Normal Again...Again

Summary: What would have happened if Buffy hadn't gone back to Sunnydale to save her friends? What if she had stayed in what she thought was real?

Disclaimer: Yes, I own it all...Yes, I am also a liar!

Chapter 11: Welcome Back to the Hellmouth

Meanwhile...Back in Sunnydale...

"She was right there. I don't understand." Trina turned and looked at the redheaded witch who was directly behind her.
"Maybe it was a trigger type thing. Maybe we shouldn't have let her see herself until we knew what would happen." Willow replied. She looked at the Slayer in front of her, then to the spot where the blonde Slayer had been. "I wonder where they went." The redhead wondered aloud.
Trina looked back at Angel who was also amazed, and had a sort of deer-in-the-headlights look. "That's it. I can't deal with this. I'm summoning my ex-boyfriend." The petite Slayer spun around and started out of the room and into the hallway. "I summon thee Belthazor, come to me—
"Whoa! Wait a minute, what are you doing?" Willow cut the Slayer off. The Slayer turned around and gave the witch an evil glare.
"You just got your friend back. Do you want to loose her again?" Trina asked, extremely annoyed. The witch sighed as a sign of defeat. "Belthazor I summon thee, Belthazor come to me." Trina finished. There was a flash of red light, but no one appeared. Trina looked up, no one was there, "Cole get your ass down here!" She yelled.
Seconds later a tall, dark, and handsome man dressed in all black appeared in front of Trina. He only saw Trina and smirked, "So soon? I didn't know you wanted me that bad."
"Don't flatter yourself Cole, I need your help." Trina told him.
He looked around and saw all the other people in the room and realized she wasn't lying. "What now?" He asked, then putting his hands on his hips.
"Buffy, she kinda disappeared again, but this time she was by herself. Only, not by herself." Trina tried to explain, but Cole just gave her a blank look. "There are two of her, it's a long story."
"Apparently." Cole nodded.
"There was this whole flash-y light thing going on, I think she jumped dimensions." Trina told him anxiously.
"I know a way to find her, I just need to shimmer somewhere to find a scrying crystal." Cole replied.
Willow stepped forward, "I've got one of those, I wasn't sure how to use it, so, I've been using it as a paperweight." She said. She disappeared in her room, then came back out a few seconds later with a crystal attached to a brown cord in her left hand.
"Trina, could you?" Cole asked, as Willow handed the crystal to her. The Slayer nodded and accepted the crystal, Cole bent down to the floor and smoothed his hands making a clear-ish-blue multi-dimension map appear. Trina got down on her knees and held the cord at the end opposite of the crystal and began swinging it gently over the map.
"So that's how you work it." Willow mumbled, Xander looked at this friend and gave her a weak smile.
The crystal dropped halfway through the map, and somewhere near the top. Cole looked at the spot intently for a moment then removed his hands from the floor causing the map to disappear and the crystal to fall. Trina looked up at Cole. "Let's go."
She got up and stepped up to him and linked her left arm with his right and Cole shimmered and he and Trina disappeared. "Now that was kinda awesome... Where were they gong?" Xander asked.
"I guess they know where Buffy is." Willow answered.
Xander was about to say something else when Cole and Trina came flying back to the spot they had vanished from, landing in a heap on top of each other. Cole sat up and shook his head. "I've never been blocked before." He said, sounding astonished.
"Someone doesn't want us there..." Trina said worriedly.

Cordelia stood before the beaten and worn blonde, "Congratulations." She smiled. "You're one again. Life's gonna get a little confusing, but you can handle it." She assured the Slayer. She began to walk off, but was stopped by Buffy's voice.
"Uh, Cordelia, how do I get home?" She asked.
Cordy smiled, "Oh sorry." She snapped her fingers and the petite blonde Slayer magically appeared in her bedroom back in Sunnydale.
"Holy hell!" Trina exclaimed, shocked at her friend's appearance. The dark haired Slayer's yell caused everyone, except for Cole (who was still in the room with Trina) , to come running back into the bedroom.
"Buffy! You're you! And all one person!" Willow sheriked, loosing her usual calm nature and hugging her friend.
"Hey Wills." Buffy smiled, returning the hug.
"So you remember everything?" Trina asked.
Buffy nodded, "It's like I lived two loves, and I remember both of them." She explained.
"So," Trina looked at the other Slayer, "What now?"
