Chapter 11 I'm Not Buffy, Really.
Tara puts the pedal to metal and zooms towards the airport. Xander almost didn't get to close the door.
They arrive at the airport and run out of the car.
"Hey, you can't leave this car here!" says one of the men who works at the airport.
"I'll be right back I promise," says Tara as she enters the airport with Xander and Willow. They look at security then at the monitors that display the flights departing.
"They're not going to let me through," says Xander. Tara walks up to one of the kiosk and pulls out her credit card. "Tara what are you doing?"
"Getting you a ticket." The electronic ticket prints out and she gives it to Xander.
"Thank you," says Xander as he hugs her.
"Your welcome," says Tara. "Now go!"
"Right," says Xander as he runs to the security. The security panel beeps when Xander passes through it. The guard ask him if he had anything metal items in his pocket. Xander nods no. She then tells him to go again. It beeps once again.
"Alright, spread em," says the lady with gloves. She pats all over his body. (Oh who wouldn't want to do that to him. Lucky guard.) "Nice gluts." Xander's eyes widen as he looks at the lady.
"Alright, you can go," she says.
Passing security Xander looks at the gates and runs down the corridor.
"I hope he makes it," says Willow. "Me too," says Tara putting her head on her shoulder. The two head back outside to move the car before they get a ticket.
"Flight 2021 going to London, England now leaving at gate 8," someone announces through a loud speaker.
"It's time to go honey," says Joyce as they get up from their seats and head to the plane.
"Elizabeth!"
Elizabeth hears a distant call of her name as she hands her ticket in. She then turns her head around and hears it again.
"Elizabeth what's wrong?" ask Joyce. Joyce turns around and sees Xander running over to them.
"Xander!" says Elizabeth getting out of the line. She drops her bags and runs to him. They embrace long and hard.
"Why are you leaving?" ask Xander still holding her close. "Are you leaving cause of me?" They release each other. Elizabeth looks into his deep brown eyes.
"No," says Elizabeth bowing her head. "I don't belong here. Buffy does."
"I don't want you to leave," says Xander.
"Why?" ask Elizabeth.
"Cause I love you," says Xander. Everyone in the airport went 'awwwwwww'. "I do, really."
"I love you too, but..."
"But what?"
"I have something to do," says Elizabeth. "I have to leave." She grabs his hand and holds it tight. Elizabeth touches his face with her other hand and kisses him on the lips. "I'll never..." Xander kisses her back grabbing her by the waist. Elizabeth didn't stop it.
The crowd in the airport cheered for the couple.
England:
"Gee, he really gave all," says Anya sitting in Elizabeth's room. "I've never seen Giles that angry since... well lets not even get into that."
"Grounded for life," says 'Buffy'. "Can he really do that?"
"I think he can," says Anya. "He is your father after all."
"Well, I prefer grounded for life than any other thing," says 'Buffy'. "He really scared me. I mean the way he acted it was like out of one those movies when the girl is about to get beaten."
"You father beat you," says Anya laughing. "Good lord, he's never even spanked you. Why would you think such a thing?"
"I don't know the ripping the phone from the wall," says 'Buffy'. "That was a dead give away."
"Giles can be scary sometimes but he is sweet guy," says Anya. "Gosh darn it if he weren't my brother I'd take him."
"Ewww," says 'Buffy'. Anya gives her grin.
"I don't know how your mom let him get away."
"Let him get away," says 'Buffy'. "My mom didn't let him get away he...um."
"Elizabeth," says Anya. "Your not Elizabeth are you? You're Buffy."
"How did you..."
"I've known Elizabeth since she was born," says Anya. "I know her better than her father."
"How long have you known?"
"The minute I saw you," says Anya. "Though you had me convinced a couple times. Are you trying to get your parents back together again?"
"Yeah, but this Glory chick..."
"I know," says Anya. "Your dad's such a sweet heart that makes it easy for tramp like her to attach herself to him. Don't worry Buffy. We'll figure out a way." Buffy laid her head on Anya's shoulder.
"I just hope he realizes that she is not right for him before it's too late."
"So, you and Spike are..." Buffy looks at Anya. "Come on. Elizabeth always tells me everything."
"I'm not Elizabeth."
"Buffy, please."
"Alright, I'll tell you."
Later that day:
"Anya have you taken any money out of the safe in my study?" ask Giles.
"No Giles," says Anya. Glory enters the room with a smirk.
"Oh dear lord," says Giles as he passes his hand through his hair. "Elizabeth!" He walks over to the stairs as 'Buffy' was coming down the stairs.
"What?" ask 'Buffy'.
"Have been in my safe?" ask Giles.
"No!"
"Elizabeth please don't lie to me anymore," says Giles.
"I didn't do anything," says 'Buffy'. The door bell rings and 'Buffy' walks away from Giles towards the door.
"Don't you walk away from me young lady," says Giles as he follows her. 'Buffy' opens the door and to her surprise she sees herself.
"Elizabeth," says Buffy. Giles sees her and Joyce.
"Joyce," says Giles stun.
"Surprise," says both girls and Joyce. Giles opens his mouth but no words seem to come out of it. Buffy lets them in as Giles follows Joyce with his eyes.
"Oh my gosh there's two of them," says Glory looking at Anya. "I need a drink." She heads into the kitchen and Anya followed her.
"I tried to call but the line went dead," says Elizabeth.
"Yeah, um," says Buffy as she looks at Giles. "I'll tell you that story later."
"What are you doing here?" ask Giles stuttering with his words.
"You haven't noticed," says Joyce.
"What?"
"The switched places on us," says Joyce as she puts an arm around both her daughters.
"What... I."
"Elizabeth stayed in Sunnydale with me and..."
"I had Buffy," says Giles looking at the girl who has been staying with him for while. "You're Buffy."
"Yeah, that's me," says Buffy. "I'll understand if you want to disown me for life." Giles hugs her. "Okay you're scary me here."
"She give you any problems?"
"Oh yes," says Giles as he releases her. "She was a hand full."
"I'm really not this bratty. Honest," says Buffy. Giles laughs.
"She's just like you Giles," says Joyce. "Stubborn." Joyce smiles and Giles smiles back at her. The girls notice this and smile at each other.
"But why?" ask Giles to the girls.
"Well, I wanted to know what it was like to have a father and," says Buffy. "I wanted to know what you were like."
"Are you disappointed?"
"No."
"I wanted to know what mom was like," says Elizabeth holding her mothers hand.
"I should have remembered," says Giles. "That you lived in Sunnydale."
"Giles sooner or later they were going to meet," says Joyce. "Better sooner than later."
Someone knocks at the door. They all turn their heads to the door.
"Are there anymore surprises?"
"Nope," says Buffy. "Maybe it's Ed McMan delivering my million." Buffy goes to the door to open it.
"Elizabeth?"
Tara puts the pedal to metal and zooms towards the airport. Xander almost didn't get to close the door.
