Buffy spent a few minutes after Willow left lying on the bed.  Then she realized how late it was getting and knew that Giles would be upset with her.  She had barely walked across the room when everything started to spin.  She could feel a strange wind pulling at her.  "What is happening?"  She screamed out just as she saw an intense bright light blind her, then everything was darkness.

            When Buffy woke up, she was confused and dazed.  She looked around wondering where she had been when she blacked out and hoped that something would look familiar.  However, nothing was familiar to her at all.  There was a picture of fairies on the far wall.  There were also containers of things all over the room, but Buffy did not recognize the room at all.  She shrugged her head to try to clear out the cobwebs and try to remember where she was.  All she could remember was a bright light and then blackness.  A shuffle in the corner informed her that she was not alone.  "Who's there?" she called out.  No answer.  She tried to get up, but she was too dizzy.  "Don't move.  Stay still." Came a voice from the corner.  "Who's there?" She repeated.  "Who are you?"  Then a figure emerged from the shadows.  It was a girl with blond hair and an almond shaped face.  Buffy squinted her eyes trying to remember why this girl looked familiar to her.  Then she remembered her friends and their friends.  "Tara? Is that you?"

"How did you know my name?" Tara gasped.  "Who are you?"

Buffy wasn't sure she was hearing things right.  Why would Tara not recognize her?  "Its me, Buffy.  Where's Willow?"

"Willow? Why should I know where Willow is?  She's probably down at the library with all her dorky friends.  Waitaminute! How do you know who I am and how do you know Willow?  Are you working for Spike?  Did he send you here to stop me?"

Buffy was starting to get that weird feeling like there were some things that were just not right.

"I told you before.  It's me, Buffy.  Remember me, the slayer girl? Why the heck would I want to work for Spike?  The only reason I haven't staked his sorry butt is with the chip he's harmless, and it would be giving him what he wants for me to put him out of his misery.  Now tell me what the blazes is going on."

However, Tara had jumped away from Buffy when she told her she was a slayer and had started dialing numbers.  "Angela, where are you?"  She cried out when the other end did not pick up.  "I'll call Giles." Tara remarked.  Buffy's eyes lit up at Giles' name.  "Yes, yes, get Giles.  He can tell me why you are acting so loopy. Who's Angela?"

Tara ignored Buffy as she dialed Giles' number. 

"Hello? Giles?  Is Angela there with you? No?  No, I haven't seen her, and she's not at home.  Um, look, Giles can you come over right away?  It's important. Thank you, Giles."  Tara hung up the phone and turned to stare at the stranger who showed up out of nowhere.  "Okay, look.  You just stay right there.  Someone's coming that will know what to do here.  Just stay right over there."  Buffy was starting to get scared.  Something was very wrong.  She didn't know why Tara was acting so strange, and she did not like this feeling.  Get it together, Girl, She told herself.  She knew that Giles would be able to tell her what was going on, so she did just as Tara asked her to.  About twenty minutes later, there was a knock at the door.  Tara opened it, but when Giles walked in, buffy's eyes went wide.  Giles was wearing some type of leather armor.  He was also carrying a handgun attached to his belt.  "Giles, why are you dressed like that?"

            Giles looked at Buffy intensely.  He studied her for a few minutes, and then he pulled out a square metal device and moved the device up and down in front of her.  After a few more minutes of studying the device, Giles took off his glasses and declared.  "Well, she's not an demon or any other creature of the night.  My detector proves that she is fully human.  Plus there is some kind of temporal energy surrounding her."

Buffy took everything that was going on around her in stride.  She wondered if this was a practical joke someone decided to play on her, but something about this world was not sitting right with her.  When Giles announced that she was carrying temporal energy.  She realized.  This was not her world.  She was somewhere else altogether.  It was more than she was able to handle at the moment.  Blackness surrounded her as Buffy fainted.
