Disclaimer- Sorry didn't put this on the first page, forgot. None of this is mine all belong to their respective owners! Could You?

A/N- I am taking the Chris thing from 'Charmed' out. It just wouldn't fit, obviously. But everything from Buffy still remains intact.

The three sat in the kitchen, Phoebe and Paige had gone up to bed awhile ago.

"Spike, I'm so sorry" Piper started, she had said it like 5 times already.

"Piper, pet its ok" Spike said a small grin on his face. Piper smiled at the endearment.

"Well so much for hiding?" Spike said to Leo.

Leo laughed a little. He turned to his wife. "Obviously then they believe you should know or else they wouldn't have shown what they showed you" "What exactly was it I saw?" Piper said, throwing Spike a gaze that showed comfort.

Spike looked down, so Leo spoke up "It wasn't that long ago, Spike, the girl you saw."

"Buffy" Piper supplied. She watched as Spike's head shot up at her name.

"Yes" Spike said his voice cracking slightly.

"Yes, well Spike, Buffy, her army, her friends they were all at war with The First" Leo said.

"The first what?" Piper asked.

"Evil" Spike said.

"Like the Source?" Piper said confused.

"No, more powerful then any Source, it's the root of the Source, All the evil in the world makes up the First, even the tiny bits of evil in all of us, But it has to work through others" Leo said he gave Spike a look.

"It worked through me a little bit, it set me off with this thing called a trigger" Spike said not wanting to go into details. "Yes, it can manipulate people, but it can't take corporeal form, it appears through people that have died" Leo said, the last part quietly.

"What?!" Piper said flabbergasted, "Why have we never heard of this thing before? Why is it attacking?"

"Was" Leo said. Piper looked at him confused.

"It was attacking, not anymore" Leo said.

"Why was it attacking?" Piper said correcting herself.

"It wanted to take out the Sl-" Spike started.

"It wanted to take out Buffy and her army" Leo interrupted. Piper was to blown away by the information to notice Spike's little slip.

"Oh, Well Wow" Piper said as she leaned back in her chair. Spike looked over Leo who was looking up and then he looked back at his wife.

"There calling me back up" he told her "Are you going to be ok?"

She nodded and they kissed again with Leo orbing out in her arms. Piper looked forlornly back at Spike.

Spike smirked at her.

They sat in silence for a few minutes. Until Piper said something.

"Did you love her?" she said looking at him.

He looked up at her for a fraction of a second before looking back down at the table. It was a few minutes before he said anything.

"With everything I have" he said making little circles with his fingers on the table.

He said it in present tense. He still loved her.

"Listen Spike I'm..." she started trying to be nice and comfort him.

"No don't, I. I don't want pity" he said getting up from the chair. He walked across the kitchen.

Piper decided to switch the topic. "So, uh, the First really evil huh?"

He turned back to here. "Evilest, likes to play with you" he said smiling a bit.

"Oh it likes to do more than that" said a voice from the corner. Spike and Piper immediately were on alert and stood next to each other.

A figure emerged from the shadows. It had raven hair that was cut a little past her shoulders. She was wearing a dark lacy tank and and an even darker skirt. It had an evil malicious smile on her face.

It walked towards the two.

"So now the little witchy knows" the figure said to them.

A small sound escaped Piper's lips. "Prue?" her voice was shaky.

"Piper" she said, her voice almost normal there was a hint of warmth in it. Then she turned completely towards Piper.

"Sweet Piper, trying to fill my shoes." Piper's eyes widened in horror and disbelief.

"Didn't take long to forget about me?" she said slowly circling Piper. "Forget all that I've done for you"

"You hated me for leaving you; I hated you for not being there" Prue said the evil taking slowly over her voice.

Spike saw the hurt in Piper's eyes. Then it dawned on him that it was the First.

"Don't listen to it" Spike yelled at Piper "It's the First" his voice filled with hatred.

"And the vampire" the First said slowly turning to Spike, tears now streamed freely down Piper's face

"Oh! I can't call you that anymore, can I?" she said her face regaining its malicious smile.

Spike watched as the creature changed, the raven hair become a bouncy blonde. She became shorter. She wore a pink shirt with a jean jacket hanging loosely on her shoulders. But that wasn't the part that drew his attention. A huge gash started at her shoulder and went down to her hip. Blood poured from the cut but none touched outside her body. Her head was bowed down looking at her cut but she raised her head to look into Spike's eyes.

"Anya" Spike said in a whisper.

"Yea Spike" she said her expression almost gleeful, "Its me" "No, its not" he said calmly but you could see the chaos in his eyes.

"Oh, but don't you remember?" the figure said, now beginning to circle Spike, "There is always a little bit of them in me, so in a way I am Anya"

Spike eyes closed. Trying to block out the First's words.

"So what? Now you forget about Sunnydale? About your life before all this." she stood back from Spike and regarded at him with disgust ". this white?"

Spike didn't answer, instead he kept his eyes closed, using his old ways to stop the First from invading his head.

His shoulder felt cold.

The First was leaning on it, whispering in his ear. "Can you do it? Forget about all of them?"

Then a small shiver shot through his body.

"Forget about me?" he knew the voice before he looked over. But he opened his eyes and looked into her green eyes.

"Could you?" she walked over to stand in front of him. Her hand reached out to touch his cheek. Spike's resolve was melting.

"Stop" Piper said. She stood between Spike and the First. The hand that had been held out to Spike now shot through Pipers chest, she tried to ignore the ice coldness that had started to envelope her.

The hand shot back to the First and Piper exhaled as the coolness left.

"Leave. Now." Piper said. Her teeth were clenched together and her hands were balled into fists at her sides.

"So the witch has a backbone" the First said as if seeing Piper in a new light. She walked up to Piper so there were mere centimeters between their faces. Piper tried not to blink as she stared the First down.

"Maybe I should have gone after the Charmed Ones" the First said, her voice barely above a whisper. Piper tried not to let the sentence frighten her.

The First stepped back and Spike took the place beside Piper.

"Oh, well there's always next time" the First said.

"And there will always be white hats to kick your ass" Spike said his anger boiling over.

"Temper, temper" the First said, laughing a bit, it was a nice bubbly laugh. It sounded exactly like Buffy. Piper looked over at Spike. If looks could kill the First would be a bunch of evil ash.

"I just came to say goodbye" the First said. It gave a sensuous wave to Spike and a smirk to Piper.

"Toodles!" and with that it blinked out like a old TV turning off. Piper watched the spot where it had disappeared, she couldn't take her eyes off of it. Was it even real? Did she dream it?

She pinched herself. "Ow!" she said.

This was no dream.
