Miami, Florida
I thought it was all over, I thought the first was finished and I could live a normal life.
The alarm clock goes off at 8:15 A.M. Buffy shuts the alarm off.
Dawn's away in England training to be a watcher, I have an apartment all my own, and led my own life.
Buffy showers, gets out dries off, gets dressed, does her hair and makeup. She heads out the door and walks down the street.
I have a normal life, a job, a place to hang out and have a drink after a long hard day, I get to be a 22 year old woman, single, free and loving it.
Buffy leaves a restaurant, she walks down the street under a lamp. She takes in the palm trees, and warm air, the salt water in the air.
The beauty of Florida is nothing goes bump in the night, like I said, I thought I could lead a normal life for once.
A harbringer lunges at Buffy and knocks her to the ground.
Turns out I was wrong.
Buffy tosses the bringer off, she jumps to her feet and kicks him in the chest, she spin kicks him across his head. She grabs his knife and stabs him in the stomach. He falls down and dies. Two more bringers come at her. She snap kicks one and the backhand punches the other, she sweeps them both to the ground and quickly stabs them. Buffy tosses the knife to the side.
"Son Of A Bitch!"
London, England
Rupert Giles has restarted the watchers council as the head of it, as his first action he opened an Academy for slayers, to train and hone their skills. Today the school is 4,000 students strong. Giles sits in his office as the head master of the school. His phone rings.
"Hello, this is Rupert Giles how may I help you?"
"Giles."
"Buffy, my, hello."
"Hey, listen I ran into some trouble last night."
"What kind?"
"Bringers, three of them. I think the first is back in action."
"Oh dear God, Buffy call the others you must get her right away."
"Sure thing."
Giles hangs up the phone, he takes his glasses off and cleans them.
"Well, well Rupert, you?re doing quite well for yourself."
Giles puts his glasses on and sees that it's Jenny Calendar before him.
"Have you missed me all these years?"
"You're not her."
"Well isn't that just rude, I compliment you and you insult me."
"You're the first, you're not welcome here."
"Like that can stop me Rupert, you got a lot of girls here and that pesky slayer and friends should be on their way too, and when everyone arrives I have a little message for all of them. So until then."
The first waves and then disappears.
Cleveland, Ohio
Willow steps out of the shower in her nice penthouse like apartment in downtown Cleveland. She turns the water off and steps out. She dries herself off with a towel. There?s a knock at her door, she wraps herself up in her towel and goes to the door. She goes to her door and looks through the peep hole. She smiles when she sees it's Xander with not one but both his eyes. She unlocks and opens the door.
"Xander."
"Hey Will."
She lets him in and closes the door behind him.
"I catch you at a bad time?"
"No, I just have to get dressed and blow dry my hair."
"So the usual."
"Yep."
"So Alexander Levelle Harris, how's that new eye I magically gave you treating you?"
"Great, I love it, I can use both eyes again."
"I thought you would."
Xander looks at her.
"What is it Xander?"
"I just like looking at you with both of my eyes."
Willow smiles. She goes into her room and comes out a few minutes later dressed.
"I'm going to blow dry my hair, so just sit down have something to drink."
"Buffy called me."
"How is she?"
"Pissed, she was attacked by bringers, we gotta meet in England, I got us tickets, we have a four o'clock flight."
"Well thank God it?s only twelve."
"Gives us plenty of time."
Willow plugs in her blow dryer and begins drying her hair. The door opens and Kennedy walks in.
"Hey Xander."
"Hey ya Kennedy, how goes it?"
"It goes, I dusted at least six vamps last night, it was great."
"Well, that?s good."
"It is."
Willow puts her hair dryer down and walks out.
"Hey Kennedy."
"Hey Willow."
They kiss each other.
"I'm going to England for a few days."
"I'll come with you."
"No, I think you should just stay here, this is Scooby gang stuff, it involve me, Xander, Giles and Buffy."
"Oh, so I'm not part of the Scooby gang?"
"Not really, you're a slayer, a newbie sort of, yet to earn your stripes."
"I see, well doesn't matter, I can occupy myself by patrolling and killing vampires."
"That"s the spirit."
Later
Willow and Xander get on the plane.
"So was it just me or did Kennedy seem kinda pissed that she wasn"t going with us to England."
"She was, she's been a lot angrier lately."
"Why, permanent PMS?"
Willow smacks him on the arm.
"No, it's because I've been a lot more distant lately."
"Why?s that?"
"Because, I've been having thoughts, lots of thoughts, lots of non-lesbian thoughts."
"Talk to me Will."
"Well lately I've been thinking and coming to conclusions of sorts that maybe my only true lesbian love was Tara, that maybe I'm not lesbian but bi, so I like girls, but I've found myself checking out guys as well, lots of guys, hot guys in a non-lesbian way."
"So basically, you?re a twenty-two year old woman, discovering more about herself."
"Yes."
Xander smiles.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"No, you got something face, not nothing face, and don't try and lie to me Xander, I know everything about you."
"I know, tell you what, in due time, when I?m ready, I'll tell you what, deal?"
"Deal."
The plan begins down the runway and takes off into the air. Willow grabs Xander's arm.
"I hate flying on air planes."
"A powerful Wicca, almost destroyed the world once, yet she fears the airplanes in the open sky."
Willow hits him.
"Just let me latch on."
Xander holds her hand while bother are wrapped around his arm.
"Latch all you want for as long as you want."
Willow smiles. Xander lays his head back closes his eyes and lets a little smile spread across his lips.
London, England
Willow and Xander arrive at the school grounds. They look around.
"Wow this place is huge."
"Hey guys."
Xander and Willow shift their view to Buffy walking towards them.
"Buffy!" Willow exclaims excitedly.
"Buffster!"
They run towards her and the three of them have a nice group hug.
"I missed you guys." Buffy says.
"Hello all and welcome to the slayer academy." Giles says from behind them.
"Gotta say I'm impressed Rupert." Xander says.
"You haven't seen anything yet. Come along."
They walk to the inside.
"I have the more seasoned slayers Vi, Rona, and others training the newer girls, Dawn has become a great watcher and doing a good job at training the girls."
They walk into the gym where a large group of girls are all in formation and following Dawn's every move.
"She's really quite impressive."
Buffy looks on amazed at the number of girls and at her little sister training them so well.
"Andrew has proven to be a rather good watcher as well, he holds classes educating the girls with his knowledge of vampires and other demons."
"You got one hell of a school here Giles." Willow says.
Buffy goes to the front of the gym. She smiles at Dawn who then runs at her and hugs her.
"Buffy!"
"Hey Dawnie."
The other girls stop and stare, amazed at the sight before the slayer. The girl of girls. The original holder of their power, the reason they are the way they are. Buffy looks at them and smiles.
"Uh, hi guys."
Soon
Buffy, Giles, Dawn, Willow, and Xander walk into Giles' office. They take a seat.
"Well, it?s time to get down to business. Buffy." Giles says.
"I was attacked by Bringers two nights ago. So I'm starting to think that after a two yea hiatus the first is back in action."
"I must agree with that since it paid me a visit, just after I got off the phone with you. It appeared to me as Jenny."
"Oh man." Xander says.
"And everyone is here." The first says.
Buffy stands up.
"Get out of here."
"Sit down little girl, I have a message for you."
"Just spill it or shut up."
"Very well,. I have new plans in motion now, there's a new hell mouth in Cleveland and my army is beginning to outnumber the humans on earth, so soon, very soon, I will be made flesh. I want all of you there, so that I can kill you each one by one."
The first then gives them a smirk and disappears.
"So what now?" Dawn asks.
"Well, it looks like we're paying a visit to the hell mouth." Giles says.
"I think I have enough room for the five of us in my apartment." Willow says.
"Six of us." Xander says.
"Six of us." Willow repeats.
