Chapter 83: A Knight to Remember
In Prue's room. Buffy walks in and sits on the bed. She picks up a small gold necklace with the word 'Prue' on it. She puts on Prue's leather jacket and walks out of the room, closing the door behind her.
Down in the kitchen Piper is making a cup of coffee.
Phoebe comes in with wet hair. "Look at me. I look like a drowned rat. I need my blow dryer."
"Pretend you're camping." Piper says.
"I hate camping." Phoebe says as Buffy walks into the kitchen still wearing the jacket.
"Well, I hate instant coffee but I'm drinking it, aren't I?" Piper says she takes a sip and pulls a face.
"We can't keep living with no electricity. It's medieval." Buffy says.
"At least we're conserving energy." Piper says.
Phoebe shakes her head, "Well, this is ridiculous. We have to figure out when the Shocker demon's gonna attack next and fast."
Piper sighs, "But we still need the Power of Three to vanquish him and unfortunately, number three lives across town." She looks at Buffy, "Isn't that…?
Phoebe walks over to the phone. "I am going to call her." She picks up the phone.
Buffy sighs and nods, "Prue's jacket, yes. And this." She pulls the necklace from under her shirt and they see the necklace with the word 'Prue' on it. "If you want me too I will put them back."
Piper frowns, "Not the cordless!" She looks at Buffy and then shakes her head, "No. As long as Phoebe as no objections you can keep them."
Phoebe drops the phone and the Shocker demon escapes. "Uh-oh."
The Shocker demon jumps on a table and throws electricity near them, blowing up a cupboard. He throws more electricity, this time hitting Piper and Phoebe. Piper gets up and uses her power and scares it through an electrical outlet. Piper and Buffy kneels beside Phoebe.
"You okay?" Buffy asks.
Phoebe shakes her head, "No, I am not okay. Ow. Ow. Ow. This is so crazy. We have to call Paige and set up a time where she can come over and…"
Piper sighs, "Phoebe, we can't schedule vanquishes, okay? Demon attacks don't usually fit into the day planners."
"Okay, then, what do you suggest?" Phoebe asks.
"I suggest that maybe, Paige move in with us." Piper says as she goes and sits at the table.
"Wait." Phoebe says as she sits at the table. "W-what did you just say to me?"
"Well, she's gonna have to sooner or later, isn't she?" Piper asks.
Buffy sits down at the table.
"I never really thought about it. And I can't believe you, of all people, are actually suggesting it." Phoebe says.
Piper sighs, "I am just trying to be practical. Besides, I am sick and tired of Leo watching over her day and night, protecting her from various demons. You know, I would actually like to see my husband again."
"Tell me you weren't having…" Buffy says.
Phoebe shakes her head, "And I can understand that, but still that's a huge decision. Do you think we're ready for that?"
Piper nods, "All I know is that every demon who is out to impress the Source is attacking us. Which means we all need to be under one roof. Otherwise, we're too vulnerable." She looks at Buffy, "Of course I was, Buffy. You really think I wouldn't? I worry about you. I'm just glad you decided to move back in."
Phoebe sighs, "I didn't mean are we ready as witches. I meant are we ready as sisters? I mean, what if we don't get along?"
Buffy shakes her head, "We didn't always get along with Prue either."
"Yeah, but that's different. Piper and I grew up with her. You lived with her for three years. Eventually we had to get along. I still half expect to see her walk through the door. Maybe it's just too soon." Phoebe says.
Piper sighs, "Then there's only one way to find out."
Later outside Paige's apartment Buffy, Piper and Phoebe walk up to the front door. Leo orbs in front of them, just as Phoebe's about to knock and she knocks on him.
"Oh!" Phoebe says.
Leo smiles, "Hi."
"Sorry." Phoebe says.
"Hey, what's up?" Leo asks.
"What's up? How about a kiss for your long-lost wife, huh?" Piper says.
Leo smiles, "Oh, right." He kisses her on the cheek.
"Hi." Piper says.
"Well, uh, bye." Leo says.
Buffy shakes her head, "Uh, what do you mean bye? We just got here."
Leo nods, "Right, well, you know. I don't want to leave Paige unprotected."
"Uh-huh. Is she home?" Piper says as she heads for the door but Leo stops her.
"Yeah, she's home. She's just a little, uh, indisposed at the moment." Leo says.
"W-wait, wait, you watched? What are you, like a peeping angel?" Piper says.
"Well, I didn't see anything!" Leo says.
Buffy frowns, "Uh? Tell me you weren't playing peeping Whitelighter when Piper was having you watch me."
Leo sighs, "All right, just a little, but how else am I supposed to protect her? And I did watch you just a little Buffy. I had to make sure you were alright."
Inside Paige and Glen are making out on the bed. Paige has her top off. Phoebe barges in, covering her eyes. Leo, Piper and Buffy runs in after her. Paige jumps up and covers her chest.
"Sorry to interrupt. Can't see a thing." Phoebe says.
"Phoebe!" Piper and Buffy says.
"Wh-?" Phoebe says.
Paige frowns, "Buffy, Piper, Leo, what the hell is going on?"
"I know this looks bad, but it's very important. Believe me." Phoebe says as she sees Glen. "Whoa."
Piper smacks her on the arm.
"Who are they?" Glen asks.
"The soon to be ex-sisters and ex-cousin I was telling you about." Paige says.
Phoebe smiles and waves.
"Okay, we're sorry, but you know, we didn't know "which" way to turn if you know what I mean." Piper says.
"Maybe I should go." Glen says as he sits up.
"Oh, uh, here." Leo says and he tosses Glen his jeans.
"Thanks." Glen says as he puts them on.
"I'm sorry about this Glen. This is horribly embarrassing." Paige says.
"I have to agree with Paige. Pheebs would you have done the same thing to me if I still lived in the dorms?" Buffy asks.
"No worries. You obviously got some responsibilities. Plane leaves tomorrow." Glen says and he kisses Paige on the cheek and walks into the bathroom.
"Plane? What plane?" Piper asks.
"Never mind. This better be important." Paige says.
"I can't use my blow dryer." Phoebe says.
Piper nods, "So have you been attacked by the Shocker demon yet?"
"No she hasn't." Leo says.
"How would you know?" Paige asks.
"Oh, because he's been watching you for the last week or so, supposedly for your own protection." Buffy says as she glares at Leo. "He was doing the same thing to me when I was in the dorms at U.C. San Francisco."
Paige frowns, "You've been watching me?"
"Well, I didn't see anything." Leo says.
"At least nothing very interesting." Phoebe says.
"Right." Piper says.
Paige frowns, "That's it. Out!" She gets out of bed.
"But-but-but we need to talk to you about the Shocker Demon because…" Piper says.
Buffy shakes her head, "Give it a rest, Piper. Paige has a right to be angry right now."
Paige nods, "Out!"
Phoebe sighs, "We can't vanquish him without the Power of Three."
"Out!" Paige says.
Piper frowns, "And you're not at the manor, so, ever…"
Paige slams the door shut.
"I think that went fairly well." Phoebe says, sarcastically.
Buffy shakes her head, "Piper I know you were worried about both Paige and myself. But you crossed a line having Leo watch us."
Later back at the manor Paige is knocking on the door. Buffy opens it as Piper stands beside her.
"Alright! Calm down!" Piper says.
Paige walks in. "At least I knocked."
"You have every right to be mad," Buffy says. "I know because I'm mad at Piper for the same reason."
Piper sighs.
Phoebe comes in from the living room. "Hey, Paige."
"I'm not here to talk to either of you or Piper." Paige says. "I'm just here to look at the Book of Shadows." She heads for the stairs.
"Hey, hey, we said we were sorry." Phoebe says.
Buffy shakes her head, "Pheebs, sorry isn't going to cut it. Piper crossed a line when she had Leo watch us."
Paige nods in agreement, "Right." She starts going up the stairs.
"What do you think about moving in with us?" Piper asks.
Paige stops.
"Oh-uh..." Phoebe says.
Buffy shakes her head, "You just put your foot in it, Piper."
"Excuse me?" Paige says, angrily.
"Well, that's what we came to talk to you about. You know, we're tired of getting attacked by demons here and not being able to do anything about it." Piper says.
"Yeah. But we could do something about it if we were together. You know, if we lived together 'cause that's when we're the strongest. What do you say?" Phoebe says.
"Are you two out of your freaking minds?" Paige asks and she storms upstairs.
Buffy shakes her head, "Piper you really should have waited till she calmed down before asking her to move in."
They follow Paige up into the attic, she is flipping through the Book of Shadows. Piper and Phoebe walk in.
"So, you're not even gonna consider this?" Phoebe asks.
"Nope." Paige says.
"I don't blame you." Buffy says.
"Why not?" Piper asks.
"Because if it was that easy for you guys to barge into my room all the way across town, imagine how easy it would be if I actually lived here." Paige says.
"Okay, could you stop looking at the book for a second?" Piper says.
"No. It's my book too." Paige says. "But if you really have a problem with it. I could look through Buffy's. I'm sure she wouldn't mind."
Buffy shakes her head, "Nope. Look away."
Piper looks to Buffy as if to say you're not helping, "If you lived here, you could look at it all the time."
Paige looks up at them. "I understand why you guys are asking me, I really, really do. It's just, I don't want being a witch to take over my life. It's just… too much responsibility."
Phoebe smiles, "We know it is, Paige. And believe me, I freaked out in the beginning too. But we didn't have a choice, and neither do you."
"Why not? Aren't you the one who told me I should fight like hell to keep my life separate from magic?" Paige says.
"Unfortunately, it doesn't always work out that way." Piper says.
"Well, maybe it would if I didn't live here." Paige says.
Buffy nods, "In this Piper is right. I tried to get away from it. I ran away from home. Lived in Los Angeles for two months. In the end I couldn't get away from it. It found me in L.A. just as easily as it found me here."
"If you're looking for the Shocker demon spell, we already found it." Phoebe says.
"I'm not. I'm looking for something else." Paige says.
"What? Look, you may not want to share a bathroom, but when it comes to that book, it concerns all of us." Piper says.
Phoebe nods, "Besides that, maybe we can help." She goes over to Paige.
Buffy nods, "We can, Paige."
Paige sighs, "Okay. I know it sounds stupid, but when I was little, I invented this horrible little fairy tale and it just always seemed really real to me. I don't know. Just…" She turns to a page with "The Evil Enchantress" written on it. "Oh my God."
"The Evil Enchantress?" Phoebe asks.
Paige nods, "That's it. That's-that's the evil witch, the one who kills the Prince after he gets her pregnant, of course."
Piper sighs, "Of course." She and Buffy move beside Paige.
"The spell. I can't believe it." Paige says as she looks at the next page 'To Call a Lover to Oneself'. "Bring together my Prince and me, let him fall on bended knee," Buffy, Piper and Phoebe try to stop her. "I summon him to my side, that he may take me to be his destined bride. I finally got to finish it."
A gust of wind blows and the Prince appears. He looks around and sees Paige and kneels down. "My love."
Paige runs downstairs into the kitchen. The Prince follows, followed by Buffy, Piper and Phoebe.
"Why do you run from me?" Prince says.
"Why are you chasing me?" Paige asks.
"Because we are meant to be together." Prince says.
Paige shakes her head, "That is not true. Does this look like King Arthur's court, buddy?"
"It doesn't matter. We're meant to conceive an heir, my love." Prince says.
Paige frowns, "Ugh. Stop saying that."
"You guys want some privacy?" Phoebe says.
Buffy shakes her head, "That is not funny."
Paige nods in agreement as the Prince walks over to her. "Plate." A plate orbs into her hand and she breaks it over his head. He groans and kneels down.
"Oh!" Paige says.
"I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?" Paige says.
Prince shakes his head, "You could never hurt me, my love." He starts kissing her hand.
"Piper, do that thing you do." Paige says.
Buffy nods, "Yeah freeze him."
"I-I don't want to blow him up." Piper says.
"Well, risk it. He's using his tongue." Paige says as Piper freezes him. She pulls her hand away and wipes it on her top. "Thank God chivalry is dead. He is getting on my last nerve."
"Okay, well, he must be under some kind of spell." Phoebe says.
"Gee, you think?" Piper says, sarcastically.
Paige nods, "The evil Enchantress. She cast a love spell on him."
"So why is Sir Lust-a-lot lusting after you?" Piper asks.
"How should I know?" Paige asks.
"Well, because it's your damn fairy tale and it's alive and frozen in our kitchen." Piper says.
Paige walks out of the kitchen.
"Uh, where are you going?" Phoebe says.
"I can't handle this." Paige says as Piper and Phoebe follow her. She heads for the door.
Buffy shakes her head. Today is just going from bad to worse real quick. She turns and follows them.
"Wait, Paige, you can't just leave." Piper says.
"Yes I can. I don't live here." Paige says.
Phoebe sighs. "Paige."
"What?" Paige asks.
"Pheebs." Buffy says, warningly.
Phoebe sighs, "Look, you can't keep running away from these things." Paige opens the front door. "That's what we're trying to tell you. Being a witch is not a part-time job."
"Yeah, well, if I don't leave now, I'm not going to have a full-time job." Paige says and walks out the door.
"Paige, the Charmed Ones come first!" Piper says.
"The Charmed Ones come first?" Buffy asks.
"It always worked when Prue said it." Piper says.
Buffy sighs, "Piper this is not something we can fix by being witches or the Charmed Ones."
In the living room. The TV is on and the VCR is recording.
"The home also features a spacious kitchen complete with granite counter tops and state of the art confection oven." Buffy, Phoebe and Piper walk past. "The walk in pantry provides ample space…"
"The VCR? Who set it to record?" Piper asks as the tape is ejected and the Shocker demon escapes out of the VCR. Piper uses her power and blows up the TV. The demon appears behind them. It throws electricity at Buffy, throwing her over the couch. Phoebe levitates and kicks but the Shocker demon grabs onto her leg and starts electrocuting her. Piper pushes it out of the way using a coat stand. Phoebe falls on the floor. Piper uses her power and the demon escapes through the electrical outlet. "Phoebe."
"I'm okay, I think." Phoebe says as she stands up.
Buffy stands up from behind the couch, "I'm alright if anybody was wondering."
"We've gotta convince Paige to move in with us soon before there's nobody left to move in with." Piper says.
"I guess we need a new TV." Phoebe says.
"Oh, the Prince." Piper says.
Phoebe frowns, "The Prince." They go into the kitchen. The Prince is gone. "He's gone? What? Did he go back to fairy tale land?"
Buffy shakes her head, "No such luck. The back door is wide open. So he probably went after Paige."
Phoebe gets a bottle of water out of the fridge. "He left? So he's just wondering around in chain mail?"
"It's San Francisco. Nobody will notice." Piper says.
"Well, sooner or later, somebody's gonna notice and the medieval trail's going to lead them right back to us." Phoebe says.
Buffy nods, "I'll try scrying for him and if that doesn't work, I'll flame Paige back here and hopefully the Prince will follow."
"Maybe we should try a different approach with her." Phoebe says.
"She's not gonna come back here voluntarily." Piper says.
Phoebe shakes her head "No. I mean about getting her to move in. I think Buffy is right we aren't going to get her to move in as a witch or a Charmed One. Besides maybe it's too soon for her too."
Later in the living room Buffy's scrying, and Phoebe's watching.
Piper walks in, on the phone. "Darryl. Darryl. Darryl! Slow down. Okay, car jackings happen all the time. Why are you calling us? A garbage truck?"(She sits down on the couch. "At sword point. We'll get back to ya." She hangs up.
"Please don't tell me that the police found him." Phoebe says.
Piper shakes her head, "Not yet. Buffy?"
Buffy shakes her head, "Nothing. I mean, he's not a witch and he's not a demon, so…"
Piper nods, "Alright, Buffy. Fla…" Leo orbs in. "…me to Paige. Hi"
"Hi." Leo says.
"Where's Paige?" Phoebe asks.
"Paige? She didn't wanna come." Leo says.
Piper frowns, "She what? Did you explain the situation to her?"
Leo nods, "Yes."
"And she still refused to come? Leo, we are up to our pointy little hats in demonic problems here. We need her." Piper says.
"She knows that." Leo says.
"I don't understand. We're her sisters." Phoebe says.
"Yeah, but that's not the reason you need her." Leo says.
"Is there more to that or are you just gonna leave us hanging?" Piper asks.
Leo shakes his head, "Look, I don't want to get in the middle of this, this is between you guys. But I will tell you that just wanting her to battle demons with you isn't enough of a reason to get her to move in."
Piper nods, "It's a pressing reason."
Buffy nods, "But it's not a sisterly one."
"Look, in the meantime, you need to find the Prince before he exposes you. So I suggest you check with the Book of Shadows and get up to speed on Paige's fairy tale and I will check with the Elders and see what they know." Leo says and he orbs out.
Buffy nods, "I'm in agreement with Leo, just asking her to move in to fight demons isn't enough. Now if you will excuse me. I believe I'm going to go talk to someone."
"Buf…" Piper says as Buffy flames out "…fy."
At South Bay Social Services. The Prince walks in and pushes a guy out of the way.
In the copy room. Paige looks out and opens the door.
The Prince walks in. "At last, I found you."
"How?" Paige asks. Buffy flames in. "Buffy!"
Buffy smiles, "Sorry I just thought you might want someone to talk to. Oh you found the Prince."
Paige shakes her head, "No I didn't. He found me."
"I followed your heart, my love." Prince says as she pulls him in the room and closes the door.
"You can't be here. You need to leave with Buffy now before security comes." Paige says.
"I will not leave until you are with child." Prince says.
Paige sighs, "Okay, A) I always use protection and B) you're a fairy tale."
The Prince reaches out to touch her cheek and she backs away. "I won't harm you."
Buffy shakes her head, "Paige he's under a spell. I doubt he's going to leave you alone."
Paige sighs, "Just keep that sword of yours sheathed pal." She backs into the photocopier and accidentally turns it on. The Shocker demon escapes out of it and starts electrocuting Paige."
"Paige!" Buffy says.
The Prince gets out his sword and slices the demon. Paige falls to the floor. The Shocker demon escapes though the electrical outlet. The Prince and Buffy helps Paige up.
"Fear not. I've slain the beast, my love." Prince says.
Paige smiles, "You most certainly have."
"That was the Shocker demon. He'll be back." Buffy says.
Mr. Cowan bangs on the door. "Hey, Paige! Paige, you all right in there?"
"I will stay forever by your side. Every moment of every day, you would know you were protected, desired, loved." Prince says.
Paige smiles, "That's so sweet."
"Who knew you were a hopless romantic, Paige." Buffy says, smiling.
"Paige! Paige!" Mr. Cowan says and he gets the door open. "Paige, what the hell is going on? W-who is this guy? What is your cousin doing here?"
Buffy smiles, "Renaissance Fair. Yeah, we're trying to score tickets for the orphanage."
Paige nods, "Yeah, see ya." She, Buffy and Prince leave.
Later in Paige's apartment. Buffy and Paige are sitting on the couch. The Prince kneels down before Paige.
"I still can't believe that you exist, that you're actually real. I always wanted to save you from the evil Enchantress so you could live happily ever after." Paige says.
"Be with me and I shall. Come with me. Live in my castle as my princess." Prince says.
"What is it with everyone wanting me to move in with them?" Paige asks.
Buffy sighs, "Paige about that. While I understand Piper's reasons. You shouldn't do it because of that. Yes it would be easier to protect each other with the Power of Three under one roof. But you shouldn't be pressured into moving in until you're ready."
Paige smiles, "Thanks Buffy. That means a lot. Too bad Piper and Phoebe don't understand it that way."
"I can give you all the riches you desire. I can take you away from all of this." Prince says.
Buffy nods, "When I left them, Phoebe seemed to be coming around. Give it time, Piper will to."
"I hope your right, Buffy." Paige says before turning to the Prince. "As tempting as that is, I know it's just the spell talking."
"But isn't that what true love is?" Prince says as he sits down on the couch beside Paige on the opposite side from Buffy. "Falling under someone's spell? Just tell me what you want and I'll give it to you. I swear."
"Can you make me as good as Prue was?" Paige says.
"Uhh..." Prince says.
Buffy shakes her head, "Is that what this is all about? Prue? You don't think your good enough?"
Paige sighs, "Buffy have you seen her room? It's like a shrine."
Buffy nods, "Yeah. Where do you think this jacket came from or this necklace. I'm as guilty as Piper and Phoebe. While Piper, Phoebe and I are finally moving on, we've been grieving. Prue's death hit me and Piper the hardest. Or have you forgotten the incident with the furies?"
Paige sighs, "I see your point. It's hard to let go of things when someone close to you dies. I know because I tried to keep some of my parents stuff when they died."
Leo orbs in with Piper and Phoebe.
"Hey!" Piper says and she freezes the Prince.
Paige gasps and stands up quickly. "What is going on with this barging in thing? This is getting ridiculous."
Buffy shakes her head and stands up, "Piper."
"Sorry." Piper says.
"What are you doing here anyway? I told you I'd call if I needed to. In fact with Buffy here I could just have her flame me over." Paige says.
Leo nods, "Well, something's come up. Something you're not gonna like."
"Something worse than this?" Paige asks.
Phoebe nods, "The evil Enchantress is here, in our world. She nearly killed us trying to get to him."
"Oh my Goddess." Buffy says. "Are you guys alright?"
Paige sits down.
"We're fine, Buffy." Piper says. "Besides that's not the worse part. Remember how we were wondering how she cast a spell on him, but he fell for you, Paige?"
Paige nods, "Yeah."
Phoebe sighs, "Well, that's because you're her. Well, I mean… she-she's…"
"You… uh, her… help." Piper says.
Buffy shakes her head, "I don't know why I didn't think of it before. Especially when Phoebe and my past life went and bit us in the ass. What they're trying to say is that you were the evil Enchantress in one of your past lives."
Leo nods, "So when you read the spell in the Book of Shadows, he came."
"And that's also why you remember the fairy tale so well. Because you've actually lived it once before." Piper says.
"Okay! I can deal with this. Yeah. No wonder I related to her the most. Does this mean I'm evil?" Paige says.
Piper nods, "Yeah."
Phoebe shakes her head, "No!"
"No." Buffy says.
Phoebe nods, "No. Not you. Just your past self. You've grown and evolved. Believe me, we… we all have. That's what we do."
"Right." Paige says.
"So, the plan is to bind the Enchantresses powers with this little potion." Piper says as she, Phoebe, and Leo each hold up a little bottle.
"I'll do it." Paige says as she stands up and takes Piper's bottle.
"All right. Then we'll…" Piper says.
"No. I mean by myself. I put you guys in danger. I'll get you out of it. It's my story. I have to end it once and for all." Paige says.
"Paige, I think it might be a good idea if you had someone along. I could go with you, flame you out if you get in to trouble." Buffy says.
Paige nods, "Alright. But just you, no one else. And only if I need you. I still want to do this by myself. So stay on the sidelines."
Buffy sighs and nods, "Okay."
"You don't even know how to find the Enchantress." Leo says.
Paige nods, "Well, she's after the Prince, right? We'll just backtrack and surprise her."
"There's no reason for you to do this alone. It's not just your story anymore. You've got sisters now." Phoebe says.
"But, uh, if you wanna do it by yourself, then go for it." Piper says.
"I do." Paige says.
"Yeah. If that's what you want, we'll be here. Uh, with the Prince." Piper says as Paige and Buffy leaves.
On the street Buffy and Paige gets in Paige's car. They see the Enchantress walking down the street towards them. Paige starts the car and tries to drive towards her but the Enchantress uses her power and blows the car back. The car tires pop. Buffy and Paige gets out.
"Remember alone, please." Paige says.
Buffy sighs and nods. She steps back reluctantly. She understands wanting to do it alone. But alone can get you killed. She found that out the hard way when she went to face the Master two years before. If she had brought at least Prue or Piper she might not have drowned. So she waits for Paige to realize she can't do it alone.
"Don't tell me I become good in the future." Enchantress says.
Paige smiles, "Damn good." She throws the potion towards her, but the Enchantress zaps it with her power.
"And here I was so looking forward to meeting myself." Enchantress says as she blows Paige and Buffy onto the car and smashes the windscreen. They are knocked unconscious.
In Paige's apartment. Piper looks at Leo. "What is it?"
"Something's wrong. Paige and Buffy are in trouble." Leo says.
"Well go, go, go!" Piper says.
Leo orbs out.
The Enchantress barges inside. "Remember me?"
On the street Leo orbs in and heals Paige and then Buffy. They wake up.
"What happened?" Leo asks.
"Evil Enchantress." Buffy says. "She could possibly rival a power of three."
A bright light shines out of Paige's apartment.
"Oh no." Paige says as Leo helps her and Buffy off the car.
In Paige's apartment Piper and Phoebe dive over the bed.
"Come to me, my Prince." Enchantress says.
A portal opens in the room. The Prince walks through. The Enchantress sends a gust of wind towards Piper and Phoebe and walks through the portal.
"We can't just let them get away." Phoebe says.
"What are we supposed to do? Go back to the middle ages, the dark ages, or whatever hell ages those are?" Piper asks.
"If we don't, good magic will be gone forever." Phoebe says.
Piper jumps through the portal. Leo and Paige walk in.
"No." Paige says as Phoebe jumps through the portal. The portal closes. "What have I done?"
Buffy and Leo look at where the portal opened.
"This is all my fault. Piper and Phoebe were crazy to trust me. Why didn't I listen to them?" Paige says.
Leo shakes his head, "Now is not the time to lose it, Paige. We need to get them back."
Buffy nods, "Leo's right."
"Get them back? What do we do? Hop on a bus to Medieval times?" Paige asks.
"Paige, concentrate. You're a powerful witch, whether you like it or not." Leo says.
"Yeah, well, I wasn't powerful enough to take out the Enchantress, was I?" Paige says.
Buffy shakes her head, "One thing your past life should tell you is that you've always been powerful. You still have that power inside of you. Don't be afraid to tap into it now."
Leo smiles, "You'd make a pretty good Whitelighter, Buffy."
Paige sighs. "Okay. This is my fairy tale, right?"
"No thanks, Leo. You can keep it." Buffy nods.
Leo looks to Paige and nods, "Yes."
"This all started with a spell that brought the Prince here, so maybe if I rearrange it a little? What if instead of bringing the Prince to me, I bring myself to him?"
"Creating your own portal?" Buffy asks.
Paige nods, "It's worth a shot. Bring together my Prince and me, his kingdom now I wish to see, crossing history to his side, from myself I will not hide." The portal opens up. "Oh my God. I did it. It worked." Paige and Buffy goes through the portal. Leo goes over to it. Paige pops her head out. "Come on. Buffy and I are not doing this by ourselves." She pulls Leo in the portal.
Somewhere in the 1600's in the Enchantress' bedroom. The Prince is lying on the bed. The Enchantress walks in in her nightgown. Buffy, Paige and Leo peek around the corner near by.
"Okay, find Phoebe and Piper. I'll try to hold her off till they get here." Paige says.
Buffy shakes her head, "How? Our powers don't work in the past. The only thing not affected by time travel is my Slayer abilities."
"Yeah, but if we really are one in the same, I should be able to tap into hers. Hurry. Go get our sisters." Paige says.
Buffy smiles and nods, "Be right back. Come on, Leo." She and Leo walk away.
Moments later in the castle dungeon Leo and Buffy walks in.
"Piper!" Leo says.
"Piper, Pheebs!" Buffy says.
"Leo! Buffy!" Piper says.
"Phoebe!" Leo says. He runs over and tries to unlock the Piper's locks while Buffy tries to unlock Phoebe's locks.
"Oh! Easy, easy." Piper says.
A guard comes up behind Leo and Buffy.
"Behind you!" Phoebe says.
The guard pushes Leo away. He then goes to push Buffy away and she ducks as Leo grabs a sword off the wall and starts sword fighting with the guard. The guard trips Leo.
Buffy turns back to the locks, "Hold on guys. I'll have you free in a minute."
Leo blocks the guard's attack and knocks him out.
Piper smiles, "Nice!"
"Wow." Phoebe says.
Buffy unlocks Phoebe as Leo moves back to Piper.
"Leo. " Piper says.
"I thought you were a pacifist." Phoebe says.
Buffy rolls her eyes.
"I didn't kill him, did I?" Leo asks as he unlocks the Piper's chains.
"I-I gotta tell you, I find this side of you very sexy." Piper says.
Buffy laughs.
"Really?" Leo says, blushing.
Piper nods, "Yeah."
"You've been holding out on us." Phoebe says.
"Hi." Piper says.
"Hi." Leo says.
They hear a zap coming from the bedroom.
"What's that sound?" Phoebe asks.
"Paige is battling the Evil Enchantress." Buffy says. "Potion!"
Leo hands Buffy the potion.
In the bedroom. The Enchantress tries to zap Paige.
"Don't hurt her." Prince says.
Enchantress blows the Prince off his feet. Buffy, Piper, Phoebe and Leo walk in.
"Throw the potion!" Paige says as she blows the Enchantress off her feet. "Now!"
Buffy and Phoebe throw the bottles of potion and they explode in front of the Enchantress.
Enchantress tries to use her power but nothing happens. "What have you done to me?"
"We've bound your powers, Enchantress." Leo says.
"No more kingdom come for you." Phoebe says.
Piper nods, "Not for you."
"Not now, not ever." Buffy says.
"How could you do this to me? To us?" Enchantress asks.
"I didn't do it. We did it." Paige says.
Lady Julia runs in and helps up the Prince. They kiss.
"Oh." Piper says as she looks away.
"I am well, my love." Prince says.
"My love. Looks like it takes the kiss of true love to break the spell." Buffy says.
Paige nods, "It's in every fairytale."
"All right, super witch. Get us out of here." Piper says.
Moments later in Paige's apartment. The portal opens and they step out of it. Paige sees the mess. "Okay, so I won't be getting my security deposit back."
Piper nods, "Yeah. Too bad you don't have any other place to stay."
"It's no pressure. It's totally up to you, whenever you're ready." Phoebe says.
"Be it tomorrow, next year, or next decade." Buffy says.
"Yeah, who needs electricity anyway?" Piper asks.
Paige smiles, "I wouldn't have to stay in the basement would I?"
Buffy, Piper and Phoebe laugh.
"No. Of course not. I think we have a room for you." Buffy says. "A shrine to re-decorate."
Paige smiles and nods. Later in Prue's old room, now Paige's room. Paige opens the door and Buffy, Piper and Phoebe walk in. "Tada! What do ya think?"
"Wow. It's definitely different." Piper says.
Phoebe nods, "It's definitely you."
"Definitely no shrine here." Buffy says and gives Paige a wink.
Paige smiles, "Is that a good thing?"
"Of course it's a good thing." Phoebe says.
"Good, 'cause I was actually thinking the living room could use a little spicing up." Paige says.
Buffy laughs and shakes her head, "Don't push your luck. Even I don't get to redecorate the living room. And I've been living here for three years."
Someone knocks on the front door.
"Oh, I hope that's not another one of your past lives." Phoebe says.
"No, it's just Glen. I asked him to drop by." Paige says.
"Oh, the cute guy from the apartment? He's yummy." Phoebe says.
Paige nods, "Yeah, he is, but he's gonna have to be yummy in Australia. He's leaving. He asked me to go with but, I decided to pass."
"Oh, are you disappointed?" Piper asks.
"A little, but it's not like I'll be lacking in adventures here. Speaking of which." Paige says as she stands near the light switch. "Shall we?"
Buffy smiles and stands back. While she could cast the spell with them. Since it is a power of three spell, she feels Paige should have a chance to do it herself without any augmentation.
Phoebe nods, "Hit it."
Paige turns on the light. The Shocker demon escapes out.
"Vanquish we three witches cry, one final shock and then you die." Piper, Phoebe and Paige chant.
The Shocker demon is vanquished.
Paige smiles, "Okay. Piece of cake. Gotta go. And don't forget... if you need me, please knock."
"Oh and Paige." Buffy says.
"Yeah?" Paige asks.
"As someone who moved into the Manor 3 years ago. Who understands what it's like living with sisters you just met. My door is always open if you want to talk." Buffy says.
Paige smiles, "Thanks, Buffy." She turns and leaves her room.
"And they lived happily ever after." Piper says as Phoebe puts her arms around Piper and Buffy.
"Yeah, right." Phoebe says.
Buffy smiles, "Right."
They walk out of the room.
