Chapter 97: Marry Go Round

At the church where Phoebe and Cole's wedding will be held. Buffy and Piper are arranging some flowers in vases while Phoebe's walking around wearing a microphone.

"Piper, did you check on the cake?" Phoebe asks.

Piper nods, "Yes."

"That's good because I don't want the cake to be delivered until after the linens arrive." Phoebe says.

"I checked on the cake. Could you please take off that microphone?" Piper says.

Phoebe nods, "Yeah, sorry, just checking the sound system." She takes off the microphone. "What about the limo? Buffy, honey, did you book the limo?"

Buffy nods, "It's all taken care of. Along with the DJ, the caterer, the table arrangements and the rice. In fact I made sure that the staff at the club would know that we are closed for a private party."

"Rice? No-no-no-no. We can't throw rice." Phoebe says.

Piper and Buffy look at each other and then at Phoebe.

"Why not?" Piper asks.

"Well, because the birds can't digest it. And they will blow up." Phoebe says.

Buffy nods, "Okay, so we'll throw bird seed. Or-or we'll release balloons."

"No-no, we can't release balloons either. They float to the ocean and the whales mistake them for squid and I can't be thinking about whales washing up on the beach during my wedding, you know what I mean." Phoebe says.

Piper smiles, "Honey, I know you want the perfect day but you need to relax a little bit, and breathe, breathing's good, breathing is your friend."

Paige walks in. "Whoa. Is this a wedding or a coronation?"

"Um, where is my dress?" Phoebe asks.

"Oh, I don't have it." Paige says.

"Ah-h-h, I'm not breathing. What do you mean? How could you forget my dress the day before the wedding? The bridal shop's closed tomorrow." Phoebe says.

Paige sighs, "Relax, it's open tonight, I'm planning on picking it up on my way to the rehearsal dinner."

Phoebe lets out a sigh of relief, "Oh."

"Alright, why don't we sit down." Buffy says.

Phoebe nods, "Oh, yeah, sitting is good." They sits on the pews. "I think I'm a little stressed out. You know, 'cause I just want tomorrow to be perfect, no glitches. Natural or supernatural, you know. No magic, no ghosts." She looks up. "You guys understand that? I just want tomorrow to be nice and normal."

Buffy shakes her head, "No glitches. You're kidding right? Remember Piper's wedding and Prue trashing it."

Phoebe glares at Buffy.

"Honey, I promise you we will have your perfect wedding. By this time tomorrow, you and Cole will be joined in holy matrimony." Piper says.

Later back at the Manor everybody is sitting around the table, including Darryl and Victor, having the rehearsal dinner. They are all giggling.

"And what about Phoebe, who was speed walking down the aisle." Piper says.

"I was not." Phoebe says.

Cole nods, "You left your dad." They laugh. "Okay, attention." He taps his glass with a knife and stands up. "I have something for my groomsmen, two fine gentlemen who I chose to stand by me on the most important day of my life, because well, they're the only ones I know."

"Wow, you have to admire his honesty." Leo says.

Cole picks up two gift bags and hands them to Darryl and Leo. "Here you go."

"Thanks." Leo says as he and Darryl look in the bags.

"Wow, cool, engraved golf balls. Titleist Pro V ones. Thanks, man." Darryl says.

"I don't golf." Leo says.

"Hey, I'll take them." Victor says.

"They've got my name on it." Leo says.

Victor takes them from Leo. "So?"

"And for my three beautiful bridesmaids whom I chose because they're my three best friends in the whole wide world." Phoebe says as she hands them a gift basket.

"Aww, Phoebe." Paige says.

"You shouldn't have, Pheebs." Buffy says.

Phoebe smiles, "There's a bonsai tree for balance and harmony and a dream catcher so that all your dreams will come true, just like mine have."

Paige smiles, "This is so great, tarot cards. My deck is totally trashed this is perfect."

Phoebe nods, "Yeah, that's just in case you need psychic services while me and my new husband are busy getting busy. So you don't have to completely rely on Buffy."

Buffy smiles, "Thanks Pheebs that is most thoughtful."

The phone rings.

"Oh, I hope that's the photographer." Phoebe says.

"Hey, Leo, I got an extra stogie, you wanna join me?" Darryl asks.

Leo shakes his head, "I don't smoke."

"I'll take that." Victor says.

"But I do eat chocolate." Leo says as they stand up.

"Leo, no, wait, wait, wait. No, Leo, we need to wait for everybody else." Piper says as Victor, Darryl and Leo leave the room. She gets up and heads into the kitchen followed by Buffy.

"See what future has in store for Cole and Phoebe." Paige says as she flips over the Lovers card. "Oh." Then she flips over the Despair card, then the Death card. "Oh, no." She looks over at Phoebe.

"You don't really believe that stuff do you?" Cole asks.

"Oh, I am so sorry. There's just so many details. You know, I practically bit Paige's head off today at the church because she didn't pick up my dress on time." Phoebe says.

Paige smiles, "Which is now in the attic. Yay."

"Excuse me, I'll be right back." Cole says as he leaves the room.

Piper comes back in with a plate of food. "So what did the cards say?"

Paige shakes her head. "Oh, nothing."

Buffy and Piper set down the trays.

"Try the cards again, see what comes up." Buffy says. "Got to get in some practice reading them. Don't want to overwhelm me while Phoebe's on her honeymoon."

Cole walks in.

"Oh, uh, maybe later." Paige says.

"So, I don't mean to spoil anybody's fun but I should be going." Cole says.

"Going where?" Leo asks as he walks back in.

"Hotel." Cole says as Phoebe hugs him. "Not supposed to stay in the same house as my bride the night before the wedding, right? But Phoebe has the number in case of emergency."

"Goodnight." Piper says.

Leo nods, "See you later."

Phoebe and Cole head for the door.

"So what are you gonna do on the last night as a single guy?" Phoebe asks.

Cole grabs his coat. "Ooh, if I told you that, you'd never marry me."

"I feel like I am standing at the edge of a cliff right now." Phoebe says.

"You do?" Cole asks.

"Yeah. And somehow I've never felt safer in my whole life. Are you okay?" Phoebe says.

"No. Not really." Cole says as he kisses Phoebe. "You have no idea how difficult you are making this for me."

"I do. But you have to go. You'll have me soon enough." Phoebe says.

"I hope so." Cole says.

"Cole, wait up." Buffy says as she walks into the foyer. "I have a small surprise for my soon to be brother-in-law."

"Cousin-in-law." Cole says.

Buffy shakes her head, "Everyone else already considers me a sister, Cole. You should to."

"Ok." Cole says.

Buffy smiles, "When you go to check out. Don't worry about paying. It's being taken care of. I went by today and I am having them send the bill to the club. It's the least I could do."

Phoebe smiles, "That's nice, Buffy."

Cole nods, "Thank you, Buffy. Well I better get out of here. Take care of my bride here."

Buffy smiles, "Will do."

Cole turns and leaves.

Later that evening in Paige's bedroom. Paige lays the tarot cards on the bed. "What does the future have in store for Phoebe and Cole?" She flips one card over to reveal Lovers, then Despair, and then Death. "Oh." She grabs the cards and rushes out of her room. She knocks on Buffy's door.

"What?" Buffy says as she opens her door.

"I have to show you and Piper something." Paige says and she rushes into Piper's bedroom, with Buffy following behind. Piper is there brushing her hair. "Buffy… Piper. Look, I can't keep this to myself any longer." She holds up the cards so that they both can see them. "This is Phoebe and Cole's tarot reading. They were lovers in the past, despair fills their present, but this is their future."

"Oh, please, this looks nothing like Death. Prue met him, Buffy and I know." Piper says.

Buffy nods, "Yeah he looks nothing like that."

"No, you're missing the point. This is a bad omen." Paige says.

Piper shakes her head, "Well, not necessarily."

"Look, Cole's a nice guy, fine, whatever. But face the facts, he was the world's greatest demon for what, a century?" Paige says.

"Yeah, but we've been through that." Buffy says.

Paige sighs, "Yeah, I know but a century's worth of blood and bad karma, you don't just walk away from that. God, I don't know, maybe I'm just worried."

"Well, have you ever considered that maybe you drew those cards because they represent your feelings and not Phoebe's future?" Piper says.

Paige nods, "It's a possibility."

They hear Phoebe scream.

Up in the attic, Phoebe is wearing her wedding dress which is way to big for her. Buffy, Piper and Paige come running through the attic door looking for a demon and see only Phoebe.

"You! You've ruined my wedding. And the bridal shop is closed tomorrow." Phoebe says.

"Now, uh, Phoebe, let's not blow this out of proportion." Paige says.

"My wedding dress could double as a circus tent. Okay, I think things are already out of proportion." Phoebe says.

"All I did was pick up the dress." Paige says.

"The wrong dress!" Phoebe says.

Paige shakes her head, "No, I checked the tag."

"Oh, really? Let me just look at that. Millie Platt. Do I look like Millie Platt to you? Do I?" Phoebe says as she throws the tag at Paige.

Paige picks it up and looks at it. "That's impossible."

"Okay, you know if you would have picked up the dress when I asked, we'd have time to fix this." Phoebe says.

Paige sighs, "Don't worry, I can sow, I will take in the seams, all of them tonight." A demon smokes in. He waves his arm and Piper flies across the room. Buffy and Phoebe get in a fighting stance as Phoebe's dress slips off. They kick him and he crashes into a cupboard. "Sword!"

A sword orbs off the table and stabs the demon. He turns into dust.

"You'd better do something about this mess." Phoebe says.

"There has got to be something in the Book of Shadows." Paige says.

"Not the demon, my wedding dress." Phoebe says and she gives it to Paige and storms out of the attic.

Buffy sighs, "This is beginning to turn out just like Piper's wedding."

Later Buffy and Piper are looking through both Book of Shadows while Paige sows Phoebe's dress. Leo orbs in with Cole.

"Are you hurt?" Cole asks.

Phoebe shakes her head, "Baby, you're not supposed to be here."

"Leo said it was an urgent call, I was worried." Cole says.

Phoebe smiles, "Thanks. I'm fine." She hugs Cole. "No demon is gonna stop me from marrying you tomorrow. Now my sister's another story."

"I said I was sorry." Paige says.

"What kind of demon attacked you?" Leo asks.

"This one. A Lazerus demon." Piper says.

"A Lazerus demon, you sure?" Cole asks.

Buffy nods, "Rare, high level demons, with telekinetic powers. Yep, that's the bad boy we popped."

"Has it resurrected yet?" Cole asks.

Piper frowns, "Resurrected?"

The Lazerus demon resurrects.

"Behind you!" Paige says as the demon uses his telekinetic powers and throws Piper and Buffy across the room. "Sofa!"

The sofa orbs out and orbs back in to where Piper and Buffy lands.

"No!" Cole says.

The demon uses his power and the chandelier above Phoebe drops on her head.

"Piper blow him up!" Paige says.

The demon smokes out.

Piper looks at Buffy and notices Buffy's bleeding, "Leo."

Leo rushes over to Buffy and heals her he then runs over to Phoebe and heals her.

Phoebe groans as Leo and Cole help her up.

Cole looks at Phoebe, "Are you okay?"

Phoebe nods, "I think so, yeah."

Piper looks to Buffy, "You?"

Buffy nods, "Yeah."

"Ok, he's gonna be back. The book says that Lazerus demons get stronger the longer they are out of cemetery ground." Piper says.

Paige frowns, "Cemetery ground?"

Cole nods, "It's the only way to keep them from resurrecting. You bury them."

"Which means there is no vanquish." Buffy says.

"So that means someone intentionally dug them up, to attack us, the night before my wedding." Phoebe says.

"The question is who, and why?" Leo asks.

"I know why. To stop the wedding. I did two tarot readings, Phoebe, they both said that marrying Cole would only cause death and despair." Paige says.

"What?" Phoebe asks.

Paige nods, "Well, I'm surprised he didn't tell you, he saw the first reading."

Cole sighs, "If I run scared every time things look dark for us, we never would've made it this far."

"That's true. Is there anything else bothering you, Paige, that I should know about?" Pheobe says.

Paige shakes her head, "No, not really."

Buffy nods, "Okay, good. Piper, Paige and I will be on demon watch tonight so that Phoebe can get some sleep."

"Ugh, I'm too wired to sleep." Phoebe says.

"Well, maybe I can help you relax with one of my aromatherapy treatments." Paige says.

"See, now this is the spirit. Everything will be fine as long as we stay together, stay calm." Piper says.

Moments later Buffy, Piper and Phoebe walk into Phoebe's bedroom.

"So we'll take shifts and I will go first, then Buffy and then Paige will wake you up in the morning." Piper says.

Paige walks in holding a jar of cream.

"What is this?" Phoebe asks.

"My face cream, also known as heaven in a jar, it's a special blend." Paige says.

"You made it?" Phoebe asks.

Paige nods, "Mm-hm. It's got patchouli oil for balance and confidence, and chamomile to relax your nervous system. I'm really sorry about your wedding dress. I want everything to go so great for you tomorrow."

Phoebe smiles, "It's okay." She hugs Paige.

Paige turns and leaves.

"She's trying." Buffy says.

"Yeah, I know, I know." Phoebe says as she smells the cream. "Couldn't hurt, right?"

"You still feeling tense?" Piper asks.

"It's not really tense, just, um, extremely alert." Phoebe says.

"Phoebe, Buffy and I know you want the Cinderella fantasy, but neither of us want you to be upset if everything doesn't go exactly as planned tomorrow." Piper says.

"Where is that coming from?" Phoebe asks.

"Well, Buffy reminded me of my wedding day, and I remember I wanted everything to be absolutely perfect." Piper says.

Phoebe nods, "And then Prue crashed through the front door on a Harley."

Buffy smiles, "Yeah, only Prue could make Piper's wedding day all about her."

Piper nods, "But the point is, I barely remember the ceremony, it's a total blur. And in the end all that matters is that you marry the guy that you love, and if you manage to do that your wedding was perfect."

"You know talking about Piper's wedding. It's a shame mom and Aunt Patty can't come this time." Buffy says.

Phoebe nods, "I know. But I'm having it in a public venue unlike Piper's which was here in the Manor. People might question how they can be there when their dead. But I'm sure they will be watching."

The next morning Buffy wakes to hear Phoebe yelling at Paige. She looks at her clock and frowns. She gets up and exits her bedroom as Piper comes out of hers.

"What happened? What time is it?" Piper asks.

"If my clock is right we have an hour till the wedding." Buffy says.

Piper's eyes go wide, "What?"

Phoebe screams and comes out of the bathroom. She has little red pimples all over her face. "Look at me."

"Whoa." Piper says.

"What do you have to say for yourself?" Phoebe says.

Paige smiles, "I fixed your wedding dress."

"Paige! This is all your fault." Phoebe says and she storms into her room. "You put a mojo on my face cream."

"I did not, those are all natural ingredients." Paige says as she, Piper and Buffy follow Phoebe.

Phoebe starts to cry. "If you have something to say to me, why didn't you just say it, Paige?"

"Okay, we all just need to take a deep breath." Buffy says. "Piper why don't you get ready first. Try and keep bathroom time under 10 minutes. Do your makeup in your room."

"Say what?" Paige asks.

Piper nods and heads for the bathroom.

"Don't think that I don't know how you really feel about Cole." Phoebe says.

Paige sighs, "Oh! I have been nothing but supportive of that demon."

"Ex-demon." Phoebe says.

"Oh, is that like ex-convict?" Paige asks.

"Alright, that is not necessary. We all just need to calm down." Buffy says.

"Face it, Phoebe. This wedding has been filled with nothing but bad omens from the start." Paige says.

"And they all seem to be connected with you now, don't they?" Phoebe says.

"Alright, that's it! Break it up. You go back to your corner and you, you're gonna get ready and we're gonna put lots and lots of makeup on you." Buffy says.

"Oh, face it. There's not enough spackle in the world to fill those craters. Step back." Paige says.

"Oh, now what are you doing?" Phoebe asks.

"Trying to prove to you that I'm not trying to sabotage your wedding." Paige says.

Buffy shakes her head, "I don't think..."

"Let the object of objection become but a dream, as I cause the seen to be unseen." Paige says.

"Magic. She just put magic on me." Phoebe says.

The spots disappear.

Buffy nods, "And it's working."

"It is?" Phoebe asks as she turns invisible. "My zits are gone?"

Buffy sighs, "Yeah, I can, I can honestly say that your face is completely clear."

"Woo hoo!" Phoebe says.

Later Piper, Paige and an invisible Phoebe are in the attic. Piper's looking through the Book of Shadows, she's now dressed. Buffy is downstairs in the bathroom getting ready.

"It's my wedding day. The one day of my life that is all about me and nobody can see me." Phoebe says.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it." Paige says.

Phoebe walks across the room holding a piece of paper as Paige follows her. "Stop following me, go away!"

"Hang on, Phoebe, don't lose it now." Piper says.

Paige holds up Phoebe's wedding dress. "Here, you can't walk around naked and I think it'll fit now."

"Ahh, Paige!" Phoebe says as she snatches the dress of Paige. "What difference does it make? I am invisible. My wedding is supposed to start in less than one hour and everyone I've ever known will be there, and I'm never gonna be able to face them again. Ugh!" She pushes some books off a table.

"Alright! This is all just a back fire to the vanishing spell. There's gotta be a reversal in here." Piper says.

Victor opens the door. "Hey, what's going on up here? Why is Piper the only one dressed. Where's Phoebe?"

"She is still putting on her face." Piper says.

"Wh-? I can't keep stalling this photographer forever. He's done portraits in every room in the house." Victor says.

"Send him out to the church." Phoebe says.

"Phoebe?" Victor asks.

"That was me. I'm working on my impressions." Piper says as she covers her mouth.

"Dad, go downstairs and wait for us there." Phoebe says.

"See? I'm working it into the toast." Piper says.

Victor leaves as Buffy walks in.

"Ugh, what's the use. I might as well call Cole and tell him it's off." Phoebe says.

"Oh, honey, we-we-we'll..." Piper says.

"I take it still no luck?" Buffy asks.

"Something you said is bothering me. Why would there be a backfire to the vanishing spell?" Paige says.

"Personal gain, I guess." Piper says.

Paige nods, "Yeah, but there wasn't any of that when I used it to help others, why Phoebe?"

"What, are you suggesting that there is outside magic at play here?" Buffy asks.

Paige nods, "Yeah. The same magic that dug up the Lazerus demon and then there's the acne and then the super-sized wedding dress."

"She's rambling. Should I yell at her again?" Phoebe says.

Piper shakes her head, "No! She might be onto something."

"Listen, we're not fighting each other here, we're fighting evil. We kick evil's ass every day." Paige says.

"Sometimes twice a day." Buffy says.

Paige nods, "Okay, today's a day just like any other day. Evil wants this wedding cancel? Screw that. We're not gonna go down without a fight. Okay, so what I need to do is get dressed, we head for the church while we look for a way to fix Phoebe. Are you with me?"

"Yes." Piper says.

"Yes! Phoebe?" Buffy says.

"Grab the book. Let's go." Phoebe says.

"Get the dress." Buffy says. "Phoebe, I'll flame you straight there. Be less questions that way on why you're not in the limo."

"Ok." Phoebe says.

Later at the church. Piper, Phoebe, Paige and Buffy are in the dressing room. And an unfortunate Phoebe is still invisible.

"Okay, this one's gotta work. It's the spell that reversed my enhanced breasts. Here." Paige says as she hands Piper a piece of paper.

"Guiding spirits hear our plea, annul this magic let it be." Piper says as she burns the paper with a candle.

"Can you see me?" Phoebe asks.

Buffy shakes her head, "Not even your breasts."

"Ugh." Phoebe says.

"That's it. That's the last reversal spell we have." Paige says.

Phoebe sighs, "It's okay you guys. You did your best."

Someone knocks on the door. Piper opens it. Cole's there.

"Come on, let's go. We'll leave you two alone to talk." Piper says as she, Paige and Buffy head out into the hall closing the door behind them.

Outside in the hall Paige stops them, "I have an idea. How about instead of reversing the magic we simply transfer it."

Piper nods, "That might work, Paige."

Buffy nods, "So who's going to be the recipient of the spell?"

"I think I should since I got Phoebe into this mess." Paige says.

Buffy shakes her head, "Are you sure you want to do that, Paige?"

Paige nods, "Yes. Besides you two have known Phoebe longer. You two should have the honor of being Phoebe's bridesmaids."

Buffy looks to Piper who nods. "Ok." They turn and walk back into the dressing room.

"The wedding's off." Cole says.

Paige shakes her head, "Not necessarily."

"Get everybody in their positions, we'll start with the processional, tell the quartet." Piper says as she takes Cole to the door.

"Whoa, what about Phoebe? She's invisible." Cole says.

"Not for long, we hope. So go on, and look for your bride walking down the aisle. Go on." Buffy says.

Cole leaves as Piper closes the door.

"Wait, hold on here, I'm a little confused. I thought we were out of spells." Phoebe says.

Paige shakes her head, "Mm-mm, not yet. You know how every attempt we've made to reverse your invisibility has failed?"

Phoebe nods, "Yes."

"Well, what if we don't reverse it, we just shift it from one sister to another." Paige says.

"Wait, you mean transfer the invisibility to you? No way, I won't let you." Phoebe says.

"Phoebe, every Cinderella needs a fairy godmother. Let me be yours." Paige says.

Phoebe sighs. "Paige..."

Paige smiles, "Please, I need to do this so you know that I'm not trying to stop your wedding."

Moments later Buffy and Piper walk down the aisle arm in arm and assume their places. The quartet plays the wedding march. Victor and Phoebe walk down the aisle.

"Where's Paige?" Darryl asks.

Leo shakes his head, "I don't know."

Invisible Paige pulls up a chair nearby and sits down. She sniffs. "I'm gonna cry."

"Thank you all for coming to honor the love between Cole Turner and Phoebe Halliwell." Priest says.

The Lazerus demon smokes in nearby.

"Oh, no." Paige says as she spots the demon.

"Before we get started, I must ask, is there anyone who has just cause why this couple should not be united..." Priest says.

Paige picks up a candle stick and hits the Lazerus demon on the head.

"Ugh!" Lazerus Demon says.

Paige pushes him out the door and the door slams shut. Everyone turns to look.

"This is your time, your platform..." Priest says.

The Lazerus demon uses his telekinetic power and Paige flies across the room. Everyone in the church hears.

"I'll check that out. Keep going." Piper says and she runs out of the church.

"Since nobody here can show just cause, it's my privilege to ask..." Priest says.

"You put her down!" Piper says from outside.

"Ahh!" Paige says from outside.

The hear a crash. Everyone turns to look.

"Excuse me." Buffy and Leo says as they turn and run out of the church.

"Keep going, please, just keep going." Phoebe says.

"As I was saying, it's my privilege to ask, who gives this woman to this man today." Priest asks.

Victor stands up, "Her sisters, her cousin, and I do."

"Son of a bitch!" Buffy says from outside.

"Ahh!" Paige says from outside.

"Piper, look out!" Leo says from outside.

They hear another crash. Phoebe drops her bouquet and runs outside. Cole follows.

In the other room Buffy and Piper are lying on the floor as Phoebe and Cole race in. The Lazerus demon uses his telekinetic powers on Leo and he flies across the room, knocking over Phoebe. The Lazerus demon picks up a chair. Phoebe runs towards the demon and he is about to throw it at her.

"Stop!" Cole says.

Buffy throws a fireball and the demon dusts.

"Where's Paige?" Phoebe asks.

"I don't know." Piper says.

"Neither do I." Buffy says.

"Leo, where's Paige?" Phoebe asks.

Leo shakes his head, "I can't get a read on her. Wherever she is her heart's not beating."

Cole sees Paige's blood spill onto the floor. "Over here."

Leo runs over and starts to heal her. Darryl and the Priest rushes in.

"What the hell is going on in here?" Priest asks.

"That's it." Phoebe says as she pulls off her veil. "The wedding is off! Tell everyone to get outta here. Go-go-go-go!" She pushes Darryl and the Priest out of the door.

Later after all the guests have left. Buffy, Piper, Phoebe, Paige, Cole and Leo are still there. Piper is on the phone. " Just send the food to the house. Yes, and the bill goes to Payson's P4. Not as sorry as I am. Thank you." She hangs up. "Caterer's taken care of."

"Thank you so much, Piper, I just, I can't deal with any of that right now." Phoebe says.

"It's okay, it's been a tough day." Buffy says. "How about you? How are you doing?"

"Uh, still a little shaky." Paige says.

Leo nods, "We nearly lost you. Lucky the demon hesitated when Cole yelled."

"Yeah, but why did he?" Phoebe asks.

Cole shrugs, "Maybe he was surprised somebody yelled at him."

"We should all just be thankful that we're alive." Leo says.

"And visible. Although I'm not sure how that happened." Paige says.

"I do. The magic you were under was supposed to stop the wedding, it wore off once the wedding was cancelled." Cole says.

"Oh, you mean when evil won? I am not stopping until I find out who sent that thing after us." Phoebe says.

"Speaking of the demon, the crispy critter needs to find its way back to a cemetery." Piper says.

"There's a cemetery not too far from here." Buffy says. "I can take it there."

"And what happens when my freeze wears off on the way?" Piper asks.

Phoebe nods, "I'll go with her. I wanna make sure it's in the ground for good."

"Let's all do it." Paige says.

Buffy nods, "Okay."

Later at the cemetery Cole is standing in front of a grave. The girls and Leo are catching up to him.

"I found a spot. This headstone's from the early 1900s. Nobody will come digging here anytime soon." Cole says.

"Piper, if you see anyone coming, freeze them." Leo says.

Cole starts digging.

"Don't worry, honey. It took Leo and me three times to get married. It'll happen for you and Cole. We just need to figure out what kind of evil stopped your wedding and why." Piper says.

"I have an idea. Why don't we just ask it?" Paige says.

Cole shakes his head, "Oh, don't be crazy. That Lazerus demon is a time bomb waiting to explode."

"I want to know who ruined the happiest day of my life." Phoebe says.

"So do I." Buffy says.

Paige tips the ash out of a box onto the ground.

"Phoebe, I'm asking you, please, for me. Don't do this." Cole says.

"Cole, I can't believe you don't wanna know." Phoebe says.

The Lazerus demon resurrects.

"One flinch and I blow you into briquette. Either that or she'll," Piper says as she points at Buffy, "will burn you alive."

"Who resurrected you?" Buffy asks.

Lazerus Demon points to Cole. "Ask him. You swore I'd never see a cemetery again if I helped you. You set me up."

"Cole, what is this demon talking about?" Piper asks.

"I have no idea." Cole says.

"Liar! You ordered me to attack them in the church. Is this how you reward your loyal servants?" Lazerus Demon says.

"Okay, Cole, what is going on, because I gotta tell you right now I am freaking out!" Phoebe says.

"Oh, what's the point you already figured it out." Cole says as he throws a fireball at the Lazerus demon and he turns into dirt.

"Oh, no. No, it can't be. No, it can't be. No." Phoebe says as she looks away.

Cole turns into the Seer.

"It's not. It's the Seer." Paige says.

"Not for long." Buffy and Piper says as Buffy powers up a fireball.

"No, don't." Phoebe says as she goes over to the Seer. "Where's Cole?"

"Unconscious in the mausoleum." Seer says.

"Why would you save us one day and try to kill us the next?" Paige asks.

"For the same reason. To keep the balance of power between good and evil." Seer says.

"Don't be cryptic. I hate cryptic." Piper says.

"I don't like it either." Buffy says.

Seer nods, "I had a vision. If you married Cole on this day, his love would've helped you evolve into a much stronger witch, too strong. I had to stop you and I did." She flames out.

"Bitch." Piper and Buffy says.

"Cole." Phoebe says.

"Go. I'll bury the rest of the demon." Leo says.

Buffy, Piper, Phoebe and Paige walk to the Mausoleum and enter it looking around for Cole.

"Cole?" Phoebe asks as they spot him and go over to him.

"Where's the Seer? She's in the cemetery." Cole says.

"Yeah, we know, we had a little chat." Piper says.

"I'm surprised she didn't kill you." Paige says.

Cole shakes his head, "It's not her style." He groans. "Killing's beneath her. She only does it if she has to."

"Come on, let's get you home." Phoebe says.

Leo walks in. "You okay?"

Moments later they are walking through the mausoleum heading towards the exit.

"I still don't understand. If the Seer wanted to stop Phoebe from marrying you, wouldn't she want to kill you?" Paige says.

"I don't know, you'd have to ask the Seer." Cole says.

They walk past a small chapel in the mausoleum.

"Look, a chapel." Leo says.

"A chapel in a mausoleum?" Paige asks.

"In this town Paige, that's normal. It's generally for ease of use for funerals. " Buffy says.

Piper smiles, "It's cute."

"And perfect." Cole says.

"For what?" Phoebe asks.

"A wedding." Cole says.

Piper and Buffy look at each other and then nod in agreement.

"I couldn't agree more." Buffy says.

"Neither could I." Piper says.

"Really?" Phoebe asks.

"You've got the rings." Paige says.

Leo nods, "And we're all here."

"Okay, I do. I-I mean, I will. Let's go." Phoebe says.

They walk inside. The Priest removes his hood. Cole hands Phoebe a rose and she ties it to his shirt. She pricks her finger on one of the thorns and it bleeds. Cole puts her bleeding finger in his mouth. They go through the ceremony and they place the rings on each other's fingers.

"Not two but one, then life be gone. You may kiss the bride." Priest says.

Cole and Phoebe kiss.

"We did it." Phoebe says.

Cole smiles, "Yes, we did."

They kiss again.
