Summary and Pairings and Challenges: You just read them in Chapter one. C'mon now…



Buffy enters hospital room with the crew. Dawn is awake and visabley doing better.

Buffy: Oh god, Dawnie. Are you ok? Of course not. This is all my fault. Faith, did you see where Drusilla went? Where'd she come from exactly?

Gunn: Hey Buffy, I think it's best to calm down. I mean, I know you're like, slayer~of~the~lifetime or whatever, but we can track it.

Willow: Yea! I can do a tracking spell! I'm sure I can still…

Buffy: No. Willow… you know you aren't suppose to toy with Magick. Faith, you, Cordy, Angel, and I are going to go find this Spike and Anya and stop them. Tara, we need you to make do a protection. Or a blessing. Or a Glamour. So they don't see us coming. Willow, Oz, watch over Dawn. Her condition changes, call me. Fred help Gunn track Drusilla. Clear?

Xander: What am I suppose to do?

Buffy: See if you can help Tara.

Xander: Check.

Buffy: Let's roll.

Cut to Spike and Anya clearly plotting to hurt the Scoobs. They've got at least three newbie vampires laying around. The song "Not an Addict" by K's Choice is playing in the background.

**Breathe it in and breathe it out

And pass it on, it's almost out

We're so creative, so much more

We're high above but on the floor

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive

If you don't have it you're on the other side**

Cut to Buffy, Angel, Cordy, and Faith geared up with weapons heading towards Spike's crypt. Buffy thinks digusted with herself at the times she came here for fun.

**The deeper you stick it in your vein

The deeper the thoughts, there's no more pain

I'm in heaven, I'm a god

I'm everywhere, I feel so hot

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive

If you don't have it you're on the other side

I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)**

Cut to Willow in Dawn's hospital room. Dawn appears to be asleep. The lights are out, but candles are lit. We see Willow perform a spell.

** It's over now, I'm cold, alone

I'm just a person on my own

Nothing means a thing to me

(Nothing means a thing to me)

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive

If you don't have it you're on the other side

I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)**

Cut to Tara and Xander trying to do that spell. They aren't having much luck. Xander looks like he suggests Willow. Tara looks like she says no at first, but the goes for it. By the time they arrive at the hospital, Willow's spell is done. They ask her to help with the spell.

**Free me, leave me

Watch me as I'm going down

Free me, see me

Look at me, I'm falling and I'm falling.

It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive I feel...

It is not a habit, it is cool I feel alive

It's not a habit, it's cool, I feel alive

If you don't have it you're on the other side

I'm not an addict (maybe that's a lie)

I'm not an addict...**

They don't realize they just invited her back to Magick. Oz comes out of bathroom. He sees Willow doing a spell. He looks really disappointed. Willow has a flashback to "Tabula Rasa" when Tara leaves.

**Goodbye to you,

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I Loved,

the one thing that I tried to hold on to.**

The spell is cast. Buffy and group is now invisible to Spike and Anya. They go in for the attack. Buffy and Faith take on Spike, and Angel and Cordy take Anya, since it's less personal that way. Spike and Anya are totally confused about what's going on. All they know is that some wind is attacking them violently. Drusilla shows up with the newbies, and they can see Buffy and company. The war begins.
