"Fred hold Connor back", said Cordelia as she passed Connor to Fred

"Moving on would each group please form a circle holding hands, this will allow you to be complete and we'll be gone", stated Joyce and to that each group of vampire and three took hands. Immediately this caused a cascade of energy to flow hand to hand and person to person ending in a violent explosion that consumed the circles.

"What happened where'd everyone go", asked Wesley as the smoke cleared and all of the ghosts were gone

"I have no clue", stated Angel as he sat up

"I suggest you take a heart check", laughed Buffy as she looked at both Spike and Angel

"It is, it's beating", smiled Spike as he hugged Buffy with all his might

"Congratulations but we have to move one about the every evil coming it's in one week", replied Xander

"So how are we going to work this we can't be in every place at once and so much evil can do a lot of damage if left unchecked", said Fred

"We're counting on two things the number of Slayers that we've called and the fact that it happens at sun down", answered Cordelia

"It will be a ripple effect everyone except us will be split in to two groups, they will be magically transported leap frog around the world, the problem is and why we're not part of the groups is that Sunnydale is at the end so there will be less people still alive", added Buffy

"This means we'll be positioned at the edge of the bowl of Sunnydale", finished Willow

"How wonderful or may be we should just pin a Kill Me Sign on our backs", stated Gunn

"We can at least go down with a final bang we gotta keep Connor an the world safe", replied Angel

"So if we're all in agreement I say you spend the next few days with the people you love and meet back here in five days", said Buffy as she looked at the group

The Final Days

East Hills Teen Center

"Charles", smiled Annie as she watched Gunn walk up the street

"Annie how you doing", said Gunn as they hugged

"Pretty good I guess", answered Annie

"Still fighting the good fight", asked Gunn as they walked up the steps to the center

"That's the drill, how are things uptown", replied Annie

"More fight less good, have you seen Rondell or the guys, I hit some of the old spots but didn't see anyone", stated Gunn

"They should be around but you know how it is, things come up", answered Annie as they walked in the center

"I know but I was wondering, I have to lay low for the next couple of days do you know any place I could stay", said Gunn as she had him sit on a couch

"You're not in trouble or anything", asked Annie

"The worlds in trouble Thursday I suggest you lock all the doors, board up the window and doors and keep a very large ax near by", replied Gunn

"That bad", cringed Annie

"Worst but that's all you can do", stated Gunn

Texas

"Roger come quick", called Trish Burkle as she opened her house door

"Mom it's good to see you", laughed Fred as her mother took her in a hug and her father followed

"What are you doing here, shouldn't you be working with your friends to save the world", asked Roger

"We have five days before we need to prepare for a very large battle and we don't know what's going to happen so I just wanted to see you before it happens", answered Fred as they guided her into the house

Hotel Room

"Hello Mother is Father there", asked Wesley as he held the phone to his ear then he hung it up

"What's the matter not what you expected again", stated Lorne from his position on the vibrating bed

"He wont speak to me, he knows about how Buffy took over the watchers council with Giles. He sees me as a cohort since I'm helping Buffy now", said Wesley as he sat in a chair

"Well at least your family doesn't take happiness out of your beheading", replied Lorne

"Actually I think my father would", stated Wesley as he crocked his head to the side

Pit of Sunnydale

"We are just so depressing camping out at the edge of Sunnydale no family and no true attachments", stated Xander as he set in a lawn chair at the edge of the pit with Willow at his side

"We never recovered what do you expect", asked Willow

"I thought you were almost there but then Kennedy got mean about how you felt bad about Tara and all", said Xander

"I still don't understand how she couldn't understand my pain that Taras body was disintegrated with Sunnydale and she left over it", replied Willow with a shake of her head

"Well at least she didn't try to string you up I swear I was having flash backs of the seal with my girlfriend after Anya died", stated Xander

"They were wonderful girls and they deserved more respect in death then they got", answered Willow

"I purpose a toast to the two most beautiful girls in the world", said Xander a he held up his drink

"May their souls rest in peace when their bodies were unable to", added Willow as their glasses clicked

Hotel Room Buffy and Spike

"It's good to have you back luv I can't express how much I missed just holding you", stated Spike as they lay in bed cuddled together

"You know it's the little things you miss just the ability to feel like you're connected to something small instead of the whole world", added Buffy

"You really missed me that much", asked Spike as Buffy looked up at him

"Of course I did I Love you and I never want you to forget that", answered Buffy

"I Love you too", smiled Spike

"Hay Spike", stated Buffy after a moment of silence

"What luv", asked Spike

"You think we can stay like this just holding one another for the next five days", replied Buffy as she cuddled deeper in Spikes embrace

"Old McDonald had a farm ei ie ei ie oh the farm he had a pig with a oink oink here and oik oik there here an oink there an oink every where an oink oink", sang Angel as he sat on a park bench holding Connor and Cordelia was sitting next to him

"You know if you keep singing him that he'll probably thing he's also a piggy", laughed Cordelia

"Hay it's a perfectly good song what else can I sing him", asked Angel

"The ants go marchin one by one hara hara", answered Cordelia with a smiled and they started serenading Connor
