Note: Hello all! First of all I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have read and reviewed this story. You guys are awesome! Second of all…obviously with 5 Buffy's things are going to get really confusing. I'm going to try my best to make it the least confusing as possible. As I go along with the story I'm going to put in parenthesis how I'm going to differentiate between the Buffy's. The original Buffy of the story will still just be Buffy but the other four will have numbers with their names to distinguish them. For example they will be Buffy1, Buffy2, Buffy3 and Buffy4.

Chapter 2 – Five Buffy's

As they tried to take in the situation, the five Buffy's, Angel and Spike just kind of stood there looking around at each other in disbelief. The four Buffy's that had just come through the portal just kept looked at each other and at Buffy with extremely confused looks on their faces.

The Buffy on the far right (Buffy1) wore black pants, a red sleeveless t-shirt and high rise boots. Her hair was wavy like Buffy's but a little shorter. She seemed to be the cleanest and most put together of the four. She was also the one that looked the most similar to the real Buffy.

The Buffy next to her (Buffy2) had straight hair, pulled back in a loose pony tail sloppily as if she put it up in a rush. She wore blue jeans, plain white shoes and a white top with a visible food stain on the shoulder. Of all the newly arrived Buffy's she looked the most worried about the situation she was in.

The next Buffy (Buffy3) had a different look about her all together. She wore black leather pants and a tight black shirt that showed cleavage that Buffy didn't even know she had, with a short black leather jacket over it and healed black boots. Her hair was crimped, dark blond with lighter blond highlights and her face looked a little paler then the others.

She too looked well put together as if she spent a lot of time on her look but it was a completely different look. One that Buffy herself would never really wear unless she was planning on going out to work the street corner. She was wearing way too much makeup and there was something in her eyes that made the original Buffy cringe.

The last Buffy to the far left (Buffy4) looked tougher and more muscular then the others. Her face was hardened as if she'd been through hell and back. She wore brown cargo pants, a white tank and a pair of dark colored sneakers. Her cloths were slightly tattered and dirty and she looked as if she hadn't showered in a few days. She had a small scare on her upper lip and her hair was straight and in a ponytail similar to Buffy2's but pulled back a little tighter so as not to let one stray hair fall into her face.

"What the hell is going on?" Buffy2 finally asked nervously but still with composure to show that she wasn't afraid.

"Umm…I think you…Buffy's…just came through a portal luv," Spike answered with a lingering confused expression on his face.

Buffy3 just smiled slightly as she looked around. "Well this should be interesting."

Angel's face turned from confused to concerned and defensive. "Vampire," he said as he watched Buffy3 intently.

"What?!" the other four Buffy's said at the same time with extreme shock in their voices as they're eyes turned to Buffy3.

She just shot them all a sinister smile and started laughing. "Damn it Angel…you ruined the surprise. I'm guessing in this reality you still have that pesky little soul problem."

"A problem I'm guessing you don't share," Angel pointed out by the way she was acting.

Buffy3 rolled her eyes, scoffed at him and responded, "Thank God!"

She looked around the room sizing up the people in it. Angel and Spike both had souls. She could smell the disgusting things all over them and could see it in both of their expressions. Realizing that she would be a little outnumbered playing against two souled vampires and four slayers she slowly started to back up in an attempt to get out of there while she had the chance.

"I think it might be a good idea if we don't let that one get away mate," Spike said to Angel as all eyes stuck to Buffy3.

Buffy3 just smiled. "You know what," she began to say as her face changed to that of the vampire, "You're probably right."

She started to take off but Buffy4 jumped in front of her before she had the chance. She tried to turn to her left but Buffy2 was already there waiting for her. Before she knew it all four Buffy's surrounded her and she knew she wasn't going anywhere.

"Four Buffy's against one," she said disappointedly as her face changed back to its human form, "Now this just isn't fair."

When Wesley hung up the phone he had a very worried look on his face.

"What is it Wes?" Gunn asked him.

During the tour Wesley had been informed that he had a phone call. He and Gunn went to take the call while Fred continued the tour.

"Remember that call that Angel got about a portal?" Wesley asked.

"Yeah."

"Well…something came out of it."

Gunn shook his head in dismay. "So should we mount up? I mean what kind of demon are we talking here?"

Wesley's eyes widened in surprise and confusion at what he'd just heard on the phone. "Actually…not a demon at all," he responded.

Gunn gave him a confused look. "What is it then?"

"Buffy," he responded.

"Huh?" Gunn asked with even more confusion.

"Four of them Angel said," Wesley responded.

"Wait…four Buffy's?" Gunn asked still feeling very confused.

"Apparently," Wesley responded feeling slightly confused himself. "He wanted just you and I to join him but I have a feeling the others will insist on going. We might as well just tell them what's going on and be on our way. Angel said that he would just bring them here but he doesn't want to leave the portal unattended. I need to grab a few books and some chains and shackles. Do me a favor and go inform the others and I'll meet you in the parking lot."

"Got it…wait…did you say chains and shackles?" Gunn asked.

"Yes, Angel requested them," Wesley responded with a perplexed look. "He didn't really say why."

Gunn simply shrugged his shoulders and then the two friends walked out of the office.

"Wesley and Gunn are on their way," Angel told the others as he walked up to them after stepping out to make his phone call.

They were all in a corner of the warehouse were they could watch Buffy3 easier and still see the portal incase anything decided to jump out of it again. Even though Buffy3 was surrounded and unable to get away she still had the same sinister smile on her face as she sat in the corner and watched the others. It was as if she still felt no fear what so ever. The others just tried to ignore her.

"So what's going on here, Angel?" Buffy asked. "I mean are they like…future Buffy's or something?"

"I'm really not sure," Angel responded. "It's a possibility I guess."

"Well how old are you?" Buffy1 asked as she listened in on the conversation. "It's a good way to find out."

"I just turned 23 not too long ago," Buffy responded.

"Same here," Buffy1 confirmed.

"Me too," Buffy2 and Buffy4 said at the same time.

As much as they didn't even want to include vampire Buffy they figured they should ask her as well. They all turned to look at her. "What about you?" Buffy asked with annoyance in her ton.

Buffy3 looked to the ceiling as if she was thinking very hard. "Yeah I think that's how old I am. You don't really keep track of birthdays as much when you're dead," she added with a smile.

"Well I guess that kills the future theory," Buffy said as she looked back at Angel.

"They're probably from alternate worlds," Spike suggested.

Buffy4 nodded her head in agreement. "It kind of makes sense. I mean we're all Buffy Summers but we're obviously all very different…some more then others," she added as she looked disapprovingly towards Buffy3.

"Yeah but aside from her," Buffy1 said with a nod towards vampire Buffy, "the rest of us don't seem all that different."

"Yeah but I'm betting we are," Buffy2 interjected. "For starters I'm the only one that has a ring on my finger," she added as she showed them the wedding ring that was beautifully placed on the ring finger of her left hand.

"Wow!" Buffy1 said as she grabbed Buffy2's hand to get a closer look at the wedding ring. "Definitely didn't notice that."

"You're married," Angel said as he looked down at the ground feeling slightly upset and disappointed. He knew that if she was married that meant that in her reality she wasn't with him. Even though he knew that things could never work out between them in any reality it still stung a little.

Buffy2 smiled at his obvious jealousy. "Don't look so depressed," she said to Angel. "In my reality…you're my husband."

Angel, Spike and all four of the other Buffy's whipped their heads in her direction with extreme disbelief in their eyes. "I'm sorry what?" Buffy asked as if she didn't hear her correctly.

But before Buffy2 could explain, they heard Wesley, Gunn and the others coming into the warehouse.

"Wow!" Xander said as he walked into the warehouse and joined the others. "Five Buffy's…that is…interesting."

"Did you bring the chains?" Angel asked Wesley. Wesley nodded his head and handed the chains and shackles to Angel.

Angel took them from Wesley and walked over to Buffy3. "Aww…are those for little old me? Really you shouldn't have baby…we have plenty at home."

"Are you bloody kidding me?" Spike said with extreme frustration. "You're married to him in her reality," he said as he pointed to Buffy2, "And your shagging him in vampire world?" he added as he pointed to Buffy3. "This is just bloody ridicules. Is there any of you who aren't with Angel?"

"Well I'm not with either of you remember Spike?" Buffy pointed out in annoyance.

"I'm not," Buffy4 said to Spike with a smile. "I'm not with Angel, Spike. In my world…I'm with you."

Spike smiled as some of his hopes was returned to him. At least one of the Buffy's was sane, he thought to himself.

Angel tired to ignore them all and just focus on chaining Buffy3 to a large pipe but it was hard not to pay attention when they were talking about alternate Buffy's having relationships with him.

Buffy1 was also about to protest and explain that she too was not with Angel in her reality, but with all the new information being handed out she figured she would just leave it alone for now.

"Wow there was way too much new information in there," Dawn said with an overwhelmed look on her face.

"I second that," Xander added with his hand raised in the air.

"We think that they're from alternate realities or something," Buffy tried to explain. "At first I thought maybe they were like future Buffy's or something but we're all the same age. Alternate reality's is the only theory we've come up with that makes any kind of sense."

Wesley raised his eyebrows in intrigue. "It's very possibly that you're correct in that assumption. Many alternate realities exist in other realms."

"Yeah, like the time me and Anya accidentally brought vampire me from a different reality," Willow pointed out.

"Precisely," Wesley confirmed.

"Ok but where do these alternate realities come from? And how did we get here?" Buffy1 asked.

"You mean you didn't come through the portal voluntarily?" Wesley asked with interest.

The other Buffy's shocked their heads. "One minute I'm in my own world and then the next minute it felt like I was just being pulled somewhere and then the next thing I knew I was here," Buffy2 explained.

"Well I'm not quite sure how or why you're all here but alternate realities are formed when something changes, if a different path is chosen or even just a different decision," Wesley began to explain to the group.

"The extremely different ones usually result from something large being altered. For example if Angel and the rest of us never took the job at Wolfram & Hart, I'm sure that alternate reality would be extremely different from one in which I just chose not to go to the grocery store on Thursday. My guess is that they're worlds were a result of something large being altered if they're lives are different from yours," he informed.

"Well so far we know that two of them definitely are," Buffy responded as she glanced at Buffy3 and then at Buffy2.

"Well I guess we should find out a little more about each other then," Buffy4 suggested, "Figure out just how different our lives really are."
