Chapter 3 Time is of the Essence part 2. Trouble with the Buffy's. Will Angel get his way and have one of the Buffy's for himself? I'll let you read the chapter to find out.
Jenny and Xander follow Angel from a good distance to make sure he doesn't find the Buffy that is in 1965. As Giles had said before, if Angel keeps Buffy from returning back to future then the Buffy that old Angel took from the far away future will not exist. Angel must not get his hands on either Buffy or it will cause a terrible discrepancy in the time space continuum.
"Where do you think he's going to go now?" ask Jenny.
"Tonight's the dance. He's going go get my dad at the dance," says Xander. "And Buffy is there. Instead of beating up my dad he'll take Buffy."
"We got to be there to stop him."
"He might be expecting us."
"Don't worry we'll think of something. What's the worst he could do? Punch you in the face. You can take it." The two head to the school as the sun goes down.
"Thanks." Xander looks at Jenny.
Angel and his gang meet up and the three head to the dance. Jenny and Xander follow them.
Cordelia and William arrive at the dance. William had given her a corsage and Cordelia kept admiring it.
"Oh, I need to stop in the little girl's room," says Cordelia. "You could go inside and wait for me."
"That's alright I'll wait," says William.
"You're so sweet," says Cordelia. "I'll be just a minute."
William starts to look around the hallway and begins to whistle. Then from behind him two big men take him away.
"Thought you could go to the dance with my Cordelia," says Angel walking up to him as Riley and Parker hold him. "You're in way over your head Willy. She'll only go out with real guys like me." The guys pull him out to the parking lot.
"Look there they are," says Xander when he sees Angel and his gang pull William out of the school. Riley and Parker begin to beat William up.
"Alright you guys just hold him," says Angel. "We're waiting for someone to come."
"What are you talking about Angel?" ask Riley.
"Don't worry," says Angel with a grin on his face. " She'll be here. I'm going to get what I want tonight." Angel pats his jacket and grins at William on the floor.
Meanwhile inside Cordy looks for William. She thinks he must of entered the dance room and is waiting for her there. Cordy heads over to the dance room.
"Hi," says Cordelia walking over to Xander.
"Cordelia where's William?"
"I don't know," says Cordelia. "He said he'd wait for me when I was in the little girls room, but when I got out he was gone."
"That's strange," says Buffy. "I'll go look for him." Buffy walks out of the dance leaving Xander alone with his "mother".
When Buffy comes out of the dance, Xander and Jenny come out of their hiding place.
"Damn here she comes," says Xander as he follows Buffy with his eyes.
"Maybe we should stop her," Jenny suggest. "I mean she knows about the time machine and all."
"No, if Buffy doesn't scream Giles and I would never get to them and Angel will have his way."
"William," says Buffy running over to him who is on the ground bleeding. Riley and Parker let William go and go grab Buffy. "Let me go." She struggles but they are too strong for her.
"No! Leave her out of this," says William getting up with blood dripping from his lip.
"Willy you don't tell me what to do," says Angel as he walks over to Buffy and garbs her face.
"Right."
"You touch her and I'll..."
"You'll what William," says Angel turning to William. "Get your face pummeled into the pavement. Yeah William that could happen."
"She's mine," says Angel as he walks over to Buffy. He touches her face.
"Don't touch me you scum," says Buffy struggling in Riley and Parkers grasp.
Jenny and Xander hide behind one of the cars and peek from the side to see what Angel his goons are doing.
"So what's do we do?" ask Xander to Jenny.
"It will come to me," replies Jenny.
"Will it be soon." Jenny looks at Xander. "I don't know how Giles married you."
"That's cause I'm a woman of the moment."
"I'm warning you Angel," says William wiping the blood from his nose. "You touch her again and I'll..." Angel goes over to Buffy and pulls her by the hair. Buffy yells and that drew attention. Giles and Xander heard it and follow the sound.
William with a sinister look in his face walks over to Angel and without warning swings a punch toward his face, but Angel stops him and twists his hand. William feels the pain and falls to the ground as Angel pushes him.
"You take Angel and I'll stop you and Giles," Jenny says. Xander runs over to Angel.
"Hey, you," Xander says. Angel turns around and Xander punches him out.
"Xander," William says as he gets up. Xander glances at William. "Stay down." Xander pushes him down.
Parker and Riley see that and get scared of Xander whose facial features express anger toward them. They quickly run off letting Buffy go. Buffy walks over to the man who sacred Riley and Parker away. His back faces her.
Giles, Xander, and Cordelia saw it all from a distance. Cordelia comes rushing to William.
"Oh William are you okay?" she ask him. She touches his face slightly so not to hurt him. Cordelia pulls out some tissue paper and starts to clean his wounds.
"I'm okay luv," says William. "I can't say the same for him." William looks at Angel who has a bloody nose.
"I can't believe you stood up to him," says Cordelia. Angel gets up.
"I suggest you run," says Xander. Buffy stands beside William and Giles and Xander behind him.
"I suggest you step aside if you don't want to swim with the fishes," Angel says taking out a gun from his jacket. They are all in shock and freeze.
"Where did you…"
"I'm not stupid. I knew you'd come to save her. You're so predictable aren't you. The old man told me everything. He knows. You're a Harris."
"Angel put the gun down."
"Who is that guy?" ask the other Xander. Buffy walks over to the future Xander and sees at that it is another Xander.
Meanwhile, Giles and Future Buffy wait for Xander and Jenny to get back. Buffy walks back and forth, which drives Giles mad.
"Will you stop doing that!" Giles yells.
"I'm sorry! When I get nervous I pace," says Buffy. "What's taking them so long? Maybe they need our help. I think we should go."
"That's what Angel wants us to do. He might get you."
"I don't care. I want to make sure that Xander's alright." Giles nods his head and steps into the Delorian. He thinks for a moment then looks at Buffy.
"Alright lets go."
