~The Prologue~

On a night when I was weary
Of the ceaseless and monotonous study
Of dead poets and their oeuvres dreary
I decided to be naughty
And dismissed sirs Milton and Shelley
In order to concoct this very summary.

I am announcing my intention
To write a piece of fiction
For which I will not receive remuneration
So please do not take legal action
Because of the misappropriation
Of the characters of Joss Whedon.
(Owned by a monolothic corporation,
But enough with the digression!)

This story deviates from canon
Sometime during the Fourth Season
On the unfortunate occasion
Fair Buffy awoke in the body of another person.
In this particular version
Our heroine became overzealous in her desire for retribution
And comitted an unforgivable infraction
That sets our entire story in motion...

Pardon the brevity of this introduction
As there are other matters that demand my attention
(Namely, an impending English examination)
But fear not for I will recommence my composition
After I address the issue of my education.

A/N: No, the whole thing isn't going to be written in rhyme- I'm just playin'.
