"Where am I?" Buffy Summers wonders as she walks down cold stone steps with
sounds of screaming girls in the background. "I know this place..."
"Everybody out now!" Faith yells as she and several other slayers stampede close behind her up the steps.
Buffy knew where she was now. She continued down the steps only to see herself and Spike.
"Oh God..." Buffy whispers to herself in close to tears.
"I can feel it Buffy..." Spike said amazed.
"What?" said the other Buffy
"My soul... It's really there." Spike said still in shock. "Kind of stings."
Buffy stood there watching from the steps. She knew what would come up next.
"Go on then!" Spike said trying to get her to run before she went down with the Hellmouth.
"No! You've done enough. You could still..." But deep down, Buffy knew Spike wasn't going anywhere. She realized that now.
"No, you've beat them back. It's for me to do the cleanup."
More walls crumble down between them. But Buffy still stands there, with all her memories of that one moment flood back.
Faith is next to her, she is screaming for the other Buffy to hurry up.
"Gotta move lamb. I think it's fair to say school's out for bloody summer." Spike said.
"Spike!"
"I mean it! I gotta do this!" said Spike holding his hand up to stop her.
Buffy grabs Spike's hand as they burst into flame.
"I love you." Both Buffy's say as they cry knowing their love is lost. "No you don't" he says with a smile. "But thanks for saying it. Another earthquake shakes the crumbling Hellmouth breaking Buffy and Spike apart. That was her cue to go. "Now go!" yelled Spike. The other Buffy ran up the stairs. "I wanna see how it ends." Spike said to himself. "But then he turned around and looks straight at Buffy and said, "And believe me pet. This isn't the end." Then he bursts into flames.
"No!" Buffy yells as she feels violent shaking.
"Buffy! Buffy! Wake up!" Dawn yells in her big sisters face. "It was just a dream. You were having a bad dream"
"Right. It was just a dream." Buffy replied in a shaky voice.
"Mr. Giles, we're back!" announces Andrew as he and the 12 other slayers walk into the door downstairs.
"Oh, good Andrew. And I trust that you brought the Slayer along as well?"
"Uh huh, her name is Dana. She just killed a bunch of people though, so she might be a little on the offish side."
"Oh dear lord. What do you mean killed a bunch of people?" Giles demanded.
"Who killed a bunch of people?" said Buffy as she came into the room.
"Oh hey Buffy. Yeah, like she was kind of crazy, and tortured. But she's better now." said Andrew. "Dana, you can come in here and meet Mr. Giles."
Dana walked into the room still with a shocked look on her face.
"Welcome Dana, I'm Buffy, and this is my Watcher Giles. You can put all your stuff over in that room. I'll have Dawn show you where it is." said Buffy. "Hi, I'm Dawn." She said smiling at the new slayer.
"Giles, I need to talk to you for a minute. Alone." Buffy added looking at Andrew.
"Oh, okay that's cool, I'll just go and take that 48 hours of non sleep I haven't had." Andrew said.
"Buffy, what's wrong?" Giles asked sounding concerned.
"Nothing wrong, but. It's just that... Lately I've been having these... dreams." said Buffy.
"Dreams? What kind of dreams?"
"I've just been having all these dreams about Spike! All saying the same thing! He keeps telling me that it's not the end! Giles, is there a possibility that he could be, alive?" asked Buffy with hope in her voice.
"Well, I think..." Giles was cut off by Andrew's response.
"Oh yeah... that's what I forgot to tell you!"
"Andrew, this is really not a good time, and were you eavesdropping?" Buffy asked angrily.
"Well, duh. And it's a miracle! When I was in L.A. I saw Spike! He's with Angel!" Andrew spilled.
Buffy and Giles stare at him wide eyed in shock.
"Oops." Andrew said realizing he just confessed to Buffy what Spike didn't want her to know.
"Everybody out now!" Faith yells as she and several other slayers stampede close behind her up the steps.
Buffy knew where she was now. She continued down the steps only to see herself and Spike.
