As Buffy held onto the sobbing Dawn her eyes focused onto the door, the vampire had his hand on ready to leave, the guilt he felt for making Dawn cry tearing at his un-dead heart. But the pain that the love he felt for the elder Summers woman made him feel like he was being burnt by sunlight from the inside out. He could not stay, he had to leave while he still could, if he stayed, the love he had to Buffy would kill him he knew it would.

"H-h-he's going" sobbed Dawn her body stiffening in Buffy's embrace

"It's your FAULT" she yelled at Buffy ripping herself from her sisters embrace as she ran over to Spike gripping his arm

"Please" she whispered her eyes watering "take me to" Spike sighed softly as he pulled his hand away from the door knob and wrapped his arms around Dawn's shaking figure

"Nibblet... I-I can't, be strong like I know you are" he whispered into Dawns hair

"I can't lose you Spike, your my best friend, you're the brother I never had" she said slowly looking up at Spike.

"Thanks Bit you mean a lot to me to but I can't stay" Spike said slowly

Dawn ripped herself away from Spikes embrace

"Fine, go I'll... I'll" Dawn didn't finish her sentence as she turned to face Willow "Willow do a spell... make me forget"

As Dawn said those words both Spike and Buffy's heart seemed to break a little more.

"Dawnie" started Willow when Tara stepped forwarded



"Dawnie Sweetie, magic is not the answer, you know in your heart of hearts the truth. You heart reveals your inner truths listen to it carefully. The REAL magic is inside us all"

Suddenly a poppy beat filed the air as Tara soft yet beautiful voice filled the air. A magical white glow appearing around her body

It's magic

Mirror mirror on the wall
Can you picture me at all
I could be whatever I want to be
i can make my story change
Just like in a picture frame
Magic spells and fairy tails
Pennies in a wishing well

As Tara sang her pure magic started to move towards each member of the Scooby's and Spike its soft tendrils reaching out... searching


Pick up the pieces
You just look inside

As Tara sang the soft tendrils wrapped around each member and formed a ornate old fashioned mirror in front of their chests.


When you put it together
It's magic
You go alacka, alacka zoom
When you put it together
It's magic
All you need is inside of you
So put it together
And go bibbidi, bobbidi boo

Slowly smoky shadows appear inside the mirrors the gang's eyes widened

"What is this?" whispered Xander

"It appears Tara's song is mixing with her magic and she's created a inner truth spell, which will revealing our true natures" said Giles as he watched the swirling smoke


Everybody has their chains
Sometimes it's like it never seems
that your wish will change to reality
But if you feel you had enough


Don't you think of giving up
There's no mountain you can't climb
One step at a time

All that you needed
Was there all the time

Slowly the form of a dog appeared in Xander's mirror

"Protection and Loyalty" said Giles Xander's chest puffed a little

Next Willows inner self appeared the swirling smoke forming a Badger

"Ah most defiantly Willow the badger, supernatural power, mischief, playful and caring." Giles smiled Willow blushed slightly

Next was Dawn the smoke forming a playful otter

"The Otter" started Giles "Trusting, inquisitive and loyal. Most defiantly you Dawn" Dawn smiled her tears dried up

The swirling smoke around Giles formed a owl

"ah the symbol of wisdom" chuckled Giles


When you put it together
It's magic
You go alacka, alacka zoom
When you put it together
It's magic
All you need is inside of you
So put it together
And go bibbidi, bobbidi boo

Next Anya's mirror reflected a bear

"Anya the bear reflects the ability to discover inner truth about others and has great self awareness, you to a T.. I dare say" said Giles with a chuckle

Tara's own mirrors smoke shifted to form a delicate Deer

"My dear Tara the Deer representing love, gentleness, kindness, gracefulness, sensitivity, and gentleness" the gang turned to Spike and Buffy


All that you needed


Was there all the time

Buffy and Spike's Mirrors slowly dissolved and left the swirling smoke simultaneously the smoke started forming Buffy's forming a powerful eagle and Spikes forming a strong Wolf the two smoky images started moving together slowly moving each smoky figure mirroring the other

"That's...unusual" whispered Willow

Spike and Buffy's eyes were focused on the seemingly dancing smoke images

"My word" whispered Giles "Perfect matches; the Eagle the primary servant of the sun, powerful in battle, the eagle protects the people from evil." Said Giles as he focused on Buffy then he turned his attention to Spike

"The wolf loyalty, determination, faithful, a leader, a teacher, insight and the primary servant to the moon." Finished Giles with a whisper as he watched the dancing figures along with the rest of the gang everyone quite shocked by the revelations on their inner selves and each other's true inner self.

When you put it together
It's magics
You go alacka, alacka zoom
When you put it together
It's magic
All you need is inside of you
When you put it together
It's magic
You go alacka, alacka zoom
When you put it together
It's magic
All you need is inside of you
So put it together
And go bibbidi, bobbidi boo

As Tara finished the last notes of her songs the smoky animals slowly disappeared, the tension in the room could be cut with a knife and the silence was deafening

"Giles" whispered Dawn "Spikes true inner self isn't evil"
