A.P.Dawson said i second Cassandra's suggestion and then said 
Cassandra said i damn well hope you have some proper drinks on hand 
because i definitely need a couple after flying all the way here from 
Europe with these guys.Amanda looked at him and she said Methos you 
knew that Rebecca and Richie were here didnt you.A.P.Dawson said yes 
i did Joe told me before i even came to see you guys.Duncan said then 
why the hell didnt you tell us.Methos said well Joe wanted to make 
sure it was really them before we told you anything and then he and 
Cassandra came up with the idea for a surprise reunion.Richie said 
come on lets go inside where its more comfortable and where we can 
all relax.

They all walked into the house and Cassandra led them into the 
living room.As they were walking into the living room Cassandra 
realized that there wasnt enough furniture for all of them to sit on 
in the living room.Cassandra said Methos you and Richie bring some 
chairs from around the dining room table in here.Richie said ok and 
he,Methos,and Nick all went to get chairs from around the dining room 
table.Joe said does anyone want a drink while i am up.Methos's voice 
was heard loud and clear from the dining room and he said give me a 
double of my regular.Cassandra said i will take some spring water,and 
several of the others told Joe what they would like.Buffy said i will 
take a beer which got everyone in the living room looking at 
her.Willow said correction she will have plain coke classic just like 
me and then she elbowed Buffy's arm and she said no more cave 
slayer.Buffy winced and then she looked at Willow and she said 
sorry.Cassandra said cave slayer and Buffy said its a long story and 
Willow said no its not its quite short and simple.Willow said durring 
our freshmen year at college Buffy went to a party and drank beer 
that had a magical whammy to it and the result was a slayer acting 
like a cave woman until she got the beer out of her system.Duncan 
said excuse me but what do you mean when you say slayer.Xena said a 
slayer is a woman who has the strength and fighting abilities to 
fight vampires and other supernatural threats to mankind.Duncan 
looked at Xena and he said who the hell are you and what nuthouse did 
you escape from everyone knows that vampires dont really exist.Nick 
said Duncan's right there are no vampires or things like werewolves 
and boogeymen they are just folklore and superstition that Hollywood 
and other movie groups have made movies about.Everyone in the room 
looked at them and Cassandra said actually both Vampires and 
Werewolves do really exist as do slayers like Buffy who is supposed 
to hunt them down.Buffy said Cassandra i only hunt things that are 
either killing people or planning on doing something evil.Willow said 
Cassandra you might not have realized it but Oz who is with our group 
is a werewolf.Nick said now hold on this has gone on far enough there 
are no such things as vampires,werewolves,or slayers for that 
matter.Xena said oh really and then she said what are me and 
Gabrielle then and she looked at him with her eyes glowing 
yellow.Nick who was sitting in a chair tumped it over backwards after 
seeing Xena and Gabrielle's eyes and their fangs which they were 
showing to him and the others.Buffy quickly got up off her pillow and 
she walked over to where Nick was sprawled on the floor.Buffy held 
out her hand and she said let me give you a hand up.Nick stuck out 
his hand out to Buffy who grasped it and then pulled him to his feet 
before he knew it.Buffy didnt stop there after getting him to his 
feet.Buffy took a good grip of his pants and belt with her other hand 
and then lifted him a foot off the floor.Duncan was about to jump to 
his feet to help Nick when Richie and Methos put one hand on each of 
his shoulders and held him in the chair.Duncan looked at them and 
Richie said she is just prooving to him that he was wrong she wont 
hurt him and neither will Xena or Gabrielle.Nick looked down at Buffy 
and he said how can you be so strong.Buffy said i am a slayer and i 
have enhanced strength so that i can fight vampires which are a lot 
stronger than normal humans.Duncan said if you are a vampire slayer 
why arent you going after Xena and Gabrielle since they are 
vampires.Willow said there are different types of vampires and 
slayers dont go after the type of vampire that Xena and Gabrielle are 
and anyway she has no reason to go after them.Cassandra said Buffy 
please let Nick down and then its time for introductions.Buffy let 
Nick down and then introductions got started

After the introductions were over Duncan said Cassandra i want to 
know how you removed Richie,Rebecca,and Ramirez's quickenings from me 
and bring them back to life.Cassandra said i didnt remove their 
quickenings from you that was the work of the PTB which are a lot 
more powerfull than all of us combined.Nick said who is the PTB and 
what do the do.Joe said PTB stands for Powers That Be and they dont 
have any specific jobs.Duncan said can you please go into more detail 
about the PTB.Buffy said lets just say they are the good guys who 
watch over us.Xena said actually the PTB arent only males there are 
some females among them although they all gave up their individual 
personas when they joined the PTB.Joe said you sound like you know 
some of the PTB.Gabrielle said we do or more actually we did before 
they joined the PTB.Cassandra said thats right Artemis and Athena 
joined the PTB along with several other Olympians when they found 
that their powers were waining.Duncan said dont tell me the Olympians 
really existed and Xena said I'm sorry but they did as did a number 
of the other pantheons of gods which are considered to be mythology 
now a days.Nick said what about God and Jesus do they really 
exist.Rebecca said yes they really exist and they work in conjuction 
with the PTB.Duncan said but that doesnt explain how you brought them 
back to life.Cassandra said i used an ancient mystic ritual of my 
people which was used so that people living could talk to the ones 
dead but when i did it the PTB had a hand in it and 
Richie,Ramirez,and Rebecca stepped out of the portal instead of a 
spirit.Duncan said but why would the PTB go to all the trouble of 
bringing them back to life to teach and guard Buffy and Willow when 
there were plenty of immortals they could have contacted and gotten 
them to do it.Ramirez said they wanted some immortals they could 
trust and they came to the three of us and we quickly agreed.The next 
second Buffy's watch buzzed and Buffy looked down at her watch.Buffy 
said guys i am sorry but its a quarter to five and me and Willow have 
to be going.Amanda said why where do you two have to be going.Willow 
said we have to be heading home so we can eat dinner and then get 
ready for patrol.Richie said hold on you two arent going on patrol 
tonight so you might as well stay here.Buffy said Richie you can stay 
here with your friends if you like but me and Willow are leaving and 
she and Willow stood up.Richie stood up and he said why are you two 
determined to patrol without me.Buffy said Richie this is not 
something personal we just have a job to do and we are going to do 
it.Cassandra said Richie i think that they can patrol for one night 
without you since they were doing it together for quite a while 
before you and the others were brought back to life.Willow and Buffy 
said goodbye to the others and then they walked out of the house.

Buffy and Willow climbed onto their motorcycles and they headed back 
toward the estate after putting on their helmets.About ten minutes 
after they left Cassandra's house they reached the estate's front 
gate.Willow used a laser light pointer to type in the access code and 
the gate started sliding open less than five seconds later.
