I always wanted to write a post "Chosen" fiction ever since I saw the
finale, but I never knew what to write. So, I just came up with some ideas
and figured I'd better right them down before I forget. This takes place a
few years after "Chosen." I didn't want to do it right after that episode
ended; I wanted some time to pass. This would basically start out as
everyone getting together after about four years, catching up with each
other about what has been going on with their lives. Since it is Buffy
though there will have to be some evil involved, but it's all good. It
will be Buffy and Spike eventually, but be patient my children. I know how
you all love your Spuffy and I did the best I could with it. It's really
cute, well I think so. I hope I did okay with this. Feel free to let me
know, I do try after all=)
Chapter 1
Buffy Summers was sitting in her room in Cleveland looking at her photo album that she put together. She was bored and felt like going down memory lane. She came across a picture that she took of Anya years ago and traced it with her finger. She was never that close to the other girl, but she did consider her a good friend at times and she missed her. Buffy missed how uncomfortable she used to make everyone with her sex talk and constant broadcasting of all the orgasms that Xander would give her. Buffy couldn't help but smile when she thought of that. The loss still affected Xander dearly and Buffy didn't know if he would ever get over her, but he was trying and getting better and she was glad to be there for him. She then came across a picture of an old family photo of her, Dawn, and Joyce. Buffy smiled at the picture and kissed her mother's face. "I wish you were here." She whispered to herself. She also couldn't help but notice how young Dawn looked; she couldn't believe how much she has grown in the last few years. She was a beautiful young woman now like Buffy always knew she would grow up to be. Buffy smiled again as she heard the front door open and a familiar voice.
"Honey, I'm home." The man said as he walked into the apartment. Buffy rolled her eyes and left her room to greet him with a smile on her face.
"You know that's getting a bit old." He smiled as he looked at her.
"Yeah, but I do it because I know it annoys you." Buffy smiled at him and noticed that he had bags in his hands.
"Oooooooooh, groceries. Thank god, I was sick of living off bread and water." She told him as she took the bags from him and put them in the kitchen. He nodded and looked at her.
"You okay, you seem tired?" Buffy sighed.
"Bored is more like it. We are technically on a Hellmouth right? If that is the case then why is it so dull here?" He shrugged.
"I couldn't tell you, but I figured after all that you've been through you would welcome some boredom." Buffy shrugged also.
"I guess, but I realized that it's not really my style. I always need to kill something." He laughed at her.
"Always the Slayer." He told her and she smiled in return.
"Don't you forget it." She then smirked at him. "Hey, do you think you could give me one of your massages that you're so good at. I'm feeling a bit tense." He rolled his eyes.
"You know, I think that is the only reason you like having me around. I'm feeling taken advantage of." She gave him a puppy dog look that her and Dawn were still so good at.
"Please, Robin. I'm desperate right about now." He sighed and walked behind her and put his hands on her shoulders and gently rubbed.
"That's not fair; you know I hate it when you give me that look. No one can resist it." She smiled as she felt the tension leaving her body.
"I know, it's a gift." She said as she strained to look at him. "So, where's your better half?" She asked him.
"She was outside getting the rest of the bags, but she should have been back in by now. My guess is she stopped to talk to the neighbor, or yell at him I should say. I think she is trying very hard to not kill him." Robin said and Buffy laughed.
"I know, I swear I fill the same way about that guy. He's such a perv; he's like 40-years-old and always hitting on Dawn. You do not know how much I feel like kicking his ass." Robin smiled as Faith finally walked through the door. "Speak of the devil." Buffy said and Faith glared at her.
"I am close to showing that guy just what Slayer strength is all about. If he calls me sweet stuff one more time he will regret it." She told them as she put the rest of the bags in the kitchen. Buffy nodded as Robin went to put the groceries away, trying not to laugh. "You should have seen the store today, B. It was packed, I mean like damn." Faith told her friend.
"I'll believe it." Faith looked at both of them.
"How about we get away from here for a while? I don't know about you guys, but Cleveland is a bit too boring for my taste. I'm in the mood for some action and I know you are too." She said pointing at Buffy.
"Tell me about it, so what did you have in mind?" Faith smiled.
"Well, I was thinking that we could maybe head to LA for a bit." Buffy sighed, she knew that was coming.
"Faith, I don't know about that." Faith rolled her eyes and Robin just smiled.
"Come on, Buffy. You need to get away from here for a while. You can't avoid him forever you know." Buffy looked at her.
"I'm not avoiding." Faith gave her a look and then looked at Robin.
"Do you think she's avoiding?" She asked him and he nodded.
"I think she's avoiding." Buffy glared at both of her friends.
"I am not avoiding. It's just not a good time right now." She told them.
"Sure it is, it's not like you're really busy or anything. Come on, B. You only talked to him a few times on the phone since we've been here; you haven't seen him in about four years. It's about time that he knew the truth. He's cool, I'm sure he'll be fine with it. You shouldn't be worried if that's why you don't wanna go." Buffy sighed.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Faith smiled.
"Of course I am. I think we should all go too, we all could use a change of scenery." Buffy nodded and then thought of something.
"What about Emily, she's never flown before?" Buffy asked.
"Em will be fine, Buffy. Don't worry; I'm sure she'll have a blast. Where is she anyway?" Faith asked looking around the apartment.
"She's out with Dawn and the others, they should be back soon." Faith nodded.
"Anyway, I think maybe you should head there tomorrow by yourself. Robin and I have a few things to take care of first and then we'll be good to head there in a few days with the others. You should probably go alone to let Angel know that we're coming to make sure he has space for us." Buffy nodded.
"I'm sure that won't be a problem, he has a lot of room. Not only does he have that huge Wolfram and Hart office, but he also still has the hotel." Faith agreed.
"Yeah, but it might do you some good to spend some alone time." Robin nodded.
"I will agree with that." Buffy sighed and knew she wasn't going to win this one.
"Okay, I'll go in the morning." She said as she headed to her room to pack what she would need. She then stopped and turned back to them. "Before I forget, Giles called earlier. He wanted to know if you would be able to help him out in England with the Slayers?" She asked looking at Faith.
"Sure, should have known he can't handle them all. I'll call him when we get to LA." Buffy nodded and then looked at Robin.
"He asked for you too. They keep getting more and more Slayers and I'm guessing he could use all the teachers he can get at that school. There isn't that many watchers left and Wes has been busy in LA. I'm also thinking that he might kill Andrew and probably needs all the help he can get." Robin smiled and nodded without saying anything and then Buffy went back in her room to pack her things. She kept thinking about going back to LA and wondered what she would say to him and how he would be when he found out the truth. She took a deep breath and continued packing.
