Spike walked into the Magic Box, only to find absolute chaos.
"I don't care what your skank ass name is! You can't just walk in here with your perfect hair and your perfect face and your perfect violet eyes and try to run everything! And who the hell has violet eyes anyways?" Buffy was bitching at someone Spike had never seen.
The stranger with the long dark beautiful hair that was even shinier than Dawn's was staring calmly at Buffy. She nodded in a sympathetic way and said, "I understand that you feel threatened by my presence. After all, I'm not only a Slayer, but also your own Watcher's daughter, and you've been struggling without him but he immediately came running to be by my side. I don't blame you for feeling upset, and I'm sorry that I stepped on your toes by closing the Hellmouth forever."
As if possessed, Buffy's expression suddenly softened, and she walked over to hug the new girl.
"Mhyrree Sue, I'm sorry I was such a bitch. I could never stay angry with you. The way you closed the Hellmouth by singing that incantation was amazing. Giles doesn't even have that book, and even if he did, Willow's not doing magic and Tara's not powerful enough to do that spell, and no one here has a voice that beautiful anyways. I knew immediately that you were Giles' progeny when you said you enjoyed cross-referencing. I can't even imagine what you must have gone through being raised by vampires, werewolves and Richard Simmons. It's a miracle you were never turned, eaten, or forced to sweat to the oldies," Buffy said, smiling at the violet eyed, raven haired beauty.
Meanwhile, Giles was trying to get Willow and Tara to help do some research. Unfortunately, Willow and Tara were too busy making out with Darla and Drusilla. Spike had never seen four people sharing the same kiss, and he was quite captivated by the whole scene.
He walked over to Buffy, who ran up to him, hugged him and kissed him.
Spike was too shocked by the whole scene to notice how openly affectionate Buffy was. "Buffy, what are Darla and Drusilla doing here still alive and not staked? Why are those four making out? Together? All at once? And who is that girl? What the bloody hell is going on here?"
"Well, Darla and Drusilla came back asking for their souls. They had fallen in love with Willow and Tara and wanted to be with them. Tara tried to do the spell and she almost failed, but then Mhyrree Sue walked through the door and gave them their souls instantaneously. She's amazing. She already knows everyone in Sunnydale, and she's only been here for a few days. Everyone loves her. She has an MD/Ph.D. and she's only 17 years old! She closed the Hellmouth for us and everything. And she's Giles' daughter, from some long ago love. Isn't that just wonderful? I don't know why I was so short with her earlier. I don't know what came over me. Giles seems to think something is terribly wrong, but I think he's over reacting. I mean, what could possibly go wrong as long as we have Mhyrree Sue?"
Suddenly a huge demon crashed through the window, screaming and swinging a sword around. Everyone screamed in unison.
"Stand back everyone! I'll take care of this," Mhyrree Sue shouted as she quickly grabbed an axe and started singing out an incantation. She moved towards the demon, and fought him at an amazing speed. She managed to chop his head off, but not before she was viciously impaled on his sword.
As she fell to the ground, everyone burst into tears. Even Spike felt compelled to cry and he'd never even seen the girl before.
"Giles, how could this happen? She was so good and pure. I should have died, not her!" Buffy cried out as she wept over the fallen body of her fellow slayer.
"I'm afraid it's much more serious than I ever expected," Giles said in an unsteady voice as tears streamed down his face. "It seems the demon ruler Amilaki of the, the Horribus Fictitious dimension is trying to break into our reality. The world she rules is full of demons responsible for bad plots and horrible clichés and they're slowly coming through the dimensional rip. It's only a matter of time before the apocalypse comes in the form of thousands of bad storyline demons. We must close the portal before they make it through, otherwise I fear we will be helpless to stop it."
******************************
As Xander walked towards the Magic Box, he pondered his situation. On the one hand he was madly in love with Spike, but on the other hand he was Xander. One thing Xander knew was that the demon-hater inside him would fight against his heart. And the homophobic boy inside him was already feeling skitterish. It seemed Xander couldn't be with a monster, couldn't be with a man. He didn't know what to do with himself.
He resolved to ask Willow. She was gay, she'd know what to do. Besides, Willow was his best friend, even if he didn't really believe she was addicted to magic, or trust her not to use it, or care whether she kicked the habit for good or not. She was Willow, who used to be madly in love with him while he tortured her with stories of how he envisioned his life with Buffy. Willow who used to help him with math homework because she was madly in love with him and didn't see that he was using her for her knowledge of math. Willow who'd always been there to give his ego little boosts when he needed it. Willow who'd forgotten about her love for Xander and decided she was gay now; not bi, not even a tiny bit straight, but completely gay. She'd be able to help him out.
Xander figured that, at the very least, she could forget about Spellcaster's Anonymous for one moment and do a spell to help him get over it. After all, it can't always be about her, right?

"Giles, what should we do?" Buffy implored.
"As best as I can tell, we must either find Amilaki and stop her, or find the portal and close it, and of course, have sex with as many people as you can before the world ends. Yes, that sounds about right," Giles said, while cleaning his glasses.
"I'm worried Giles. I don't think I can do this," Buffy whined.
"Nonsense, Buffy. There are plenty of people here who are perfectly willing to have sex with you before the world ends," Giles said while cleaning his glasses.
"I meant finding the demon and her portal."
There was a beat of uncomfortable silence as everyone realized what Giles was thinking about and dealt with their respective mental images.
"Right. Of course you did. I will..um..do some, some research while you patrol. If you see anything out of place, let me know," Giles said while cleaning his glasses.
"Okay. I'll check in later then." Buffy grabbed Spike's hand and pulled him towards the door.
"Be careful Buffy. There's no telling what kind of scenarios you'll find yourself in with these types of demons on the loose," Giles called after her, while cleaning his glasses.
Buffy didn't hear him. She had other things on her mind.
