"Where'd that lunatic General go? We have to put on the show." Said Roadblock.
Everyone started running around the base, trying to find the absentminded General Whithalf. Little did they know, he had roamed into Shipwreck's house.

If anyone had looked, they'd have seen a 5 foot 4, graying man. He was humming the Animaniacs tune to himself while he waddled through a house that looked like it was in a constant state of repairs. In his fumbling, he accidentally pressed a hidden switch that nobody should have ever been able to find. A section of the wall opened up, inside were a couple of watches. He picked one up.
Toad and Trinity were helping to look.
"Why don't we check Shipwreck's house? If nothing else, free food."
"Sounds good. Lead on your royal goofiness."
"Very funny." Toad grinned and they walked toward it. As they neared, they saw a flash.
"Not again!"

Spike was on his way back to the Magic Shop. He was walking by an abandoned building that had an old sign with the words "Paint for sale". As he did, he heard the snarls of a few vampires. "Well, looks like I'll get to fight after all." He started forward.
"What the...!" he exclaimed, watching a gray haired man waddle out of the building. As he walked away, a vampire's foot appeared. Then the building exploded.
"BLOODY HELL!" Spike yelled, as he flew through the clothing store across the street. When he came to a few minutes later, the short man was nowhere to be seen. As for Spike, he had somehow wound up wearing a wedding dress over his clothes. He started cussing.
- - - - - - -
The door to the shop opened. Everyone turned and stared in shock. A singed Spike walked in, with a bonnet of all things sitting haphazardly on his head. "What, haven't you ever seen a hat?" As he spoke, a glow appeared, and four figures fell out.
"BLOODY HELL!" Spike yelled, as Toad landed on him.
Buffy smacked her head. Giles who had walked out at the sound of Spike's voice, turned around and walked back to the back room and locked the door. Willow and Xander said "NUTS!" in unison, as they tried and failed to follow him.
"So basically, an absentminded General with a tendency to enjoy seeing how things explode, is roaming loose. Right?" Buffy asked.
Toad scratched his head. "Fraid so. We do kind of need him back at base. He's supposed to be giving some kind of speech in a couple of hours."
Buffy sighed and Xander groaned. Willow hastily performed a sleep spell on herself. They left her with Giles and Anya.

A couple of vampires noticed a short man coming toward them. They grinned toward each other and walked forward. As they did, he took out a couple of things. "Now... what are these?" He looked up and noticed the vampires. "Excuse me, could you hold these for a minute? I need to check something."
Next thing they knew the vampires were following him around, with the items in hand, and they had no idea how they got there.
"Ah, here we are." He grabbed the items, and inserted them in something he had taken out of his pocket. They stared at the contraption, then their eyes widened. The General as he was known, was already walking down the street. Behind him, a bright light followed by a concussive sound appeared. The vampires were never seen again.

Buffy, Spike, Xander, and the goofballs as she was starting to call the four visitors stopped at a blackened area.
"This smells familiar." Spike said.
Xander thought. "Isn't this what a phosphorus grenade, or bomb does?"
After walking for a couple minutes, they finally came to Willy's and walked in. The demons inside were cheering as a short gray haired man played the piano.
"General Whithalf!" yelled Trinity.
"Ah, girls. There you are. I found the most wonderful people!"
- - - - - --
Buffy groaned. Why her? Why here? Couldn't they bug Riley wherever he was?
"Couldn't you have at least warned me before destroying the building?" Spike yelled at Whithalf, who was fiddling with a piece of yarn he'd somehow found.
"What building?"
"THE ONE YOU DESTROYED YOU IDIOT!"
"I did?"
Spike smacked his head, and walked out of the shop.
Trinity and Toad grinned. "General, we have to get you back."
Whithalf blinked. "Ok. Is it drink time already?"
Toad looked at him oddly. "You're supposed to be giving a speech aren't you?"
"I am?"
Toad smacked his head.
"Well, it's been fun all!" Trinity yelled, as they pressed the button. And they all went home.
Spike went to Willys and trashed the 9 or so demons standing outside, just for general purposes.
