"I'm the king of the world!!!!!!!" Standing on the railing of the Santa Monica pier I stare out at the dark horizon, a cool wind slapping me in the face as I lean out, on the edge of balance, daring myself to just fall in. Got no frellin' reason to be here now. Jeff the Key gone and got himself good and turned into dust. Faith, that bird is

I knew where the stupid vampire was even if he didn't. It made me feel strange to think that Spike was still standing even if Angel was just another pile of dust. But hey, who am I to argue with the powers that be, right? Well actually I'm Cordelia Chase, that's who and you can bet your ass I tried to bargain Spike's life for Angel's. This was the way things had to be though. Everyone had their chance to shine.

"Spike." I said as I walked up to him. He gave me a confused look, and I wasn't sure if there was another Cordelia where he was from. Maybe, but I bet she didn't have as many fashionable shoes, cause like who could compare with my collection?

"What are you doing out here?" I asked curiously as I stepped closer to him and leaned on the railing, looking out at the water.

Raising an eyebrow I gave this Cordelia a once over. Funny how the vapid ice bitch in my world had broken her own neck having one of those vision thingamajiggers. Hard to be haughty in a wheelchair.

"Thought I might do some fishing. Which is really none of your frelling business now is it?"

A bloke tries to get some air and think for a few minutes and these people, all over me like flies on shit. Wait, bad analogy. Fact was none of them liked me and it was more than mutual. Wouldn't exactly mind getting out of dodge permanent like.

"What's a frell?" I asked, knitting my eyebrows in confusion. God, couldn't he even pretend to speak English, and like real English not whatever they speak in England. Thank God Wesley didn't sound like that

Wasn't this just too rich. Being lectured by her of all people. She who looked down her snobby little nose at all the rest of us. This might not be my world but I wasn't blind, I'd seen how she acted. Fact was they didn't know me here, and at this rate they never would. None of them had bothered to ask about my world, about what I had, what I'd lost.

"Carefull what you ask for Mary Poppins, ya just might get it. You want to know what I frelling want? What I really want? I just want things to make sense for once. Want to belong. You want to know why I got this ass ugly ring?"

Taking off the gem for I shoved it under her nose, dropping it into her hand. It didn't work here, I didn't need it.

"I thought it would help, give me a way to be normal. Not trapped in the dark. Poor little William, hiding in the shadows writing his poems and drinking blood."

Snorting I leaned over the railing a bit further. Hell, she had asked. Come looking for me, for who knows what reason. Probaly wanted a shag now that Angel was dust.

[visiongirl]

Alright I knew I told him to be honest, but I didn't think he really would be. I blinked as I felt the cool shiny metal press into my palm, and realized I was holding the gem of amara in my hand. Just looking at it I couldn't help but think about the last time Spike was in town looking for this thing. That sort of thinking led to Doyle, and Angel. Two people I really shouldn't be thinking about while I was trying to do this job, but I couldn't help myself.

"I'm not sure if I can give you exactly what you want, but I think I can help you." I said seriously, taking his hand and turning him so that he was facing me. He must have been surprised because he offered little resistance.

I held onto his hand tight so he wouldn't pull away and felt a warm glow start to spread through my body. I really never got used to this. And really? There was never any good purses to match a glow. Concentrating on Spike, I really hoped the powers knew what the hell they were doing up there.

[bloody_willy]

"What the frelling hell?" She started to get all glowy like and I was pretty sure this wasn't heading in the direction of shagging. Course if it was that might explain why everyone was so damn prickish in this world. Glowin all the time instead of shaggin, imagine they get all sort of pent up.

"You know kitten, this isn't exactly what I had in mind."

I wanted to pull away from her, leave her to glow on her own but for some reason I stayed, not breaking contact with her. What was going on?

[visiongirl]

My grip on his hand tightened as the little stubborn vampire tried to pull away from me. Hello! I wouldn't be here if it wasn't necessary, just stay still.

Shaking my head I closed my eyes as the glow took me over completely, Spike too since my skin was in contact with his. For some reason I knew he was gettin' all his memories. Not so much his memories, but the memories of the Spike who belonged in this world. Unfortunately he was still going to have the ghost of the Spike from the other world. There was no way to get rid of that one. But now he had two sets of memories, or he should...if this went the way it was supposed to.

A chance for him to belong. After all, he did sorta deserve it even if I didn't want to admit it.

When the glow finally subsided I pulled away from him and watched curiously. He better not want to know how this works. It wasn't like I had any clue at all. It just did. there was a glow. And then something happened. The powers weren't exactly big on the explaining.

[bloody_willy]

Frelling, no, bloody hell. She pulled away and I nearly fell, grabbing onto the railing behind me for support. There was this swirling in my brain, bits and pieces of bits of pieces all jumbling together. Hadn't been so different, this other Spike and I. Few twists and turns here and there and we'd have been spot on.

"Not me....its...." Saw her looking at me like I was a bear in a sodding...frelling zoo and snarled at her. "Her. The Slayer." Nodding I swallowed. Dran, I'd been the sob of the world to her. Went from not giving two cents about her to..."Frell you! I'm in love."

Folded my arms and glared, "Fix it. Now."

[visiongirl]

"I already did fix it." I said as I pulled away from you and he made his big declaration of love. Yes, now go run of to Buffy so that at least some of us can get a happy ending around here.

Stepping away from him I gave him a wry smile. I had already done everything I could for him. Whatever he decided to do now was up to him. He was a champion whether he decided to believe it or not.

"Goodbye Spike, maybe I'll see you around one day." With that I turned on my heels and began walking away.

[bloody_willy]

"Cocked off bint!" Thought she was just going to go and shove a lifetime or two worth of memories up my ass and just click off on her heels. Caught up to her and spun her back round, didn't know what the game was here but I damn sure didn't like it. Besides, I was fairly certain it was my turn to glow.

"Fixed it? Got me all googly eyed for a girl, that I've never even laid a hand on but I can remember putting...hands all over her. What the hell are you playing at here? Powers put you up to this as a joke or somesuch?"

[visiongirl]

I rolled my eyes when his hand clamped down over my arm just above the elbow and spun me around to face him. God, did I have to spell out everything for these people? I don't make the decisions. How the hell was I supposed to know what he was supposed to do now? Well okay, I was technically the psychic here but I was no Miss Cleo so back the hell off. Pulling my arm out of his grip my features softened for a second.

"The powers? Not so big with the joking around." Sighing I looked up at him. "Spike, you don't belong here. You said you wanted to belong, well I gave you a shot at it. The Spike that was here before died before his time, he was killed by Darla. Don't you wonder why you ended up here? Do yuo really think it was just because Faith wanted you to pull Jeff to safety? Jeff died, Spike. You really think the Powers let you come here for that? Everything has a reason. Everything." Even if it wasn't a good one, or one that made sense. Like Spike being a champion and Angel being a pile of ash.

[bloody_willy]

"Well you know what?" She could take her shit glowing and shove it. Didn't ask for none of this, not a lick. If this was her idea of fixing things she could just shove off. Let go of her since she was trying to twist free anyway. Already knew she didn't like me and I couldn't really care less.

"Thanks."

Took my chance to leave as she stood there open mouthed. Let her think about that for a while.
