Author's Note: This is a work of fiction. I do not own the characters of Buffy and friends, I am just playing with them. They belong to Joss Whedon and Fox, blah blah. The characters of Cara, Natalie, James, Amy and the Lucys are based loosely on me and friends. No offence is meant. Season 5 may be spoiled for you if you have not seen it. Please r and r!
Chapter 4 - Getting Back To The Life Of The Better Half
I'm back in Giles' living room, and I'm sitting on the floor with Cara and Natalie. Cara is the first to speak.
"What I don't get is how come we never saw any mention of you in the show?" This had been playing on my mind too.
"Well its not like Buffy is a fly on the wall documentary. Maybe its just one of those, loosely based on a true story, and you weren't considered a 'ideal character' " Natalie suggests.
"Could be possible I suppose." The three of us just look at each other for a while, but I can't bring my self to say goodbye, because I will start crying. So I stand and walk over to my double. Willow has drawn a huge circle with a star on the floor, and there are candles everywhere. On each of the five points, stood Willow, Giles, Buffy, Xander and Riley. Watching us was Anya, Spike, Cara, Amy, James and Natalie.
"Are we ready to begin?" Giles asks me and my double. We look at each other and silently walk into the middle of the star. When we are both standing there, Willow starts to sprinkle dust on us, which looks remarkably like pixie dust. I glance over my shoulder and mouth goodbye to my friends. Giles begins to chant in Spanish. "Invitamos los alcoholes más allá de, para poner a la derecha qué fue mal. (We call upon the spirits past, to put right what went wrong.)" A strange wind enters the room.
"Los alcoholes más allá del mí le invito, a poner los pedazos detrás junto este demonio que el encanto hace que es no más largo dejó este encanto ser terminado. (The spirits past I call on you, to put the pieces back together. This demon spell make it be no longer. Let this spell be ended.)" Willow yells as the wind changes its colours until its a weird gold colour. Willow recites the spell again.
"It worked!" shouts Buffy, as I, whole again, collapses to the floor. The last thing I see is the gold wind entering my body.

I open my eyes to find myself on the floor, in a old church in LA. Before I have a chance to remember anything, a huge axe comes crashing towards me. I roll out the way just in time.
"You will not defeat me!" Toth is there, with his black robe, an axe and the ferula-gemina. I suddenly remember that I can't be hit with a blast from that rod again.
"Toth. Hey how you doing? You still stink. Have you not heard of a shower?" I can see my big bag of weapons that I used to carry with me, behind Toth. The only problem is I can't seem to get to it.
"I shall make you wish you were never born." His deep voice echoes throughout the church.
"Been there, done that. Haven't you got anything new up your sleeve?" I don't think he's noticed that I'm slowly edging away from him. He aims the ferula-gemina at me, and I jump out the way and over his head, in a truly Jackie Chan move. The blast from the rod causes the pillar to crack. The whole church starts to shake. I pull out an axe from my bag and stand. "Hey Toth." I cry out. He turns towards me, with the rod facing the east of the building. I take the opportunity and I aim and throw my axe. It chops the rod in to two.
"No!" his voice is so loud it causes part of the roof to cave in on top of him. I can't stay to watch and as I run outside I can hear him yell, "I'll be back."
"Jeez, you could have thought of something original." I mutter under my breath. I turn to watch the whole church crumble to the ground, and as it does, I can feel my memories being erased, of Buffy, of my life in Cardiff, of the spell. I smile at the ruins and I turn and walk away. And thankfully, I have no idea where I'm going.
