A/N: Well I finally have time to sit at my computer and write this out. This story has been on my mind for a while so I just have to add another chapter. Hope you enjoy it and tell me what you think…

Buffy was frantically searching for her phone and was failing miserably. Finally she managed to locate it in between the couch cushions but then she had a bit of a problem remembering the number she wanted to dial.

'Oh God…what was the number…think Buffy think…011-44-1606-739232…yes that's it…someone better be up!'

Ring…ring…ring. Buffy was beginning to give up, thinking she may have just dreamt up the whole thing; until someone on the other end answered.

"Hello…hello? If this is your idea of a joke it isn't funny! I was asleep you know," the voice answered.

Buffy almost started crying, "D…Dawn? God is that really you?"

"Yeah…why wouldn't it be? Buffy what's wrong?" Dawn asked her older sister.

Buffy wiped her eyes; "It's nothing I just haven't talked to you in a while. Listen, I'm going to come up a visit for a while, I just wanted to tell someone so it wasn't a complete surprise. And don't even object at me coming over because I have some vacation time and I want to spend it with my family. Good Bye"

As Buffy went to pack, she had to wonder where Spike was; if he remembered the night they had shared.

"Did the world end yet? God why is it that super demons can never stay true to what they plan to do? Don't you agree Buffy?" Spike shot up in bed, "Buffy? Holy shit…I'm back at the counsel. What the hell is going on?"

Quickly Spike grabbed a pair of jeans and headed down stairs to see what was going on; he walked in on a meeting.

"Ah Spike…um good to see you have healed from your injuries, Angel hasn't had such luck," Giles stated.

'what? Oh yeah the WRH apocalypse…we were all trashed when we got here'

Spike decided to put his thoughts on hold, "What exactly are we having a meeting about then Rupert?"

"We were just discussing some things about the slayers is all, you should get some rest," Dawn answered, obviously lying.

"Uh huh. Why do I feel as if I am back when you kicked Buffy out of her house and I just walked in? What were you really talking about?" Spike asked again.

Before any of them could speak a voice answered for them, "They were discussing me!"

Spike turned to see Buffy standing in the door way and did she look pissed; from behind him he heard Angel fall out of his chair and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Seems they didn't want me to come visit," Buffy announced, and then looked at Spike, "Have you told them anything yet?"

Spike shook his head that he hadn't but Buffy was just relieved he knew what she was talking about; the others, however, didn't know.

"Buffy, we are happy to see you but why are you here? And how did you know Spike was alive?" Willow hesitated to ask.

Buffy turned to her best friend, the one she had confided in since they met, and they one who knew she would cry herself to sleep at night because of Spike and she had never thought she could be angry at her but she was.

Buffy glared, causing Willow to step back, "How did I know he was alive? I think the better question would be why didn't you tell me he was alive? What makes you people think you can run my life and play with me as if I were toy? I am sick and tired of being left out of the loop because you want me to have a 'normal' life. Well I am THE slayer and I am here to tell you that I am not going away so like it or not I am fighting in this new apocalypse and I am taking over my command."

All the former Scooby gang and what few watchers they had stared at her in shock, none of them knew what to say. Finally Dawn stood from her chair and ran to hug her sister.

"Thank god you are back Buffy! I don't think I could have lasted much longer under Giles' rule," Dawn whispered.

Finally the two sisters separated and Buffy turned to look at her friends, "Now I have to tell you that I'm not exactly from this time. I don't know how it happened but last night I went to sleep on September first and woke up in June. I know that you are about to go up against the First and I know, thanks to Spike, that you are going to lose. What I don't know is how. I know there will be many casualties, including Dawn, and that the fate of the entire world rest on this fight…not that it hasn't before. On the morning of September 2nd the First will launch something that will destroy, or take over the world. Spike came to me to tell me this and to stay and die together…kinda hokey but also romantic."

The entire table looked at her as if she had just grown a new head.

"Buffy, are you sure you didn't just dream this all up? I mean it is possible," Giles stated.

Buffy nodded, "I thought of that too even thought Spike apparently had the same dream, that is why Angel is my proof," she walked to the surprised vamp, "Smell me."

Angel looked at her incredulously but tentatively sniffed the Slayer, what he smelled was not to his liking.

"She smells like Spike, there's no way that could have happened from her just standing next to him. She has to be telling the truth," Angel concluded.

Dawn looked at her sister's ex closely and could tell there was more to prove Buffy right but he wasn't saying.

Buffy backed up, "Good, now that I know I didn't dream it we can get down to business. What are your plans for attacking the First?"

"Those fools think they can defeat me. That is one annoying thing about humans, they never learn!" Buffy/First stated, "What do you think?"

"Mrs. Edith never much liked humans either…Daddy loved them though…thought they were tasty," Drusilla stated.

The First looked at her, "Well we will just have to teach them all a lesson wont we? As my new vessel you should be able to devour them all and bring back Angelus and the true Spike. Now I say we have a little rest before sundown, don't you?"

A/N: This is where I will leave it. My brain is seriously taped out and I can't think of anything else right now…as always please review and tell me what you think…would love to know where you all want this to go…till next chapter…
