Chapter 6. There is No Place Like Home.
"Kennedy," says Angel as he walks into the room.
"Hi," says Kennedy as she gets off the bed. "By the way, Willow got your message and well, she's probably wondering where I am now…"
"These portals are getting more frequent," says Wesley as he gets to his computer.
"Hello to you," says Kennedy feeling ignored by Wesley.
"Don't mind him," says Fred. "He gets like that when he doesn't get something."
"Did that make any sense?" asks Angel as he hands over the baby to Fred.
Back in Brazil, Willow gets a phone call. She grabs the phone as she tries to type a message to Wesley.
"Hello," she says.
"Yes, Willow it's Giles," says Giles.
"Giles, hi."
"We have a problem in which we need your assistance on." Giles rolls his eyes as he is looking at Kat.
"Do you mean the thing with random portals opening everywhere?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Giles pulls the phone away from him covering it and looks at Kat, Spike, Connor, and Dawn. "She knows. How does she bloody know when she is in the Amazon?"
"Hello, Giles are you still there?"
"Giles, just put her on speaker phone," says Kat as she takes the phone. "Willow, we're going to put you on speaker phone."
"Kat, what are you doing there?"
"That's part of the problem." Kat touches the speaker button and Giles goes over to sit down. "How do you know about this?"
"Wesley e-mailed me that Cordelia was missing and Cordelia then contacted them from your world."
"Cordelia is in my world, with Buffy. That's just great."
"Hey, you have me," says Spike with a grin.
"Oh, I'm so filled with joy," Kat says in a sarcastic tone.
"Are we going to get to the point here today or not?" says Giles still upset that Willow knew about the portals.
"Yes, continue Willow."
"Well, we kind of experienced it here, too."
"We?"
"Kennedy. She got suck into one of the portals and I have no idea where she is. I'm so worried."
"I'm sure she's fine. We'll contact Xander and see if she ended up in my world."
"I'll get in contact with Wesley and see if they got anything."
"You've talked to Wesley before you talked to me?" Giles folds his arms and pouts.
"Giles, will you give it a break?" says both Kat and Dawn. Giles looks away and frowns like a little kid.
"We'll keep in touch. Bye Willow."
"Bye."
"Hey, what's all the commotion in here?" asks Faith as she enters the kitchen. "Kat, what are you doing here?"
"Portal. How's the baby?" replies Kat.
"Growing and hungry. The kid never stops." Faith grabs a bottle from the frig and puts it in the microwave. "Hey, where's B?"
Back in Kat's world, both Buffy and Cordy dress up in Kat's clothing and had decided to check out the streets incase any portals or any other beings from their world or other worlds have joined them in this world.
Xander drives them down the streets and everything looks pretty normal. Cordy looks to her left, while Buffy looks to her right.
"Everything looks normal," says Buffy.
"Gosh, this world is kind of like ours," says Cordy. "Look, a Starbucks."
"Xander, stop the car," says Buffy.
"Buffy, we are looking for something out of the ordinary," says Xander. "A latte is not out of the ordinary." Buffy puts a frown on and Xander looks at her. "Those lips aren't going to get to me."
"So, Xander, how's life here with Kat going?" asks Cordy.
"It's great," says Xander. "Like you said, it's a lot like our world minus the supernatural stuff."
"So, any babies on the way?" says Cordy with a smile.
"Nope. Buffy beat me to that." Cordy looks at Buffy.
"What, you're pregnant?"
"Yes, and this car ride is making me feel queasy."
"Buff, don't you dare throw up in this car. It's brand new," says Xander. "Open the window or something."
"You need to eat healthy stuff Buffy," says Cordy. "When Fred was pregnant, that's all she ate. Fruits, vegetables, and grains."
"What, there was no cheese in her diet?" asks Buffy. They drive by a convenient store and Buffy sees some commotion coming from inside. Then a chair comes out of the window. "Stop the car, Xander." Xander stops and they all see that some demons are wrecking the store. Buffy quickly gets out of the car.
"Buffy, wait," says Xander as he follows her. Cordy follows behind.
"Hey, uglies, would you guys mind paying for all of this?" says Buffy. The demons look at Buffy and shrug, then one of them attacks her. Buffy takes him out in two seconds. "Who's next?"
The people run for their lives and the store is already empty as Buffy is kicking the asses of the demons. Xander and Cordy just watch and make sure that all the innocents are no where in sight.
"See, that was easy," says Buffy with a smile as she dusts herself. "What next?"
"Next is to get out of here before the police get here," says Xander as he pulls Buffy and they all get into the car just in time. The police arrive at the moment that they were driving down the corner.
Back in LA, in the supernatural world, Angel and the crew are searching for mystical beings in the books to find out who is opening the portals.
"Can't we just track a portal down, get to it, and see where it leads?" Kennedy suggests. Wesley, Angel, and Fred look at her.
"Now that sounds like something to do," says Angel. "Wesley, can we do that?"
"Um yes, but…" says Wesley. "I'll get on it."
"Good idea, Kennedy," says Angel as he pats her on the back.
"Thanks," replies Kennedy.
"These portals could open anywhere," says Wesley. "It's not like we can find the portal that leads to the source and reason why the portals are opening."
"We need to do something instead of standing around here."
"We need more information."
"We can get it when we find a portal."
"Would you two stop fighting?" says Angel. "Wes, lets find a portal. I think that is our best bet."
"Fine," replies Wesley.
