Chapter 3 There's No Place like Home. Kat and Buffy switch places Again. Gee, stop that! LOL. This time is something else. It's all random.

"You are wearing pants under those covers, right?" ask Kat still with her hands over her eyes. Spike gives Kat a smirk.

"Wanna take a look?" ask Spike as he raises his eye brow.

"Ewww," replies Kat as she turns away from him.

"I'm kidding," says Spike with a laugh. He gets off the bed with pants on and puts on a shirt. Spike then grabs one of Buffy's robes and hands it over to Kat. "Put this on. You look cold." Spike passes by Kat's side as Kat puts on the robe.

"Thanks."

"Nice PJ's. Harris is one lucky guy." Kat turns to Spike as she ties the robe.

"Hey." She sees as Spike gets a grin. "I'm telling Buffy."

"Oh, I'm so scared."

"You better be." The two walk down the hallway to find Giles and explain this whole mess. Giles opens his bed room door and sees Spike and Kat.

"Kat? What are you doing here?" he ask.

"We switched," replies Kat. "Again."

"How did this happen?"

"Do you think that we would be here asking you if we knew?" says Spike.

"I think it was a portal," says Kat.

"The random disappearances," says Giles. "I know something was up."

"There have been random disappearances here too?"

"Yes, and I told Buffy about it but of course you know her."

"Yeah, too busy wanted to shag Spike," says Kat then a second later her eyes widen. "Did I say that out loud?"

"Kind of," says Spike as he glared at her.

"Well, are you sure Buffy will be in your world?"

"I think," says Kat. "We can e-mail Xander and find out then."

"Right, I think we should all get some sleep. We'll settle this in the morning."

"Goodnight." Spike and Kat head back down the hall way and see Dawn head over to the bathroom.

"Spike what are you doing with…Kat?" says Dawn.

"Hi, Dawn," says Kat. "You've grown. I wish you'd stop doing that."

"Buffy says that to me all the times," says Dawn as she gives a hug to Kat. "How did you get here? Is Xander here too?"

"No, this an unexpected trip."

"We're is Buffy?" Dawn turns to Spike.

"Well, we switched again, except in our own bodies. We keep doing that a lot."

They three head over to Dawn's room and begin to explain to Dawn the whole situation.

"Can we just e-mail him tonight?" ask Dawn.

"I guess we could," says Kat. "But I don't think the lap top is on." Dawn sits down on her computer and sees that someone has just instant messaged her. She reads the message and smiled.

"Are you still talking to that bloke," says Spike.

"Yes, and he has name Spike," says Dawn. "Never thought that you'd be jealous. Join the club."

"Me jealous," says Spike. "I'm not jealous."

"Just keep telling yourself that," says Kat patting his shoulder. "So what's his name Dawn?"

"His name is…"

All of a sudden a fierce wind blows through the room and Dawn gets pulled into a portal that opens next to her. Kat quickly grabs her arm and pulls her away from the portal. The two then go flying into the air. Spike grabs Kat's other hand and pulls her. With his other hand he is grabbing onto the door way panel and he pulls himself and the girls away from the portal. Then a person is pushed out of the portal and falls unto the bed. The portal closes and the girls falls unto the floor.

"Are you okay?" ask Kat to Dawn. Dawn nods her head. The three of them look at the bed and see someone moving. They get up and see that it's a guy. The guys rises up.

"Connor," says both Kat and Spike.

Meanwhile Buffy and Xander sit on the bed. They discuss all the possibilities for her arrival and they conclude that it's a portal. Xander remembers the news bulletin from that day and Buffy remembers what Giles told the last time she spoke to him.

"Giles will fix this," says Buffy.

"He always does," says Xander. "Kind of missing him." Then Buffy looks around the room and sees that décor has changed.

"Gave it your touch," says Buffy.

"Yeah, the pink curtains had to go," says Xander. Buffy smiles.

"I miss you Xander," says Buffy. "I miss Willow too. I mean we haven't been together, really together in a long time. I miss us just hanging out like we use to. It's not same. Both of you are like really far away from me."

"Buff," says Xander putting his arm around her. "I miss you too and Willow. I do sometimes miss the old days, but we're all living our own lives. Willow's got Kennedy and you got Spike, not the best choice you made there…"

" Xander."

"Yeah, I know. You love him. I get it."

"And you love Kat."

"Yeah, I do. She reminds me a lot of you. Don't tell her I told you that."

"My lips are sealed."

"I guess you influenced her in a away."

"How did I do that?"

"You just did."

"Okay, if you say so."

"So what's new?"

"I'm pregnant."

"You're what? With what?"

"Xander, I thought that you'd be happy for me. What happen to our touchy moment back there?"

"You could of mention this a little earlier."

"I just found out," says Buffy.

"It can't be Spike's."

"Well, it is. Unless you think I had an affair with Giles." Xander thought of that a second.

"Ewwww."

"That goes double for me."

"I'm sorry I overreacted. You know me, never been in the we love Spike club."

"He's a good man Xander, and he knows me like you do. Not just Buffy the vampire slayer, but just Buffy."

"I get it." Xander nods his head then they hug.

"Yeah, there's that Kodak moment I've been waiting for." Xander laughs at Buffy's comment.

"Do you have any more secrets that I would freak out about?"

"Not of the late, but I'll keep you posted."

In LA, at the Hyperion hotel, Angel is taking a shower and Cordy enters the bathroom. Angel peeks out of the shower as Cordy starts to brush her teeth.

"I see you," says Cordy with the toothpaste in her mouth. She spit's the paste out.

"Wanna join me," says Angel with a wicked smile. Cordy washes her face and dries her face with a towel near by.

"Love to but no," says Cordy as she walks over to Angel and kisses him on the lips. "Hurry up with that shower. I've got ice cream."

"Alright," says Angel as he quickly finishes his shower and then jumps out to dry himself. He grabs the red robe on the back of the bathroom door and puts it on then he checks himself in the mirror brushing his hair with his hands. "I'm coming. What kind of ice cream do you have…Cordelia." Angel walks around the room and doesn't find Cordy. He heads over to the door and calls for her outside then heads over to the lobby downstairs.

"Hey, Wes," says Angel finding him with his baby in his arm as he feeding the baby. "Have you seen Cordelia."

"No, not since she came for the ice cream," replies Wesley.

"Where could she be?"

"Spike," says Connor. He is the only one who he recognizes. "What? Where? How did I get here?"

"Long story kid," says Spike.

"You're Connor?" says Dawn looking at the attractive young man on her bed. "I'm Dawn."

"Dawn," says Connor. "You're not like I have imagined."

"What, were you expecting an older woman?" says Kat.

"Um, no…Is this your big sister Buffy?" ask Connor.

"No, this a friend who has something to tell me," says Dawn. They all look at Kat. "How do you know him?"

"Look Dawn it's a complicated thing," says Kat. "Why don't you get Connor some water and Spike get the first aid kite."

"First aid kit?" ask Dawn.

"He's got a nasty scar on his shoulder," says Kat as she walks over to him and slightly touches his shoulder. Connor had not realize it until she mention it.

"I must of got when the portal pull me in," says Connor. He sits down on the bed and Kat sits next to him.

"That looks like it must hurt," says Kat.

"Not much," replies Connor as he looks at Kat. "Are you wearing anything under that robe?"

"Oh, gee," says Kat. "Would you cut it out with the wanting older women. You're not going to get any." Connor looks at her strangely.

"Okay," says Connor.

"And the answer is yes."
