Dawn sunk deeper into the couch as Tara got up to get something to drink. Dawn was dying to get to the Magic Box. There had been a new shipment of talismans in and with everyone so concerned about the evil Buffy that was in Sunnydale, they might not notice her taking anything.

She also wanted to see what her sister would be like if she was a vampire. She'd toyed with the idea. Then Buffy and Spike could be together forever... if her sister ever came around to her senses. She could be turned too, then they could be together like a family.

The phone began ringing. Dawn hopped up. "Yello?"

"Hey, Dawn, it's me." It was Buffy.

"Hey... how's baby-sitting evil you going?"

"She's gone. We don't know where she's at. Keep the door's and windows locked and shut, okay? Me and Spike will be there in a few minutes."

"Uh... sure." Dawn put the phone down.

"Who was that?" Tara asked, walking back in with two glasses and a bowl of chips.

"Buffy. Seems the other her got away."

Tara's eyes widened. "Creepy." She instinctively checked to see if the door was locked.

"I think it's kinda neat. I wish I could meet her."

Tara shook her head. "She'd not our Buffy. She tried to attack Willow."

"Still, she can't be all that bad, right?" There was a knock on the door.

"Don't get that." Tara tensed up.

"Buffy said they'd be coming..."

"And she has the key."

"Maybe it's Spike?"

There was a louder knock on the door, then it was kicked in. "Mom?" Buffy stepped in.

"Buffy?" Dawn gapped, wide-eyed at the slutty, vampire version of her sister.

"Where's my mom?"

Dawn looked down. "Mom died."

"Wh--?" Buffy pouted. "Who are you?"

"You don't know me? I'm Dawn. Your... Buffy's sister."

Buffy moved to her and toyed with her hair. "I wish I had a sister." There was such affection in her eyes, Dawn was surprised. Then her eyes narrowed and her vamp face came up.

Dawn panicked and backed away. She noticed Buffy wasn't looking at her. She was looking at Tara. "You." She growled and made a lunge for the witch.

"Back!" Tara raised a hand, making a barrier between Dawn, herself and Buffy. Buffy shoved violently against the invisible wall.

"I'll kill you, you bitch!" She shouted, grabbing a lamp and chucking it at Tara, effectively knocking her out. Buffy shrugged off Dawn's attempt to hold her back and jumped onto Tara, biting into her.

"Stop!" Dawn screamed. "Please... stop! She's a friend!"

Spike and Buffy ran in. Spike grabbed onto vampire Buffy's hair, yanking her away from Tara, holding a stake to her chest.

"S-she bit me." Tara said, holding a hand over her neck.

Buffy left to get the first aide kit.

"She's the one that sent me here!" Buffy yelled, turning pleading eyes to Spike. "I'm only giving her what she deserves."

"Maybe the witch did send you... but not this one." The stake still firmly pressed against her skin. Spike was growling. "She's one of the good-guys."

"All the more reason to kill her." Vampire Buffy grinned, letting her vamp face fade away and she relaxed. "I'm not gonna kill her... so put the freakin' stake away."

Buffy came back in and bandaged up Tara's wound. Dawn was staring wide-eyed at the whole scene, a small smile on her lips.

"She's mean." She giggled. "Like Buffy on P.M.S. 24-7." Both Buffy's glared at her. "Now that's just creepy."

Spike lowered his hand. Vampire Buffy grinned and muttered "sucker" as she lunged for Tara. Buffy kicked her in the face, sending her flying back into Spike.

Spike held on tightly to her arms as she fought to get to Tara. "Calm down." He ordered.

The fact that he was Spike, hers or not, and that he was giving her an ordered caused her to shrink into his embrace. "Sorry, Spikey." She pouted.

Buffy rolled her eyes. "I'm so sure you're sorry."

"I just wanna go home." She said, glaring at Tara. "Maybe since she sent me here... she can send me back?"

"I-I'm not that powerful a witch." Tara sank down.

"Willow's looking into it." Dawn offered.

"Who's Willow?" Vampire Buffy asked, ignoring the glare Buffy was giving her for being in Spike's arms.

"You don't have a Willow in your world?" Tara asked. "I must be happy there."

Dawn gapped at the cold tone Tara muttered the comment in.

Xander, Anya and Willow rushed in. "Hey guys..." Xander glanced at Vampire Buffy and shuddered.

Willow and Tara eyes locked for a second, then looked away. "We found a way to send her back... but... it's kinda..."

"Dangerous." Anya finished. "Willow has to go into that world and summon her back from there."

"But... why? Couldn't she do it from here? Like when we sent Vampire Willow away?"

"No... it's kind of complicated." Willow sighed. "See, vampire me was summoned from here... it's the same way with her." She looked over at Vampire Buffy. "It should be fine, really. The spell itself is simple. I should be in and out."

"Yeah... and you could get killed there." Vampire Buffy said. Then her eyes lit up. "Unless you found my Spike. He'd help you."

"You don't know that for sure." Xander said.

"He loves me." Buffy pouted. "Of course he'll help. He might try to kill you first... but if you explain..." She pulled the collar off her neck. "And give this to him. It was a gift from him. He'll know you're telling the truth then."

Willow took the collar. "So, I can do it... first thing after the sunsets tomorrow... since it's almost day now."

"Good. The soon the better..." Vampire Buffy squirmed away from Spike, crossing her arms around her chest. "I'm itching to go hunting."

Dawn made a face of disgust. All romantic thoughts of her sister being a vampire fled her mind.
