Getting Over the Past

Chapter 3: The Health Drink.

"So, all I have to do is give this bottle to Alex?"David asked, tossing it form hand to hand.

"Be careful with that stuff! You must tell her to give it to Buffy as well,"Michaela stated.

"What is this stuff anyway?"David asked, as he stopped tossing it.

"A potion that will make Buffy lose her powers, I think it will be fun to see how she reacts to that,"she told him."Now, you best make sure that nothing happens to that. Oh, and don't try anything funny. I brought you back to life, and I can kill you whenever I want. I just have to will it you know. "

"What?!"David cried.

"Be a good little boy and make sure she gets it."

"Fine.... I'll make sure she gets it..."David said, walking out the door.

Alex smiled as she ran around in the sun, Xander right behind her. "This is fun!"she said with a smile.

"It has to be over 100 degrees out here!"he complained.

Alex didn't care, she loved the sun. Everything always seemed to be ok when she was in it. She smiled bigger, just running around. Xander sat down, "I'll wait for you here."he said, needing a break.

"Ok!"Alex said. She could even think about what it must be like for Spike. She wondered what happened to him when he came out in the sun. She laughed a little, thinking of spike with a rash, or bumps all over his body form the sun.

"Alex...."David said, walking over to her.

"David!"Alex cried, running over and hugging him. "I.. I thought you died!"

David, knowing she wouldn't understand no matter what he told her. "Well, I'm still here...... I want you to give this to Buffy... It's a........... health drink, yea.... I want you to give it to her to show how sorry I am for what I did..... now, I have to go.... I'll see you again soon...."He handed her the 'health drink' and started to walk away.

"Ok! I'll give it to her!!!!!!!!! BYE!!!!!!!!"Alex called. She ran back to Xander and they both went back to Buffy's. Alex gave Buffy the drink, telling her it was a sign of friend ship form her bother. Buffy eyed it a little, but not wanting to upset Alex, she drank it and passed out.

The next morning

Buffy opened her eyes,"I... I feel really weak...."she said.

"I've looked at what was in it, and it's made you into a normal human,"Giles said.

Buffy's eye light up in fear,"what?!"

"Buffy........."Spike said, walking over to her,"Don't worry, I'm not going to let anything happen to you."

"Spike................"Buffy said,"thank you........"

"Buffy.... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... I trusted my brother....."Alex said, sobbing.

"It's ok Alex......"Buffy told her.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Ok.... to fix it I think you need a simple spell that has some hiyu leaves in it as well as a little of Gupi powered mixed with what is left with the drink. Added with water and blended together should fix this,"Alex stated.

"That's.... a great idea.... why didn't I think of it?"Giles asked.

"Think of what?"Alex asked.

"That plan."

"What plan?" Everyone looked at each other, and sighed deeply.

"I'll go get the stuff, as soon as night falls,"Spike said.

"I'll get it, what do I need to get?"Alex asked,"my brother showed me how to get anything I could need."

Giles sighed a little,"it would be best if Spike could stay here. Alex, let me write it down."he said, leaving the room.

Alex smiled,"I'm just glad I can help!"
