Chapter 1

"Well is that everything. Giles?" Buffy said, hating the fact that she had to 'spring cleaning' the magic shop, to make room for more weapons.

"Yes. We can take a break. Let's see how things are faring in front." Giles wiped his glasses, tired. He and Buffy walk out and saw Willow trying to stop Spike and Xander from fighting.

"Oh hi Buffy, Giles, all finish." Willow said. The minute Willow said Buffy the boys stop and turned. Xander looked flush, but then he was in a debate about something with Spike, who can get on anyone nerves, by the he was smirking at Xander.

"Yes. Man, there's a lot of stuff. I would never have gotten it done if it wasn't for Giles." Buffy sitting down on the chair in front of the counter.

"And not to mention the non-active evil demons." Anya said finishing putting the last touches on displayed.

"Yeah, hey has anyone found out why that is?" Buffy ask. She looked around at everyone, but they all said no.

"It weird but there can only be two reasons right. One, they're afraid of something big and dangers that's 'bout to come. Or two, they're having vamp-meeting or picking a new vamp-leader like in "Cirque Du Freak" by Darren Shan.", Dawn was trying to come up with answers.

"Dawn, you read too many Vamp books. But I don't think the second reason is true because Spike is still here, and I don't think he leaving, are you?" Buffy turn to Spike, who was sitting on the countered eating peanuts.

"Nope I'm staying right here where all the action happens, beside Buffy's right we Vampires live for ourselves. There was only one Master, and he gone. And those who continue his way won't ever let anyone take his place. Hey, is there any blood here, these are making my mouth dry." Spike clearing his throat as Anya rolled her eyes and got him blood.

"So then it has to be number one. Something bad is coming but what is it?" Xander ask.

"Well we'll just have to research in till we find something." Giles went to research.

"Okay well while you guys do that. I'm going to shower and take a nap." Buffy getting her stuff, yawning all the while.

"Are you okay, Buffy? Maybe you're overdoing it." Willow said worried about her best friend.

"No no its not that I just haven't been sleeping well. I keep dreaming about L.A. for some reason." Buffy very confused on that. She has been dreaming when she first learned about slaying. Everyone saw that she was in another world. A world that she never discuss with them. The gang was so close on that we didn't know anything about each other. Even Giles, Spike, and Anya talked about their past, the only one who has was Buffy. She never talked about L.A. or what happen when she became The Slayer. And when anyone tried to bring it up, she twists the conversation elsewhere. Buffy snapping out of it, and walking out the door.

"There is something wrong here. I wonder why she never talks about L.A. I'm surprise she even mentioned." Willow said. And everyone agreed.

"Well we can't worry about it now. Let's get to work." Spike jumped off the counter and headed towards the books.

"Wait your going to help?" Xander said surprised.

"Of course or haven't you notice that the bloody sun is out and since I'm stuck in here what else can I do." Spike shrug. And everyone got to work. While Buffy was thinking hard as she scrub shampoo in her hair. When she was done she put on a robe then laid down on the bed and closed her eyes and dreamed.

Buffy's Dream

"Buffy come with me. Let's go see the world. And we can fight Vampires together too. I mean noone can be worst then what's-his-face. Please it'll be lonely without you." A dashing young man with brown hair and eyes, who had been with her, when she went through her 'Big Change'

"I can't. My mother, she needs me. You're the one that taught me how to live unrich like. Now I have to teach her, can't do this alone. I know her. She already lost the man she loves, a home; I can't let her lose a daughter too." Buffy pleaded her case to the first man who truly accepted her with everything.

"I understand. But at least I tried. Maybe we'll see each other. Where will you go so I know where find you I need anything?" The young man on the motorcycle said.

"Sunnydale, Ca. I'll miss you, and you can come over anytime." Buffy kissed him one more time. And watch as he drove off wishing she can go with him.

"Buffy help…He's back. I'm coming." The dream changed.

Buffy's Dream Ends

Buffy woke with a start, her heart pumping fast. Looking around, she notices that she slept the night away. Pushing the dream aside Buffy got dress and went downstairs. After breakfast, she went to the 'Magic Shop' and work out.

"Giles she's been in there for over an hour. I think something is troubling her?" Willow burdens her worries on the old wise man, who was shelving books.

"Yes I know that Willow, but until she speak we can't do anything." Giles saw disappointed, understanding, and worry in the young witch eyes.

"Hey everyone what are we doing today?" Buffy out afresh. Last night the gang had research as much as can, but found nothing.

"Well that bites. How am I supposed to be a slayer with nothing to slay?" Buffy, who had her back towards the door, stated.

"Well I can certainly help there, Buffy." Everyone turn towards the man, who wore ripped jeans, a dirty white shirt, and a leather jacket. In one hand he held a gym bag. Buffy turned slowly around, and when she saw who standing there, she smiled and ran and jumps on the visitor.

"Pike, you came. Took you long enough." When Buffy jump into Pike arms, he swung her around, and her down.

"Hey you grew your hair, I like it." Pike touching her head. A cough came from the audience. And Giles stepped forward,

"Buffy, who is this young man?" Giles ask the question on everyone's minds.

"Oh this is Oliver Pike. Pike this is my watcher Giles, my best friends Willow, who is a very powerful witch and Xander, and my other friends, Anya who is a ex-demon, and the second Vampire with a soul, Spike, and my little sister, Dawn. Pike is a friend from L.A. Which reminds me, Pike what are you going here?" Buffy, after explain Pike, turn to him waiting for his answer, but at the same time fearing it.

"Wow, your hanging out with a new crew. Explain this to me later. Okay" Buffy nodded at this.

"Yeah well I kinda ran into trouble again." Pike rubbed his hair wondering where to start, and ware of everyone staring at him.

"Pike, when are you not getting in trouble, I think I can remember all the times I had to save you." Buffy chuckling.

"Yeah but I save your butt a couple times too. Remember Prom miss unprepared." Smiling down at her.

"Okay okay. I won't go down that road. So what brings you down here? I'm guessing by the unannounced there's more then trouble?" Buffy question him.

"Yeah, but this time it's big. I found him Buffy. I really did. But that's the good part; the bad part is that they're also back. And I'll tell you more, after I know if they're trustworthily with this info." Nodding towards the fending crew.

"The-ir, their trust worthily. What did you just say?" A shock Buffy began to pace.

"I found Merrick, and Lothos is back. Along with Benny and Lefty. I'm guessing Lefty and Benny were never totally dead and they brought back Lothos and Merrick, somehow."
