Summary: Buffy Dreams, everyone wakes up
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Previously:

Back in Buffy?s living room, she begins gasping for air as she lies in Buffy?s arms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buffy wakes up to find Willow channel surfing. She settles on NewsRadio. Jimmy James is taking questions about his book, which had been translated into Japanese and back again.

?So then did the American yum yum clown monkey also represent the FCC??

?Yeah it did, thanks alot!?

?What did you mean when you said, ?feel my skills, donkey donkey donkey donkey donkey??.? The same man asks. Jimmy can only sigh.

?I really liked this show, Lisa is HOT!? Willow comments.

?I dunno, I always had a thing for Beth myself.? Buffy replies to her girlfriend.

?I wonder why?? Willow mockingly asks as she snuggles deeper into Buffy?s embrace.

?What do you say we take this someplace more private, like my room??

?Good idea, I?ll be right up.? Satisfied that her girlfriend would soon be joining her again, Buffy crawls out from under her and heads for her room, taking the stairs two at a time. As she starts down the hall, the first rays of the sun coming through the window in the spare bedroom make her notice that the bed is unkempt.

?Faith and I just made that bed.?

?That was before it was being used.? Tara tells her.

?By who?? Buffy asks.

?The early morning light.? Tara answers.

?But it?s so late.? Buffy says as she notes that the nearby clock radio reads 7:30.

?That clock has no meaning anymore.? Tara informs her. ?When the time is right, I want you to give this to Faith.? She said as she hands the slayer a key.

?What is this supposed to mean? How will I know that the time is right? And Faith is in prison. Does this mean I am supposed to break her out?? Buffy questions the goddess.

?Trust me, you will know.? Aphrodite responds as she hugs her. ?Athena and I are very proud of you and will always watch over you.?

?Athena? As in??

?Wisdom and beauty are a powerful combination.? Athena responds as she fades into existence.

?Will has both of them.? Buffy couldn?t help but to compare Athena to some actress named Jolene something she saw a few weeks ago in some movie about Jason and the Argonauts, only with long black locks instead of blonde.

?As do you.? Aphrodite adds.

?Any other wise words?? Buffy asks.

?Doctors are glorious.? Athena offers.

?Hunh? Odd and cryptic much? Can?t you ever say anything directly??

?Unfortunately we?re not allowed. Again, you will understand in time. Now come Athena, I need you to rip my clothes off.? With that, the goddesses fade out of sight. Buffy leaves the spare room and continues down the hall to her bedroom. Only as she?s walking down the hall, it seems longer than what it had been and was even changing it?s décor and luminescence till Buffy realizes she?s now on campus. In the distance she thinks she hears a low growl, but can?t be sure. She notices there?s a hole in a nearby wall and that there is someone actually within the wall. She approaches it to find a Viking chanting.

?Spam! Spam! Spam! Spam! Wonderful Spam, Glorious Spam.? Just then, some maintenance workers come up and begin repairing the hole. This causes a group of students to become infuriated and they began protesting, claiming that the workers are violating the hole?s right to exist. Buffy looks towards where she just came from to find John Cleese dressed as a Penguin.

?And now for something completely different? He says. Buffy turns to find she?s in the cafeteria of the old high school, except she doesn?t recognize any of the students.

?I?m Zach Siler, I was wondering if you were seeing anyone??

?Yeah, I?m with Willow now.? Buffy answers. She can?t put her finger on it, but there is just something she did not like about this guy. Aside from the fact that he was hitting on her of course. Plus, he reminds her of that guy that played ?Chico? for some reason.

?I?m never going to live this down. First Laney tells me she?s seeing some girl named Faith, and now you? How many lesbians are there in this school??

?Faith?s out of prison? And dating a GIRL? Where is she?? Buffy asks upon hearing Faith?s name.

?I don?t know where this ?Faith? is, but Laney is probably off painting in the art room, art loving dyke that she is.? Buffy delivers a slayer enhanced punch directly to his jaw, and takes off towards the art room. Again, she swears she hears growling, as if some wild animal were stalking her. Also, she finds the hall changing again until she realizes she is coming up on a prison visiting area. Sure enough she finds Faith sitting behind the Plexiglas of one of the cubicles. Buffy picks up the phone.

?I was wondering when you were going to show up again.? Faith says to her.

?I?ve never?OH! You don?t mean prison do you.?

?Nope. Listen, I?m sure you won?t believe me, but I do want to reform, want to be a better person. I?m not asking for your approval or forgiveness or anything.?

?Actually, I think I am supposed to give it to you. And this.? Buffy says as she holds up the key Aphrodite gave her, making no attempt to hide it from the guards nor actually give it to Faith. ?No idea what it means or anything, but apparently I will at some point. And something about Doctors being glorious.?

?Ok, now that is wicked weird.?

?That?s kinda what I said.?

?So, think I will be seeing you again soon? I do miss you.?

?I?m with Willow.?

?Bout time. I accepted a long time ago you were hers. I didn?t take it well at first. I think you might have noticed. So, think if I ever get out, I could watch? Or maybe join??

?Gonna have to say no to that. But, you might see us scantily clad from time to time, and what?s wrong with the occasional hug lingering a bit longer than it should.?

?Guess I have to take what I can get.? Just then, the growling intensifies. ?What?s that?? Faith inquires.

?Not sure, but I don?t think it?s good. I have to go. Goodbye Faith.? Buffy gets up and leaves. As she walks out the door, she finds she?s now in the Bronze. Christopher Walken is on stage.

?Ladies?and gentlemen?..Tonight?.I would like to sing for you?.. Lynyrd Skynyrd?..in the style?. of Bob Dylan.? The band begins playing a folk rock version of the song ?Gimmie Three Steps?. ?I was??..cutting a RUUUUUG?..down at a place??called the JUUUUUG.?

?Isn?t he great?? Spike asks walking up to her.

?Spike?.I staked you. Why are you here??

?So you can stake me again. Here? He replies as he hands her a stake. She takes, and drives it deep into his unbeating heart. She then storms the stage and attacks Walken. She plunges the stake into his heart, but he keeps on singing.

?WHY! WON?T! YOU! DIE! CHRISTOPHER! WALKEN!? she asks as she continues to stake him. She soon begins noticing wires are being exposed. ?You?re a robot! That explains a lot. Hey, look over there! It?s my girlfriend with the red hair. Damn, is she ever hot.? Buffy got down off the stage and made her way over to Willow. As she neared where Willow was sitting, she saw that Faith was sitting with her.

?You look great B!? Faith compliments her.

?Thanks Fai?..you?re not her are you.?

?Oh, I am. But I?m not here, so I won?t hear you now. I?m just here cause for whatever reason, you want me to be.?

?Faith, you?re a very attractive girl, a person would have to be blind not to see that. I?ll admit, I?ve soaked my panties a few times because of you. But, if we were ever to get together, all it would be is hot, sweaty sex. Not saying that?s a bad thing, but I want more than that out of a relationship. With Willow, I get the hot sex AND the friendship thing. You and I could never have what I do with her. I?m sure if you ever do get out of prison, you will find a wonderful?woman, most likely, that will love you like I can?t. You told me before you weren?t looking for my forgiveness, but that?s why you?re here, to prove to me that I can forgive you. Like it or not, you are a part of me.? Just then, there was more growling, louder than before, very close by. ?That?s the first slayer, I realize it now. She?s not here to do me harm. She?s a symbol of you, and she brings me bits of the others also.? Buffy turns to find the first slayer next to her. Before she can acknowledge her, a bald man with steps in front of her, waving pieces of cheese at her and just as quickly steps away. As Buffy accepts what the cave slayer has brought her, she wakes up along with the others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

?Now, why did the first slayer nearly kill us in our dreams again?? Xander asks.

?It was from a higher power, showing us how we are all linked to Buffy. We woke just after we were attacked, before we died, as we should have.? Giles explains.

?Then why didn?t it try and kill me. Why did Tara or Aphrodite or whoever it was supposed to be tell me it wasn?t coming after me because I was not there?? Anya asks.

?I don?t know. Maybe part of the enjoining spell. Whatever it was, it was harmless? Giles offers.

?Still, it was freaky. You could have warned us.? Xander points out.

?I said there could be dire consequences.? Giles defends himself.

?You say that about that song ?Money For Nothing.? Buffy tries to point out.

?No, I said that?s Dire Straits. Regardless, we came out of this unharmed, and we should just accept them as simple dreams, no matter what occurred.?

?At least you guys didn?t dream about Christopher Walken and the weird dude with the cheese. I have no idea where they came from.? Buffy says as she heads off to the kitchen to get the coffee pot. The other four stare at each other out of curiosity and disbelief.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seven years and one month later, Sunnydale

?I still can?t believe you are marrying my sister today!? Buffy excited announces to Faith. ?Just think, if the council hadn?t pulled some strings to get you out of prison to help fight Glory, the past six years could have gone much worse.?

?Good thing I remembered what you told me in that?dream I had in prison. My god Buffy, I get why you were supposed to give me the key now!?

?Dawn! They were telling me to approve of this wedding.?

?I mean, seeing as how you?re married to a woman, if you hadn?t of approved it would have meant you didn?t forgive me.?

?I told you I did.?

?I know Buffy, but the approval was proof.? Nearly as soon as the words left Faith?s mouth, Aphrodite and Athena reappeared for the first time in over seven years.

?We told you you would understand. This wedding carries our blessing, as did yours and Willow?s Buffy. Had you not realized your bonds, you would have died two years later Buffy. Your resurrection would have set forth a chain of events leading to the destruction of Sunnydale, and many deaths that should not have occurred. All though, it would still have lead to what we are about to give you. All potential slayers throughout the world will be activated. You two are no longer the only slayers. You will live the rest of your very long lives happily and burden free.?
