Murphy's Law
If anything can go wrong, it will.

January 1st
That is what the first page of Buffy's Murphy's Law 2009 Calendar greeted her with as she sat at her desk.
She had spent a quiet night last night with some of the orphaned younger slayers watching anime (that the girls had become addicted to), playing games and just keeping each other company. It had been a nice night for which Buffy was extremely thankful for and as the Den Mother for younger girls she was happy to spend a peaceful and enjoyable night with them, knowing that they were safe. She had been surprised that the girls had wanted to spend time with her on New Years instead of going to any number of parties that she knew that they had been invited to. When she had asked why Rose who is a slayer from England had stated flat out that she was family and that they had wanted to spend New Years with her DUH! Buffy had felt touched by that response. Especially since the only contact she had with the Scoobies of her sister these days were status reports on slayers and about problems with demons.
Sure it hurt her like anything that they were no longer as close as they once were. And it still hurt to remember the last few weeks before the closure of the Sunnydale Hellmouth. But Buffy found that the more time away from them she spent and the less contact she had with them while she worked with and cared of the girls in her care she found that she hurt less as time went on.
Rose, Lorelai, Paige, Lina, Rosette, Phoebe and Suki were all very unique girls and Buffy cared for them deeply. Rose from England, who is into Gymnastics and loves that she has the same name as Rose from Dr Who is a very friendly and out-going girl who decided that she would be a paranormal Detective when she is old enough. Lorelai from the USA who was permanently addicted to coffee and loved creating her own style of clothes and making clothes for everyone who decided to be the owner of a unique eccentric fashion boutique, her words. Paige of the wild child variety who loves to dance and sing and is determined to Rock the world. Lina, of the wild child ball busting variety, and whom wants to fly, and become a Pilot in the Air Force. Rosette who is an older sister was like a lioness when protecting her younger brother whom she refused to leave behind, and also wishes to join the Air Force. Phoebe, who is of the psychic and peaceful loving type, wishes to become a teacher when she grows up, at a pre-school. And last but definitely not least Suki who loves cars and wishes to be professional racer later on in life.
They are all very unique girls that Buffy had learned to love. They were also the ones who gave her the desk calendar she was currently looking at. After having heard all about her life as a Slayer they had decided that her life must have been cursed by Murphy's Laws and since she had never had the original slayer rule book she could use the Laws as guides for a new one. She smiled at the Christmas gift. Sure enough – "If anything can go wrong, it will" – was one of the things that she had urged the girls to be wary off. That and - "Don't Die!" -.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Author Note: I did spend New Years Eve watching Anime until 5 in the morning with friends, the price of having friends addicted to Anime, and it was fun nevertheless.
