Tina: “Frank and Pete”

Angel: “excuse me…, Will, I made you a question and you haven’t answered”

Willow: “how would I know…? I’m always here in the lab, you guys are together on the battlefront, and I have no answer for you”

Spike: “isn’t it obvious, Angel, she is with one of the guys, maybe with Xander of even Robin Wood who is now the good guy, we better go and find it  out for ourselves”

With that, both vamps left and Willow exhaled deeply.

Willow: “thanks for coming; they were going to ask until I would tell them the truth”

Bette: “is okay…, besides, some of the girls are gone”

Willow: (looking around) “yeah…, I don’t see Jane and Maura…, neither Lena and Stef”

Bette: “Alex and Oliv are out too”

Willow: “hey…, is there something else happening? Where are they…? and…, where are Alice and Dana?”

Tina: “yes…, it is what you’re thinking…, they all are getting married in El Paso Nuevo, and Alice and Dana are organizing that”

Willow: “and why are you both here and not there?”

Bette: “what do you mean?”

Willow: “they are your friends”

Tina: “we are covering…, if many people disappear, it will be suspicious”

Willow: “oh…, you know, I would like Buffy and Faith married too”

Bette: “it would be the best because they are having a baby”

After dining, Bette and Tina left the cabin; they went to their bedroom in the annex of the biochemistry building to enjoy their private party.

Beyond the Hellmouth, similar coordinates than Sunnydale, earth date, Sunday, 16 2059, 2:00 am. Helldom Planet – Hexepolis- Headquarter of the First Evil

The streets of the city are darker than usual; most pyres are off and there is something new, silence. Few uber-vamps are walking around, most of them are hidden or being attended in a kind of ‘medical station’. Those ‘booths’ are strange places where the vamps are resting in pain, almost in agony and some poor wretches humanoids, from the surface of that planet, are used as a source of blood and flesh to be devoured by the more wounded and weaker. Few humans, or rather, ex-humans slaves, living dead indeed, caught when traveling to the world of the dead, are assisting the process. Among them is she, Antonia Rossi, who died bitter, angry because of the way her daughter had been separated from her; it didn’t matter she suffered hunger, rape, beatings, and insults. She endured everything to protect Louise, but they took her daughter from her, to make the child, who knows what. Antonia died cursing Buckley, for taking her child away; the system that condemned her for defending her daughter from being raped; the earthquake for killing most of her family, destroying her house and their lives. She died not only embittered but sad, impotent and almost crazy. On her way to the land of the dead, a strange force brought her to this place, she was told that they will take her with her daughter, that she was given a second chance. Antonia had to believe them, she had no way to leave the place, of course, she knew the difference between good and bad, and after few hours of being captured there, she realized this place was hell. Nonetheless, destiny has made the false promise a reality. When the First Evil weakened his control on his kidnapped slaves, because of his defeat in the battle at the portal of the world of the dead, many of them fled away, but she stayed, her daughter was the cause of the battle. She had two choices and she chose stay slave of the First, to be able to communicate and help her daughter than run away free toward the world of the dead and join her dead family. Antonia has already transmitted a lot of information to her daughter, and she hopes to keep doing it until the end.
