"We're new", answered Tara as Snyder surveyed the group

"We should be going to class", stated Buffy as the group tried to make a dash for the doors

"Slow down I just had a wonderful idea, I came here to talk about Mr. Giles's anti social behavior, yours and your new friends behavior can serve well with my idea", replied Snyder as the group stopped

"May I asked what you mean", asked Giles as he walked forward

"You are going to judge the annual talent show and these students are going to participate in it or else they'll be suspended", smiled the evil Snyder

"My being a librarian was for the main purpose of being anti social", protested Giles

"There's no way out unless you want to be fired", said Snyder as he turned to walk out

"Can't we just have a boat loud of detentions", begged Xander as Snyder ignored him and walked out

"This is terrible", stated Giles as he sat down at the table

"Giles into every generation is born one who must run the annual talent less show you can not escape your destiny", stated Buffy as she, Willow and Xander also sat down

"What's so bad about being in a talent show, what was there no prize money", asked Anya

"We did a dramatic scene, it was horrible", started Willow in a daze

"Willow ran of stage in the middle leaving me, and Buffy out on a line", added Xander

"Then in the midst of preparing we had to deal with a horny puppet, a brain and heart takin demon that almost sliced Giles head off", finished Buffy

"We're here to make things better so who the hell is the demon and how does a horny puppet involve", asked Spike

"Willow hack on to the computer by the end of the day so you can get Morgens address and we can talk to Sid, Giles get in contact with the council and tell them what's going on and that I need to talk to them, we really need to get to class", replied Buffy

2:10

"Okay so this Morgan guy has a dummy that goes by the name Sid, he hunts demons and the demons name's Mark. Am I getting any of this", asked Spike as the group walked through the schools parking lot

"Pretty much and we're going to go see Morgan", stated Xander as Cordelia looked at the group from her car

"Well look it's the three musketeers times two", quaked Cordelia

"Oh my, something's wrong with your hair, it's all tangled", stated Willow as Tara used magic to make Cordelias hear a mess

"Oh lord", cried Cordelia as the group continued to walk away

"I'm only doing that once remember", replied Tara with a smile

"That doesn't make it any less sweet, the only time Cordelias hair is really a mess is when we had trouble with inviso girl and the prom", stated Xander

"Also when she made the wish Buffy never came to Sunnydale but you weren't there, well you were but you were a vampire", added Anya

"Okay too much info, here we are Morgans house", said Willow as they walked to the front door of a house and rang the bell

"Can I help you", asked the woman who opened the door

"Mrs. Shay we know your son Morgan from school could we talk to him", asked Xander as the woman looked suspiciously at them

"Morgan honey there's some kids here who want to talk to you", yelled Mrs. Shay over her shoulder

"Thanks Mom", stated Morgan as he walked into the living room where the group had migrated and his Mother walked out

"How are you Morgan", asked Willow

"Fine, what can I do for you, I'm trying to practice for the talent show", replied Morgan as he held up Sid

"We're here to help Sid with his demon problems and we want to do it before the demon takes Emilys heart and your brain so he can be human for another seven years", stated Xander

"I have no idea what you're talking about", said a panicking Morgan

"Listen Sid I know you can hear me I'm the vampire slayer which means I know about all the nasties in the world and I can tell you who the demon is so you can lift the curse and no longer be trapped in a dummies body", replied Buffy

"So babe if you are the slayer who's the guy I'm looking for", asked Sid

"His name's Mark he's doing the magic act in the talent show and he plans to do his killing tomorrow", answered Buffy

"Thanks for the heads up you know I once knew a slayer", stated Sid as he wiggled his eye brows

"Yah I know before you were a Mr. Puppet man and you got it on, so just kill the demon and get your rest", replied Buffy

"Now we've got bigger fish to fry being forced to play in the talent show", said Xander as the group headed for the door

"Will you quit it with the sailor jokes", stated Spike in annoyance

"Thanks, bye", yelled both Sid and Morgan as the group walked away from the house

Summers residence

"Dawns going to be shocked when she comes home and we're here", stated Anya as the group walked in to the house

"We have plenty to do while we wait", stated Buffy as she took a notebook out of her back pack labeled IDEAS TO BE DONE

"So lets see what you have", replied Willow as Buffy handed her the book

"We've got keep Tara, Kendra, Faith safe, defeat Master, keep slayer chain safe, kill Ben or find a way to kill Glory, deal with Initiative, god and so much more", read Willow

"I like the touch god and so much more", laughed Xander

"Buffy are you home", yelled Dawn as she ran in to the Living room to see the group sitting around

"How you doin Bit", asked Spike as she stood in front of them with her mouth wide open

"You're back, you're back this is wonderful the Scooby's are back", cried Dawn as she franticly hugged everyone

"That's right Dawny and we're not going any where", stated Tara as the group was finally whole

Unfortunately all tender moments are always interrupted which meant the phone rang and Buffy had to answer it

"Hi Giles the council is going to meet us at the library tomorrow at 2:20", stated Buffy into the phone

"Just wonderful interrogation time", said Spike as Buffy hung up the phone

Next Day Library 2: 00

"Got Dawn out of school early", replied Buffy as she and Dawn ran in

"Good she needs to be here too", stated Willow

"Remember this is our turf and they can't mess with us like last time", added Spike

"And lets make a point of making sure they don't take away Buffys powers when she turns eighteen", replied Xander as the group sat at the table

"How do you know about that", asked Giles in shock

"Are you losing your step watcher Buffys been through that already", stated Spike

"So are you also going to tell them I'm the key because you know they could try to send me back since the monks are still alive now", asked Dawn

"No we're not, once we deal with Ben and Glory we can make it so you're no longer the key like last time", stated Willow

"Cool", replied Dawn as the council members walked in

"So tell us what is going on and why did Mr. Giles say that it dealt with the future", asked Quinton

"I wish I could say it was a pleasure to see you but it's not", said Buffy as the groups sat down

"Buffy just yesterday told me that the Powers had allowed her and her friends to inhabit their past bodies to save the world", started Giles

"To start me and my friends have knowledge to the date of December 31, 2003 so we know of most of the evils that will come in the next six years", stated Buffy

"But these are just children, civilians why would the Powers That Be involve them", stated Nigel

"Not true, Willow and Tara are powerful witches, Anyas an ex vengeance demon turned human, Xanders clocked more field time then all of you together, Dawns Buffys sister, and I'm Spike, once William the Bloody a hundred year old vampire", answered Spike

"So what do you need us for", asked Quinton

"You ain't putting her through the trials again", yelled Xander

"Also Buffy died for a few seconds in our time line and another slayer was called and then she died and another was called so since they're sits at the moment and they can fight we'd like Kendra and Faith brought here", added Tara

"We also want Faiths watcher sent here and Kendras mother and father, you may have noticed that slayers have a tendency to die young and since I lived to 23 and have actually talked to Spike who when he was a vampire killed two slayers I know what's going on", started Buffy

"Slayers have a death wish each and everyone of them but when they have friends and family backing them it ties them to the world, Buffy has her Mum, kid Sis and the Scooby's and she was a slayer for 8 years, Kendra only survived one year and Faith one year until she turned dark", finished Spike

"Also you will compensate us minimum wage for our slaying it's kida hard to slay all night, go to school, then have another job", replied Anya

"I do not think that is wise", said Quinton

"You still think you have the power but you don't I'm the slayer and I have the power, so no hoops no jumps because with out me you're watchin masterpiece theater", replied Buffy

"How do we know that you are not messing with us", asked Quinten

"May be they should watch our form of Masterpiece Theater", smiled Willow

"That's a very good idea", added Anya as planned as she put the movie into the VCR that was strategically placed as the end of the table

"I do not see how a movies going to change our minds", said Nigel as he stopped in shock at the movie that now included the council blowing up

"I see, we will participate as long as we are kept informed about your slaying", stated Quinton as the movie ended

"Good when can we expect Faith and Kendra", asked Buffy

"Tomorrow Faith's in Boston, Massachusetts and Kendra's in London", answered Nigel

"Sorry am I interrupting something", asked Morgan as he walked in

"Nothing at all did Sid get his peace", stated Xander as he notice the limp dummy

"Yes he wanted me to thank all of you again for the warning about the last of the seven demons and that he'd be happy to have the curse broken", said Morgan as he held Sid up

"What is that about", asked Quinton

"It was a man cursed into dummy formed he had to kill seven demons who take human hearts and brains so they can have seven years of human appearance", answered Buffy as Morgan walked out

"Well we will be off and interested in your next report but we'd like to see your fighting style", stated Quinton and the watchers stood up

"Of course one week from today, also Buffy suggested I get this gift for you", said Giles as he handed Quinton a bottle of single malt scotch

"I thought you'd need it when you're signing our checks, here's this so you'll spell our names right", smiled Buffy as she handed him a piece of paper with all their names on it

"That went well", laughed Dawn as the Council walked out

"Yes know we have to figure out what to do for the talent show", stated Xander

"We can't do dramatic theme and none of us have any real talent", said Willow as they sat around sulking

"Are you guys stupid or something you have talent can't you remember we were all exploding with talent", yelled Dawn

Next day

"This tis ridiculous why have't you brought us t'here", asked Kendra as she and Faith stood with Faiths watcher in the library

"You see we have knowledge from the future and you've been brought here so we can keep you all from dying", answered Buffy

"We've provided housing for Faith and her watcher, also Kendra will have a house with her mother and father", added Spike

"The children have other things to deal with at the moment but I'm going to take you to the house and Kendra your parents are already at your house", replied Sarah as she looked kindly at the girls

"I don know my parents", stated Kendra

"We know that but you and Faith are SITs or Slayers In Training and you need family to keep you tied to the world, we'll explain more on Monday when we come back to school", said Buffy then Sarah escorted them out

"Well to the auditorium we go", stated Spike

Auditorium

"How's it going", asked Buffy as she walked up to the gang who were watching Cordelia make every ones ears bleed with her singing

"We're up next", stated Xander

"I can't do it", replied Willow as she tried to turn around

"You'll be fine honey", comforted Tara as she stopped her

"Next up we have Buffy Summers, William Winters, Tara and Anya Jenkins, Willow Rosenberg and Xander Harris", stated Giles to the audience as Cordelia walked off in a huff

"Where do we go from here", sang Tara as the group walked on stage

"Where do we go from here", added Buffy and Spike as the group stood in a row across the stage

"The battle's done and we kind of won", boomed Willow

"So we sound our victory cheer, where do we go from here", sang Tara and Willow

"Why is the path unclear, when we know home is near", added Xander and Anya

"Understand we'll go hand in hand, and we won't walk alone in fear", smiled the group as they held one an others hands

"Tell me", boomed Willow

"Where do we go from here, when does the end appear, when do the trumpets cheer, the curtains close on a kiss, god knows, we can tell the end is near, where do we go from here", finished the group and the crowd roared their approval

"They so ripped that off from Broadway", criticized Cordelia from the wings as the Scooby gang bowed with smiles

I'm debating on what episode to do next Nightmare with the lucky number baseball boy or skipping right to Prophecy girl where Buffy fights the Master. We'll just have to see hu.
