Title: Something New, Something Blue

Rating: I'll just say R. this one will be a long one kids!

Disclaimer: Everything Buffy belongs to Joss and Mutant Enemy. I used some quotes that are from the show and they are NOT mine. You know the drill.

Bla Stuff: Christine, an original character, is actually based on me (meaning not totally me). The character is about my life mostly and everything that has happened to me except being a potential and being in the slayer world. But she isn't totally me. I just needed someone like her for this kind of fic, you will know what I mean if you read this. I don't know, it sounds stupid. You'll see. Oh and Willow and Kennedy aren't together either. Tara is gone and Wood and Giles never tried to kill Spike. Spike does have a soul. He also never even knew that one ring that can make vampires come into the sun light existed. So I guess it's a little AU too.

Pairing: Buffy/Faith eventually and Kennedy/Christine (OC). There is Faith/Christine implied also, nothing big at all, don't freak. Some Willow/Fred too.

Setting: This is right before Willow comes back with Faith.

NOTE: Well look at that! I got another update! It isn't very long. Sorry about that. Been busy. Thanks so much for the feedback guys!! Made me punch this one out faster, so thanks! I'm just glad you guys like this story. We are getting closer guys! Probably 3-5 more parts and it will be finished. That is just a guess though, lol. Thanks for reading and I will update when I can! ;) :)

ful-of-faith – wow! I got a writing star reading my fic!!!!! lol! Thanks for the review. Yea, that concerned me when I was writing this (the whole lack of B/F). That is why I tend not to favor this fic, I usally don't like fics that center in on an original character, it's rare if I do. (for example, I totally love your OCs, they are very well written). I'm glad you like this fic though, it being not one of my best. So thankd for the FB! ;)

PhoenixJay27 – "Jay" – as always, thank you for reading and Feedbacking. You are the best. And yes, time and being busy can be an issue! lol. Thanks again bud! :)

Lou, ProphecyGirl-vv, gEmInI – thanks for reading and feedbacking. It means a lot! I to notice and thank you!!!! :)

PART 24: Can't stop all prophecies...

Upstairs...above ground...

Upstairs, Willow threw her head back as a wave of power passed through her and she started to glow, her hair practically turning a white blonde. Fred looked at her scared, frightened, amazed...

"Oh...my...goddess..." Willow uttered.

Things seemed to stand still in that very moment. Every potential felt it...felt the serge of power run through them. Young girls, all across the world, stood up and felt it. A little girl in a softball game, a girl at the mall...potentials, everywhere...

Underground...

Christine felt woozy for a second, then felt strength, something she ever felt before. She looked at Kennedy next to her who was gasping. Christine wasn't the only one.

Upstairs...aboveground...

The redhead Wicca collapsed to the floor, Fred scampering over to her. "Willow? Willow!" Fred yelled scared. Willow lay in her arms looking off into space.

"That...was nifty," the Wicca uttered, gasping a little, then looking up into Fred's eyes. The brunette about cried. She was just happy that Willow was ok. Fred quickly and tightly pulled Willow up to her into a tight hug.

"Don't do that! You scared me," Fred whispered hugging the redhead. Willow was coming down from her spell, breathing more evenly. The brunette pulled back, looking at the Wicca as their eyes met. Willow could see so much emotion on Fred's face as she cupped her cheek.

"You were beautiful," Fred uttered just above a whisper as Willow lightly smiled at her. The brunette ran her fingertips down the side of Willow's cheek. Not thinking, just doing, Willow leaned forward and captured Fred's lips and a gentle kiss as the brunette pulled her closer, kissing her back. After a moment they parted. Fred just stared at the redhead, grasping her hand. "I can't ever lose you," Fred stated, meaning it. Willow smiled, knowing Christine was right. And thinking of Christine, she knew there was one more thing they had to do...

"Then we better hurry and do the last spell," Willow stated, looking into Fred's eyes and squeezing her hand.

In the cavern

A new and determined look came across all of the potentials as they stood their ground. It was as though they were set on auto pilot. They were slayers...and they were ready. Kennedy grabbed the first vamp that came at her and flung it into the wall. Buffy jumped down a level and swung the scythe, taking an ubervamp's head off.

Faith, still up on the higher level, looked down at Buffy as she rammed her sword through an ubervamp's chest. Christine was next to her. "I got your girl covered for you," the potential stated, stepping near the edge to go down a level. Two ubervamp's came at her and she back kicked one and swung her sword at the other one, turning it to dust.

"Don't we have to stick together?" Faith asked as she elbowed an ubervamp in the face then leg swept another. Christine looked at her before another ubervamp came at her.

"Not really," she said backhanding the vampire and hitting another one that came at her. "We'll know when Willow's spell hits, when it does that's when we make our move," Christine stated, knowing she was lying through her teeth. The ubervamp she backhanded turned to dust as she cut its head off. Without waiting for an answer, Christine jumped down to the level below her were Buffy was.

Faith watched Christine jump shaking her head slightly as she threw an ubervamp into the wall where Kennedy dusted it immediately. Kennedy looked up at her for a moment. "You know, cleaning up your mess," she said before grinning and kicking another ubervamp. Faith shook her head as two other ubervamps approached her.

The First watched for a moment on its ledge, smiling. It thought that today was going to be its day. No matter what they did, it was going to win. Buffy kicked an ubervamp in the chest, sending it flying at Christine who dusted him. Buffy swiftly turned around and swung the scythe, taking out 3 unbervamps in one motion.

Christine kicked another ubervamp as she looked over at The First. Her own damn face, smiling back at her. The potential then grunted stumbling back as she felt pain in her chest. She looked up at The First after looking down at her chest and grinned at it. The First's smile faltered, wondering what Christine was doing.

Upstairs, North hallway.

"I think they are coming," Andrew said getting in a weird fighting stance with his sword. Anya looked at him then looked back at the hallway.

"Oh, god. I'm terrified. I didn't think— I mean, I just figured you'd be terrified and I would be sarcastic about it," she stated nervously. Andrew looked at her.

"Just picture happy things. A lake, candy canes, bunnies..." Andrew was saying as they saw a few ubervamps round the corner.

"Bunnies. Floppy, hoppy, bunnies..." Anya whispered suddenly confident and determined...

South hallway...

A few ubervamps ran at Dawn and Xander as they stood there. "NOW!" Xander yelled as Dawn sprang a trap, allowing sunlight into the building and dusting the ubervamps. Xander briefly smiled. "We call that the greenhouse effect. Very dangerous."

Back in the cavern...upper level...

"These guys are dust," Vi said as she turned another ubervamp to dust. Kennedy looked over at her from her spot, backhanding a ubervamp and cutting the head off of another, dusting it.

"I could get used to this," Kennedy stated as another ubervamp came at her.

Lower level of the cavern...

Christine yelled in pain as she threw her head back a little. Buffy looked over at her. "Christine!" Buffy yelled as an ubervamp went towards her. Buffy was quickly on him, turning him to dust. Christine staggered backwards gasping and clutching the still hidden amulet to her chest. Buffy looked at her for a second before yelling up to the others, "Keep the line together! Drive them to the edge! We can't let them do..." Buffy said as a sword stuck in her side. Buffy hit the ground.

"No!" Christine yelled trying to get closer to the older slayer to protect her. The potential fought the pain the amulet was causing and staggered over to Buffy as the ubervamp that struck her leaned over. In one motion, Christine hit it, sending it clear over the edge. Christine knew that the time was getting closer...she could feel it.

She dropped down next to Buffy as she got up on her knee. Christine looked at her. "You'll be ok..." Christine started to say. But she was then lifted off her feet, The First, behind her. It then threw her into the wall. Christine grunted as she hit it and went down.

"Nice try, got to hand it to you...but it won't save you," The First said leering at her and grinning. Christine staggered as she got up and looked The First in the face, determined.

"Watch me," Christine said before grunting back pain and kicking it square in the chest. Power surged through her and The First flew back several feet into the wall. Christine knew what she had to do. She couldn't hold back any longer. She staggered to Buffy, who had gotten up and was weakly trying to defend herself. Light started to come off of the potential as Buffy turned around, was clutching her side with the scythe in her other hand, wondering why the ubervamps shrunk away.

"Christine..." Buffy nearly stated. The potential got closer, still fighting the amulet. Christine just wanted a little bit longer, just a little bit longer.

"I can't hold it," Christine stated as the amulet now burned her skin and burned the shirt it was hidden under, reveling it some what. The potential put her hand forward, towards Buffy, but not touching her. The older slayer suddenly felt a warmth come over her as she closed her eyes briefly. Then it was gone, along with the pain in her side.

Buffy opened her eyes feeling her side...she was healed. The blonde looked up at Christine as the potential painfully smiled at her before yelling in pain and throwing her head and arms back as rays of light shot out from her, turning all the ubervamps around them into dust. The cavern began to shake and crumble causing Buffy to lose her balance.

The First, who had just got up, looked at Christine. "No. NO!" It yelled. "This can not be," it stated watching her. Christine screamed in pain as more light came through her and she was lifted some what off the ground. The potential gritted her teeth. Buffy looked at her as Christine turned her head to her.

"You can't stop all prophecies," the potential stated. Buffy looked at her and understood some what, and all the things Christine had said before started to make sense. Faith then hit the ground next to her. Then she looked up to see Christine. The potential didn't look at Faith as she said to Buffy, "Get out of here."
