A/N: First fic I've ever posted (but not the first I've written) so be gentle will ya? This story started and finished in my dreams with some parts extended or embellished for your reading pleasure. I was out for about 15 hours and had fallen asleep shortly after reading 'Alice through the Looking Glass.' I hope for my very first literature review, lol. Sorry about spelling and grammer! I have no beta or parental proofreader. Thanks in advance for reading!
Chapter 1 – Down the Rabbit Hole
I dream about them all the time now. I wake up inside my mind to my night job, slaying vampires. Crazy I know, but I almost like it better than my day job: university student extraordinaire, righteous, normal girl. Dunno what Buffy was complaining about all those years.
I opened my eyes to a white and pastel sort of apartment setting. Immediately I looked down to see who I was or had become. Girl, check. Leather pants, check. Converse shoes, check. Long brown hair, check. And oh! A stake in my right hand. Right.
Congratulations, I thought to myself. Tonight I will be playing myself.
Sometimes, I become a completely different person and quite forget who I am when I am asleep. I made a mental note to remember I am me, in order to be less likely to become confused and become somebody else. After all, I wouldn't want to changes sides from good to evil, you know?
As my vision become clearer I noticed a blonde figure sitting in front of me on the couch, a couch that seemed to be metaphorically swallowing her whole. It had to be Buffy, I thought. Good! My body relaxed. Sometimes it takes an entire dream to find her and get on with things, especially if she is meant to be the main character of the night.
As it sometimes happens in dreams, I received a mental flash of back story. It seemed that I was Buffy's favourite junior slayer, and I was living with her, keeping her company and meant to be getting trained. Then, I also remember how everyone was against her right now. I was the only one who had stood by her. Willow, Xander, Spike and even Giles had abandoned her. Moving closer, with a gasp I saw exactly why this was so.
