Chapter Summery: When Buffy, Faith, and Willow meat their deceased loved ones, old issues are raised
Chapter 2
The three girls looked up to see that Tara was sitting in a magical circle, in the Summers' old home.
"Surprise, for all of us, I guess." Tara said
The three of them looked around, almost every single one of their friends that had died was there, including: Buffy's heart nearly gave out, Riley. Willow leapt to her feet and summoned a fireball in her hand and threw it at someone that Buffy and Faith couldn't see. It seemed that she missed by only a hair. Willow ran into the kitchen where her target had run to. Buffy and Faith ran into the kitchen. When Buffy got into the kitchen, she saw that it was Jesse that she was attacking. She had him cornered, and Faith ran beside her.
"Who is this clown?" Faith asked.
"This is my old friend, Jesse, he got turned into a vampire when Buffy first came here, and Xander had to kill him." Willow said
", and when I was sent here, I was sent as a human! Technically I've never even been a vampire! I got sent here when I was turned!" Jesse yelled
Tara, Ms. Calendar, and Kendra all came into the kitchen. Willow blasted a fireball at Jesse, but a shield suddenly appeared around him.
"Willow, he's telling the truth." Tara said
"Oh My God, Kendra! Ms. Calendar!" Buffy said and ran up and gave them both hugs "Who else is here?"
"There's Jesse, Me, Kendra, Riley, Tara, Jonathan, Amanda, Cassie, Anya, Riley, and (under her breath) Snider." Ms. Calendar said
"Okay, I've gathered that this is some sort of place for the afterlife, but what is this place?"
"This is the place where people go when they die and aren't ready to move on. Some people call it Limbo; some people call it the unfinished dimension." Tara said
"Is there any way out of here?" Buffy asked
"That's what we were trying to do when we accidently brought you here." Ms. Calendar said
"Okay, well maybe if all of us try pulling our powers together… we can make it home." Willow said
"Okay, we need to go get Jonathan, he's become really great at magic, and so has Ms. Calendar, and I think that I've improved a lot too." Tara said
They all went into the room with everyone else. When they got into the room they saw that Jonathan was sitting in the same magic circle that Tara was just in.
"Jonathan, what are you doing?" Willow asked
"He's just putting the magical protections around the house." Ms. Calendar answered for him
"Why does the house need to have protections around it?" Buffy asked
"Haven't you seen outside yet?" Ms. Calendar asked
Buffy, Willow, and Faith went towards the window and looked outside, it looked like hell. There were hundreds of people on the streets, all of them fighting; all of the cars were on fire and there was garbage all over the street.
"The gods intended for this to be a safe place, one where those of us who weren't ready to move on, didn't have to completely. Then, everybody figured that if they couldn't die, why be careful. It's sad really; all of the gods work in making this dimension, gone… like it never even mattered!" Tara said
"Don't worry, we're either going to change this world or leave it." Riley said
"I think I know how we might be able to get home." Willow said
"How?" everyone but Jonathan said
"Everything is the same in this world right?"
"Well, the same as anyone can remember it." Riley replied
"Okay, good, that means my plan might work. Now, with all of our powers combined, if we go to the Hellmouth, we can use the energy that's residing from it to fuel a portal spell, so that we can leave this place, not just enter." Willow said
"Willow… I've been here for 2 years and summoning you is the only thing I could do, you haven't even been here more than an hour and you might have found a way to get us all out of here! You're amazing Willow." Tara said, while leaning in for a kiss
"Tara, I don't know what we should do… I… I… I have a new g-g-g-g-girlfriend! And I don't know, I just don't know." Willow said while trying not to sob
Tara tried to give her a hug, but she ran up to Buffy's old room, sobbing.
