"A what!?" Xander exclaimed.
"No you're not Sabrina! You're not a b-" Willow proclaimed, then seeing looks from her friends, realized her mistake. "Oops. I thought you said something else. . . " she started blushing.
"That's it? Why didn't you just tell us?" Buffy asked, easing up.
"I thought you'd have thought I was. . . weird. . . " Sabrina replied uneasily.
"Believe me. We've seen weird. Being a witch isn't as bad compaired to what we've seen. " Oz reasurred her.
"Yeah. You havn't seen weird till you see a watcher playing with black magic, putting on a powerful glove, sending almost everyone through a wall then being killed by a flash of lightning. " Faith said. Everyone looked at the Slayer, puzzled. "What??? That's the weirdest thing I've seen. . . "
"Weirder than wrestling alligators?" Xander quipped. Faith rolled her eyes.
"Huh? What's a 'watcher'?" Sabrina asked confusingly.
"Well. . . you see Sabrina, the earth is older than it seems. It did not begin as a paridise, as many think. " Giles said. "Once-" he was cut off by the faked snoring coming from the two slayers and the boy. "Very funny. "
"Come on Giles, you have no sense of humor!" Faith told him, waking from her mock-sleep.
"May I continue?"
"I don't think Sab wants to be bored to death. Let the slayer take over. " Xander urged.
"Alright. I have a passage to decifer, anyway. " Giles gave in, sipping a cup of tea he'd made before they'd come in.
"You go do that Giles. " Buffy told him. "Basicly, before there were all these demons, vampires, etc, etc. Slayers were made to kill them, and they did, but not all. The ones who survived went on to create more, yadda yadda yadda. The slayer is one girl in every generation who's called to kill the ever-growing population of vamps and such, and originally, for this generation, I was the slayer, but I died and was brought back by Xander. Then this other slayer was called, but she was killed, and Faith was called. " She explained in a rush.
"So. . . there are vampires on earth, and the slayers kill them. Cool! But I always thought vampires were like. . . Dracula and stuff. "
"Nope. Those are just made up ones. " Willow replied, taking more of an interest in her new friend.
"Oh. Okay, because once for Halloween, I had. . . Dracula and the Mummy. . . and Frankinstine over at my house. Now I know those fangs were fake. " Sabrina said. Everyone just exchanged glances, then fell silent. The only noises were Angel softly groaning and Buffy getting up and rewetting the cloth on the sleeping vampire's head.
"So now you know about us, how 'bout you tell what made you decide to move to the Hellmouth, Sab?" Faith asked, taking a sip of the water-bottle she had sitting on the table.
"Well. . . It started on my boyfriend and I's anniversery. . . "

Slicery-Westbride Massachussettes Early November 1998
"That was some good pizza!" Harvey exclaimed as he and Sabrina walked out of the local pizza parlor, the Slicery.
"Yeah. It was so sweet of them to make it into a heart for us!" the witch replied, waving at a brunette through the stain glass door before joining her boyfriend at the curb of the sidewalk.
The two began walking into street as a car came around the nearest corner. It was too close for them to turn back, it was going too fast for them to dodge. Harvey pushed Sabrina out of the way as the car sped up. Sabrina yelled his name, watching as Harvey braced for the impact. She quickly conjured up a spell that quit the car's engine, and before the boy knew what was happening, the black Taurus came to a hault. A foot from him.
"Are you okay???" Sabrina asked worriedly, rushing out to him.
"Yeah, I think. Talk about the nick of time. . . " He trailed off as the two heard laughing, almost evil, from the alley-way behind the Slicery. Out of the shadows stepped a tall brunette wearing a brown leather coat, black mini-skirt and knee-high boots. Libby Cheasler, the most popular girl at Westbridge High.
"I always knew you were weird. From the beginning. And when I heard you talking in the hall that one day, that confirmed my theroy. But. . . No one believed me. . . " Libby held up a video cassette with her gloved hand. "Now I have proof. "
"I don't think so. " Sabrina proclaimed. She flicked her wrist, and the video cassette crashed to the ground in a heap of plastic. Libby started giggling again.
"Oops. I'm afraid that was the wrong one. Come tomorrow, everyone at the high school'll know you're a freak, Freak. See ya 'round. . . " With that, Libby disappeared back into the alley, leaving Harvey, Sabrina and the car in the middle of the road.
"What was that about?" Harvey asked. Sabrina just stared after the Cheasler girl, before turning.
"I-I don't know. Come on. Let's get out of the middle of the road. . . " The two turned, got off the road and started for home.
Spellman Residance Next Day
"Hey. I'm home!" Sabrina called into the large victorian home as she walked through the front door.
"Hey. " called a male's voice.
"'Noon Salem. Where are my aunts?" the witch asked, throwing a paper bag onto the living room table.
"What's in the bag?"
"Biology left-overs. Thought you'd like 'em. "
"Ooh, cod!" then the cat commensed noisily munching on the cod guts.
"Sabrina!" called a woman's voice from the parlor.
"Oh hi Aunt Zelda! What?"
"Come into the kitchen. We need to have a talk. . . "
"Uh-oh. . . Busted. . . " Salem quipped, his face covered in fish intestines. Zelda shot him a look and escorted a her niece into the kitchen where her sister, Hilda, was watching a small TV set.
"What? Is Salem not supposed to have Cod before dinner?" Sabrina asked annoyedly.
"No. What is this about?" Zelda grabbed the remote from the counter top and switched the channel from Rosie O'Donnel to an old hag with green skin and warts all over her face.
"-And in other Other Realm news" the old lady cackled, "Half Mortal Sabrina Spellman discharged her magic in plain view of the public last night. Here is an exclusive video tape of her actions. " the hag disappeared and a scene of Sabrina stopping the car engine appeared on screen.
"Sabrina, you know you're not supposed to let mortals see your magic!" Hilda scolded, looking blankly at the screen.
"Well. . . Harvey would have gotten hit! What was I supposed to do?! Let the car ram into him?!" Sabrina demanded.
"No. We're just saying that you should try to-" Zelda was cut off by a crack of thunder, then Hill Billy-like gawfing coming from upstairs. "See what I mean?! Now Darlene and Boyd are here to rub it in!"
"Come on, before they steal any towels. "Hilda said, standing up. With that, the two sisters disappeared up the stairs to greet their cousins. Sabrina sighed, turned off the TV and slumped into a chair at the table.

"-So, the next day we conjured up a spell to erase all the mortal's memories of us, we packed it all up and left. My aunts wanted to find another small town close to the ocean, and the Other Realm said Sunnydale was a pretty good place to live. " Sabrina finished. A heavy silence engulfed the library once again.
"That's so sad!" Willow finally said, breaking the silence. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Well, hate to break it to ya, but Sunnydale's not all that great of place to live in. . . " Xander quipped. More silence.
"Most. . . curious. . . " Giles began, stepping from the office, making them jump. "This. . . Other Realm is home to most witches, yes?"
"Yeah. Pretty much. "
"I wonder if Amy knows about it. " Willow chimmed in.
"Who?" Faith and Sabrina asked in unsion.
"Amy's the. . . other resident witch here. " Buffy replied.
"Yeah. She cursed the cheer-leaders. . . Helped me preform a love spell-"
"That back-fired. " Buffy reminded him.
"It back-fired all right. Next thing you know, every girl in Sunnydale's after me!"
"That was when. . . I threw you from the window and Drusilla saved you, right?" Angel asked groggly.
"Maybe I'll send her a nice cross for that. " Xander concluded.
"Well. . . It is getting late. Rather late for a school night. Maybe you should all. . . turn in. " Giles suggested, glancing at the time: 1:30.
"We've had enough excitement for one night. I'll take Angel home, Faith, you take the others. Kay?"Buffy commanded, helping the vampire up and into his jacket.
"Okay. Come on. We'll drop Sab off, then you two. " the other slayer told the slayerettes.
"Bye, guys. " the three called simutaniously as they rushed after Faith. Buffy and Angel followed shortly after, and Giles headed back to the office, where he opened the Codex and took a look at it.
"Oh no. " he muttered quietly, cursing.
