Disclaimer: So I called Joss up, after our little spat, asking if he wanted me back, and he was all "Yeah, no. I heard you were just using me for Spike." and I was all "OF COURSE I WAS! Now can I have him? PLEASE?". *dial tone*. I guess that's a no...
Previouslies: Buffy was on break and got drunk at a bar. On her way home she got lost, when a bunch of people fell from the sky, including the guy she was getting drunk over. WHAT WILL HAPPEN?
P.S. That last guy who fell was Connor, I don't think I made that very clear, and I just wanted to clear that up for the next chapter. Also, thanks to batgirl2992, Evelyn Knight, applemysteries, katieg22, and jaimee01 for reviewing. And applemysteries? That's exactly why I wrote it ;)
Chapter 2
"Buffy?" Angel asked, looking just as surprised as the rest of them.
"The one and only. Only, not really the only since I activated all those Slayers, and not really the one, since Faith and all, but whatever I was Chosen first, so ha! Although if this is a drunken hallucination, I suppose there could be more of me. Or maybe I really passed out in that alley, and I'm really dreaming all this. Or maybe this is-"
"Buffy! This isn't a dream or a drunken hallucination," Angel interrupted, the last part dripping with disapproval.
"But it has to be a dream or something. Otherwise, why is Spike here? Although in my dreams he's usually either fighting me or naked, so… maybe it's a hallucination? But then-"
"BUFFY!" Angel shouted , noticing Spike's grin at the 'naked' comment. "You're obviously drunk, and it looks like we could all use a little rest and first aid…" he said, looking around and noticing his group's unharmed state. "Or not. I- Wes! You're okay? How- Never mind. Buffy, is there somewhere we can go to, uh, freshen up?"
"What?" she asked, startled from staring at Spike. "Oh, yeah. The new headquarters is right up the road. I guess you guys should just, uh, follow me?"
She started up the hill, leading the rag tag team silently towards the factory, constantly looking back at the man she'd been sure she'd lost forever.
"Giles! Do we still have any whiskey, or did Xander drink it all?" Buffy asked, bursting through the back door.
"I think we still have a bottle or two, but Buffy, I really disapprove of you two drinking so much, that's not the way either of you should deal with your prob-"
He started, seeing the tired and haggard looking group behind Buffy.
"Buffy, who've you brought home with you?"
"Just my hallucinations," she answered, slightly slurred. "But if we want them to stay, I'm gonna need that whiskey."
"Buffy, I hardly think- Wesley? Is that you? And Angel and… SPIKE?"
"Like I said, to make with the stay-ness, I need whiskey-ness," she hiccupped. The buzz was starting wear off, and she seriously wasn't ready to face reality armed with a battering ram of a headache, just yet.
"Fine, here," Giles said rather absently, pulling a bottle of whiskey from the pantry; he wasn't in the mood to argue with a stubborn, drunk, super-being.
"Um, Giles? A little help here?" Spike asked, drawing his attention from the now guzzling Slayer to the two vampires stuck outside without and invitation.
"Oh, yes, come in, both of you."
"Thanks mate."
"So, um, perhaps we should head into the living room and discuss, ah, why you're here?"
"Why is that human drinking that liquid? The scent of it already pours from its secretions. Why does it ingest more?" the blue-haired woman asked bluntly.
"I'll explain alcohol to you later, Illyria, but in the meantime let's try and uncover why were suddenly in the midst of what appears to be the new Watchers Council, when twenty minutes I ago, I thought I was dead," Wesley said.
"Dead? Dear lord. I suppose we have quite a lot discuss then. Come along Buffy. Buffy?" Giles looked back into the kitchen, and then into the living room with the others, but the Slayer was gone.
A/N: I know, it's really short, but there WILL be Spuffiness, this was jsut the best place to break it. Plus, the next one gets kinda hectic, with a lot of charcters showing up, so wanted to keep this one light. May not be able to post for a while, my teachers decided to give me five tests in one day, so hang in there, I'll try to update soon.
