A/N - Or I could just write another chapter. i hope it's turning out in a little sense of what you hoped. Thanks for the reviews and excuse the spelling. I'm really tired and it's midnight.
-Cemetary - Where Chap 6 Left Off-
Angel did a double take once more and then went to kneel in front of the real buffy on the ground, "What do you mean she's your memory?"
Buffy stared up at the figure in white, "I can feel it. She remembers you like I never could, she sees my past and my moments not full of darkness."
Angel still looked confused, "So, does that mean you're getting your memory back?"
Spike smiled, "About bloody time."
Buffy shook her head, "I don't know. I still don't remember anything. I just feel..."
Spike stomped his foot, "Damn it. I was this close!" He held up his fingers centimeters apart to show how close he was.
Angel stood up obviously pissed about not knowing what's going on. He looked the not-real buffy in the eye, "I want to know what's going on right now and I want you to explain it to me."
The buffy in white nodded and moved to explain what she was doing there.
-Cordy's Place-
Everyone soon gathered around Wesley and listened as he continued to explain to giles hat he had found. "It's a manifestation giles. Buffy created it herself."
Giles shook his head, "What do you mean created?"
Wesey sighed, "When you guys did that spell she must of been confused for a while. Buffy herself used this as an escape time from this world or from something. Since you guys are loacated upon the hellmouth it must of actually happened. Her mind figured the only way she could escape was to not remember what she wanted to escape from."
Xander finally spoke up, "So you're saying there's another buffy out there who has her memory."
Wesley shook his head, "I'm saying there's another buffy out there who is buffy's memory."
Giles stopped their convo and asked another question, "So where do we find this manifestation?"
Wesley shrugged, "It will probably go to wherever buffy is. Do not worry because it can't harm her."
Giles shook his head and sighed, "So what are the reprocussions and how do we get the memory back into buffy's body?"
Wesley looked at the book for a few seconds before answering, "It's up to buffy. She has to want her memory back. She can't even just want to remember parts, she has to accept every responsibilty again and then her memory will do the rest."
Willow smiled, "So all we have to worry about is getting Buffy to want to come back to us."
Wesley continued to read and started speaking in a lower tone as he spoke, "That's actually not all we have to worry about." Worried faces went around the room as Wesley continued to read from the book. "Although the manifestation of one's body is not real it can still be harmed. One part of the slayer can not survive without the other."
Tara looked to Willow, "Does that mean if one buffy get's hurt the other one will too?"
Wesley answered for willow, "Precisely. That's not it though."
Anya shook her head, "Geese, how long are we gonna be here?"
Cordelia nodded, "Yeah.I would like to sleep sometime. I mean we did just finish saving L.A.'s ass."
Giles stood up in obvious anger, "We'll be out of your way in a few hours Cordelia. I know she doesn't mean much to you but she means a lot to the rest of us so until we are out of your hair would you please just act like you care and shut up."
Cordelia sat down and for the first time Riley spoke, "What else is there?"
Giles sat down oviously in guilt but till paid attention as Cordelia did pretty much the same thing. Wesley waited for silence until he read from the book once more, "The manifestation can't exist for too long in this reality. Once it decides to show itself both the real body and manifestation start to fade. It is not until both are united again that both will be sure to survive."
Xander looked around completely petrified, "Okay, so what if buffy doesn't want to remember this world?"
Willow shook her head, "Why wouldn't she want to remember? I think she's been pretty happy. I mean there was..."
Xander shook his head to make it clear, "Come on Willow. She's been looking for a way out of slaying since way back when she killed Angel."
Willow sunk her head and found out it was a nice day for brooding. Giles tried to lighten the mood, "I know there's responsibilities she doesn't wish to accept but she has other days where there's no demons."
Xander laughed because he couldn't believe what giles just said, "Are you serious? Since she came back from running away she's been different, cold almost. I don't even expect her to want to come back. I wouldn't either if I had to deal with the decisions made for her."
Riley who had been surprisingly quiet spoke up, "So what now? We wait until Angel and Spike get back with her hoping the manifestation isn't with her yet?"
Giles shrugged, "I guess so." He stared at Wesley, "How long does it say we have once her memory has manifested?"
Wesley sighed and leaned back in his chair, 'A day, a day and a half at the most."
The room was left with to glare at each other in curiousity and worry. Finally Willow asked the one million dollar question, "So what do we do if she doesn't want her memory back?"
-Cemetary-
The Buffy all in white smiled, "That's up to our little slayer now."
Spike's eyes were on her in seconds, "Well you heard her layer. Just want your memory back and we can go home."
Buffy stared over into Angel's eyes before looking down in obvious guilt, "I don't want to know. We shouldn't have come here Spike. I want to go home."
Angel ignored the pain that went through him at her words and focused on the first part because that's the part he couldn't believe, "Did you not just hear her say you're going to die if you don't take your memory back? You don't have another choice."
Buffy stood up to face her ex-lover face to face, "If I wanted to escape this world then I was probably already dead."
That sentence left Angel speechless but it put Spike's signature grin on his face, "Well, well, well... Looks like the slayer's going to get hers pretty soon."
Buffy looked down, "We should get back to that woman's house."
The un-real buffy walked up to Buffy and touched her shoulder, "Cordelia, her name is Cordelia."
buffy winced at the fact she couldn't remember especially when Angel touched her other shoulder, "I know you want to remember buffy. I can't be the only one who remembers you and me."
Buffy stared up at him with audden anger, "You are not going to use the wayI feel for you as an excuse for me to get my memory back! You are not going to do this to me. Now we have to get back. I'm sure Spike's already crazy being here in L.A."
Spike smiled, "Damn rights I am. I hated Sunnydale but at least there I was respected."
Buffy nodded and started walking, "Then it's time to alert the troops."
The buffy all in white looked at Angel, "We don't have much time."
Angel nodded and both the memory manifestation and him took off towards buffy and Psike who were already miles ahead of them. It was goin to be a long explanation to Giles or not...
-Cordy's place-
Giles stared the manifestation in the eyes as buffy, Angel, SPike and Buffy's memory stood at the now opened door, "We know Angel. No need to explain."
Angel looked around, "How do you know?"
Wesley stood up but Xander spoke for him, "Accidental research. Your watcher fluked it."
Wesley sighed and sat back down. Willow got up though and walked over to buffy, "So, why aren't you and your manifestation together yet?"
Buffy looked around and then stared down, "I don't want my memory back."
The room was left with dismayed, distraught and confused faces as they processed the few words the actual buffy spoke.
