A/N- Some dialogue comes from other episodes. I will list them at the end of the chapters.
Summary- Right as the apocalypse is happening, Buffy is sent into another comatose by the Powers that Be. But why did they do it? And who can help her?
Doyle had caught up with Spike outside the library.
"C'mon" he said to Spike who still stood sort of dumbstruck in the middle of the crowding hallways "There is more to see"
Spike snapped out of his thoughts and caught up to Doyle who was walking out into the courtyard. Spike stood in the shadows away from the sunlight. Doyle turned back to see that Spike was no longer following him.
"Mate are you coming or not?" he said a little impatiently.
"Well you see being a vampire prevents me from paying visits to ol' Mr. Sun" Spike said sarcastically.
"That isn't a problem here" Doyle said with a chuckle and a glare from Spike "You see this is someone's mind, a memory, which means that the sun isn't real. So that means you being a vampire can step into the sun"
Spike was a little wary at first but from more reassuring from Doyle he stepped tentatively into the sun. The sun felt good against his skin. He was enjoying it so much that Doyle had to pull him out of his basking.
"I can already see some of that pale wearing away" Doyle said. Spike gave him another face and caught up with him.
"Where we goin' now?" Spike questioned. Doyle gestured to a fountain where a girl with long red hair sat with a lunch bag.
"Who is that?" he asked Doyle.
"You mean you don't recognize her?" Doyle asked him.
Spike looked at the redhead closer. She finally lifted her head as if looking for something.
"Bloody Hell, that's Red!" Spike said. Doyle just gave him a nod.
She was still looking for something. Me, he thought.
"How can she.?" He said to Doyle.
"The girl had power even back then, she just didn't know it" Doyle said still looking at Willow.
Spike watched as the blonde haired girl approached Red. They walked closer so he could hear their conversation.
"Uh, Hi! Willow, right?" Buffy said.
"Why? I-I mean, hi! Uh, did you want me to move?" Willow said to Buffy. Spike let out a little snort. Doyle gave him a strange look.
"If it's possible, Red seems even more timid then the first time I met her" Spike said. Doyle gave him a shrug.
"Why don't we start with, 'Hi, I'm Buffy,'" Buffy said. "and, uh, then let's segue directly into me asking you for a favor."
She sat down next to Willow. Spike was still amazed at how young they looked. Well being young that was probably why.
"It doesn't involve moving, but it does involve hanging out with me for a while." Buffy said with a smile on her face.
"But aren't you hanging out with Cordelia?" Willow asked.
"I can't do both?" Buffy questioned.
"Not legally" Willow said seriously. Both Spike and Doyle let out a little chuckle at that.
"Look, I really wanna get by here, new school, and... Cordelia's been really nice... to me... anyway, but, um, I kinda have this burning desire not to flunk all my classes, and I heard a rumor that you were the person to talk to if I wanted to get caught up." Buffy rambled on. They talked some more and Spike listened. Then two boys walked up to join them.
"Hey!" one of the boys said. He didn't recognize that voice and couldn't see their faces because they had their backs toward Spike and Doyle.
"You guys busy? Are we interrupting? We're interrupting."
Spike knew those ramblings. Xander. He should have guessed it.
Willow and Buffy each gave enthusiastic hi's. Spike was still staring curiously at the other black haired figure. Who was he? Some forgotten Scooby that had left them? Maybe he had never found out about Buffy and the other Scoobs had left him.
"Hey" the guy said to the girls.
"Buffy, this is Jesse and that's Xander" Willow said.
Jesse? He had never heard of any Jesse. He tuned out Xander's consistent ramblings and tried hard to think if any of the Scooby's had ever mentioned him. Nope, he thought, Never.
"Well" Jesse said "You know, we wanted to welcome ya, make ya feel at home,
unless you have a scary home"
"And to return this." Xander held up a stake, Spike wondered how he go that.
"How the hell did he get that?" Spike asked Doyle.
"Fell outta her bag" Doyle said matter of factly. "Oh" was all Spike said.
He watched as Buffy started trying to cover it up, something about self defense.
Doyle turned to Spike "Alright I think were done here" He grabbed Spike's arm and immediately Spike felt himself falling.
"What the hell are you doing?" Spike yelled at Doyle as a loud noise surrounded them.
"My job" Doyle yelled back. Spike looked at what he was falling through. It was a spiral, yes, but pictures played across it. He saw Buffy and Giles in the library and some more of Xander and Willow.
They then grounded to a halt in a dark alley. Doyle looked over to Spike who was leaning up against the wall trying to get his bearings.
"Yea can be rough the first couple times" he said nonchalantly.
"Well you could have warned me!" Spike said. But Doyle wasn't paying attention his gaze was on the girl who now walked through the alley.
She stopped walking and looked around. But for some reason he knew she wasn't looking for him. He felt it to a new presence was lurking in the shadows behind them. He saw her steal into another alley. He tried to keep up with her but she was too far ahead of him. So he leaned against the wall and waited for her to show up. That's when he saw him.
His sire had walked right into the alley that Spike now was standing in.
"Should have known he would show up in this story sooner or later" Spike mumbled.
"Yea" Doyle agreed. Spike looked over to see him standing right next to him. God this guy always came outta nowhere. He looked again over at his sire.
He saw Angel look for something, most likely Buffy, and that's when she caught Spike's eye. At first he thought it was just a star but when he looked closer he could tell they were Buffy's beautiful eyes.
Angel was standing right beneath her now as swung down from the pole she had perched herself on. She kicked him hard in the back. She stood above him with her boot on his chest.
"Ah, heh. Is there a problem, ma'am?" Angel said with a grin.
