The bell above the door to the Magic Box jingled as William and Sage walked in holding hands. Crystal ran over to them and latched onto Sage's body. Sage let go of William's hand and hugged her back.
"I missed you too. "Sage said smiling slightly.
Crystal smiled, showing her braces. Sage let go of Crystal and grabbed back onto William's hand. The two of them walked across the mostly deserted shop and made their way over to the round table, set up in between two shelves stocked full of mystical merchandise, and sat down next to each other. Crystal quickly raced across the room and scrambled up into the seat next to Sage. Jenn sat across from them tapping a pencil on an open journal.
Sage looked at her and smiled. "So d-did Giles tell you w-what the meeting was about? "
Jenn lay her pencil down on her notebook. "Nope. He just called my dad and told him to get all of us down here. "
William looked concerned. "Well, it must be something important. He wouldn't just call us down here for nothing. "
Sage brushed her fingers across his forehead. "Don't worry s-so much. You'll get w-wrinkles. "
She brought her mouth to his and kissed him lightly. The kiss seemed to grow with each passing second. Jenn cleared her throat loudly and the couple jumped away from each other.
"We've got a minor here people. Let's keep it PG. "Jenn smiled.
Sage blushed slightly and looked over at Crystal. "Sorry. "
"That's okay. Mom and dad do that all the time. "Crystal said kicking her dangling legs back and forth.
Jenn's smile grew wider. "Oh really. "
The back door slammed open and Jade stormed in. She looked around the room and her gaze finally fixated on Sage. "Where's mom? "

"Not here yet. "Sage replied.
"When are they going to get here? "Jade questioned.
"They were still getting ready when William picked me up. "Sage stated.
Jade walked over to the table and slumped down in the chair next to Crystal. She sighed heavily and crossed her arms over her chest.
The training room door swung open and Buffy and Amy walked out arguing.
"Mom I can't go patrolling Thursday. "
Buffy sighed. "Amy, you have too. You can't just ignore this. "
"Mom! Please! It's just one night! I think Sunnydale can live without one or two of its citizens. "Amy whined.
"Amy! I can't believe you just said that! Now you're defiantly going out. "Buffy pointed back into the training room. "Now go finish your workout. "
Amy sighed in defeat. She jogged back into the training room and closed the door behind her.
Buffy ran her hands through her hair. She cleared her throat and stared at Crystal. "Where's your mom? "
"Giles took her, dad, Xander, and Anya somewhere. "Crystal answered.
"And he didn't take me. Thanks Giles. "Buffy turned to face Sage who was making out with William. "Where's your mom? "
"Which one? "Sage asked trying to pull away from William. She placed one hand on his chest and pushed him back. "Honey g-get off. "
"Willow. "Buffy stated.
"Neither one of them have s-showed up yet. "Sage said and smiled down at William who started kissing her neck.
"Great. When did I get nominated as baby-sitter? "Buffy asked sighing slightly.
"I don't need a babysitter. "Crystal whined.
"Of coarse not sweetie. "Buffy said smiling at her niece.
The bell above the door jingled again. Giles walked in with Anya, Xander, Dawn, and Chris behind him.
"So everyone decided to return. "Buffy mumbled.
Crystal jumped off of her chair and ran over to Chris. Chris scooped her up in his arms and smiled at her.
"Were you good for Jenn? "
Crystal nodded her head and Chris looked over to Jenn for reinsurance.
"She was fine. "Jenn smiled.
Chris lowered Crystal to the floor. She ran back over to her chair next to Sage.
"Still no sign of Will and Tara? "Xander asked as he looked around the room.
"Nope. "Sage answered. "Mom was just getting into the shower when I left this morning. "
Giles sighed. "I guess we'll have to start without them. "
The bell jingled again, and Willow's voice echoed through the Magic Box. "Start without who? "
Giles turned around to see Willow and Tara standing in the doorway. " Um... No one now. "
Sage got out of her chair and sat on William's lap to make room for everyone to sit around the table. The other people sat around the table, filling in the rest of the chairs. Buffy poked her head in the training room. Amy ran toward the punching bag, jumped up, and kicked it with both feet. Buffy smiled to herself.
"The meeting's starting sweetie. "
"K. I'll be out in a minute. "Amy said punching the bad with a right uppercut.
Buffy closed the door and walked back over to the table. She sat down in an empty chair next to William and Sage. Giles stood up and removed is glasses, letting his arm fall down to his side.
"All right, it has come to my attention that Glory is back. "
Dawn's facial expression changed instantly. Chris grabbed onto her hand and squeezed it tightly. Giles continued.
"Now I'm not exactly sure this is correct, but Wesley read me this prophecy that stated that the God would return for The Key's first born child. "
Dawn allowed Crystal to climb up into her lap. "Why would she want Crystal? "
"I'm not certin, but I believe she's going to try to open the portal again. She may need a new army of insane. "
Tara cringed at that information. Willow gripped onto her hand tightly/
"If my calculations are correct, then she'll arrive here in about three weeks. Or September 13th. "
"Crystal's birthday. "Chris stated.
"Yes, she'll probably try to get her as soon as she turns eleven. As you may recall, Dawn, you were only slightly older when Glory used you to open the portal. "
"I remember. "Dawn stated clutching Crystal tightly.
Jade spoke up. "I could try a spell to try to keep Glory away from Crystal. "
Tara frowned. "Jade, we really don't need you messing around with magic right now. "
"Right now! How about ever? I try to improve my power and you always hold my back! "
"Sweetie, take it from me. Magic is not something you mess around with."Willow stated.
"Goddess, I know! You've told me like a million times! "
Willow raised her voice to a level that she seldom ever raised it too. "Then I'm making it a million and one! "
Jade stood from her chair and stormed out of the Magic Box. She slammed the door behind her causing it to bounce once, then finally close.
Tara sighed and placed her hand on her forehead. "What are we going to do with her? "
Willow tightened her grip on Tara's hand. Giles put his glasses back on and ran his fingers through his salt and peppered colored hair. Amy opened the back door. She stepped out fixing the white tank top she wore.
"What did I miss? "Amy asked.
"Glory's back, blah, blah, blah, She wants Crystal, blah, blah, blah, Jade got pissed and left. "Jenn filled in.
Anya smacked her daughter's arm. "Watch your language. We're not all over fifteen. "
Jenn looked over at Crystal and smiled. "Please don't learn from my English. "
"Ok. Let's get back to the fact that a Hell God wants my kid. "Dawn stated.
Giles cleared his throat. "Right. We're going to have to train Amy more. She's going up against the same God that Buffy faced twenty years ago. "
"God I'm old. "Buffy interrupted.
Giles stared at her sternly.
"Sorry. "Buffy smiled. "Continue. "
Amy spoke up before he could. "Don't I get a say in how I lose my neck? "
"You're not going to lose your neck. "Buffy stated angrily.
"Who's to say that I wont? Maybe I will. I might lose my arms and my legs too. But all I'm saying is, I should probably go after her with a little more than a plan that my mom and my Watcher came up with. "
Buffy put her arm around her daughter's shoulder. "We'll be there. All of us. Helping. It won't be just you. "
"But it should be. I'm the Slayer. "Amy argued.
"And so was I when I went up against her. All of my friends were helping. "
"Okay. Hold on. "William started. "No offense mom, but when you fought her, you kind of died. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not to keen on the idea of my sister dying. "
"None of us are, but she has to do this William. "Giles stated.
"But this is bull! She shouldn't have to fight her! "He moved Sage off of him and ran out the front door.
"Anyone else wanna leave? "Xander asked.
Amy raised her hand high into the air and waved it around. "Oh. Me. "
Buffy looked at her strangely. "You can't leave. "
"Damn. "Amy sighed.
"Language. "Buffy scolded.
"People! Let's get back to the matter at hand! "Giles shouted. " We've handled Glory before. This shouldn't be this hard. "
Everyone looked ashamed except for Sage who's attention remained glued to the front door. Tara touched her arm and she snapped out of the daze she was in.
"What's wrong? "Tara asked.
"I-it's William. I-I feel that I should g-go after him. "Sage sighed.
"Then go. "Tara smiled.
Sage smiled back. She jumped out of her chair and threw the strap of her purse over her head. She raced up the small step and left the building.

Downtown, Near The Bronze
Sage continued to search for her boyfriend. She had all ready checked a few of his favorite places and still there was no sign of him. Next she decided to check at his house. More than likely he'd be there. She stepped off of the curb only to be propelled backwards by an invisible force.
A woman of about the age of twenty walked toward her quickly. Her curly blond hair bounced slightly as she walked. She wore a skintight red dress that came up well above her knees.
"You're that bitch that drained me! Aren't you?! Stuck your fingers in my brain! Drained the living hell out of my powers, just to get your sweetheart's sanity back! "
Sage stood from the ground and wiped at the small stream of blood that trickled out of her left nostril. "What the h-hell are you talking a- about? "
"You know damn well what I'm talking about! Took my powers to hell! "The woman shouted still walking toward her.
"Glory? "Sage questioned.
"Bingo! The bitch gets the door prize! How 'bout I show you what you've won? "Glory held her hands out. Energy crackled from the tips of her fingers.
Sage backed up a few paces. Glory shot her hands outward, sending balls of energy flying toward Sage. Sage waved her arm in a small circle whispering something to herself.
An invisible shield formed over her body. The energy balls bounced off of it. With each hit, the shield grew weaker. Sage tried her best to hold the barrier around herself. Pretty soon the energy balls broke through. Sage's feet left the ground as one of the mystical balls slammed into her stomach.
Her body came to a halt in mid-air. Glory pulled her own arm closer to her body causing Sage to float toward her. Sage quickly found it difficult to breathe as Glory tightened her hand into a fist. She started to black out from the lack of oxygen to her brain.
Suddenly she felt the concrete against her body as she was dropped from the air. Her vision came back to her slowly, but she thought she could see Jade and Glory. Sage tried to call out to her sister, but she couldn't find her voice. Someone yelled something that sounded like Latin, and then there was a blinding flash of light.
Sage sat up slowly as her vision came back to her fully. She blinked a couple of times and felt someone grab onto her hand. Pretty soon she found herself standing.
"Are you okay? "Jade asked.
"Oh yeah. Just p-peachy. "Sage said managing a smile.
"Was that Glory? "Jade question.
Sage massaged her throat gently. "Yeah. I-I think she thought I was mom. She said a lot about p-power draining, and fingers in the brain. It was w-weird. Did I mention I really didn't l-like her? "
"No, but we should probably go tell the others. "Jade stated.
"But what about William? He's the reason I-I came out here. "Sage whined.
"He'll be fine, but we have to go tell mom and the others. "Jade said grabbing Sage's hand and dragging her back to the Magic Box.

Magic Box
The bell above the door jingled for about the seventh time that day as Jade and Sage ran in. The two of them searched the room looking for someone they could tell the news too.
"Hello?! People! We have important information! "Jade yelled.
Jenn poked her head out from behind a bookshelf. Sage quickly wiped the rest of the blood from her nose.
"What the hell happened?! "Jenn shouted running toward them. "Did you two get into an uber catfight or something? "
"You could say that. "Sage smiled, but instantly regretted it. A large bruise started to form on the corner of her mouth. "Except you know, t-take out Jade and replace her with Glory. "
"Oh my God! Giles's calculations were wrong! "Jenn yelled.
Sage looked slightly offended.
Jenn smiled. "I mean... Oh my God! Glory attacked you! Are you all right? "
"Thank you so much f-for caring Jenn. I'm okay. Maybe a c-cracked rib. If Jade hadn't of showed up, I would have been p-pretty much smushed. "
Crystal popped out from behind the sales counter. "I'm telling your dad you swore. "
"Big fricken whoop. "Jenn stated and turned her attention back to the twins.
"Where is everyone? "Sage asked.
"At Giles's. They said they needed to discuss ADULT things. "Jenn said using her fingers as quotation marks around the word adult.
"They're probably over there fucking each other senseless. "Crystal mumbled.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?! "Jenn bellowed, turning around. " I am so telling your mom and dad what you just said. "
Crystal dropped down to the floor. Her knees cracked loudly as they hit the tiles. "Please no! Jenn! Please don't! The last time I repeated one of your words they grounded me for like three months! "
"That's your fault. You should have thought twice before opening your mouth. "Jenn turned around to face the twins again. "Any who. We should probably call over there. They'll want to know what's going on. "
Jenn sprinted over to the counter, leaping over Crystal in the process. She picked up the phone, then sat it back on the hook. "Um... You should probably call, since I have no idea what happened. "

Giles's Apartment

Everyone sat around the coffee table in Giles's living room. Willow sat on Tara's lap with a book open in her own. She looked up from it briefly and stared at the aged Watcher. "What book did Wesley read the prophecy from? 'Cause me being logic girl and all, it would probably be in that book. "
"I don't know, Willow. That's why we're looking through the books. " Giles said removing his glasses.
Xander placed a hand on his forehead. "Isn't this what we had kids for? "
The phone rang before anyone could answer him. Xander stood up from the couch and walked over to the desk where the phone sat. He grabbed the English styled phone and placed it over his ear. "Hello? "He paused for a minute to let the other person talk. "Yeah. Just a minute. "
Xander placed the phone on his chest. "Giles. The phone for you. "
Giles stood up and walked over to Xander. He grabbed the phone and placed it on his own chest. "Who is it? "
"It sounds like Sage. "Xander stated and returned to his seat next to Anya on the couch.
Willow perked up at the sound of her daughter's name.
Giles placed the phone over his ear. "Hello? "There was a small pause and Giles spoke again. "Glory what?! "
Willow jumped off of Tara's lap and raced over to Giles. She grabbed the cord first, and then grabbed the middle of the phone between the two ends. Giles pulled back. Willow pulled back with one last tug and successfully wrestled the phone away from Giles. She placed it over to her ear. "Are you ok? Did she hurt you? Is your sister ok? "

Magic Box
"Whoa, mom, calm d-down. I'm fine. Bloody nose, maybe a c-cracked rib. Nothing a little m-meditation won't fix. J-Jade's okay too. "Sage stuttered. "I think Glory thought I-I was you. She said a lot about power d-draining and fingers in the brain."
There was a long pause, and then Sage spoke again. "Okay m-mom. We'll be careful I-I love you too. Bye. "
Sage hung the phone up and rubbed her ear. "Goddess, mom has a big mouth. "
She walked over to the training room door and opened it. She watched Amy do a summersault through the air, and closed the door behind her as she stepped into the room. Amy looked over at her and smiled.
"Hey. Still no sign of Will? "Amy asked.
"Yep. "Sage smiled. "You probably don't w-want to hear this, but G- Glory attacked. "
"You're right. I didn't want to hear that. "Amy said hitting the punching bag with the back of her right hand. "Are you all right? "
"Yeah. She's tough, Amy. Really t-tough. I had all I could do to h- hold that protection shield over myself. When the b-battle comes, I'll be there. "
Amy smiled before hitting the punching bag again. "Thanks. I don't know what I'd do without you and Jenn around. "
"Probably go c-crazy. "Sage smiled and leaned against the wall. " You're just lucky like that. "
"Lucky? Ha! At least your mom lets you date. I can't even go out for one night. "Amy said still smiling.
"They like Will. Darklyn's the one they don't like. He's mainly the reason for Jade's obsession. Mom k-keeps telling her over and over again, that magic isn't something you mess around with. She's b-been there. Been to the point where she wasn't even able to control h-herself. And Jade just doesn't seem to t-think that it could happen to h-her. "Sage explained.
"I kinda get that. Jade not listening. She's never really been one for the rules. "Amy stated and kicked at the scarecrow that now sported a pair of plastic fangs.
"I'll have to agree w-with you there. She's always kind of played it her way. Mom says she kind of reminds her of your mom when they were our age. " Sage smiled.
"My mom? "Amy stopped her workout and grabbed a towel that was draped over the arm of the old couch. She wiped the moisture from her face. "No way. My mom, rebellious? "
Sage grinned. "From what m-mom says, yeah. Way with the rebelliousness. "
Amy pulled a blue sweatshirt over her white tank top and tightened her ponytail. "What do you say we go find William? Maybe head over to Giles's. Adult things my ass. They're probably over there drinking tea and talking about whether or not I die today or tomorrow. "
Sage pushed the door open. "You're not going t-to die. "
Jenn stood behind the sales counter, with Crystal helping a customer. Jade sat in a chair, with her large combat boots propped up on the table, and a cigarette hanging out of her mouth. Sage waited until the customer left before she spoke.
"Me and Amy are going to find W-Will and stop by Giles's to see what they're really doing. "She quickly turned her attention to Jade. "And I'm telling mom you're smoking a-again. "
Jade blew smoke out of her mouth and pinched the stick between her index finger and her thumb. "I'm so scared. "
Sage rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to Jenn. "Do you think you'll be okay here? "
"We'll be fine. We're in a Magic shop with a kick ass Wicca. I don't think anyone's going to try something again. Not this soon anyway. "Jenn said closing the drawer to the cash register.
Amy stared at Crystal. "You wanna come with? "
"Yeah. Beats sitting around this place. "Crystal stated.
The three girls quickly left the Magic Box. Amy pulled the hood of her sweatshirt over her head. Sage looked at her strangely.
"What are you d-doing? "
"Well. If Glory thought that you were your mom... "Amy said checking to see where Crystal was.
Sage pulled the hood of her sweatshirt up too. "Good t-thinking. "
The three of them walked down the sidewalk, pushing through the people.
"We should probably check my house first. "Amy suggested.
"That's where I was going before Glory kicked my b-butt. "Sage stuttered, watching her language.
"Don't you mean ass? "Crystal asked.
Amy ignored her.

1630 ReVello Drive
Amy jogged up the few front steps that led to the porch. Sage followed closely behind, leaving Crystal to bring up the rear. Amy stopped and opened the door. All three of the girls entered the house, and Crystal closed the door behind them.
"William are you here?! "Amy shouted.
"In the kitchen! "William yelled back.
Sage took off running. She ran through the dinning room and into the kitchen. William stood there leaning against the counter. Sage jumped into his arms and kissed him numerous times on the mouth. They finally separated and William sat Sage on her feet.
"I was so worried. After I-I was attacked by Glory, I- "
"You were attacked by Glory! Did she hurt you? "William interrupted.
"Now you're starting to sound like my m-mom. "Sage smiled. "Yes, I'm f-fine. A little sore, but other than t-that, everything's peachy. "
William brought his mouth to Sage's once more. He opened his mouth slightly allowing the kiss to become more passionate. William ran his fingers through Sage's shoulder length hair. Amy walked into the kitchen and closed her eyes instantly.
"Okay. Not exactly something I want to see my brother doing. Or my best friend doing. Especially together. "
William smiled in mid kiss. He broke away from Sage and smiled apologetically at his sister.
"We're heading over to Giles's. They said they were doing ADULT things. "Amy stated.
"So in other words, they're drinking tea and eating scones without us. "
"Probably. "Amy smiled.
"Come on guys! "Crystal shouted from somewhere out by the front door.
The three teens in the kitchen quickly made their way out the front door with Crystal following closely behind them.
Magic Box
Jade lit another cigarette and took a long drag from it. She blew the smoke into the air and swung her feet off of the table. Jenn handed a customer their purchases and thanked them. The bell jingled as they left.
"So Jenn. What should we talk about? We just know how much we love each other. "
"Shut up Jade. "Jenn snapped.
Jade smiled. She had managed to get under the younger teen's skin all ready. "Ooh. Why so testy? Did I offend you in any way? 'Cause if I did, let me know... So I can do it again. "
"I said shut up Jade. "Jenn snapped again.
"I must be getting down there pretty deep. "Jade stood up from her chair and strolled over to the counter. She placed both hands down on the glass. and blew smoke into Jenn's face.
Jenn coughed slightly, and Jade laughed.
"I love to see you squirm. "
Jenn reeled her fist back and slammed in into Jade's nose. The cigarette flew out of the young Wicca's mouth and she clutched her bleeding nose.
"Bitch! "Jade screamed.
"I'm glad you've realized your problem. "Jenn sneered.

Outside of Giles's Apartment
Amy raised her fist to knock, but the door opened. Giles stood in front of her with his glasses off, looking extremely stressed.
"Giles, what's wrong? "Amy asked her Watcher.
"Nothing that you need to worry about right now. Come in. "He moved out of the way and let the four of them in.
Books were stung across the entire apartment. Dawn, Chris and Anya all sat on the couch with piles of books beside them. Buffy, Willow, and Xander all sat in separate chairs reading books. Tara sat on Willow's lap with a book also.
"Why with the heavy research mode? "Amy asked.
"Because, we're checking to see if that prophecy is right. "Any replied. "Would you like to look through the other three million books we have yet to get to? "
"Um... No thanks. "William responded.
Crystal ran over to Dawn and Chris and sat between them. She looked at the large, black, lumpy object on the coffee table and pointed at it. " What the fuck is that? "
Dawn looked toward her daughter enraged. "What the fuck did you just say? "
"You said it too! "Crystal yelled Tears threatened to fall from her eyes.
Chris smiled and laughed slightly. Dawn smacked him on the shoulder.
"I suppose you think it's funny? "
"Well...Um...No. "He turned his attention to Crystal. "You're grounded. For...Er... Three weeks. "
Dawn looked at her daughter. "A month and three weeks. "
"You're such a bitch! "Crystal yelled as she got up and ran for the door.
"Make that six months and three weeks! "Dawn shouted as her daughter slammed the door closed.
Dawn sighed heavily and cradled her face in her hands. "I give up. "
"I don't know, but I really don't think she should be out there by herself with Glory looking for her. "Amy stated.
"Probably. "Sage stated. She slowly turned to look Amy in the face. "You know what I just realized? "
"What? "Amy questioned.
"We left Jenn and J-Jade alone. "Sage stuttered.
"You left them alone? Together? "Willow asked. "Someone's gotta get down there before they rip each other's throats out."
"We'll go back. "William stated grabbing Sage's hand.
Suddenly the front door flew off of its hinges. Glory stepped through the hole straightening her hair. "Where's the kid? "
Amy jumped back abruptly. She lowered herself into a position so that when she ran at Glory, she could easily flip her over her shoulder. Amy charged at Glory. The God flicked her wrist at Amy as she closed in on her. Amy flew across the room and slammed into the wall. She fell to the ground unconscious.
Sage lowered her head and started to whisper a few things in Samarian. Her feet left the ground and her eyes turned solid black. Blue energy crackled all around her. Sage continued to whisper something to herself.
All of the sharp objects in the room rose from their spots. Glory threw her head back and laughed.
"You really think that's gonna work? "
Sage threw her arms outward sending all of the objects flying at Glory. The God laughed as the shards hit her. After they had all passed her, she waved her hand over her body. All of her wounds healed over.
Glory flicked her hand off to the side, and Sage went with it. She slammed into the same wall as Amy with a sickening thud. Her body fell to the ground motionless.
"SAGE! "William shouted.
He let out an inhuman growl as his face morphed into his other half. William rarely ever let that side of him show, because he was ashamed of it. He was half human, half demon. It just wasn't right.
William charged at Glory. Both of them fell to the floor in a tangle of limbs. William drove his fist into Glory's face multiple times. He raised his hand into the air again. His fist plummeted downward. Glory disappeared out from underneath him. His fist drove down into the floor.
"Shit! "William shouted.
He pulled his hand out of the floor and watched the blood trickle down. He quickly remembered Sage and got off of the floor. William ran over to Willow and Tara who sat on their knees next to Sage.
Amy's eyes slowly started to flicker open. She placed a hand on her head and groaned. William returned to his human face and dropped down to his knees next to Sage. He placed two fingers on the side of her neck and searched for a pulse He could not find one. William pulled Sage's arms down to her side.
He pumped down on her chest carefully. William pinched Sage's nose closed and blew oxygen into her body through her mouth. He pumped down on her chest once more and blew more oxygen into her body. Tears rolled down his face as he checked for a pulse again. Still there was no sign of life.
William pumped on her chest three more times. He pinched her nose closed and blew into her mouth. He felt for a pulse one last time. There was nothing. William turned around and faced Willow and Tara. His face was expressionless. Willow let more tears fall down her face as she buried herself into Tara's arms.
Sage started coughing uncontrollably. William whipped back around to face his girlfriend. Sage rolled over on her hands and knees and continued to cough. She heaved slightly and liquid came up. Sage breathed heavily as she tried to calm herself down.
William grabbed onto Safe and held onto her tightly. Sage sobbed heavily. William ran his hand over her soft hair.
"It's ok. You're ok. "William soothed.
"Oh my g-god. I-I-I was so s-scared. I-I-I didn't think I-I'd ever be able t-to see you again. "Sage cried.
William continued to rub his hand over her hair. "But you did see me again. You're okay. "
He pushed her away gently and brought his lips to her forehead. They stared at each other for a few seconds and finally Sage rested herself against his body.
"Someone should really go find Crystal. "Giles said collecting a few of the scattered books.
"I will. "William volunteered.
"And you should probably swing by and pick up Jenn and Jade before the kill each other. "Giles added.
Buffy tossed William the keys to her Jeep. William grabbed them out of the air and stared at Sage. "Do you want to come with? "
"Yeah. I should probably clean up my mess first though. "She said starring at what she had thrown up all over Giles's floor.
"Don't worry about it. I'll clean it up. "Willow said heading for the kitchen.
William stood up and helped Sage to her feet. The two of them slowly made their way out of Giles's apartment. William hit one of the buttons on the key ring and the doors unlocked. He opened the passenger's side and helped Sage in. He closed the door and ran around to the other side.
William got in and started the truck. He made sure there were no other cars and he backed out of the parking spot that his mother had awkwardly parked in. William straightened out the wheels and put the Jeep in drive. They pulled forward and Sage turned the radio on. William waited until a car went by before pulling out into the road.
Sage waited for a few seconds before speaking. "Thank you. For s- saving my life."
William took his hand off of the steering wheel and squeezed Sage's hand. "You're welcome. "
He cranked the wheel over to the right, and sped up as they turned onto ReVello.
"Do you really think s-she came down here? "Sage asked.
"I don't know. That's why they call it looking. "William stated. He put his other hand back on the wheel and looked around in front of him.
"Is that h-her? "Sage asked pointing to a smaller person about the same height as Crystal.
As they approached Crystal became more clear to them. William pulled off to the side of the road and rolled his window down. He stuck his head out of the opening and stared at his cousin. "Crystal! Over here! "
Crystal looked up to see Buffy's yellow Jeep a few feet ahead of her. She jogged over to it, and climbed into the backseat. She pulled the black seatbelt around her and buckled it up.
William turned around to face her. "We know how pissed off you are at your mom, but you have to come back to Giles's with us. Glory attacked, and she was looking for you. "
"Did she hurt you? "Crystal asked as William pulled back out into the road.
"Not me, but Amy got a good crack in the head, and Sage almost died. "William stated.
"Not very f-fun. "Sage stuttered.
William turned his blinker on and they started to slow down. He looked over at Sage for a brief second. "If you wouldn't have done that spell, she wouldn't have attacked you. "
"If I-I wouldn't have d-done that spell, she would have attacked us all. "Sage said raising her voice slightly.
"Hey, all I'm saying is that it was a stupid move. "William defended as the car came to a complete stop.
"Oh. So now I'm s-stupid? "Sage asked angrily. "Let me out of the t-truck. "
"Sage... "William started.
"I said let me out. "Sage said more forcefully, without a trace of stutter.
William unlocked the door, and Sage threw it open. She jumped out and slammed it closed before William could say anything else.
William slammed his hands down on the steering wheel. "Damn it! " He cranked the wheel all the way over to the left and sped up.

Ten Minutes Later, Giles's Apartment
Sage stomped through the still broken door of Giles's apartment. She looked around to see that everyone had left. She slumped through the house and plopped down on the couch. Sage brought her knees up to her chest, and wrapped her arms around them. Little sobs escaped from her.
"Will, is that you? Did you and Sage find Crystal? "Buffy asked as she emerged from somewhere down the hallway.
She quickly spotted Sage and walked over to the couch. She sat down next the young witch and ran her hand over her shiny hair. "What's wrong? "
"Nothing. "Sage stated. She tried to suck air in through her nose, but found it difficult.
"Yes there is. Did you fight with Will? "Buffy pressed.
Sage nodded her head and cried harder. Buffy held the younger girl against her side.
"I know fighting sucks, but you'll be back together and all couply within a few hours. "Buffy stated.
Sage lay her head on Buffy's shoulder and sighed.

Magic Box
William stormed through the front door causing the bell to jingle louder than usual. "How... When did I become so stupid? "
"Probably the day you were born. "Jenn stated sarcastically.
William glared at her. "I didn't ask for your opinion. "
"Jeez, I think someone woke up on the wrong side of the universe this morning. "Jenn shot back.
"Yeah. Whatever. Go get in the truck. We've got to get back to Giles's. "
Jenn locked the back door and the cash register. She walked out from behind the counter, and stepped up onto the tiny step that separated the books and the magical ingredients. Jenn quickly left the Magic Box, flipping the "Yes we're open "sign to "Sorry we're closed. "
Jade got out of her chair and walked over to William seductively. She stood in front of him and played with his shirt collar. "Why so tense? "
"Jade don't. "William stated.
Jade brought her mouth closer to William's. "Don't what? "

Outside Front Door
Jenn watched as Sage's twin got closer to William. She watched as Jade planted her lips on William's, and she watched as William kissed her back. Her eyes grew large. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Jenn ran back over to the truck and threw the back door open. Crystal stared at her strangely.
"What the hell is your problem? Oh shit! I mean oh crap! Don't tell! "Crystal pleaded.
Jenn rolled her eyes. "I won't tell, if you sit here and be good. If William or Jade asks you where I am, tell them...Tell them I went back home. Got it. Lie for me, I won't tell. "
Crystal put her hand over her heart. "I promise. "
"Ok. Be good. "Jenn slammed the door behind her and took off running for Giles's apartment complex.

Being on the track team had it's advantaged. Trees, bushes, and houses all blurred by as Jenn ran. She hopped over some bushes and burst trough the broken door that led into Giles's apartment.
She collapsed to the floor, but slowly pushed herself up. Jenn brushed her hair out of her face and looked around the room. Sage and William sat on the couch together. Jade sat in a chair with her legs crossed like a guy. Crystal sat on the floor. All of them were all ready there. She must have missed Buffy's Jeep in the parking lot.
"So you went home? "Jade asked.
Jenn glared at her. She walked over to the couch and grabbed Sage's arm. "We need to talk for a second. "
Sage got off of the couch and followed Jenn out of the house.

Jenn and Sage both sat down on the bench outside of the apartment. Sage looked over at Jenn with a concerned expression.
"What's up? "
"Sage, I don't know how to tell you this, but I saw... "
Sage sat there nervously. "Jenn, what d-did you see? "
Jenn took a deep breath. "I saw William kissing Jade. At the Magic Box. I-I went back to see if I had locked everything, and they were there. "
Sage stood up quickly. She bolted back into the apartment and pointed at William. "Oh yeah! You love me so fucking m-much. "
William looked dumbfounded. "Whoa, calm down. Sage, what's wrong? "
"You know what's wrong? "Sage shouted. She turned and faced Jade. " And you! You son of a bitch! I'm going to k-kick your ass! "
"W-w-w-w-w-what was that? "Jade mocked.
Buffy, Willow, and Tara came running down the stairs. Willow stepped toward Sage. "Sweetie, what's wrong? "
"Oh nothing! Except my EX boyfriend is and ass and my sister's a bitch! "
Jade stood up ready to fight. Sage ran toward her. Tara stepped between the two girls and held her hands out. Both of the girls feet left the ground.
"All right! Both of you calm down! "Tara waved her hand and Jade's feet hit the ground. "Stay there. "
She lowered her other hand until Sage's feet hit the ground. "Ok. Now someone please tell me what is going on. "
"Well see, we were at the- "Jade stated
"Jenn said she saw Jade- "Sage said.
"All right stop! "Tara yelled. "Jenn, tell me what happened. "
Jenn looked nervous. "Um...Well... You see, William swung by the Magic Box to pick me and Jade up, to bring us over here. William was cranky so we argued a little bit. And he was all like ' Go get in the truck ' so I did. "
Buffy stepped closer to her son and Willow stepped closer to her other daughter. Jenn continued to speak.
"Well, I went back to make sure I had locked everything and...Um- "
Tara looked annoyed. "Jenn. What happened? "
"Well...Um... Jade and William were making out. "
Buffy and Willow moved their hands at the same time. Buffy's hand collided with the back of William's head, and Willow's connected with Jade's.
Tears welled up in Sage's eyes. She pointed at William. "I hate you. "Then she pointed at Jade. "And I-I really hate you. "
Sage ran out the front door of Giles's apartment. Jenn looked at Tara.
"Can I go? "
Tara shook her head. "Go. "
Jenn took off after Sage.
Willow stared at her rebellious daughter. "You're grounded. "
"Mom! "Jade shouted.
"I don't want to hear it! You're grounded for the rest of the year. "Willow stated angrily. "You owe a MAJOR apology to your sister. No wait. In fact you get to do all of her choirs for the rest of the year, and no magic. If I find out that you've done a single spell over your grounding, I'll bind your powers. "
"Mom! "Jade shouted again.
"I said I don't want to hear it! "Willow yelled. "You screwed up. Not me. Do I make myself clear? "
"Yes. "Jade mumbled softly.
"I said do I make myself clear? "Willow asked again.
"Yes! "Jade yelled loudly. She got up out of her chair and headed for the door. Tara raised her hand and floated Jade back to the chair.
"Sit your ass down. Don't move. "Tara stated firmly.
Jade sat down with an unhappy grunt. She crossed her arms over her chest and stared at the wall.
Buffy turned her attention to her son. "Go home. "
"But mom- "
"I said go home! "Buffy yelled.
William stood up from the couch and grabbed his coat. "This is bullshit. "
"We'll talk punishments when I get home. "Buffy called after him. She ran her hands through her hair and sighed. "They're going to drive me insane. "
Tara stood by the door whispering some kind of incantation. A blue shield hovered in the air above the door. She turned her attention to the only teenager left in the room "You so much as put a finger on this barrier...Look at me when I'm talking to you."
Jade turned her head toward her mother nonchalantly. Tara continued talking.
"Don't look at me like that. You touch this barrier; I will bind your powers to a place where you'll never be able to get them back. "
"Whatever. "Jade said rolling her eyes.
"Yeah. Whatever. "Tara repeated.
Crystal ran over to Buffy and latched onto her. Buffy ran her hand over Crystal's shiny brown hair. "Come on. Let's go see where everyone else is. "
The two of them left searching for Dawn, Chris, Anya, Xander, and Giles. Tara still stared at Jade. Willow walked up behind her and grabbed her hand. She leaned over to her ear and began to whisper.
"I'm going with Buffy and Crystal, ok. "
Tara nodded her head and leaned back to kiss Willow. Willow let go of Tara's hand as she walked away. Tara continued to stare at Jade.
Jade stared back. "What? "
"Your ass is going to stay in that chair until we decided to leave. "Tara stated firmly.
Jade rolled her eyes again. Tara sighed and left the room in search of the others.

Jenn ran quickly to catch up with Sage. Her tennis shoes clanked loudly against the cement.
"Sage! Wait up! Please, Sage! "Jenn yelled.
Sage stopped and turned around. "What?! What do you w-want? "
Jenn stood next to Sage and panted slightly. "Sage calm down, please. I know you're upset but- "
"Upset? Yeah I'm upset! It's not everyday you l-learn that your boyfriend is cheating on you with your s-sister! "Sage shouted. Tears poured down her face.
Jenn pulled Sage in quickly. Sage completely lost it. They both sank down to their knees. Jenn gently stroked Sage's back.
"I'm sorry Sage, I shouldn't have told you. I'm sorry. "Jenn stated.
Sage continued to cry. "No. I'm g-glad you d-did. "
Sage's sobs grew smaller. Both teens slowly stood up. William's boots thudded loudly behind them. Jenn turned around and screwed up her face.
"What the hell do you want? "Jenn asked angrily.
"To talk to Sage. "William stated calmly.
"Stay the h-hell away from me! "Sage shouted.
William looked hurt. "Sage, please. We need to talk. "
"I said stay away from me! "Sage threw both of her hands out.
William flew backward as an invisible force shoved him. Sage took off running.
Jenn stared at William angrily. "Thanks a lot. "With that said she took off running after Sage again.

Everyone decided that it would be best if they left Jade alone. All of the gang had relocated to upstairs in the loft of Giles's apartment. Buffy sat on a small couch next to the older Watcher, Tara sat on Willow's lap in a chair that looked as if it had seen it's better days, Xander and Anya sat together on another couch, and Dawn and Chris sat with Crystal between them against the far wall. The younger of the two Slayers paced back and forth nervously.
A loud crash followed by Jade's scream came from downstairs.
"I didn't do it! I didn't do it! "Jade yelled loudly.
Tara jumped off of Willow's lap and ran toward the stairs. She took the steps two at a time as she ran for her daughter. "Jade! Are you all right? "
There was no answer. Tara landed on the floor next to the barrier. Glory stood on the other side.
"Give me the damn kid! That's all I want! And then you can go back to you boring pathetic little human- "Glory's attention shifted over to Tara. "Hey I know you. You had a lot of interesting thoughts. Mind if I take another look? "
"Fuck off. "Tara's voice was cold.
Glory stared at her, then pounded her fists on the barrier. The barrier fell, leaving nothing between Tara and the God. "I really don't think that's any way to talk to someone. "
Glory extended her fist quickly. It connected with Tara's face. Tara flew backward at a rapid pace. Her whole body slammed in the back wall with a loud thud.
"Mom! "Jade shouted, fear filled her voice.
Glory stepped though the door, as Buffy, Amy, and Willow reached the bottom of the stairs. Willow looked over at Tara's limp body lying against the far wall, and a bubble of rage burst within her.
Willow lowered her head and began to chant a few words in Latin. An invisible wind blew up from nowhere. Glory placed her hands on her hips, and tapped her godly foot.
"Getting really bored, really fast. "Glory sneered.
She lurched her fist upward catching Willow in the jaw. The red headed witch sailed back up the stairs, narrowly missing Buffy and Amy. Buffy and Amy stared at each other for a quick second, then dove at Glory at the same time. All of them went down in a pile of limbs.
Glory thrust both of her hands up, sending both Slayers up into the air. She stood up and brushed the wrinkles out of her dress. "All right! I get that you're not going to give up the kid without a fight! I'll go. But this wont be the last time you see me. "
Glory turned around and left the apartment. Amy stood up and ran toward Jade and Tara. Jade crouched over her mother's still form. Tears streaked down her face. Amy dropped to her knees and slid to the two witches.
She pressed two fingers to Tara's throat and began to search for a pulse. A strong one surged through the older Witch's body. Amy sighed with relief.
"She's just knocked out. "Amy said joyfully.
Jade wiped the tears from her face and tried to breathe through her nose. She nodded her head, and watched Amy pick her mom up. Amy carried Tara over to Giles's couch and laid her down.
Willow ran down the stairs quickly, followed by Xander. She searched the room for Tara as she wiped the blood from her lip. "Where is she? " She asked Buffy nervously. "Buffy! Where's Tara? Did Glory take her? "
Buffy grabbed onto her best friend's shoulders. "Will, she's on the couch. She's okay. A little bloody, but okay. "
Willow's heart skipped a beat as she ran to the couch. She dropped down to her knees on the carpeted floor in front of Tara's face. Crimson stained Tara's porcelain skin. Willow brushed the back of her hand across Tara's face. Xander stood next to Buffy and rocked back and forth on his heels. He looked toward the older Slayer and a panicked expression passed over his face.
"I just realized there's a practically unstoppable God out there with Jenn and Sage. "
Buffy's eyes grew wide. "Oh God. "
Xander grabbed his keys out of his pocket and ran out the front door. Buffy chased after him. Both of them hopped into Xander's blazer and drove off.

Willow and Tara's House
Sage unlocked the front door and pushed it open. She and Jenn entered the house quickly and closed the door behind them.

Xander's Blazer
Xander pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and handed it to Buffy, as he whipped around the corner. "Here. Call Willow and Tara's. See if they are there. "
Buffy nodded her head, and dialed the phone number to Willow and Tara's house. She let the phone ring a few times, before someone picked it up. "Sage? "
"No Jenn. What's wrong Buffy? "The youngest teen asked.
"Glory attacked again. Are you guys okay? "Buffy asked as she put the death grip on the armrest.
"Yeah. We're fine. Is everyone else okay? "Jenn asked.
"Tara's knocked out, Willow's lip is busted open. Other than that, we're all right. Me and your dad are on our way to get you guys. We need to stick together. Tell Sage we'll be over there in about five minutes. "
Buffy flipped the lid of the cell phone down and handed it back to Xander. He stuffed it back into his pocket and whipped around another corner.

Willow and Tara's House
Jenn ran down the hallway and into Sage's room. Sage's room looked like your normal teenager's bedroom. The walls were painted black, posters of Sage's favorite bands were hung on the walls, and the floor was partially visible. Jenn stared at one of her best friends.
"Glory attacked again. She knocked out Tara and gave Willow a bloody lip. My dad and Buffy are on their way to get us...They're probably going to have to pick up William too. Buffy said we have to stick together. " Jenn took a breath and waited for a response.
"If he's going to be t-there, then I'm not going. I'd rather let Glory k-kill me before I get close to him again. "Sage sneered.
"Sage grow up! "Jenn shouted.
Sage looked hurt. "I'm sorry. "
"No. Don't pull this sorry shit with me. I'm your best friend, and I'm going to tell you like it is. Grow up. You're going to get in that truck whether he's in there or not. I don't care if I have to sit on you. " Jenn stated.
Sage stared at her nervously. A horn beeped from outside, breaking the tension. They walked out of Sage's bedroom and headed for the front door. Sage locked the door as they left the house. The two girls quickly made their way over to Xander's blazer.
Sage threw the backdoor open to find that William wasn't there. She released her breath that she hadn't realized that she had been holding, and climbed into the truck. She and Jenn closed their doors at the same time, and Xander whipped out of the driveway, narrowly missing the mailbox. His tires squealed loudly as he sped off down the road.

Giles's Apartment
Anya walked out of the bathroom carring a moistened cloth. She handed it to Willow and sat down in a chair. Crystal walked over to her and crawled up in her lap. Willow carefully wiped the cloth across Tara's face. Tiny cuts were revealed around her face as Willow wiped the blood away.
Willow folded the cloth in half and continued to wipe the blood from her wife's face. The front door creaked as William pushed on it angrily.
"I don't know what the hell is going on. My mom called me and told me to get my ass down here. No questions asked. "
Anya stared up at him. "We're so glad you could join us. "
William flashed her a wry smile. He walked over to Giles's desk and sat down in the wooden swivel chair. Xander and Buffy walked through the still broken front door followed by Jenn. Jenn grabbed Sage's hand and pulled her into the apartment.
William propped his feet up on the desk and stared at Sage as she walked by. Sage ignored him. She moved on autopilot as she made her way over to the couch where her moms were.
"Is s-she going to be okay? "Sage asked.
Willow nodded her head and wiped the last bit of blood from Tara's face. "She should be. "
"So, is there a reason why we're crammed in this apartment with all the people we love? "Jade asked sarcastically.
Willow glared at her, still obviously irked by her daughter's earlier actions. "Just sit there and keep your mouth shut. Do you think you can handle that? "
Jade slumped down in her chair further. "Whatever. "
"I said keep your mouth shut! Goddess! I've had it with you! You've always got to have the last word, don't you? Say one more word, make one more sound, I'll bind your powers for good, forbid you to date whoever the hell it is you're dating this week, and ground you for the rest of your life! "
Jade started to open her mouth again, but let what her mother said sink in. Giles walked down the steps slowly. He rounded the bottom of the stairs and entered the living room. Crystal jumped off of Anya's lap and ran up the stairs to her mom and dad. Giles removed his glasses and rested his arm at his side.
"All right. Amy, I'm going to have to ask you to patrol tonight. Try to find out where Glory is staying. But please take someone with you. "
Amy looked over at Sage. "You up for patrol? "
"Sure. "Sage replied, happy to be getting something to take her mind off William.
Amy turned her attention to Jenn. "How 'bout you? "
"I'm in. "Jenn said smiling.
"Don't stay out too late. Remember, you do have school in the morning. "Giles stated.
The sun started to set, and Amy's watch beeped. She looked down at it and smiled. "5:38. Sunset. We're gone. "
Amy grabbed a couple of stakes from Giles's weapon chest, tossed one to Jenn, one to Sage, and kept one for herself. Jenn hugged Xander and Anya quickly and ran over to Amy who stood by what used to be the door. Sage hugged Willow, pulled the hood of her sweatshirt up, and joined Amy and Jenn.
"Be careful. "Giles warned. "If anything happens- "
Jenn whipped her cell phone out of the side pocket of her jeans. "If something tries to eat our head off, I'll call. "
Anya smiled at her daughter's sarcasm. The three girls quickly made their way out of the apartment. Sage and Amy interlocked arms as the strolled out of the courtyard. Jenn followed closely behind them. Amy shoved her stake into the front pouch of her sweatshirt with her free arm. She felt Sage rest her head on her shoulder and looked down at one of her best friends.
"Are you doing ok? "Amy asked. Concern filled her voice.
"Yes and no. More with t-the no. "Sage replied.
"I'm really sorry for his actions. "
"Don't be sorry. It's n-not your fault he's a jerk. "Sage retorted.

Jenn picked her pace up and slipped her arm through Sage's free one. Amy turned to the youngest of the three and smiled.
"Why do I feel like we should be skipping and singing ' We're off to see the Wizard.' "
"I don't know. "She pulled her jacket around her and shivered. " Why is it so fricken cold? We're in California? "
"I don't know. It has been chilly lately. Maybe it has something to do with Glory." Amy suggested.
Amy felt her stomach muscles tighten together and she released her grip from Sage. She look around, searching for any sign of vampires.
"What's wrong? "Jenn asked setting her hand on her cell phone.
"Shh! "Amy snapped.
Amy cringed slightly, as her stomach muscles tightened even more. She sucked in air tightly as she tried to concentrate.
Sage stepped up next to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Amy, are you okay?"
"No. I don't know what's- "Amy doubled over and heaved. She felt the hot liquid come up her throat and gagged.
"Oh my God! Amy what's wrong? "Jenn shouted.
Amy coughed several times, and heaved again. "It hurts. Oh God it hurts. "
Sage crouched down to Amy's level, avoiding the mess on the grass. " Amy, what h-hurts? "
"My whole body. "Amy coughed and threw up again.
Jenn ran her hand up and down Amy's back. Sage stood up slowly. She closed her eyes, and listened to the world around her. She could hear Amy throwing up again, crickets chirping off in the distance, bats fluttering above their heads, and someone whispering an incantation.
She automatically began chanting a counter curse. She felt Jenn tap her on her shoulder's and opened her eyes quickly.
"What are you doing? "Jenn asked.
"Someone's whispering an in-incantation of some kind. I'm trying to do a counter curse. "Sage explained.
Amy pulled her wavy blond hair out of the way and expelled the contents of her stomach once again. She coughed heavily three times, before losing it. Red liquid lay within the rest of the mess. "Oh God. "
Jenn stared down at the blood on the ground. "Oh God. Sage hurry up! She's throwing up blood, and I think that might be cheerios, but that's not the point. "

Sage closed her eyes and started to whisper her incantation faster. Jenn held Amy's hair out of the way as she threw up more blood.
"I'm gonna call Giles's and talk to your mom. "Jenn said pulling her cell phone out.
She quickly flipped the top up and punched in the numbers. She held the phone to her ear and waited as it rang. Buffy's voice chimed through her ear. "Hello? "
"Buffy! Amy's throwing up like crazy! Something's making her sick! Sage is working on a counter incantation, but Buffy, she's throwing up blood and I'm scared. "Jenn said on the edge of hysteria.
"Where are you guys? "Buffy asked.
"We're on the corner of Hope and Main. By Whetherly Park. "Jenn cried. She watched as Amy hurled up more blood, and cringed.
"All right. I'm on my way. "
The phone went dead, and Jenn stuffed it back into her pocket. She rubbed her hand up and down Amy's back soothingly. "Your mom's on the way. You're gonna be okay. "
Sage flew backward and slammed into Jenn. Both girls lay sprawled out on the ground a few feet away from Amy. Glory stepped out from somewhere in the dark.
"This is going to fun. "
Sage stood up quickly and wiped the blood from her nose. "What do you w-want from us? We don't have Crystal!
"I know. I'm just working my way there. "Glory smiled.
Amy threw up again and Glory laughed.
"Aww. The Slayer not feeling well? How do you expect to fight my now? "
An orangey sphere crashed into Glory sending her backward. Sage smiled at her accomplishment and ran to stand next to Amy. "She doesn't h- have to. Take the incantation off of her. "
Glory stood up. "And what are you going to do if I- "
Glory went sailing through the air again as Buffy's Jeep slammed into her. Buffy pulled the stick down into park and jumped out. She ran over to her daughter and grabbed Sage's shoulder.
"Can you reverse this? "
"No. "Sage shook her head. "But my moms could. We have to g-get back to Giles's. I know they can d-do something to lift this off of her. She's t-thrown up a lot of blood. "
Buffy grabbed onto her daughter's arm, and helped her bend back up. The four of them quickly made their way over to the Jeep, allowing one stop so Amy could throw up again. Jenn opened the door to the passenger's side, and got out of the way so that Buffy and Sage could help Amy get in. Amy slid onto the leather seat easily. Her face was pale and she looked like she could pass out at any minute. Sage closed the door quickly and she and Jenn got into the back.
Buffy ran around the front of the truck and yanked the door open. She slid into the seat, closed the door, and yanked the stick down into drive. Buffy pulled forward making the back tires kick up dirt and grass. She circled around quickly and made her way out into the road.
Amy turned her head, and stared at her mother blankly. Her face was pasty from sweating. Buffy rolled the window down, and Amy stuck her head out. Hot liquid bubbled up her throat again.
"You know if you get any of that in or on the car, you're cleaning it up. "Buffy stated as she whipped around a corner without using her blinker.
Amy coughed a few more times, before heaving again. The cool night air felt good on her face.
Buffy yanked the steering wheel to the right. The vehicle went lopsided for a second as Buffy ran over the curb. Amy threw up again and Buffy frowned. She rubbed her hand up and down her daughter's back. "I'm sorry sweetie. "
Buffy parked awkwardly into a parking spot and shut the car off. Sage, Jenn, and Buffy slipped out of the truck quickly. They ran to the passenger's side and helped Amy out. Together the four of them slowly made their way up to the apartment.
The rest of the front door, flung open and Amy lost it again. William stared horrified at the front of his shirt. Sage and Jenn laughed silently to themselves.
Amy stared up at her brother with dazed eyes. "I'm so sorry, Will. "
William moved out of the way and let the four girls into the house. He carefully lifted his shirt over his head, and ran to the bathroom. Buffy quickly led Amy over to the couch. Giles retrieved the trashcan from the kitchen, and set it next to where Amy's head lay on the couch.
Willow and Tara talked about a spell quietly amongst themselves. Amy leaned off of the couch and threw up in the trashcan. Jenn and Sage stood hand-in-hand next to each other behind the couch. Tara pulled a spare hair tie off of her wrist and handed it to Buffy.
Buffy gathered her daughter's hair out of her face, and wrapped the hair tie around it a few times. Amy heaved into the trashcan as Buffy twisted it one last time. Buffy walked down to the end of the couch, picked Amy's legs up, sat down, and put Amy's legs back across her lap. She turned her attention over to Willow. "Do you think you'll be able to lift this? "
"Yeah. But it's going to be tricky. Not tricky in the magic sense, but tricky in the not getting thrown up on sense. "Willow stated smiling.
Amy tried her best to glare at Willow. Her evil look was quickly interrupted be more liquid coming up her throat. She stuck her head in the trashcan and let it out.
Buffy continued her conversation with her best friend. "So you'll be able to lift it? "
"Yeah. Like I said. That will be the easy part. All we have to do is mix a few ingredients together, and get her to keep it down. "
"How are we supposed to do that? "Anya asked. "She loses it every three seconds. "
Amy glared at her too, also to be interrupted by the sudden urge to expel the contents of her stomach.
Willow stood up and started searching through Giles's supplies. She pulled out moon dew, wolfsbane, and mandrake root. Next she grabbed the small bowl and stick that she had often seen Giles use to crush things up with. Willow handed the small bowl and stick to Tara. She crumpled the moon dew up and sprinkled in the wolfsbane. Tara stuffed a mandrake's root into the mix and crushed everything together.
Pretty soon the two had concocted a sweet smelling, green colored, pasty substance. They let Amy throw up again before Willow approached her with a spoonful of the mess. She stuck the spoon in Amy's mouth, and Amy gagged.
Willow stared at her and arched an eyebrow. "Swallow. "
Amy did as she was told, and Xander handed her a glass of water. She sat up slightly and brought the cup to her mouth. Amy gagged slightly as the water went down. She leaned over and threw up in the trashcan. Amy sat up and looked at Willow who stared at her. "Sorry. "
"We're just going to keep trying. "Willow frowned.
Amy coughed and threw up again. Willow walked over to her with another spoonful of the concoction. She put the spoon in Amy's mouth and she swallowed hard. This time she managed to keep it down.
Buffy stood up and ran her fingers through Amy's hair. "Just sleep now. You should feel better when you wake up. "
Amy closed her eyes and quickly drifted to sleep. William strolled out of the bathroom without his shirt on. His body curved along with the shapes of his abs. Sage's mouth fell open, but she quickly remembered that he was no longer her boyfriend.
William pulled his pants up, only to have them sink back down over the rim of his boxers. Willow realized she was staring. She looked away and walked over to Tara. Jenn looked over ay Giles who was carrying a moistened cloth, and a T-shirt for William. He tossed the shirt over to William. William pulled the shirt over his head.
"Giles, do you want me and Sage to continue patrolling? "Jenn asked.
Giles handed the cloth to Buffy who draped it over Amy's forehead. " Heaven's no. Our Slayer is not well, and I don't need you two gallivanting around out there with an unstoppable God. "
"Well, someone needs to go patrolling. We can't just let this uber bitch roam around town. " Jenn stated.
"What was that? "Glory asked as she stepped through the front door.

Buffy stood in front of Amy protectively. "Leave her alone. She's gone through enough. "
"Oh that's not what I want. Where's the kid. "Glory asked.
"That's none of your business. "Giles snapped.
"Okay then, I'll make it my business. "Glory waved her arm out swiftly, making everyone fly backwards.
Willow's body slammed into the wall the hardest. Her head snapped back, cracking against the hard wall. Glory snapped her fingers together and vanished. Buffy stood up quickly. Crystal's scream echoes from upstairs. Glory suddenly appeared by the door again holding an unconscious Crystal in her arms.
"See, all you had to do was give me the kid. "Glory snapped her fingers again and vanished.
Dawn and Chris barreled down the steps two at a time. Buffy placed a hand on her brother-in-laws shoulder, pulling her back. Dawn kept running.
"Buffy, I can't let her be alone out there. I have to find her. "
"And we will. Go find Dawn, and bring- "
"Buffy! Willow's not breathing! "Tara yelled.
Buffy turned around quickly and ran toward her best friend. She cleared a fallen bookshelf easily and landed on her knees next to Willow. Tears stung Tara's eyes and they threatened to fall as she blinked. Buffy searched for a pulse on Willow's neck. There was none.
She tried to force her own tears away. Buffy carefully picked Willow up and carried her out the front door at a run. Tara followed behind her closely. The three of them made their way to Buffy's Jeep. Tara opened the back door and jumped in. She slid all the way over and helped Buffy with Willow. Buffy slammed the door closed, ran around the front, and jumped in. She quickly yanked the stick down into drive and pulled out of the parking lot.
Tara held onto her wife tightly. Tears poured down her cheeks. "Come on Will. Stay with me. "She checked for a pulse again, but found none. " Please Will. Just stay with me. "

Giles's Apartment
Sage paced back and forth nervously. "Is she g-going to be okay? Is my mom going to be o-okay? "
"Who cares. "Jade mumbled.
Sage stormed over to her angrily. "I'm gonna s-slap you up side your f-fucking face! You're such a b-bitch! Mom could d-die and you don't care! "
Xander grabbed Sage by the shoulders. Sage whipped around, ready to defend herself. She seen the sympathy in Xander's remaining eye, and flung herself into his arms. Xander cradled the teen against his chest, and ran his hand over her smooth hair. Sage cried openly. She let heavy sobs escape from her mouth.
Chris pushed through the rubble by the front door with Dawn crying hysterically next to him. He held her tightly against his side. Dawn sank down to her knees, crying harder than before. Chris dropped down in front of her and wrapped his muscular arms around her.
Jade rolled her eyes. She pulled her pack of cigarettes out of the pouch of her sweatshirt and lit one. She took a quick drag from it, and blew the smoke out. "Who cares what happens? I sure as hell don't. "
Giles stormed over to her angrily. He pulled the cigarette out of her mouth and threw it into the trashcan without thinking. Smoke filtered out of the can, but he didn't notice. He grabbed onto the hood of Jade's sweatshirt, and hauled her out of her chair. "I have never in my life met someone who could hate their parents so much, that they didn't care if they died! Go home! "
Jade looked surprised. She had never seen Giles so angry before. She stared at him blankly.
Giles tossed her toward the door. "Now! "
Jade stumbled forward, and stormed out of the apartment. Giles removed his glasses and massaged his temples.

Buffy's Jeep
Buffy whipped around the corner that led into the parking lot of the hospital. Tara touched her fingers to the back of Willow's head. Her fingers quickly became slick with blood.
"Buffy, she's bleeding. "Tara cried.
Buffy pulled into a parking spot and ripped the keys out of the ignition. She jumped out of the Jeep and ran to the back. Tara pushed the door open, and got out. Buffy reached into the backseat of the Jeep and pulled her best friend out. Together the witch and the Slayer raced up to the doors of the hospital.
The doors shot open automatically and Buffy skidded through them. "I need some help! "
A tall, male, blond doctor jogged up to them quickly. He took Willow in his arms and stared at Buffy. "What happened. "
"What happened? Why does it matter what happened? She's not breathing! "Buffy shouted.
The doctor ran quickly toward the emergency room. Tara jogged up behind Buffy,
"They took her to the emergency room. "Buffy sighed.
The two of them walked across the lobby, and toward the waiting room, where they sat next to each other.
Somewhere by Whetherly Park
Jade scuffed her feet against the cement as she dragged herself home. The crickets chirped loudly in the felid off to her right. A bat fluttered around her head. She heard a horn blast from behind her and she turned around to see a black Grand Am following her slowly.
The car pulled up beside her and rolled the window down. "Hey, baby. Need a ride? "
Jade knew the voice belonged to Darklyn. "Yes please. "
The car stopped and she walked around the front of it. She opened the door and slid in next to her boyfriend. Their lips met briefly and Darklyn stepped on the accelerator. He took his eyes off the road and stared at Jade.
"What's wrong baby? "The goth asked.
"Nothing. "Jade lied.
He pulled off of the road and put the car in park. "Jade, tell me what's wrong? "
"I said nothing. "Jade lied again.
Darklyn didn't want to press it any further. He brought his lips to her neck and kissed her several times. Jade grabbed him by both sides of his head, and pulled his mouth to hers. Their mouths slammed into each other's violently. Jade opened her mouth, allowing Darklyn's tongue to enter. Darklyn ran his hands through her hair as this tongue swan through her mouth.
Jade pulled away from Darklyn panting. "Are you ready? "
Darklyn nodded his head, and lifted his shirt over his head.

Giles's Apartment
Xander sat on the couch with Sage in his arms. She had her head rested on his chest with her eyes closed. Xander subconsciously ran his hand over her hair.

Darklyn's Car
Jade slammed her mouth into Darklyn's again. He slowly moved his hand down to the zipper of her pants. Jade continued to kiss him violently, moving her hands through his shoulder length hair. Darklyn unzipped Jade's pants and stuck his hand through the hole.
Jade squealed as her boyfriend massaged her thigh. Her breathing became slightly heavy and she kissed him again. Darklyn bit her bottom lip as she pulled away.
"Wait...I really don't want to lose my virginity in the front seat of your car. "
Darklyn panted just as heavily. "Well, there's always the backseat. "
Jade slammed her fist into her boyfriend's chest "Darklyn! Just take me home. "
The leather crinkled as Darklyn returned to the proper seating position. He pulled the stick down into drive as Jade zipped her pants back up.

Giles's Apartment
Chris paced back and forth nervously. Dawn sat in the corner, isolated in her own thoughts. Chris slammed both of his hands down on the wooded surface of Giles's desk as he past by. Everyone stared at the angry police officer.
He walked over to the coat rack, grabbed his coat, and slung it over his shoulders.
Giles placed a hand on his shoulder. "Where are you going? "
"To find Crystal! I can't just sit here, knowing that she's out there somewhere, scared and alone! "Chris stated.
"Chris, I can't let you go out there by yourself. "
Amy stood up slowly from one of the chairs. She placed all of her weight on the arm of the chair until she regained her balance. "I'll go. "
"Amy, you're in no condition to go anywhere. "Giles snapped.
"Giles this is my cousin we're talking about. I'm going whether you like it or not." Amy said walking over to her Uncle.
Chris grabbed onto her as she started to sway. Her face was paler now. She looked as though she were going to start throwing up again at any minute.
"Amy, I can't let you go. "Chris stated forcefully.
"Too bad. If Glory attacks you, you have no way of protecting yourself. "Amy said as she started to sway again.
Chris placed his hand on her shoulder. "You're not going. "
"You're not my mother. "Amy snapped back.
"No, but I'm your uncle. Amy please stay here and rest. "Chris pleaded.
"I said I'm going. Someone needs to protect you from Glory. "
Chris frowned and pushed past the rubble. Amy followed closely behind him.

Willow and Tara's House
Jade's shirt came over the top of her head as she and Darklyn entered the house. The front room was dark, but they managed to make it down to Jade's bedroom. Jade's room was a total mess. The walls were painted olive green, posters hung at odd angles on the walls, and her bed was completely covered in clothes.
The radio somehow switched on as the two toppled onto the bed. Darklyn kissed the nape of her neck, and she panted heavily. He slid his hands underneath her back and unhooked her bra. He flung it across the room causing the strap to catch on the doorknob.
Darklyn slid his pants down leaving him in his boxers and socks. He crawled over the top of her and kissed various places on her body. Jade allowed her boyfriend to slip her pants off, leaving both of them in their underwear. Darklyn dragged his tongue from her bellybutton, between both of her breasts, and up all the way up to her chin. He kissed her mouth more violently.
The radio blared music that fit the mood perfectly. Rough and Hard. " I like your pants around your feet. I like the dirt that's on your knees. I like the way you still say please, while you're looking up at me. You're like my favorite damn disease..."
Jade let a squeak escape her mouth as Darklyn slid her underwear down.

Hospital Waiting Room
A doctor walked up to them slowly. Tara rose to her feet quickly, and Buffy followed. The doctor stood in front of them and sighed.
"Mrs. Rosenberg is going to be okay. We were able to bring her back, even though there were a few complications. You'll be able to take her home tonight. "
Tara released her breath that she hadn't even realized she'd been holding. She looked over at Buffy and smiled. She quickly turned her attention back to the doctor.
"Thank you. "
The doctor smiled and quickly left the waiting room at the sound of his beeper. The two girls sat down and smiled at each other.

Giles's Apartment
"Giles! I have to go. She's my s-sister! She m-may be a bitch, but, like I s-said. She's my sister. I have t-to go get her. "Sage yelled as she swung her coat around her shoulders.
Giles slammed his hands down on his desk. "Damn it Sage, listen to me! I would expect this from her, but not you! "
"Giles. Shut up. "Sage yelled, forcing all the stutter from her voice.
Xander tossed her the keys to his blazer, and she left. Jenn trailed closely behind her.
