Chapter 3: What the...

"What the..." Gunn said confused as to how a girl (although very pretty was the girl) walked out

of thin air and as to who she was. "Buffy?" Cordelia gasped. Angel in a state of shock said,

"Buffy," which seemed to be the phrase of the day. "You can't be Buffy. She's...d...dead." "It's me

Angel." "How? Your...ya know." " I know. I was sent here. I'm a messenger for the Powers that

Be." "You're a messenger?" Fred asked.. "Then what's your message? "I'm still confused. Why

did a dead girl walk out of thin air and why's she workin for the powers?" Gunn piped in. Wesley

added, "Um...yes could you maybe explain" "I work for the Powers because they asked me to

. That's all I can say. Now, enough questions. There's no time. I can only stay for so long. Evil is

here and it's about to strike. You all need to avert this apocalypse for the sake of man kind. Start

preparing, if you don't start now you'll die. This is bad. Worse than ever. So stop it." With those

cryptic words Buffy walked backwards and started disappearing.



When she left Wesley said, "Well, that was most confusing." "Ya think?" Fred said her voice

dripping with sarcasm. "Buffy..." Angel whispered. Even though he love Cordelia now, part of him

would always love Buffy. Every one besides Cordy looked at him. She was feeling a number of

things, sad because she missed Buffy and to see her and have her be there one minute and gone the

next hurt her. She also felt hurt that Angel looked sad that Buffy was gone. And that meant he still

loved Buffy. She loved Angel now and knew that Buffy would only bring down her chances. She

felt sad more than hurt. She loved Angel but really missed Buffy, even if they were never really that

close.

"Are you okay Cordy?" Fred asked concerned. "Ya, I just miss her." Gunn then said, "From what

I here she was nice. And from what I saw hot too." "Gunn...please, try not to be so...blunt." Wesley

pleaded. "Well why should I?" "Because," Wes started but Angel interrupted, "Stop, please."

"Sorry." "Sorry." "Ok now what happened and why was Buffy here?" Angel asked. "Did you not

hear her Angelcakes? Doom's a knockin and your jumpin to get the door." Lorne or 'The Host'

said as he walked in. "Oh, and sorry I over heard her so I went to the window to listen. Didn't want

to break up your little reunion." "Hey Lorne, what's up?" Cordy, who just then seemed to snap

back to reality, said. "Apparently not you sweetheart. Did seein Buffy get ya down?" " Yeah, but

how do we prepare for an apocalypses when we don't know what it is and since when is Buff so

cryptic? Back in Sunnyhell that was Brood boy over here's job. I swear working for the PTB makes

you all cryptic." " Apparently not for you darlin." "Hey!" Cordy then said as an afterthought "Or

is it, "Ya!"!" "Depends on how you look at it." Wes explained. "Guys, kinda of track." Angel but

in. "Oh right Carry on." "So Lorne?" "Right, um, ok. I don't know much but I know it's bad"

"Duh." Cordelia mumbled under her breath. Lorne and Angel both shot her a look but the others

didn't hear her. " You guys can't handle it without help" He finished. "Like what?' Gunn asked.

"We're a little short on heros. Oh, I think I know! Let's pull out you 'Champion Rolodex'!"

"Hardly, but I do know a spell." Lorne told him and the others. "A spell?" Fred questioned. "What

kind of spell?" "One that requires the PTB being called on by someone worthy. Someone like

Angel." "Ok. What do we do?" Angel inquired. "Simple Angelcakes, we call on the PTB and ask

them to send us to help. Then they send one of their messengers down to help. Oh, and there's some

herbs, some fire, some water, a cauldron, and a little chanting." "Isn't there always?"Cordy

mumbled under her breath once more. Then louder said, "Ok, so let's get what you guys will need."

Next Chapter "Help is Here": The Fang Gang call the PTB and friends come back once more.
