CHAPTER 2
SUNNYDALE PROBLEMS
(Buffy never dated Riley in this story.)
Willow couldn't stop thinking about what had happened in the church when Buffy fought Faith. Days have passed and she still kept trying, with Tara's and Giles' help, to bring Buffy back from wherever she'd gone to.
Buffy had had the upper hand in the fight, and Willow had been happy to see the shocked look on Faith's face when Buffy's being travelled back into her own body. There was shock on Buffy's face too, and back then Willow had thought it was because of the thrill of being herself again... But as soon as Slayers' hands grabbed each other, hot wind blew around them, making Willow's and Tara's hair blow.
Willow had tried to run to Buffy, to catch her and pull her away from Faith and the wind that threatened to blow them away, but Buffy screamed: "Will, no!", utter horror drawn on her face.
"Buffy!"-Willow screamed when her best friend disappeared, blown away like a leaf.
Tara ran to hug her girlfriend, she thought Willow might pass out from the shock.
Everyone was puzzled about what had happened and Giles ran to his house to consult his books and call the Watchers' Council to lend a hand with saving Buffy and Faith. They were Slayers and they were needed in Sunnydale, not in some other dimension... if they'd survived their travel, that is.
Giles believed in Buffy with all his heart, he believed she'd find her way back somehow sooner or later. Wanting it to be rather sooner than later, he swore he'd work twenty-four-seven if he had to. He loved Buffy like she was his own daughter and he feared for her more than anything.
"Will, it's gonna be ok..."-Tara said, holding her shivering girlfriend close.
"Yeah... we'll get her out of there, that's what we do..."-Xander said, trying to sound brave and hopeful.
"I know a thing or two about dimensions, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to get her back here... She's only been gone for a few days in our reality, but where she is now... we don't know how fast the time moved there, she could be in there for weeks at this very moment."-Anya said, wondering if Buffy was even still alive...
Tara noticed her girlfriend had gotten lost in her thoughts again and she gently embraced Willow and asked: "Are you ok? You look tired..."
Willow's eyes teared up and she said: "I'm exhausted, baby... But we need Buffy back... If she's... if she's even still alive."
"She is... I'm sure she's alive and kicking ass in the other dimension too."-Tara said, hoping her words were true.
"Yeah, unless Faith finally completed her mission and killed her."-a tear ran down red head's face and Tara held her closer and tighter, which made Willow cry out loud, breaking down in tears.
Tara tried her best to make her calm down, but her girlfriend was just so sad...
Joyce had almost passed out when they'd told her about her daughter's travelling to possibly another dimension, and ever since Buffy's departure, she was all nervous and worried sick, taking some pills to help her calm down. Buffy was the only thing on her mind the whole time and she kept glancing at the door, hoping her daughter would run through it and yell: "Hey mom, I'm home!"
Buffy's friends and Mr. Giles were by her side, and Joyce was grateful for it, she thought she would have lost her mind if she'd stayed alone.
A knock on the door made her jump a little and she ran to it, a part of her, as always, hoping it was Buffy. She was disappointed a little when it turned out to be Mr. Giles, as she kept calling him, but she managed to give him a little weak smile and say: "Hello, Mr. Giles... any news?"
She knew there would be no news about her daughter, but she just had to ask... The look on Giles' face said enough and he rubbed his eyes, exhausted from all the reading and even Internet searching and calling all the people he thought might help.
"I'm afraid not, Joyce. Call me Rupert, please. Can I come in? I just wanted some company and a cup of tea, I haven't been out of my house since Buffy... left."
"Oh, of course... Come in, Mr.... um, Rupert. I could use some company too."
Giles sat down on the couch and picked up a frame with Buffy's photo from the drawer next to it. He looked at it and whispered: "Where are you, Buffy?", gently moving his finger over the photo. His eyes teared up and he wiped them with a handkerchief.
Joyce got touched when she saw Giles cry and she figured he really loved her daughter more than she thought. She brought a tray with two cups of tea, sugar and milk, and some cookies, and placed it on the table in front of Giles.
"Thank you."-Giles said, his voice cracking from the tears he was holding back.
"You love Buffy a lot, don't you?"-Joyce asked, grateful that she had someone to share her pain with.
"Like she's my own daughter..."-Giles said and wiped his eyes again before pouring a cup of tea for Joyce and himself.
"Do you think we'll ever see her again?"-Joyce asked, noticing Giles kept looking at Buffy's photo as if his own thoughts might make Buffy jump out of the frame and into their arms.
"I'll do everything in my power to bring her back, Joyce, I swear."-Giles promised and gently squeezed Joyce's hand.
They sipped their tea in silence, which wasn't deafening as usually, but comforting...
"Xander, you have to go to work, stop being stupid!"-Anya tried to drag her depressed boyfriend out of bed. Since Buffy had gone, she had to literally pull him out of bed every morning.
"An, please... I can't keep pretending everything's peachy and shiny when my best friend's not around anymore."
"Buffy wouldn't want you to lose your job!"-Anya said, for the umptenth time and Xander groaned and covered his head with a pillow.
"I SHOULD HAVE PULLED HER AWAY FROM FAITH WHEN THAT WIND STARTED BLOWING! I FROZE LIKE A LITTLE GIRL AND JUST STARED AT HER AS SHE WAS BEING BLOWN AWAY!"-Xander finally said what had been bothering him for so long.
Anya pulled him into a hug and said: "It's not your fault, silly... That wind would have probably taken you with them anyway..."
"I should have tried..."-Xander sobbed, not ashamed of the tears that were streaming down his cheeks.
"Come on, sweetie, just get dressed and go to work, you'll feel better when you take your mind off of Buffy for a few hours."
"That never happens. I miss her."
"I miss her too, Xander. I found her annoying at times, but she always fixed stuff, saved our asses in the end. And we never thanked her."
Xander never heard Anya say anything like that about Buffy and it touched him to the core. He hugged her tighter and whispered: "We're gonna thank her..."
"Yes, we are..."
