Rome 2004

"Well that was just weird." Dawn said as she shut off the answering machine.
"What was just weird?" Buffy said as she walked out of the bathroom.
"Well there was a phone call and I couldnt get to the phone fast enough so when I got here the answering machine had picked up and the person hung up." Dawn said as she got up and turned on the tv.
"Yeah that is a little weird considering only our close friends have our number now that Andrew moved out." Buffy said as she walked into her room. She walked over to her closet and walked inside. She let her towel drop to the floor as she looked for something to wear. She pulled out black leather pants and a black halter top. Then she grabbed her knee high boots and her black leather coat. As she got dressed she started thinking about him again. She always wore leather on patrols now. It made her feel safer in a way. She still missed him. She hoped that in 6 months she could just get over it. But the only thing she had managed to get over was the fact that he didnt believe that she really did love him. 'If I ever see him again I swear I'm going to hit him for that.' Buffy thought to herself.
-Knock Knock-
"Yea." Buffy said to the door.
"Buffy, Willow's here...she said that you need to come with her to Giles's place." Dawn said.
"Yea ok I'll be right out."


Wolfram & Hart 2004

"So luv what is that you need?" Spike said as he walked into Fred's Lab.
"Well I need a sample of your blood." Fred said as she poked the needle in his arm.
"Yow..what the arm luv...that kind of hurt. And what might I ask do you need this for?"
"Well I just need to make sure that this non ghost version of you is permanent."
"Well luv, if you find out that it isnt can you see if there is a way to make it permanent?"
Fred looked at Spike and smiled. Then she put her head down and frowned.
"You didnt call her did you?"
Spike looked at Fred just as she lifted her head up.
"No...well i did call her and I got the answering machine...but that was about as far as it went."
"Spike...You need to call her. You love her dont you?"
Spike looked at Fred. "More than I can ever put into words luv."
Fred walked over to Spike and hugged him.
"Then call her Spike. Even if it's for a second do it."
"Ok...I'll go do it right now...unless you need me for something else?"
Fred shook her head. "No I'm done with you."
Spike leaned over and kissed her cheek. "Thank you luv."

Rome 2004

"Ok Giles what's the big emergency?" Buffy asked as her and Willow walked into Giles Office.
"There was a report recently of a girl fighting off vampires in L.A."
"Yea, so isnt that Andrew's business not mine?"
Giles looked down. He knew Andrew's secret, and he also knew that this was Andrew's way of getting Buffy back to who she really is. That didnt mean that he appoved of the plan and who was in it...but it was worth a try.
"Andrew cant...I have him doing a few other things for me."
Buffy looked down. 'What on earth would giles let Andrew do?' Buffy thought to herself.
"What's going on though Giles?" Willow asked.
"Well there was a girl spotted at a local club in L.A. that was fighting off vampires. We're not sure if she's a slayer in hiding or what. But it is worth checking out."
"Ok Giles...I'll go check this out. But what do you want me to do if she is a slayer?"
"I want you to ask her to come back with you. The council can help her with her powers and what she's going through."
"Ok sure."
Willow walked over to Giles's desk. "So is that it?"
"Well yes."
-Ring-
"Hold on a second," Giles said as he answered the phone, "Rupert Giles...Oh yes Hello...yes I have the book right here...Well I'm sending Buffy your way in 2 weeks...I could send it with her...Ok yes...Yes i know all about it...Ok well you have a nice morning...goodbye." Giles said as he hung up.
"So who was that and what am i taking now?" Buffy asked as she sat in a chair in front of his desk.
"That was Wesley. There is a prophecy that has been around for quite some time that him and Angel are looking into."
Willow looked up. "What kind of prophecy?"
Giles looked at her. "It says that the vampire with the soul will play a pivitol role in the apocolypse...and he will be granted human life."
Buffy looked up. "What?"
Giles looked at Buffy. "The souled vampire will become human after the apocolypse."
Buffy stood up. "Giles...was the thing with the first...was that considered an Apocolypse?"
Giles looked at Buffy. "Why yes I guess it was...But Buffy if Spike was alive dont you think he would have found you by now?"
Buffy looked at Giles and then looked down. "Yea you're right...Ok so when do I leave?"
"In two weeks...there are somethings I need you to do for me first."
"Like what?"
"You're going to Vermont to help Kennedy with a few things...that's why Willow is here...and I'm taking Dawn to Italy for 2 weeks."
Buffy looked at Giles. "Ok well lets motor then."

L.A. 2004- Spike's apartment 2 days later.

'Ok mate...get a hold of yourself...It's just Buffy...All you have to do is call her and tell her that you're back...and hope that she doesnt kill you for not believing that she loved you.' Spike sighed as he picked up the phone and dialed the number.
-Ring...Ring...Ring...Ring-
-Hello you've reached Buffy and Dawn we're not home so at the sound of the beep do your thing.- BEEP!
"Buffy...It's Spike..um..I dont know how long I can talk on this thing, but I'm alive...well sorta...I'm still a vamp..but i got my soul and all that...and I just...I wanted to call and see if you were ok...I know we didnt end on such a good note but I wanted you to know something...I believed you...and I love you Buffy...my number is 555-6569..Call me I really wanna..." Spike said as the machine cut him off. 'Well mate you did it...You called her...Better hope she doesnt have a sudden blood lust and comes to kick your ass for not calling for the last 6 months.' Spike thought to himself as he fell asleep.

London 1893

"Mum!" Daphne yelled as she came out of her bedroom. Elizabeth walked out of the kitchen and up to her sixteen year old daughter's room.
"Yes dear?"
"Mom...can I go out with Adam tonight?"
Elizabeth thought for a second.
"Well since your father is out of town..I dont see why not...just be back before the sun comes up."
Daphne ran up and kissed her mother's cheek. "Thank you mum..I love you soo much."
"I know luv...now hurry up." Elizabeth said leaving the room.
"Mum?" Nicholas said as he came out of his room.
"Yes son?"
"When is da coming home?"
"In a week honey...he had another meeting to go to."
"Did another girl die again?"
Elizabeth looked at her son. "Where did you hear that?"
"Daphne told me...Mum dont get mad at her...I'm 10 now...I can know these things."
She looked down. "Yes you can son...I'll have you father explain it all when he gets back ok?"
Nick nodded and went back in his room.

London 1893- Later that night at a party

"You really do look beautiful Daphne." Adam said as he walked around the room with her.
"Thank you Adam...Hey do you feel like leaving this place?"
Adam looked at her. This was the side of Daphne that he liked.
"Sure...where did you have in mind?"
"Well you know that cemetary near my house?"
Adam looked at her.
"Yea?"
"Well I thought we could go there...you know see if there is such thing as a ghost."
Adam nodded and they left.

-An hour later-

"Daphne..are you sure about this?" Adam said as they walked into the cementary.
"Yes...What are you scared?" Daphne said as she looked at him.
"No...I'm just worried about your safety that's all."
"Well mister I'll have you know I can handle myself...I'm not a danty little lady that my mother makes me out to be you know?"
Adam smiled. That was very true. Daphne was definatly not the girl that her mother made her out to be. She was actually very adventerous..and people said she was alot like her da.
"Ok so you ready for a little fun?"
Adam nodded and they walked further inside.

"So you do this alot?" Adam asked
"No...well sometimes...da likes to come out here and look around. I can never figure out why though."
"You're da is really different than most people isnt he?"
Daphne turned around and smiled.
"Yea but that's why I love him so much...That's why he's kind of my hero."
Adam smiled.
"Well this is kind of boring...you wanna go somewhere else?" Daphne asked.
"Yea sure." Adam said as they started to walk off.
"Leaving so soon?" Someone asked behind them.
They turned around and were met with a man whose face was really bad looking.
"Man...what's wrong with you face?" Adam asked.
The man looked at Adam.
"You mean to tell me you havent seen a vampire before?"
Daphne looked at him.
"Well no because Vampires arent real."
"Oh what a stupid tasty little girl."
"Ok this guy is starting weird me out." Adam said.
"Me too...let's go adam." Daphne said as she grabbed adam's hand.
"Not so fast little ones." The vampire said as he grabbed Adam and threw him. "I'm not done with you yet."
Daphne looked at Adam laying unconscious on the ground. "Yea well now you are."
Daphne ran up to him and as if automatic she punched him straight in the face and knocked him to the ground.
The vampire looked at her. "How did such a little...wait a tick...you couldnt be...wait...You are."
The Vampire stood up and looked at Daphne.
"You're the slayer arent you?"
Daphne looked at him. "The what?"
"The slayer...and as you're duty slay him." A voice said behind her.
"What?" Daphne and the vampire said at the same time.
William walked out of the shadows.
"Here daph...use this." He said as he tossed her a stake.
Daphne took it and like all the stories said she pierced the vampire's heart with it. And the vampire turned to dust before her eyes.
William walked over to his daughter.
"Da what just happened?" Daphne said as she looked up at him.
William walked over to Adam and helped him up.
"I'll tell you when we get home, first lets get this boy home." William said as they walked out of the cememtary.

L.A. 2004-Motel

The stalker woke up from the dream. "Now that was weird. Why would I be having that dream...unless?"
The stalker got up and walked over to the window. "I'll get you...you lying bastard. I will get you for stealing my father's face. I will not let you live." The stalker said to the night.
-Ring.-
"Hello...oh hey chuck...Asking about me...tell them you dont know a Daphne Worthington...thanks." Daphne said as she hung up the phone. 'Now who the hell is looking for me?' Daphne thought to herself as she laid back down and went to sleep.
