A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry for not updating. We’ve had school…Anyway hope you like the update! It might be a little confusing at first but I hope it gets clear. R&R!!!
Another Reality
“The rain speaks to me,” said the blond vampire sitting in the filthy street, “It says I’m a mummy again.” She smiled at the words and clapped her hands. A malevolent giggle came out. “Where are you daughter?”
She looked around; the blood was all over her and in the street. It appeared like she and her daughter got there just in time for rush hour. Carcasses lay all over the place and the rain mixed with the blood, sending it into the sewers. No one dared come out and for that she smiled. People were afraid of her again, well actually more afraid of the other vampire that was with her but there was a lot of fear involved.
She heard a clatter coming from the alley and turned to see another blond vampire walking up to her. She smiled in acknowledgement. Blood dripped from her smirk, and she said, “He tried to fight. It was hopeless though.” She laughed, and the expression on the other vampire’s face changed.
“Do you know what the darkness is telling me?” The first vampire asked.
“Let me guess… good news?” The other vampire said, raising an eyebrow.
“No. It says that they’re coming. Coming to make it better.”
The other vampire knew that she was crazy, but also knew better than to ignore her warnings. “Who’s coming?”
The first blond vamp ignored her and said, “Look at the mess we’ve made. We’d better go before they come.”
“The white hats? Nah, I don’t think they’ll bother coming.” She looked around at the blood and gore on the street. “There’s no one left to save.”
“Daddy would have liked this. But he is with them, a white hat.” Her voiced quivered. “And he killed Spike, bad, bad Angel.”
“Yeah, its too Bad Spike wasn’t here to share in on the fun.” The other one said not letting her ‘partner in crime’ know what really happened. “Come on Dru, I think I hear church bells.”

The charred building of the Hyperion had seen a lot; demon fights, fist fights, fires and loss. It had seen a lot of loss. About two years ago two groups reunited. And the Hyperion saw it. As far as Reunions go this was not a happy one; it was quite depressing. Full of tears and even some fighting. Now the Hyperion was empty. For now… the troops would be back soon. They went out every night in search for something they wouldn’t find. If walls could talk the Hyperion would probably share their tears. It had seen so many of them. So now the Hyperion would just going on seeing. It would stand by until another fire came or when the people in it got what they were looking for. It would probably be the first one. There was no way this could be a nightmare that they all bizarrely shared.
Giles entered the Hyperion first. He yawned and took off the worn leather bomber jacket he had found in the wreckage of a department store. Behind him Fred and Willow deep in discussion walked to the couch and sat down examining the bits of demon that were on there clothes. Then Xander came in, putting down the broad-sword he was carrying. He took an ancient sword from Gunn as he entered and then went up to his room.
“I thought he usually made jokes or something.” Gunn said to Giles who shrugged.
“We all changed after what happened, but I guess he was the one who changed the most.”
“Where’d he learn to fight like that?” Gunn said.
“I think Angel and him have been training with Wesley.”
“Oh. Ummm…has anyone seen Angel?” Gunn asked when everyone else arrived.
“He mumbled something about going out and then left, I think he thought he had a lead.” Cordelia said.
“Oh okay but I don‘t think he‘ll find anything. Didn‘t the fang sisters leave down a couple nights ago?” Gunn went over and sat next to Fred who smiled slightly and then kissed him. They stopped when they heard sirens. Giles walked over to the t.v. and turned it on.
“The whole street down was bloody and people were screaming. Then the screaming stopped and I saw two blonde haired woman; they were smiling and bloody.” Giles turned off the TV after the guy stopped talking.
“Dru and Buffy are back.” Angel announced coming down the steps into the Hyperion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Dru and Buffy are back.” Angel told them all and Willow closed her eyes.
“Oh God.” She heard Cordelia whisper.
Two years of this nightmare and she was still trying to wake up from it. She wished that they would just go away. It was hard to be in the same city with them more or less see them or fight them. It wasn’t Drusilla she was afraid of but Buffy she was. Her dead best friend was one of the worst vampires, she made Angelus and Spike look nice. Spike. That was one monster she hoped she never had a thought of again. She took a deep breath and then stood up and went upstairs. No one tried to stop her, which was good. She was in another one of those moods. Dawn when she had been with them used to call it the grievy-mood. Now Dawn was with her father…hopefully. So much had changed in the last two years. It was a wonder that everyone was still sane.
When she got up to her room she lit three candles and sat on her bed. She tried to meditate but it didn’t work. She couldn’t get calm these days, it took everything she had just not to stake Angel and Xander when they fought.
Once again she took a deep breath but this time she started to cry after it. Her eyes flashed a shade of black that made her only cry harder. She collapsed on the bed. “Make it better….please come and Make it better.” She cried over and over.

Back to the regular Reality
“They were here and you didn’t tell us?” Xander said to Andrew.
“Or me?!” Buffy told him who started to back into the wall.
“I didn’t mention it…because I’m really sure…” He trailed off at the look Buffy gave him.
“Well I guess I forgot to mention it but look at the lovely surprise.” Andrew said indicating the two vampires at the door.
Buffy took a deep breath and motioned into the apartment. “Come in.” she said to Angel and Spike.
They both stepped in at the same time and Buffy raised her eyebrows. “Where are you coming from?”
“The big fight in L.A…..apocalypse.” Spike told her.
“What?” she said her eyes widening.
“L.A…fight…evil lawyers.” Spike said trying to sum it up.
“Yeah I get that but, why didn’t you call me?!” Buffy said she turned to Angel. “I could’ve helped, you
know.”
“I didn’t want to bother you.” Angel said looking down at the floor.
“For a paper cut you don’t bother me, for an apocalypse you do!” She exclaimed them went to sit down.
Everyone stared into space for a while when Willow took a deep breath. “Well this is overwhelming.”
“I know…who would’ve thought that Angel and Spike would’ve shown up.” Xander said.
“No I mean I’m picking up some kind of psychic signal in my head.” Willow said.
Everyone looked up. “What?” Buffy asked.
“I don’t know-.” Willow began and then her eyes flashed black and she screamed. “Make it better.” she said.
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a flash of light.
Then it was as if they were being sucked through some sort of portal.
Buffy’s eyes were closed tightly. When she landed on the ground with a thud she opened them. She rubbed her eyes and saw the others all around her. She took a step forward and almost fell over something, she looked down to see a snoring Andrew. She shook head and walked toward where Giles, Willow, Angel, Spike, Xander, and Dawn were huddling. She looked up and down the street. They were in L.A. Well…it looked like L.A. if you looked past the blood and gore on the streets.
“Hey Deadboy didn’t you say you and Spike just came from apocalyptic L.A.?” Xander asked.
“Yeah, but it wasn’t like this…we fought in an alleyway.”
“Oh.”
A large crash came from one of the buildings and Buffy turned to see that a sign that said something about L.A. on it fell down. How Ironic…
“Ok Toto I guess we are definitely not in Kansas anymore.” Xander remarked.
