"Is anyone else worried yet?" Xander continued to gulp. They were at the door to the Summers' house.

"Buffy and Spike can handle themselves. Maybe they didn't make it through the portal. Whatever the reason we need to finish out what we came here to do." Tara said.

"Do we knock?" Willow asked, confused.

"Well we don't know who lives here. Maybe—" Tara began to say as someone opened the door. The scoobies stood in awe as Future Buffy opened the door.

"Oh my… Giles!" Buffy shreiked as she hugged Giles. "Wait, what are you guys doing here?"

"You arent freaked?" Willow asked, still confused. She looked at her best friend who was still as beautiful and strong as ever. Buffy let go of Giles and took a step back.

"Willow and Tara told me you'd be coming." Buffy said then correcting herself. "Our time Willow and Tara I mean."

"Buffy we came because of Emily." Giles interupted. Buffy's eyes grew wide and teary.

"Do you know what happened to her? Have you heard anything?" She asked, hoping her daughter was okay. Giles gave her a moment to collect herself and breathe.

"I'm afraid we don't know much. Spike had a dream of a winter forrest where creatures were attacking her."

"We are working on it here as well. Our Spike had a dream too. He's out looking for some more information too. Come on in." Buffy smiled warmly. She gave Giles a hug again. I miss him so much… She thought, trying not to choke up.
