Time Turned Backwards

Chapter 4

Xander walked up to the front door of Jonathon's apartment and taking a deep breath knocked on the door. He was startled when Andrew opened the door. His chest ached slightly at seeing his reluctant friend alive. Andrew had been killed by a vampire the night before Willow told him about Cordy. Xander had been surprised by how much he missed Jonathon until he was gone.

"Um...hello, can I help you?" Andrew asked shyly. He was surprised to see Xander Harris at Jonathon's door. He and Jon had a crush on the good looking boy. Xander was the outcast's hero. Buffy wasn't the only one who had saved people and they knew it.

Xander smiled down at Andrew and nodded. "Is Jonathon here? I need his help with something."

Andrew gapped at Xander in stunned awe. He wanted Jonathon's help? Cool! "Ah come on in." Andrew said and stepped back to allow Xander into the apartment.

When they reached the livingroom, Jonathon gapped at them. "Xander?" he squeaked.

"Hey Jonathon, listen I need your help with something and I think that Andrew here can help as well." Xander told them as he sat in a chair and smiled charmingly.

The two boy were shocked. Andrew didn't even think that Xander knew his name. "What do you need us to do?" Jonathon asked excitedly.

Xander smiled and thought, *Gotcha!*

"Can you go over to my place, I have two friends that are waiting for you and they'll explain everything. I need to go gather a few things up and get ahold of a few people. Will you go over there for me, now?" Xander asked again using all of his conciderable charm.

Both young men agreed and Xander gave them directions. A few minutes later they all left the apartment and Xander headed towards the Summer house. He knew thaffy ffy was there visiting her mom and he wanted to see Joyce.

His mind was filled with knowledge and he knew he needed to use it to heal Joyce. Her death was part of what destroyed Buffy and set the world on its dark path.
