Chapter One

I have to say this lol. I do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the Newsies.

Notes: This is set at the end of season two when Buffy just turned 17 and she did sleep with Angel but she also was with Spike at one point in time and no one but her or Spike know it, she ended up with after Angel turned evil. They turned to each other for comfort and found love instead but he knew he could not be with her because of his nature and he did not want to hurt her by having to kill to live she desreved a normal life. Okay that is all you need to know for the story enjoy the story.

Seventeen year old Buffy Summers looked at the bus and back toward town. Her life was gone here, she had to kill Angel her first real love, then her mother kicked her out, and her Spike left town with that hoe Drusillia. She wanted to hate him for tha but she could not she loved him to much to hate him. She had packed up all her clothes and special items and left a note to her mother and friends explaining things.

She had been to see her friends one last time. She watched them walk into Sunnydale High without her and she knew that she would never have that again. And they can be safe now with her gone and can lead a normal life again. She would miss them everyday they have become her family and she would miss her mother more then ever. She sighed and got on the bus leaving her life behind. She was taking the bus to L.A. and then getting another bus that goes to New York City.

When she got off the bus in L.A. she got a meal as she waited for the next bus to catch. She found a small diner that was a hole in the wall and sat at a back booth and ordered a buger and fries and coke. As she was eating she saw some guys check her out and they looked about her age and cute normaly she would flash them a smile this time she just ignored them. Buffy ate as quick as she could so she would not miss her bus. She paid for her food and laid down the tip and grabbed her duffle bag and jogged back to the bus station.

She was relieved when she saw the bus was still there. She had a few mintues to spare so she bought a few magazines and got on the bus. She put her duffle bag on the rack above her and settled in her seat magazines on her lap. She glanced through the magazines and soon the bus rumbled to life and started to move. Buffy knew she had to stay away or else she would remember the past few days.

But she was fighitng a losing battle and soon gave into sleep. Immediatly Angel poped up in her dream as her Angel and thanked her for what she did. Then he morphed into Angelus and they began fighting like they did that night. And this time she lost and he bite into her neck and he forced Spike to change her into a vamipire. When she woke up Angelus killed Spike in front of her and then raped her. She woke up in a sweat it was her worst nightmare she has had to date. She knew it was not a prophetic dream since Angel was dead and Spike was off hoellia. Buffy glanced around to make sure that no one saw that she woke up. She so did not want to answer any are you okay questions.

It took a few days to reach New York City, and she stepped of the bus happy to be so far from Calinforina and her past and her pain. She sighed and looked around. She barely had any money so she needed a job first. She got a newspaper and glanced through it and she did her job hunting. A few hours later she found a job waitressing and she realized she had no money for a place to sleep. She would do what she had to do to survie.

Buffy Summers was going to be living on the street for a bit. She found a nice warm dry spot and settled down for sleep. That night she dreamed of boys her again selling news papers and one caught her eye. It was like she was drawn to him she felt the sunlight on her face and woke up and shook her head. Something was different though.

When she looked down she gasped and saw she was in a long tan skirt, black high heeld granny boots, and a white shirt that had long sleeves and buttoned up to her neck. Her blond hair was up in a chigon and she had on a hat. She stood up and grabed her bag and wondered what happened.

"Welcome Kid" Whistler said stepping out of the shadows. He kept his distance knowing she would freak when she found out what was going on. "You made it okay that is good."

"Where am I?" Buffy demanded. "Whistler what the hell is going on?" she growled out.

"Well kid you are back in time" he said. "Your back in i would say I believe 1899 yes 1899" he said to her. "Oh and it is March so that is why it is warm."

"What I can't be" she said and paniced. This would only happen to her it seemed like this stuff only happened to Buffy Summers. "Why am I here?"

"Well you are here to follow your destiny. You did your job back in your time Kid" Whistler told her. It was harder for some people to transition to a new time the few times he had seen it in his life. "Your here to follow your true destiny and fine peace."

"You mean I belong here and this is where I will find peace?" Buffy asked slowy.

"Yep you got it girly. You don't have to slay unless you want to you can be a normal girl" Whistler said knowing she would be happy. "Here is some stuff for you" he threw her a big envelop.

Buffy opened the evelope and saw a key and money. "What is this for?"

"The money is for you to live and that key is to your place. We figured you died for us you deserve happines and a break. And you can have it here, you are still Buffy Summers but you moved her from Maryland" he said. "Oh and your parents passed away so you are on your own. That is all you need to know. Now your apartment is a few blocks over thrid floor second door on the right" he said. "I will check in on you" he said and dissappered.

Buffy watched him dissapper with so many more questions. A part of her was mad to be here but a part of her was so happy to be here to get away from her job of dying at young age. She would see how she liked it and if she liked when Whistler came back she would stay if not she would ask to go back. She left the ally carrying her stuff which was her bag plus a suitcase. She found her place easy enough and got settled in. After unpacking and getting use to the now shower thing, she figured out how to live and knew she could do it. She even saw some stuff rom home and smiled a few things to remind of who she is even her weapons for emergencys.

Buffy left her place and went in serach off food. She had a few dollars in her pocket of her skirt and headed down the street. She smiled and said hi to everyone that did it to her first. She came across a place and went in. It was full of boys some her age, some older, some younger. She blushed as they looked at her and found a place to sit and ordered some food. She looked up when she saw shadow of her. It was a tall guy with brown hair and kind eyes he had red bandana around his neck.

"Jack Kelly or yous can call me Cowboy likes everyone else, and you are miss?" Jack asked and took off his black hat. He and the rest of the boys were wondering who this blond angel was.

"Buffy Summers nice to meet you Jack Kelly " she smiled at him as she sipped on a coke. He could tell that she was well breed the way she talked she was not from New York.

"So's you just moved her I bet. I knows all the goils in this here place and you are new Buffy Summers" he said and sat down across from her and proped his feet on the seat next to her.

"Yes I moved here a few blocks away, my parents recently passed away" Buffy explained. She was glad she remembered what Whistler told her.

"Well welcome to New York. Hows about you meet my friends" Jack waved them over. "That there is Racetrack better known as Race, Crutchy, Mush, Bulments, Boots, Mush, Kid Blink, and Dutchy" he said naming the guys at the table. "These are are the Manhattan Newsies the best after Brooklynn of course" he siad proudly. "Boys this her is Buffy Summers she just moved here."

Buffy said hi to each one and soon they were all talking like they were old friends. They accept Buffy like she was family and she was grateful for that they also told her to avoid. "Excuse me a moment" she said and stood up. She bumped into someone and gasped thinking it was the guy in her dreams. "Sorry I didn't see you" she said.

"Its okay Ise don't mind being ran into by a beautiful goil" the boy said. He had the kind of voice that sent shivers down her spine. "Jackie boy didn't knowes youes added a goil to the mix" he said looking at Jack Kelly.

"Wese didn't she is new here today wese were welcoming her. Buffy Summers that there is Spot Conlon king of Brooklynn leader of the Brooklynn Newsies."

"Nice ta meet ya Buffy Summers" Spot said and smiled. She felt a tingle go up her spine and she blushed. Spot thought she looked even better blushing espically since it was him that did it. He got a secret thrill from the fact that she seemed to blush only because of him not the others that meant that she didn't find them as more then friends.

Suddenly Buffy felt her being jerked into some apes arms. She glared up at the guy that looked a few years older then her and he had what looked like his brother with him. "Well Jackie Boy I sees you got a pertty goil here howes about wese get to know her before you." Before she could struggled a fist came out of nowhere and she was jerked into arms of one Spot Conlon and was staring in his eyes almost in a trance.
