Chapter 5: When Worlds Collide
"Trina! Trina!" Buffy yelled banging on her best friend's door.
"What the hell Buffy?" A sleepy Royce walked out of his room at all the noise Buffy was making.
"I need to talk to Trina and she won't get up." Buffy told him.
"Good God it's 3 o' clock in the morning and you need to talk to her now?" Royce looked at her in confusion.
"Um yeah." Buffy said quietly.
"TRINA!" Royce hollered banging on the door as loud as he could. "BABY GIRL WAKE UP!" He continued, still banging on the door. "I have an idea." Royce said. He stopped beating on the door and walked over to the phone beside the couch. He dialed Trina's cell phone number, He couldn't hear it ringing in her room.
"Maybe it's turned off." Buffy suggested.
"I've known her since we were freshmen in high school and her phone is NEVER off." Royce replied. He hung up and threw the phone back on the couch. "TRINA ARIANA GUNN GET OUT HERE!" He screamed as loud as he could, but still no reply. He sighed loudly and looked at Buffy, "Do you have a hair pin?" He asked. Buffy nodded, she disappeared into her room for a moment then returned with a black pin. She handed it to Royce and he stuck in Trina's lock on her door.
After a moment of twists and turns the door unlocked and Buffy followed Royce in. "Oh. My. God." Buffy breathed, she wasn't expecting this. Trina's window was open, he pajamas were on her bed and the bed was still perfectly made.
Royce ran over to the window and stuck his head out, he didn't see her. "Buffy," He began, the petite blond was still standing in the doorway of the room in shock. "You okay?" He took a step toward her.
She blinked and jumped back a little, "Yeah sorry just kinda spaced out." She told him. "What do we do?" She asked her friend.
"I think we should wake Chuck up and tell him, maybe he knows something." Royce said, thinking aloud. He walked out of his girlfriend's room and knocked on Chuck's door, it was already unlocked so Royce twisted the knob and opened it. The state of Chuck's room was similar to Trina's the window was open, his sweatpants that he slept in were in the floor and his bed was a mess.
"Chuck?" Buffy looked around the room knowing he wasn't in there. "What do we do?" Buffy's voice became quiet again.
~~~~
"Are you sure this doesn't seem like a great idea?" Trina was growing restless, Angel, Chuck, and Trina had been talking to Willow on speakerphone for a long time. "Cause seriously, do you want us to do this to her just so you all can see her again? Look Willow, I'm not trying to bash your judgment but are you sure you aren't just telling me this because it's what you wanna do?" Trina paced across Angel's office.
"Trina I understand what you are saying but I think we do deserve to see her at least. I do think she should be introduced to things she is used too." Willow's voice rang out through the speakerphone.
"Willow I kinda think that Trina has a point." Angel said as he leaned back in his big leather chair. "I'm not saying you don't but are you sure that this is what we should do?"
"Hey, Trina, you missed a call." Chuck looked up at her from the chair he was sitting in. In the chair beside him sat Trina's cell phone and it had been blinking because of a missed call for the past half hour.
The Slayer sighed and picked it up and flipped it open. "It was Buffy." Her eyes darted from Chuck, to Angel then to the phone.
"Call her back." Chuck, Angel and Willow all said simultaneously.
Trina smiled and pressed redial and held the phone up next to her head. "Where the in the hell are you two?" Buffy's voice answered.
"Hi friend! Good to talk to you too!" Trina smiled sarcastically.
"We were about to call the police!" Buffy exclaimed.
"God no don't do that." Trina replied.
"Where are you? Are you okay?" Buffy questioned.
"Yes we are fine, we're with a very trusted friend. I need to talk to you Buffy." Trina explained.
"Well talk."
"Not now, in person."
"Okay where are you? I'll be there in a minute."
"NO!" Trina yelled. "Don't leave the house, I think that guy is still following me, and I don't want him to get you." Trina pleaded.
"What guy?" Angel ask Trina.
"Spi--" She cut herself off. "Him." She said in Angel's direction.
Buffy and Trina both heard a click and then came Royce's voice from another phone in their apartment. "Trina Gunn where the hell are you? Is Chuck with you?" He ask, not raising his voice at all.
"I'm with my brother, and yes Chuck is with me." She replied.
"It's three thirty and you just got up to go see your brother, now?" Royce asked.
"He needed my help." Trina replied shortly.
"With what?" Royce smirked.
"I hate you, why is it you know when I'm lying and no one else does?" Trina rolled her eyes.
"You know you love me, so your brother who is a damn good lawyer needed your help with something and you are majoring in Music and Dance?" Royce continued the questions.
"Do you know where Wolfram & Hart is?" Trina sighed.
"Yesssss." Royce smiled.
"You and Buffy get dressed and get yourselves down here. Tell the people at the front desk you are here to see Angel." Trina commanded.
"Bye Baby." He hung up.
Trina looked back up at Angel, "They're on their way." She said loud enough for Willow to hear.
~~~~
Trina was sitting back in a chair on Chuck's lap playing with the ringtones on her cell phone, Wesley and Gunn had entered the office. Wesley was standing by the door and Gunn was sitting beside Trina and Chuck. Angel looked really broody as he sat back in his chair still talking to Willow, he had taken her off speakerphone because Willow and Trina weren't getting along to well.
"I like the way you do that right thurr," Chuck and Trina sang along to the ringtone happily.
"Would you two be quiet?" Angel snapped.
"Maybe we should wait outside." Gunn suggested. Trina got what he was trying to say and she made Chuck stay in Angel's office and she and her twin went out to the main parking lot.
"What is it Charles?" She smiled pronouncing his name slowly.
"Look I know we trust Angel but you are kina the Slayer and I think you should follow your instinct. Whatever the deal is with this Buffy girl I think we should take it kinda slow." He said as the twins leaned up against the wall.
"Thanks Chuck." She smiled.
"Just keepin it real." He nodded as the two watched a blood red Mercedes speed into the parking lot. It parked in the space directly in front of the twins and a Royce and Buffy got out.
"What the hell is going on?" Royce put his hands on Trina's shoulders.
"Lets go upstairs." She said, she and her twin were followed by Buffy and Royce back up to Angel's office. "Look Buffy," She stopped them before entering the office. "Things are changing, fast and I don't want you to hate me for showing you this. But certain people think you need to know." Trina breathed, pushing open Angel's office door.
Angel stood, this was the 1st time he had seen her since Joyce died, but now she wasn't dead. Was she? Or wasn't she? Then reality hit, "Angel." Buffy breathed.
"You know my name?" He was surprised, he didn't expect her to know this.
"Trina told me." She replied, 'So he was expecting a different answer?' Buffy thought.
"Buffy, this is Angel, Fred, Wesley, you know my brother, the green guy is Lorne and the girl in the black pantsuit is, um who are you?" Trina introduced everyone to Buffy.
"Lilah Morgan." The girl smiled.
"Get out." Trina returned the fake smile that Lilah had given her. Lilah looked surprised, she usually took orders from no one. She glanced at Angel who nodded so she left.
"Why are we here at 4 'o clock in the morning?" Royce growled.
"We kinda got some explaining to do." Trina looked at him.
~~~~
"So there's two of me?" Buffy lowered her eyebrows, she could get everything Trina and Chuck had explained to her about vampires and Slayers but she didn't quite get how there could possibly be two of her.
"Well actually yeah, but the other one has been in a coma for two years. I don't really get it but it seems that there is a spell to bring you back together. The you sitting in front of me is a regular person who happens to have gone crazy for a few years, the you in Sunnydale is a Slayer who has been in a coma for the whole time you've been here in L.A., which is ever since you 'got out' of the nut house a couple years ago." Trina told her.
"So basically every thing I so called dreamed about really happened?" Buffy looked at her friend then at Wesley and Angel, knowing she had known them from somewhere.
"We think so." Trina replied. Buffy's eyes widened, everything she had thought was just a dream for six years, wasn't. It was all real.
