with you." She puts Kit down and stands up. "You're gonna love it. I promise."

Phoebe and Buffy get up and they head upstairs to Phoebe's room.

Aviva puts on black lipstick. "I like mirrors. They never lie to you. They always tell you the truth whether you like it or not. It's basic black. The color of my soul. Do either of you want to try it?"

Buffy shakes her head, "No thanks. It looks good on you though."

Phoebe shakes her head, "You're soul's not black."

Aviva smiles, "You know the feeling that I mean. You're different, you know, you'll never want what they want. You belong on the edge. We aren't pink people Phoebe." She turns around. "You want to see something incredible? Better yet, you want to try it?"

Buffy nods, "Try what?"

Aviva smiles, "I'll show you my power if you show me yours."

Buffy, Phoebe and Aviva sit on the floor Indian style. In between them they lay our a handkerchief with some candles.

Aviva smiles, "Don't be afraid." She holds out the palm of her hands. Phoebe grabs them."

Phoebe nods, "OK. Now what?"

Aviva glances at the mirror. Kali appears slightly and then disappears. Aviva giggles a little. "She's giving it to you too."

Phoebe frowns, "Who is? Giving me what?"

Aviva nods, "The power. Here." She puts a potted plant in front of Phoebe. "Touch this." Phoebe does. The plant begins to grow. "It's the power of heat. Your hand is like the sun."

Buffy blinks, "That is so different than mine."

Phoebe nods, "Whoa."

Aviva smiles, "That's pretty cool huh?" She looks to Buffy, "How is it different than yours?" Buffy powers up a fireball. "Ah I see yours is fire based. Yeah it is different."

Buffy extinguishes the fireball as Prue opens the door.

Prue nods, "Phoebe… Buffy, are you..." She sees Aviva.

Phoebe smiles, "Prue..."

Phoebe, Buffy and Aviva stand up.

Prue frowns, "What are you two doing?"

Aviva shakes her head, "Get out. This is her room."

Phoebe sighs, "Aviva..."

Aviva shakes her head, "No. She treats you worse than my aunt treats me. It's not right."

Buffy shakes her head, "It's OK. Relax."

The doorbell rings. Prue and Phoebe heads downstairs

Buffy and Aviva kneels down and blows out the candles. "Aviva I hope we didn't get off on the wrong foot yesterday. We didn't know you. We just had to be cautious."

Aviva nods, "Just like when you had your friend hack into my school records this morning? Yeah I knew. Hey it's okay. I would have done the same thing. And yeah we did get off on the wrong foot. But I can see you're a good person, hey you ditched school with me so how bad can you be."

Buffy nods as she and Aviva go downstairs.

Prue nods, "I know. Believe me. You have every right to be upset, and I can't talk about it right now but I will. I promise. Tomorrow? Quake? 1:00? Please?"

Andy sighs, "OK. Tomorrow 1:00." He waves to Phoebe and Buffy before leaving who waves back. Prue closes the door and begins to walk away. She passes Phoebe.

Phoebe shakes her head, "I am so sorry." She, Buffy and Aviva follows Prue. "I totally forgot." They stops walking.

Prue frowns, "What the hell is she doing here? What's a matter with you two?"

Buffy sighs, "Prue."

Aviva shakes her head, "This is their house too, OK? They can do whatever they want."

Phoebe shakes her head, "Aviva..." She looks to Prue, "She's not what you think she is."

Buffy nods, "Phoebe is right, we've had a chance to get to know her Prue."

Aviva sighs, "She doesn't understand Phoebe… Buffy. She'll never understand." She leaves.

In Aviva's room, she's talking to Kali. "If there were no Prue, Phoebe would be with us now. Though I am disappointed you didn't stay away from the Slayer."

Aviva nods, "I hate Prue and wish that she were dead. About Buffy I think she actually came around. Were kind of kindred, both the same age both with a similar power."

Kali nods, "You are sure she can be trusted?"

Aviva nods, "Positive."

Aunt Jackie outside the door, "Aviva? What's going on? Who's in there with you?" She opens the door and comes in. "You skipped school today and I want to know why."

Aviva frowns, "Get out of my room!"

Aunt Jackie shakes her head, "How dare you speak to me in that tone!" She notices the candles as Aviva stands up. "What's going on here?"

Aviva shakes her head, "I said get out of my room! Leave me alone or else..." In the mirror, Kali is her demon self. She throws a fireball at Aunt Jackie. It hits the bottom of her dress. She screams and tries to put it out by slapping it with a jacket. "Aunt Jackie?" She goes out of the room while slapping and hits the wall. "Oh god." Aunt Jackie falls down the stairs. Aviva comes out and runs downstairs. "Aunt Jackie?" She stops short and sees her aunt on the floor motionless.

A short time later Aviva is on the stairs. The cops and paramedics are there. They take Aunt Jackie away in a stretcher. Aviva walks up the stairs. to her room.

Kali nods, "What did you tell the police?"

Aviva smiles, "That the candle caught her dress on fire and she fell down the stairs. Oh my god. What have I done? I didn't mean to hurt her."

Kali nods, "Your powers are growing."

Aviva nods, "I know, but as soon as Aunt Jackie wakes up, she'll tell them what really happened. I've got to get out of here."

Kali frowns, "No!"

Aviva shakes her head, "Why not?"

Kali nods, "You must go back to the Halliwell's. You must complete what you've started."

Aviva sighs, "But how?"

Kali nods, "Piper won't stop you, and Phoebe's already an ally. As is Buffy despite my thinking she would have been a problem. Only Prue stands in our way. You must use your powers. You must take Prue's place in the power of three. Don't disappoint me Aviva. You said you wanted a family. And now you'll have one."

In the kitchen at the manor Phoebe pours Aviva a cup of tea and gives it to her. Piper is on the phone in the background. Buffy and Prue is also there.

Aviva smiles, "Thanks."

Phoebe nods, "You poor thing. You're shivering."

Aviva nods, "I'm OK." She looks to Prue, "I know that you don't like me and I know that the last thing you want to do is help me. But I don't know where else to turn. I don't have anybody else."

Piper comes to them. "She's telling the truth. Her aunt was admitted to the hospital."

Aviva nods, "How is she? Is she OK?"

Piper smiles, "She has a broken arm and a concussion."

Prue nods, "How did she fall again?"

Buffy shakes her head, "Prue."

Aviva sighs, "I don't know. I...I heard her scream and, and then I found her on the floor and I called 911. I promise, if you just let me spend the night and get some sleep, I'll tell you everything you want to know about me tomorrow."

Piper nods, "She can't stay alone."

Buffy nods, "She can sleep in my room."

Prue nods, "No magic."

Aviva smiles, "I swear."

Later that night in Buffy's room Buffy is asleep, but Aviva is awake.

Kali appears in the mirror. "Now... is the time."

Aviva goes out into the hallway. Kali appears as her demon self.

Aviva opens the door to Prue's room slightly and sees Prue asleep. She then prepares to use a fireball.

Piper frowns, "What are you doing?"

Aviva smiles, "Um..." She closes the door. "I was just looking for the bathroom."

Piper nods, "Oh. It's down the hall to the right."

Aviva nods, "Great. Thanks. Good night." She goes to the bathroom. Piper looks in Prue's room. She's still asleep. Piper closes the door.

The next day Phoebe is on the ladder putting a light bulb in a lamp in the dining room. Buffy and Prue is with her.

Prue nods, "I'm going to the hospital to see her aunt in an hour. I'll be back OK?"

Buffy smiles, "I'm going to go with you, Prue."

Leo walks into the kitchen and opens the door. He almost hits Aviva. "Whoa. Sorry. Didn't know you were there."

Phoebe turns on the light and steps down.

Aviva nods, "That's OK."

Leo leaves.

Prue nods, "Aviva, Buffy and I are going to go see you aunt. Let her know where you are. We'll talk when we get back OK?"

Aviva nods, "Yeah. Sure. Tell her I love her."

Buffy smiles, "Will do."

Prue and Buffy leaves.

At the Hospital. Buffy and Prue is sitting by Aunt Jackie's hospital bed. Aunt Jackie is sitting up. "I don't understand. Why is Aviva staying with you? I don't even know who you are."

Buffy smiles, "She didn't mention me? We go to school together."

Prue nods, "Um, actually we just met your niece. We lost our cat and she found it for us."

Aunt Jackie nods, "Oh. That's what she was hiding."

Buffy shakes her head, "Hiding?"

Aunt Jackie nods, "In the closet. She wouldn't let me go anywhere near it. You're lucky she didn't sacrifice the poor thing."

Prue looks at Buffy, "I'm sorry?"

Aunt Jackie leans closer. "She's a strange kid. Very troubled. Into all sorts of wired stuff. Black magic, voodoo. God know what else. No wonder she doesn't have any friends."

Buffy shakes her head thinking back to Amy and her mom, "What makes you think she's into black magic?"

Aunt Jackie sighs, "You should see her room. It seems like every time I walk past there she's in there...chanting or something. Sometimes, I swear, I even hear other voices. I know she's not happy there. I'm only taking care of her until her mom gets out of rehab."

Prue nods, "Do you mind if we stop by your place and pick up some things for Aviva?"

Aunt Jackie shakes her head, "No."

Prue smiles, "Great. Thanks. Feel better."

Buffy nods, "Yeah you feel better."

They leave.

In Aviva's room. Buffy and Prue walks in. They looks around.

Prue opens the closet and sees some black candles and the other stuff Aviva uses when she calls Kali.

Buffy sees Aviva's diary by the bed. She picks it up and reads one of the pages.

Kali appears in the mirror behind Prue in demon form and then disappears. Prue looks over her shoulder at the mirror.

Buffy shakes her head, "Prue look at this. 'Kali says we're close to taking over the Halliwell coven. I hate lying to them.' You were right."

Prue sighs and nods, "I don't know, Buffy. I think she maybe being used."

Buffy puts the diary down as Prue picks up her cell phone and dials.

Phoebe on the phone, "Hello."

Prue smiles, "Uh, Phoebe. It's me."

Phoebe on the phone, "Prue, where are you? Piper called. She says you were supposed to meet Andy at Quake."

Prue shakes her head, "Um. Listen, we have a bigger problems to deal with. Call her back and tell her to come home. Buffy and I will explain it to you guys later." They begins to leave. "And Phoebe, whatever you do, don't let Aviva out of your site. OK?"

Phoebe on the phone, "Yeah sure."

Prue smiles, "All right. Bye." She hangs up, "We have to get back."

They leave.

At the manor in the kitchen Leo comes out of the laundry room as Phoebe comes in.

Phoebe smiles, "Wait, Leo, what did Piper say to you?"

Leo shrugs, "Uh, it doesn't matter, really... forget it." He begins washing his hands.

Phoebe nods, "Well, whatever she said, you should probably take it with a grain of salt, 'cuz sometimes her medication makes her say the strangest things! But, not to worry-her shrinks are on it."

Leo frowns, "Shrinks?"

Phoebe nods and chuckles behind his back. She sees Aviva's jacket on the chair and picks it up. She has a premonition. In it, Buffy opens the door to her room and Aviva throws a fireball at her. The premonition ends.

Phoebe frowns, "Oh my god. Aviva."

Leo hears a car door close and looks out the window. He looks back at Phoebe. "Prue and Buffy's home."

Phoebe frowns, "Oh no." She heads upstairs.

In Buffy's room, Aviva puts something in the middle of the candles. She hears someone run upstairs.

Phoebe opens the door as Aviva throws a fireball. "Aviva?" The fireball heads towards Phoebe, who catches it with Aviva's jacket. It catches on fire. Aviva stands up. "Aviva!" She shakes the jacket and throws it on the ground. She stomps on it. "What the hell are you doing?" She holds her arm.

Aviva shakes her head, "Phoebe... I'm sorry." She leaves.

Downstairs in the kitchen Phoebe is sitting on a stool. Piper brings her a pack of ice. Prue, Buffy and Leo are also there.

Piper nods, "Maybe we should take you to the hospital."

Phoebe shakes her head, "No. It's not that bad."

Leo nods, "Well, how did it happen anyway?"

Phoebe smiles, "Uh, candles. Aviva had some candles lit and I guess the sweater got to close, and then she ran out of the house."

Leo nods, "It sure caught fire fast."

Prue nods, "Um, Leo, we got this. We wouldn't want you to be late for that estimate."

Leo smiles, "Are you sure? I don't mind."

Phoebe nods, "No. Prue's right. I'm fine. You go ahead."

Leo nods, "OK. I'll stop by later to see how you're doing."

"Great." Piper and Phoebe said.

Leo leaves.

Buffy sighs, "OK. So, how did this happen?"

Phoebe nods, "I had a premonition...that Aviva was going to hurt you, Buffy. So I tried to stop her. I should have listened to you Prue. You were right about Aviva. She's evil."

Buffy shakes her head, "No."

Prue nods, "Actually, she's not, but she is being used by an evil spirit and I think we know which one, so come on."

They all upstairs.

In Aviva's room. Aviva is putting stuff in her backpack. She goes to the closet.

Kali appears in the mirror. "Where are you going Aviva?"

Aviva sighs, "Go away. I don't want anything to do with you. I don't want to be a witch anymore."

Kali frowns, "But you haven't finished what we've started."

Aviva frowns, "But I'm hurting people. Don't you understand? First Aunt Jackie, now Phoebe. I have to leave."

Kali nods, "Aren't you going to say good-bye first? Touch the mirror, Aviva. It's OK. I'm not upset. Touch the mirror and I'll go away too." She does. Kali goes into Aviva's body. "Hello..." Her voice changes to evil… "...Aviva?"

In the attic Prue, Piper, and Phoebe are looking through their Book. Buffy is looking through hers.

Prue nods, "Kali. Kali. Kali."

Piper nods, "There, there. An evil sorceress cursed into her own dimension. She appears in reflections and has the power to possess..."

Buffy finds the page in her book, "...innocents and use them as pawns to steal a witch's power."

Piper shakes her head, "Wait. I don't understand. So she's using Aviva to try to turn us into bad witches?"

Phoebe shakes her head, "Does it say anything about how to get rid of her?"

Prue nods, "Uh, yeah. To get rid of her: shatter her reflection. However the hell we do that. Here." She gives Piper the book. The door slams open and there stands Kali in Aviva's body.

Buffy looks up, "Aviva?"

Kali walks towards them, "Hello Buffy. Phoebe, how's," her voice changes to Kali's voice, "the arm?"

Phoebe frowns, "You're not Aviva?"

Kali smiles, "You're not kidding."

She throws a fireball at them. Prue pushes her sisters to the left and she goes to the right.

Buffy powers up her own fireball, "Two can play at that game."

Aviva calls out, "Buffy… Phoebe! Help me!"

Kali shakes her head, "Never mind." Piper puts the book down. Kali throws a fireball at them. Buffy throws her the fireballs collide in midair exploding. Kali looks at Prue. "My powers greater than yours Prue and yours Buffy. It's only a matter of time." Phoebe and Piper are now kneeling

Phoebe smiles, "Time? Piper, that's it!" Kali looks at them. "Freeze her!" Piper looks at her.

Piper shakes her head, "Aviva doesn't freeze."

Kali looks at Prue and Buffy.

Phoebe nods, "Yeah, but Kali will."

Piper freezes Kali.

Kali screams, "No!"

Aviva's body falls to the floor. Piper looks behind her and pulls down a sheet, revealing a mirror.

Piper nods, "Prue! The mirror! Get her to the mirror!" Prue uses her power to throw Kali in the mirror.

Kali calls out, "No!"

Buffy powers up a fireball and throws it at the mirror. Kali screams as the fireball shatters the glass. Kali disappears.

In Buffy's room Phoebe is there holding Kit. Buffy sits on her bed.

Aviva is standing by the mirror. Her hair is washed and she's wearing a dress that's dark red. "Thanks for the dress."

Buffy smiles, "No problem. It's Prue's."

Phoebe puts Kit down on the dresser and walks to Aviva, who grabs her jacket. "All set?"

Aviva nods, "Yeah. I'm all set."

Buffy smiles, "You OK?"

Aviva shakes her head, "I don't think, uh, looking into a mirror is ever going to be the same." She turns around.

Buffy nods, "Yeah, well, the demon's gone Aviva, forever."

Aviva smiles, "Yeah, well, unfortunately all the other ones remain. It's so hard."

Phoebe smiles, "Oh, I know. It was hard for me too when I was your age."

Aviva smiles, "Yeah?"

Phoebe nods, "Are you kidding?" Aviva goes by the dresser and grabs on her coat. "These are the hardest years of your life." Phoebe sits next to Buffy on her bed.
"The one thing I learned is you just gotta be yourself."

Aviva giggles a little as she puts on her coat. "Easy for you to say. What if yourself sucks?"

Phoebe smiles, "Well, you don't have to worry about that. No. Aviva, I'm serious. You are a great kid. I could totally see us hanging out together in school. A couple of troublemakers." She, Buffy and Aviva laugh a little.

Aviva smiles, "I'm going to miss being a witch. Having powers...and having sisters."

Phoebe nods, "Yeah, well, you've got your mom. And your aunt will be home from the hospital tomorrow." She stands up. "OK, now remember, do not tell anyone about us Halliwell sisters right?"

Buffy nods, "Or about me."

Phoebe nods, "It's just our little secret."

Aviva smiles, "I promise."

Phoebe nods, "OK."

Buffy smiles, "Now one more thing before you leave. You may not have powers anymore. But you know what you don't need them to have sisters or friends. You can join Willow, Xander and I for lunch any time you like. Or if you know, just you know want to hang."

Aviva smiles, "I'd like that Buffy."
