Lorne continued to put glasses away but paused when he heard the no-no word. Pylea. Geez, didn't Angel have enough of that place? There was no reason to go back. There's no reason to go there ever. There was no way Angel was going to drag him into this.
He laughed nervously. "Well I hope you have a nice trip. Great vacation spot. Complete with the whole never ever ever being fun part of the package. Emphasis on the never. Say hi to my aunts and uncles for me while you're there." He continued busying himself with the glasses. No way was he going back there. No way, no how.

Cordelia sat on the couch in her apartment, sighin. She was bored, Dennis wasn't talking, well, helping her out at the moment because he was mad at her, and she was tiring of sitting around with a mopey ghost. Cordy rose and put her shoes on that she'd kicked off last night next to the couch.
"I'm going out, don't wreck anything!" She heard a smash as soon as she'd finished her sentence in a firm tone. Sighing, she added in a pleading tone, "Please, Dennis, don't wreck the place." There was no response, so Cordy figured it worked. She opened the door and sighed once more before leaving.
Entering the hotel a bit later, Cordelia didn't know why exactly she'd come here. Probably because Angel being Angel could give her some advice about a sulky ghost. Or maybe she just needed someone to talk to that would talk back? She looked around for Angel and huffed. "Argh, why does no-one like me at the moment?!" She threw up her arms but then spotted something. She read the short message from Angel and frowned.
Less than 10 minutes later, Cordelia entered Caritas and made her way straight to Angel, hearing the last part of his sentence about needing to go to Pylea. She raised her eyebrows at Angel in surprise and then turned her head to hear what Lorne was saying.
"He's right, Angel. It's not the number one pick on vacation spots... what's up?" She added with concern now. Surely he would have a really good reason for wanting to go back there.

Buffy walked over and took the book from Xander after she just hung up on him. "So how's Angel gonna help?" He asked, if there was any way he could help.
"We are going to enter Pylea by the way it says in the book" he said, turning to Faith. He indicated with his finger, the passage that said to enter Pylea you have to want it. "Well that wouldn't be to hard, all we have to do is really want to go to save Willow."
As soon as he finished that sentence, the book began to glow and shake within Buffy's hands. A bright, white vortex emanted from it. It enveloped them.
"Crap" Xander cussed, thinking about how much this was going to hurt. He was suddenly blinded by the white light. When his vision became clear, he was surronded by forest, Faith and Buffy weren't around him.
"Buffy, Faith?!" He called, hoping they would come out from behind a tree.

Ally had been taking a look around Sunnydale High's library, she'd heard there were some volumes about all things supernatural and she hoped some may mention her evil step father. She'd hid behind a large shelf stack when she heard Willow come in, she knew the Scoobie Gang still had issues with her and snooping around the library wasn't going to help her case. She heard Willow's scream for help and saw her get sucked into the book, but still she didn't emerge, the rest of the gang came in and she knew getting out wasn't possible. She heard Buffy place a call and was about to step out when a white light filled the room, she shielded her eyes and hissed, thinking it was the sun, but she didn't feel ehr skin searing. She opened her eyes and found herself in an abandoned city, Pylea perhaps? she thought to herself, remembering what they'd been talking about in the library.

Faith watched as Xander read from the book. No sooner did he start the book began to shake. “Here goes nothing” Faith muttered.
There was a whole lot of hard underneath her, and something bright and hot was stabbing her eyes. Stab. Stab. Stab-stab. Faith blinked and rolled over. Someone had Velcroed her to the ground with sticks and old leaves, and a dozen twiggy. The stabby thing was sunlight, filtering down through an irregular canopy of leaves. “Damn you sun,” she muttered. She squinted up through the branches. “Or suns, as the case may be.”
Faith looked around. A dust-devil of slight fear spun through her gut. She sat up and rubbed her gritty eyes. She was sitting in a drift of old leaves beneath a mossy, undercut bank in the middle of a wood. For a hell dimension, Pylea was pretty big on the scenic. The trees were sparse enough that she could see for a good distance around, but there was no one else in sight.
Faith got to her feet brushing of her clothes. “Great just what I need” Faith said noticing her jeans were torn above her knee. Faith then realised that the others were no where to be seen. ‘Man I hope im not here alone’ Faith thought, walking unsteadily towards a nearby path. She hoped Buffy or Xander were here.

Angel turned around and saw Cordy entering the bar. Great. He sighed heavily while pressing his lips together in disapproval. Why couldn’t she just stay home? “Look,” He turned sternly towards Lorne. “A friend was sucked through that portal” He gazed regrettably at Cordy. “Willow,’
He turned back towards Lorne. “So I need you to do what ever you have to do in order to get me back in.” He paused. “Besides…it’s not so bad anymore is it? Cordy was…princess,” he paused as if it was strange to say Cordy and princess in the same sentence. “And everything should be fine, right?”

“Wrong, me amigo.” He leaned on the bar. “Nothing’s ever ‘right’ in Pylea. For instance, got a little telegram from some dimension jumper demons here in L.A. They heard whispers about Pylea. About how your,” He looked a Cordelia. “half human, half demon, half Fabio’s departure made everything dive right back into hell, like it ever left. Ha!” He shook his head again.
“Listen, I’m really sorry about your friend. I really am. But there’s no way on earth am I going back there. Did you not see my mother? She’s a monster! Well…” he paused and sighed, exasperatedly. “...not just physically but personality wise too! But my main point is, no way!”

Buffy closed her eyes against the sudden bright light coming from the book in her hands that had lit up the library. A moment later it seemed, she was no longer in a building, but in a forest-like area. She blinked, still seeing the light when she did. Looking around, Buffy hoped to see either Faith or Xander but there was no-one... no sign of life what-so-ever.
She stood up carefully, ready for any sudden attack. She had no idea what or who roamed this world. "I really should have asked Angel more about this place... smart move, Buffy." She muttered to herself while still looking around. Suddenly, a movement caught her eye and she froze. It took her a while to recognize the figure was Faith.
"Faith!" Buffy called out, and flinched when her yell seemed to echo.

Cordelia's eyes widened at the name Angel mentioned. "Willow... in Pylea?" She said in astonishment. How had that happened? She looked at Angel with annoyance. "Hey, I was a good princess! Of course, I was a slave first and wow, that was so much fun." The sarcasm was heavy in her tone. She softened it and added, "I just hope Willow didn't have the same fate... the slavery that is."
Cordy gazed at Lorne. "You say it's so bad in there, yet you're happy to just let an innocent girl suffer?" She crossed her arms and looked at Lorne, challenging him to argue with her.

Faith kicked a stone as she walked. She looked around as she heard gun shots or what seemed to be guns shots near by. “Just great, i just got here and im already being hunted.” Faith put her hands in her pocket to grab her knife but just got a fist full of air. “What the hell?” Faiths knife had gone. “Shit” She was defenceless in an unknown dimension. Not a good thing.
Faith picked up her pace along the path when she heard her name being called. ‘They know my name too?’ she thought. Faith glanced around her and saw someone in the distance between some trees. Upon closer inspection she realised it was Buffy.
“B....” Faith hollered, walking in her direction. “Never thought I'd ever say this to you but im glad your........stuck here with me too” Faith said smirking. “What kinda place is this?” She said looking around. “And where’s Xand?”

Lorne looked at Cordelia, flabbergasted. "Hey! Don't you dare turn this around on me, Princess Leia. I went to save you the first time from that horrid place, just to find out you didn't really need saving. You were getting the royal treatment, on your thrown with a crystallized bathing suit, Angel was getting the White Knight treatment, and guess what I was getting? My pretty little head chopped off!"
He shook his head. But with all his complaining, she did have a point. He couldn't let another unfortunate soul like Fred suffer there.
He sighed heavily in defeat. "Okay look. I have the book that can bring us all there." He disappeared under the bar. "I kept it with me just in case someone else decided to curious and say the magic words." He reappeared with the book and slammed it on the bar. He wanted to weasle his way out of this, he really did, but there was no way. No way. Angel needed him there, he was his navigation. And he didn't even need to read his own aura to know he needed to go with him.
He gave an uneasily look at the both of them. "Free drinks won't get me out of this one, will it?" he shook his head and opened the book. Judging by the silence, it didn't fly. "It was worth a shot."
He saw the words he need to say and gazed up at the both of them. "Ready amigos? There is always time to back out. There is ALWAYS time to--"
"Just say it already," Angel said impatiently.
Lorne cringed. "Yeesh. Vamp with the attitude. I'll remember that next time." he shook his head and cleared his throat. No point in stalling anymore. "Say goodbye to good ol' LA." Lorne then began reading the text. They were then on their way.
No turning back now.

"Buffy? Faith?" Xander yelled, although it didn't seem the smartest thing to do since he was in a place that he didn't know anything about, like what kind of demons live in this hell dimension and if they were dangerous or not.
He was probably calling to the wrong people anyway. "Willow!" He waited for a response, "Willow!" He bellowed once again. Still no response.
He heard a female voice calling out to him and Faith, that must be Buffy he thought. He followed her voice, it only took two minutes to catch up to her. Faith was already with her.
"I'm right here" Xander said, When Faith asked Buffy where he was. "So anyone have any plans about what to do?"

Buffy looked around too for a moment, then back at Faith. "I'd say this is Pylea... nice place, a bit too quiet for my liking though." She was getting a strange feeling, almost like she was being watched. It made her shiver. Reaching for her stake that was in her jacket pocket, Buffy groaned. "Damn, my stake's missing."
She felt all her pockets for the weapons she had stored but came away with nothing. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Without weapons they could be in trouble... luckily there were two slayers here, Buffy thought quickly to reassure herself. Xander finally caught up to them and she beamed at him, deserting her search.
"Xander!" She bounded over to him and hugged him, not exactly knowing why. He'd always proved he could take care of himself, but she guessed that never stopped her from worrying. "Okay, we're all together, so that's a start. But the start's all I have at the moment... seeing as there's no Willow."

Faith looked around as Buffy did. “Yeah this place gives me some wicked bad vibes” Faith then sighed as Buffy too had no weapons. “My knife is gone too” Faith said sadly. Faith really hoped that her slayer skills would do the job instead.
Faith flinched slightly when Xander spoke up beside her. “Geez warn a girl when you creep up behind her” Faith said confused as too why her senses didn't tell her that someone was in her presence. Faith just shrugged it off, blaming the sudden change of environment.
Faith nodded unconsciously as Buffy spoke. “Ok my guess is that we should start looking around for life” Faith suggested, hoping that would give them a lead to where Willow was.

"Hey Buffy, Faith" Xander said, gasping for breath as the way Buffy engulfed in a hug knocked the wind out of him a bit. He wasn't going to say that though, he was going to try to avoid being weak in front of the slayers.
"Hey my watch's gone!" Xander complained, just trying to do what the girls were doing, talking about their missing weapons. He had no weapons on him anyway so he settled for his watch.
"I agree with Faith, we should start looking for life, and Willow. Only if we could find our way out of here." He looked around the surroundings, it seemed quite pointless trying to find their way out. He could tell that they would get out to a clearing to find themselves surrounded my more forest.
