"Yeah, It's me." He said smiling.
"And, your good right?" She asked warily.
"Yup." He replied.
"You'd better be, or I'd kick your ass." She said shaking her head. "And the future, it's not..."
"It's good, well evil still exists but, it's nothing like what you and Chris fought to fix." He explained noting the look of pain at the mention of his brother's pain.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"I came to see you." He replied.
"You wasted your time." She said bitterly. "Go home, go back to the future where you belong."
"No." He said determinedly.
"What do you mean no?" She asked annoyed.
"I'm not going anywhere, not without you." He replied.
"And what's there for me? Why should I go to the future?" She demanded. "Don't you get it, I don't have one. I have a past, some semblance of a present but, no future."
"Only because you don't want one." Wyatt shot back.
"Don't tell me what I want. Don't presume to know me. I never wanted, I never asked for any of it. I just want to be left alone. Can you get that." She yelled turning to walk away.
"If you wont do it for yourself, then do it for Chris, he needs you." Wyatt called after her. She paused not bothering to turn around.
"He's better off without me." She said walking away.
Future:
"So will you go?" Dawn asked hopefully.
"No, I can't." He replied.
"Oh, I understand." She said disappointedly.
"No, you don't. I would go, really I would Dawn. I'm not the right person. She wont listen to me either. But, I think I know someone she might listen to." He explained. "Don't give up hope, you just go home to those beautiful kids of yours. Kyle and I will handle this."
"Thank you." She said throwing her arms around him.
"I'll be right back." Kyle said orbing them out. "So, where are we going?" He asked orbing back in a few seconds later.
"Watcher Headquarters, There's an old friend I think will be perfect for the job." He replied.
Past:
Wyatt slumped defeatedly against the wall. He knew it wouldn't be easy but, it seemed she'd already given up.
"Giving up so soon?" A voice asked from the shadows.
"What, who are you?" Wyatt demanded.
"Oh, the kid and I go way back." He said stepping from the shadows. "Never saw it turning out like this though but, then again when she's involved things never do."
"You're a demon." Wyatt said nervously clutching the potion his mother gave him.
"Going to vanquish me." He laughed. "Wont work but, don't worry I'm one of the good guys."
"What are you doing here?" Wyatt asked.
"I don't think you realize what you've gotten yourself into." He continued ignoring Wyatt's question. "Your in over your head."
"I know what I'm doing." Wyatt said defensively.
"Do you?" He asked. "Because it's easy to change the future, to change circumstances but, to change a person, well that's damn near impossible."
"So you think it's hopeless, I should just give up?" Wyatt asked.
"No, I told you I'm one of the good guys. We always have hope. But, it wont be easy. I just hope your prepared to see this through." He replied walking away. "Tell the kid I said hello."
"Wait, you never told me your name." Wyatt called after him.
"Just call me Whistler." He said fading back into the shadows.
"So?" Piper asked anxiously as he orbed back into the manor.
"How did it go?" Leo asked.
"It went, well let's just say it went." Wyatt replied.
"That bad." Piper said disappointed.
"I'm not giving up yet." Wyatt replied determinedly.
Buffy looked around her small shabby apartment sighing as she fell onto the couch pulling a blanket over herself.
"Buffy." Chris said pulling her attention away from the buttons of his shirt. "I think I might be in love with you."
"Don't say that." She replied a few tears escaping as she tried to blink them back.
"I'm sorry." Chris began pulling away but she grabbed his arm stopping him.
"It's just, how am I supposed to let you go now?" She asked tearfully. "I don't know how to say goodbye."
"Then don't." Chris replied. "We may not have each other but, you'll always have my heart." She smiled as he wiped away her tears.
"I wish that was true." She whispered sadly.
