~!~A Girl In A New World~!~
"Jessica, you coming?" Her best friend Sarah asked, she noticed that Jessicas face was glued to the television set."Come on, Buffy isn't that important."
"There in a sec, this is the part with Spike." Jessica was still watching the set.
"You've already seen it!" Sarah was getting frustrated.
"One sec!" Jessica yelled.
" I'm not waiting!" Sarah grabbed her soccer ball and left. That when Jessica realised she was obsessed and she didn't care.
"Fine, doesn't bother me." Jessica grabbed her duffel bag and started to load her Buffy box sets into it. " I was gonna sleep at Rachel's house anyway." Rachel was Jessica's cousin and loved Buffy just as much as her.
******************
2 hours later. Jessica left her house for Rachel's. She had to walk down Walker road. Sarahs street. Jessica walked past Sarahs house and noticed Sarah looking at her. Jessica waved but Sarah just shut her blinds.
" What did i do?" She stormed off down the street." I wish i didn't have to deal with this and that my life was like Buffy's." Jessica had just made a wish but had not noticed the vengeance demon behind the bushes. When Sarah had stormed out in a fit of fury, and vengeance, Howfreck was summoned to her dimension. " No, infact, i wish i was at Buffy's house. " There she went again and this time Howfreck granted it.
Walker road began to dissolve right before Jessica's eyes and it was freaking her out. At that moment, her and her stuff were pulled through a dimensional vortex.
Jessica had been falling for hours, or at least it seemed like it before she hit the floor. Her and her stuff landed on the pavement outside a house, somewhat familiar.
"Ow!" Jessica got up and rubbed her head.She looked up and saw the house. Buffy's house. " Did i hit my head harder then i thought?" No matter how much Jessica thought it was a joke, someone had to live there and that meant they should know where they are.
Jessica knocked on the door and almost passed out when she heard, or thought she heard, Dawns voice.
As she was about to run, the front door opened. Dawn was standing in the doorway, looking at Jessica.
" Can i help you?" Dawn asked.
"Dawn?" Jessica looked so confused.
" Do i know you?" Now Dawn looked confused.
"No, i don't know. I'm Jessica, i need your help. I need the slayer, Buffy." Dawn looked angry.
" Who are you?" Dawn asked.
"My name is Jessica and somehow i wound up here. Let me inside and i'll explain everything."
Dawn didn't trust her.
"Buffy!" Dawn yelled.
"Coming!"Buffy yelled to Dawn as she stepped out of the kitchen."This better be good, Spike won't wait for me to chain him up for...a minute."said Buffy.When Buffy saw this girl,Jessica, standing in there doorway, she had no idea whats was going on.
"Dawn, whats wrong. Let the girl in."Buffy looked at Jessica." Hi, I'm Buffy."
"I know, your the slayer, right?" Jessica looked at them both."You don't have to trust me, but i'm not a vampire. I'm just so confused.Can i use your phone?"She asked.
"Yeh, you can use the phone, its in the living room." Buffy watched as Jessica walked through the doorway of Buffy's house. " Proves she's not a vampire."
Jessica dialed her phone number into Buffy's phone but the operator just said that number doesn't exist.
"It said that number doesn't exist." Jessica looked worried and Buffy could see it.
" Why don't you tell us what happened." Buffy took the phone and put it down on the base then sat down beside jessica.
"You won't believe me." Jessica still looked so confused.
"Try me."Buffy smiled.
" Okay,"Jessica started her long story."this all started when i was at my house watching Buffy."
"Huh?" Dawn was freaking out.
" In my world, dimension, whatever, all this." Jessica pointed to the kitchen and then at Dawn." Its all a television show. A good one at that, especially when Spike and Buffy...never mind."
"A show?"Buffy was trying to cope.
"Yeh, i was watching the musical episode of Buffy. Then my friend Sarah, she got mad at me, because i watch to much Buffy and she left. So, i started packing up my box set's to take to my cousins house. I was walking down Walker road when i wished i was here. Then, before my eyes, Walker road started to dissolve and i wound up here."
"Vengeance demon." Buffy and Dawn chorused.
" Whats a box set?" Asked Dawn.
" Buffy on DVD."Jessica smiled and got the box sets out of her bag.
" Can i watch one?" Dawn was looking at season 6.
" Sure."
Dawn grabbed season 6 and went over to put "Once more with feeling" in the dvd player.
"This will shock you."
As the theme song was playing, she saw Buffy, opened eyed, staring at the TV.
" Thats not the shocking part."
As Buffy watched herself singing "Going through the motions" It looked as though she might pass out.Dawn was cracking up.
About 1 hour later, Jessica decided ,after all that, Buffy shouldn't see her and Spike kiss. She jumped up and stood in front of the TV.
" You don't want to see this part."
"Yes, i do." Buffy went over and moved Jessica. At that moment, Spike walked downstairs.Spike saw Buffy on the TV.
" Homemovies? This will be interesting."Buffy and Spike stared at the screen as her and Spikes TV duo kissed and just stood there shocked." Don't remember doing that."
"Told you it was shocking" Jessica whispered to Dawn, Dawn giggled.
"What the bloody hell is this?" Spike spotted Jessica."Who are you?" Dawn snuck up and grabbed the remote and rewound the kiss. When Buffy and Spike turned around, Dawn had frozen the scene where Buffy had her lips pressed up against Spike's.
" I'm Jessica and that..." She pointed to the screen,"is your future. It gets better." She grabbed the remote and put on "wrecked". She fast-forwarded it to the house scene and Buffy froze.
" When is this supposed to happen?"asked Buffy.
Jessica started counting on her fingers.
" What was the last thing you did?"Jessica asked." Any secret *heaven* talk with Spike?"
"how did you..."Buffy was shocked.
"Soon."
********************
Looked like Jessica was right. A few days later, Sweets , a lord of the dance demon, came and made everyone sing. And at the end of the day, Buffy and Spike shared there *kiss*.
Throughout all of that, Jessica just sat there and sung along to the words. She also got her and Dawn front row seats to watch the spectacular kiss.
The next night, at the bronze, Buffy had made-out with spike. Dawn and Jessica weren't there, but they had been at her house watching that *episode*.
It was like this over and over until she slept with Spike. That night, Spike had found out that she came back wrong. He could hit her. He had told her to meet him but she never showed so he found her and started pounding on her. She, of course being Buffy, fought back. One thing led to another and Buffy ended up waking up with him in a crumbled down building, naked.
All day, she kept having flashbacks to that night and the song he sang to her a few nights ago.
i died,
so many years ago,
you can make me feel like it isn't so,
and why you come to be with me,
i think i finally know,
your scared,
ashamed of what you feel,
and you can't tell the ones you love,
you know they couldn't deal,
but whisper in a dead mans ear,
that doesn't make it real
I came to him, she thought, whats wrong with me?
Buffy started to cry. She had another flashback to the stuff Spike did to her that night. All good things, yet so wrong.
" I need help." Buffy sat down and started to cry again.
Thats great,
but i don't wanna play,
'cause being with you touches me,
more than i can say,
and since i'm only dead to you,
I'm saying stay away,
and let me rest in peace.
i should have listened. I'm using him and he doesn't realize it.Whether its Spike or not, he shouldn't have to deal with it. She started to cry again, then realised Jessica would know what to do.
*********************
" Jessica!" Buffy stormed in to Dawns room. Jessica and Dawn looked away from the TV. Dawn stood up and went over to slap Buffy. Then she stormed out of the room."Why did she do that?"
" We just watched an episode of Buffy, wasn't a cheery episode."Jessica paused the episode,"What do ya need?"
"How do i end it with Spike?"Buffy sat down on the end of the bed.
" Would you rather see it or hear it?" Jessica asked.
"I can see it?" Buffy was actually looking relieved.
"Yeh." Jessica put on the episode of Buffy, she was dieing to see.
Buffy sat there mesmorized, as Riley and *his wife* hunted the demon, then as she went to Spike for sex. Then she got to the end, and watched as she broke Spike's heart. At the end of the episode, Buffy was in tears.How could she do that to him?She thought to herself.
" Oh god." Buffy was crying hard now.
"It hasn't happened yet, you can change what happens." Jessica comforted her."You love him and you *can* change what happens."
"I do not love him!" Buffy sounded offended.
"Yes, you do. Trust me on this."Jessica grabbed her video and put it away, then she left the room.
**********************
Dawn was sitting in the living room when Jessica walked in.
"I slapped her!" Dawn looked really beaten up, figuritivly speaking. " I know she *will* deserve it but why did i slap her?"
"Don't ask me." Jessica laughed,"It was funny though." Dawn gave her an evil glare."Okay, not so funny."
"Wanna go to the bronze?" Dawn asked as she stood up.
"Sure, i heard that Willow and Xander might be there." Jessica grabbed her coat and left with Dawn.
***********************
Later, at Spike's crypt.
The metal door creaked open, strange, it was usually slammed open.
Buffy crept in.
"Spike?"She went inside some more."Spike!"
"I'm here. No need to yell." Spike climbed up the ladder and looked at Buffy."Need anything?"
"Yeh. Do you wanna go out, like to the bronze?" She looked a little nervous.
"Are you asking me out on a date?" asked Spike.
"Maybe...yes." Buffy laughed.
"I'd love too."Buffy walked over and took hold of Spikes hand.
"So, why the change of heart?" Spike asked. Buffy told him, on the way out, how she had seen how she broke up with him, and what Jessica told her.
************************
Dawn and Jessica danced the night away with Willow and Xander, without realizing, Buffy and Spike had just walked in.
Dawn looked over to the bar and saw Buffy and Spike ordering drinks, holding hands.
"Jessica," She whispered,"Jessica look." She pointed to the bar without Xander or Willow realizing it.Jessica saw there hands, laced.
"Ahhh." Jessica went all girly on Dawn.
"Huh. Hello? Willow and Xander." Jessica lost the girly smile.
"Crap." She saw Buffy and Spike sit at a table in the back."Don't worry, they can't see them back there." At that moment, Spike took Buffys hand and led her onto the dancefloor."Double Crap."
Jessica and Dawn made an excuse to walk away, then they ambushed Spike and Buffy.
"What the hell are you doing?" Yelled Dawn. Buffy and Spike didn't stop dancing but did answer.
"We're on a date." Buffy grabbed Spikes waist, and started to move, with him, to the beat of the music. Which actually had a sort of carabbean feel to it. " And i'm having fun."
"Xander and Willow are right over there." Jessica yelled as she pointed them out.
"So." Buffy stopped dancing."Oh.I have an idea." She grabbed Spike and ran towards Xander and Willow.
"Heya Buffy...Count Insanity." Xander gave Spike an evil glare then spotted there hands."Are you guys on a date?" Buffy nodded her head.
"Seriously," Willow asked. Buffy nodded again."Wow. Are you happy?"
"Actually...yeh." Spike slipped his arm around her waist."You okay with this Xander?"Xander had a look of disgust on his face.
"Why would i be okay with you dating...that?" Xander remarked. He obviously wasn't happy. "Did he bribe you, or...or...or did you...bet and lose...or what?"
"I...a few nights ago, i kissed him. He didn't kiss me...i kissed him. Then, i had sex with him a few nights after that.After that, i went to find out how to end it with him.Jessica showed me how i ended it and it chilled me to the bone. The things i said...i couldn't let that happen, so i took a chance."Buffy explained.
"I can't handle this, i'm sorry but i gotta go." With that Xander grabbed his coat and left.
"Want me to go after him, pet?" Spike asked.
"No, leave him.I love you and thats all that matters."
**************************
"Hey, Anya!" Dawn yelled out for Anya as she walked through the magic box's door.
"Yeh." Anya came out of the basement carrying a large box.
"Jessica needs to get back home, a vengeance demon got her here." Dawn peeked in the box and put on a look of disgust. "Could you perhaps find out who did it?"
"Sure, why not." Anya grabbed her coat and headed for the door."Oh by the way, could you put that stuff away." Dawn looked at Jessica and they both looked disgusted.
***************************
Anya was sitting at a table in the espresso pump, a coffee house, drinking a tall cappuchino when Howfreck poofed next to her.
"Anyanka." Howfreck looked so pleased to see her.
"Hallie. Oh my god, did you hear about that girl being wished here? Wonder who did it." Anya looked down at her coffee.
"I'm your girl." Hallie looked proud.
"Really?" Hallie nodded her head." Nice." Anya grabbed Hallies amulet and smashed it on the table."Very nice." Then Anya payed and left Hallie sitting there, powerless.
*****************************
The very same moment the amulet was smashed, Jessica disappeared.
"Jessica?" Dawn was confused." Jessica!" Dawn started to cry.
"Whats wrong?" Buffy had just walked in.
"Jessica's gone." Dawn was still crying.
"She had to go sometime, lets watch some TV. I'm sure we can get her back somehow." Buffy switched on the TV and there was Jessica.
"What the..." Dawn looked at the TV.
"Dawn?Dawn!" Jessica was on the ground of Walker Road calling out Dawn's name. "I'm home. Hey, Dawn, If you can hear me then i just want you to know, i'm home and okay. I'm gonna miss you."
"I miss you too." Dawn yelled out, then she saw a video tape on the ground. It was Jessicas "Once More With Feeling" tape.
I guess Dawn will always have a part of Jessica with her.
~!~I hope you like the new and improved Bronze part~!~
