It had been several days since her wish. She hadn't thought anything of it at first until she began to notice weird things happening. Elsa Montgomery was in the streets of New York walking home when she felt her necklace glow, the next second this is where she ended up. Either she was dreaming or her wish had come true although she really thought she was losing her mind.
Her short blue skirt was a skirt that had been warn by Jenny Calendar from her favorite show well...one of them. But this skirt had a unique touch to it and plus it was too small to be Jenny's. She had simply bought the same kind at a local store near her. She was was trying to figure out where she was when she realized this was sunnydale. "Ok...I thought this place was destroyed after the fight with the first...what the..." But before she could finish her sentence she heard growling.
"Hell?" she jumped from where she was trying to think things through. She knew screaming wouldn't help her and she defeintly didn't wanna get killed in wishing her favorite heros to become real she had also wished apparently...for their enemies...vampires. "We haven't been properly introduced...I'm Elsa and you're...HISTORY!!!" she said putting an emphasis on that last part before plunging her stake into the vampire.
But she realized she wasn't done, as she saw more vampires approach her she panicked. "All right....remember the lesson Giles taught Buffy" she muttered to herself. "plunge and move on...plunge and move on..." she repeated the process until she herself was the only one left covered in fine dust. "ok this is too weird" she muttered to herself.

Giles was out on patrol with some of the recently recruited Slayers In Training, or the SITs as Dawn was calling them. Buffy was at home relaxing with her sister and the Scoobies. "This night of torture will never end." he muttered as some of the SITs went off on their own to hunt the creatures of the night. He was heading into an alley when he suddenly sensed he wasn't alone. There was a whole flock of vampires and they were gaining up on some poor bystander that got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
He reached into his jacket and grabbed a stake that he kept hidden, "Dear heavens there are a lot... if only some of the SITs would come in and assist me. We might actually save the poor girl." he said with a glare. He rushed right in and began staking some of the vampires that had no idea he was there.
He thought he'd done a rather well job only to find out that the girl was also assisting him in the slayage. Could she be a new Slayer that Willow hadn't located yet? It was a possibility as anything was. Once the final vampires were taken care of, he looked down at the girl and smiled. "Well perhaps I wasn't needed here after all. You seem to have done an excellent job for someone so new to this." he said. He put the stake away and considered offering his hand to shake hers, but figured he better not incase she was an enemy. "My name is Rupert Giles, are you alright?" he asked casually.

His voice, took her off guard completely. In fact she stood there saying nothing for a few moments. She had heard right hadn't she...she had guessed it to be true but now she was positive where she was...who this man was. "I...I'm...f...fine" she stuttered as she put her stake away. She hoped to God that Giles wouldn't notice the dress she was wearing and or worse identify it with Jenny's. Thinking she should not just stand here but introduce herself she said. "N...Nice to meet you Mr. Giles I'm Elsa Montgomery" she told him shakily.
As she looked from Giles to around her she realized she wasn't too far away from highschool. She wondered if things hadn't happened yet...and than she saw Kennedy running towards them and realized yes this was already around season seven or somewhere along those lines either they were in the middle of the fight with the first or it was over already.
She didn't know what to say or how to say it. She stood there where she was stupidely for a couple more seconds before she managned to choke out. "I...I can't believe this...I didn't think..." But before she could say or think anything else she heard Kennedy fighting off some vampires seeing one of the vampires come their was she reacted quickly she took out her stake and threw it in his direction, she had him him...as it dusted she turned back to Giles.

Giles smiled down at the girl, she was obviously stunned from the fight and it almost seemed as if she recognized him some how but he wouldn't know that unless he asked if she was having the nightmares. "I know what you've just witnessed must be terrifying. But you did remarkably well. Have you seen vampires before? In nightmares perhaps?" he asked. He took a second to look at Elsa again and noticed she wore a dress that seemed very familiar to Giles but he couldn't quite place the reason behind it.
Kennedy had come up to them and he was grateful, they needed to get Elsa back to the Summers home so that they could talk things out and keep her safe, especially if she wasn't a Slayer. If she was just a normal human, Rupert would definitely be impressed with how well she handled herself. It was as if she'd been prepared for this moment her whole life.

"D...Dreams...no...I don't have that kind of power" she told him as she looked at him to Kennedy and back again. She didn't like Kennedy but she knew she wasn't even supposed to KNOW Kennedy so she decided to act mature and humane. Turning back to Giles she said. "I...heard legends of this stuff I...I remembered vampires dust when...when you put a stake through their heart...cut off their head...or when you shove sunlight into their face" she hadn't really heard it from legends in fact she had seen it on tv. The thought that Hollywood could be real hadn't occured to her.
Now she knew her wish had come true, all she wanted to know was how it was possible. She wondered if her wish had brought these guys alive...from the world of fantasy...if the same could apply to people in Manhattan. The NYP...shaking herself out of that thought she started to follow Kennedy as the other slayer led her away. "W...Where we going?" she asked although she already had a faint idea of where.

Giles smiled politely, well it looked as if she wasn't a Slayer but she definitely had potential if she was on the side of good. "We're going to a dear friend's house not too far from here. She and her friends will be able to help make some sense of this and see about getting you home." he explained. He reached into his front pocket and grabbed his cell phone that Willow had finally talked him into getting.
It was much easier to contact the gang this way when things like this happened. He dialed the Summer's residence and waited until someone picked up. It was Dawn who had answered, "Dawn, listen I need you to let Buffy know we're bringing home a guest. She was fighting vampires on her own...." Dawn cut him off asking if she was a Slayer they were unaware about, "No Dawn she's not... yes I know it sounds remarkable that someone in this state would be able to take care of the vampires on their own. Kennedy and I are on our way back with the other SITs." he said.
He looked over at Elsa after he hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket. He sensed how tense she was being near Kennedy, which he fully understood. Kennedy was a bit of a smart-allec and had a tough-guy appearance for a Slayer. He walked over and motioned for Kennedy to round up the other Slayers as they continued on their way back to the Summer's home. "So where are you from Elsa? Originally I'm from England, as you can probably tell by my accent." he said trying to make things a little easier for her. She seemed shakened up by what was going on and he wanted to try and calm her down.

"Dawn's still here...defifently" she didn't much like Dawn either but at this point she wasn't going to go there. Instead she focused on Giles. "I'm from..M...Manhattan" she knew he'd ask more questions about that she sighed as she looked at him for a moment. The shock was wearing off for her a little. As she walked with the watcher she was wrapped up in her own thoughts when she jumped. Her pants vibrated...her cell.
Elsa looked so shocked for a moment more before shakily taking the cell out of her pocket. "E...Elsa Montgomery..." she stammered. "Yes I know I'm not at home but this is a freakin emergancy Elena...no....wait you've seen them? no you're not going crazy yes...all right hun I'll talk to you soon...try not to get caught it won't be good explaining to them how you know..." she hung up. "S...Sorry about that" she murmered.
Her cousin had confirmed that she had seen the detectives of the special victims unit....and the homicide investigations people back home which just made things easier for her to understand now. She realized too late at this point though that she was walking towards Buffy's house all by herself and in fact she was ahead of the watcher. "That can't be good..." she murmered.

Giles listened patiently as Elsa was on the phone and apparently the same thing back home was going on as it was here. How in the world did she get from Manhattan to here so instantly? She's human so it's not like she had a powerful witch to conjure up a transportation spell for her. Unless she did know a witch friend back home? Either way they'd get the answers they would need in order to help her out once they got to Buffy's home. "So everything alright back home? You seem a little more relaxed now, I'm glad about that. I'm here to help you the best I can." Giles said.
He reached the corner to Buffy's street and helped her up the driveway of the Summer's residence. The lights were on so that meant Dawn was at home, and hopefully Buffy and the others were as well. "Here we are. This is the home of Buffy and Dawn Summers. Their friends are living here too for the moment so it will look a tad crowded." he said as he opened the front door. Kennedy went on ahead with the other SITs and Giles waited to let Elsa in. Once the other Slayers were in, he allowed Elsa to enter the home and closed the door behind them as he headed in himself.
