six; the story of us

"I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us, how we met and the sparks flew instantly, People would say, "they're the lucky ones," "I don't know what to say since the twist of fate when it all broke down, and the story of us
looks a lot like a tragedy now." - Taylor Swift, "The Story Of Us"

Paige's POV

So I sat him down.

And I told him everything. My life story, How I got here, how this universe is different, my plans, and how I desperately needed his help.

He watched intently, eyes widened and a complex frown on his face, hanging on my every word.

"So...," he started after I was finished, "You're telling me, you're...from an alternate universe?"

"Yes."

"And...You need my help to get back?"

I rolled my eyes.

"Maybe you're not so smart after all."

"You technically already knew me, then?"

"Technically, I've known you my whole thirteen years of life."

"Well..."

I know I was giving the man a hard time, but C'MON, he's GILES for goodness sakes. He was smarter than that! Also, I'm Buffy's daughter. Sarcasm comes with the package.

"Maybe it would help if you recounted the events that lead up to the wish."

I let out a frustrated sigh. "Giles, man, I already told you everything that happened. I pretty much just gave you my autobiography!"

"Really?," Giles said in a stern voice, "What about what happened the day before you made the wish?"

I froze and I felt my cheeks heat up a little. Now there was the Giles I knew.

"Uh - everything except that."

I opened my mouth to speak, but Giles put his finger up to stop me. "And you don't need to tell me everything. I'm librarian not the school psychiatrist. Just tell me about any significant things that happened, that might help us."

"Do you recall anything odd happening?"

"Hmm...Well, Lily and Esme and I got into a flour fight which we also got Willow and Tara involved in and..."

Giles cleared his throat impatiently.

"Right, back to the point."

*Flashback*

We were in our living room, and Anya was going on some rant about her demon days, and I was half listening, as per-usual."

"There was that time that Dawn made a wish that got us all trapped in Buffy's house for almost 48 hours and nearly got us killed..."

My aunt gave Anya a dirty look.

"How did the wish get made?" Esme asked.

"Well, She - Dawn - Had seen a guidance counselor a day earlier - which was actually my friend and fellow vengeances demon, Halfrek...,"

She got a sad, faraway look in her eyes, But She snapped out of it almost immediately.

"Anyway, Halfrek made wishes for children with crappy lives,"

Lily and I exchanged looks. Only Anya.

"She was standing outside Buffy's house when Dawn made the wish, and she granted it without anyone knowing."

"Chaos then ensued."

"How was the wish undone?" Lily asked.

"We figured who granted and summoned her, and made her "uh-wish the wish.", pretty much."

*Flashback Over*

"That's it!" Giles and I exclaimed at the exact same time as I jumped up from my seat.

I grabbed Giles's arm.

"Let's go!"
