"Whoa. Ok. No need to get violent." Piper said nervously, to the
angry looking redhead.
"We're not here to hurt you. We need your help. My name is Piper. I'm a witch. And so are you two, since you didn't freeze. Oh, and your friends are ok. They're just frozen in time. One wave, and they're back to normal."
"What kind of help?" Tara spoke up softly from her place next to Willow. Piper sighed.
"My husband was attacked by this demon/vampire thing. The only way to save him is to combine the powers of the Charmed Ones, that's my sisters and me, and the Slayer. So is she here?"
Willow looked apprehensively at Piper as she told her story. 'But if she's evil and trying to kill us, she would know who Buffy is'. She rolled her thoughts over in her brain, and pointed to the tiny blonde.
"That's the Slayer?" Amanda said uneasily, "But she's so tiny!"
"Hey!" Willow remembered, "We haven't heard your story yet."
"Oh yeah. Ok, well, I'll explain to all of you at once. So Piper, fix them, please." She complied, and the result was four extremely confused people. Willow and Tara calmed them down, and convinced Buffy not to kill their visitors.
Piper once again explained their problem, and that they weren't, in fact, evil.
"Will, maybe that's what got you last night." Xander was a lot more trusting than Buffy.
"How do we know you're telling the truth?"
"The Charmed Ones, as far as I know, are very much a reality. What did you say your power was, again?" Giles helped convince the rest of the Scoobys that Piper was a force of good.
"Which begs the question: What are you?" That question was directed at Amanda.
"Simply put, a guardian angel for witches. Whitelighter's the technical term. I did so much good in my natural lifetime, that I was selected to guide witches." The immediate following question was from Tara.
"Why don't we have a whitelighter, then?"
"Because you weren't strong enough. But the power coming off you two is incredible, so they're probably in the process of assigning you one. But back to business: Will you help us?"
It took some convincing, but they agreed. Piper and Buffy made plans for her sisters to come stay at the Summer's house. They would fight this thing in Sunnydale. Amanda orbed Piper back to the Manor, where her sisters were waiting anxiously.
"We did it. Now we just have to figure out how to kill it." Amanda went up to check up on Leo, and the sisters got ready for their stay in Sunnydale.
"I don't trust them."
"Buffy, we've been over this. Even done research. They're completely trustworthy. Don't worry about it, okay?"
It had been a few hours since Piper and Amanda had come and gone. Buffy still didn't believe that they were legit. Willow was doing the best to persuade her best friend that things were all right, but she wasn't listening.
"It's hard not to worry. How did they know where I lived? And how did she get enough power to just stop time like that?" The doorbell rang.
"Well, you can ask her, because that's them."
"We're not here to hurt you. We need your help. My name is Piper. I'm a witch. And so are you two, since you didn't freeze. Oh, and your friends are ok. They're just frozen in time. One wave, and they're back to normal."
