I want to thank everyone who reviewed I love reading them. I'm sorry for not updating sooner. Anyways onto the story.

"Chris!" Paige yelled as Phoebe and Buffy cleaned up from there latest demon attack. She was worried, they'd killed the demon but it had thrown a potion at buffy. Buffy claimed to feel fine so it may have done nothing to her but, Paige knew from experience it was better to be careful.

"What." Chris asked orbing in.

"Demon attacked this morning." Paige explained.

"You guys ok?" He asked concerned.

"Yeah, but Buffy got hit with a potion." Paige replied.

"What did it do?" he asked.

"Nothing, that we can tell." Paige began. "She may be immune to the potion like she was to our powers."

"Maybe but, I doubt it She has a higher tolerance level for resisting spells but as she told us herself she has been affected by spells and stuff before." Chris replied concerned.

"What should we do. I suggested she stay here today incase the potion does do something to her but, she wont listen. She' convinced their just trying to distract her from the master's resurrection." Paige explained.

"Most likely they are. Maybe we should call Leo and see if he can find anything out. It might be a good idea for Buffy to hang out at magic school with mom for a while, at least until we know what they did or tried to do to her." Chris suggested.

"Boy, you've got it bad. I mean especially if your willing to involve Leo." Paige teased. "Phoebe's right you really do like her."

"Phoebe, What...I don't....I just....Oh no, what did you guys do?" Chris exclaimed.

"What did who do?" Phoebe asked walking into the kitchen.

"You too, What did you guys do." Chris demanded.

"What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked feigning innocence.

"You two could never stay out of my love life why did I expect anything to be different twenty years in the past." Chris ranted. " I mean I can't show the slightest interest in any girl without you two coming up with some half baked scheme to set us up. Sure I find her attractive but, do you two ever stop and think. I mean she's like eighteen years to old for me. Eventually I have to go back to my time and Buffy doesn't exist in it. Anyway why would I like her, she's reckless, she takes stupid risks. She thinks she can do everything on her own. She's secretive, she's keeping secrets from you and probably from me too. To read about her accomplishments in my time you wouldn't expect her to be, well kinda ditzy. I mean what on earth would give you the idea that she's the kind of girl I would go for." Chris continued to rant until he noticed Paige and Phoebe gesturing frantically for him to stop. "She's standing behind me isn't she." Chris groaned as Phoebe nodded. He slowly turned to face her.

"Oh don't stop on my account." Buffy said calmly. "Come on tell me what you really think of me. I mean I'm sorry I don't live up to my 'history'. Your right, I am everything you said but, I'm glad I'm a disappointment. I never wanted to be some great heroine, I wanted to be a cheerleader I don't want to have people reading about all the amazing things I've done and how great I WAS. I mean you said it I don't exist in your future. So why don't we just focus on destroying the master then I'll help you guys save Wyatt and you can go back to your happy Buffy free future. And next time you feel the need to tear me down why don't you take a look in the mirror because everything you said about me is true for you too. Well not everything, because as much as it may have sucked at least you had and, still have a future. I'll be upstairs if you need me." She finished walking out of the room.

"Nice one." Paige said after she left.

"I'm gona go check on her." Phoebe said following Buffy upstairs.

"I really blew it this time didn't I" Chris sighed.

"You sure did." Paige replied putting her arm around him. "But, it'll probably blow over in a day or so."

"I didn't really mean it, I was just....." He trailed off.

"I know." Paige said.

"I, I gotta go." Chris said orbing out.

Magic School.

Piper was busy looking through the endless piles of books as she heard the familiar sound of orbs entering the room. She was surprised to see Chris looking so depressed.

"Chris what's wrong, is everyone ok?" She asked. He Quickly filled her in on the mornings events and how he put his foot in his mouth.

"Well." Piper began. "I told them to stay out of it. But, I can tell they were right. You really do have feelings for her don't you?"

Chris nodded blushing. "I guess but, it's complicated."

"I know, you both just lost people you loved and don't bite my head off but, you made some valid points in your 'Buffy bashing speech'. You are from different times, and you eventually have to return to yours were she won't exist." Piper replied.

"I know, it's just hard to think like that when I'm here. I mean I know so much about what she will have to face and can't say anything to help her or it may change the future in ways we wouldn't want it to." Chris replied.

"I know, and I know you wish you could give us a heads up on what our futures will be two, but you just can't." Piper began. "You need to decide if it's worth pursing this thing with Buffy knowing you will have to leave in a few months."

"I know, your right. I should probably just leave it alone. Plus the elders would probably freak and they don't like me much as it is." Chris replied.

"Well screw the elders." Piper exclaimed causing Chris to grin. "That's the best advise I'll ever be able to give you."

"Ok." Chris replied confused.

"No, I mean. With everything we do and deal with everyday, I've learned one thing. When you find happiness hold on to it for as long as you can, no matter what anyone thinks. Our lives and buffy's life is full of constant battles and loss, if you let it, it will destroy you. If you find someone who makes you happy then hold on to them for as long as you can. It may cause you pain in the end but, when you look back on it you'll see it was worth it. Even though we can't be together anymore I wouldn't trade what I've had with Leo for anything." Piper explained.

"Thanks mom." Chris said standing up to leave.

"Anytime, give her some time cool off and try to talk to her." Piper said as he orbed out.
