Anyways, let's get on with it..........

******* "Come with me Emma," Buffy instructed. "We can drive you home or something."

Emma stared at Buffy with her hate-filled eyes and smiled a bit evilly.

"OK." *******

Buffy stared at Emma. Emma stared back. She wasn't blinking, Buffy noticed. She shook her head, motioned at Emma with her hand as if to say "Come on" and they walked off.

The journey back to the car was a short one, but neither of them spoke a word the whole way. With every step, Buffy wondered what Emma was thinking and why she wasn't talking. Then she wondered why she wasn't talking to Emma. Before she knew it, they had reached the car.

The mechanic was already there and was working on the car.

"Mum, this is Emma. A demon thing attacked her and I helped her. She's pretty shaken up so I told her we could give her a lift to wherever," Buffy explained.

"Of course we'll give her a lift. Where do you want to go Emma?"

...... "School."

A few surprised glances later, they were on their way to the high school. Buffy was in the backseat, trying to make conversation with Emma, but Emma said very little and stared towards the seat in front of her the whole way. When they finally arrived, Emma climbed out of the car awkwardly and walked away without even saying thankyou or goodbye.

"Sorry about that mum. I think she's kinda...shy," Buffy said. She kissed her mum on the forehead and ran off in the direction of the library.

As she expected, Willow, Xander, and Giles were in the library. Probably studying demons and the like, Buffy thought. But as she grew closer to them, she realised that she was wrong.

"So, whadda ya think Buffy's gonna say when she finds out that she missed the aud-" Willow was cut off by Xander.

"Hey, look Wills! It's the Buffster!" he exclaimed.

"Glad you could make it Buffy," Giles said.

"Hey guys! What did I miss?"

"Oh! Buffy, you missed the auditions," Willow said. "I'm really sorry. Cordelia got the role of Sleeping Beauty."

"WHAT?!? NO WAY!!!" Buffy cried. "No, no, no, no, no..."

"Yeah, we were all freaked out. Well anyways, I'm playing the Prince and now ... ewww! I just realised that I'll have to kiss Cordelia! Why didn't you show up Buff?"

"It's a long story," Buffy said, pouting slightly at the fact that she was beaten by Cordelia. Then she realised that she hadn't actually been beaten because she didn't try out. That made her a little happier. Then she had an idea.

"Willow, can you do a spell that can take us back in time so that I can try out for the Princess after all? I just wanna see if I can beat Cordelia."

Willow looked thoughtful.

"Will we still get the same roles? Xander queried.

"Yeah. I think I can make it so that our performances will be exactly the same, and Buffy will just be there when she wasn't before. So as long as she does better than Cordelia she'll be fine."

"You mean I still get to be the Prince?"

"Sure do Xand. And Giles here will still be the director. Although he isn't actually time travelling."

"Willow, are you sure this is safe? I mean time travel is quite dangerous and can have serious side-effects." Giles lectured.

"I think I can pull it off," Willow answered. "Now, we don't need any ingredients for this spell. Come on guys.

Xander, you and me stand here and Buffy stands between us. Here, hold my hands. Now, Buffy? You need to close your eyes and relax. Really relax. Like you are in a hot tub or something. Giles, make sure you are at least 5 feet away from us, or you'll get pulled into the time warp. The spell is only meant for 3 people at once and you were going to be the director anyway so you don't need to come. Besides, if you did, I don't know what would happen. It's safer this way."

Buffy and Xander smiled at Willow's babbling. Then Buffy closed her eyes.

"Relax," Willow reminded her. Then she chanted, "Libérez maintenant, entendez ma réclamation, le passé est notre futur, ainsi il sera!" (A/N: It's in French, so just in case you can't understand what she is saying, it's this: "Release the now, Hear my plea, The past is our future, So it shall be!")

A strong wind whipped through an open window. A large, swirling portal opened in the middle of the room. Everyone quickly stepped away.

"Are you sure this is safe Will?" Xander asked. Willow didn't reply. Xander gulped.

Then all three of them jumped forwards into the time warp. Giles watched as they disappeared, then turned his back, and walked to the stacks. When no one was looking, Emma, who had been listening from the other side of the door, sneaked into the library and followed the trio into the past.........
