"I do hope Buffy gets here
soon. We don't have much time to prepare for this."
"Have no fear. The calvary is here. What's with the urgent, mysterious
phone calls Giles?"
Angel and Xander walked in behind her.
"Willow found some valuable information on the net. The Realm is going to
arrive sooner than we expected."
"How much sooner?"
"Ummm...W-well, tomorrow night."
"Ok, a little sooner than to my liking, but I guess we will just have to
start preparing and be as ready as we can. Pru and them should be here soon.
Xand...Will, why don't you guys call Cordelia and Oz. Looks like we are gonna
have an all nighter. You guys might have to miss some school
tomorrow...Sorry!"
"That's ok Buff! I have a history test tomorrow and I was hoping some big
evil, icky thin would get me out of it."
Buffy could always look to Xander for her comic relief.
"Well, at least someone's looking forward to it, because I'm surely not. I
wonder where Pru..."
"Hey everybody. Sorry we're late. What's the big rush on things. Buffy
sounded urgent on the phone," Piper said.
"Well, it looks like our visitors are going to arrive early...like tomorrow
night early."
"Ok, so what's the plan? Are we going in blind or are we gonna do a prep
session tonight?" Pheobe asked. Xander was hoping that he could be donut
guy because just looking at all the books on the library counter was
giving him a headache.
"Well, I was just telling Xander and Willow that we are probably going to
have to pull an all nighter to get prepared. Anyone wanna make a donut
run?"
"Here I am. Your ever valiant donut man...Hey that rhymed. Anyways, so
coffees all around and plenty of jellies...got the order right?"
"You got it donut man. Buffy, I think I just found some more info."
"Ok Will. Xander, you go ahead and go get the donuts and stuff. Pru, Piper,
Pheobe, Angel and I are gonna go out on patrol. You guys weapon up, Giles, I
need to talk to you. Willow, you go ahead and keep looking for
information."
Buffy followed Giles into his office, shutting the door behind them.
"Ok, Giles, I need to get an idea of what I, we, are going to be up against
tomorrow."
"Well, you know we have found quite a bit of information about the Realm,
but not everything."
"Just tell me what we know."
"Well, when the Realm opens, it is going to be a lot like when the
Hellmouth opened up. There are going to be many different types of
"monsters," and possibly some full blooded demons."
"What exactly do you mean by "full blooded?"
"Well," he cleared his throat," the demons we deal with daily
here on earth are known as half breeds. They have been tainted by humanity. The
demons that are going to come out of the Realms are going to be very different
to fight. They are going to come straight out of hell, so to speak."
"Ok, so, make a long story short, there are gonna be big boogie things and
I am gonna have to bust my bootie to kick theirs."
"It seems like you've got some what of a handle on the situation."
"Ok, well, guess we better hit the streets. We should be back in an hour or
two. I guess you guys just keep on researching, and save me a jelly."
"Be careful."
"Aren't I always."
Buffy walked out of the office with a smirk on her face.
"Angel." Buffy made a motion for him to come over to her.
"What's up?"
"Well, me, you , and Pheobe are gonna go out patrolling. Just try to get
some dusting done since we are gonna be busy tomorrow night."
Angel just shook his head.
"Well, I was talking to Giles and he was saying that we might be going up
against some fully blooded demons."
"You should be able to handle them. you fought the ones out of the
Hellmouth."
"Thanks for the encouragement. We better hit the streets. Grab some
weapons, toss me the crossbow."
Buffy walked over to the table
"Hey, Pheobe, me and Angel are going patrolling, you wanna come with?"
"Patrolling?"
"Meaning we go out and look for vamps, instead of having them sneak up on
us."
"Ok. Sure. Whatever."
Angel, Buffy, and Pheobe walked out of the Library.
"So, what exactly are we looking for?"
Oz had been wanting to ask that since the beginning of their research session,
which had started 3 hours ago.
"Well, we already know that the Realm should be opening in Restfield Cemetery. Just look for any helpful hints."
"Do you think Buffy and them will be Ok?" Willow always worried about
her friends.
"Well, considering tomorrow night is the opening of the Realm, there
shouldn't be too much activity."
Buffy was fighting 3 vamps while Angel was fighting 2 and Pheobe was giving
punches to 1.
"What is there a human buffet in town tonight?" Buffy was just
finishing off her second vamp.
"It's the opening of the Realm tomorrow night. Big supernatural stuff gets
the vamps all riled up." Angel finished off his last vamp and went to help
Pheobe. The three finished off all the vamps and kept going.
"So, Pheobe, do you guys only use your powers to fight demons and stuff, or
do you do spells and stuff to?"
"Yeah, we do spells. We usually have to do vanquishing spell a lot. I am
very good at writing them. Why?"
"I was just wondering if you could find a spell to bind the Realm. You
know, I think you and Will are gonna get along really well."
"Well, I think we've gotten as much action as we are gonna get tonight.
Let's start heading back."
The three began to make their way back to the Library.
"Oh, oh, I think I found something. Oh, never mind, it's just everything I
have already read for the millionth time." Xander slammed his book.
"Do I have to stay all night? You know some of us don't want to end up
looking like all of you. I need my beauty sleep."
"No Cordelia, you may go home. Thank you for helping us research as much as
you have. Will you be here tomorrow night?"
"Well, I guess I could come and help Buffy, you know I do owe her a couple
of times for saving my life. Count me in I guess."
"Hey, we're back. Find anything else?"
"Umm..No, not quite yet. How did patrol go?"
"Busy. Guess the Realm opening has the evil forces all agitated."
"Well, I guess grab a book and start researching."
Buffy turned to Angel.
"Hey, you are my fighting buddy tomorrow. I wanted to train for a little
while, feel like sparing? There are some mats in the gym."
"Sure. Lemme grab some sweats. Meet you there."
Angel flew across the room and landed hard on the mat.
"Uhh! Ow."
"Oh, sorry Angel. I didn't mean to hit you that hard."
Angel got to his feet.
"It's Ok, but now you will have to pay."
He gave Buffy a devilish grin. She knew he was joking. He always pulled his
punches when they sparred.
"Oh really?"
They started circling. Buffy made the first move and went for a round house kick
to his face, but Angel dodged it. He grabbed her leg and yanked her other leg
out from under her. He jumped on top of her and pinned her to the mat.
"Looks like you loose Slayer."
She leaned up and head butted him. He fell backwards and she got up.
"Don't be so sure, Vampire."
She pushed him in the chest with her boot and he fell backwards. She jumped on
top of him and pinned him to the mat.
"Looks like I win after all."
He grabbed her arms and pulled her down to him and kissed her.
"Your reward."
Buffy just smiled. She got up
and held her hand out to help him up. He got up and they ended her training with
a tae chi session.
Buffy and Angel walked into the Library to find everyone asleep. Buffy mouthed
to Angel,
"We shouldn't wake them."
He nodded. They walked back out in the hallway.
"It's almost sunrise. Why don't you go ahead and head back to the house, I
will meet you there. I just don't wanna risk having a pile of dust for a
boyfriend. "
"Ok, sounds like a plan. I guess I will see you in a little while. Be
careful. I am gonna run by the apartment and grab some of my weapons. "
"See you in a bit."
She kissed him softly. Angel turned and walked out the door. Buffy went back
into the Library and quietly got her stuff and headed home.
"Where's Buffy? It's 1:30, she should be home by now." Xander was
starring at his watch.
"You know Xander, if you put as much effort into researching as you do
worrying about Buffy, we would probably already know everything there is to know
about this Realm thing," Cordelia shot at him.
"Who went home and slept in their bed last night, while I, we, stayed here
and researched? Not me!"
Cordy stuck her tongue out at him. Buffy walked through the door carrying sacks
of food and drinks.
"Anyone hungry? Burgers all around."
"Buffy, where have you been? Do you know how worried we were?" Xander
was shaking his finger at her.
"You were the only one worrying, loser boy," Cordy said getting her
food.
"Relax, Xand. Angel and I were up late training. I slept past my alarm.
But, I come bearing food!"
"So are you guys ready for tonight?"
"Bring on the demons! Those guys are gonna wish they had never messed with
me...umm..well..Buffy! They are gonna wanna crawl back into their Realm."
"Ok, we now know Xander has a positive outlook on things? Willow? What
about you..how you holdin up?"
"Yeah. I was getting ready to make some scapulas. I was also thinking I
might help Pru and them do a protection spell."
"Sounds good."
Willow went over to the weapons cabinet and go the scapula ingredients out of
the bottom.
"Eww! Not the stinky stuff. Doesn't anything you people associate with,
well, besides me, smell like lavender or vanilla anymore?" Cordelia
scrunched her nose and made a bad face.
"Anyone heard from the witches? They haven't called my house, but I told
Angel if they did to tell them to call here. He is going to meet us here at
sunset."
"Yes, They are coming over at 3. They were headed to the magic shop to get
spell supplies." Giles walked out of his office.
"Oh, ok. I am gonna go train for a while. I'll be in the gym. Come get me
when they get here."
Buffy ran out of the Library towards the gym.
"Buffy sure is being Little Miss Train-A-Lot." Xander's mouth was full
of food and he sprayed little crumbs all over Cordelia.
"Do you think you could keep the food in your mouth instead of on my dress?
Nasty much."
Xander opened up his mouth and showed her all his chewed up food.
"Gross. Very mature Xander."
"Could you two please quit fighting for like 2 seconds? I am trying to concentrate." Willow rarely said anything about the couples constant
biquoring, but she was trying to concentrate on getting all the ingredients into
the scapulas.
"Chill Will. We'll be quiet."
Buffy had been training for the past 45 minutes. She wished she had someone to
spare with. But them that would probably just turn into a makout session. She
smiled at the thought. That wouldn't be so bad.
"Concentrate, Buffy." She began to kick the punching bag again.
"Anyone for a little
magic?"
"Oh, hello ladies. Xander, will you please go tell Buffy that the sisters
are here?"
"Sure thing G-man. Hello-o-o ladies. You're all looking very fine
today."
Giles cleared his throat.
"Right. Buffy. Witness me leaving."
Xander walked down the hallway toward the gym. He made sure to grab the Library
Pass so it didn't look like he was skipping class if he got caught. When he got to
the gym he watched Buffy for a minute. She moved like a snake. Very quick. Very
alert. Very deadly. She was kicking the punching bag so hard he thought it might
fall off the chain.
"Hey Buff, I think it's dead."
She turned to look at him.
"Cute. Very cute. What's up?"
"The sisters are here. Giles sent me on Buffy retrieval."
"Thanks Xander. Lemme grab a towel and I'll head back with you."
Xander and Buffy walked back into the library. They were confronted with a
really terrible smell.
"What died?"
"Sorry guys. We just started the protection spell."
"Well, it must be a good one because its really stinky and from my
experience, the worse it smells the better it is."
"They all laughed. They continued to research, and the sisters, along with
Willow completed the protection spell. They all stopped to take a break and go
get something to eat. They agreed to meet back at the Library at a little before
sunset.
Buffy quickly made her way home.
"Hi honey. I'm home!"
"Hey. Didn't expect you back so early...Uhh..what's that smell?"
"Oh, sorry, the little witchies were doing a protection spell...very
stinky! I gotta grab a shower though..we are meeting back up with the gang
at sunset. Could you fix me a sandwich while I go shower? Please?"
"Sure."
"You are sweet. Thanks! Back in a while."
Buffy ran upstairs. Angel couldn't believe how lucky he was.
The shower felt good since Buffy was all nasty from training. She threw on her
leather pants, a black baby T and her black boots. She grabbed the leather
jacket that Angel had given her a while back and pulled her hair back into a
pony tail. She grabbed her Slayer bag and began to fill it with the essentials.
She practically emptied her trunk.
Angel and Buffy made their way back to the Library in record time.
"Hey guys. Ready to rock n' roll?"
"I just wanna get this over with so I can go home." Cordelia was
sitting on the stairs filing her nails.
"Everyone take one of the scapulas. Phoebe added an extra ingredient to
make them a little more powerful."
"Hey! They don't smell bad. That's a plus." Buffy took hers and put it
around her neck.
"Well, me, Angel, and the little witches are gonna go with oz and Willow.
Xander, you and Cordy go with Giles or you can take Cordy's car."
"Yes, Ma'am!" Xander saluted Buffy.
"Cute. Let's go!"
The gang met at eh entrance to Restfield to find the weather getting bad. Strange
thing was, it was only getting bad over the cemetery. The rest of the sky was
clear.
"Well, looks like we've got the right place."
Buffy grabbed the sword she had brought along with 4 stakes and a cross and 2
bottles of holy water. Angel had the same, with the exception of the cross and
holey water. They had given the witches stakes, incase of vamps, but they would
mostly be using theirs powers and Pheobe was good at defending her self. Buffy
gave her friends free reign over her bag and they all loaded to with weapons.
They decided to head into Restfield, Buffy and Angel in the lead.
