Five Points on a Pentagram
Transfers in Space

Point Two

"Ok that should be everything on the list." Xander said placing the last of
the ingredients on the table.

"So what else is left to do?" Buffy asked.

"Giles do you think you and Anya can make the potion?" Willow asked shyly
while blushing.

"Why can't you and Tara do it?" Buffy questioned.

"Ah, um well, ah." Tara babbled then Willow started where Tara left off, "We
need to, well, ah, um prepare, it's a large spell and well ah, it's just
that ah."

"They need to have sex." Anya finished.

"At least you didn't have to get a front row ticket of them doing the nasty
in your head." Cordelia replied rubbing her head after her latest vision.
They were coming about every three hours.

If Willow and Tara were red before, after Cordelia's revelation they were
the color of fire engines and looking any direction that took their gaze off
their friends.

"Ah well I should have known as much. You can use my room just change the
sheets when you are done. And don't rush, you will need all your power for
the spell." Giles said matter of factly. 

Willow simply grabbed Tara and literally ran up the stairs to get out of the
room. It was going to take hours for their embarrassment to subside.

"I missed something?" Xander asked.

"I think I missed it too, only I am not positive I want to find out?" Buffy
replied still not sure how to take the last few minutes.

"Witches use sexual magic to cast spells, the bigger the spell... Well at
least they were already orgasm buddies first. When I was a demon I always
hated doing spells when you didn't even like the person." Anya commented as
she moved things around in the kitchen.

"Honey you did spells?" Xander said trailing after Anya.

"On that note I think I should do another run through town." Buffy said 

"I think I'll go with you." Angel replied jumping up from the couch. Neither
wanted to hear the unpleasant sounds of Xander and Anya arguing or the
pleasant sounds of Willow and Tara together. Vampire and Slayer hearing had
its drawbacks at times.

"OK are we all ready." Cordelia announced taking charge of the meeting. 

After everyone was quiet Cordelia picked up her notes and began. "Ok listen
carefully this is all I could get out of my visions and it's not all that
clear. Anyway the five worlds make up the points on a pentagram. They are
the five points to this reality. Take away any of the points and all five
worlds fall. Willow is passing out your return spell kits as we speak please
hold all questions until we are finished. Then She and Tara will explain
them to you as best they can. No one leaves until they are sure you can get
yourself back here, right?" Cordelia stopped her speech and made sure
everyone was following her.

"Anyway the five worlds are all different. Some more dangerous than others."


"Plus there is no way to pick which world you end up on." Willow replied
"Which is why you are taking along several different pieces of survival
gear. Xander can go over what he has packed for each of you."

"Anyway, this is what I can tell you. On some of the worlds humans aren't
the only good guys, so be careful not to kill anything. The demons may be
the good guys. I saw a lot of souled elves and vampires in my visions that
were the good guys. On each of the different worlds you are different ages,
16 is the youngest and 21 or 22 the oldest. In my vision I saw places
without electricity with castles and stuff. In other visions I saw a pretty
bleak world like something from Blade Runner. Rain and Snow in some worlds,
deserts in others. 

"You will need to bring back the slayers, but in some of my visions you need
to bring back other people with them, and a cat. I definitely saw a cat. The
powers were very strict on this one point. Only seven humans can come back
with you. No matter how tempted you are to throw in one more person only
seven people can make the trip."

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

After everyone was briefed and everyone had their spells and survival gear
Willow and Tara started the spell. In the center of the room they had drawn
a large pentagram. In the center of it a vortex opened. One by one each
traveling member of the scooby gang entered the vortex and disappeared.

Point Three

Gunn found himself lying on a snow covered street in an area of LA he knew
well. It was cold and he opened his backpack and found some gloves and a
scarf. It was far colder than he could ever remembered LA getting. Picking
up the backpack and pulling it over his shoulder, he buttoned his coat and
started down the street.

The city was a lot like the LA he had grown up in, but there were
differences. Besides the weather, the city seemed bleaker; it wasn't hard to
see why Cornelia had described it as a little like Blade Runner. Not so much
the look of the city but the general fill it gave off. The buildings were
several floors higher than the LA of his world, and instead of combustion
engines the vehicles were electric. Gas was out lawed in the US. That little
bit of information he had picked up from a taxi driver. 

He had managed to get a cab and take it to Buffy's fathers' home address. He
had looked the address up in a phone book. He just hoped it was the right
Hank Summers. As the Taxi rounded the corner, Gunn recognized it as a
neighborhood he had dropped the slayer off in when she had been in LA
helping Angel a few months ago. Angel had asked him to see she made it
safely to her fathers' house after a pretty brutal slaying. 

Paying the driver he got out of the car and moved to the house matching the
address. He bent down and rang the doorbell. 

Joyce Summer open the door and said. "May I help you?"

"Yes I was hoping to speak to Buffy Summers?" Gunn asked.

"What has she done this time? No I don't want to know, she is your problem.
We gave up custody of her two years ago. If you people can't keep her locked
up it isn't my problem. Elizabeth, or Anne as she insists on calling herself
now, has been the bain of our existence, I honestly wish I would have just
aborted her." Joyce said with so much hate it startled Gunn. Then She
slammed the door right in his face.

Point Four

Elizabeth and Cordelia kissed their way into the kitchen. Glad that Maria
had the day off and her parents would not be home anytime soon. Cordelia
kissed Elizabeth and then pulled away. Opening the refrigerator she said, "I
got you something special for diner." 

"Besides you?" Elizabeth said pinning the cheerleader against the counter
for one last kiss. Cordelia pulled away and playfully hit Elizabeth's arm.
"Behave or I won't feed you, and you will just have to go home right this
minute." The brunette teased.

Elizabeth pulled away and crossed her arms. "I'll be good." 

"Then have a seat." 

Elizabeth continued to smile as she shifted into the form of a large Black
Panther. She purred loudly and then curled up on the floor to watch Cordelia
work. Cordelia just smiled and bent down rubbing Elizabeth behind the ears. 

The cheerleader then returned to the refrigerator and opened a large bottle
of blood. She poured herself and Elizabeth a glass then she put the bottle
back. Next she took out a fresh streak and placed it raw on a plate. Finally
she pulled out a bottle of wine. Then she placed it all on a tray. 

"I am not feeding in that form so if you want to eat you are just going to
have to shift it slayer." Cordelia said carrying the tray off to her
bedroom. Dinner in bed; it didn't get any more romantic than that she
thought to herself. 

Elizabeth still in cat form followed the vampire up to her room. Just
outside the bedroom door Elizabeth shifted back into human form and took the
tray out of Cordelia's hand. Her lover had to be the only teenager she knew
with her own locks on her bedroom door. Not that she minded. After the first
time the Chases had caught them in bed together she had been glad they had
allowed Delia to have the locks. 

The brunette quickly opened the door and let Elizabeth in. The slayer
carried the tray into the room when she noticed something wrong. "Delia
honey why do you have a human in your bed?"

Point Five

Anya found herself materializing in the middle of a kitchen. Looking over at
the redheaded woman at the sink she made her best effort at a fake smile.

"Grandmother, why didn't you tell me you were coming. The girls will be so
glad to finally meet you. Oh you haven't even meet Beth yet have you. I
think you will like her."

"Beth?" Anya asked. This wasn't her first trip into alternative worlds,
since the woman seemed to know her she decided to play along. 

"Willow's girlfriend, the one who's the slayer, I know I have told you about
her on the phone. I really wish you would have called, the house is a mess.
But I am so glad to see you." Sheila Rosenburg said as she pulled Anya into
a large strong hug. 

Point One

Giles rubbed his head. He was experiencing the worst hangover of his life.
Plus there was bright light. Lots and lots of bright lights. 

"Sir you really need to get into the shade." A female voice said in the haze
of the glaring light. Giles found himself helped to his feet. He let himself
be guided for several more steps until he reached a cave. The woman then
helped him to sit down on a rock deep inside the cave. He was glad to be out
of the heat. 

"I am known as Seraphim."

"Giles" 

"It is good to meet you Giles. I am afraid my kind do not carry water. It is
rare for us to be this far out in the desert." The woman explained. 

Giles finally got a good look at the woman and was a little shocked,
Seraphim another name for Angel. She was Angel, a female, but somehow Angel.

"Are you a vampire?" He asked surprised that she had been able to take the
sun and heat outside long enough to get him inside. 

"I have heard there were small tribes of humans on the outskirts that had
never seen our kind but I though it was a myth. I am a vampire good sir. You
really need water, do you have any in your bag?"

"Giles fumbled taking out the gloves and emergency rain coat Xander had
packed. Finally he found the small bottle of water in the bag. The vampire
helped him open the bottle and then helped him take a drink. 

"You will need to save some for later. We are far from the nearest water
hole or city."

Point One

Tara came rushing in her half sisters chambers followed by the children. "Ki
guess who was seen coming across the desert!" The young girl said bouncing
up and down like a schoolgirl. 

"Captian Riley?" Her sister said as she picked her middle daughter up and
pulled her into her lap. Ysebeth had already picked up their oldest child in
her arms. 

"Please don't make me ill." The excited teen said. 

Both Ysebeth and Ki looked at each other laughing and said, "The high
priestess." together. 

"Come on aren't you the least little bit excited." Tara said

"We're excited Tara." Ysebeth said to her sister in law. She remembered
being Tara's age once, but she had been a slayer in training at twelve. 

Point Two

Buffy and Angel carried the exhausted witches back up to bed. 

"I hope everyone is alright." The slayer said.

"Yeah, I am going to check on Oz. He was growling like crazy during the
ceremony and now he has been a little too quiet for my taste." 

"I hadn't even noticed. I'll come with you. Then I need to do a run through
town. Our little monster friends have been a little too quiet for my taste
as well."

Point Four

"Delia you don't suppose your mom has fallen off the wagon again?" Elizabeth
asked looking at the human boy in the middle of her lover's bed.

"I don't think so, she hasn't missed a HA meeting in years." Delia said
putting her arms around Elizabeth's waist and pulling herself close to her
lover.

"I take it he isn't part of the surprise you had for me tonight, because, I
mean Delia, if you want to have a glass or two of human now and again it's
no big deal, but a live donor... in the same room. I know they will give
their blood for a twenty but drinking it right out of their body." Elizabeth
replied as a shiver when down her back. 

"Ew gross, not even. Trust me I have know idea why he is in my room." 

It was at this point that Xander really began to worry. His head was already
swimming and he was having trouble following their conversation. Still he
was absolutely sure the sharp pointy claws just bearly piecing his chest
form the paw at the end of Buffy's hand in the middle of his chest shouldn't
be there. And there was something really wrong with Cordelia's reflection in
the mirror. While he was glad it was there he still felt that it really
should be solid. It was just a little to transparent and ghost like for his
taste. And while he was thinking about it, the large black tail that Buffy
was waging was differently out of place too. 

"My head hurts." Xander announced. 

"Would you like me to bite it off and remove the pain." The pissed off
slayer said.

"No I like it were it is thank you." 

"You know this has to be the wolves doing." Delia said.

"Bastard soulless Werewolves, they must have know we had plans." Elizabeth
replied.

"Elizabeth we planed to have sex, I wouldn't call that plans." Delia said
trying to put things in perspective. She loved Elizabeth but the slayer had
a lot to learn about romance. 

"You planed to have sex, ... with each other." The shocked Xander said.

"I wear the cheese it does not wear me." Bald Man, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
