Part 5
"All right just stand over there please in that circle by the bow window." Miss Harris orders. Ariara follows Miss Harris's directions and steps next to Ashford in the circle. Miss Harris starts chanting Latin under her breath. Several of the Council members start to join in. A bright blue light encircles Ariara and Ashford. A bright white flashes as Ariara screams in terror. The blue disappears and Miss Harris looks over at the circle and both Ariara and Ashford are gone. 'It worked."

"Would you get off my back!" Buffy screams.
"Why? You know you are being irrational!" Angel yells back.
"I am not. I am being very rational. I am 22 years old I think I can handle myself. I'm not just some dumb kid."
" Your having sex with Spike! How does that make you smart?"
"I don't care what you think. The only reason you are here is because Giles said we needed your help with this prophecy. Which probably as usual is predicting the end of the world."
"Well I…."
"Excuse me!" Giles yells over Buffy and Angel's ranting. Everyone takes their eyes off the fighting ex-couple, that had started fighting when Xander let it slip that Buffy was boinking Spike and, turns to Giles. "But I would like to talk about the prophecy now."
"That's what they were doing. Now let them get back to fighting its like watching Jerry Springer but live." Anya states.
"And you guys said I had no tact. Although she does a point." Cordy points out.
"Well I personally would like to know what is going on." Wesley confirms.
"Well I found a prophecy stating that sometime in the next 3 days the Fifth Slayer will come and help us with well the Apocalypse." Giles explains.
"See I knew it was the end of the world…again!" Buffy proclaims.
'So who is the Fifth Slayer?" Willow questions.
"Well who is the Third and Fourth while your at it." Buffy asks as she pulls out her ringing cell phone. "Would you hold on for a minute." "Hello?" Buffy answers her phone.
"Dawn where are you I thought I told you….of your out with Ben huh ok just be at Gile's house by 8. Bye have fun…but not too much fun!" Buffy hangs up her phone and turns to Giles. "You were saying?"
"Yes, well I have the answers to neither of your questions. I'm afraid."
"Great but I have one question, can they please finish their fight, it was just getting interesting." Spike wonders.
"Shut up Spike!" Angel growls.
"Don't tell him to shut up. What gives you the right?" Buffy answers to Angel's statement.
"Ex-boyfriends tend to have those rights especially when the guy your dating is a vampire."
"You're a vampire!" Everyone hears the fight starting back up and they all turn to the bickering couple again.
"But this is different."
"How? How is this different?"
"For one I have a soul. What does Spike have…a chip that's all he has."
"Hey at least I'm not impotent."
"Shut up Spike!" Buffy and Angel both yell.
"And two which I think should be enough of a reason. He's scum!"
"Yeah like you should be talking Peaches." Buffy and Angel both turn to glare daggers at Spike.
"Shut u…" Suddenly a loud crash comes from Gile's living room. Everyone turns and sees Ariara and Ashford on top of Giles's now broken coffee table with a puff of smoke clearing form around them. Ariara coughs and swipes the smoke away form her face. She sees her audience and smiles.
"Hello everyone."
