I don't own Buffy all the characters are Joss Whedon's and the plot is the movie Sliding Doors. So you can tell I have no creativity.

A/N Ana and Chrissie I am sorry I couldn't continue The Chip, but it really wasn't working with a guy protagonist. I know Buffy will be better.

A/N The scenes in italics are Buffy's second life.

Buffy rolled over and groaned at the alarm clock. Grudgingly she turned it off and headed to the bathroom to shower and change for work at the Magic Box. There are some days you just shouldn't get out of bed and this was going to be one of them. Buffy kissed her sleeping boyfriend Angel goodbye before she left.

"I'm what!" Buffy shrieked at Anya, her boss.

"You're fired." Anya repeated. "You are constantly late and have no appreciation or respect for the money. Besides since Giles left me in charge I feel the need to make some new changes around here."

"You know what Anya, I will not even give you the satisfaction of a retort." Buffy fumed as she left the Magic Box slamming the door hard enough that the bell was ripped off its hinges.

"What am I going to do now?" Buffy sat on the bench crying, her earlier anger replaced by fear. Angel had been out of work for a year to finish his art collection for the gallery her mother used to own before she died. Now they were a two person apartment with no income coming in. "Well I guess the best thing would to be to go home and update my resume and check the classified." Buffy sighed getting up and walking to the subway.

While running down the steps Buffy collided with a man with a briefcase which opened sending papers everywhere. Buffy helped the man retrieve the papers, but she missed the subway.

While running down the steps Buffy nearly collided with a man, but avoided the collision and managed to get onto the subway as the door was closing.
