Buffy woke up in a strange warehouse. Looking around she noticed another woman clad in chain mail, leather skirt, and high boots. "What am I doing here?" Buffy asked the woman.
"You are in the place all heroes go when they die." The Amazon explained.
"So I'm dead and I'm going to spend the rest of my life in a place that looks like the Factory."
"Factory?"
"Vampire Lair"
"Vampires, how exciting I spent most of my time fighting Greek Gods and warlords."
"Oh don't say Gods, Glory the stupid bitch I just finished fighting was a God. I always thought I'd die fighting I never figured I'd die sacrificing myself for my sister."
"To die fighting isn't so great either. I died with like a hundred arrows in me. Gabriel tried to save me, but she would have had to sacrifice millions of lives."
"Gabriel?"
"My best friend, sidekick. She was such a shy naïve girl when I met her, now she is a harden warrior with much pain and sorrow."
"Sounds like Willow. She was just a computer nerd, who couldn't get a date. Now she's a powerful witch."
Before their conversation could go any further a hot brunette guy appeared. "Xena, Gabriel told me," Hugging her he said, "You're staying with me on Mt. Olympus."
"Ares, I can't. I'm really dead this time and I'm staying here."
"But I love you." Ares said looking deep into her eyes.
"I know," Xena smiled, "but we were never meant to be."
As he left, Buffy could see all the strength drain out of Xena. Xena finally looked over at her, "Do relationships always hurt this much?"
"Beyond measure," Buffy agreed, "I know you don't want to hear this, but that sounded so much like Angel and me. If vampires could reach this world."
"We can Luv, but Angel doesn't know yet." Spike said appearing beside her.
"Spike, How?" Buffy asked.
"Vampires are dead remember. That means we can go wherever the dead can go.
Buffy cried into Spike's shoulder, "How is everybody?"
"How do you think they are? Grieving something bloody awful, especially Nibblet and the Watcher. Why did you do it? I mean I care about Nibblet, but the world's got to have a Slayer."
"Spike, look around. This is the land of eternal rest. No more spells or demons. No vamps sucking my blood. No body leaving me. I am at peace."
"You are so selfish"
"No the world was selfish for choosing me and taking away my life. I was happy before I was the Slayer. My biggest concern was a chipped nail or wearing the wrong dress. I want peace. Tell everybody I love them, but I am never coming back"
