(Chapter-22)

In the twenty-fifth century Bonnie was pacing back and fourth or just looking out the window. Faith walked up behind her and placed her hands on Bonnie's shoulders, "Hey, she in the best hands ever, Dr. Katherine Pulaski knows what she's doin'. Starfleet Medical called her in because of how tricky the surgery is, and they wanted it done right." Bonnie nodded and turned and looked at Faith with tears in her eyes, "I'm scared I might loose her." Faith took Bonnie and Held her, "That's not going to happen."

Back in the twenty-first century everyone was in the dinning hall sitting at the table waiting. Shego looked at the spot where Jules always sat, "It just doesn't feel right with Jules not being here." Kim hugged Shego, "She'll be back and she'll have her hearing repaired." Shego nodded and smiled, "She always talked about taking Bonnie up to Canada just to listen to the wildlife." Kim looked at the clock, "Faith did say we would know by dinner time. And it's only three on the afternoon."

Back in the future Dr. Katherine Pulaski walked out smiling. Bonnie jumped up, "How is she?" Dr. Pulaski smiled, "She's doing just fine, she in recovery right now. She'll be out in a few minutes, and then you can take her home. And see to it she get's some rest."

Just as Dr. Pulaski said that Jules came walking out of the recovery room, "Can we go home now?" Bonnie held onto Jules as if her life depended on it, "How's your hearing?" Jules smiled, "It's back to normal, but the good doctor wants me to get some rest." Bonnie smiled, "And that's what you're going to do, even if I have to go Crinos on ya." Jules smiled and kissed Bonnie, "You're the boss." Bonnie wiggled her eyebrows and kissed Jules back, "You damn right I am." Faith smiled, "Ok you two, lets go home."

Twenty minutes later after tapping in the time frame and coordinates, Faith, Buffy, Jules were back at the school in the dinning room getting something to eat. But Faith felt a bit odd, like something was wrong. The four sat down to eat when Shego walked in and sat with the others, "I just got off the phone and let me tell ya Donald was none to pleased about you four going through the mirror." Faith looked up, "Who's Donald?" Shego smiled, "If it were only that easy, Donald is your asshole husband."

Faith dropped her fork, "My what?" Shego rolled her eyes, "Donald is your asshole husband, and he's on his way here to let you know how he feels about you using his Time Mirror. We have the infirmery on stand-by when he gets done with you." Faith stiffened, "Are you saying he hits me?" Shego took a drink of water, "Hit is an understatement. The last time he beat the shit out of you, it took you a month to get out of the hospital. And that was for not having his bath water hot enough."

Faith leaned forward, "Look Shego, I don't know where you got your infromation, but I'm not married to a man, I'm married to another female. I've been married to Buffy for almost ten years." Shego looked at Buffy, "And he better not catch you here or..." Shego looked closer, "Oh My God! You're not our Faith and Buffy. Where did you come from?" Faith rubbed her face, "It seems we come from another universe. We were in the future getting Jule's hearing fixed when I tapped in the time frame and coordinates to go home."

Buffy spoke up, "What's the condition of the sun?" Shego shrugged her shoulders, "There's some major flare ups but nothing to worry about." Faith smiled, "I think I know how we got here, and how we're getting back." Faith took a drink of her soda, "But first there's something I need to do." Just as she said that a man stormed into the dinning room, "I warned you about using my Time Mirror." He looked at Buffy, "I'll deal with you next bitch."

Before Faith could make a move Donald had moved onto Faith grabbing a handfull of hair, yanked her up and threw her against the wall. Buffy jumped up but was kicked in the stomach dropping her to the ground. Faith smiled, "Bad move asshole, Hey Bonnie time to play." Before anyone knew what was happening Bonnie was out of her chair and in full Crinos form holding Donald to the ground. The others in the dinning hall were at awe at what they were seeing.

Faith helped Buffy up and then walked over to Donald, "How does it feel to be on the recieving end?" Just as she said that the other Faith walked into the Dinning hall and was shocked to see her husband being held down by a huge creature. Donald looked at his Faith and then at the other, "Who the Hell are you people?" Faith smiled, "Just some time travelers who made a wrong turn because of a sun flare."

Faith had Bonnie let him go, when she was off of him Faith grabbed Donald and Slamed him against the wall. Faith then doubled up her right fist and punched Donald square in the face breaking his nose, "That's for hurting my wife you piece of shit. Now you will pack all your clothes and leave this school. This Faith will file for a divorce which you will give. You'll also leave the Time Mirror in her hands. You will request nothing in return for the divorce."

Faith looked at her counter part, "But I believe this Faith will be nice enough to leave you a little money to make a fresh start in a new state, preferably one on the other side of the country. Cause if I ever hear of you coming back here or causing any kind of trouble for her and this school. I'll return with Bonnie there and let her have you for a snack. Do I make myself clear." Donald just nodded. Faith smiled, "Good, I'm glad. Now get the hell out of here." As Donald turned to leave Faith stopped him and handed him a towl that was on the table, "And clean yourself up will ya? you're bleeding all over the place."

A few hours later Faith, Buffy, Jules, and Bonnie were about to step into the mirror again. Faith looked at her counterpart and her Buffy, "You two look good together." A few moments later the four stepped through the mirror and were now back in their own universe and time. Faith smiled, "That was intresting." Sam smiled, "What was intresting?" Buffy smiled, "Well tell you all about it at the dinning hall."

Back at the dinning hall Sam smiled, "It's a good thing you left, you could have experenced a cascade breakdown at the sub-atomic level." Shego looked up, "Uh, what does that mean?" Faith nodded, "It means we could have died there because the same matter can not occupy the same time and space. If I were to go back into time and meet myself and touched her, we both would cease to exist." Sam smiled, "We're just glad you're home safely."

Kim smiled, "The whole time Faith was gone Shego was walking around like she lost her best friend." Shego slapped Kim arm, "Hey, it's no fun around here whith her gone." Just then they heard Rachael scream, "SHEGOOOOOOO!" A moment later they seen Hermione push Rachael in her chair. Rachael screamed again, "SHEGOOOOOO!" Shego smiled, "Gotta run."

Faith looked up, "Freeze, what did you do to her?" Shego smiled, "I glued her ass to her seat. I really gotta go." Shego turned and was out the side door before Rachael and Hermione walked in. A moment later the two enetered the dinning hall and then looked at Kim, "Where is she, where that crazy girlfriend of yours?" Kim shrougged her shoulders, "Haven't seen her since she left."

Rachael smiled, "Tell her paybacks are a bitch." Rachael looked up at Hermione and smiled, "Ok babe, lets head back to the apartment so we can cut these blue jeans off." Faith laughed, "Shego sure is going to get, those were Rachael's favorite blue jeans." Kim laughed, "By the way that'll be the last time we see them for a few hours." Faith nodded quickly, "I have no problem with it."

Once Rachael and Hermione were gone Shego slipped back into the dinning hall. Faith looked at Shego and smiled, "She's gonna get you for ruining her favorite blue jeans." Shego smiled, "Doesn't she have others she likes." Faith nodded, "Yea, but those showed her figure off just right and she didn't have to wear underwear with 'em." Shego tucked her head down, "My bad." Buffy snickered, "You say that now, but as she said, Pay backs are a bitch."

At their apartment Hermione was just finishing up with cutting Rachael out of her blue jeans. Rachael sighed with a smile as she stood up naked from the waist down, "And those were my favorite." Hermione smiled, "I know but it was all done in fun." Rachael grabbed the hem of her shirt and lifted it off and then reach behind her back and undid the claps to her bra and took it off. Once that was done she bent down and took her shoes and socks off. When she was totaly naked she walked up to Hermione.

Rachael smiled, "Do you know that your wearing to much clothes?" Hermione placed her hand on Rachaels naked hips, "Maybe, what do you think you should do about it?" Rachael kissed Hermione, "I think I should take every piece of clothing you're wearing off." Hermione kissed Rachael, "Sounds fun." Rachael took Hermiones clothes off of her and smiled as she looked at Hermione's beautiful naked body.

Rachael then pulled Hermione over to the bed and pulled her down on top of herself and wrapped her legs around the girl she now loves, "Lets make love?" Hermione leaned in and kissed Rachael, "You don't have to as me twice." The two moved up onto the bed and made love for several hours before falling asleep in each others arms.

That evening Rachael and Hermione just finished taking a shower and gotten dressed. When they were done they packed a small snack and headed over to the Command Center. When they entered Rachael looked at a girl named Tracy Williams, "Anything new happen?" Tracy shook her head, "Nope it's all quiet." rachael smiled, "Ok, you can head back to your room now,. We have the night shift tonight."

Once Tracy was gone, Hermione took Rachael into her arms and slipped her hands down the back of Rachael's new blue jeans and kissed her, "We have the whole room to ourselves." Rachael nodded as she slipped her hands down Hermione's blue jeans, "Yep, but that won't last long if we get some action." Hermione sighed, "Sad but true." Just then an alarm went off. Hermione looked at the screen, "Where's that coming from?" A moment later Rachael looked in shock on what she just found, "Right outside."

The two called the others before they ran outside. Just as they got there Sam shook her head, "This isn't good, thoses ships are Al'kesh." Right above them were twelve Al'kesh bombers waiting and ready to attack.
