Clairebear21: Thanks, and I will update. See? I already have. *winkwink*
SPASH Panther: Yeah, this is a Buffy/Charmed fic.
Somebudee: Hey, this is just the beginning of a loooooooong story.
Chapter 2
Later in the day, at about three o' clock, Phaedra met up with Dawn at their lockers. Phae didn't exactly look like herself, more like someone who'd just sat for a French pop quiz.
"What's up?" Dawn asked.
Phae scowled, saying, "Madame Robinette gave us a French pop quiz. And guess what? I hadn't studied and got all my phrases mixed up." She slammed her locker shut and leaned back against it.
Dawn gave her a sympathetic smile. "Well, at least we're going to the Magic Box now. Will won't mind tutoring you."
Phae brightened a little. "Yeah, I guess. Let's go before I die in this torture-house they call a school."
Dawn laughed and slung her arm around her best friend. "Let's go."
Together the two walked out of the school and made their way to the Magic Box, talking and laughing all the way.
~*~
The bell jingled as Dawn and Phaedra pushed open the door, walking in. Anya was at the counter as usual, Giles was with some customers, Willow and Tara were at the table studying (or maybe reading some witchcraft books), Xander was eating something with a book open on his lap and his feet on the table. Which left Buffy. Not seeing her anywhere in the shop, Phaedra assumed she was in training in the back room alone.
The two girls sat down beside Willow and Tara. "Hey, guys!" they chorused.
Willow, Tara and Xander smiled at them, followed by a "Hi" from all three.
"How was school?" Will asked.
Phae scowled again. "Madame Robinette gave us a stupid French pop quiz. And I flunked it. As usual."
"How'd you know?" Xander asked, his voice a bit muffled because of the doughnut he was munching on.
Phae wrinkled her nose. "Don't talk with your mouth full. Anyway. My French sucks, and besides, I didn't study so my phrases were all mixed up."
"Need some help?" Tara asked.
Phae grinned. "Brushing up on my powers."
Willow rolled her eyes. "After you finish your homework."
Phae wrinkled her nose again and started to protest, but Buffy came out of the back room, sweaty, her blonde hair plastered to the back of her neck.
"Hey, girls. How was school?"
This time Dawn answered before her best friend could open her mouth. "Great. Except for when we got the results for our History test."
"D?" Buffy asked.
Dawn nodded.
"You guys got your results today?!" Phae asked in disbelief. "Mrs. Jeffreys had our papers, but she wouldn't-"
"Phae!!!" Willow, Tara, Xander, Buffy, Dawn and even Anya chorused. The Halliwell girl could talk for ages.
Phae grinned. "Sorry. Guess I got carried away, huh?"
"Yes," Xander said.
"So anyways, what are you guys doing? Any demons or something?" Dawn asked.
"Nope. Just some stuff for school," Willow replied.
"Same here," Tara said.
"What about you? Are you really reading a book?" Dawn asked Xander in mock disbelief.
"Brushing up on my demons," came the reply.
Phae glanced at the clock. "Oh! I am so late. I promised Nana I'd be home by four and it's half-past. Could I have a ride, someone?" she begged.
"Sorry," everyone chorused.
Phae sighed and turned to Dawn. "You coming?"
Dawn shook her head. "Nah. Maybe later."
A/N: Like I said above, thanks to all those who reviewed. For those who didn't, please do!
