Joss and the WB own everything except the imaginary characters that I created based upon his characters.
Author's Note: The story takes place sometime AFTER the episode "Becoming". Preferably after Joss decides to allow Buffy to bring Angel back from Hell.

Part One
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joyce gave a small sigh as she hung up the phone.
As Joyce Summers warmed up the spagetti and meat sauce, she quietly reflected on the tremedous changes that had occurred in her life. Finding out that your daughter was a Chosen one to fight the vampires and demons in the world was a hard thing to swallow. It was even harder to realize that your daughter had a shorter life expectantcy than yourself. thought Joyce with a grimace. But it was hell of a lot easier to know where her daughter was and what she was doing. After that small stint of Buffy's disappearance from her life, Joyce realized that it was better to know everything about the life of slayers and her daughter than to know nothing at all. So she decided to become an asset to her daughter, rather than a liability. Her daughter was the Slayer, and she was the Slayer's mother. And so, that was that.
said Joyce in her best impression of the British librarian who was her daughter's Watcher. Joyce winced as she remembered the times when he had to physically restrain her from going after Buffy. All the scratches, bruises and that one nasty kick in the groin. < I have got to do something nice for him, one of these days. > Giles was a nice man, and the relationship between her and the Watcher was steadily growing better. It was hard to forgive a man that advised her daughter to lie to her mother. Even if it was for the mother's own safety. At the time, the only thing that she could understand was that he was teaching her daughter how to survive. That was the only thing that redeemed him in her eyes. That he was helping to keep Buffy safe from the creatures of the night. And now he was willing to teach Joyce some defense tactics to protect the Slayer's mother.
A cold shiver went through Joyce as she stood up to take the food out from the microwave. She looked at the clock. It was eleven and it was the darkest that Joyce had ever seen. It seems that all the nights look more foreboding now that she knew how easily she could lose her baby. Joyce reflected with a sigh. There was a chill in her bones that she still couldn't shake and could not like. There was something bothering her, but she couldn't place what.
Three hours later, Joyce and Giles were speeding down to the pier. When she saw to police cars, Joyce started praying with all her soul. When she saw an officer hold up a body covered with a sheet that had a head of blonde hair showing, she felt an animal noise come from her throat. When the officer moved to look at her, and she got a look at the jacket the body was wearing, she started screaming.
