Chapter 8 I'm Not Buffy, Really. Buffy puts her plan in action to get rid of Glory, but will it be enough to call off the wedding? Elizabeth begins to explore time being with Xander and Buffy explores being Spike.
England: Plan A.
'Buffy' and Anya were talking in the kitchen privately until Giles enters. The two girls stay quite and don't look at Giles. Giles looks at them both, grabs an apple from the fruit bowl, and leaves the kitchen.
"Think he's getting suspicious?" ask Anya.
"Nah," says 'Buffy'. "He doesn't know anything. Okay, Spike is going to come over and pretend to be the delivery boy. We will be watching from the guesthouse."
"What about your dad?" ask Anya. "He knows Spike. If he sees him..."
"Don't worry I got that covered," says 'Buffy'. "Dad's going to stay in the living room."
"Huh," says Anya.
"I put a little something in his tea to make him sleepy," says 'Buffy'.
"You poison your father," says Anya.
"Nah, it's just...it's not going to hurt him," says 'Buffy'. "Look here comes Spike."
Spike comes around the back of the house and into the backyard. He sees Glory sitting at table reading a book. Spike walks over to her and blocks her light.
"Would you excuse me..." Glory says as she pulls down her glasses and looks up at Spike. "Well, hello. Who are you?" Spike gives her a smile and laughs a little.
"No one got the door. I'm a delivery boy. I have a package for Mr. Giles," he says.
"Right place," says Glory getting up. "I'll sign it for him." Glory grabs his clipboard and signed. Spike looks at 'Buffy' and shrugs.
"It's not working," says Anya.
"I guess we move to plan B," says 'Buffy'.
"What's plan B?" ask Anya.
"Hell if I know," says 'Buffy'. Anya looked at 'Buffy' and starts to have thoughts. This girl is so different from the girl that left England four months ago.
"Rupert honey," says Glory as she head inside.
"Oh no," says 'Buffy'. She quickly comes from hiding and heads over to Spike.
"She was a little flirtatious," says Spike. "But nothing."
"What is it Glory?" ask Giles as he comes out of the living room. 'Buffy's' eyes widen as she sees her father head outside. 'He didn't drink the tea.' 'Buffy' thought this. 'Buffy' had to think fast.
"Oh, Elizabeth's going to kill me," says 'Buffy' as she grabs Spike and kisses him on the lips. He drops his clipboard and puts his arms around her. Giles sees this and he recognizes the boy. He becomes very angry. 'Buffy' releases him and he tilts his head. "Go." She turns around to Giles. Spike runs out of the backyard.
"Elizabeth I told you..." 'Buffy' walks over to Giles.
"I have nothing to do with your life and you have nothing to do with mine." 'Buffy' walks right by him. Anya from the guesthouse is relief and quickly runs into the kitchen.

"I know you guys can't really see how this is happening," says 'Elizabeth'. "But it is. It's not that I feel bad that Buffy dumped him, it's the fact that he's sweet and passionate."
"Um Elizabeth," says Willow. "This defiantly was not part of the plan."
"I know," says 'Elizabeth' as she gets up and walks around the living room. "It's just the way I feel."
"I know how you feel," says Willow. "I had a crush on Xander when we were in high school. But he was too busy making googly eyes at Buffy to notice me."
"You liked Xander," says Tara. "That's so cute." Willow blushes.
"I think the big problem here is," says 'Elizabeth'. "Does he like me?"
"Well, yeah he does," says Tara.
"No," says Willow. "He likes Buffy."
"Right," says 'Elizabeth' a little jealous of her sister for the first time.
"Who likes Buffy?" ask Joyce coming down the stairs with a new outfit on.
"Um some guy," says Willow. "Ms. Summers you really look nice in that one."
"Yeah, mom that's perfect," says 'Elizabeth'.
"Honey, I just got a phone call about some airline tickets to England," says Joyce. "What is that all about?"
"Um, I have no idea mom," says 'Elizabeth'. Tara and Willow head over to the door.
"Bye Buffy, Ms. Summers," they both say and leave. They both wipe their fake sweat off their foreheads but feel really bad leaving 'Elizabeth' all alone. Then they see Xander walking to his house. Willow runs over to him. Tara follows.
"Xander I need your help," says Willow out of breath.
"What is it Willow?" ask Xander concern.
"Could you do me this real big favor and go to Buffy's house and help her with something," says Willow.
"Why do you want me to do that Willow?" ask Xander. "She doesn't want to know anything about me."
"Xander, please," says Willow putting that face that you could never say no to. Tara laughs at it and Xander agrees. He runs over to the house and opens the door.
"Buffy you tell me what you're up to right now!" says Joyce as 'Elizabeth' walks towards the door. "The tickets who are they for?" The door opens and Xander enters. 'Elizabeth' is startled.
"Ms. Summers they're mine," says Xander. Joyce turns to Xander.
"Yours," says Joyce. "Why would you want to go to England?"
"England," says Xander as he looks at 'Elizabeth'. "I ah have a family member there."
"He ask Willow and I she ask me," says Buffy. Xander looks at 'Elizabeth' then at Joyce.
"Oh," says Joyce. "I'm so sorry Buffy." Joyce walks back upstairs.

'Elizabeth' and Xander walk out of the house and onto the porch. 'Elizabeth' looks at Xander and he looks back at her.
"Thanks," says 'Elizabeth'. "How did you..."
"Willow and Tara," says Xander.
"Oh," says 'Elizabeth'.
"Why did you want a ticket to England," ask Xander.
"I always wanted to go there and I wanted to know how much it would cost," replies 'Elizabeth' with a smile.
"Oh," says Xander.
"Yes, well," says 'Elizabeth'.
"Buffy," says Xander.
"Yes," says 'Elizabeth' looking up at him.
"Your welcome," says Xander. 'Elizabeth' looks down. He begins to walk off the porch.
"Xander," calls 'Elizabeth'. Xander turns around.
"Thanks again," says 'Elizabeth' kicking herself for not saying what she really wanted to say. Xander walks off and 'Elizabeth' enters the house.

England: Plan B.
Anya and 'Buffy' are in the dinning hall and are expecting Glory to come by at any moment. Their plan is to begin to talk about some big money that Giles will be getting soon.
"So your dad wants to keep this a secret," says Anya. Cue Glory coming down the hallway. "The money is coming in today."
"How much?" ask 'Buffy'.
"Five million," says Anya. 'Buffy' looks at Anya. "He is going to put it in the safe in the study."
"Why so much?" ask 'Buffy'. Glory catches the bait. She gets close to the door and listens in. "It's not a smart idea to bring so much money into the house."
"Well, that's how he wants it," says Anya. "You can't change his mind for anything."
"Yeah, I know that," says 'Buffy'. The two girls walk out of the room and Glory enters with a smile.
"I guess I'll be getting some money real soon," says Glory. Anya and 'Buffy' listen to her from the other room.
"Fish on hook," says 'Buffy' with a smile.
Later that day 'Buffy' is walking in the gardens. Spike shows up like he promised. He was going to be plan C, but they don't need it.
"Hey," says Spike.
"Hi," says 'Buffy'. "We got her."
"Really," says Spike.
"She wants my dads money," says 'Buffy'. "I know it. They are so predictable."
"Um Elizabeth," says Spike as he steps in front of her. 'Buffy' puts on a confuse face. "I just to be clear here. Yesterday when you kiss me, Was that to make your dad angry?"
'Buffy' pauses for a moment. "Yeah," she says as she touches her lips.
"Oh," says Spike bowing his head and stepping aside.
"I'm sorry," says 'Buffy' grabbing his hand. Spike looks at her hand and pans up to her face. The two continue to walk in silence.
