I Know it took me forever to update the last chapter but, I had a lot of trouble writing it. I mean I wasn't sure how I wanted to make them interact. I wanted to keep true to the characters and how they interacted. So I went back and reread my entire story and was like damn this is good, just kidding. But seriously I'm sorry for making you wait so long, I hope it was worth it. Oh Yeah, someone asked me how you find out how many hits your stories have gotten, to do that just log in and click on stats.

"So what should we do?" Jamie asked.

"We, don't do anything." Buffy groaned standing up. "I get to go play referee and hope that those two idiots don't kill each other before I get there. A little help."

"You sure about this?" Kyle asked.

"No, but once again, I don't have a choice." Buffy sighed as He waved his arm orbing her out of the Manor. She opened her eyes trying to get her bearings just in time to duck as the wall behind her exploded. "Damn Magic Boy, I knew he was holding out on me." She said shacking her head.

She stood up watching as Angel threw Chris into the wall wincing as he fell to the ground with a thud. Both looked pretty beat up sighing she stepped between them. "Stop." She begged.

"Buffy." Angel whispered stunned.

"Stay out of this." Chris demanded struggling to his feet.

"Don't talk to her like that." Angel growled.

"Please just go." Buffy asked turning to Angel.

"Me?" He asked confused. "But I didn't, he."

"I know, I'm sorry. But this isn't fair, he doesn't understand what this is about." She replied sadly. "Please Angel, just go."

"Fine." He said spinning around and storming out the door.

"What the hell did you do that for?" Chris asked furiously.

"He didn't attack Bianca." Buffy replied. "Just stay away from him."

"Or what? You'll make me." He spat back.

"Why do you have to make everything so difficult." She exclaimed throwing up her hands. "Fine you want to go after him, go. But, it's pointless. I'm just trying to keep you from getting hurt."

"Look, I know your friends with my parents and aunts but, I don't need a babysitter." Chris replied annoyed. "I sick of this cryptic crap. Everyone's been acting weird and secretive, I just want to know what the hell is going on."

"Sometimes your better off not knowing." She replied.

"I still can't believe my parents know Buffy Summers, well you, I mean it's just weird. I've every book there is about you, and to be honest, your not what I expected." He said sinking to the floor.

"I know, I';m reckless, think I think I can do everything on my own, I'm secretive, and I'm forgetting one. Oh yeah, I'm kind of a ditz." She said with a small smile sitting next to him. "I've heard it before. But, why so impressed, your mom's a charmed one, she's in books and stuff."

"I know, it's just.." He tried to explain. "Your Buffy Summers."

"All my life." She laughed. "But, I still don't get it."

"Huh?' He asked confused.

"Why everyone's so impressed. Why I'm so great." She replied. "I mean, I even knew it was coming. I kept waiting for this big defining moment where I'd prove it wasn't a lie, but it is."

"Um ok, I really don't understand what your talking about." He said confused.

"I'm used to it." She laughed.

"What do you mean you knew it was coming?" He asked.

"You see, I had this friend, about twenty years ago. He was from the future, well I guess it's not the future anymore as much as the present but, time travel is just confusing when put into words. Anyways, he was all impressed with me and stuff and I didn't get it then either so he told me, you're the most powerful slayer ever. And let me tell you I didn't feel very powerful." She explained. "I had just killed Angel and I didn't even want to here about my destiny, the future, I had quit."

"You can't quit being the slayer." He replied.

"I know, but I was trying my hardest to do just that." She replied smiling. "He introduced me to your family, asked me to stay and help them out for a while."

"Why would they need your help?" He asked confused.

"Your mom was out of commission." She explained. "They had a lot of problem and without the power of three they just kept piling up."

"What was wrong with my mom?" He asked concerned.

"You were." She laughed. "She was pregnant. They didn't want her to risk hurting herself, or you."

"Oh." He said sheepishly.

"So anyways." She continued. "Because of him, I found a reason to fight again. I remembered what I was fighting for. But, he never told me why I was so great, so powerful, so famous. I kept waiting for something to happen, to do something but, it never happened, I don't understand why everyone thinks I'm so great. I never did anything special, just what I had to do."

"You defeated the master, a hell god, marched into the mouth of hell, defeated death twice." Chris rattled off.

"Three times." She interjected.

"Excuse me." He asked.

"Techincally I died three times. Long story." She replied. "So that's it huh. I wonder what else is in those books."

"You sacrificed yourself to save the world." He added.

"No I didn't." She replied.

"Yes, you jumped into the portal." He began.

"I know, but it wasn't to save the world." She interrupted. "I didn't care about the world, I did that to save my sister."

"The key?" He asked confused.

"No, Dawn." She replied. "I did it to save her. I could have let her jump, the portal would have closed and I would have lived."

"So why'd you do it, she wasn't really your sister." He asked.

"I know, but she was." She tried to explain. "It was more than that, she was me. Made out of me. I was going to die, maybe not then, not that moment but, soon. Slayers don't live forever. I never had a future, but she could have one. She could have the life I couldn't. And no matter what anyone says, she was my sister. You'd have done the same in my situation."

"How can you be so sure?" He asked.

"I just know." She replied.

"That still doesn't explain why that Angel guy is so weird." He replied.

"Oh, that." She began nervously. "Well lets just say he's not a big fan of the Halliwells."

"Why not?" he asked. "I thought he was good."

"He is." She replied. "But, he I guess, it's hard to explain. After he came back from hell we tried to make things work and they didn't."

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because, I moved on." She admitted.

"The guy from the future?" He asked.

"Yeah." She replied.

"What happened to him?" He asked.

"He died." She replied sadly.

"I'm sorry." he said sympathetically.

"It's ok, he died but, not really. His future self died then, but he saved the future so he's alive now." She tried to explain.

"Saved it from what?" He asked.

"Another long story." She replied.

"So you came here for him?" He asked.

"No. Well that's sort of why your brother brought me here. He thinks he owes me, long story. But your aunts they have this thing where they think doomed romances can have happy ending. It's sweet but annoying." She explained.

"You don't believe in happy endings?" he asked.

"Not for me." She replied sadly. "Anyways, I should go."

"Why?" He asked confused.

"You don't like me, remember." She replied. "We have issues, my ex, your girlfriend, your amazing ability to put your foot in your mouth."

"Oh, yeah." he replied sheepishly.
