I Still Remember:
By: LOSTwitch

Your words still ring through my head: "Buffy, you're not like other girls." That's what you told me. I simply answered you: "Yes, I am." However, you knew that I was a Slayer. It didn't matter to you though. You liked me for me. I wish you were here now.

It seems no one understands me the way you did. I still can't believe that I'm thinking of you now at a time like this. Here, I am walking through the graveyard waiting for a vamp and I'm thinking of you. I guess I miss you.

If only you could see me now. I'm so different from when I saw you last. I'm better with this Slaying thing. It's all thanks to my new Watcher Giles. He has trained me well. I still miss Merrick but I don't want to think of that right now. I just want to think about you.

Anyway, I have new friends too. I met them after I left LA. They became my friends and like you they soon found out that I was a Slayer. Willow and Xander (they) didn't take too well when they found out there were vampires. It was a major shock to them but they soon delt with it. I think you and Xander would get along because you are both crazy. I mean that in a good way. lol. Willow would probably have thought you were so cute, which I would agreed with her.

Then there is Angel. My boyfriend. I forgot to mention that he's a vampire. That one is a long story so I'm not going to start on that. I mean I love him and all but he's not you. You know how hard it is when all you can worry about is when will come the day that I would have to Slay him.

For once I want to feel again the way I felt when I was with you. When I was with you I felt like a normal teenager. That's something that I haven't felt in a long time.

Wait a minute! Great my thoughts getting interrupted! Man, I so do not need this now! "All right! Whoever is behind me better start running now because I'm not in the mood!" I spin around with my stake in my hand. I drop it in shock. It can't be. "Pike!"

"Hey Buffy, how ya been?"

Fin.
