(Phoebe looks over the couch. The party guests start standing up. They continue their conversations with each other as if nothing ever happened to disrupt it.) (The guests in the dining room stand up and pick up their plates to get food off the table.)
PAIGE: (o.s.) Piper, ... (Phoebe turns and sees Paige walk over to Piper carrying Baby Chris.) PAIGE: Are you all right?
PIPER: Uh, I don't know. I guess so. (Paige takes Baby Chris from Piper who appears a little stunned ... and she doesn't know why.)
PAIGE: I'm really sorry about Leo.
PIPER: Yeah, me, too ... but at least he's gone on to a better place. (Hearing this, Phoebe stares at Piper knowing her reaction is very, very wrong.)
"Don't you think it's a little weird that she's so calm, Leo's gone." Phoebe said to Paige Watching Piper Calmly clean up after their guest left.
"No, I mean it's sad, but he's in a better place now." Paige said smiling asd she carried a tray into the kitchen.
"Piper, are you ok?" Phoebe asked concerned.
"Of course I am, I wish demons hadn't ruined our party though." She replied as she continued putting away the leftovers.
"Um, I meant about Leo." Phoebe replied confused.
"Leo, he's in a better place now, I'm happy for him." Piper replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "What do you have there?"
"Oh, Leo gave it to me before..." She trailed off.
Phoebe didn't know what to do, part of her agreed with her sisters but there was this nagging doubt that everything wasn't ok. That something was very wrong. She stared down at the cross she held in her hand as if it held all the answers. Then it hit her,
Buffy continued to silently stroke his face, the tears she no longer could hold back rolled down her cheeks dripping down onto Chris.
"What...What did I say about crying." Chris said his breathing labored
"Please, don't leave me." She begged softly. "I can't lose you."
"I already told you, You could never lose me." Chris replied painfully lifting his arm and placing a hand on her cheek. She placed her hand over it holding him there. She bent down placing a gentle kiss on his forehead. "I love you." he said slowly as he took his last breath.
"Chris!' Buffy screamed as his eyes shut. "No, please god no." She begged as his head rolled lifelessly to the side. "Please open your eyes, I love you too, you have to hear me." She begged frantically gripping his hand as he faded into nothingness.
"It hurts more this time, it didn't really hurt last time."
"What hurt?" Leo asked confused.
"Dying." Buffy replied weakly.
"Your not going to die..." Leo began trailing off as her eyes closed. "Buffy?" he called shakily.
"She's gone." Zankou said emotionlessly from behind him.
She shook her head as if to clear the images from it.
"That looks like the cross Buffy wears." Paige commented.
"Buffy's dead." Phoebe said sadly. "I just saw it. She died in Leo's arms."
"She is, that so sad." Piper replied smiling.
"Well at least she's in a better place now." Paige added.
"I don't know." Phoebe began confused. She could feel the pain in her premonition it hurt so badly, but why weren't they grieving?
PAIGE: You okay?
PHOEBE: I don't know.
PAIGE: It's like Kyle, you know? It's really a big deal. But we're never gonna forget him.
LEO: (echoy v.o.) Don't let them make you forget why I'm doing this, Phoebe. (Quick flash of: Leo.) LEO: (echoy) It's supposed to hurt. (End of flash.)
PHOEBE: (softly to herself) Never forget. (suddenly, louder) I have to check the Book of Shadows for something. (Phoebe rushes out of the kitchen.)
She knows what she has top do as she walks up to the book slowly placing her hands on it as she focuses on all they had lost. She relives all the deaths all the pain and realizes how wrong this new world is. "Oh god, what have we done?"
"Piper." Phoebe called finding her back in the kitchen.
"The boys wont stop crying, I think the demon really scared them." Piper said frustratedly.
"Do you really think that?" Phoebe asked "I mean, they never reacted this way to demons attacking maybe, they are upset because their father is gone?"
"To a better place." Piper added.
"The avatars killed your husband Piper. You can't tell me your ok with this. They killed Buffy, our friend, the girl who saved your son. They took away our ability to grieve. Your not supposed to be ok." Phoebe demanded.
"Stop, I don't want to think about it." Piper said softly.
"Well, you need to, you need to feel the pain it's the only way we can fix this. Remeber how you felt when Mom died, or grams, what about Prue. It hurt, just like the boys are hurting, it's how your supposed to feel." She insisted.
PIPER: Phoebe, stop. (Piper shakes her head, not wanting to believe any of it. With the truth of Phoebe's words, also comes the overwhelming grief.)
PHOEBE: Piper, how can you not see it? The only reason you're okay with all of this was because you wanted to be with Leo. And now they've taken him away? (Piper starts to cry.) PIPER: Why! Why would they do that?
PHOEBE: (softly) Because Leo caused conflict. And this is the only way they could keep Utopia going.
"Oh god, what have we done?' Piper asked sobbing.
(Paige, Piper and Phoebe orb into Kyle's apartment.)
PAIGE: You guys better have a good reason for bringing me here, because I don't want to be here.
PHOEBE: And that's exactly why we are here. Paige, Kyle died, and now it's time that you feel it. PAIGE: I felt it! And it would've felt a lot worse if I didn't know he'd gone on to a better place. PIPER: Well, that's the thing. It should have felt a lot worse. The Avatars made our pain go away after they killed Kyle.
PHOEBE: I had a vision ... of him dying ... when I touched this. (Phoebe picks up the snow globe.)
PHOEBE: He attacked one of the Avatars with his potion, and she killed him. Do you remember that, Paige?
PAIGE: Why are you doing this to me?
PHOEBE: He died right here ... in your arms. I saw it, I felt it, and now you have to feel it, too. Paige, it's the only way we can stop them.
PAIGE: I don't want to.
PIPER: You have to. Just like I did. (Paige starts crying.)
PAIGE: I don't want to. (Piper walks over to Paige and holds her.)
PIPER: Shh. It's okay. PAIGE: Why did they do this?
PHOEBE: To give us what we wanted -- what we thought we wanted.
PAIGE: What do we do now?
PHOEBE: We're gonna what Leo said ... and go find ourselves a demon.
Tomb:
"What are we going to do now?" a demon asked.
"We wait." Zankou replied calmly.
"For what, The elder died, your plan failed. The slayer isn't even alive to protect the hell mouth from the Avatars anymore, we're running out of allies." He replied nervously.
"Maybe not." Piper said blowing him up.
"Ah, you've come to your senses at last." Zankou said triumphantly.
"I wouldn't say coming to see you is coming to our senses." Paige said a bit hesitant to work with him.
"We need to work together, it's the only way well be able to stop them." Zankou replied.
"And why should we trust you?" Piper asked.
"You don't have to trust me, they didn't either." Zankou replied.
"Who?" Paige asked confused.
"Agent Brody, The slayer, Leo. They all were working with me, helping me stop the Avatars." Zankou replied.
"And they all died." Piper shot back.
"Agent Brody and Leo both sacrificed themselves so you would see how wrong the world had become." Zankou corrected.
"And Buffy?" Paige asked.
"Her death was pointless accept for the fact that it showed Leo what he needed to do. But all in all she was an idiot for going up there. It's almost funny, the big bad slkayer brought down by a pathetic human with a gun.." Zankou replied.
"Wait, you said the Avatars killed her." Piper said turning to Phoebe.
"That's what Leo told me." Phoebe replied confused.
"They did, and she knew they would" Zankou began. "The Avatars magic affected the hell mouth differently, instead of making everyone happy go lucky it made them bad, violent, homicidal even."
Flashback:
"Use Phoebe, make her see what really happened to Kyle." Buffy replied. "Make her see that the Avatars aren't the paragon of good the seem to be." Leo nodded orbing out.
"I'm going back up there." She said turning to leave.
"You should stay down here where your safer, The Avatars will return and they will destroy you." Zankou said turning to her.
"I know, but I have help them, I can't just let them kill each other." She replied.
"Before she died she told Leo that the Avatars came and made the people worse, the Avatars needed one of them to do what they couldn't, kill the slayer." Zankou finished.
"She tried to protect the people and they killed her?" Paige asked stunned. "How could the Avatars do that?"
"Were just as much to blame as they are, if we hadn't cast the spell they'd all be alive. Kyle, Buffy, Leo." Piper said sadly. 'We need to stop them before they kill anyone else."
ALPHA: What's the matter?
GAMMA: I can't find the sisters.
ALPH: None of them?
GAMMA: I don't understand. I just had them.
ALPHA: It's all right. They'll have to surface sooner or later.
PIPER: (o.s.) You got that right. (They look up and find The Charmed Ones standing on the stairs. Zankou stands just behind them, united with them.) (The Avatars turn around. A couple of them rush forward.) (Piper and Zankou motion, each sending an Avatar flying backward away from them. Alpha and Gamma watch, startled.) (Several more Avatars step toward them, but Paige raises her hand, a menacing potions bottle clutched in her grip.)
PAIGE: Uh! I wouldn't do that if I were you.
GAMMA: What are those?
ZANKOU: I think you know what they are.
PHOEBE: And I think you know what he is.
ALPHA: What's the meaning of this?
Sunnydale:
Buffy gasped as she found herself back on the streets of Sunnydale surrounded by slumbering people. She brought a hand to her chest finding no wound, she watched as the people slowly awoke letting out a sigh of relief as they all appeared normal.
"The world has been restored." A voice called from behind her. She turned to find one of the Elders standing there smiling.
"But how, I'm alive." She began confused.
"Time has been rolled back. It is if it never happened, they wont remember." He explained.
"Leo did it." Buffy smiled. "He found a way."
"We owe you a great deal Miss Summers." He replied. "We have a gift for you."
"Since you have cut ties with the council we wanted to offer our assistance to you." Another explained.
"How?" She asked skeptically.
"We have made Kyle Brody a white lighter, to reward him for his sacrifice. We have assigned you as his first charge." He explained.
"While he wont be able to help as much as he would without the hell mouths interference with our magic, he will be able to provide you some assistance and information as well as a link should you ever need to call on us." Another elder explained.
"What the hell?" She asked as the world around her including the elders froze. "Who are you?"
"I'm the Angel of Destiny." He replied.
