Giles sped to the 1630 Rovello Drive. All three Summers women meant a great deal to him. Buffy was the daughter he never had, Dawn had become a great deal more important to him since Buffy started her more rigorous training schedule. Joyce, oh Lord, Joyce. The feelings he had for Joyce... Joyce was quite a woman. She was the mother of a Vampire Slayer. A single mother with two daughters, fully in charge of running a moderately sized and fairly successful art gallery.
Now, she was gone.
And Buffy was alone in the house with her.
That thought alone made his foot press harder on the gas.

Xander paused outside Sunnydale Middle School. He was more than a little nostalgic. In high school, he, Buffy and Willow had been the Three Musketeers, or the Three Stooges, it just depended if they were being insulted by the school as a whole at that moment or not. But Buffy had replaced someone when she had moved to town, Xander’s best friend, Jesse.
In elementary, but largely in middle school, Jesse, Xander and Willow had been inseparable. They had as many classes together as humanly possible, they walked into school together and left the same way. Then Buffy came and wasn’t able to save Jesse from being kidnapped by vampires and then turned into one to be used as bait for the Slayer and her new friends. Xander had been holding the stake that Jesse had accidentally been impaled upon.
It had been five long years since then, but the memories still came back. There wasn’t a death whose mention failed to remind him of how he lost his first childhood friend.
Xander shook his head, ran his fingers through his shaggy brown hair, then entered the building of his past to claim the youngest Summers.
