Xander sat behind the wheel of his truck in the parking lot of the mega mall. He was waiting for Buffy to come out. An old Lady Gaga tune played on the radio. Xander drummed his fingers on the dashboard humming. He looked at his watch. Buffy had been in the mall for half an hour now and she told Xander she was just going to be a minute. The problem was during the right sale Buffy lost all concept of time. He felt for the lever under his seat and reclined laying back. He closed his eyes just settling in to his sweet spot when he recognized the familiar voice yelling. "XANDER coming YOUR WAY." Quickly his eyes eye popped open. He saw a man running through the parking lot as Buffy was running hot on his heals.

Fortunately for Xander the guy was running right at him. As he ran between the vehicles Xander waited for the right moment and tossed the door to his truck open . As fast as the man was running he couldn't stop and the hard steel of the door clotheslined him. Xander jumped out of the car. "And that's how you get a W." The guy laid on the ground sucking in air. Xander put his foot on the man's chest and raised his arms in the air. Buffy came running up next to him.

"Good job Xander."

Xander looked at her. "What do we got here? Can't be a vampire in this sunlight, demon or beastie is disguise."

Buffy shook her head. "This is actually just a good old fashioned mugger." Buffy leaned down to the knocked out man. "This lovely piece of crap stole a backpack off a little kid in the mall."

Mall security ran up behind Buffy the balding overweight mall cop held his side. "Thank you miss I think we can take it from here. The police are already on the way."

Buffy held up the back pack. "What about this and the little kid."

The guard slapped the cuffs on the assailant and picked him up off the ground. "I didn't get to see what the kid looked like but if you want to."

"Do your job? Find the kid and return the backpack?"

The guard nodded and smiled. "That would be great."

Xander looked at the door inspecting it for any damage. "My truck better not be damaged."

Buffy rolled her eyes. "Calm down it is a truck it's meant to take the occasional hit." She sighed "Come on help me find this id and get him his stuff back."

Xander sighed "Fine but I hope you are done with your shopping."

Buffy rolled her eyes not saying anything one way or the other. "Just let's find this kid."

He walked along side of Buffy and opened the door to the mall for her. "What's this kid look like?"

"I think he had a yellow shirt and red jumper."

"What is a jumper?"

"You know they are like over alls."

"How old is he?"

"I don't know 2 maybe 3"

"What did his parents look like?"

"I didn't see any parents I just saw the kid."

"What? Who leaves a kid alone in the mall?"

Buffy walked back to the spot of the crime. "This is where the kids was. I don't see him now."

Xander took a deep breath. "Not seeing anyone matching that description."

"Well Xander you go left and I will go right meet in the middle."

"Sounds like a plan."

They both looked through the crowded mall for the next half hour. Unfortunately the kid they were looking for was gone. Buffy sat on the bench waiting for Xander to return. As she sat on the bench she noticed a shoe sale going on. In all fairness Xander wasn't back yet and it would only be a minute. She stood to her feet ready to make her way in to the store.

"Freeze Summers."

She closed her eyes. "Xander I was just going to be a minute."

"Right you a minute."

Buffy turned looking at him. "Did you find the kid?"

Xander shook his head. "If you are asking that it means you didn't find him either."

Xander sighed. "Come on we have to get going. "

"What about the bag?"

"Willow's birthday party is in half an hour. Why don't you look through the bag on the way home and see if you can find a name or address."

"I guess that makes sense. I don't want to be late for the party."

10 minutes later they were in the truck. Xander was driving his truck with Buffy next to him in the front seat. Buffy was looking at the back pack and smiled. "Ah ha. We got a name I think."

"What is the name?"

"S. Griffin."

"What about an address."

Buffy shook her head. "Maybe inside the bag."

"Well let's go rummaging through a 3 year olds bag and see if we can find anything good."

Buffy pulled the zipper down opening the bag. "Well let's see here we got a ziplock bag of Goldfish crackers."

"Ooooh gimme I am starving."

"Nooooo. These belong to a little boy."

Xander grumbled "Not like he's eating them now."

Buffy just continued pulling thing out of the bag. "Oh it looks like there are blue prints in the back."

"Blue prints for what?"

Buffy read the top right corner. "Schematics for a time machine."

Xander laughed. "What the hell kind of kid is this?"

Buffy just kept digging. "I think there is one more thing." She reached deeper in to the bag and pulled out an ipod. "Oh I think I found an iPod."

"Really?"

Buffy held it up like a trophy. "See."

"When we get back we should give it to Willow. Sometimes people register them. We might be able to find a name that way."

"That is a good idea Xander."

Xander stopped the truck at the red light. "Well you know I am entitled the occasional good idea."

"Wonder what kind of music a 3 year old listens to."

"I can't have a goldfish cracker but you can snoop through his music."

"Oh stop." She pushed the on button and the it suddenly occurred to her this wasn't an iPod at all. The device lit up in Buffy's hand and suddenly she felt herself getting pulled away. Xander was suddenly pulled along with her. He looked at her as a blue light seemed to envelope and wash over both of them. Xander looked at Buffy yelling "What did you do?"

(Okay so this is my starter for a challenge/fic. Anyone who ever seen the Family guy Episode Road To the Multi verse should be some what familiar with multi verse concept. I got this idea today that I am going to write the first chapter but from here out I am giving 100 percent control of Where Buffy and Xander go from here out. I will write them in to any tv show or movie ,commercial infomercial you name it I will do it. There are a lot of shows this concept would lend itself well to. It wouldn't be hard to picture Buffy on Smallville, True Blood, Vampire Diaries et and if that is what you guys want hey I will do it. But I'm hoping for some wacky crazy suggestions. Buffy and Xander end up in Mayberry on the Andy Griffith show or maybe Gone with the wind. I can't promise I will know everything about the suggestions but I kind of think that might be what could make this interesting. I will do some research but it might be a lot of cliche ignorant funny writing. Bonus points for anyone who requests something with a Scooby actor already in it. Like what if Buffy got sent to How I met your mother and keeps mistaking Lilly for Willow. Buffy and Xander find Faith as a Cheerleader in bring it on. What ever you got I will do my best. Hope you guys like the concept. So tell me in the reviews where is the first place I am sending them)
