A/N: I am so sorry this took so long to update. Classes started I got sick and then there is the whole theme house my friends and I are trying to start. Keep your fingers crossed we find out in a month or so if we are accepted. Now back to the story. We will now get to see the conversations between Xander and his Slayers.

Xander slowly walked into the first room unsure of who he was going to see, his Buffy or the one from the other world. Slowly he looked up to see the other Buffy. He again noticed the shorter hair and the broken look that appeared in her eyes. He watched as she flicked her eyes around the room as if looking for an escape.

"So---" his voice trailed off as he didn't know what to call her. Somehow all the nicknames he had did not fit her. Uncomfortable, he shifted his wait from foot to foot swaying slightly.

"They took Dawn away. About two weeks ago the trio you saw. I tried to stop them but my heart isn't in it anymore. I couldn't save her this time." As Buffy talked her voice kept rising as she began to pace around the room.

Xander took a step forward wanting to give her some comfort.

"She killed you. Anya did. Maybe not in the clinical sense but still, when she left you she took away all that was Xander. Don't make me go back there." Buffy pleaded as Skip opened the door moitioning for Xander to step out of the room.

Xander stepped out of the room more confused then ever. Buffy wanted him to kill her. His other self "dead." Silently he followed Skip down the hall to another room, unsure if what he wanted to do.

Entering the room he saw his Buffy leaning against the wall tears streaming down her face. Terrified Xander ran over and pulled her into his arms. "What's the matter Buff?"

"Do you know who I…the other me picked as a champion?"

"Not my wonderfully witty self I am sure." He teased trying to get a smile.

"Spike. He was in here talking to me. He said that he arranged this whole thing, the deal with death. He said that he loves me her to much. He can't let her suffer anymore. If you pick me the world that she lives in is changed. Dawn will be safe. He will give it all up for me to be happy."

Xander stood speechless trying to reconcile this picture if Spike to the one he knew. The one who stalked Buffy for a while and made a robot of her. He can still feel the gut wrenching pain as he remembered seeing Spike and the bot. He pulled her closer to him. "Remind me to bring some blood to his crypt when we get back." He was leaning in to kiss away her tears when Skip opened the door.
