Alternative ending:

Buffy walked around a graveyard. She had changed her red gown to a simple white slip dress. At least Eve hadn't made the hotel manager forget her; otherwise she would really be nothing. She would have nothing left not even shoes. She looked at the names on the gravestones and felt like one of the people that were named, she was just as dead as...

Buffy: Cordelia Chase

She read aloud the name. She had died. What no one had mentioned it! Buffy felt lost now. It was the last straw to see her old well not friend but ally dead. What had happened to her life? Buffy sat by the headstone and a tear slowly rolled down her cheek as a light rain started to fall. It was like heaven was crying.

Angel felt like something was missing, something important, but he couldn't figure out what. He knew that it had started in the elevator. So Angel decided to see an old friend. Maybe it would clear his mind, or maybe it would put him in an endless funk. Either way Angel needed to get out of here.

Angel walked into the cemetery and went straight for her spot (Cordelia's). He was about 100 feet away when slowly a woman became apparent.

Buffy didn't care if anything happened to her anymore. It's not like anyone would notice if she weren't here anyway. She stood and looked up. A man was staring down at her. The man changed into a vampire and pulled Buffy's neck towards his mouth. He sank his teeth into her without any resistance. It was like he knew she wouldn't fight him off. He quickly drained her as much as he could.

Angel seeing this scene quickly ran over and grabbed a stake out of a pocket in his long flowing coat. He proceeded to penetrate the vampire's heart. As the dust softly settled Buffy fell without any support. Angel knelt beside her.

Angel: Are you okay?

There was no answer so he checked the pulse on her neck avoiding the cuts. Sure enough she was alive but just barely. As he checked her pulse he noticed two older vampire bites. Angel touched one and felt a connection. It was his bite. He was sure; as sure as he was that he knew this girl. Although he couldn't remember her name or her scent. Angel picked her up in his arms and carried her to W&H.

Once there he took her to the medical facility and laid her down on one of the beds. He then went to get a doctor.

She didn't wake up for a while, maybe two hours. When she did she didn't know where she was, couldn't even remember how she had gotten there. The last thing she remembered was a vampire going into her throat. When had that been, how long had she laid here? Angel walked into the room.

Angel: your awake... how are you?

Buffy was startled at seeing Angel. This cleared a lot up though. She knew that if Angel was standing over her she was safe although she was probably at W&H. That place wasn't so safe.

Buffy: I'm fine

Buffy realized she had to leave immediately. If she stayed she might be remembered and thus causing the end of the world. She swung her legs around the bed.

Angel: where are you going?

Angel didn't want this girl to leave; she held answers to questions that he had since the girl in the elevator. This girl had the same smell as that one too.

Buffy ignored Angel's questions and stood up. She smoothed her white dress out and started to walk towards the door.

Angel: wait

Buffy would have left; she really would have but Angel's pleading voice stopped her.

Buffy: why

Angel: I need, I need...

Buffy: Answers

Angel: Yes

Buffy turned around and looked into his eyes. They were so confused and troubled but she had to go.

Buffy: I can't give you any.

She reached for the knob and walked out of the room. She found herself in a long hallway with an exit sign at the end (a perfect way to escape the questions). Angel trailed after her. She would get away he knew it; somehow could tell that he wasn't strong enough to stop her if she reached the door. She had recovered so fast from the bite and already had back at least most of her strength. What could he say to make her change her mind? He came up blank.

Then as Buffy reached the end of the hallway someone came from the sideways hall. Someone that Buffy had last seen in flames.

Buffy: Spike, you're alive?

Spike: yes. How did you know my name?

Buffy couldn't be talking to Spike. He was dead. Spike wasn't sure about this girl in front of him. Something told him she had secretes. Another tear rolled down her cheek. She quickly swiped it away with the back of her hand. She couldn't stand here and talk to them, it wouldn't be right. At least not yet. Spike looked at the girl a little bit cold hearted.

Spike: How do you know my name? (He repeated)

Buffy: (thinking fast) um your William the bloody, famous how could I forget.

Spike: Sure, then how did you know I was gone?

Buffy: um (her brain melted) um um I just heard it?

Spike: You see I don't believe that.

Angel: What do you know (he asked Buffy)

Buffy: I know nothing

Buffy had her back against the door and franticly searched for the knob.

Spike: not so fast

Spike grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the door. Buffy was fast and strong though and quickly dislodged his hand, resulting in Spike being throw to the floor. She then made a run for it. Angel helped Spike up and they ran outside to search for the girl.

Spike: she's a slayer

Angel: do you see her?

Spike: she's gone, too fast to catch up to now. You should'ave just ran after her.

Angel: Well sorry I helped you up. (After a few minuets of looking around) Doesn't matter she wouldn't have talked if she didn't want to anyway.

Spike: She knew something that we didn't

Angel: how do you figure that?

Spike: I could tell, felt like I knew her er something too.

Angel: I felt the same way. Do you think we will see her again?

Spike: I know it.

Angel: It feels so... so unfinished.
