Enchanted. A new teacher comes to the new Sunnydale High and Dawn helps her out. To everyone's surprise the teacher has other skills besides teaching. 7th season of Buffy, no specific ep.
Xander drives Dawn and Buffy to school, to the school he wishes they weren't going to, but Dawn needs to at least finish high school and Buffy needs to work. Dawn kisses Xander on the cheek and gets out of the car. Buffy smiles at Xander and pats him on the shoulder as she gets out of the car right after Dawn.
"Be careful," says Xander. "The both of you."
"I will," replies Dawn. "See you after school."
"Yeah, Dad," Buffy jokes. "We'll be good." Buffy smiles at Xander as she closes the passenger door.
Xander shakes his head as he watches his both girls head into the school. Xander then says, "Very funny, Buff."
"You can't be the only comedic relief." Buffy grins at him.
"Oh, so you're taking my job, Buff?"
"Sorry, Xand." Buffy continues to walk into the school. Dawn nods her head and shrugs at Xander. She then continues to enter the school.
Dawn doesn't look where she is going and crashes into someone. The other person's stuff falls to the ground. "Oops, I'm so sorry." Dawn helps pick up the mess.
"It's okay," says the girl. "I wasn't watching where I was going." The girl looks over to Xander in his car as he begins to pull away. She sighs and continues to pick up her things.
"Are you new here?" asks Dawn.
"Yes, I'm Ms. Lee. Katharine Lee." She extends her hand out to Dawn and Dawn shakes it.
"Ms. Lee?"
"I'm a substitute teacher."
"Oh, you look kind of young to be a teacher."
"They always tell me that." Katharine pushes her glasses up. "I need to get to room 112."
"That's where I'm heading. Follow me." Dawn hands her the papers she picked up for her and starts to walk into the school. Katharine follows her.
"Did you just move into Sunnydale?"
"No, I've lived her for a while. Went to UC Sunnydale for two years. Came from LA."
"Oh, my sister was in UC Sunnydale."
"Really, what was her major?"
"Um, don't remember. She kind of had to stop going because of me. She had to take care of me."
"Oh, that's too bad."
"She works here. Maybe you'll see her. She's a counselor."
"I guess things are looking up."
"I guess so."
"What's her name?"
"Buffy. Buffy Summers. I'm Dawn Summers by the way."
"Okay, I'll remember that. Oh, do you know where the principal's office is?"
"Down that way. Big red door. Won't miss it."
"Got it."
"Well, here it is."
"Thank you."
"No problem. See you in a little bit." Dawn heads down the hallway to her locker.
Katharine enters the classroom and heads over to the desk in the middle of the room. She puts her stuff down, then sighs as she looks around the room.
A little while later her class starts to come in. She puts on a smile and sits down in the chair as a bunch of teenagers enter the classroom. Katharine waves at Dawn when she comes in and Dawn waves back. When the bell rings, Katharine stands up and takes a deep breath. She had hoped the students didn't notice that it was her first time she is teaching teenagers. Katharine preferred Elementary kids.
"Good morning," says Katharine. "I'm your substitute teacher. Your teacher left me her lesson plan and it says here that you're reading Macbeth by Shakespeare. Your teacher says that you had homework, so why don't we go over it first?"
The teens begin to rustle through their bags for their homework. Katharine walks over to the front of her desk and leans on it. They then begin to discuss the homework. After that, she collects it and they began reading from Macbeth, where they had left off. Before they know it, the bell rang and the teens started to gather their things.
"Okay, make sure you have the questions for the scenes we read in class today from Macbeth." Katharine puts her book down and watched the teens leave the room. She gives a sigh of relief, then she grabs her purse and heads to the principal's office. On her way, she bumps into someone in a suit and blue shirt.
"Oh, sorry," they both say at the same time. Her glasses fall off and the person that bump into her goes down to pick them up. Katharine looks up and sees that it is the same guy she saw up front when she walked into the school and crashed into Dawn. She bows her head and tries not to blush in front of him. He is carrying a blue lunch bag then he hands her glasses to her. Katharine smiles and thanks him as she takes her glasses.
"My fault," says Xander. "I was trying to get this lunch to someone."
"Your kid?" says Katharine, thinking that he's married and has a house with two point kids, a dog, and a bird. The perfect family and that there is no way he'd be single.
"No, well, sort of." Xander smiles at that. "I just take her to school. She forgot her lunch in the car."
"Oh." Katharine is happy as can be.
"Well, it was nice bumping into you…"
"Katharine."
"Katharine." Xander smiles at her and Katharine likes that and smiles back at him. Xander passes by her.
"It was nice bumping into you, too." Katharine says this really low and after Xander was halfway down the hall. "Smooth Katharine. Real smooth." She nods her head and continues to head to the principal's office.
When she arrives, Principal Wood sees her immediately. He invites her to his office and they talk. Wood checks her records, which she had promised to bring on her first day. She is surprised that they accepted her without a record check.
"Well, Ms. Lee, you're going to enjoy it here at Sunnydale High," says Principal Wood with a welcoming smile. She shakes his hand and he leads her out of his office. Katharine then sees the guy she had bumped into near a blonde woman. He places the lunch bag on her desk.
Katharine then starts thinking to herself that perhaps that could be his girlfriend. A handsome guy like that has to have a girlfriend if he is not married. It was a hopeless cause for her to be attracted to a guy that isn't single. She begins to think 'I'll bet they're going to kiss.'
Then to her surprise the young man leans down and kisses the blonde girl on the lips. Katharine turns around and makes her way out of the office as quickly as she could.
Xander releases Buffy's lips and is surprised at himself for actually kissing Buffy. Part of him was saying 'way to go Xander' and the other part was saying 'your going to get slapped. Buffy looks at him in shock.
"Xander, why did you do that?" asks Buffy.
"I don't know," says Xander. "I just got an urge to do it."
"I mean…I think I like it, but…" Buffy scratches her head and begins to think why she would like. Okay, he's her Xander but she's never really felt that way about Xander since the day she met him. It was strange. She sees him as her brother but when they kiss she wanted him.
"It's weird."
"Hellmouth. It's gotta be that." Needing an excuse to compensated for both of their urges.
"Thanks, Buff."
"Sorry, Xand."
"I'll keep an eye on the guys at the construction site. Make sure there isn't any of this happening about. You should be careful. That principal Wood might a thing for you."
"Alright. I'll stay on the alert Xander.We'll talk about this later."
"Come on, I didn't kiss that bad."
"Xander, it was nice, but still weird."
Xander rolls his eyes and leaves the office. Some of the other employees at the office go up to Buffy and compliment her on the hot boyfriend bringing her lunch. Buffy blushes at the thought of Xander being her boyfriend and decides to go with it. She doesn't know what to tell them since she herself has no idea why the kiss happened.
After school, Dawn says goodbye to her friends and walks over to Xander's car. Katharine is walking out of the school and sees Dawn getting into Xander's car. She thinks that's the girl he was bringing the lunch to and the blonde must be Dawn's sister, Buffy.
"They make a cute family," says Katharine to herself. Then someone on a bike almost collides with her. "Stop!"
Suddenly, Katharine falls to the floor, but when she looks up she sees her papers floating in the air and not moving. The biker as well is not moving either. She gets up and sees the whole front of the school completely frozen.
