Timeline: Buffy Season 6- right before the singing episode(sorry, don't remember the title) There are a few changes, Willow moved back in the dorms right after Buffy was brought back and Xander moved in with Buffy. Buffy hasn't been spend as much time with Spike as she did in the TV show, but instead has been hanging with Xander, which has led to Anya leaving. Star Wars- well during Attack of the Clones of course.

It was cool, boring night as Buffy and Xander patrolled together in the park. There was no activity in the undead world. The undead were…well, dead tonight. But that was alright with Buffy, because it meant that she was able to spend some alone time with Xander, even if was just silent walk at night.

A few months ago, Buffy had given her life to save the world, and short time after that her friends had brought her back. Being brought back from the dead is not an easy thing to recover from. For a while, things did not seem real to Buffy and she really didn't show much emotion. This started to have a strain on her relationship with her friends and sister. She started to grow distant from everyone. However there was one person who stood by her and helped take care of her and her sister, Dawn. That was the man patrolling with.

After she was brought back to the land of the living, Xander moved in and help take care of her while she recovered. He helped around the house, helped Dawn and even put up with Buffy's moping. After some time, when Buffy started to come back to her senses, she started to find she was forming new feelings towards him.

Helping Buffy did have a consequence for Xander. His girlfriend, Anya, started to get jealous and broke up with him a week ago. Xander didn't talk about it and when Buffy or Dawn tried to talk to him about it, he would just smile and say 'it wasn't meant to be'.

Buffy felt the cool air get a little colder, so she zipped up her sweater. She looked at Xander and could see that he was deep in thought. He had done so much for her in the time that she has known and recently, lost his girlfriend because of it.

Buffy thought it would be a good time to talk to Xander about a nightmare she started having three nights ago. In it, she is in a completely dark room or hallway. She can't tell, because it's dark. In this dark room or hallway there is someone coming after her, and she is scared as hell. Buffy had this nightmare for the first time three nights ago and again last night. It probably had to do with the fact that she was dead not too long ago and she still had some issues to deal with. She was about to talk to Xander about it, but then decided to wait for now. Instead, she would talk to him about something else. She wasn't sure, just anything that wasn't gloomy.

Buffy stopped walking and said "Penny for your thoughts"

Xander stopped, looked at her and laughed "Now Buffy, I know that I'm not the brightest of the group, but I would like to think that my thoughts are worth more then just a penny"

Buffy laughed and then said "Serious, what's on your mind"

Xander was about to tell her what he was thinking about until he saw that something in the distance had caught Buffy's attention. Xander looked towards what she was looking at and saw a group of bushes.

"Get ready" Buffy said and ran towards and into the bushes.

Xander heard the sound of a struggle and then a blond man in a leather duster flew out and landed on his back. Xander instantly reconsider him, Spike.

"Spike!" Buffy yelled at him as she stormed out of the bushes "What were you doing in there! Spying on me!"

It was really no surprise that Spike was spying on Buffy. He had developed an unhealthy obsession with her.

"Spying on you!" Spike yelled back, trying to act surprised by the accusation "Love, I was just making sure you were okay!" Spike got up and brushed himself off "Then you suddenly attack me for no reason"

"Guys" Xander called out lightly to them

"No Reason!" Buffy replied "You were hiding in the bushes like…well, like a vampire getting ready to attack!"

"Guys" Xander called out again, but a little louder this time.

"I didn't approach you right away, because you have been so moody lately that I was afraid you might attack me. I can see my fears were justified!" Spike defended

"Guys!" Xander finally yelled out as he walked up to the two of them

Both Buffy and Spike looked at Xander to see him looking up as he said "What the hell is that!"

Buffy and Spike looked up to see a misty blue swirl heading towards them from the night sky.

The swirl stopped high above them and stayed there. After a few seconds, Buffy said "Maybe we should leave before" She didn't get to say another word as suddenly the blue swirl flashes brightly and turns into a wormhole that expands wide enough to fit all of them. The wormhole reminded Xander of the wormhole in the show 'Sliders'.

The wind around them starts to pick up.

The wind was only strong enough for swirling around leaves and having them get sucked into the wormhole. That's what it looked like to Buffy and Xander at first, until they heard Spike yell out "Bloody Hell!"

They turned to see Spike getting lift off the ground towards the wormhole. Both Buffy and Xander quickly grabbed Spike by the legs, but whatever invisible force had a hold of Spike was much stronger and eventually he was pulled out of their grasp. They both watched as Spike disappeared into the wormhole.

Before anything could be said, Buffy suddenly felt herself being pulled off the ground.

"Xander!" she cried out

Once Xander saw what was happening, he wasted no time in grabbing her by the arm and she in turn grabbed his and held on tightly. Buffy was hanging upside down as the two held on to each other. But as before, the wormhole had a tighter hold and Buffy started to be pulled up and Xander started to be pulled up with her considering he would not let go.

Buffy knew she was doomed and didn't want to doom Xander too "Xander, let go of me" she commanded

"That's not happening" Xander firmly replied as he felt himself being lifted off the ground.

Buffy knew that Xander wasn't going to let go, so she was going to have to make him. She squeezed his arm so tight that it caused his hand shoot open in pain. Once Xander let go, Buffy released her grip.

Xander fell on his butt and looked up to see Buffy disappear into the wormhole. He felt terrible, he had just failed Buffy and now she was gone. A sadness spread threw his body and he was overcome with weak feeling and a weightless feeling like he was being lifted off the ground…in fact he was being lifted off the ground.

Xander didn't fight back. Hell, how could he? He just let the wormhole pull him up and into it. Where ever it had taken Buffy and Spike, he would soon follow.

Xander looked up and as he got pulled threw the swirling blue tunnel. After a few seconds of travel threw it, there was suddenly a bright flash of light and he found himself traveling threw space at a very high speed.

It was as if Xander had jumped to another show, from Sliders to Stargate. He was traveling threw space with a stream of white light above and below him and the stars to each side. It was almost like a roller coaster as he would be going up, then suddenly down and after, quick shift to the right. Xander would be having the time of his life, if he wasn't afraid for it. The worst part was he couldn't see anything but the ride ahead of him. He want to look at his arms, legs or body, but couldn't. He wanted to close his eyes, but couldn't. He wanted to grab a hold of himself or even move a part of his body, but couldn't. He felt as if he wasn't whole, but a stream of consciousness.

The trip lasted about a half a minute more before there was another flash of light and then all Xander saw was a large brick road as he came crashing down on it face first.

Xander rolled on his back as he held the side of his face that had hit the road. His eyes were closed as pain shoot threw that side.

As Xander lay there, he felt a familiar touch on his shoulders and a familiar voice says his name "Xander"

Xander opened his eyes to see Buffy kneeled down next to him. It was day time and the way the sun's light hit Buffy's face made her look like an angel, which made him ask "Are we dead and in heaven?"

"No" Buffy answered and looked straight ahead "But I don't think we're in Sunnydale anymore…or Earth for that fact"

Xander started to sit up to see what she was looking at, but a wave of dizziness came over him.

"Slowly" Buffy said as she helps him up "It takes awhile for the effects of the trip to wear off"

The wave of dizziness wore off and Xander was finally able to see what Buffy was looking at. In the distance, at the end of the road that they were on, was a huge city. But it was not like any city they had ever seen before; it was like something out of the renaissance era, if the renaissance was high tech. Some of the buildings were huge dome like structures and there were ships flying to and from the city in the sky above it. It was such a sight to see, Xander nearly felt his heart stop for a moment.

"Wow" was all Xander could say

"That just about covers it" Buffy responded

"Oh bloody hell" Spike said as he came walking up to them, holding his shoulder "I think I hurt my shoulder in the landing"

Spike stopped as he saw both Buffy and Xander staring at him in disbelief "What?" he asked, then saw the city and asked "Where in the hell are we?" However he didn't get an answer, as Buffy and Xander were still staring at him with the same look of disbelief

Finally Buffy said "Spike, do you happen to know what time of day it is?"

Spike was a little confused by her question and decided to check his watch. When he looked at his wrist and remembered he didn't have a watch, he looked up and saw the…Sun! He was out during the day in the sun!

"Oh Shit!" Spike screamed as he used his leather duster as a cover. He frantically looked around and saw some trees close by and decided to run to them, but before he could go, Buffy grabbed him by the arm

"Buffy let go, I'm going to bust into flames if I don't get out of the sun!" Spike screamed at her

"Spike, you aren't busting into flames" Buffy said as she pulled the duster off him "You aren't even smoking"

Spike realized she was right and looked himself over and then looked up at the sun.

"Wow" Spike muttered

"Yeah, there seems to be a lot of 'Wows' going around" Buffy said and handed his duster back to him

"You are still a vampire, right?" Xander asked

Spike morphed into his vampire face and then back to his human face "Yeah, still a vampire"

Xander threw his hands up in the air "Then why aren't you going up in flames or smoke or something"

Before anything else could be said, the sound of a horn caught their attention. They all looked down the road in the opposite direction of the city, to see some type of vehicle heading towards them. This vehicle had no wheels; it just hovered on the road. It made a honking noise again as it came close and Buffy, Xander and Spike quickly moved to the side of the road and out of its way.

As the hovering vehicle passed them by, a man from inside it shouted "Try staying out of the road you sons of nerfs"

The three of them watch in shock as the vehicle drove towards the city, but that wasn't the last surprise they got. Walking or flopping from the direction of the city towards them was some sort of half man, half fish person. It had the body of a man although its hands and feet were webbed and its skin was gray. Its face looked like it was part cat fish. The cloths it was wearing made it look like a hillbilly. It didn't look dangerous but Buffy wasn't taking any chances. She took up a fighting stance and Spike did the same. Xander stood behind Buffy, ready to assist her if needed.

As the fish man got close to them it waved at them and said "Howsa yousa doing?" and then continued past them.

Buffy watched as the fish man walked away and she still wasn't sure if she should let her guard down. She hadn't decided if it was harmless or not. However, she didn't get to make that decision as suddenly her head started to feel dizzy and her world started to spin. Buffy felt her legs give out and the last thing she remembers before everything when black was hearing Xander call out her name in a panic.
