"So where are you going to start your quest Xander," asked Giles as the two sat in the elder mans apartment. They had enjoyed a nice breakfast and as promised the night before they began to get caught up in one another's lives, but now the time had come to discus the matter at hand.
"I'm going to start with the one that started Buffy down Slayer road, Destiny."
"And just how do you plan to find him, no text states just how to get into his realm."
Xander smiled at the fact that for once he seemed to know more than Giles on something supernatural. "That's okay, I know how to get there and everything that I need is at the amusement park."
The ride to the park was short and silent, neither man talking for his own reasons. Once there Xander went straight to a kiddy maze, turned around and spoke to Giles for the first time sense arriving and said, "Thanks for the ride Giles but I think I have to do the rest myself."
Giles simply sighed and said, "I understand, I may not like it but I understand."
With that being said Xander entered the maze. After a while the walls of the maze began to change from padded wood, to stone, to living bushes. If Xander hadn't been so involved on having the correct mind set or making the correct turns at the correct time he would have noticed this as well as the fact that the sky changed as well some times to the point where it would have been obvious that he was no longer on Earth.
Finally he came upon a man wearing a brown monks robe with the hood drawn shackled to a large tomb. Taking a deep breath Xander began to talk to Destiny of the Endless.
"Hay Destiny, you know why I'm here right?"
"I do Alexander Harris but what I don't know is why the page concerning this conversation is missing from my book."
"Well I could point out that there are pages that aren't in your book just like there are paths outside of your garden but the truth is I don't think I walk those paths at least not really. The reason this conversation isn't in your book is probably because I don't have a destiny so I'm below your radar. Besides I bet that if you look at that page after we have finished this conversation you will find it completely filled up."
"And why do you believe this?"
"Because some times destiny isn't written until after it has happened. Buffy's destiny hasn't finished writing its self. She needs to be brought back. I know you called another Slayer but she has to work through her own issues before she can fill her roll. That is one reason why I'm here but the more important reason is that she is my friend, so please give me your answer yes or no."
And Destiny looked at his book and sure enough the blank page had been filled with not just the conversation they had just had but with very important incites that explained how Xander knew to use those words so that for the first time since the beginning of the universe Destiny exercised free will. "You have made me do something I have never done before Alexander and that frightens me. My book tells me how you were able to do it even if you don't yet realize what you have none, never the less my answer remains the same. Yes, you may have your friend back."
