Disclaimer: Me Owns Nothing, You Stop Asking

KAy, got the next chapter done. Enjoy- while you can... MUAHAHAHA sorry evil breakdown there... R&R!

"This is crazy! How could this be?" Xander was pacing the cabin he was in. Anya-or this apparition of Anya- had supposedly dragged him here. Anya sat in a wooden chair, rolling her eyes at her ex.

"Oh, cool it Xander." Anya's voice, although calm, seemed to raise the hysteria in Xander's pacing.

"How could this be?" Xander suddenly stopped pacing, realization clear on his face. "I'm dead! I mean, that must be it! You died, I can see you, and the last thing I remember is drowning. If my math isn't failing me right now, I'm dead."

"Then why would I give you CPR, huh?" Anya pointed out, crossing her arms.

"Well, uh... I guess that would be a waste of time if I was dead, but then tell me, how am I seeing you?" Xander stared at Anya, tears wanting to escape his eyes, not tears of sadness, but tears of joy of seeing his one true love again.

"Well," Anya stopped, not sure of the words to tell him. How WAS she here? She had thought of this before when she felt alive again, but she came to no conclusion and just let it go. The last thing she remembered was saving that dork Andrew's life and getting sliced and diced by that no-eyed bringer. Maybe she was still dead, but that would mean Xander WAS dead. No, she could feel herself breathing, but she still had no answers to the one apparent question- how was she alive?

"I don't know, to tell you the truth. Xander, something's up. I can sense evil around us; around everyone! We have to gather the others, Xand." Anya was shocked by the confused glint in Xander's eyes.

"What others?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Harris! The others! You know; Buffy, Willow, Giles, oh, and I guess Andrew, though I can't see how he could help. The Scooby gang!" Anya wanted to slap him for acting so out of it, but better judgement told her not to. He did almost die, so he had an excuse for being a little confused.

"Oh!" Xander exclaimed, snapping out of his confusion. "Sorry, it's been a long time."

Anya stood up straight. "You mean you guys didn't stay in touch? You went your own way?"

"Well, I guess you can put it that way. Buffy and Dawn left to try for a normal life, Willow went to England to teach young witches to control their magic and let it flourish, and Giles is helping new slayers tone their powers. I have no clue where Andrew is. He was so surprised he didn't die; so sad it was...you.." Xander turned away; he didn't want Anya to see his tears he was shedding for her.

"Xander," Anya moved towards the door. "Let's go round up the others... The Scooby gang will live again." At this Xander laughed his Xander laugh. No longer sad for past sorrows, he was overjoyed that someone.. someTHING had returned Anya; his Anya. He was grateful for that something, but he wouldn't be for long.

I hope you liked the new chapter! I'm trying to update whenever I can. Please Review!
