“Tru? Tru is that really you?” Davis asked, amazed to see her after all the years she’d been missing. She looked more battle hardened than he’d ever seen her before, but it was clearly her.

Tru was just as shocked to see him there. “Davis, what are you doing here in New Sunnydale?” She asked, a little nervous that something might be wrong.

“Jack.” Tru balled her fists at the mention of Jack Harper. Jack had been the cause of a lot of her heartache, trying to kill her brother, than ended up killing her boyfriend Luc instead. “He’s here for some reason, I figured with you gone I’d have to try to stop him.” But now you can.”

Tru shook her head and held up her hands. “No way Davis, for the first time in years I haven’t had any do-over days and no stress over it.”

Davis was shocked at her reaction. He figured she’d be up to stopping Jack. “You can’t just turn your back on your calling Tru.”

Tru turned away. “Oh yeah, just watch me,” she said over her shoulder and she walked away.

“Harrison, I need you to talk to Tru.” Davis announced as he walked in the door of the hotel.

The dirty blond perked up at the mention of his missing sister. “Tru, she’s here?”

“Yes she’s…” Davis started.

Harrison interrupted him. “Well I guess she’s got her work cut out for her in this place.”

“Harrison…” Davis said, trying to get his attention.

“Have you heard about the death rate here?” he smirked. “I talked to this one weird guy named Willy, way weirder than you by the way, at a bar and he told me that the old Sunnydale blew up. New Sunnydale is supposed to get even worse.”

“Harrison, stop interrupting and listen.” Davis said, getting a little annoyed.

“Okay, shoot.”

“Tru says she hasn’t been having do-over days since she left, now Jack is here and she doesn’t want to go back to how things were before.” Davis said.

“So what do you need me to do?” Harrison asked, surprised to hear that Tru would turn her back on people who’d die if she didn’t stop Jack.

“I need you to talk to her, get her to change her mind.” Davis said hoping that Harrison would do it.

“Tch, easier said than done, but I’ll try. Where is she?”

“So what’s so urgent ‘B’?” Tru asked as she walked into the new and improved Magic Box.

Before Buffy could answer, Giles did. “According to the sudden rise in mystical energy and mass murders concentrated in this area…”

“Do us all a favor and skip to the point.” Tru interrupted, she was tired of Giles and his long, explanations, but he was British after all.

“The point is there’s a new Hellmouth forming in town.” Buffy said for Giles.

“Where’s Will? We need some witchy mojo pronto. Xander said. He was the same old Xander, just minus one eye.

“I asked her to pick up a few things.” Said Giles.

Xander motioned all around him to the shelves of books, spell ingredients, and other merchandise. “What stuff would you need to deal with a newborn Hellmouth that wouldn’t already be found here in the Magic Box?” He asked.

Outside Harrison continued his search for his older sister. “I figured finding someone in a small town would be a … well hello?” Harrison trailed off as he saw Willow go into the Magic Box with an armful of stuff.

“Sorry I’m late guys.” Willow said as she rushed in, nearly dropping the items in her arms.

“Better late than…” Tru stopped mid-sentence when she saw Harrison walk in.

“Wow Tru, I guess following the red-headed Goddess helped me more than I thought.”

“G-Goddess?” Willow said, thinking he knew what she was.

“Relax Red, he means you’re attractive.” Tru said. She turned to her brother. “Back off Har, she’s gay.” She nearly laughed at the expression on his face when he heard that.

“Oh, bummer.” Harrison said

“Wait, you know him, who is he?” Buffy asked stepping up next to Tru.

“Hey baby, you’re look’n at the Davies sibs.” Harrison said as he pulled Tru over to him.

“Davies?” Buffy asked, confused.

“Yeah, Tru Davies, she’s my big sis.”

“I think you’re a little confused, her name is Faith.” Buffy corrected the dirty blond.

“Hey, I think I know my own sister.” Harrison said.

“I know, she’s a robot!” Xander exclaimed. Everyone turned toward him. “What?”

“You think everyone’s a robot these days,” Kennedy said.

“I’m not a robot, Cyclops.” Tru said.

“Hey, lay off the eye jokes!” Xander said defensively about his missing eye.

“Faith is an alias I use. My real name is Tru.”
