Rating: PG-13 (for now anyways)

Authors Note: Buffy Summers is your typical sixteen year old with a happy family and the attention of her crush. What will happen when Buffy finds out that she may not be the girl she thought she was.

Authors Note: This idea comes from the 'The Face on the Milk Carton' Books by Caroline B. Cooney( a wonderful author, and I would recommend every single one of her books!!). There are times I may use ideas from the book, but most of the time I am going to try to just use the basic idea.

Authors Note 2: This idea is one of the many ideas that have been playing around in my head for a while and I finally have the time to work on it.

Distributions: What it take it, just let me know!!!!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Part 1

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Laughter filled the Giles' home as the family sat around the dining room table enjoying the oriental chicken Mrs. Giles had fixed for her children. Warm, loving, and caring that's how Buffy Giles always described her family when asked. Two loving parents, a protective older sister, another older sister, and a darling little sister. Plus she had the greatest friends in the world, what more could a girl ask for, really?

"So, Mom, when can I go take my driving test?" asked Buffy taking a bite of her mother's famous oriental chicken. It always stunned her how well her mother, Jenny Giles, could cook.

"You on the road," teased twenty year old Faith Giles. "Watch out everyone on the sidewalks," she teased her little sister. "Bits, that a scary though," she added using the nickname she had made up for Buffy long ago.

"Like you drive any better," Buffy shot back throwing a piece of her bread stick at the older dark hair girl. "How many tickets have you gotten so far?" she pointed out knowing that her sister need both hands to count the tickets.

"Buffy, don't throw your food," scolded Jenny Giles," Faith, don't tease your little sister," she warned both girls. She loved all her little girls, but boy they could be a handful at times.

"Yes, Mom," the two sisters replied in unison, looking anything but.

"Buffy, Faith, guess what!" exclaimed Hope Giles bouncing in her seat so her dark curly hair bounced up and down.

"What, Princess?" inquired Buffy smiling at the little ten year old. Hope was the sweetest little girl Buffy knew, and she wasn't just be partail because the tiny brown eye girl was her baby sister, no she babysat a lot of children Hope's age and younger and she had to admit Hope was very well behaved for a ten year old.

"I made a new friend at school today," answered Hope, her hazel eyes's dancing with glee. "Her name is Chrissy and…,"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Buffy yawn as the sunlight hit her eyes the following morning," Another day of school," grumbled the sixteen year old. "Why can't we just have no school on Fridays," she asked herself.

"Hey, Bits, get up if you want a ride to school," Faith told her sister from outside Buffy's white and golden door.

Buffy attended Sunnydale High, while Faith went to school at UC Sunnydale and was studying Dietetics there. Though they were different in age the two sisters where like best friends.

"I'm up," responded Buffy reaching out for her new silky red bath robe. "I want you to know that I am protesting getting up this early though," she complained getting out of bed.

"Your protest is heard," declared Faith from her room beside Buffy's. The walls between the two wasn't all that thick so the girls were able to carry on conversations and not disturbed their sleeping parents or baby sister who had their rooms at the end of the very long corridor. "I have a class at eight today, so that means I have to drop you off at seven-thirty," she explained and laughed when she heard her sister grumble under her breath before walking into their adjoining bathroom.

"I'll hurry," was Buffy's last words for the next twenty minutes it took her to take a shower and get dress.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"I'll be by after school, Bits," promised Faith an hour later as she pulled in front of SunnyDale High. "My last class ends at eleven and then I work until two," she claimed as Buffy got out of her brand new BMW, a gift from their grandparents for her recent birthday.

"I'm sixteen years old," pouted Buffy grabbing her designer back pa k. "I don't know why Mom and Dad just don't get me a car," shutting the door she missed her sister's snicker. Buffy waved to Faith before turning and heading towards the school building.

"Hey, Buffy," called Willow Rosenburg, Buffy's best friend," what's going on?" questioned the red head as the two of them made their way through the heavy crowd of people to where they usually met their friends.

"Nothing really," admitted Buffy smoothing out her navy blue skirt. "Are you staying at Tara's tonight?" Buffy sat down on the soft grass underneath the Willow tree.

"Yeah, Mom, said it was okay. She and Dad have plans for some a lone time tonight," conveyed Willow waving at their friends, who where heading over to where the two Sophomores sat. "Hey, Tara, Xander, and Angel," she piped up. "Where's my boyfriend?" she wondered when she didn't see her guitar playing boyfriend Oz Osborn behind his best friend Angel McClay.

"He had band practice," replied Angel with his trademark half grin. "Hi, Buffy," he greeted the tiny blond goddess of his dreams.

Buffy's day got a lot brighter all of a sudden when Angel smiled at her. Angel McClay was a Junior and Tara's older brother. Buffy had know both him and Tara since she was five, and had harbored a crush on him since then.

"Have you heard that Geometry was cancelled today?" informed Tara putting her freshly washed dirty blond hair into a silver clip.

"Good, no pop quiz," celebrated Xander with his silly Xander Dance. Xander was the funny one of the group of friends, but if you ever needed him to be serious he could switch in a heart beat.

"Watch out," alerted Angel moving away from his friend's swing arms. Angel looked around for a place to sit and had to smile when he saw a spot opened right next to Buffy," Mind if I sit here," he inquired although he knew she didn't.

"Be my guess," Buffy scooted over so Angel had more room to sit.

"What time is the sleep over?" asked Xander curiously as the school bell rang.

"It's girls only," Tara pointed out grabbing her books. "Angel isn't even allowed to come, and he lives in the same house," she added as the group walked into the building. "No boys allowed."

"Come on," complained Xander following Willow and Tara to American History II.

"No," the two girls replied causing the boy to shake his head

"Fine, but I'm telling you, you're missing a fun time by not letting me come," he followed the laughing girls into the class room, where the teacher had already begun the note taking.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Buffy laughed hearing Xander trying to weasel an invite to the sleep over from where she stood with Angel, out side their Life Skills class. It was actually a fun class, and Buffy had been thrilled when Angel had finally agreed to take it with her, claiming in the end it would look good on his college application.

She smiled at Angel as she walked into the class room with him behind her. Buffy and Angel took their seats in the back of the room," So what do you think Mrs. Ferral is showing us today?" asked Buffy as her dazzling green eyes met his chocolate brown ones.

"Who knows," answered Angel," but at least we're watching a movie and that means I can sleep," yawning Angel leaned back in his chair.

"You're hopeless," teased Buffy shaking her head as their teacher walked into the room.

"Good-morning class," greeted the young twenty-nine year old Life Skill teacher. "As many of you know today we are going to be watching an old episode of the Crime show 'Missing. This particular episode deals with kidnappings that are unsolved and have been for a good ten years to just a year. Now I know we have been studying why some people do what they do and what the consequences are. I want you to pick one of these case on the video you are about to see, and write me a page on explaining what the police have and why you think the kidnapper took the child or children," she instructed turning out the lights.

"Let me know what happens," whispered Angel laying his head on Buffy's tiny shoulder.

Buffy was glad that the lights where turned down so Angel couldn't see the red tint of her cheeks. Picking up her pen with her right hand she began to pay attention to the movie, all the while feeling a bit dizzy with happiness at Angel's touch.

'This is sad,' thought Buffy thirty minutes into the video as she watched yet another child being ripped from their loved ones. 'Those poor families, I am so grateful I am with my family. I don't kn…," her wondering thoughts stopped cold when she noticed the next case. 'No,' was her only though as she looked at the little girl being talked about. The tiny little girl smiled back at her with a face so familiar to her, it was scary.

"Elizabeth Anne Summers was last seen at the Plaza Mall in Los Angeles. She had golden blond hair and green eyes," described the host of 'Missing' John Right. "She was two years old at the time of her kidnapping. Wearing a blue jean jumper and yellow T-shirt,' he droned on as Buffy felt her heart clench.

'It can't be,' denied Buffy. 'She looks like…I looked like… how can…?" sitting back in her chair Buffy suddenly felt like the world was closing in on her. "No," she said in a low tone.

"No, what?" pressed Angel opening his eyes. He felt a chill go through him at the expression on Buffy's face. "Buffy, are you okay?" he asked worry setting with in him.

"Fine," declared Buffy although inside no matter how mush she was denying her feelings, they where telling her something was wrong. Upon seeing that picture, upon seeing a little girl with her face, she just couldn't shake the feelings.

Angel wrapped his arms around her and held her for the remaining of the video. He knew something was up, but he would wait until she wanted to tell him.

'Mom, Daddy, are you my real parents?' Buffy asked sadly, feeling her whole world was tumbling down and she didn't know what to do. 'That girl could just be a look a like, right?' she tried to reasoned hugging Angel back, taking comfort in his safe arms.
