The freakishness that is Sarah.


"Sam! It's mine! Give it back!" a girl with short blonde hair to her neck, yells.
She is running after a tall boy, who she calls Sam. He has a bear in his hands and he's waiving it in the air.
"Catch me if you can!" he yells while he runs circles around the table in the living room.
Then a woman with blonde hair comes into the room, makes a salto and grabs the bear, you could see by her moves that it was Buffy.
"Gotcha!" she yells.
"Mom!" Sam says. "I was just having fun."
"Here you go sweetie." she says and she gives the bear to the girl and he girl shows her tongue to her brother and she runs away.
"You should be out having fun with your father. He waited for you for 3 hours. He's really disappointed you weren't there, Sammy."
"First of all, it's Sam, and second of all, that school stuff is so boring, I like dad much more when he teaches me some fighting moves, like you do."
"Yeah, well, you'll have to dicuss that with you're father. In the mean time you have to do good in school, or else he'll really show you some of his moves... on your butt." she smiles, and gives him a kiss on the forehead.
He walks away.
"Oh! And... Sam... be nice to you're little sister. Sarah's only nine years old, and you're 15 years old, I expect you to take care of her, not torment her by steeling her fluffy bunny. (with that she means Sarah's bear he had in his hand a few minutes ago)."
"Bye mom." he says and he walks out of the room.
"Don't forget to talk to your dad!" she yells.
And she starts cleaning up around the house.
"Kids." she says to herself and sighs.

"Knock knock." Buffy knocks on the door of Angel's study room.
He looks up and invites her in.
"He didn't come ? Did he ?" she asks him and she goes to sit on his lap.
He shakes his head. "I so hoped he'd come this time."
"I know, I told him to come talk to you, but we can't force him to do anything he doesn't want to. And the truth is, he doesn't want to study. He wants to train, and if we can't make him learn, I don't know who can." Buffy says.
"Me neither. But if he doesn't improve his schoolwork soon, he'll be kicked out of school. Maybe even taken from us, cause they will blame us if our child doesn't study. Especially in these dark ages." Angel says.
Buffy stands up and picks up the phone.
"What are you doing ?" Angels asks not knowing what's happening.
Buffy tells him to be quiet.
"Hi, Giles ? I have a problem ? Yeah, it's Sammy. He doesn't want to study, he only wants to train. Yeah, and I was wondering, could you take him for a few weeks ? Train him and make him go to school and stuff ? You can ? Thx. When ? Eum... how about tomorrow ? Okay, I'll put him on a plane first thing tomorrow morning. I'll call you for the arrival hours. Bye. Love ya."
And Buffy hangs up the phone.
Angel looks astonished.
"If Giles can't make him learn, I don't know who can." she says and then she calls to book a flight for Sam and she and Angel discuss about how they're gonna tell him for a while. Then finally Angel decides to tell his son.

The 15 year old Sammy Summers or like he prefers Sam Summers is in his room with his headphone on. You can tell by his moves with his head that he's listening to rock. Or isn't he ?
Angel tries to call out for his son, but he doesn't hear it, so Angel pulls of the headphone. And what kind of music does he hear ? Sam is listening to the song Goodbye To You by Michelle Branch. Angel has a laugh.

"Why did you do that for ?!" Sam yells mad and he lays the CD under his bed and turned it of.
"I have to talk to you, and eum, Michelle Branch, Goodbye To You, that song may be 12 years old, but it's still a good song. For anyone to listen to, nothing you have to be ashamed of, it's really not a girly song." he says.
"Whatever." Sam says, he really doesn't care about it. "What do you want ?" he ask a bit impolite.
"Like I said, I just wanna talk to you." Angel says and he sits down on his son's bed.
"Then talk!"
"Hey! I am still your father, It's bad enough that you don't give a stuff for me, but don't talk to me like I am nothing! I still expect some respect from you." Angels is mad, but he gets past his emotions and tells Sam that they are sending him to London.
Sam jumps up. "What ?!" "You can't do that to me!" "You have no right send me to that old bookworm guy!" He yells.
"Yes we do have that right, and you're going. End of discussion." As Angel says that he walks out of the room and leaves Sam behind, madder then ever.

He's not mad at his mother, just his father, always his father, he's been like this to his father for the past year now. No one knows why. But he sure does know how to make his father cry at night. Angel thinks his son doesn't love that. But Buffy thinks it's because of something else. That's why she's sending him to stay with Giles, in London. Giles will have a lot of work with this kid.


"I love you son, you know that." Angel says.
"Yeah, whatever." Sam then turns to his mom and begs to stay one last time, but Buffy has made up her mind. He's going, end of story.
Then Buffy tells him he loves him and to her, Sam says it back.
His sister then gives him a hug and cries because her brother is leaving for a few weeks.
Even though he doesn't want to go, he reassures his sister that he'll have a great time and that he'll see her soon.
Without looking back, he gets on the plane and flies of to London.

At the airport in London, Giles is waiting for him.
As soon as Giles recognizes Sam, he runs to him. Even though, he is a bit slow for a man his age.
"Hello Sam." Giles says and he gives him a hand.
"Hi. So, are we like gonna read books and stuff all the time I'm here ?" is Sam's first question.
"You'll see, for now, lets just stick with the unpacking of your things." and they walk out of the airport.


Meanwhile in Sunnydale :

"Oh, what's wrong sweetie ?" Buffy asks her daughter after getting back home from the airport.
"Was Sammy a bad boy ?" Sarah asks while pouting.
"Oh, no. Why on earth would you think he's a bad boy ?"
"Because you send him away, he didn't want to tell me the truth, but I saw, I saw how mean he was to daddy, and how daddy told Sammy you were gonna send him to uncle Giles." Sarah explains.
"You eavesdropped on daddy and Sammy's conversation ? You know you're not supposed to do that!" Buffy says a little mad, she thought she had learned her daughter that eavesdropping on someone's conversation is wrong.
Sarah started crying. "I didn't mean to, I was playing with my dollies and I just saw, the dollies told me that the Great Warrior was going to be send away. And then it was when I saw it. I'm sorry mummy." and she gives Buffy a hug while crying.
Buffy is astonished. She had never told her daughter that Sam was the Great Warrior, so how on earth did she know that ?
Buffy pulls her daughter of of her. "Listen, honey. It's okay. You just go inside and play with your toys. I'll be right there." she says and Sarah conjures a smile back on her face and runs inside.

"What was that all about ?" Angel who had stayed on the background, asks.
"I'm not sure." Buffy says and she tells him about her conversation with Sarah.
"Oh Dear Goddess." is all what Angel is able to say.
"Tell me about it, so how do she know ?"
Angel is not able to answer Buffy's question because he doesn't understand it himself.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Buffy and Angel turn their heads to the house, the scream they are hearing is coming from there.
"Sarah!" Buffy runs into the house to Sarah's room, and what she and Angel have just seen, is something neither one can explain.
