note...i would love reviews. they're my favorite! and oh yeah, don't forget about all that copyright stuff. :P

Seated in the office, Buffy and her friends stared nervously at the guns pointed at them. They waited for what seemed like an eternity when the door flew open. The soldiers saluted the woman as she walked in. "Lady Ann, these are the trespassers. We have done no interview yet, as you asked." The soldier said humbly.

"Thank you, that will be all. Leave." Lady Ann said, dismissing the soldiers with a wave of her hand.

Ann stared at the prisoners coldly. "Trespassing is illegal. Did you not see the signs? You are foolish. Foolishness is unacceptable in the real world. It's about time that criminals were taught a lesson. You will be punished according to the law." She glared at them.

Xander gulped. But before he could say anything the door flew open. A girl walked in.

"Lawbreakers, my favorite! And nobody told me? Who do we have today?" The girl looked at them. Buffy's mouth dropped open. Willow gasped. The girl was the new slayer they had seen in the graveyard. Before the girl could say anything more, Lady Ann broke in. "This doesn't concern you, Alex. Please leave."

"Honey, you can't order me around like your slave boys. Soon you'll be dealing with my lady soldiers. They don't like getting order around by the queen's spoiled daughter. So this does concern me. I am in a higher rank than you are. Sarah left me in charge and you know it. So scat!"

Lady Ann reddened, "My mother will hear of this!" She turned on her heels and left.

"So…What do we have here? Trespassers?" Alex shook her head and looked at Giles, "I can see a bunch of kids wanting to party somewhere…but mister…you're an adult. What were you thinking? Y'all picked the wrong place to have a party…"

"You're the new slayer!" Willow exclaimed.

"A rather vulgar term, but yes…hey wait a minute…how did you know that? Who are you?"

"Uh…Well I'm Buffy and these are my friends." Buffy said slowly.

"Buffy…Buffy…Why does that name ring a bell?" Alex asked, pondering.

A commotion outside interrupted Alex's thinking. The door opened and Jill entered. "Alex, the queen's back and she's not looking happy." More people entered. A woman and a man walked in. Buffy looked shocked.

"Angel! What are you doing here?" Buffy exclaimed.

"I could ask the same about you." Angel said, smiling.

"Angel, dear, would you introduce me to your friends?" the woman asked.

"Dear?" Buffy asked, sarcastically.

"Sarah, this Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Her friends, Willow, Xander, Anya, Spike, Tara, and Giles."

"Oh my! The Slayer! What a honor it is to meet you!" Sarah exclaimed.

"She's the vampire slayer you were talking about?" Alex asked, incredulous, "I thought she'd look more bad or something."

"Angel, what is going on?" Giles asked, impatiently.

"This is Alex, the Lady Champion of the Realm." Angel answered.

"The Realm? But that's just a fairy tale…" Giles trailed off.

"Obviously not." Alex snapped.

Outside a voice boomed, "Make way for the Queen! Make way for the Queen!" Then the door flew open. A large group of people poured into the room. Dressed magnificently, like a queen, the woman at the front of the group, glared at Alex.

"Your majesty." Alex said, bowing.

"Destiny Alexis Brimmer, you rudely addressed my daughter, the future queen. How dare you!" The queen yelled at Alex. "I do not care if you hold a higher rank, you will treat Lady Ann with respect. Do you understand? And as for your 'commando girls', they will obey me or they will be exiled from the Realm. Do you understand that? E-X-I-L-E."

"Your majesty, I believe your daughter misunderstood me. I only meant that I would be better qualified to handle this situation. Lady Ann was ready to turn these people over to the authorties. This is the slayer and her friends, they will make good allies. As for my women's army, we need as much help as we can get." Alex smiled, knowing that she had won the argument.

"I can vouch for their loyalty, your majesty." Angel added helpfully.

"Angel, I trust your wisdom. If you say they are loyal, then I say they are loyal. Sarah, we will discuss Alex's behavior at a later time. That will be all." The Queen nodded at them all and swept out of the room.
