A/N- Everyone who reviewed is absolutely wonderful. Each time I got another review it motivated me to write more. Thanks. Also, thanks for the ideas of people and demons to bring back. I wouldn't have thought of some of them without your help.

Spike had spent the day trying to get rid of his unwanted houseguest. But Gachnar was a crafty little fear demon. Spike would throw him outside and a couple hours later find him sitting around his crypt again. He was like the cat that came back. Except far more annoying. Spike finally gave up with the setting of the sun and escaped his crypt.

He was heading off towards the Bronze where he could buy a nice strong drink. He hadn't gotten very far and was still in the graveyard when he sensed a Slayer nearby. She seemed to be following him. Spike stopped and smiled.

"Buffy... I didn't think you were the stalker type."

"I tink you're mistaken." Answered a voice that obviously didn't belong to Buffy. "I'm Kendra da vampire slayer, not Buffy."

Spike turned around to see the slayer Drusilla had killed over three years ago, standing by a stone statue. His face became a mixture of obvious bewilderment and uncertainty.

"What the hell" Spike muttered.

"What are you doing in Sunnydale Spike? I didn't tink you'd come back here after getting your arse kicked by two slayers. Or have you forgotten the deal you made with Buffy and me three years ago."

"Riiight" was all Spike could say.

"Maybe I need to refresh your memory." Kendra suddenly moved into her fighting stance.

Spike expression turned to worry. "Hey, hey. No fair. I'm on the good guy's side now. Practically a member of the Scooby gang."

Kendra didn't move. She looked sceptical.

"I can't hurt humans. There's this chip in my head. If I try to harm someone it gives me bloody awful headaches. Just ask Buffy, or Giles or someone. They'll tell you."

Kendra backed down. "I'm going to find Buffy to warn her dat a very dark power is rising in Sunnydale. If I find out you're lying to me, you will be dust." She walked past Spike.

As soon as she had left Spike started hurrying towards the Bronze. For some reason that strong drink seemed like an even better idea now.

Buffy ate her dinner of reheated pasta and then left the house. She told Dawn that she'd be home later tonight. Buffy hoped she would see one of her friends at the Bronze so she could discuss the weirdness. As long as they weren't like Giles and Dawn who both appeared oblivious. Buffy walked into the Bronze and scanned the room. She soon spotted Xander, Willow and another guy at a table. At first she didn't recognize him, but as she walked up to the table her memory supplied her with a name. Jesse. Jesse who was Xander and Willow's friend since they were little kids. Jesse who had died not long after she had come to Sunnydale. Jesse who was turned into a vampire because she had been too late to save him.

"Uh, Hi guys" Buffy said.

Jesse grinned at her. "Hey Buff, thought you said you couldn't make it tonight."

Buffy smiled back awkwardly. "Oh, well... um, you know the reason I said I couldn't come. That I must have told you. It's a funny story... "

Xander noticed Buffy was acting kind of weird. "Buffy, what's wrong?"

Buffy looked worried. "It's just been a really weird day."

Willow laughed. "That's just what Xander said before."

Buffy looked at Xander. 'Did he know something wacky was happening as well?' Xander looked back at Buffy. 'Maybe she knows what's going on.'

Buffy spoke first. "Hey Xand do you want to..."

"Let's go get..." Xander continued at the same time. They got up and walked over to the bar without even finishing their sentences.

Jesse and Willow looked confused.

"Well that was weird." Commented Jesse.

Buffy and Xander stood at the bar and bought some drinks. The need for drinks their excuse for their sudden departure. Buffy decided to be direct.

"When I woke up this morning I found my Mom in the kitchen." Buffy stated.

Xander looked at her bewildered. "But your Mom's..."

"Dead." Buffy added quietly. "I know. Shouldn't Jesse be..."

"Dead as well" Xander finished for her. "Willow doesn't seem to notice."

Buffy nodded. "Neither does Dawn or Giles."

"Great there goes my plan."

"Huh? What plan?"

"Run to Giles for answers."

"Well at least we both can't be crazy."

Spike had arrived at the back door of the Bronze. He was about to go in when a figure stepped out of the shadows and front of the doorway. Instantly Spike recognised him as Norman Pfister, a member of the Order of Taraka. Spike groaned. "Not again."

Norman Pfister smiled. "Spike, just the man I was looking for."

Spike gave in. "What the hell do you want?"

Mr Pfister looked worried. "Last thing I remember is attacking some of the slayers friends on behalf of you. Next thing I know I'm here and I believe it's many years later."

"You think?" Spike retorted sarcastically. "What do you want me to do about it?"

Norman Pfister advanced on Spike and before he knew what was happening he was pinned against the wall. "I hold you accountable for everything."

While pretending to struggle and muttering insults, Spike located a large loose metal pole with his free arm. He then used his strength to push the man off and swung the pole. The pole missed as Mr Pfister's upper body turned to maggots and worms.

"Buffy, Hi!"

Buffy turned around to see two guys smiling at her. One of them was holding a pool stick. They were both meant to be dead. Buffy attempted to smile back. "Hey Eddie. Forrest."

"Where were you today Buffy?" Eddie asked looking concerned.

"Huh?" was all Buffy could say.

Forrest slapped Eddie on the back. "Eddie here was worried when you didn't turn up for your psyc lecture."

"Oh." Buffy answered, finally understanding. "I must of forgot."

"That's okay." said Eddie. "You didn't miss anything really important. I'll even let you borrow my notes."

"What notes?" Forrest added joking. "I thought you said you slept through the lecture."

Eddie laughed. "Hey Buffy did you want to join us for a game of pool?"

"Your friend can join us too and we can play doubles." Forrest said indicating to Xander.

"Uh, maybe some other time" Buffy replied smiling.

A/N- Think of how many guy friends Xander could have if they weren't all dead. Poor Xander.

Kuzui: Yep, its set early season six. Spike and Buffy haven't even kissed yet. At the moment the general plot idea is that any demons can be brought back to life and any humans can be brought back so its like they never died (But without changing history too much e.g. it tries and fits them in). This is why vampires who have been dusted can be brought back like they were alive. Maybe when I get into the story a bit more I could add more effects to the spell and bring *alive* vampires back to life (like Spike and Angel).
