IVE GOT IT! Everyone (well except the general because he was still out cold) looked up at Wesley.

Wesley explained how they could defeat Glory simply by feeding her to the Hellmouth.

Yeah that would be great, Willow began, but how are we going to open the Hellmouth and close it and get Glory near it and what if she kills the Hellmouth?

A lot of questions, Wesley said, but we need to get to Mr. Giles books.

Yeah but how are we going to get there? Cordy asked.

Hello, Buffy said freeing herself from her lovers arms; Im not taking Dawn back there. I cant fight Glory shes too strong.

Yeah but we have help now Buffy. Xander said.

Were still no match for her. Shes too strong. I cant fight her. Willow cant destroy her with her magics and Spike is usually out cold by her in one blow.

Angel started smiling almost laughing toward Spike but he kept silent because this was serious.

Spike got up and said o well if you dont want my help anymore slayer

It is not that, Buffy began.  It is just were no match for her.

Thats why we need, Wesley began, the books back at the Magic shop because then alright already we get those damn books. Buffy snapped at Wesley.

But I swear if anything happens to Dawn Ill hold you responsible for that.

Aawww Giles was bringing out.

Buffy, Cordy said, Buffy hes getting worse.

Buffy ran toward where Giles was lying and held his hand.

Buffy, Cordy began again; we need to get him to a hospital.

Alrightalright, Buffy said.

Lets get out of here, Angel said, Willow you drop your barrier. Then Buffy and I will fight off the knights. Spike and Xander you help Giles. Anya and Cordy you help Tara. Wesley and Gunn try to keep the knight out of the way from everyone.

Willow once you dropped your barrier you go with Dawn. Protect her good.

Everyone surprised by Angel sudden leadership, Buffy looked relieved that she didnt have to do that, then said well what are you waiting for? Lets get a move on.

Everyone got into action now and first Willow dropped the barrier, then Buffy and Angel went outside and cleared the road in for of the rest.

Things were going according to plan but then some knights got trew Buffy and headed straight for Dawn who screamed Willow summands her magic and trew the knights far away. Wesley and Gunn fought alongside as well. Together they got to Angels car. Cordy jumped in the drivers place and started the car.

It was a bit tight but finally they managed to all fit in the car.

Dawn was between the chair of the drivers seat and the backseat.

Cody was driving.

Wesley had Giles on top of him.

Gunn also had Giles on top of him.

Xander had Anya on top of him.

Willow had Tara on top of her.

Buffy was sitting on Angels lap next to Cordy.

And Spike well Spike was in the trunk, because no one wanted to sit on him or let him sit on anyone because he still smelled so bad.

Dawn Buffy yelled.

Im here Dawn yelled from almost under Cordys seat.

Willow we need to get back to the RV. I can fix it with my magic.

Are you sure Will? Buffy asked.

Im sure, answered the witch.

They headed for the wreck of the RV.

Willow did a spell and poof the RV was just as it was.

Willow fixed the engine. And they went in.

Gunn cool, can I drive.

If you want too, Buffy said tired. But when youre tired; you better let Xander, Wesley or Spike take over. Speaking of Spike where is he?

Still in the trunk Angel laughed. I locked it.

Screaming now came from the car.

BLOODY HELL I CANT GET THE TRUNK OPEN SOMEBODY GIVE ME A HAND HERE. Angel laughed loudly now.

BLOODY HELL GET ME OUT OF HERE. Buffy too found this amusing and smiled. Wesley walked toward the trunk and opened it.

An angry Spike came out.

Its about bloody time, he said.

Dont thank me, Wesley said.

Wasnt planning to, Spike snapped back at him.

Still pissed off he entered the RV as well.

Buffy saw Dawn walking to the back and decided to get some sleep as well. Im tired Im going to get some sleep she said while she walked to the back.

Im going to get some sleep as well, Angel said, as he walked to the back and closed the door behind him.

Buffy was sitting next to Dawn and was stroking her hair while she was asleep.

He, Angel said. O he, she said back.

How are you holding up he asked.

Im not worried about me, she said, Ill be fine. I always am. But it is Dawn what Im worried about. Buffy, Angel said. You might not see this but youre doing great under all the circumstances.

He walked toward her and sat next to her. Buffy, I love you, he said, and Im not going to let anything happen to you or Dawnie if I can help it.

Im glad youre here, she said laying her head on his chest.

Im glad to be here with you and Dawn, he answered.

She fell asleep. He watched her sleeping like he used to do.

Dawn woke up and saw Buffy sleeping in Angels arms. She was still tired.

She also saw that Angel was still awake.

Im glad youre back, she whispered. She crawled into his lap as well and before she fell asleep again he whispered back: I cant believe Im lying here with my two favorite girls. Im the one whos lucky here Dawnie.

She smiled and then fell asleep; Angel watched them for a while and then fell asleep as well with his arms around Buffy and Dawn.

Meanwhile Gunn let Wesley take over driving and decided to take a quick nap himself. Tara was sleeping in Willows arms. Anya and Xander were sleeping in eachothers arms, and Spike was still awake thinking of things.

Chapter 4:

Back in front off the Magicbox Wesley said were here.

Huh mmmmh the gang woke up.

Ok, Wesley said cheerful lets hit the books.

What about Giles Willow asked.

O yeah right, Wesley answered, Xander will you take mister Gi

On it, Xander answered quickly.

Willow we should let Buffy, Angel and Dawn sleep for a while longer.

I think youre right, Cordy said, no way Im waking up a vampire or a slayer for that matter. And Dawn will be safe with them, still

Ill watch them, Gunn said.

Alright the rest lets hit the books, Wesley said.

I think Ill stay here as well, Spike said.

Never been much of a bookworm, besides the sun is up.

When it is down Im going back to my crypt for some clean clothes.

Fine, Gunn said, and then I can keep an eye on you as well.

Is it ok if Tara stays here as well? Willow asked Gunn.

Sure, Ill look after her too. He answered.

Good now hit the books everyone weve to start researching or we wont be in time.

And so Willow, Anya, Cordelia and Wesley hit the books.

Later, Xander and Giles are at the hospital.

Ben! Ben! Xander shouted.

Xander whats the matter? He asked.

Giles is injured, you got to help him. Xander said again.

Let me see, Ben said.

Xander showed Giles injury.

Ok lets get him on a bed.

Nurse! Ben shouted.

Some nurses came running to him right away.

Help me get this man on a bed.

The three of them put Giles on a bed and then Ben told Xander to wait in the waiting room.

Why do I have to do this? Cordy asked.

Because, Willow answered, if you dont the world will end.

O yeah, Cordy answered.

He I know, Anya said we can use the Dagon-sphere to hold of Glory.

The what; Wesley asked.

The Dagon-sphere, Anya said.

You lost me, Wesley said, whats the Dagon-sphere?

Its an object Buffy found on one of her patrols; Willow said, it is supposed to repel ancient evils power.

O really, Wesley began; can you show it to me?

Sure, Anya answered, Ill go get it.

Ill get it you have to run the shop, Willow said.

Ok, Anya said, thanks.

Ill come with you Willow, Cordy said, I need to get away from those books for a min.

Is he going to be ok? Xander asked Ben.

Hes going to be fine, Ben answered. Can I ask what happened?

Long story you probably wont believe or want to hear. Xander said.

No not nowaaahh

Ben whats wrong? Xander asked.

Go quickly before shes here. Ben said.

Ben Xander said. What are you talking about?

Ben changes into Glory.

Whoa, Xander screamed.

Buffy woke up in her lovers arms.

She saw he was already awake looking at her and Dawn.

O God, she began; my hair.

Shh, Angel said, Dawn is still sleeping. And you look fine.

Youre still sweet, she said, but still a terrible liar, but sweet.

Angel smiled, Dawn woke up.

Morning, she said sleepily.

Morning Dawn, Buffy and Angel said.

Well since youre awake and it is 0:32 am lets go see what everybody found. Buffy said.

Dawn stood up and before Buffy could do so too Angel lifted her up and held her in his arms.

Allow me to help you with that my lady, he said.

Buffy giggled.

Angel put her on the ground and opened the door for her.

Thank you kind sir, Buffy said.

Stop with the flirting already, Dawn said as she walked toward Gunn.

Where is everybody? Buffy asked him.

Giles and Xander are at the hospital, the vamp went to get fresh clothing and the others are inside.

Dawn walked toward Tara and said Lets go inside.

Ok, Gunn said.

Buffy, Dawn, Tara, Angel and Gunn walked inside the Magicbox.

Morning Angel, Wesley said.

Morning, Angel said.

Where are Willow and Cordy? Angel asked.

There in the basement; looking for the Dagon-sphere.

Angel looked strange at Buffy and before he could asked Buffy already read the question of his mind.

The Dagon-sphere is a strange ball that glows; it is supposed to repel ancient evil.

Willow and Cordy came up.

O, good morning, Willow said.

We found the Dagon-sphere. Cordy said as she was expecting a reward for finding it.

Willow walked toward Tara and took her to her seat.

Good, Buffy said to Cordy, but were still no match for Glory.

When I fight her she doesnt even feel the hits I give her.

Well why dont use Olavs enchanted Hammer. It is from a troll God.

To fight a God use the weapon of a God. Anya said.

This is good, thanks Anya. Buffy answered.

Here to help want to live, Anya said.

When did Giles and Xander leave? Dawn asked.

Well theyve been gone a long time, Buffy said.

Lets go to the hospital and check up on them, Angel suggested.

We do have to do more research on Glory and the Key. Wesley said.

Will you, Tara, Gunn, Anya and Wesley stay here!

Angel, Dawn and I will check up on Xander and Giles, Buffy said.

Ok Willow said. Youd better take the hammer with you in case you come up against Glory, Anya said.

Buffy took the hammer, told Angel to get Giles car keys and walked with Dawn to Giles car.

Xander ran away from Glory to Giles room.

Ah look who here? Glory said.

Get away from us you Hell-bitch, Xander said.

Yeah why should I listen to you? You little pest, Glory said.

Spike just walked in to check up on them and saw Glory standing there in Giles room.

Well, well if it isnt the ex-Hell-goddess. Spike said.

Oh it is the vamp that is in love with the slayer, thats so cute, Cordy snapped.

She walked to Spike who began to fight Glory, Glory not feeling Spike hits laughs.

Spike said to Xander, what are you waiting for get the old man out of here.

Right Xander said as he let Giles lean on him and left the room as quickly as possible.

Glory had enough she hit Spike who flew trew the wall and she walked to him as she picked him up. Ive been meaning to send the slayer a message.

As Buffy, Dawn and Angel walked in the hall of the hospital they came across Xander and Giles.

Xander what happened? Buffy asked.

Glory is back there. He answered. Spike is fighting her off so we could escape.

Dawn help Xander and get back to the Magicbox, Angel lets go.

Really well I think the post-office is already closed. Spike said.

Very funny little vampire, Glory said.

Nope it really isnt, Buffy said.

Hi there, how are you? Glory asked sarcastically.

Ill be better when I smashed your face, Buffy answered.

You, Angel said; I know you.

Huh, Glory said, who are you?

Buffy this isthis is, Angel began.

Thats Glory Angel. Buffy said.

Yeah I figured that, but she was also the one that tortured me in Hell. He said again.

Yeah you look kind of familiar. Glory said.

You dont remember? Angel asked surprised.

Of course not, Glory answered, do you know how many people Ive tortured?

I cant remember them all. But now that I think I remember you tried to escape I was about to rib your heart out and squeeze it into nothing until those stupid idiots ripped you out of my Hell and brought you back here.

You were tortured by her? Buffy asked with unbelief.

II was. Angel said.

Oh Im going to enjoy this Buffy said while she showed Glory the hammer.

Angel, get Spike out. Buffy said.

Buffy swung the hammer against Glory who flew trew another hospital wall.

YOU TORTURED MY BOYFRIEND!!! Buffy screamed at her.

She smacked Glory another time and Glory flew out the window of the 6^th floor.

Good riddance, Buffy said.

When Glory landed she changed back into Ben.

Buffy ran out and got to Giles car where Angel and Spike were waiting for her.

They drove back to the Magicbox.

Chapter 5:

Are you ok? Angel asked Buffy concerned.

Yeah, Im fine she answered, you?

You dont have to worry about me, he said.

Actually Im a bit hurt here; Spike began, could you give a kiss on where it hurts.

Angel growled at Spike. Never mind, Spike said.

But you think I deserve a little appreciation for saving your friend and watcher. Spike said.

Thank you Spike, Buffy said, she bent toward him and gave him a little kiss on his cheek.

Angel looked at him jealously.

What? Buffy said.

He said nothing, and stopped in front of the Magicbox.

Buffy pulled herself out of her seat onto Angels lap.

She gave him a deep passionate kiss and said youre the only one for me, you know that right?

He said and youre the one for me, and he kissed her again.

Ehm, fellows were here. Spike said.

Dawn, Buffy said, Ive to see if she is ok.

She quickly got up and ran into the Magicbox.

Dawn She looked around saw her sister and approached her.

Are you alright, she asked the young brunette.

Im ok Buffy, Dawn answered.

She hugged her sister and then looked for her watcher.

Are you ok? She asked the old Brit.

Im ok, her watcher answered.

And you Xander, Im fine, he answered.

Good, she said, any luck with the research?

Well we found a little more about the ritual Glory has to perform.

Well thats good, tell me. Buffy said.

Well actually, Wesley began; once the ritual has started the only way to stop it is to stop the blood from flowing.

What are you saying? Buffy asked.

To begin the ritual Dawn has to be on a certain place on a certain time.

When Dawn bleeds on that place at that time the Key will be active and dimensions will bleed into each other. All Hell will be unleashed on Earth. And the only way to stop it is to to kill Dawn. Wesley said.

Buffy almost fell on the ground but Angel caught her.

Glory is not going to take Dawn Buffy, he said.

You dont know that, she said.

Buffy Dawn is here, he said, as long as shes with us she is safe.

Youre right, she said, and besides I whooped Glorys ass this time.

But know this, she said, if the ritual starts we all die.

Buffy, Giles began, if the ritual starts

I cant do it, I cant. She said.

I killed Angel to save the world, because I knew it was right.

I dont have that anymore, I dont.

If these are the choices to live in this world, I cant live in this world.

All in favor to stop Glory before the ritual starts, say I. Anya said.

Weve to get out of here, Buffy said.

We can go to my hotel, Angel said, there is enough room for everyone there.

Hotel, Buffy asked. What happened to your apartment?

It got blown up, Angel said.

O, she said, well just let me get some things at home.

Ok Dawn lets go. Angel said.

Well meet back here in two hours.

Buffy, got into Giles car in the seat next to the drivers seat.

Dawn said in the back, Angel was driving.

She leaned on his shoulder and said Im glad youre here.

He smiled at her and then drove to Rivello Drive where Buffys house stood.

At the house Buffy saw a familiar face waiting for the door.

Dad, is that you? She asked.

Buffy, darling how are you?

Like you care, Buffy snapped at him.

Daddy, Dawn jumped out the car and hugged her father.

He Dawnie, how are you?

Im ok, she said.

Then Hank Summers turned his attention to his other daughter and said Buffy of course I care how you are. He then saw a dark haired older man and said to him and you are?

Thats Angel dad, hes my boyfriend.

Nice to meet you Mr. Summers, Angel said.

Did your mother know about him? Hank asked his daughter.

She did, and then we broke up and now were back together.

We need to talk about this, Hank said.

Do you think you have anything to say about, my choose in boyfriends daddy, Buffy snapped at him.

Im your father, Hank said, that gives

My father, Buffy began, since when?

Buffy, Hank began; I know I havent exactly been around but

Dad I havent seen you in two years or so. Buffy said.

You didnt even show up at Mums funeral because you were screwing around with your secretary.

Dont you talk to my fiancée that way, Hank said.

Fiancée, Buffy asked. You are even engaged to a woman I hardly know, I dont know you any more.

A woman came out a car parked by the house.

Im sorry Hank, she said, but I had to meet your little troublemaking kid myself.

Troublemaker, who do you think you are to say something about me while you dont even know me? Buffy said.

Hanks fiancée Sylvie, she answered.

And that give you the right to call me a troublemaker? Buffy snapped.

Now who do you think you are young lady? Sylvie said.

I told you Hank, she cant take care of Dawnie thats why we have to take her with us back to Spain.

To-to Spain, Buffy said with unbelief.

Yes to Spain, Sylvie said.

You are not taking Dawn away from me. Buffy said.

I dont think that that is your choose, Sylvie said.

Im staying with my sister, Dawn said.

Dawn, Buffy cant take care of you, you need parental supervision. Hank said.

Buffy has taken more care of me then you ever have, Dawn said to him.

Dawnie, I know I screwed up but give me, Hank began.

Dont, Dawn said.

Dont what sweetie, Hank said.

Dont call me Dawnie, I dont even know you. Dawn said; Im staying with Buffy and there is nothing you can do that will change that.

Oh, I think there is, Sylvie answered.

No there isnt, Buffy said, mom left me constancy over Dawn.

What? She left an irresponsible teenager take care of Dawn, how could she? Hank said.

I dont have the time to chitchat now, dad, I have to get to LA for a few days. Buffy said.

L.A. Hanks asked.

Im staying in Angels hotel for a few days.

His hotel, Hank pointed toward the dark haired man standing between his two daughters.

When are you going to grow up Buffy? Hank asked. That guy is probably only interested in one thing.

I know, Buffy answered; to love me, keep me happy and safe.

She crawled up in his arms holding Dawn in her own arms.

Whatever, Sylvie said, the point is that we are here to take Dawn by court if we have to we dont want her to turn out like you.

Then I guess Ill see you in court, Buffy said, because in no way Im giving up my sister.

And with out another word she opened the door and walked up the stairs to get some things.

Up in her room, I was wondering when you were going to show up.

Glory sat there on Buffys bed.

What are you doing here? Buffy asked.

Looking for my Key of course, what else do you think Im doing here?

Well I dont know stealing my make up perhaps because youre not prettier then me, Buffy said.

Angel walked in Buffy room, Buffy are you he froze when he saw Glory.

Get Dawn out of here, Buffy said to him.

Angel ran back and took Dawn saying weve to get out of here Glory is inside.

He ran trew the door and heared the fight going on inside.

He was almost to Giles car when

Where do you think your going with my daughter?

Hank saw Angel running out the house and dragging Dawn with him.

Angel thought for a second and then said There is a dangerous person in the house Buffy wanted me to take Dawn to safety.

You watch her for a minute he said grabbed the hammer and ran back into the house.

Buffy was losing the battle from Glory when Angel suddenly cam crashing back in and saw Buffy and said angrily: YOU HURT MY GIRL!! You are going to pay dearly for that!

He smacked the hammer against Glory who flew trew the open window.

He rushed to Buffy and took her in his arms gave her the hammer and carried her back out of the house.

BUFFY!! ANGEL!! HELP ME!!! Dawn was screaming because Sylvie had taken her to Hanks car and Hank was starting the engine.

Buffy jumped out Angel arms with the hammer still in her hands and hit the cars engine as hard as she could, saying you are not taking my sister away from me!

Angel opened the car door and pulled Dawn out. Holding her and then gave her to Buffy.

He pulled the drivers door out the car, he was furious, he pulled Hank out and pushed him against the car. I should kill you for doing this but because you are their father Ill spare you and your fiancée, but dont get near them again without their approval or I will kill you. With that he trew him back into the car turned around took Buffy and Dawn back inside took the stuff they needed and drove away in Giles car.

Not now you idiot! Glory yelled.

Get out of my body. Ben said as Glory changed back into Ben.

Back at the Magicbox,

Buffy what happened? Willow asked her.

I had a rather unpleasant visit from Glory and my father. Buffy answered.

Are you ok? Giles asked worried.

Yeah Im fine, thanks to Angel. She said.

You dont look that good Buffy, Cordy said.

Youre Cordy shut up Xander said. She is fine.

I am, Buffy said, but we need to get out of here.

Agreed, Giles said.

Ok, Buffy said, Giles, Wesley, Willow and Tara you take RV.

Cordy and Gunn you go also in the RV but once we get to Angels car you go further with that.

Anya and Xander go with your own car.

Dawn your with us. Well take Giles car.

Lets go, she said.

Ehh what about me? Spike asked.

Oh ehh you go in the RV as well. Buffy said.
