The End and Beginning
Ch 4

( A.N.: Thanks to everyone whose reviewed, and Tobert especially letme
explain, usually I put t he name of the person that's talking in the
the answer the other person is giving. So see it's not really that hard
to understand. I just really hate having so and so says all over
the story so I do it this way sorry to confuse, I do understand it
though. To everyone else thank you with a kiss from Spike.)

Everyone walks into the conference room; the A.I. team goes and sits at the very large, and long, oak table. The Scooby's look around and let out a collective "Wow!" "This place is huge." "Yeah, Dawn, that's what we all thought when we first came in here, this is the largest room in the building, and it looks like we really did need it, huh?"

Now that Angel has pointed it out, the A.I.team looks around at all the people in the room.

"Good, God Buffy! Where did all of these girls come from?" "Well, Wes, They were potential Slayers, now they're Slayers." "But how?" Buffy tells him about the spell Willow cast to activate all of the potentials. "Yeah, she looked like a goddess, all glowy with the white hair." Blurts Kennedy, with a wistful look on her face. (A.N. Sorry, I had to give her at least one line, there might be more, if she has anything more useful to say in this li'l tale o' mine.) Everyone just looks at her like she's nuts.

"Anyway Wes that's how and what they are." Buffy says.

"That's incredible." He whispers. "Unbelievable really." "Yes, it really is, Wes. But true none the less" States Giles in a matter of fact tone.

"So now every Potential in the world has been activated, and this is all of them?" "Not quiet all of them, there are still more we need to find. First things first, we need to get Spike back." Buffy says with her arms crossed over her chest, no hint of backing down from the task she has before her.

"Yes, yes of course Buffy, I'll get my research team right on it."

Buffy looks at Wes like he's grown more heads than he should have, and says, "You have a team to research? You don't have to do it yourself?"

"Yes Buffy, we have a team for everything around here. From research to scientific labs." "Oh wow! Can I see the labs?" " Of course Willow I'll have someone show you around later." "Cool, thanks Angel" " Oh, I'll show her" Fred ekes out. "That'll be nice of Fred." Says Angel. "Oh it's no problem, I like Willow." She says shyly.

"What do we do until it's time for this thing to go down?" "Well you could take a tour of our new establishment." "That would be really cool, Angel, thanks." "No need to thank me, Buff, just thought you'd want to see the floor with weapons and all." " Oh, weapons, where?" "Once a Slayer, always a Slayer." Xander says. "But I wouldn't mind seeing that myself." The other Slayers start talking about seeing them also.

Faith runs saying. "What did I miss?" (A.N. Didn't think I was gonna have her in this did'ya?) "Faith where have you been?" "I was asleep in the back of the bus, when this weird guy came to get this, Giles." She hands him the duffle full o' Spike, and says," What's I that thing? It's like major heavy." "Spike." Andrew Says. "Spike, but he's ashes on the Hellmouth, now." "No, his ashes are in the Ziplocs in that duffle." "Ooookay, I did miss something didn't I? And what the hell?

"I went back and gathered up everything we might need or want, Faith. I figured Spike was the most wanted and needed, so I sorta swept him into the Ziplocs in the duffle, along with some weapons, the amulet, and Spikes duster."(A.N. Did you think I'd actually let the Duster dust, not hardly. Not when I wanna be the Duster.) "Spikes duster! He was wearing it, it didn't go poof, how?" Buffy says surprised and runs to the duffle, opening it. She see's that yes the duster is laying on right there on top. She picks it up, putting it on, and then turns around with tears in her eyes. "Thank you, Andrew." "That's how I found what was left, the duster was laying on top of him, along with the amulet."

"Spike was wearing the amulet, too. How come it didn't go poof?" I think the amulet is impervious to its own power." "Oh, thanks Angel, that explains the amulet, but what about the Duster? It's still here!" " I don't know the answer to that one, Buff."

"Well enough of this pondering, I say we go check out those weapons, Dead Boy mentioned, Buff." "Yeah sounds like a good plan, an." "Wait there's weapons now? I thought we were here to get Spike back?"

Okay that's the end of this chappy, and I would really like some help with the next one cause it's the one where they bring Spike back, without Buffy knowing, but I can't seem to figure out how to write it I have Chapter 6 ready to go, but I need Chapter 5 before I can have 6,so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Review or E-mail me to give suggestions on how I can do this, cause I'm totally at a loss.
