Chapter eight-A girl named Shion

The group of Earth children continued to walk on in silence. They were all still pretty creeped out by the place they had just been in. What could of caused a lot of people to die there? Was it a war, or massacre?

After walking a little more, Andrew stopped, "hey," he said.

Everyone else stopped to and looked at Andrew, who in turn blushed. "What," everyone asked?

Still blushing, Andrew pointed to the far east. "Look over there."

Everyone did, and Phoebe gasped. "It's the forest, in my vision."

"The rainbow forest," Xander said in awe. He was right, the trees were all different colors.

"Uh huh, that's how it was in my vision."

"Well what are we waiting for, mates," Spike said starting for the forest, "lets go."

Prue looked at the forest wondering if it was safe, she'd hate to go there and put everyone in danger, but it looked like they had no chose. For Phoebe's vision to come true the needed to be in a forest.

Prue nodded and started to follow Spike. Seeing Prue following Spike everyone else did as well.

When they got the the edge of the forest, everyone shivered, as a great big gust of wind whipped around them.

"Brrrr," Dawn, said, hugging herself.

They were getting ready to go in the forest when Cordelia stopped them, "wait, before we go in, I have one request."

"And that is," Willow asked?

"Well I'd hate to meet someone on this planet and be in such a fashion don't," she pointed to her orange jumpsuit, "can we take these off?"

Everyone looked down and their clothes and started to laugh, "I can't believe we forgot we still had these on," Harmony said, wrinkling her nose at the ugly suits they were made to put on, before boarding the airship.

"Yeah, let's take them off," Prue said, unzipping hers, and pulling it down.

Everyone else did the same.

"You're still in a fashion don't, Cordy," Harmony teased, looking at her blue jean shorts and blue top.

Cordy stuck her tongue at Harm, "that's what you think."

Everyone laughed and continued into the forest.

"Did you see that," Kendra shouted, then she blushed, realizing she had spoke.

"What," Buffy asked?

Kendra blushed again, "It looked like a duck. But it was red."

Everyone shook their heads no. "Hear duck, duck," Dawn called quacking and clapping her hands.

"Let's continue," Prue said, "come on, duck girl," Prue took Dawn's hand. Dawn smiled and stopped quacking.

Walking the group found a trail. "Hey, there's a trail. Shall we follow it?" Piper looked at the trail then to her friends.

"Might as well, it will lead us somewhere, rather then us just wondering around," Angel said looking at the trail, "what do you say, Prue?"

Prue thought about what Angel said, and knew it was the logical chose, so she nodded, "yeah, lets go."

They walked for about 30minutes and didn't notice when they passed a small bubbling purple stream, because they were two engrossed in a story Xander was telling them all. So when they ended up in a little grove, none of them thought that it was the vision grove.

"Lets rest here, for awhile," Prue said, yawning.

"Yeah, I'm pooped," Paige said, plopping down on her backside.

"Pooped, pooped," Dawn sang, sitting by Paige.

Buffy yawned and set by her sister, "I'm tired, too."

Everyone else set down too, feeling tired as well.

"Should we camp here? It's a nice looking place," Willow said, laying back and looking at the few clouds she could see through the trees.

"Yeah, let's camp. We've had a long day, and it is starting to get dark." Prue took out her Tebber and flipped it open. "Computer, we would like to camp here. Is it safe?"

The computer hummed and peeped, "No hostile creatures are around."

"Okay, good. We'd like some camping supplies."

The commuter beeped and buzzed, then a green haze filled the grove, when it cleared there was three tents, and enough food and water for everyone.

"Wow," everyone murmured.

Everyone set down and ate a large supper, then they all decided to go to bed. Spike, Angel, Xander and Andrew went into one tent. Buffy, Dawn, Kendra, Cordelia and Willow went in another. And Harmony, Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige went in the last tent.

"Night," everyone called to each other.

The next morning, Dawn was the first to awaken. Yawning she got out of her sleeping bag, and set up. She took her computer out and opened it. She had seen everyone else use theres so she knew what she was doing.

"Puter, can I have, hmmm, oh can I have a puppy?"

A green haze filled the air, and when it cleared there stood a small brown pup.

Yipping the puppy, ran out of the tent. "Puppy, come back here," Dawn yelled chasing the puppy.

When everyone else woke, a scream could be heard throughout the forest.

"DAWN," Buffy yelled. Buffy scrambled out of her sleeping bag and looked to where Dawn was supposed to be. "Oh, no that was Dawn."

Everyone ran out of their tents, looking around the grove for the four year old.

"Where did it come from," Prue asked, looking around, "can anyone tell?"

Buffy started to cry, what will I do if I lose my sister, she though.

Willow looked at the crying girl and pulled her in a hug, running her fingers through her blond hair.

Nobody seemed to know where it came from, so everyone was feeling very upset, thinking about the poor girl.

Phoebe was looking around, and jumped when someone touched her shoulder.

"Welcome to Avalon."

"Ahhhh," Phoebe screamed, turning around so fast that she tripped and fell to the ground.

"Sorry, I hadn't meant to startle you, young earthling."

Everyone came running when they heard Phoebe's yell and stopped in their tracks when they saw her on the ground, and the person standing above her.

Phoebe looked up at the thing that made her fall and was surprised that it looked like a young teenage girl. Not some slimy alien.

The girl laughed as if reading Phoebe's mind. "You're surprised, that I'm not green?"

Blushing Phoebe nodded, taking the girls hand when she offered it.

"I assure you, I can be green when I want, but more about that later. First off your earthling girl is safe. She ran into one of my clan members and is with him now. His appearance startled her. But he's a nice enough person."

Buffy felt like the weight of the earth had been lifted of her shoulders when she heard this. "Oh, thank goodness."

"Come, we have much to talk about," the girl waved her hand, and a purple portal appeared in front of her, "this leads to my home, and is also where your earthling girl is."

"Oh and my name is Shion Dragon," she smiled at the childern of Earth, "now come."

Nodding everyone followedShion into the portal.
