"Are you watching them?" She asked.

He nodded. "I don't believe they are ready."

"The girl has already resisted our best efforts. We forbade her soul to remember, and yet every memory is etched into her brain. It was inevitable."

"So kill her," He shrugged.

The Female threw a vase at Him. It shattered on His head and He grimaced.

"Will that teach you not to think so foolishly of Love?" She asked. "There are some things even WE cannot change when Love is involved."

"Nonsense!" He turned away from Their viewer and glared at Her. "We are The Oracles! We--"

"Are playing with fire," She cut him off. "We are messing with the King and Queen of our great battles. Perhaps a reunion between the two would be most rewarding."

"You are becoming too human," He remarked.

"And you too stupid," she lifted a rose out of bouquet and let the flower petals float across Her skin. "They will be fun to watch."

"What makes you so sure that they will succeed?" He asked. "She is only the Slayer, she's not a Wizard or even a Witch--"

"She is the one who will save him," She corrected. "She is the one who loves him, she will change the future."

"And what of Our plans?" He asked. "What of the destiny we laid out for them?"

"Their destiny is their own now," She stared at them again, wondering how they would handle the news.

"What about the plans?" He asked. "What about--"

"We are only The Oracles," She told him. "We are not the ones who must live out this life."

"And the future?"

The Female smiled. "Let their daughter worry about it."
