Alternate Universe

************************************************************************

Somewhere in Sunnydale.......

	The loud music blared out of the new five cd disc changer, full 
with surround sound stereo and sonic boom. 'Bad Reputation' by 
Halfcocked boomed through the house, shaking dishes in the cabinets and 
knocking various things over. The dark haired vampire in the living room 
closed the newspaper with a huff and stood, making it's way to the back 
room that it's childe was currently destroying. 

	"SPIKE!" the voice boomed over the sound of the music. Spike 
paid no heed to Angel, but continued jumping around the room and singing 
with the music.

	Angel walked over to the stereo and flipped the off switch. 
Immediatly, Spike spun around with yellow eyes glaring."Sire!! Turn 
that back on!"

	"Spike, the entire neighborhood is going to call the cops on 
us and then we'll be stuck in a cell and they will probably release 
us sometime during the DAY! Turn it down to a minimum. I don't appreciate 
having my things destroyed by music!" with that Angel turned and slammed 
the door to the room, knocking over a Rolling Stones shotglass off the 
counter, causing it to shatter on the floor. Spike's eyes flared with 
furry. That had cost nearly a hundred bucks, and they were very hard to 
find now adays. Storming out of the room, Spike came to a stop in front 
of the now reading Angel again.

	"Your such a bitch." She growled holding out the broken peices of 
the shotglass in her hand. "Look what you did! I can't get that anywhere 
else." Angel felt a slight tug on her heart. She wanted to say sorry, 
but her childe had to learn. Spike fought back tears. Sometimes she hated 
being a girl...

***********

	"Why the bloody hell am I helping you anyways?" Spike 
groaned as he, Angel and Xander snuck up to the demon's lair.

	Angel sighed, "Because Spike, for the last time, Gunn and 
Wesley are on vacation and Cordelia is working on papers at the 
office." 

	"And besides, if you didn't help deadboy, Buffy would stake 
your ass. Remember now, fangless?" Xander quiped, earning him a slap 
on the back of the head to which Spike grabbed his head in pain.

	Xander laughed. "It was worth it!"

	"Quiet! Both of you, we are here." Angel started."Now, listen, 
we go in, Xander, you distract him from the front, Spike, you grab the 
gem and I'll slice his head off from the back. Got it?"

	"Got it." Came two replies.

	"On three. One...two...three!"

	On three the three guys rushed into the room, disrupting the demon 
with three horns and green slimey skin who was busy performing a ritual. 
It hissed at them as they came closer and Angel chopped off it's head 
with a sickening crunch. Spike grabbed the gem off the stand in the corner, 
surrounded by strange objects and bowls of stuff. Suddenly, the gem 
started to glow and a strange wind picked up in the room.

	"Sire?!" Spike yelled over the wind catching both of their attention. 
All three stared at the gem as Spike threw it and it stopped in the center 
of the room exploding out in a lavender light. All three started yelling 
as they were pulled toward the light. Struggling to get away as fast as 
they could, but it was no use. The door slammed shut, trapping them in the 
room as a vortex started in the center of the room causing everything 
to swirl around the room and into it, including the guys. Moments after 
being sucked, yelling into the vortex, it closed in on itself, gem and men 
gone.

**********

	Spike, Angel and Xander landed with a thud on the ground of a 
cemetary. Knocked unconcious from the fall the three didn't notice when 
a man of about 21 or so came running up, stake in hand. He had dirty 
blond hair that didn't look natural and leather outfit. He was skinny 
and in good shape.

	"Will!" he yelled. Another man with frisky red hair ran up and came 
to a hault. 

	"Brandon? What's wrong?" he looked at the figures on the ground.
"Who are they?"

	"I don't know, but I feel like a strange vibe comin on here. We'd 
better see if we can get them back to Giles'. Maybe she'll know." he said 
walking over to the guys.

	"Hey, hey, come on! Wake up!" the guys groaned as Brandon nudged 
them with his foot.

	"What the bloody hell?" Spike groaned sitting up and grabbing his 
head.

	Brandon knelt down before them. Spike looked up. "Who are you?" 
He suddenly got a bad feeling. This was a slayer....a MAN slayer? How did 
that happen.

	"I have a feeling you know who I am. And I know what you are, 
so why aren't I staking you?" Brandon asked standing again and holding out 
a hand to help. The other two guys were starting to come around. Angel 
slowly stood then pulled Xander up.

	"HEY! What'd we miss??" came a voice from behind them.

	"Oh great." Brandon rolled his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

	"Calm down slayer, don't loose your boxers. Just came to see my 
boy." the girl grinned. 
		
	The three newcomers turned to see three more people approaching. 
Angel and Spike knew right away that two of them were vampires and the 
other was human. The one that had spoken already was a vampire, as was the 
dark haired one. That one seemed to be glaring at the other vampire. The 
one approaching the red headed man who was...blushing? had blond hair, 
obviously bleached, that reached down to the middle of her back and wore a 
long leather duster like Spike's but it fit better to her figure. She was 
tall and lean and had cheekbones, especially amazingly like Spike's. They 
could have been twins the three newcomers noticed.

	"Spike. What have I told you about interupting slaying time. You 
might end up with a stake through that bleached little chest of yours." 
The man named Brandon glared at the blond girl as she approached the red 
haired guy.

	"Ahh, cork it slayer." she grinned jumping up to hook her legs 
around the red haired man's waist as he grabbed her under her thighs 
to keep her up. 

	"Will....can't you at least tame her a LITTLE!" Bradon moaned.

	Will simply shrugged as the blond headed 'Spike' leaned 
in for a ferocious kiss before jumping down. She was about the same height 
as Will and had a grin on her face that just reeked of dead innocence.

	"Wait, wait!" Spike yelled from his position by the now standing 
Angel and Xander. He pointed at the blond haired girl. "Her name is 
Spike?"

	"Yeah, sadly." Brandon groaned and turned back to their new 
aquaintences.

	"Bloody hell...I'm Spike. One and only bad ass." Spike growled.

	The female Spike looked in shock. "What the- Slayer this is your 
fault somehow. I don't know how, but-"

	"Spike! Shutup!" Brandon growled, turning back to the male Spike. 
"What do you mean your Spike? Spike is a girl."

	"Like bloody hell I am! I'm Spike! William the bloody! Damnit, there 
is only one of me!"

	"Spike." Angel growled from behind him.

	"Shove it you poof! She has my name!"

	"Poof?" The dark haired female vampire stood up taller. "Why do 
you call him that? That's what Spike calls me, though I hate it thouroughly." 
she glared at the female Spike who simply made a face before taking Will's 
hand.

	"Ok, ok, wait, let's get this all strait here! Ok, well go around 
in a circle. I point, you talk, got it? I want names here."Brandon said. 
Starting with himself he pointed. "Brandon, as you all know by now, the 
Slayer here."

	"William." Will said when the finger came his way. "Witch extrordanair
...or trying to be. Warlock actually." 

	"And damn good too." the female Spike grinned.

	"Hush Spike. Let me finish." Brandon said earning a face from 
Spike.

	The finger was then pointed around the circle to the female Spike, 
Angel, Spike, Xander, the dark haired female vampire, the other short brown 
haired girl that had come with her and Spike then back to Brandon.

	"Spike." the girl said. "Greatest vampire that ever lived mind 
you."

	"Angel...his sire." he pointed to Spike next to him who had an 
angry expression.

	"Spike damnit. The ONLY one." he growled.

	Xander rolled his eyes."Xander. Not a clue what is going on here."

	"Angel...too I guess." the female dark vampire said.
	
	"Xandria." the other girl said stepping forward. "Bran I'd 
really like to know what's going on here man." she said walking over to 
Brandon.

	"Me too Xan."

	"Ok, so so far we have two Spikes, two Angels and two...Xanders or 
close enough." Will said from his place by Spike. "How are we going to sort 
this?"

	"You could call Spike, William and I guess I could be Liam." the 
male Angel put in.

	"That would work. And we usually just call Xandria here Dria, 
so we really don't have to worry about that. Ok I think we really 
should get back to Giles'. She'll know what to do." Brandon said.

	"You have a Giles' here? And he's a girl? Wow. Never though of 
Giles' being a girl before." Xander said with a laugh.

	"If he...she is anything like our Giles then she should be able 
to help." Liam commented as the group headed off togather.

************

	"Alright, so let me get this strait. So far the only theory that 
we've got that is actually remotly probable is that we have somehow been 
thrown here by that gem or something and this is an...alternate I guess
..opposite dimension?" William asked his hands clasped between his knees 
as he leaned forward to look at the female Giles'. She was in her early 
fifties and was just as nervous as the male Giles always was.

	"Y-yes, that's my theory."

	"So that would mean that there is a girl of every guy in our 
dimension and vise versa?" Xander asked.

	"Yeah, that's pretty much it." Will said from his position with 
Spike on his lap. She was playing with his hands. 

	"So," she said looking up."There is a girl Brandon there? ahaha, 
that I wish I could see. What's 'er name? Betty?"

	"Actually it's Buffy." William smirked.

	Spike went into fits of laughter."Oh god that's even better!"

	"Spike!" Will hissed in her ear trying to get her to calm down.

        "What?" she shrugged and looked around. Almost everyone looked unamused 
except for William, who had a small grin on his face.

	"What? This is priceless. Ok, tell me more, what bout Rachel 
here?"Spike continued, unabated by their death threat stares.

	"Rupert." the male Spike smiled, having fun teasing with his 
female twin. She cracked up again.

	"What the HELL kinda name is THAT?! AHAHAHAHA." she laughed, 
falling back against Will's chest, who was holding back his laughter 
as well as Brandon.

	"Wh-what about the poof's boyfriend here...haha, Cordell?"

	"Cordell?" Liam put in confused, then realized. "Ah, 
Cordelia you mean."

	"COR-DELIA! eheheheh." Spike finally fell over off of Will's lap 
and onto the couch, burying her face in the cushions as her boyfriend 
patted her back.

	"Alright, so wait a minute here...if your with Will there...that 
would mean I would be with...."

	"Willow." Xander ended for him. Spike looked over in shock.

	"The hacker??" he laughed.
	
	"Hey, you shouldn't tease Will like that."

	"Huh?" Will responded automatically.
	
	"Sorry, I meant Willow. That's our Will's name." he clarifyed. 

	"Willow? That's pretty." Will smiled, pulling Spike back up onto 
his lap to keep her from falling on to the floor. She had finally calmed 
down a bit, but still had a huge grin on her face.

	"Ok, so what do we do about this?" Liam asked, watching as Rachel 
Giles stood to pace.

	"Well, I'm not sure. I'm fairly certain we will find the 
information we do need in the books I have here." she smiled.

	"Research party." Brandon sighed. "I'll call the others and 
inform." he volunteered and headed for the phone in the kitchen.

	"Yeah, don't forget to get Andy. I'm sure he'll be at home 
watching those um..tapes, I got him." Dria blushed.

	"Andy?" Xander asked. "Guess that's the female version of Anya." 
he grinned at his opposite who smiled back.

	"Yeah."

	"Ok, their on their way. Dria, why don't you call Andy. I really 
don't wanna interupt something. Thats your job." Brandon laughed.

	"Ha ha, funny Bran. Ok." she said standing.

	"Ok, Cordell, Gunn and Wendy are on their way."

	"Gunn? There is a Gunn here? I thought they were all in L.A. 
with you Ang...Liam." Xander asked.

	"Yeah, they are."

	"L.A.?" the other Angel put in."I was there for a while and 
that's where we met, but Cordell, Gunn and Wendy moved back here with me 
when the Hellmouth started acting weird. We have a pretty large office 
building not far from here." she put in.

	"Really? This really is weird. We were in L.A. in a warehouse when 
we were portal zapped here." Xander looked over at the female Giles. 

	"That is odd. I-I think I have an idea." She said rushing off 
to her books to look through them.

	The others nodded and went back to the conversation. "So 
where do you live now? Gunn, Cordelia and Wesley live in the Hyperion 
Hotel with me in L.A."

	"The Hyperion. Oh my I remember that." Angel sighed. "But let's 
not go there as Spike likes to say. I live in a house with Spike and Dria 
not a mile from here-"

	"WAIT WAIT! I live with the poof and boy dunder?!?!" William 
growled out, busting back into the conversation. He had been watching 
the motions between his alternate self and Will. The two were definatly 
in love. Why had he not noticed the witch before. He'd have to take more 
time to look at her now that he knew they were togather in another 
universe.

	"Yeah. So." Spike put in. "Dria's not bad, though I could do 
livin without the poof around. Broke my favorite shot glass." she growled.

	"Spike-"

	"NOT BAD?! He-"

	"I live with two vampires?! How did this happen!?"

	"SHUT UP!" the loud voice came out of nowhere. Brandon had had 
just about enough. "Guys that's enough! I'm tired of you all arguing. 
Can we all just get along until they get-"

	DING DONG!

	"-here." Brandon sighed and went over opening the door to see a 
tall dark haired man dressed well in front of a black woman not too 
much shorter than her. She had short black hair and wore a grin and 
the other woman had long brown hair down to the middle of her back and 
wirerimmed thin glasses. She had an english accent as she spoke. 

	"Ah, yes, Mr. Summers, we are here. I must ask though, what was 
the emergency?" she asked as the three entered then stopped apon seeing 
three strangers that looked somehow familiar.

	Angel stood and walked over to Cordell, bringing him over 
to the couch to sit beside her and the other two took various seats. Just 
as Brandon was about to close the door a hand pushed against it to stop 
the closing. "Hey, excuse me! I'm out here!" came a deep voice. A tall 
man with wavey brown hair entered and immediatly spotted Dria and went 
to her. Sitting down beside Dria, he kissed her deeply before turning to 
the others with his arm around Dri's neck. "Sorry I'm late. Get over it 
though. I was busy having orgasms."

	Half the room turned green and both versions of Xander gave him 
a 'look'. "Andy." Dria admonished.
	
	"And that I would guess is Anya's opposite. Oh yeah, very easy to 
tell that one." Spike laughed. 

	"Excuse me, what are you talking about and who are you?" he asked, 
looking over William then gripping Dria closer if anyone had their 
eye on her. Dria simply patted his knee.

	William started to stand to tell him off, but Liam grabbed his 
hand to keep him there."Not here." he grumbled to William.

	William reluctantly gave in and sat back down.

	"Yeah, what's going on man? Who are these people?" Gunn asked 
leaning forward from her spot on a stool next to Wendy. 

	"This is Liam, William and Xander." Brandon said. "They got 
here somehow from another dimension and they are opposites of Xandria, 
Angel and Spike." 

	"Say what?"

	"AHA!" Giles' triamphant crow came as she ran back into the 
front room. "I know what happened. You said you were after a gem 
right? And that gem is the one that sent you here correct?"

	"Yes. I believe it was the Gem of Restiquis." Liam put in. "Is 
there a way to get back."

	"Ahh....yes, I think so." Giles looked up, her glasses falling 
off her face with her uncertain look.

	"But your not sure?" Xander stepped in. 

	"No, no, not absolultely one hundred percent-but! If it is 
right there will be a few changes. Yes I can send you back to your 
realm, but it will have to be under certain terms."

	"And just what terms would that be watcher?" William asked, 
standing along with Liam and Xander.

	"W-well, you see, the gem reacts only under violent 
surrounding circumstances."

	"Which would explain why it reacted when we were fighting 
off that demon." Liam put in.

	"Yes, yes quite. But it won't work exactly like it did last 
time. You see our Hellmouth has been experiencing some strange anomolies 
to it and that's why it brought you here to Sunnydale and in this realm. 
However, when you go back, because of this it will send you to your 
own realm, but because your Hellmouth is not experiencing 
these fluxuations, you will most likely be send directly to 
where you left here instead of back to L.A. where you had origionally 
come from." she finished.

	"I see. That's alright. As long as we get back." Liam said 
though he did somewhat fear seeing his ex, should she come apon them. 
But it was a way home.

	"Well then why are we here if you already found it?"Gunn 
asked.

	"Well, origionally it was going to be a research party, 
but since your here, you can help create the violence. I say we go kick 
some vampire ass." Brandon grinned.

	"I'm all for!" Gunn agreed and the group headed out.

*****

	"Alright, everyone get ready, here they come. HEY!" Brandon 
yelled to the group of fledglings aproaching her. Then the fighting 
broke out. Everyone including Will and Spike were fighting. More 
like Spike was kicking ass and Will was staking.

	The gem began to glow and flux next to the power of the 
Hellmouth and the violence and Giles yelled out for everyone to 
prepare. The male Spike, Angel and Xander stood to the side watching 
as the portal opened. 
	
	"Thanks!" Liam/Angel yelled before waving and jumping through.

	"Yeah thanks! Later guys!"Xander said before jumping through.

	"Love to stay and chat pets, but that's all the time we have 
for now! Ta!" Spike grinned before he jumped through the portal. It 
closed behind him and the group stood around, all vampires defeated.

	"Well, that was interesting." Brandon grinned before they group 
left.

*****

	"What the hell! Angel? Spike? Xander?? What are you guys doing 
out here?? Weren't you in L.A.?" Buffy asked, helping Angel and Xander 
up while Spike glared at her. Willow rolled her eyes and came over to 
help him up. He gave her a long look and she couldn't take her eyes 
away from his.

	"What...oh. Buffy, hi." Angel smiled slightly. 

	"You wouldn't believe what happend to us!" Xander burst with 
excitment to tell his story. Buffy, Angel and Xander started back 
towards Giles, listening to Xander start to regail his story.

	Spike stared a moment more at Willow before starting to walk 
away. Her heart dropped a little until he stopped and turned back to 
her, holding out his hand for her to take. She did and he leaned in to 
whisper. "You and I need to have a little talk witch." 


THE END

what do you think?!!?!?? LET ME KNOW! Sequal maybe? I know it was kinda short, but 
major writers block. No flames please! *hides*
