Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! Everything BtVS belongs to Joss Whedon and the Hardys and Co. belong to themselves. Seriously, do u think I'd be writing if I owned Spike or the "Hottie" Boyz?

Summary: Challenge response. Dawn gets transported back in time to north Carolina where she meets the Hardys and Co. Will be Dawn/Matt Hardy, possibly Amy/Jeff Hardy

A/N: This story is a challenge response, I can't remember who posted the challenge, but as soon as I find it I'll be sure to let you know.

A/N 2: Thanx to bloodytear89 and spikewillow for reviewing the last chapter. This chapter will prolly turn out pretty short since it's a Sunnydale chappie, but the next chappie will definitely be longer.

Chapter 4

"Ah-Ha!" Willow shouted, jumping out of her chair, book in hand.

Buffy looked up from the book of demons she was looking through and looked at Willow, hope shining in her eyes. "'Ah-Ha,' Does that mean you found it?" She asked hopefully.

"I think so," Willow said as she continued reading the passage. She was getting more and more excited the more she read. Until she reached the end, that is. "Oh." She whispered, looking at Buffy sadly. "Sorry, this isn't it. I'll keep looking though." Willow said, sitting back down.

"It's okay, Wills, we know you'll find it. And then we'll bring Dawnie back and everything will be fine and back to normal." Xander said, trying to cheer his friend up.

"Thanks, Xan." Willow said as she got comfortable again. She glanced at Buffy who had dejectedly gone back to researching the latest nasty. "Goddess, I hope I find that spell soon." Willow thought as she went back to her search.

Anya looked at everyone from her place behind the cash register where she had been counting the money in the drawer yet again. She couldn't quite understand why everyone was so worried; it had already been determined that Dawn wasn't in a Hell Dimension, or even in a different dimension at all, she was merely in the past. Granted, they didn't know how far in the past, but still, Dawn was a big girl, 19 years old, 20 next month actually, both Buffy and Spike had taught her how to fight, so there was no doubt that she could take care of herself, plus, it was pretty much a given that as soon as Willow found the spell it would only be a matter of time before Dawn was back. 'Besides,' Anya thought, 'Who knows, maybe Dawn is getting some really great orgasms right now!' She once again looked around at everyone, Willow was curled up in her chair completely absorbed in finding the spell that took Dawn to the past, Buffy was absent-mindedly turning the pages in her book while staring off into space with a worried look on her face, Giles was pacing the floor while cleaning his glasses, just like he had been for the last hour since Dawn disappeared, and Xander was sitting at the table scarfing down twinkies, not even pretending to research. Just then, the bell over the door rang and Spike came striding in.

"'Ello all. So what's the demon of the week?" Spike asked as he walked in and sat down at the table next to Willow. He looked around for a second before a look of confusion crossed his face. "Where's the Nibblet?" He asked. Buffy didn't even seem to notice the fact that he was there, she was so caught up in her worry, Willow just mumbled a quick 'Hi, Spike,' before turning the page in her book, Xander completely ignored the vampire as was normal for him, Giles merely paused in his pacing long enough to glance at the blonde and went back to cleaning his glasses and attempting to wear a hole in the floor of the shop.

Seeing that no one else was going to answer the British vamp, Anya spoke up. "She's in the past. Or maybe the future. Most likely the past though, normally you would need a few ingredients in order to perform a spell to send you to the future and all Dawn did was read a spell, so I'd have to say that she's in the past." She stated.

Spike blinked a couple times before responding. "What do you mean she's in the past? How long has she been gone? And why in the name of all that is unholy did you lot let her read a sodding time travel spell? Bloody hell!" he exclaimed.

Anya rolled her eyes. "I meant what I said. She's in the past. It's exactly the way it sounds. She's only been gone for about an hour. And none of us let her do anything, she was researching and accidentally read the spell out loud and none of us noticed her doing it until it was too late. Willow is trying to find the spell she used right now so that we can bring her back. She's actually the only one doing anything productive. Xander just eats, Buffy has just been staring off into space worrying, though I'm not sure why everyone's so worried, Dawn is totally capable of taking care of herself, she has been fighting the things that go bump in the night since she was, what, 14? And Willow has been teaching her Wicca, too. Anyway, all Giles has been doing is pacing back and forth, cleaning his glasses, and occasionally mutter 'Oh dear.' Which I think is actually just making Buffy worry even more, ya know?" With that said, Anya went back to counting the money in the register.

"Oh." Spike muttered before turning to Giles. "Oy, Watcher! Sit down, you're making me bloody nauseas, your damn pacing isn't doing any good, so how about you do something useful and try to calm your Slayer down, huh?" Giles just glared at Spike before walking over, sitting down next to Buffy and starting to whisper to her, trying to calm her down. Spike smirked before pulling over a thick tome to flip through, not really looking for anything specific, just trying to pass the time until his Nibblet was back.

So, what do u think? I tried to lengthen the chapter some, but I couldn't really think of that much to add, though Anya's thoughts and everything with Spike weren't originally part of the chapter so I did manage to add quite a bit – just the added stuff is about a page long on my computer, the whole chapter and author's notes make about 2 and a quarter pages. Anyway, hope u enjoyed. Let me know what you think.

Until Next Time,
