--Sunnydale--

Downtown Sunnydale was momentarily bathed in a blinding white light that disappeared as soon as it came, not even showing a sign that it was once there. In it's place stood a frightened William and a pissed off Red. Immediately Red began looking at and criticizing anything and everything.

"This place, it looks the same, but it is different. No danger. No human slaves. Everyone seems so... so... happy." She shuddered as she grabbed her William by the hand and began pulling him down the street. She glared at a passer-by who was staring at the odd couple. "And the colors are so bright."

William simply nodded as he silently took everything in. It had been a long time since he had been around humans. Ever since the Initiative put the chip in his head that disabled him from hurting demons, he had avoided humans as much as possible. The humans in his world saw him as a demon because of the chip. But now, now he was in a world where humans, not demons, where in control, and he didn't know how to act. If he acted too happy, that would anger his Red. So he settled for silently taking everything in. And it seemed to be working for a while.

"Willow! Spike?" Riley called after the couple, causing both of them to stop and spin around.

Instinctively, Riley initiatively took a step backwards, but when he saw it was indeed 'Spike and Willow' he walked over to them. "Hey, are you guys headed to the Scooby meeting, and Willow what are you wearing?" He looked the redhead up and down. Honestly, he was confused about why she was dressed in a leather corset.

"Willow." Red repeated. "You think me to be Willow, as well?" She asked cocking her head to the side.

Riley nervously took a step backwards before speaking. "Spike?" He breathed as he saw the tan and bruised man standing before him.

"Spike." Red thought on the word for a moment. "Why do you call him Spike?"

Riley took another step back. "That's his name."

Red shook her head. "Tell him your name, baby."

"William." William said softly as he attached himself to Red's side. He didn't like Riley. In his world, Riley was the vampire who caught him and sent him over to Maggie Walsh. He was the one who tried to feed off of him when Maggie wasn't looking. He was one of the soldiers that haunted William's dreams at night.

"Don't tell me a cat got your tongue, Riley." Red smirked at the now nervous ex-commando.

"What happened?" Riley asked nervously.

"You don't know?" Red asked surprised. "This is going to be more fun than I thought." She looked at William for a moment. "Let go, baby." She whispered softly to him. "I want you to watch."

William slowly nodded and let go of Red.

"What's going on here?" The ex-commando asked as he took another step backwards.

Red merely smirked again and looked around to make sure no one was around. When she was sure it was safe, she began to stalk closer to Riley. "You know, I never really liked you."

"Really?" Riley asked as he began moving backwards again.

The vampire nodded. "And now I get to show you how much." She said as she slipped into gameface.

"Willow. Who?" Riley asked as he stopped moving as stared at Red's gameface.

"You know exactly who, and stop calling me Willow." Red said before grabbing him by the shoulders and sinking her teeth into the soft flesh of his neck.

"Red." William whispered half-aroused and half-disturbed by what he saw. "You can't kill him. Not here. She'll come."

Sighing, Red dropped Riley to the ground. "You know, Will, I hate it when you're right." She said as she slipped back into her human façade.

"I know." He whispered.

"But I do know something better we can do." She replied sultrily as she walked back over to him. "Much better."

William smiled as he felt his Red pull him close to her and slip her tongue into his mouth. He moaned at the sensation of cool and hot.

"Now," Red said pulling away. "We have those much better things to do." With that the couple left and went deeper into down town Sunnydale.

Ten minutes later, Buffy and Xander were running through downtown Sunnydale looking for Red and William when Xander tripped over the immobile Riley.

"Ohmygod, Riley." Buffy breathed as she knelt down beside her boyfriend.

"Is he breathing?" Xander asked nervously.

"Barely. We have to get him to the hospital." Buffy said as she stood, cradling Riley in her arms.

"But Red and William-"

"Will still be here when he get him admitted." Buffy finished as she began walking towards the hospital, a reluctant Xander following her.
--Sunnyhell--

Meanwhile in Sunnyhell, Spike and Willow nervously stood in front of a large white house. Both were too nervous to go ring the doorbell. They weren't exactly sure what Drusilla's reaction would be like when she opened the door.

"You sure this is a good idea?" Willow asked for the umpteenth time.

Spike looked over at Willow. "You got any better ideas, love?"

"Well, no, but-"

"Then this is our only chance." Spike told her before taking a large unneeded breath. "Here goes nothing, pet. Stay here so she doesn't try to stake you."

Willow nodded as she watched her boyfriend walk to the front door and knock loudly. Within seconds the door swung open. The redhead watched silently, not certain of what was going on.

Spike waited somewhat nervously in front of the door, when it swung open to reveal Drusilla. She looked a lot different than his Dru had looked. She was very haggard looking and it appeared as though she hadn't slept in a few days. Her once beautiful and luscious hair was limp and lifeless. She was dressed in jeans and a dark red shirt, which looked foreign on her.

"William?" She breathed, unable to believe that her husband, whom she once thought was dead, was standing on the front porch.

Spike slowly nodded.

"Ohmygod, William!" Drusilla cried as she threw her arms around his neck. "I've missed you so much, love."

Willow felt a lump in her throat when she saw Drusilla hug Spike. 'He's mine.' Willow thought angrily as she stepped forward and out of the shadows.

Drusilla pulled away and gazed lovingly Spike. Just as she was about to invite him inside, she sensed movement. She turned to look and her breath caught in her throat as she saw who was standing near her. "You." She then turned to look at Spike. "She turned you. You've come to kill me." She made a dash for her door.

Spike reached out and grabbed Drusilla by the arm, stopping her. "Dru, I'm not your husband, I'm Spike. That's Willow. We need your help." Hew motioned for Willow to come over to them.

"Why should I help you?" Drusilla asked.

"Because he switched places with your husband." Willow said softly.

As Drusilla contemplated what they told her, the trio became aware of a loud rustling in the bushes. "Both of you inside now." She said in a frightened, yet strong voice.

"Dru?" Spike questioned.

"It's Angel. The only human without a soul."
