Wesley, still waking up walked over to Giles and looked at the book in his hand, “Of course, I can’t believe I had forgotten about this.” He took the book in his hands and continued to read to himself.
Giles, still smiling, started to explain, “I’m really not sure exactly how future Buffy got here but we were right. To get back she needs to change something. Usually when one is sent back in time they are sent to make something different…to umm…change their fait so to speck. Once Buffy changes what she needs to change she should be placed back in her future body and whatever the change here was should change the future along with it. When Buffy gets back something significant should be different.”
Wesley was listening but also still reading at the same time. He looked as if he had found something else. He looked up at Giles and smiled, “Yes that is how she must get back but I believe I know how she got here as well.”
Giles looked amazed and also confused that he didn’t find it himself, “You do?”
“Yes…it’s simple really. It has to do with Buffy’s mind. Buffy is a slayer and she has already been through a lot in our time and survived longer then others. Now the future Buffy is here from four years from now which is even more rare. You said when I first came here that Buffy wasn’t like other slayers and she isn’t. Buffy is much more powerful.” Giles looked confused till not understanding exactly where Wesley was trying to go with this. Wesley continued, “I believe that Buffy subconsciously sent herself back in time.”
A light bulb went on in Giles’ head as he sat down, “Of course.”
Wesley continued his thoughts, “It makes perfect sense. Slayers have always been able to do things that normal people couldn’t. Why not travel back in time?” Wesley looked at his book again, “See it says right here that a slayer way back in the 1400’s claimed to have been sent back in time finding out later that it was her own wishing of something to have changed that brought her there.”
Giles got up out of his chair looking confused, “Where did you find that?”
“It was on the next page…you didn’t get to it yet,” Wesley smiling at the fact that he found it and not Giles.
Giles just smirked at him, “Right. So, Buffy was most likely wishing that something had been different when she fell asleep that night.”
“Yes I suppose but what I can’t figure out is why? I mean I’m sure that she has wished things had been different millions of times before,” Wesley said with a confused look on his face, “So, why now? Why this time and not any other?”
Giles raised his eyebrows, “Well I supposed this time it was something extremely important. Something that a higher power felt she needed to change in order to keep the balance.” Giles paused for a moment and then started again, “I think it’s time to find Buffy and figure out exactly what it was she was thinking about that night.”
As Giles started to walk towards the door Wesley spoke up, “Wait,” he said as he looked at his watch, “it’s four in the morning the girl is probably asleep. Do you think we should wake her?”
Giles turned around and started walking back towards Wes, “No I supposed your right. We’ll call her first thing in the morning and have her come right over.”
Giles and Wesley both sat down and with a triumphant sigh Wesley said, “Well I believe that was a job well done for tonight wouldn’t you say?” He smiled and waited for Giles to reply and when he didn’t he looked over at him only to find that he had passed in his chair. Wesley just shrugged his shoulders and put his head down on the table. Within no more then two minutes both watchers were fast asleep in their chairs.

When Buffy opened her eyes the sun was shinning brightly through her window. It was early, she couldn’t sleep much last night because so many thoughts were going through her head. She thought about why she was there, how she got there, if asking Angel to stay was something she should have done, and tons of other things. Even now she was just lying in her bed tossing thoughts around her head, mainly thoughts about Angel. That was real smooth of her to just go over there and ask him to stay. “Oh yea Angel by the way your going to break up with me soon and then leave, could you not do that for me? Thanks,” Buffy said to herself, “real smooth.”
She wondered what he would say and how she would feel about either answer. If he said that he wouldn’t stay she knew she would be upset but at the same time if he said yes then she would have to deal with the pain of seeing him all the time and not being able to be with him. She was so confused she was ready to rip her hair out. Luckily her mom came into the room before she could get the chance, “Buffy? Mr. Giles is on the phone for you.”
“Ok mom…I’ll be right down,” Buffy said with a smile. When her mother left the room she got up out of bed with a sigh, “Back to the real world…great,” she said as she scrunched up her nose. She slipped on her fuzzy slippers and walked downstairs to pick up the phone.
