Joss Whedon owns all the Buffy characters. Any others are mine. (unless noted.)

Dawn made her way down to the training room. Buffy was there just like every day. It's like
she lived there now.
"Buffy" said Dawn, "please take a day off."
"Can't, have to be ready." It had been three moutns since that night, when Justine had been reveled
as The Slayer Mob's leader. Dawn hadn't been there, but apparently she, and Buffy had a one, one one.
Buffy lost.
"Buffy, you'd been out of slaying almost seven years. You were just rusty, you'll get her But not if you
psych yourself out, before you."
"SHE ALMOST KILLED YOU! They did kill Giles! And I let her beat me!" She put her hand though
the wall.
"Buffy no, it wasn't your fault, what happened."
"Hey" said Xander, as he made his way downstairs, "Just wanted you to know Lunch is ready, don't
kill me."
"Don't worry" said Dawn, as she kissed him, "I'll protect you."
Buffy smiled, as they kissed. True she overreacted, when she found out about them (And by over react,
she beat the shit out of him) but after thinking about it, Dawn was in the best hands, she could ask for.
"I'm sorry guys. I don't mean to be scary Buffy. Well, I mean to scare Justine, but I'm sorry."
"It's Ok Buff" said Xander, Just remember I'm not in construction anymore, you we have to hire people.
And they want money. Their funny that way."
"Anything new?"
"Not so much. It's like they've dropped off the face of the earth. Don't get me wrong, I'd like it, if they did.
But we're not that lucky."
Upstairs Faith was vainly trying to poor cereal. Since she'd lost her hand, to the mob, everyday chores
had become painfully hard. "FUCK IT" she yelled, as she threw the box across the room.
"Hey, pick on a box your own size" said Jason Crow, as he walked into the room. He had long hair,
wearing a long leather coat, and a Black Sabbath T-shirt.
Go to hell, Asshole" she said, as she flipped him off, "You try having one hand! (She looked at her prosthetic
hand) I mean shouldn't we have like robot hands by now?"
"They do, they just haven't told the people yet."
"Ok, to early for conspiracy theories."
"Come on, don't be like that. I made you a present." He gives her a box.
"What is it?" She opens it, and it looks like her prosthetic, but without a hand.
"My idea. Since we need people that can carry weapons, you put it on, and well (He opens another case,
and it has sword, and other weapon, without handles theirs even a crossbow) You get the idea."
"Ok, you've seen evil dead to many times. (She picks up the crossbow, and tries it out, by shooting an
arrow at his head, just barley missing him.) Hey works great, thanks J,"
"SHIT, CRAZY BITCH! (she leaves the room, as His sister Ashley walks in) That bitch is lethal!"
"Hey, your the one that gave her weapons of mass destruction. You seen the news, today?
Congress is publicly acknowledging that something is happening, and people with powers are appearing.
They pressuring the President to take action."
"Sigh, well we knew this was coming. At least they had the sense to impeach President Swanegger.
So we don't have to deal with him. but it's going to be bad."
Willow sat by herself, on the patio. Oz went to her." Hey, "He said.
"Hey, just thinking."
"I guess I don't have to ask about what. It wasn't your fault."
"I know. But we'd spent so much time fighting. I wasted the last weeks of Kenny's life. I know she was
wrong to go after you, like she did, but she was protecting me, and I knew that. I just didn't care."
"Look, she wouldn't want you do beat yourself up. She'd want you to keep going."
"I miss her (She starts to cry) I'm lonely."
"I know. But you do have good friends (Takes her hand) and you have me."
"Then I am lucky."

A young girl, and her mother walk though a store. The girl is showing early pregnancy.
"Hey Katie" said a young boy, "How's Jesus?"
"Leave me alone," she said.
"Oh come on, I just want to feel the savior kick." He grabs her stomach, and she slaps him away,
"STOP IT, JUST GO AWAY!"
"KATIE" said her mother. Then she turned to the boy, "You bastards!"
"No, that's your grand kid, that's the bastard. And it's mom's a fruitcake." She slaps the boy, and goes for
Katie.
"I'm not a liar mom, and I'm not crazy. I know how it sounds, but I'm really a virgin!"
"It's Ok baby" said the mom, though she was doubting her daughters sanity, "Let's just go home."
From the Shadows Justine, and her second in command Jamie watched. "Is that her,"said Jamie?
"Yes. but they'll be out to kill her. We may have to give are lives, but it's worth it. We will protect
her, so are savior can be born."
