Welcome Home?: Part One
by o0Kathryn0o
Disclaimer: If I owned them, why would I be writing pathetic fanfic about them? They belong to JOSS, people! Acid-using Joss--gee, what a way to get peopel NOT to sue.


Rating: TV-13 If you watch Buffy, you can read this. If you watch Buffy with a parent or guradian, you probably shouldn't read this.


Note: Buffy never came back to Sunnydale, her parents are dead, Drusilla and Spike got their souls back during the middle of the summer, but Spike was killed. It is now eleven months after Buffy left Sunnydale. Oh, and Whistler is her "Watcher" for now.


Feedback: Yes, please, that would most excellent (witness my Giles `tude) . If you feel you must flame me, (*sigh*) go ahead.

Part One

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


“Tell me again why I let you convince me to go back”, Buffy Summers groaned, as she looked out the plane window. Whistler grinned as he watched Drusilla hold the armrest tighter as the plane started to take off. He turned his attention back to Buffy.

“Two things. First is, I didn’t *convince* you, you wanted to. I just…nudged.” Buffy snorted.

“Nudged my ass. More like, ‘You got to go back, all your friends are dying!’”

“That’s the second thing. The new slayer can’t take this new demon by herself. She’s not as strong as you are.”

“But I’ve been gone for eleven months! What if they’ve moved? Or, or forgotten me? Or-“

“Buffy, love, Whistler talked to your Watcher. They all miss you greatly, and they haven’t forgotten you. No one else knows of your return though,” Drusilla warned. She had gotten calmer when the plane was in the air.

“Good. I like to surprise people.”


* * *
“Surprise! Look who decided to grace the Library with her presence!” Jessica Addams, the new slayer, bounced into the library, right into Angel’s arms.

“Hey”, he greeted kissing her hair. She smiled at him.

“Hi, Jess”, Willow

“Hey”, Cordelia

“Yo”, Oz

“`Sup?” Xander

“Hel-hello, Jessica”, Giles (duh)

“So, about this prophecy we were talking about yesterday, how do I defeat this boogedy-boogedy man?”

“We-well, you don’t”,

“I don’t?”

“No, I-I’m sorry. It appears you are not strong enough or-or trained enough for it.”

“What do ya mean?!” Jessica cried. “Aren’t I the second strongest slayer that ever lived?”

“Ye-yes, but there is still the matter of the strongest slayer that ever lived,” Giles said.

“The strongest? But, but isn’t she dead?” Jessica was confused, and a little jealous. She knew Angel had loved this slayer before her, and although he didn't exactly love Jessica, per se, she loved him.

“Apparently not”. There was a collective gasp in the room. Buffy was alive?


* * *
“I’ve never felt so alive”, Buffy grumbled sarcastically as she got off the plane and stretched, her eyes adjusting to the evening surroundings. Drusilla and Whistler copied her movements, as they fell into step with her. “How long until we get to the Library?”

“About 5 minutes”, Whistler responded.

“So? What are we waiting for? Let’s go! Um, you guys don’t mind walking…right?”


* * *
“Buffy’s alive?” Oz voiced everyone’s thoughts.

“Ye-yes, actually. And, and she is coming here…soon. I wasn’t exactly aware on the date and time she would arrive. The only information Drusilla gave was soon.”

“Drusilla?!” the Slayerettes and Angel were shocked. Jessica didn’t know who they were talking about.

“Yes, app-apparently she has a soul.”

“Drusilla has a soul?!” Xander cried. “Bu-but, she killed Kendra!”

“Correction”, a voice spoke up, “her demon did.”
