"Sex is not a relationship!" Angel yelled.

"It is if you do it enough times, oh wait, you wouldn't know anything about that, would you?" Spike replied.

"It's still not a relationship!"

"We didn't only have sex, you bloody poof. We had a connection. We knew what the other needed, even if it was just someone to sit with. We pulled each other back to earth when we wanted everything to just be over with. We talked about things we never told anyone else about. THAT, nancy, was me and luv's relationship!" Spike spat, glaring at Angel.

Angel ran a hand over his face as him and Spike continued their weekly fight over who had the better relationship with Buffy. Looking up when there was a knock on the door, he sat down in his chair. "Come in!"

A blonde vampire, wearing a pink dress suit walked in. "Angel, there's someone from Sunnydale here to see you."

"Sunnydale? That's not possible." Spike said.

"They rebuilt it." Angel said, not looking away from the female.

"When?"

"Who is it?" Angel asked, ignoring Spike, who was now slouched in a large leather chair.

"Some girl named Dawn."

"Dawn? Why is she here?"

"Lil bit? She's here? Think something' happened?" Spike said, sitting up nervously.

"Does she know you're alive, Spike?" Angel turned to the bleached blonde.

"Yea, but I had her promise not to tell Buffy. Send her in Harms." Spike said.

"Don't tell her what to do. I'm the boss around her." Angel turned to Harmony. "Send her in."

Spike and Harmony rolled their eyes and Harmony disappeared, closing the large oak door, only to have it opened again by Dawn.

"Hey guys. We need to talk." Dawn said as she walked over to Spike and hugged him, then sat down on the arm rest of his chair.

"What's going on? Are you and Buffy okay?" Angel said.

"I'm fine, but Buffy's been better." She said, her hands in her lap.

"What happened?" Angel and Spike asked in unison.

"Nothing that bad, she's not hurt or anything, but I didn't know where else to bring her, where she would be safe."

"She's here?" asked Spike.

Down looked at Spike and nodded. "Yea, she's off trying to find a restroom so she can fix her 'face'." Dawn said, rolling her eyes, obviously annoyed.

"Then what's going on?" said Angel.

"Well, we were out patrolling and this weird looking demon showed up. We were fighting and everything seemed fine until she got hit with some blood splatter. Then the next day, well…" Dawn sighed.

"Tell us what happened, bit." Spike said, rubbing her back.

"Well…" Dawn was interrupted by a loud scream, then Buffy burst through the office door, slamming it closed behind her and leaning against it, her head down and out of breath.

"What happened this time?" Dawn said annoyed. "An ugly guy say hi?" She said, turning to look at Buffy.

Spike and Angel were shocked by what they saw. Buffy Summers, world's greatest slayer, brave, fearless, determined, was now a few inches shorter, thinner, and younger.

"Did you see that thing out there! It's green! And has horns! It tried to attack me! Go kill it!" Buffy squealed.

"That was Lauran! And I'm not going to kill him! He was probably trying to give you a damn hug!" Dawn said.

"Whatever! You never believe me!" Buffy said, still out of breath.

Dawn rolled her eyes. "PLEASE tell me you can change her back. I never thought I would miss her being pushy and stubborn, but I do. I miss it. Please, bring her back!" Dawn said.

"Vicis verto." Angel said, standing up and walking around his desk towards Buffy.

"What, no way, those things haven't been around for decades." Spike said, also standing up and walking over to her.

"What's a Vicis verto?" Dawn asked.

"Time turner. You come into contact with it's blood and within 24 hours you become who you were before your most life changing decision." Angel said.

"So what happens?" asked Dawn.

"It's kind of like amnesia. It doesn't usually affect someone this badly though. Until she remembers a certain thing, she won't be back to normal." Spike said.

"What does she have to remember?"

"Whatever makes her want to come back to reality. It's up to her subconscious." Said Angel.

"So what do we do?" Dawn asked.

"Act as if she's a new slayer." Replied Angel.

"So we need to train her?" said Dawn as Buffy wandered over to a large couch and laid down.

Angel, Spike and Dawn watched as Buffy pulled out her cell phone and started texting. Singing softly to herself, she looked over at them, smiled and gave a small wave, then went back to texting.

"Seriously?" asked a very less than enthused Dawn.
