Voice Over (Buffy) It's so strange looking back at my old life, you know dates, the Bronze, school, friends, laughter, even well even love. But here I am, living a new life with out a few of the people who seemed to make it worth living.

Voice (OS): Buffy, you ready??

Buffy: Yea I'm coming now!

Buffy walks out of what appears to be her bedroom to show a long hall with her room at the top of the stairs. Cut to a shot of her walking down the final few steps. Cut to the Summers living room you can see quite a few people live there because it's a big space with multiple couches

Buffy: You know I don't know if I'm ready for this, it's been a long time, maybe you could just skip the first day.

Dawn: But then you would miss the best part, College orientation is fun remember your first day?

Buffy thinks back to her walking around UCSD aimlessly being given multiple flyers.

Buffy: All the more reason I don't want to do this.

Dawn: Well good thing this isn't about you, it's about me now lets go.

Cut to a huge college campus, you see the outside of the main building.

Buffy: Are you sure you want to do this I mean college is highly overrated.

Dawn: Buffy, I need this a few hours away from the house will do me good besides I can't be a watcher if I don't know about the world, and this college has the most curriculum about the Occult in the world, luckily enough for me it's close to home.

Buffy: Okay, just be careful and be home in time for dinner, Xander is coming home tonight so welcome home dinner.

Dawn: I'll be there see you later.

Cut back to the outside of the Summers home, it's a huge mansion looking more like a castle on the English country side.

Willow: Buffy, Giles called they found another one, where should we put her?

Buffy: Put her in the Manchester room, it's got access to the girls bathroom, so we can put here in there.

Willow: You okay? You look all mopey.

Buffy: Yea, just been thinking and with Dawn off to college more thinking I'm all thinked out.

Willow: That does tend to happen with a lot of thinking, you want me to cancel the class at 12:30 so we can catch up?

Buffy: Nah, we have fifty girls, can't just let them run loose.

Willow: We could always put Faith on class duty.

Buffy: Hmm. Would there be a mocha in this catching up thing?

Willow: Just one I tend to be spazzy if I have more. (She giggles at the thought)

Cut to a small english tea and coffee house.

Buffy: Well this had to be the best mocha I have ever had this side of the Atlantic.

Willow: You do realize this is your first mocha since we moved here right?

Buffy: That's why it was so good huh? You know it's weird I keep thinking about all of the changes we've gone through since sophomore year, and I think maybe I'm just tired of it all. The slaying, the death, the carnage. I wish I could just quit and be normal. You know at first when we thought of the spell for the scythe I thought that would happen but it only made things more complicated. Now we have to train these girls to get them ready for what is out there. I just wish I could have a nice long vacation somewhere the water is blue, and the men are tan. (She giggles at the thought)

Willow: There's going to be plenty of time for that, we just need to prepare them show them how to control their powers. We all know what happens if they don't know how to do that.

Buffy: Yea I know. But pretty soon we are going to need to build another house for all these girls. I mean we have a 20 bedroom mansion now, but fifty girls. Anymore and we're going to start having to share our bathroom again.

Willow: No! I will magically build us a house if I have to we are not going back to that, sharing a bathroom with all those girls was more scary than the first. I can't go back to that Buffy!

Buffy: I know I know. At least this time you can actually walk downstairs there is room and not pillows sleeping bags, and blankets everywhere.

Willow: Well I'm just thankful that we have the Councils money I mean to be honest I don't know how we would've survived otherwise.

Buffy: I know, no more flippin burgers at the Double Meat Place for this girl. No siree, Now I am commander in chief over all new recruits of the Slayer Brigade.

Willow: Slayer Brigade?

Buffy: I haven't really thought of a better name yet.

Willow: I see. Well I have to watch over all of the magically interested slayers, which is interesting enough, some of them not so gentle.

Buffy: Should we be heading back?

Willow: Yea. Let me just call Kennedy see if her or Faith want anything.

Buffy: Ok.

Willow goes off screen to talk on her cell phone meanwhile across the street Buffy notices a man and woman holding hands and sighs to herself.

Back at the Summer's home, we now see the back yard, it's a slayers dream for training, and we see Faith and Kennedy working with two separate groups of slayers. Faith, working with them on the their force, Kennedy on the technique.

Kennedy: That's wrong you Maggot! That roundhouse better be higher next class or you'll be doing a hundred push-ups you got it?!

Slayer: Yes Ma'm!

Kennedy: Back in line. Alright, that ends our class today, See you tomorrow.

We see Buffy and Willow approaching. With coffee containers in hand.

Willow: Kennedy, why do you call them maggots? Can't you find something I don't know less mean?

Kennedy: It just reminds them of their place. Don't need any of them thinking they can take over. Gotta keep them alive rule number one Right Buff?

Buffy: Absolutely, rule number one don't die.

Faith comes over to join the other women.

Faith: Sup B?

Buffy: Nothing, just watching your classes. You're both doing really good. I have to say I'm impressed.

Faith: Well, what can I say? I'm one of a kind.

Buffy: To put it lightly, Will did Giles say what time he would be here with the newbie?

Willow: Um, Seven I think what time is dinner?

Buffy: Seven thirty that's when everyone should be back by.

Willow: Okay well I have a class at four so I'm going to go prepare, Kennedy wanna help??

Kennedy: Sure thing!

Willow and Kennedy walk off-screen holding hands talking though we can't hear their conversation.

Faith: If it's ok I'm going to go got a few things to do before Robin gets here tonight

Buffy: Okay see you later.

Faith: You bet. Later B!

Buffy sits thinking to herself.

Voiceover (Buffy) It's so strange a place as big as this and I feel completely alone. I lost Spike, I haven't talked to Angel since he came to Sunnydale, though him working for an evil law firm probably not a good conversation starter. I am still baking, still hoping that I'll find my way. Being a leader was never in the cards, or so I thought. Should I make Chicken or Beef for dinner??

Cut to Buffy in the kitchen. It's a chef's dream and Buffy is seemingly serene in the vastness that is this kitchen. A picture of Joyce hangs on the fridge reminding Buffy of what was important and what she misses the most. Her Mom.

Giles: Well the earth is certainly doomed if you are leading the war on evil.

Buffy's face lights up. She looks up to see Giles standing there with a grin on his face that says all she needs to hear about missing her. She puts down the chicken she was in the beginning of making and runs to give him a hug.

Buffy: Giles I thought you weren't supposed to be in til seven.

Giles: The train was early, so we got here rather quickly. Got to love the English trains.

Buffy: So tell me about this new girl.

Giles: Courtney, 17 years old, reminds me of a bit of Dawn, and very excited she's from Austria, speaks wonderful English, and a good girl or so it seems. She has a certain zest.

Buffy: Oh no! You said that once before and I had to deal with a rogue slayer. Not zest.

Giles: Yes, I don't imagine that would be something to look forward to. All things considered though that did turn out well. In the end.

Buffy: Yea I know. So where is she?

Giles: The living room meeting some of the other girls, want to come with me?

Buffy: Of course.

Buffy walks into the living room we saw in the earlier scenes to show a girl resembling Dawn standing there looking wide eyed at all the people around her.

Giles: Courtney, this is Buffy Summers she runs this establishment.

Buffy: Nice to meet you Courtney, I hope you had a nice ride down here.

Courtney: Yes, it was nice Mr. Giles was filling me in the history of this place and you Ms. Summers.

Buffy: Well hopefully he was nice. (She turns around to give Giles one of those you better have been nice looks) Let's get you settled then, you can go upstairs and stay in the Manchestor room, as you can see with so many girls you will be sharing a room but I can tell you you will have great seasoned roommates to help you adjust. (As she turns to two girls standing there looking at the new girl) Lily, Meredith, can you show her where her room is?

Lily: Yes Ma'm.

Giles: Well when does Xander arrive?

Buffy: Half an hour, speaking of which where is Dawn?

Voice (OS) I see I've been missed?

Buffy: Yes, tell us all about your first day, and help me set up for dinner.

Dawn: Hey Giles!

She runs over to hug the man with a daughters affection.

Giles: Hello Dawn.

Dawn: So college was to say the least interesting, I met two demons.(Giles and Buffy exchange a worried look.) Don't worry, they were the non slit your throat and kill you type. (You can see the relief in their eyes) But who knew so many term papers would be a part of being a watcher, you know you really should have warned me.

Giles: Oh I am sorry, how very foolish of me!

Willow (OS): He's here! He's here!
