Chapter 6 I'm Not Buffy, Really! The girl's switch places and they begin to discover something's that start up conflicts.
Back in the states Xander and Joyce are having dinner without 'Elizabeth'. Joyce wonders what could be wrong with her daughter.
"Why don't I go check on her?" says Xander as he gets up from the table.
"Oh thank you Xander. See if you can get her down for some desert," says Joyce as she picks up the dishes from the table. Xander runs up the stairs and knocks on 'Elizabeth's' door.
"Buffy," Xander calls. "Are you alright?" He doesn't get a response and he tries to open the door. 'Elizabeth' inside is sitting on Buffy's bed and does not want Xander to come in. She was warned by Buffy to try to stay far away from him and he ends up following her home.
"Xander you should go," says 'Elizabeth'. She turns away from him trying not to look at him.
"Buffy why?" ask Xander. "What did I do wrong? Out of the blue you decide you want to see other people..."
"I do," says 'Elizabeth' with a slip of her British accent. Her eyes grow big. "I really wish that you would understand that I can't see you anymore."
"Is there someone else?" 'Elizabeth' pauses for a moment.
"No, I mean yes," says 'Elizabeth'. "Xander it's really none of your business."
"All right," says Xander bowing his head. "I just have one last thing to say."
"What?"
"I'll always love you Buffy," says Xander. "No matter what." He stays a moment at the doorway then walks off. As he walks down the hall he heard a distance whimper, but he ignored it and headed downstairs.
"So, did you get her to come down? I have no idea what's wrong with her."
"Sorry Ms. Summers. I gotta go."
"What about desert?"
"Thanks. I think you should go upstairs with your daughter," says Xander as he grabs his coat and opens the door. Joyce looks at him strangely and looks up the stairs. Xander leaves the Summers' residence as Joyce heads up the stairs and towards her daughter's room.
"Buffy," calls Joyce from the doorway of her room. She turns on the light and sees her daughter on her bed crying. "What's wrong?" She goes to her side and pulls her close. 'Elizabeth' looks at her mom straight in the eyes. That reminds Joyce of someone she knew long ago. She then hugs her mom really tight and cries on her shoulder.

In England, 'Buffy's' second day, she decides to explore. First she gets lost then one the maids help her. She told the maid that it's been so long since she's been there that she forgot where everything is.
'Buffy' enters Giles' study. There she sees a big painting of herself as child, but she knows it's really Elizabeth. She begins to search through some drawers. 'Buffy' has no idea what she looking for but somehow found something interesting.
Suddenly she hears her dad coming. She quickly takes the paper and stuffs it down her shirt and hides it. Into the room enters Giles and Glory, his fiance. Giles expalined everything to her the day that she came.

Flashback:
"Elizabeth meet Glory Benjamin." 'Buffy' was in shock that her father would find this woman attractive. "Elizabeth."
"Um, sorry. I...nice to meet you Ms. Benjamin." 'Buffy' goes over to shake her hand. She gives her a half smile and looks at her dad. Giles has never seen this face that his daughter made, but it looks to him fondly familiar.
"When you said she's all grown up you meant it Ripper," says Glory. "She's absolutely beautiful. Takes after you right." Giles laughs and Glory grabs his hand. 'Buffy' coughs loudly. Giles looks at 'Buffy'.
"I need something to drink," says 'Buffy'. One of the servants enters the room with tea. 'Buffy' grabs the teacup and passes the maid. She heads over to Giles' bar and pours herself a cup of scotch. Giles' eyes grew and he takes off his glasses.
"Elizabeth!" Giles is shock at his daughter drinking scotch like him. It also reminded him of someone else too. 'Buffy' looks at her dad, drinks a cup of scotch, and puts the cup down. "You never drink. Did you learn this habit in America?"
"Ah, yeah," says 'Buffy'. "I need to go now. I mean excuse me." 'Buffy' leaves the room as Anya enters the room.
"Is that scotch I smell on her?" ask Anya. Giles nods his head and looks at Glory.
"I'm terribly sorry about my daughter's behavior," says Giles. "She doesn't act like this."
"I'm sure she's an angel like you said Ripper," says Glory. "She just needs to adjust to her habitat where there is a new animal in the jungle."
"Yes, of course," says Giles.

Present time:
'Buffy' hides under her dads desk. Giles and Glory start to make out. 'Buffy' really wants to gag and rolls her eyes.
"Ripper I really like to get much closer to you," says Glory still kissing Giles on the lips. "I want you right now."
"Glory," says Giles. "I really would but I need to tell Elizabeth."
"Oh Ripper," Glory whined. She walks away and towards Giles' desk. She sits on the desk and lifts her leg up. Giles raises his eyes at the sight. "You have to tell her the truth somehow Ripper."
"I will tell her," says Giles. "Today we're going out to lunch. I tell her then."
"Then we can get to the real reason for this relationship," says Glory as she approaches Giles and kisses him on the lips. "Don't forget that." She walks out of the room leaving Giles to slump down on the sofa.
"So what do you want to tell me?" ask 'Buffy' coming out from under the desk. Giles almost jumps off the sofa.
"Elizabeth. What are you doing hiding behind my desk?"
"Are you engage with Glory?"
"Elizabeth please sit down," says Giles.
"No!" 'Buffy' shouts at Giles. "Tell me the truth."
"Why are you acting like this Elizabeth?" says Giles. "Is this what you learn from those American's. That's it you are not going back there."
"This has nothing to do with that!" says 'Buffy'. "This has everything to do with you. You are engage to that slute and you don't have the decency to tell me the truth!"
"Don't you dare blame this on me," says Giles. "I have every right to find someone. And how dare you call her a slute! That's the last straw Elizabeth."
"What is going on in here?" says Anya walking into the room coming between the two. "It sounds like a war."
"Elizabeth you are confined in your room until further notice," says Giles in a firm tone. "Is that understood?" 'Buffy' glares at her father then looks away from him. Giles then storms out of the room slamming the door behind him.
"What did you two fight about?" ask Anya 'Buffy'. "You never fight. Well, there was that one time. When your father found out about William."
"Anya," says 'Buffy'. "You seem to know dad really well."
"Yeah, he's my brother," says Anya. "What you expect?"
"Why did he break up with my mom?"
"Elizabeth this is something we really try not talk about. I mean we all promised for your father's sake."
"I want to know what happen?" Anya looks at 'Buffy' then goes over to the sofa and sits down. 'Buffy goes over to her side and sits down with her.
"They had a fight," says Anya. "Kind like the one you just had with your father. There was a lot of screaming and they woke up the neighbors." 'Buffy' stares at Anya in a very strange way.
"What were they fighting about?"
"The silliest things," says Anya. "Mostly about what they each gave up when they married and settled down. I think that he's come to realize that Joyce was the only woman he could ever love. But he refuses to believe that and searches for someone fill in the emptiness inside."
"So deep in his heart he still loves her?" says 'Buffy'. "Why doesn't he go to her?"
"Because he's not man enough to do it," says Anya.
"What about this Glory chick?"
"She's out for money," replies Anya. "I mean my brother is an attractive man but no way he'd attract that kind of girl." "Buffy' laughs at that.
"Will help me Anya?" says 'Buffy'. "We got to stop this." Anya agrees and notices something's about Elizabeth.
