Chapter 12: From Fear to Eternity

Phoebe, Buffy and Prue are at an Occult shop shortly before midnight.

Tanjella smiles, "Excuse me, but I'm getting ready to close now."

Prue shakes her head, "Oh, I'm sorry. I thought that you were open until 1:00."

Tanjella nods, "Normally I am, but not on the eve of Friday the 13th. In fact, I kinda wanna be closed by midnight."

Prue nods, "All right, well, we won't be much longer will we, Pheebs?"

Buffy smiles, "Yeah come on Pheebs."

Phoebe nods, ":Okay, okay. So, input?" She holds up a necklace.

Buffy nods, "Nice. Let's go."

Phoebe sighs, "It's nice? That's it? Maybe I should look for another one."

Prue frowns, "Phoebe, the woman wants to close."

Phoebe nods, "I know, I know, but choosing the right good luck charm is a very big decision."

Prue shakes her head, "If they all bring good luck, what's the worst that can happen if you choose the wrong one?"

Pheobe sighs, "All right, you know, this is why I like shopping with Piper."

Buffy rolls her eyes, "About time Pheebs."

They walk up to the counter and hands the necklace to Tanjella.

Tanjella nods, "Okay, you want me to put this on Piper's order?"

Phoebe shakes her head, "Uh, no, I'll pay separately."

Tanjella smiles, "Cash or charge?"

Phoebe nods, "Uh, will you put it on a credit card for me? I will pay you back. And tomorrow I have a job interview and..."

Prue sighs, "And the good luck charm is going to help you get the job. How much?"

Buffy sighs, "Yeah Pheebs. Friday the 13th really has nothing to do with good or bad luck."

Tanjella smiles, "$25.50 plus tax."

Prue nods, "Okay."

Tanjella smiles, "Oh, but you get 10% off if you sign the mailing list."

Phoebe smiles, "See? Good luck already."

Phoebe writes down their names.

Tanjella nods, "If you're interested, we're having a Wicca gathering for the spring equinox."

Buffy shakes her head, "What makes you think that we would be interested?"

Tanjella nods, "Most witches are."

Prue shakes her head, "We never said that we were witches."

Phoebe looks between Buffy and Phoebe, "Do you think she knows?"

Prue shakes her head, "How could she?"

Buffy nods, "She can't."

The clock strikes twelve.

Tanjella nods, "Could you please hurry?"

Phoebe sighs, "Is there a problem?"

Tanjella nods, "I told you I just, I want to be closed by midnight."

Prue nods, "Wow, you really take this Friday the 13th stuff seriously."

Tanjella sighs, "Yeah, you should too. Especially this one."

Buffy sighs, "And why is that?"

Tanjella is all business, "Because once every thirteen hundred years, there's a universal convergence of negative energy on Friday the 13th and this is the year."

Prue gives Phoebe and Buffy a look that says let's go. "Of course it is."

Tanjella shakes her head as the clock strikes thirteen. "Did you hear that? The clock struck thirteen. It's starting already."

Phoebe sighs, "Good night, Tanjella."

They grab the necklace and leave.

Outside. Prue and Phoebe get in the car and drive off. Smoke rises out of the sewer and Barbas appears.

Inside Tanjella is blowing out the candles. She turns off the light. Barbas knocks on the door.

Tanjella shakes her head, "Sorry, we're closed." Barbas knocks on the door again. "I said, we're closed."

Barbas walks through the door like a ghost. "Not to me, witch."

Tanjella frowns, "Oh my God." She picks up an amulet.

Barbas smiles, "Amulet's don't work with this demon." He passes his hand in front of her face. "Your greatest fear is being buried alive in an earthquake." The room starts shaking and things fall off the shelves. Tanjella screams. Shelves fall down around her. "Yes. You can't run, you're frozen in fear."

Tanjella stops screaming and she falls on the floor. She is dead and her hair has turned white. Barbas walks over to the mailing list. He passes his hand above it and half of the names disappear; including Phoebe, Prue and Buffy's.

The next morning at the Manor Buffy, Piper and Phoebe walk out of the kitchen into the solarium.

Phoebe sighs, "Think about it. When has she ever said it to you?"

Buffy shakes her head, "Not since I moved in with you guys."

Piper shakes her head, "I don't remember exactly but I'm sure she must have."

Phoebe nods, "Yeah, okay, try to think of a time, just one. Whenever I say it to her, she says something like, 'oh me too' or 'same here'."

Piper nods, "You know, you're right."

Buffy sighs, "Yeah your right."

Phoebe sighs, "Yeah. The girl cannot say the words 'I love you'. It's like some weird..."

Prue walks in. "Morning."

Buffy smiles, "Morning, Prue."

Phoebe smiles, "Oh, good morning."

Prue and Phoebe sit down.

Prue smiles, "Oh, that outfit looks great on you."

Phoebe nods, "Thank you for giving it to me."

Piper blinks, "Wait, you gave her that outfit?"

Prue nods, "Yeah, it was an early birthday present."

Phoebe smiles, "For the next three years."

Buffy blinks, "Are you feeling okay?" She touches Prue's forehead.

Prue nods, "I am fine. In fact, I had a wonderful dream about mom."

Piper smiles, "Oh, how great. What about?"

Prue nods, "Um, I was a little kid like four or five and I was reaching up holding her hand and she was taking me someplace. I don't know where but it felt so safe."

Phoebe smiles, "I wish I had dreams like that."

Piper shakes her head, "Mum would have to knock before she came into your dreams."

Phoebe frowns, "Ooh!"

Buffy sighs, "I mean no respect to Aunt Patty or you guys but at least you get to remember her. I didn't even get to know her."

Phoebe reaches over to Buffy and hugs her, "Right there with you, Buffy. Remember she passed away when I was three."

Prue yawns and Piper covers her mouth. "What are you doing?"

Piper smiles, "You have to cover your mouth when you yawn or you might let the Devil in." Buffy, Phoebe and Prue laugh. "Especially on Friday the 13th."

Prue shakes her head, "Is that amulet one of the things we picked up for you last night?"

Piper nods, "Yes. And this," she holds up a stone, "and these." She holds up the other necklaces. "We're having a superstition themed fundraiser at the restaurant today. I'm going to need all the help I can get."

Buffy shakes her head, "Don't you think that you're over doing it just a little bit?"

Piper sighs, "With all the warlocks and demons we've seen. And all the vampires you've fought, Buffy. I don't think so."

Prue sighs, "Piper, those things are real. Okay, superstitions are like old wives tales invented to explain somebody's misfortune."

Piper nods, "Statistics show more bad things happen on Friday the 13th than any other day. I met Jeremy on Friday the 13th."

Phoebe frowns, "Really?"

Piper nods, "Yes, and he tried to kill me. Afterwards I find out there's a superstition. That any relationship started on Friday the 13th is doomed."

Prue nods, "More bad things happen on Friday the 13th because people put energy into believing bad things will happen."

Buffy nods, "Yeah Prue is right. I even asked Giles. He said Friday the 13th and Halloween are generally the two days of the year when evil usually stays in."

Piper sighs, "Pheebs."

Phoebe smiles, "Actually, I prefer the upside of superstition. Good fortune, which is what I hope this," she holds up a coin, "little honey brings me in my job interview with the real estate agency. Will you give me a lift? I'm running late."

Piper nods, "Okay. You want me to drop you off at school Buffy?"

Piper and Phoebe start heading towards the doorway.

Buffy shakes her head, "No school. Teacher conferences all day. I guess I could go anyways keep Phoebe from being bored. Just in case she doesn't get the job."

Phoebe smiles, "Okay, well, have a great day, Prue. I love you."

Prue nods, "Yeah, me too."

Buffy, Phoebe and Piper stop and look back at her. They look at each other and continue walking.

Piper sighs, "I wonder if she knows she does that?"

Buffy shakes her head, "I don't know. But hey I hear it from you two all the time so kind of makes up for it. Still it would be nice if Prue said it also."

They walk in the foyer and opens the door. Andy's there who was just about to knock.

Piper smiles, "Hey, Andy."

Andy nods, "Hey. Is Prue in?"

Phoebe calls out, "Prue, there's a policeman here to see you."

Piper nods, "See you later, Andy, we're running late."

Piper, Phoebe and Buffy head out the door.

Phoebe and Buffy is at SWA Properties. Phoebe's in her interview. Buffy sits in a chair reading a magazine.

Susan smiles, "As you can see we're a small firm but we've built a very successful business."

Phoebe nods, "Oh, well, size doesn't matter to me. What does excite me though, is the chance to work with successful woman. I mean, if I want to be a success who better to learn from right?"

Susan nods, "Oh, I like that. I've heard all I need to hear. When can you start?"

Phoebe is ecstatic, "Are you serious? I got the job?"

Buffy rolls her eyes.

Susan nods, "I can spot talent when I see it. Um, can you start today?"

Phoebe nods, "Uh, yeah, yes of course."

A guy walks in.

Susan looks at the guy, "Hi, honey. Give me a second." He walks back out. "Here are the keys. Louise is out of town, I've got... I'll be in Calistoga for the day, so all you have to do is answer the phones."

Phoebe nods, "Taking a romantic midweek break?"

Susan nods, "Well, yeah. Um, which reminds me, there is one special task I'll need you to handle from time to time. If my husband calls, I'll need you to cover for me."

Phoebe's eyes widen and she laughs nervously. "Oh, uh, sure."

Susan smiles, "Our little secret?"

Buffy sighs.

Phoebe nods, "Oh, of course."

Susan nods, "Well, you have my pager number. Have fun."

Phoebe smiles, "Okay." Susan leaves. "You too."

Buffy shakes her head, "You're not really going to lie to her husband are you?"

Phoebe sighs, "I don't know."

Later at Quake Buffy, Prue, Phoebe and Piper are sitting at a table.

Piper sighs, "What did you tell Andy?"

Prue shakes her head, "I didn't talk to Andy. I didn't want him to know I was anywhere near there so I called 911 and I left."

Phoebe nods, "Are you sure you're okay?"

Prue sighs, "Yeah, it's just, uh, I can't get her face out of my mind, you know. There was so much fear and her hair was pure white, the terror that she must of felt. It's just..."

Phoebe nods, "Okay, I'm scared enough, thank you. So now what?"

Piper nods, "We avoid any place he can use to terrorize us."

Buffy nods, "And what about all the other witches?"

Prue nods, "Well, I took Zoe's day runner. Some of the names in there have got to be witches. I'll start making phone calls." She reaches for the salt and knocks the jar over spilling some salt.

Piper frowns, "Oh, oh, quick. Throw some over your shoulder."

Prue sighs, "Don't be ridiculous."

Piper nods, "It's bad luck. You could be attacked by evil spirits."

Prue nods, "Piper, we have been attacked by plenty of evil spirits and they had nothing to do with salt. And considering our powers, I can't believe that you want to rely on this for our protection."

Buffy nods in agreement.

Piper sighs, "My feeling is, you can never be too rich or too safe."

Phoebe sees a ladybug on the plant on the table. "Oh, look, a ladybug."

Prue sighs, "Is that bad luck?"

Piper pulls a face.

Phoebe shakes her head, "No, actually Grams once told me that whatever direction it flies in, you can find your ideal mate. We've gotta try it." She flicks the ladybug and it flies across the room and lands on Lucas.

Piper sighs, "Oh."

Prue smiles, "So does a positive superstition cancel out a negative one?"

Piper shrugs, "I don't know."

Buffy shakes her head, "Wait, what's going on?"

Prue nods, "That guy has been trying to talk to Piper all day and she has been avoiding him because she..."

A waiter trips and spills drinks all over Prue. Buffy, Phoebe and Piper wipe her with napkins.

Piper sighs, "You should've thrown the..."

Prue nods, "You know what? Piper, don't even say it. I'm going home to change."

Buffy smiles, "Be careful, I love you."

Prue nods, "Yeah." She leaves.

Piper sighs, "Okay, she can't say it. Maybe she's afraid it'll make her look too vulnerable. Ever since mum died, you know, she has to be the strong one to take care of us and everything. It's probably just all part of that. And no offense Buffy, but since you came into our lives she kinda been thrust back into that role."

Buffy sighs, "None taken, Piper. All three of you have been thrust into the role of being a parent. Well Phoebe is more like a sister. But still…"

Phoebe nods, "Maybe. Hey, I gotta get back to work. You coming back with me Buffy?"

Piper nods, "How's the new job?"

Buffy nods, "Sure, Pheebs."

Phoebe sighs, "Great, except my new boss wants me to lie to her husband about an affair that she's been having."

Buffy nods, "Yeah."

Piper sighs, "Oh, how nice. What are you gonna do?"

Phoebe nods, "Buffy asked me the same thing. And I still don't know. I'm just hoping it never comes up. Hey good luck."

Buffy and Phoebe leaves.

Later back at SWA Properties. Phoebe's sitting at a desk holding a coin. Buffy is sitting in the chair opposite her reading a magazine.

Phoebe sighs, "Okay, heads - I tell him the truth, tails - I lie." Buffy rolls her eyes. She flicks the coin in the air and it lands on its edge. "Oh, that helped a lot." She picks the coin up.

Buffy shakes her head, "Pheebs."

The phone rings. Phoebe reaches for it and knocks over a bottle of water. "Oh! Hold on please." She picks up the bottle and has a premonition that water has filled up in the shower and Prue's stuck inside. "Prue. Uh, no one's in, call back later." She hangs up and then dials another number.

Buffy frowns, "What did you see?"

Phoebe looks to Buffy, "Prue, drowning in the shower." She then speaks into the phone. "Prue, it's Phoebe. Are you there? Pick up. Hello? Prue, I just had a premonition, you could be in trouble. Are you there? Prue, are you there?" She hangs up. "Come on we need to get back to the house."

Later back at the Manor in the living room Phoebe and Buffy walk in through the front door.

Phoebe calls out, "Prue?" She and Buffy runs in the living room. "Hi."

"Hi." Andy and Darryl said.

Phoebe smiles, "Is everything okay?"

Prue nods, "Yeah, everything's fine. So, are we done?"

Darryl nods, "Yeah, we're done."

Andy and Darryl leave.

Prue sighs, "You would not believe what happened to me."

Buffy nods, "Oh yes we would."

Phoebe nods, "I saw it." Prue takes the towel off her head and she has a streak of white hair. Buffy frowns. "Prue, he came really close, didn't he? You've got some white in your hair."

Prue looks in the mirror. She along with Phoebe and Buffy head up to the attic.

Phoebe sighs, "There's gotta be something in the Book about releasing fears. Maybe it's just not obvious." She walks over to the Book Of Shadows.

Prue shakes her head, "Phoebe, Buffy, do you smell that?"

Buffy walks over to her Book.

Phoebe shakes her head, "What?"

Buffy sniffs the air, "I don't smell anything."

Prue nods, "It's like Sandalwood."

Phoebe shakes her head, "No, I don't smell anything."

Prue sighs, "Mom used to wear a fragrance like that."

Buffy blinks, "That must be the reason mom had a bottle with that fragrance on her vanity. Mom never wore it herself. But she always kept a bottle there. I wonder if it had been meant for Aunt Patty and she had never gotten the chance to give it to her?"

Phoebe sighs, "I was too young to remember."

Prue looks at Buffy and nods, "It's possible honey. Now that I think about it things got strained between Aunt Joyce and Grams not long after mom passed away."

Phoebe looks in the Book. "Wait, I thought you said there was nothing in here about releasing your fear." Prue looks at the page. Buffy moves away from her book to stand beside them. "To let go of your fear, trust in the greatest of all powers."

Prue shakes her head, "That wasn't there this morning."

Phoebe nods, "Well, maybe because of all the stress you've been..."

Prue shakes her head, "No, Phoebe, it wasn't there alright. It's in mom's handwriting, I would of remembered."

Buffy sighs, "Okay, Prue. So, what do you think the greatest of all powers is? Do you think that's the power of three? Is it the family magic?"

Prue sighs, "I don't know."

Phoebe frowns, "What is it?"

Prue nods, "It's like I can feel her presence."

Buffy smiles, "That must be nice, I wish I could feel her presence."

Phoebe nods, "Okay, maybe you should get dressed and go to Bucklands."

Prue shakes her head, "No, um, I don't really think I'm up for that."

Phoebe sighs, "Look, Prue, you said he disappeared once Andy got there. So maybe he only attacks when you're alone. When your fear is greatest."

Buffy nods, "Plus there is no showers or pools at Bucklands."

Prue nods, "Yeah, you're right."

Phoebe nods, "Of course I am. Whatever you do, stay away from water, any water, don't even drink it."

Prue smiles, "Don't worry."

Phoebe nods, "I love you."

Prue smiles, "Me too."

Phoebe and Buffy look at each other.

Buffy sighs, "Why do you do that?"

Prue frowns, "What?"

Phoebe nods, "You never say 'I love you' to either of us."

Prue sighs, "I just did."

Buffy shakes her head, "No, you just said 'me too'."

Phoebe nods, "And you never say it to Piper either. Have you ever said 'I love you' to anybody?"

Prue sighs, "Yeah, I said it to mom and it was the last thing I said to her before she died."

Buffy and Phoebe hugs Prue.

Buffy sighs, "I'm sorry, Prue. I know what it's like to lose someone…"

Prue nods, "I know Buffy and thank you."

Back at SWA Properties. Phoebe's sitting at a desk. Buffy is once again reading a magazine.

A man walks in.

Phoebe smiles, "Hi, may I help you?"

The man nods, "Hi, I was looking for Susan."

Phoebe smiles, "Oh, she's not here but I can tell her you came by. What's your name?"

Richard nods, "Richard Warner."

Phoebe looks at Buffy who nods, "Oh, you're Susan's husband."

Richard smiles, "Unless she's got one I don't know about."

Phoebe laughs. "No, no. She doesn't have another husband."

Buffy nods, "That we know about for sure."

Richard nods, "I thought I'd surprise her and take her to dinner. Do you know where she is?"

Phoebe nods, "Uh, yes. She went out."

Buffy rolls her eyes, she mouths, 'Just tell him.'

Richard nods, "Okay, well, I think we established that. Do you know where?"

Phoebe shakes her head, "Uh, well, she... that's actually interesting, she, uh... I can't do this."

Richard frowns, "I don't understand."

Phoebe stands, "I'm sorry, Mr. Warner, but I can't be the assistant your wife wants without compromising my beliefs and I just won't do that."

Buffy stands, "Yeah and no offense neither can I."

Richard shakes his head, "Wait a minute, slow down."

Phoebe nods, "Don't worry about the office, I will lock up." She writes a note.

Richard sighs, "Thank you. Both of you."

Buffy blinks, "For what?"

Richard nods, "For not lying to me about Susan's affair."

Phoebe's eyes go wide, "You knew?"

Richard nods, "I've tried denying it for some time now but I guess there comes a time when you have to face the truth."

Phoebe sighs, "I'm so sorry."

Buffy nods, "So am I."

Richard shakes his head, "Don't be. And listen, don't quit on my behalf."

Phoebe smiles, "I'm not."

Buffy nods, "She's not. She's quitting on principle."

Richard leaves.

The phone rings and Phoebe answers it. "SWA Property."

Woman on phone, "Hello, may I speak to Susan?"

Phoebe shakes her head, "Uh, no, she's not in right now. Can I take a message?"

Woman on phone, "This is Mrs. Joffee. I'm outside a house Susan's supposed to show me and she's not here."

Phoebe sighs, "Uh, well, I'm sorry but she must have forgotten. She's out for the rest of the day."

Woman on phone, "Can anybody help me? I flew in from L.A. just to see this house. I'm under a terrible deadline to move from my other house."

Phoebe shakes her head, "Uh, no one's here. But you know, since you flew in and all, I guess I can show you the property. What's the address?"

Somewhere in town at the property. Phoebe walks in the yard. "Mrs. Joffee? Hello? Mrs. Joffee? SWA Properties." She hears a voice behind her.

Woman smiles, "Hello, dear." Phoebe turns around and it's Barbas imitating a woman's voice." Thanks so, his voice changes back, "much for coming out." He grabs her.

Phoebe frowns, "Let go or I'll scream."

Barbas smiles, "I could use the fix. Besides it will get the witch you left out front running back here." He passes his hand in front of her face.

Phoebe smiles, "I know how you kill. There are no elevators around here."

Barbas shakes his head, "Elevators? That's what you think your greatest fear is? You mortals need to look deeper. Down where the real truth lies. Your greatest fear is losing a sister and I get two for one."

Out front Buffy waits for Phoebe to return. She finally gets tired of waiting and goes back into the backyard, "Phoebe?"

Phoebe's voice comes from behind Buffy, "Right here." Buffy turns to face Barbas as his voice changes back to normal. "Thanks for coming back to find me."

Buffy shakes her head, "Really not much you can do to me. It's not dark so you can't really attack me with my fear."

Barbas laughs, "You think your greatest fear is dying at the hands of a vampire? You really should look deeper." He passes his hand in front of her. "Well that's a nice surprise it looks like I will get three for one. Your greatest fear is that you will lose a cousin."

In Prue's office at Bucklands. Prue's on the phone. "He's only a threat till midnight, okay. All right, well, take care and don't look in any closets till then." The other line rings. "All right, look, I gotta go, somebody's calling me. Bye." She picks up the other line. "Hello?"

Phoebe is on the phone, "Prue, it's Phoebe. Buffy and I got stuck at a house I was showing. Can you come and get us?"

Prue nods, "Yeah, sure. Where are you?"

At the property Barbas is on the phone imitating Phoebe's voice. "We're at 3112 Napa Street."

Prue on the phone, "All right, I'm on my way."

Barbas looks at Phoebe and Buffy who are tied up with tapes over their mouths.

Shortime later Prue walks to the gate. "Phoebe? Buffy? She opens the gate.

Phoebe calls out, "We're in the backyard. You won't believe the view from here."

Prue walks in the yard. "Pheebs, Buffy, where are you?" She walks near the swimming pool. "Phoebe? Buffy?"

Prue turns around and sees Buffy and Phoebe tied up and Barbas standing there.

Barbas imitates Phoebe's voice, "Isn't that a great view?" He pushes Prue in the pool. "That's right." Prue sinks to the bottom. She tries to swim back up to the top but can't. "Feed me your fear."

Buffy's eyes go wide.

A bright light appears in the pool.

Prue can hear Patty's voice, "Prue, Prue. You must face your fears, Prue. You must trust in the greatest of all powers. Love."

Prue looks up at Patty, "Mom?"

Patty's ghost smiles, "Save yourself. Save your sister and you're cousin." Patty holds out her hand. "Don't be afraid."

Prue reaches out and holds Patty's hand. Patty pulls her up to the top. "It's over."

Buffy smiles under the duct tape.

Prue uses her power and Barbas flies across the yard. She gets out of the pool.

Barbas frowns, "Your fear."

Prue shakes her head, "I'm not afraid anymore."

Barbas frowns, "Nooo!" He burns and explodes. The rope disappears off Buffy and Phoebe. Buffy, Prue and Phoebe hug.

Phoebe sighs, "Oh my God, I was so scared."

Buffy nods, "So was I."

Prue nods, "I know. I'm just glad you're both safe."

Phoebe nods, "I don't know what would happen if I ever lost you. I love you."

Buffy nods, "I don't what I would have done either. I love you."

Prue smiles, "I love both of you."

In the living room at the Manor. Piper's sitting on the floor in front of the fire place. Buffy, Phoebe and Prue walk in.

Phoebe smiles, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Piper sighs, "Kicking myself. I just lost probably the greatest catch in San Francisco."

Buffy shakes her head, "What happened?"

Piper nods, "He doesn't like women who rely on superstitions to make decisions. And I'm not so sure he's wrong."

Phoebe smiles, "So, Prue vanquished the demon of fear."

Buffy nods, "And saved me and Phoebe at the same time."

Prue nods, "Well, at least put him back in the bottle for another thirteen hundred years."

Piper blinks, "Wait, whoa, what? What happened?"

Phoebe sighs, "Well, he pushed her into a pool and then..."

Prue nods, "And mom helped me out."

Piper blinks, "Mom?"

Prue sighs, "Okay, I know it sounds crazy but I saw her. It was just like my dream. She was this incredible vision, so peaceful and she took my hand and brought me to the surface."

Piper shakes her head, "That doesn't sound crazy. I wish I could've seen her."

Phoebe nods, "Me too."

Buffy smiles, "Me three."

Piper nods, "I'm just glad you're all right."

They hug.

Prue smiles, "I love you."

Piper breaks the hug. "What did you just say?"

Buffy nods, "Yeah she said it."

Prue smiles, "I love you."

Buffy, Piper and Phoebe smile.

Piper smiles, "I think that's the first time you've said that to me."

Prue sighs, "Yeah, I know, I wish I had of said it a long time ago. Ever since mom died I've been afraid to say it. I didn't want to lose anybody else."

Piper nods, "Well, we're not going anywhere."

Buffy nods, "Yeah you're stuck with us for a good long time. We'll all be sitting in the old witches home together reminiscing about our glory days."

Prue sighs, "Okay. I'm exhausted. I'll see you three in the morning." She leaves the room.

Piper sighs, "Uh, what happened to her in that pool?"

Phoebe shakes her head, "I don't know. But whatever it was, it must have been incredible."

Buffy nods, "Yeah incredible. I think I will head on up also." She heads up to the attic to find Prue's sitting in a chair holding the Book Of Shadows.

Prue sees words magically appear on a page and she hears Patty say, "Thanks for letting them into your heart."

Prue sighs, "I miss you, mom."

Buffy walks over to Prue and wraps her arms around Prue's shoulders. "You're not alone Prue. I miss her, too."

Prue looks up at Buffy and smiles.
