"Hello?"

"Hey, kid. How's it goin'?"

As soon as she heard 'kid' come out from the other end, Buffy didn't even have to ask who it was.

"Whistler. Explain," she replied with a dangerous edge in her voice. To any regular person, it would just seem like she was pissed off and nothing more. But to the vampires, they new what was in her voice, the beginning of a threat. It seemed to her that it was only appropriate that he be the one to give her the bad news. It seemed like it was always him when it came to the delivering of bad news for her from the Powers That Be. My, how she was starting to dislike him because of it.

A sigh could be heard on the other end. "Well do you want to do this over the phone or face to face? I for one, opt for the phone." Whistler wasn't stupid. He knew what would happen when he told her that she and Spike would be stuck in the past for a while. He wanted to be as far away from her when it happened as possible. Buffy was not the slayer to piss off.

"Yeah? Well I'm all for the latter." Not a moment later the line went dead.

"Well," asked Spike, "what happened?"

Buffy looked over to see Spike standing on the opposite side of the room as Angelus, Darla, Drusilla, and his younger self. She hoped that Whistler brought some good news with him, if not only for her sanity, but for Spike's.

"I don't know. I told him that I didn't want to talk about it on the phone so he's coming here."

Spike seemed to accept her explanation and crossed the room to stand beside her. He didn't know how long they were going to be here, or why for that reason, but whatever it was, Spike wasn't about to let go of Buffy. He knew what the four vampires all together were capable of and although she knew as well, he wasn't about to give Angelus the chance to harm her. He knew she would and could defend herself against him, but again, he didn't want to take the chance.

"Well who is this bloke, and when's he coming?"

"Relax, he's a representative of the Powers That Be and he'll be here in a second."

10 seconds later, he was walking though the front doors, sun light streaming behind him. When he forgot to close the door immediately he heard 3 growls flood the room.

"Oh sorry," he said sheepishly.

He walked straight up to Buffy and put his hands in the air as if she was holding a gun to his head.

"First of all, I have to say, I'm just the messenger."

"Yeah, yeah, I get it, don't shoot the messenger. Fine, I agree." The she muttered,"There's no saying he wont though," gesturing towards Spike.

"Damn. Ok, well, as long as its not both of you, I'm good. So here's what's going on. Tonight, when you and Spike were *patrolling*," he then lowered his voice, "Don't forget, we see all."

Buffy blushed for a moment and Spike grinned. They both ushered him to continue.

"Well when you were both patrolling," a quick wink, " you backed into some kind of time travel portal that only opens every 175 years. Lucky for both of you, Buffy's a Slayer and since the present time needs her, you'll both only be here for a week. Two tops." With that said he disappeared before the slayer and vampire could say anything.

Now this had them thinking. One or two weeks in the past with a vampire they both despised? Oh the possibilities.
