Plot: What if Willow's spell to resurrect Buffy had failed but instead brought Mary Tudor back to life? No Tara and Willow is straight. Mary Tudor is from season 2 of the Tudors and Xander and Anya aren't together although she may make an appearance.
Willow couldn't believe it, all those months of careful planning and still the spell had failed! It was a whole month later before she called Angel and Faith and asked them to stay in Sunnydale for a while, Willow hated to do it, since it felt like a betrayal to Buffy but Faith was the only Slayer left and as much as she didn't want to admit it, they needed her.
Riley meanwhile had heard about Buffy's death, it was a crushing blow considering he was about to return to Sunnydale anyway, but now he had to, he had to know whether Buffy really was gone.
Xander and Spike hated each other, but now in the months after Buffy's death they shared a responsibility, Dawn. Xander felt it was his duty to look after his little Dawnster now that she was all-alone in the world and besides, he really loved the kid. Spike on the other hand looked out for Dawn because she was his last real link to Buffy and if Dawn died, that was it, Buffy really was gone.
Mary had no idea where she was, one minute she was looking out the window from Hatfield and then she was in this dark, smelly damp place. It certainly was not suitable for a Princess. She dusted off her Tudor green dress and began to walk uncertainly away from the direction of the alley and towards some houses, hoping to find someone that she knew. Anyone at all would do, even now she would be grateful if she saw Anne Boleyn.
It was a Saturday night and the rest of the Scooby gang were doing what they usually did, trying to act happy but failing miserably. Only four people lived at the house now, Willow, Xander, Faith and Dawn, Spike still lived in his crypt, Angel was renting an apartment downtown and as for Riley, they'd heard he was back but so far he hadn't made an appearance. Most nights they didn't even have the heart to go patrolling anymore.
Mary made her way towards the only house on the street that had light coming from it. With such a bright light surely they must be of considerable wealth? Maybe they could help her. Shriving with the cold she made her way to the front door finding it strange that the door was not carved wood but something else all together. Gathering her courage, she knocked.
At that precise moment the entire gang were there: Angel, Faith, Dawn, Xander, Spike and Willow. They were all busy in the lounge room watching some lame children's program trying to keep Dawn entertained. Suddenly a loud knock sounded as Dawn jumped up from the couch eager to escape, she opened the door.
"Uh… can I help you?"
Dawn asked looking at the girl's weird outfit.
Mary frowned when she realized what strange clothes the girl was wearing and not only that she didn't seem to know who she was, plus she had a very unfamiliar accent.
" Madam, I wish to inquire as to where the nearest inn is, as I seem to have wondered far from Hatfield."
Dawn screwed up her face, trying to understand this woman's strange speech. Finally the others took notice of what was going on and they looked over at the girl quizzically, except Willow. Shakily Willow stood up and walked over to the girl, hardly daring to breathe as she whispered.
" Is that… Mary Tudor?"
