Notes: If you don't know the show here's a link that tells you everything: http/abc.

"So will you be here long Buff?" Julie asked her older cousin as she handed her the cup.

"Don't know yet", Buffy admitted.

"Just needed to get away from Sunnyhell" she shuddered after realizing where she had learnt that word. He had been away for over a month and she still couldn't sleep without seeing his face leering down at her.

At first she had almost been thankful at what happened with Willow but she was now back to the same old redhead that they knew and loved. And Buffy was back to thinking about him.

"You okay?" she turned to see Julie looking concerned.

"Yeah", she lied "Just a long journey is all", she put the cup down.

"Where is she anyway". Julie gave her directions and excused herself so she could go up and finish her homework.

Forgetting what was said already she stopped a redhead women who was passing her.

"Excuse me can you tell me where Mrs Solis lives please?" she asked as politely as she could.

"I'm actually going there if you want to walk with me?" Buffy nodded in agreement and they crossed the road.

As they waited on the door being answered Buffy took the time to study the street. It was obvious everybody knew what everyone else was doing here and she didn't like it one bit. She had just hoped to god that Susan hadn't told anybody her secret.

"Can I help you?" Buffy jumped at the voice and turned to find she couldn't see the redhead anywhere.

Looking towards the door she saw a man standing there looking at her.

"Help …oh…yeah is Susan here?", she smiled at him.

He gave her a grin

"Sure come in", he moved so she could walk in the door.

"Elizabeth Anne Summers you said you would phone" Susan come running towards her and gave her a hug.

"Sorry I forgot", the blonde apologized. "

Come on let me introduce you to everyone", she dragged Buffy into the kitchen.

"Buffy this is Bree Van De Kamp, Lynette Scavo and Gabrielle Solis".

A cough came from behind her.

"Oh and this is Edie Britt", she sighed.

Buffy's smiled faltered when the woman's name was mentioned. She didn't like the way she had treated her aunt over that Mike guy.

"Do you play poker Buffy?" Gabrielle asked.

"No I tried to learn but wasn't to be", she smiled.

"Well why don't you go in and watch some TV until Susan is finished".

Buffy thanked her and walked into the living room.

"Whose soul did you have to sell to get this place?" she whispered to herself as she walked in.

"My own actually", Buffy turned to see the man who answered the door walk in the room with an older woman.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean", Buffy stuttered. "What's your name child?" the woman asked

"Buffy", she replied.

Juanita laughed "A typical California girl yes"

Buffy nodded.

"Maybe a little", she smiled.

"Come sit beside me Buffy and tell me about yourself", she patted the seat next to her.

Buffy hesitated and then sat down.

"So do you have a family Buffy?", she looked at the younger woman.

"A sister", Buffy answered.

"What about parents?" Juanita asked.

Buffy looked down as she continued "My Mom died a few years ago and my dad left when I was younger", she admitted.

"So you care for your sister then?", Carlos spoke for the first time.

Buffy looked at him as if he had three heads. "I couldn't let them take her away", was all she said.

She thanked god when Susan came into the room so they could go home.

Carlos got them to the door.

"I'm sorry about my mother", he whispered.

"It's okay", Buffy smiled

"Mine was just the same".

As she walked out the door she bumped into a bare chest.

"Oh your hot", she gasped before realizing where she was

"I mean it's really hot isn't it", she grinned hoping she had got away with it.

"I'm John", the man held his hand out.

"This is Buffy I tell you what why don't you take her to the party tonight?" Susan rattled.

"Sure okay", John nodded.

"You don't have to", Buffy nudged Susan.

"No it's okay", John smiled at her.

END FLASHBACK

That had been over a month ago and since then she decided to stay a bit longer. She had also arranged for Dawn to move in too. She was dating but it was nothing too serious especially after Spike, which worked out perfectly with John.

"Dawn, Julie will you two hurry up?", she yelled at her little sister.

She had taken them to the local mall to buy something for Susan's birthday

The girls were chatting to a couple of boys and Buffy didn't like the look of them.

"Want me to take them out for you?", she jumped but calmed down when she saw it was Carlos.

She then noticed Gabrielle and Juanita standing beside him. She said her hellos

"Don't tempt me", she laughed.

"John not with you?", Gabrielle asked.

Buffy noticed the strange look that Gabrielle gave her and the same one that Juanita was giving Gabrielle right at this minute.

"No he's away out with his flatmate on a double date", Buffy answered while staring through the shop window.

"Date", Gabrielle yelled.

The other three turned to look at her.

"How could he do that to you?", she covered herself.

"Oh I don't care", Buffy shrugged "It's not as if he's the love of my life", she sighed as Dawn and Julie finally came out the shop.

"Could you take any longer?", she groaned at them.

" Could you moan any more?", Dawn answered back.

"I'll see you later", she groaned to the Solis' as she herded the two teenage girls towards the car.

Her phone rang just as she was walking into the house

"Hi oh okay you want me to pick you up okay see you then", she put her phone back in the purse and looked at Dawn.

"That was Willow, Xander and her will be here later on", she told her little sister who was having fits right now.

"Hey babe", John came up behind her.

"Can you two take these in for me?", she handed the bags to Dawn and Julie then turned back to John.

"What's up?", she accepted the kiss he gave her.

"I can't make it tonight sweetheart", he apologized. "My mom wants me to have a family dinner".

Which was why later on that night she was in the club with Willow and Xander.

"She reminds me of Cordelia" Buffy said.

They were talking about Gabrielle and her attitude.

"It like if she sees another woman within a foot of her she's defensive".

"So how does her old man cope with it all then?", Xander asked ogling all the women around the club.

"He's actually quite nice I don't know how they got together but he's a bit stuffy though", she answered finishing her drink and looking around.

That's when she noticed something on the dance floor

"The lying son of a bitch", she growled.

There was John dirty dancing with some half-dressed hussy.

"He said he was with his family tonight", she groaned.

Her eyes widened when she saw who was with him.

She was making eye contact with Gabrielle Solis.
