"Mom you can't be serious."
"Clark call Buffy just trust me on this."
"But she was such an airhead when she lived here."
"Clark she lives in Sunnydale."
"On the Hellmouth?"
"She's a Slayer so she should be able to help against these vampire attacks."
"It's so strange to be having a conversation with vampires in it."
"Is it any stranger than you being from another planet?"
"Good point."
After kissing his mom goodbye he sped off to Sunnydale and knocked on the door. He still remembered the little girl so he had no idea what to expect. A pretty redhead answered the door.
"Is Buffy here?"
"Will who's at the door?"
Willow opened the door showing Clark standing there.
"Clark?"
"Long time no see."
"Come in."
"Thanks."
On the couch were two girls and a guy and a younger girl sitting on the floor.
"Everyone this is Clark. The last time I saw him he was like three feet tall. We lived in Smallville before moving to LA."
"So do you have any embarrassing stories about Buffy?"
"Xander shut up. This is Willow, Tara, Anya, and my little sister Dawn."
"I'm taller than you Buffy."
"So you know my secret. What about your secret? I saw that look Tara gave you. So what's the what? Also I talked to your mom about five minutes ago and now you're here and I'm pretty sure it would take a lot longer to get here if you weren't hiding something."
Xander walked over to Clark and put his hand on his shoulder.
"Come on spill my friend for we have heard it all witches, vampires, demons, and keys."
Clark looked at the group he had just met and felt like he could just trust them which was so unusual since very few people knew about his secret.
"I'm from another planet."
"Cool a hot alien."
"Dawn!"
"Which one?"
"Krypton."
"I went there once. So you must have come here before your planet went kablooey."
"Anya!"
"How did you?"
"Back in my demon days I granted a wish for this one girl. I can't remember her name but..."
"An remember Clark's here for help not for stories from your demon days."
"Sorry I'll go make some popcorn."
She went into the kitchen and put a bag of popcorn into the microwave.
"There aren't two of her in the world."
"Clark sit and tell us what the sitch is."
He sat on the couch and told them about the vampire nest and Lana the girl he loved beng turned into a vampire.
"Yikes that's rough."
"Buffy's ex boyfriend's a vampire."
"Dawn!"
"Well it's true."
"Can you fly or something?"
"Yes and I'll be able to take you."
"Guys look after things while I'm gone."
"Sure no problemo the Slayerettes are on the job."
"Does that mean I get to be Nighthawk again?"
"I'll need weapons."
Buffy walked over to the weapons chest and grabbed a bag to put in some stakes along with a crossbow. She went upstairs to grab a change of clothes and went back downstairs.
"Ok I'm ready to go."
The microwave beeped and Anya walked in pulling open the bag of popcorn."
"Popcorn anyone?"
Every was walking out the door so Anya went outside to see the very attractive very muscled man fly off with Buffy.
"Popcorn?"
"Sure An."
Everyone walked back inside where they found Spike on the couch eating the popcorn which he'd put into a bowl.
"Needs blood and salt."
Buffy loved flying and wished that it was a Slayer power. Before she knew it he set her down in front of a farm house complete with cows grazing along with a stable and horses.
"So where's the vampire nest?"
"They're in an abandoned farm on the outskirts of town."
"So are you ready to go?"
"There's something I should tell you before we go. I can't fight."
"Why you're a strong farm boy alien?"
"This will sound weird but I seem to be allergic to them. I grow very weak in their presence. I think there's something different about these vampires since I've encountered them in the past without having this problem."
"I do remember this place having its share of weirdness like that boy losing his hair in the cornfield or something?"
"That would be Lex and yes he's still bald."
"Why don't you stay here and just point me in the right direction."
The door opened and a blonde girl with short hair stepped outside.
"I thought I heard someone out here."
"Chloe this is Buffy."
"So you're the Slayer?"
"That's me. I should probably go."
"I'll take you there."
Clark grabbed Buffy and before she could say I'm the chosen one she was put down.
"Get gone."
Buffy heard voices so she walked over to the barn and peeked inside where there were four vampires. Firing her crossbow she walked inside and said, "Can I join the party of do I need an invite?"
"Slayer!"
"Yep that's me."
Buffy pulled out a staked and staked a second one that was near her.
"So who's next?"
She dusted three of them leaving one girl left who had stayed out of the fighting.
"Let me guess you're Lana."
"How did you?"
"A little bird told me. So are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?"
Lana ran towards Buffy making it very easy for Buffy to stake her.
"Well that was a nice change of pace. I wonder if that Chloe knows how to cook because I'm hungry. I hope I don't get jet lag from flying here."
She walked back to the farm house where Chloe made her an omelet and told them what had happened. After she ate Clark flew her home.
"Poor guy I know how you feel but at least you didn't have to kill the one you love like I did."
