The sisters and Chris have Buffy meet them at the Manor. Before she arrives they invite Leo down to learn more about her as well. "Leo!" They yell. Leo orbs in. "What's going on?"
"We are about to have a meeting with Buffy, who apparently has powers." Piper told him. Leo looks stunned at that bit of information. "How come I didn't sense it?"
"I don't know maybe you weren't focusing on that issue." Paige told him.
There was a knock on the door, Phoebe went to go open it. Buffy was standing there, shifting from one foot to the other. "Hi." Phoebe replies, "Hi, come on in."
They enter and Buffy sees that everyone is there, "Wow, full court press. That isn't nerve racking at all." Phoebe and Chris smile at her. Piper and Leo are more suspicious and Paige doesn't know what to make of her.
Buffy sits down in an open seat, "Okay then, where to start?"
"Uh, how about the beginning." Piper said with narrow eyes.
Buffy nods, "Well after an… event occurred in my old home town, I found out that I was adopted and that my parents were witches and they lived here in San Francisco." Paige could now relate to Buffy since she was also adopted. Piper and Leo were wondering about the event that occurred.
Phoebe looked around before asking, "Who are your parents." Buffy shook her head, "I don't think you would have heard of them. I mean I heard that they were powerful, but not well-known." They nodded.
Paige decided to ask, "What are your powers?"
"Uh, I am not actually sure. I mean I know I can somehow create fire, but other than that nothing has developed yet."
Leo, suspicious, "What was this event?"
Buffy narrowed her eyes, "None of your business." She looked around at the others, "Listen, I know I wasn't truthful, but that doesn't entitle you to my whole life story. I just heard about you and thought that you would be able to teach me how to control my powers so I don't hurt anybody."
Chris laughs at the look on Leo's face. Phoebe and Paige also smiled at his reaction. Piper, meanwhile, "How did you hear about us?" This caused some slight tension given the past.
"I met a witch, who fixed my car, who told me about the Charmed Ones, but I didn't know your names, so I went about my life in the beginning. Then I became a waitress and met someone you had saved a while ago and she gave me your names." Buffy looked at the sisters, "You should remember her, Selena, you saved her from a cop witch hunter."
They looked at each other, remembering that problem. After a few moments, "Give us a minute while we discuss." Buffy nods. They all went to the conservatory to talk.
"Well, what do we think?" Phoebe asked, Paige shrugged, "I guess that we could help her, if only to either make sure she isn't evil or to keep her in check and watch her."
"I agree with Paige." Chris said. Leo and Piper also agreed. Phoebe looked at everyone before nodding and heading back into the room. "Alright, you have yourself a deal. We teach you and maybe you can help us sometimes."
"Cool." Buffy claimed beginning to smile. When everyone else followed, "I think I should let you know…" The sisters wondered what she was going to say, "…I am a terrible student." They smiled.
Piper shakes her head, "That's okay, so was Paige." Paige looked affronted. Buffy smiled.
"Come by the Manor tomorrow morning for your first lesson." Piper told her. Buffy nodded before leaving. They waited for her to leave before continuing their conversation. "Hey Leo maybe you could find out who her parents were and what their powers were in order for us to learn what kind of powers that she might have." Leo nodded before orbing away. Chris is trying to remember where he has heard the name Buffy Summers, but it isn't working so he gives up.
The next day, Buffy gets up and goes to work. Piper is there talking about something with another worker when she sees Buffy. She excuses herself and heads towards Buffy. "Buffy!" Buffy waits for her, "What's up?"
"I just wanted to let you know that the first study session is later today after your shift."
"Alright. See you then." Piper leaves after that. Buffy goes back to work while watching TV and sees that Phoebe is interviewing someone about a five minute orgasm, Buffy is thinking, 'It can last much longer than five minutes, but then again I was with a vampire so that changes things' She smirks to herself.
While Buffy was watching this, Piper was back home and was encountered by demon that created vortexes. She calls for Chris and Chris tries to get her to leave. She doesn't want to leave Wyatt so she asks him to get her sisters, but they are too busy. Piper goes after the demon, but her hand slips she is about to be sucked into the portal when she is able to hit the demon, unfortunately she doesn't kill him.
They are cleaning up the mess and talking about the demon when there is a knock on the door, Piper looks at the clock, "Oh that is probably Buffy." Paige goes and opens the door for Buffy. Buffy follows Paige to the conservatory and looks around, "Wow, what happened here?"
"Piper was attacked by a demon and no one was here to help." Buffy looked at Piper concerned, but Piper waved her off. Paige accepts this and says she is sorry, but that she was at a temp job and was 'cut in half' and Phoebe was in the middle of an interview.
Piper mentioned that she was watching it when the demon attacked. Buffy nodded, "Yeah I was watching as well. It was interesting…" Phoebe and Piper noticed that she drifted off and then had a smirk. Phoebe felt what she was feeling, "Ooh, that feeling is interesting and great." Buffy looks confused.
"Oh right we didn't have the powers conversation." Piper mentioned, silently hoping to learn more about this feeling. Buffy shook her head.
Piper goes first, "Well I have the ability to stop time or speed it up so much that it makes things explode."
"Cool."
Phoebe went next, "I have premonitions and I can levitate and recently I have gained empath powers which means I can feel what you feel."
"That's awkward."
Paige is last, "I'm half white lighter so I have telekinesis, but with a white lighter side effect."
"Wow, all of your powers seem really cool. I guess that is what you meant about the feeling you had just a minute ago."
Phoebe nods before smirking, "Now why don't you tell us what you were feeling when watching my show."
Chris was looking through the Book of Shadows appearing to not pay attention, but he was in fact paying close attention.
Buffy sighed, "It's nothing really, it's just that the last boyfriend that I had could make me have a longer than five minute orgasm."
The sisters just stared at her, "That seems like either good luck on your part or also painful if it lasts longer than five minutes."
Buffy shrugged, "It was good luck and it was great, I-uh- never mind." She blushes realizes that Chris is in the room, the sisters also realize this and glare at him for a moment, but then they realize that he doesn't seem to be paying attention. The sisters turn around towards Buffy and point at her, "We will discuss this later." Buffy smiled.
Piper mentions that she has to finish cleaning before her guests arrive, Paige looks at her, "What guests?" Piper mentions the fashion show that her friend is putting on. Chris is getting annoyed, "Hello, there is a demon that we have to hunt." Buffy looks amused that they sort of ignore him. Chris is trying to explain the situation, but they ignore him and talk about their problems.
Buffy whistles at everyone and they turn to look at her, she smiles sheepishly, "Sorry, but if you have guests coming over, why did you invite me over for a lesson in witches?"
Piper hit her hand against her forehead, "Crap, I forgot about that, sorry."
"It's okay, I can wait, maybe I can even join you at this fashion show, when I was younger I was really into fashion." Piper nods. Chris is getting really annoyed, before huffing and disappearing.
Phoebe was at lunch with Jason and was letting the fame get to her. Piper and Wyatt were baking and Buffy was watching. "You know, I think that I am going to like having you as a friend and teacher if I get cookies and other food cooked for me." Piper looks amused, "Why is that."
"Oh, I can't cook for the life of me. Anything I make is burnt or not cooked all the way through. It is just better if I don't cook unless it is cereal." Piper is laughing when Leo orbs in. Leo is confused before he sees Buffy. He nods to her before looking at Piper and Wyatt. They have a conversation about healing while Buffy was watching in confusion. Leo mentions that he can't take Wyatt today because of a pendant he found. He focuses blame on Chris.
Buffy looks at him, "Why would you blame Chris?" Leo looks at her before answering, "He is from the future and he is hiding something."
"Whoa, hold up! Chris is from the future?" Piper and Leo looked at her, "Whoops, we didn't mention that to you?" Buffy shook her head. Leo left and all of sudden there was a glow of light surrounding Piper. Buffy was confused, but ignored it for the moment, Piper can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"What is the deal with you and Leo? If that isn't too offensive to ask."
"Uh- not offensive. Leo and I were a forbidden romance and then we were allowed to be married and then Wyatt came along. The problem is now. Elders are the bosses of white lighters and they were the ones that forbade us from getting together and when these Titan gods showed up they killed most of the Elders and Leo became one without thinking about the fact that he had a wife and son down here." Buffy nodded in sympathy.
"I get that. I had a couple of forbidden romances in my day that never went right." Piper was curious, but left it alone. Soon her friends were there and they were in the middle of a male fashion show. Paige is dealing with her magic being out in the open while saving a life. Phoebe and Jason were at her show. Leo was accusing Chris of something while he made a potion to deal with the demon. All of sudden many things went wrong in those separate lives of theirs. Piper and Buffy were looking at a blank Book of Shadows, "What does that mean?" Buffy asks, Piper shrugs. They get in the car and then they get into the car crash. They get out, Buffy notices Piper looking at a demon.
She comes around the car and stands next to Piper. "Is he responsible for all of this?" The demon looks confused, "You aren't a part of my world." Buffy shrugs. The demon gets ready to throw the knife when everything becomes glowing and Phoebe and Paige are there as well. They defeat that demon and are spat out in his lair. They figured out what happened. Buffy was more comfortable in this room than any other place she's been. She is looking around when she notices someone on the ground. "Oh my god! Chris!" The sisters look over and realize that Chris looks to be in bad shape.
They call Leo and he heals Wyatt and Chris. Afterwards Buffy comes to the manor and is sitting in the conservatory waiting for the lesson to start. Piper comes into the room with Chris. Buffy notices that she no longer has a cut on her hand. "Well, well. Looks like you are okay with healing after all." Piper shrugs and sits down. They start on the lesson. Buffy finds that she actually pays attention to this, but shrugs it off for now.
When they were done, Buffy turned to Chris, so I hear that you are from the future." Chris stutters a little before nodding. "Why didn't you know who I was then if you are from the future?"
"I probably wasn't paying attention, I only came here because there is a- a demon after Wyatt." Buffy noticed a pause and Chris looking at Piper before answering that question. Buffy hums at that which makes Chris squint at her in suspicion. She just smiles before leaving. Once she is home she goes to a box that she brought with her. It has the lighter that Spike had, some of Angel's things, and some of her mom's things. She smiles sadly at them for a moment before putting them back in the box and going to bed.
AN: Who should Buffy's parents be? Should they be bad guys or good guys or just one bad parent who fell in love with a good person?
