Author: Maeve Bran
Rating: K+
Summary: Buffy, Dawn, and Willow get more than they bargained for when they seek out a slayer in Canada.
Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy or Angel or Bones or the movie These Girls. No harm intended and no profit made.
Prompt: For free week; This chapter also answers TtH Challenge #1424, Not A Robot.
Notes: Part One is here. I know the movie These Girls takes place in June and July, but let's pretend it takes place in November, okay?
The Wolfram and Hart jet touched down out side of the town of Shediac, New Brunswick, Canada after dark on a Tuesday night. Buffy had wanted an early start after dropping Angel off in D.C., but Willow had to finish up some paperwork regarding the discovery of Numfar. They had left six hours later than originally planned so it was pretty late but Buffy, Dawn, and Willow were anxious to discover the identity of the newest slayer to be discovered.
Willow performed the locator spell as soon as they were settled and enchanted the map to keep track of the slayer's movement. Once her identity was established, the three would then decide the best way to approach the slayer with the news.
They followed the map to a house with a greenhouse out back. They hung back in the shadows as a man on a motorcycle came riding up. He got off and went to the house and for a minute he was illuminated by the porch light. Willow and Buffy and Dawn all exchanged glances.
"It can't be," whispered Buffy.
"Two I'll accept, but not three," said a stunned Dawn.
"It must be an Angelbot," whispered Willow, thinking of a parcel that resided in the plane's cargo hold.
She had asked Dawn to get the remains of the Buffybot and bring them for Zack Addy to study. He had told her about the small robot he had built and had given to Booth for Christmas, and Willow thought he might enjoy looking at and taking apart what remained of the Buffybot. Zack would be able to use the bot and no one else wanted it; it had been dumped in a pile of outdated technology outside the city limits of Sunnydale and had therefore survived the collapse of the Hellmouth. Willow had had Dawn fetch it soon after Willow had started work at the Jeffersonian and this was the first chance Dawn had to bring it out with her. But the Buffybot would just have to wait until this situation with a new slayer was resolved.
The stunned trio watched as the door swung open to reveal a teenage girl who threw herself in the Angelbot's arms and tried to French Kiss the bot.
"Definitely a copy of Angel. Right down to the doing it with teenage girls," muttered Willow.
"Hey," Buffy exclaimed. Then, after a pause in which the couple went in to the house, she conceded. "But you're right, it is Angel's MO. Or was."
"Are you sure that that girl is the slayer?" asked Dawn.
"Pretty darn," replied Willow.
They stayed on board the plane that night and then set out in the daylight to find out about the new slayer. Dawn learned, at the snack shack on the beach, that her name was Glory Lorraine. When she returned to the plane and imparted the information, both Buffy and Willow seemed a little disturbed by that.
"Glory, huh? That name will take some getting used to," Buffy said, obviously remembering the last being they ran into with that name.
That night they again spent on the plane. Thursday was spent in finding more about Glory, as was Friday. Friday night they finally had enough to talk to Glory. They got out the map and again tracked her to the Angelbot's house. Only when they got there, the door was wide open and no one was home. A window was broken and a lamp was smashed.
Willow, Dawn and Buffy were assessing the situation when Glory and a brunette returned and called for a Keith. The newcomers introduced themselves as Glory Lorraine and Kiera St. George. They explained that there was an attack and that they had come to see if Keith was all right, but before they could question Buffy, a car came up. Glory and Kiera rushed out.
"Kieth isn't here," said Glory.
"Don't worry, he's with us. We'll meet you around back," answered the girl in the car.
The Slayer, Witch and Watcher went around back with the rest and were slightly shocked to see the Angelbot in the trunk of the car. This must Keith. The girl in the car got out, carrying a baby.
When Keith revived, the revelations that came pouring out around the Sunnydale contingent just stunned them and they were in shock until the words, "I'm pregnant." cut through the confusion. It was Glory going on about how she and Keith were going to have a child together.
"A pregnant slayer?" mouthed Buffy to Dawn, who looked as confused as the other two. Looks passed between them and they slipped out of the house in the ensuing chaos.
Once out of earshot of the house they stopped to try to unravel the situation.
"So Keith is not a robot," stated Dawn. "I mean robots may be functional and all - a thought I don't want to contemplate- but they can't get a girl pregnant."
"Angel never would have seduced three teenagers. I guess there really are three men that look like that. Dang. What a universe," said Buffy contemplating the chances of that.
"If there had to be three men who looked a like at least they are too handsome for words," stated Willow, drawing stunned looks from Buffy and Dawn. "What? I can't admire good-looking men? Just because I prefer women in my bed, it doesn't mean I'm blind to a perfectly good specimen of manhood."
"Okay, whatever," Dawn replied. "I need to call Giles to warn him of the situation." The three of them headed back to the plane for the night.
The next morning found Buffy on the Lorraine doorstep flanked by Willow and Dawn. Glory herself answered the door and invited them in, since her parents were out.
"You were there last night, weren't you," Glory accused.
"Yes, we were. We were looking for you," said Buffy.
"Why?" asked Glory.
"Because you are a vampire slayer," Dawn blurted out.
"I'm a what?"
"Vampire slayer. One born with the strength and skill to fight off the demons and vampires," said Buffy. "A chosen one. Have you noticed being stronger since May?"
"I guess I have. I hadn't really thought of it. What happened in May?" asked Glory.
"I did a spell and made every potential slayer a slayer. Long story, and Buffy will tell you it someday soon," explained Willow.
"We're here to offer you a place at the Summers School for Gifted Women in Las Vegas, Nevada." said Dawn.
"The what?" asked Glory.
"Slayer University," Buffy summarized. "A school that was set up for all the newly activated slayers."
"Your baby will have all the 'Aunties' you can stand. The place also comes with a job offer of working in the office supply warehouse which funds the school," Willow assured her.
"I'll go with you. It sounds like with you my baby and I will be able to make it," Glory answered.
There were more details to be taken care of, of course, but now that they had her answer it didn't take all that long to finish up. A little over a day later, they bundled Glory and her things into the Wolfram and Hart jet and set out for D.C. to rejoin Angel and check on the progress of the Numfar investigation. From the things he had said on the phone the last couple of days, the situation wasn't all that urgent yet, but knowing their luck, it would be soon.
The last thing they did before they left Shediac was to get a picture of Keith from Glory. Buffy couldn't wait to see Angel's and Booth's faces when she showed it to them.
Not to mention, Glory's reaction to them...
