Heh.  You've latched onto one of the numerous points of argument -er- 
discussion about BtVS.  Yes, that's one possible outcome.  Or maybe the 
power to spawn the next Slayer reverts back to Buffy when she comes back
to 
life.  Or maybe she passed that power on to Kendra and no longer has it. 
Or 
maybe it just happens whenever there isn't any Slayer, so both will have
to 
die before the next comes.  Or maybe two Slayers at the same time rips
open 
a rift in the Buffyverse space-time continuum creating all sorts of havoc.

Or maybe the writers didn't think of the mess they caused with this story 
line...  Feel free to make up other options.  Or you could wait for the
show 
to clarify it.  Of course there's no guarantee that it will...

Presumably she does whatever her Watcher tells her to do and goes where he

tells her to go.

Cordelia:  Oh my God, it's time for the cheerleader pyramid at mid-field. 
I've gotta go.
Buffy:  Well, are you sure you're okay to go out there?
Cordelia:  Yeah, you don't understand, I *have* to go. I'm the apex!
