Spring Break came up and the scoobies were headed home with Harry coming along. Professor Dumbledore ordered a professor to come and keep an eye on the two in case Voldy's people tried anything so Along came McGonagall. They arrived at McCarren Airport where Connor and Cougar picked them up. As they rode to the house Harry was in awe of downtown Vegas.

"Wait till you ride them," Kailie said to her brother as she saw he was watching a roller coaster.

"You ride them?" Harry gulped.

Kailie laughed and Leo smiled along with a bunch of others.

*****

The girls were out at the mall talking and chatting. They turned a corner and Kailie bumped into someone.

"Sorry," She said turning around to face him as he did the same.

"Oh. My. God," He said.

"Nick?!?!" Kailie asked.

"Who?" Prue asked.

"It is you," Nick said.

The two hugged.

"Oh my god. I haven't seen you in forever. What the hell are you doing here?" Kailie asked.

"Vacation with my family," Nick said.

"No offence. Kailie. Who is he?" Prue asked.

"Her best friend from St. louis," Willow answered stepping up.

"Hey Nick. You remember Willow," Kailie said.

"Good to see you again Red," Nick joked.

"Nick! Come on," Someone called.

"Be there in a second," Nick yelled then wrote down a phone number. "Call me and we'll go to lunch and talk okay Kai?"

"Peachy with a side of keen," Kailie joked.

They hugged then Nick went off. For the first time in awhile, Kailie felt completely at ease.

*****

Kailie hugged Nick tightly at the airport before the two went to thier separate planes.

"Man I just found you and now you're going to England. Screw you," Nick joked as he lightly punched her.

"Ah. The land of the tweed and the home of the not-so-brave," Kailie joked.

"Ain't it the truth? Ya huh," Prue said slinging an arm around Kailie's neck.

Their plane was called. Kailie handed Nick her cell number.

"Call me anytime after 2 your time got it?" Kailie said.

"Yeah. Tell Red I say bye," Nick said.

"I will," They said then got on their plane.

*****

"So what's the dealio with Nick?" Prue asked.

"I just knew him from somewhere," Kailie said.

"You two looked pretty cozy," Prue smirked.

"Never gonna happen," Kailie said.

Prue let out a half smile.

*****

The days went by as usual at Hogwarts. Going unnoticed by everyone, Prue and Kailie seemed to just be going through the motions though. They were sitting in their room working on thier homework and listening to music with Harry. A new song started and Kailie and Prue started singing along not really noticing they were as they worked..

Look at me

You may think you see

Who I really am

But you'll never know me

Every day

It's as if I play a part

Now I see

If I wear a mask

I can fool the world

But I cannot fool my heart

Harry looked at them for a moment then put his quill down and watched them sing.

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

I am now

In a world where I

Have to hide my heart

And what I believe in

But somehow

I will show the world

What's inside my heart

And be loved for who I am

Harry caught a little gleam in each of their eyes when they sang that verse. It was then that he noticed that they had been going though the motions.

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

Why is my reflection

Someone I don't know?

Must I pretend that I'm

Someone else for all time?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be

Free to fly

That burns with a need to know

The reason why

Why must we all conceal

What we think, how we feel?

Must there be a secret me

I'm forced to hide?

I won't pretend that I'm

Someone else for all time

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

When will my reflection show

Who I am inside?

*****

"Nope. There is literally nothing happening over here," Kailie said into her cell phone as she walked by the lake.

"That's a bummer," Nick said.

"Totally. Going through the motions here," Kailie joked.

"And all you want to be is Alive right Kai?" Nick asked.

"Ain't it the truth," Kailie said sitting down.

"How are things on the magic front?" Nick asked.

"Nothing really. No attacks, no visions, no feelings," Kailie said.

"S`about time huh?" Nick asked.

"You bet. It's been hell lately."

"And you mean that in the literal sense huh?"

"Totally."

"Have you talked Xander or Connor about that stuff?"

"They all know about the heaven-ness and everything else."

"Including the Darryl stuff?" Nick asked.

"Including that. I hate having to tell the past. It sucks."

"Sucks worse than vampires," Nick joked.

"You don't know how right you are."

"What can I say? I'm very observative," Nick said.

"Is that even a word?" Kailie aksed.

"I don't know, but I like it."

Kailie laughed then heard music in the background. "What are you listening to?"

"Where's the Love," Nick said flipping through a book.

"I love that song so much, but I don't have the cd," Kailie said.

"Well, now I know what to get you for your birthday then," Nick said.

"Yeah..... Hey Do you remember that time at lunch we were singing Where's the Love and it started a big riot thingie?" Kailie aksed.

"Yeah and we didn't even get busted or anything," Nick laughed.

You were, there by my side

Always, down for the ride

But your, joy ride just came down in flames

'Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm

That song was stuck in Kailie's head every time she talked to Nick. She felt like singing it out loud and dedicating it to Nick. Too bad she would make such a fool of herself doing that though.

After all of the stealing and cheating

You probably think that I hold resentment for you

But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong

'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do

I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through

So I wanna say thank you

'Cause it makes me that much stronger

Makes me work a little bit harder

It makes me that much wiser

So thanks for making me a fighter

Made me learn a little bit faster

Made my skin a little bit thicker

Makes me that much smarter

So thanks for making me a fighter

"Well I gotta go. Dinner's about to start," Kailie said.

"I'll talk to you later."

"Bye Nick."

"Bye."

*****

"There will be a Spring Dance coming up next week on Friday. All classes will be shortened so those of you who are girls can spend as much time as you want on make-up knowing all of you," Dumbledore joked.

A few kids laughed.

"Most of you are probably wondering. Yes you may bring dates to this dance. Let's eat," Dumbledore said and the food appeared.

Prue and Coy looked at each other and they nodded.

"Too bad Nick is in New York," Kailie said tearing off a piece of her roll.

"Why? Would you like to dance with him?" Prue smirked.

"Oh shut up," Kailie said.

"Maybe you can ask Dumbledore," Harry said from next to his sister.

"Nah. Already got a few scoobies here with me. Don't wanna ask for anything more ya know," Kailie said.

"Still," Hermione said.

"Nopes," Kailie said.

"I think you should ask," Harry said.

"Why?" Kailie asked.

"Cos Nick is a smitten kitten around you, and you are too," Prue said.

"So am not," Kailie said. They looked at her. "Okay maybe a little, but he's just a friend. Plus he's like on the other side of the world."

"That didn't stop Piper and Leo," Lily said on the other side of the table.

"And they had a kid," Prue pointed out.

"Puh-lease. A) Leo could orb anytime he wanted to. B) TV show. C) I'd take Brian Krause over Nick any day," Kailie said.

"Blessed be to that," Prue said as she clinked her drink against Kailie's.

"You're gonna ask. Or else we will for you," Ron said.

"Why is everyone picking on me?" Kailie asked.

"When you look at Nick what do you see?" Prue asked.

"A close friend. Like Connor or Xander," Kailie answered.

"Ohana," Prue smirked.

"Means family. Family means no one gets left behind......I know. I kno," Kailie said shaking her head.

They ate then Dumbledore silenced the hall.

"One last announcment. We have booked a band-" Applause. "An American band called-" Gets that sparkling twinkle in his eye. "Charmed with a Vengence."

"WHAT?!?!?!!?!?!?" Five voices rang out getting the attention of the hall

"That is correct," Dumbledore sat.

They looked at each other.

"The scoobies are coming to Hogwarts baby!" Prue said. "Booo yaaa!"

*****

I miss the look of surrender in your eyes

The way your soft brown hair would fall

I miss the power of your kiss when we made love

But baby most of all

The music played and couples/dates danced on the floor. Prue/Coy, Hermione/Harry-Ron, and Kailie/Nick were the scoobies there. The floor was packed completely.

I miss my friend

The one my heart and soul confided in

The one I felt the safest with

The one who knew just what to say to make me laugh again

And let the light back in

I miss my friend

I miss the colors that you brought into my life

Your golden smile, those blue-green eyes

I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now

Saying it'll be alright

After that song the scoobies went on stage.

"Okay for the last song we're gonna play a song by Staind called So Far Away," Connor said.

"Evil," Kailie whispered as she grabbed her guitar.

"I heard that," Connor whispered back.

"That was the point of me saying it, "Kailie said.

They started playing.

this is my life

its not what it was before

all these feelings i've shared

and these are my dreams

that i'd never lived before

somebody shake me

cuz i

i must be sleeping

now that we're here,

it's so far away

all the struggle we thought was in vain

all in the mistakes,

one life contained

they all finally start to go away

now that we're here its so far away

and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive

and i'm not ashamed to be the person that i am today

The crowd was by the stage a bit. The staff was in the back listening.

these are my words

that i've never said before

i think i'm doing okay

and this is the smile

that i've never shown before

somebody shake me cuz i

i must be sleeping
