This fic occurs in the same continuity as my previous Buffy/Sports Night and Buffy/Law and Order crossovers. Those fics, as well as previous parts of this one, are available at http://www.geocities.com/grnarmadillo
For those non-West Wing viewers out there, I recommend http://www.jedbartlet.com/ as a source for character profiles and episode guides.
SPOILER WARNING: This fic occurs after the season finales of Buffy and the West Wing, and contains spoilers for both.

*9 PM June 4th, 2001, White House Conference Room*
Dawn: *screaming* “It didn’t happen like that! The initiative didn’t have anything to do with...” *breaks down into sobs*
Willow: “Dawny....”
Tara: “Maybe... I should take her somewhere... is... is there somewhere?”
Sam: “Hm... I don’t know, I usually crash in my office when I’m here overnight...” *Josh and Toby nod, having occasionally done the same*
Donna: *looks crossly at the men of the West Wing* “I’ll take you two somewhere....”
Josh: *absently* “Thanks, Donna.” *Donna leaves with Tara and Dawn*
Sam: “Are you sure that the Initiative had nothing to do with...”
Anya: “We’re very sure. We were there, they tried to kill us, but we stopped them.”
Giles: *adjusting glasses* “Anya is right. While the Initiative did many questionable things, we can say with certainty that they had nothing to do with Buffy’s....”
Toby: *quietly* “She’s in.”
Xander: *holds a hand up, gestures* “I think I speak for all
of us when I say... HUH?”
Toby: “Wilkins is a democrat. She’ll
have a hard time looking for the party’s nomination with an incumbent
President....”
Sam: “Which means she has to go through us.”
CJ: *looking up towards the ceiling* “Doesn’t everyone?”
Willow: “But won’t the Party object to her destroying their sitting President?”
Josh: “That won’t matter. If she’s seen as the person who unveiled a conspiracy to hide wrongs against the American People, her popularity may go up enough to take the Democratic Primaries with or without party support.”
CJ: “She was behind in the polls until very late in the race, when she fired most of her staff. Her campaign was run by a LA law firm called ‘Wolfram and Hart’ after that, and she surged to win. When I was at Triton-Day Public Relations in Beverly Hills, they were the only people we didn’t want to mess with...”
Willow: “Wolfram and Hart? Isn’t that the law firm Angel’s been investigating?”
Anya: “Hey! They’re the demon law firm! Once when I cursed someone whose husband had hired Wolfram and Hart to represent him in a divorce suit, they actually found a way to reverse my curse. And I wasn’t a novice vengeance demon at the time....”
Sam: “Wait... did she just say she was some kind of demon?”
Anya: “Well, I’m not anymore!”
Giles: “Uh... Anya, perhaps you should let us explain....”
Anya: “How can they be running the country if they don’t even know what a demon is?”
Xander: *interrupting* “Look, guys, what Anya’s trying to say here is that ... you know all those stories about vampires and demons and monsters? They’re all true.”
CJ: “I don’t even work here anymore. I’m just listening for the heck of it.”
Sam: “Hey! You can’t quit before me!”
Toby: “You BOTH serve at the pleasure of the President of the United States, and he hasn’t kicked you out yet, so sit down.” *to the SG* “You DO realize that what you’re saying is hard to believe, yes?”
Willow: “I know, it’s hard to believe unless you’ve actually seen a vampire, which I guess must be hard with the security around here...”
Suddenly, a bunch of secret service agents run by the room. The people in the mural room can hear the broadcast on their radios...
Radio: “All agents, we have an assault on the Residence! Multiple attackers with severe facial deformities are advancing despite gunfire! They appear to be after Bookbag!”
Sam: “Isn’t ‘Bookbag’....”
Josh: “Zoey’s Secret Service code name!”
Giles: *turns pale* “Zoey Bartlett?!”
Tara: *comes running* “Guys, vampires are attacking the White House!! I tried to stop Dawn, but she was trying to protect her friend Zoey....”
Xander: “Come on, let’s go!”
Josh: “Shouldn’t we leave this sort of thing to, I don’t know, the guys with the guns?”
CJ: “What the heck, I’d rather have my blood drained than face the Press Room tomorrow morning...”
*The Residence*
Zoey: *screams* “GINA!”
Dawn: *grabs her hand* “Come on!” *they start running*
Zoey: “What are we going to do?”
Dawn: “Do you know where we might find a cross? Or some wood, or something?”
Zoey: “Dad’s Catholic, I think he’s got a crucifix somewhere in his room. It’s this way!”
The two run into the President’s bedroom.
Dawn: “Find it!” *tries to hold the door shut, something is banging against it from the outside*
Zoey: *knocks over assorted stuff, finally locates the crucifix* “Here!” *tosses it to Dawn*
Dawn catches the crucifix, and steps back from the door, facing it and holding out the crucifix, but suddenly there is nothing pounding on the door. The two girls breathe deeply, scared, when suddenly... two vampires burst in through the outside window. Dawn wheels around and holds out the crucifix, and one of the vampires recoils away. The other charges at Zoey, who ducks a vicious blow from the vampire. The vampire’s fist hits the wooden bedpost of the Bartlet’s bed and breaks it off. It snarls, grabs the broken post, and throws it at Dawn. Dawn barely dodges, but she drops the crucifix.
Vampire Dawn was holding at Bay: “Capture she who is to be the Chosen One!” The vampire lunges, not at Dawn but at.... Zoey. She jumps back on the bed, and the vampire falls short. However, the other vampire grabs Zoey by the ankle and drags her off the bed, and grabs her, holding her neck. Dawn is uncertain of what to do, when suddenly the door breaks in, and the SG charges into the room, Sam, Josh, CJ, and Toby close behind.
Vampire: “Move and she dies!”
Sam: “Look... you don’t want to do this.... you’ll never make it out of here alive....”
Vampire Holding Zoey: *growls, in game face* “A bit late for that, pretty boy...”
Suddenly, Zoey stomps on the vampire’s foot. The vampire loses his grip on her and screams, but she grabs him and flips him over onto the bed, where he is impaled by the broken wood of the base of the bedpost. The vampire explodes into dust.
Josh: “I did NOT just see that.”
Giles: “So she is....”
Xander charges across the room, tackling the other vampire before it can attack either Zoey or Dawn. The two struggle, and the vampire throws Xander to the ground, and stands above him about to strike a fatal blow when suddenly...
Willow: *hand outstretched towards the vampire, eyes flickering* “AWAY!”
The vampire is thrown out the broken window like a rag doll by an invisible force.
Sam: “Did she just do that?”
CJ: “Maybe I WOULD rather face the press room....”
Anya: “We got them all! Go team us!”
However, their celebration is short-lived, as there is a massive crash against the ceiling, and a horned demon crashes through and lands next to Zoey, grabbing her.
Demon: “You are too late, Watcher! My master shall perform the ritual of Kana’rith, and this girl shall be the LAST Chosen One!”
The demon starts to chant an incantation to teleport out, but at the last second...
Dawn: “No!”
Dawn charges and grabs onto the demon just as he successfully teleports away, with both Dawn and Zoey.
Giles: “God help us all....”
To be continued.....
Next: All the President’s Scoobies.....
