Chapter Three
"Spike! If you drop her i'll....", Buffy trailed off she could hardly say she'd kill him, he was only six years old.
Looking down at her Spike grinned, "You'll what?"
Buffy frowned, "I'll...just don't do it okay? Be a good boy for a change"
Spike sighed and pulled Dawn back into his arms muttering, "She'll die anyway, once they all start coming"
"Once who start coming?", Buffy asked her frown increasing.
He looked solemnly at her for a moment and aswered quietly, "The bad people"
Sitting down at the bottom of the slide Buffy put her chin on her hands and muttered to herself, "Right, i'm supposed to figure that one out aren't i? This sucks, i'm sent here to figure out stuff and all i get are answers off of six years olds who talk too much about nothing"
On that last remark Buffy's vision went blurry and before she completely black out she murmered, "Oh no, not again"
The first thing Buffy noticed when she woke-up was the deep brown eyes looking at her intently, surprised she sat up and shoved the person away, "Okay, that's creepy"
"Sorry, you were just taking long to wake-up", answered a familar voice.
"Ford?", smiling Buffy took his offered hand and stood-up, "Finally someone i can figure out, unless you revert back to the kind of guy you were when we last met"
"Not a chance of that happening Summers, i ended up not going to Hell for some reason. I'm on the straight & narrow now ", he answered smiling before leading her over to a bench.
"Hey! Hey, i know this place", looking around to make sure she continued grinning, "Hemery High, how i've missed you"
Ford snorted, "Well i certainly haven't"
"Oh come on, we like grew-up here, don't you miss it even a little?", Buffy asked sceptically.
Ford shrugged, "I guess so but that's not why we're here"
"Then why are we?", Buffy asked impatiently.
Standing up Ford took Buffy's hand, "To show you what your life was like without Dawn"
