Ok, sorry for the long wait but here's the next Chapter. I'm just started a new story. A lot of people asked me to do a Buffy/Chris pairing set in the future, it sort of my take on the whole sword in the stone thing and how it will play out. Check it out, it's called Once apon a time there were three. Anyways back to this story.

"Ok, you guys will not believe what we just heard." Phoebe exclaimed.

"Let me guess, terrible power, gona kill us all." Wyatt replied dryly.

"One that demon's are more than willing to sacrifice themselves for." Paige added.

"And it's all our fault it's here." Kyle added.

"Um no, well sort of, what did you find out?" Phoebe began a bit confused.

"Wait, were are Buffy and Chris?" Piper asked worriedly.

"Right here." Chris replied orbing them in.

"It was a trap, how'd you guys make out?" Buffy asked sinking into the nearest chair.

"Do you want the good news or bad news first?" Cole asked.

"There's good news?" Buffy asked.

"Well not really, just bad, and worse." Leo replied. "Unless anyone else found out good news."

"Ok then, what's the what?" Buffy asked.

"Basically, we're all going to die." Wyatt said shaking his head.

"Well with an attitude like that how can we lose?" Buffy said sarcastically.

"Well excuse me, some of us haven't died before, and want to keep it that way." Wyatt replied.

"Will you too stop?" Piper asked rolling her eyes. "Ok, what did you find out at the demon bar?"

"That the demons have been working out." Buffy replied.

"Or, your just out of practice." Wyatt countered.

"Really, let's see if I can kick your ass." Buffy said glaring at him.

"They just seemed normal to me." Chris added hesitantly.

"See." Wyatt declared triumphantly.

"Moving on." Paige said before they started again. "Piper and I kept getting attacked. Said they were more than willing to die in 'it's' name, wouldn't tell who it was though."

"The magical community has been feeling a great power building. But, the power of three will be useless against it." Leo explained. "But, they weren't afraid of it. They said it wasn't a threat, but now it suddenly is."

"Because, I'm here now." Buffy replied sadly. "I told you to send me back."

"Sorry, but that's not an option anymore." Kyle replied. "According to the elders, you have to stay until this is resolved. We can't send you home before then."

"Ok, we kick ass, then I go home." Buffy sighed.

"What? Why do we have to send her back at all?" Wyatt asked.

"Because, I don't belong here. As you can plainly see by the great evil caused by my arrival." Buffy replied.

"But what about." Watt began.

"Look, Chris doesn't remember me! This isn't so big fairy tale, there's no happy ending. Because, even if he did, I can't stay. We aren't meant to be together, hell we were never even supposed to meet." Buffy shouted furiously.

"But, he could still remember." Paige began.

"Just stop." Buffy demanded. "He's not going to remember, We're going to win this battle and I'm going back to my own time, wether you like it or not!" She yelled storming out of the attic.

Wyatt was about to ask if someone should go after her when to all their surprise, Chris ran after her.

"Hey." Chris said grabbing her arm as he caught up to her at the bottom of the stairs.

"What do you want?" She demanded.

"Don't I get a say in any of this?" He asked.

"No, you don't." She replied.

"The hell I don't." He began furiously. "You can't just pop back into my life and drop all this in my lap and then just go off on your merry way."

"What the hell do you care, everything you know about me, you read in some book." She countered.

"What about how I feel? Did I read about that too?" He asked. "When I saw you on the bridge, I felt something, a sense of deja vou. And then I couldn't stop thinking about you, so I followed you, after the fight with Angel, I didn't understand why I cared. Even after I found everything out, I still don't understand. So please, explain it to my. Explain why I stayed up all night watching you sleep terrified something was happening to you. Tell me why it breaks my heart to see you cry. Go ahead explain it to me."

"What do you want me to say?" She asked tearfully.

"Why is it so important to you that I don't remember?" He asked.

"Because, it will just make it harder, when I have to go." She replied.

"For who, for me or you?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter." She replied. "This will be over soon, and you'll never see me again."

"Right, that's you solution for everything, isn't it. Things get rough and Buffy runs." He said bitterly.

"That's not fair." She began.

"No, what's not fair is that you get to decide what's best for everyone." He interrupted. "What about what I want?"

"Just stop, please, just drop it." She begged.

"Why?" He demanded.

"Because, I don't want to hurt you!" She screamed.

"Is this about what Barbas did to you?" He asked. "It wasn't real."

"Yes it was." She cut him off. "He didn't create my fears, he didn't show me anything new. He showed me past. He did me a favor. He reminded me that I destroy everyone who cares about me, literally. I wont do that to you, and you can't make me."

"How, how are you going to hurt me?" He demanded.

"I don't know, I just will." She replied.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because, I always do." She shouted.

"No, I don't buy it." He said shaking his head. "What, are you going to mistake me for a vampire and slay me?"

"Don't be ridiculous." She said rolling her eyes.

"Gona beat me up?" He asked smirking.

"This isn't a joke." She said annoyed.

"Hey, you're the one who's 'after me' I just wanna be prepared." He replied

"Shut up." She said trying to hide her smile.

"Oh god no, please don't smile at me." he said mockingly.

"Is it wrong that we're eavesdropping?" Wyatt asked.

"Shh." Phoebe said glaring.

"It's only wrong if they catch us." Paige added.

"Besides, I think I could take you." He added.

"Really?" Buffy grinned.

"Your not that tough." He shrugged.

"Really, tell that to Angel, or Faith, or Anya or Tara, or all the other people I couldn't save, that died because of me." Buffy replied. Frustrated. "You know what, it doesn't matter."

"It matters to me." Chris replied.
