Author's Notes: I just recently started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or at least the new shows. I've been watching the old shows on FX, So I don't know exactly what season this would fall under. Anyway, Xander and Cordillia are together, Willow's not a witch yet, And Buffy and Angel are 'going out' but have not slept together. Sorry if it's a little off, I tried. The characters thoughts are in *'s. Enjoy the Story!



*Where am I?

Definitely not in the magic box anymore. This looks like where the old high school should be. Maybe I went into the future, and theirs a new high school here. About time!*

The young girl walked up to the building structure that had a Sunnydale High School sign in front lawn.

It was a average, normal day for Buffy Summers. Well as average as a day could get when you live on a hell mouth.

"hey Buffy!" The cheerful Willow greeted as she walked up along side her best friend. Buffy smiled back.

"Hey Wills. How are things goin'?" Buffy asked as they stopped at Willow's locker for her to grab some books for their next class.

"Oh, ok, I guess." The red head answered. Buffy gave her friend a concerned look.

"What's wrong?" The Slayer asked. Willow gently closed her locker and sighed. Just then the bell rang. Her and Buffy began to walk to their class.

"Well, its probably nothing, but this morning I was in the library with Giles and I felt something." Willow explained. Buffy was very confused with Willow's answer.

"What to do me you felt something? What was it?" Buffy questioned. Willow sighed again.

"I felt something magic-y. It was like a sudden burst of energy then………then it was gone. Giles said it could have just been someone trying a love spell or something else small like that." Willow looked over at Buffy. Buffy smiled.

"Giles is most likely right Willow. It was probably no biggy." Just then Buffy bumped into another girl passing by in the hall.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Buffy apologized. The two blondes turned to look at each other. Buffy couldn't help but notice the other girls sparkling blue eyes. They where amazing, like something she'd never seen before, but yet they where…..familiar. The girl was slightly taller then Buffy, but it was hardly noticeable. Buffy was sure she had ever seen this girl before but she couldn't shake the thought that she had seen those eyes somewhere before. *I'm going nuts!* Buffy thought.

"It's alright." With that the girl was gone. She turned around and headed towards the Library. Buffy started to walk with Willow again.

"She must be new. I haven't seen her around here before." Willow said. Buffy turned around for a minute to see the girl walking away.

"Yeah………." Buffy agreed, still puzzled over the blonde.



*Oh this is just great!!! I've gone back in the past!! This is the last time I use one of Aunt Willow's spell books. What am I going to do?! I know! Giles! He'll know what to do! He always knows what to do! But what am I going to tell him? Where am I going to find him?! Man! For once can't things just go my way?! Wait, didn't mom said Giles used to work in the library in the old High School? That's right! Maybe he's here.* Thought the Blonde girl as she pushed open the doors of the barely used library.

"Hello. Can I help you?" Giles said as he walked by the girl reading a book.

"I hope so," Giles continued to read the book as he walked up the stairs to put it in its rightful place among the others. The girl continued to stand there, near the entrance.

"I'm sorta not from around here, well I am, but not HERE, here. Know what I mean?" Giles peered out from around one of the many book cases. The girl had caught his attention with her confusion.

"Are you new to Sunnydale?" Giles asked, putting another book away. The girl walked forward a little.

"Sunnyhell? Oh no, I've lived here all my life! I'm just new to THIS Sunnyhell. Man, does this sound as confusing to you as it does to me?" She laughed. Giles descended the stairs slowly.

"I'm not sure I know what you mean. Do you go-" The Liberian's sentence was interrupted by the doors fling open and a familiar figure walking in.

"Yo G-man! Think you could write me a pass, I kinda slept in a lit-Well hello there….." Xander said once he noticed the girl standing in front of Giles. She was certainly attractive. She wore a low V-neck red shirt, with dark denim jeans, black boots, and to top it off, an ankle long black leather jacket. She had long blonde hair that went a little past her breasts, and the most wonderful blue eyes. *It's times like these I wish I wasn't going out with Cordillia.* Xander thought as he walked up to the girl and Giles.

"Who are you?" Xander asked. The continued to stare at him.

"My name is Jackie." The blue-eyed girl answered. Xander extended his hand for her to shake.

"I'm Xander. And I think you'll find that I'm the coolest guy in all of Sunnydale." Xander explained. He tried to look as if he was the biggest thing since sliced bread, but Jackie only raised an eyebrow, and chuckled. She then shook his hand.

"Nice to meet you Uncle-I mean Xander." Jackie mentally cursed herself for her mistake.

"If you don't have anywhere to go, you could come with me to my class. The teacher doesn't really care who comes in, as long as their quiet." Xander offered. Jackie looked as if she was in deep thought. *I really need to get home before I mess something up in this demention! I really shouldn't have told him my name, or accidentally call him what I call him at home. Ugh! Bite me and suck me dry why don't ya! But what harm could one class do?*

"Ok, I guess…."

"Great! G-man, could you make that a twofer?" Xander smiled goofy as Giles handed him a pass. Giles then turned to the new girl.

"I would like to continue this chat later, if you don't mind. Perhaps after school?" Giles offered. Jackie nodded her head.

"Oh yes! Most definitely! I really need to talk to you." She answered. Xander then grabbed her arm and began to pull her towards the door. Just then, Jackie was pulled into one of the book carts by Xander. Her foot really hurt.

"Bloody Hell!" She exclaimed. Earning a weird look from the Liberian.

"Oh, sorry. Well we better go, see ya G-man!" Xander yelled as they exited the room.

"I told you not to call me that!!" Giles exclaimed. *I think I've seen that girl before. She reminds me so much of-No, Rupert, old man, I think your going crazy!*

"So where are you from?" Xander asked as he and Jackie strolled to his classroom.

"I was born and raised a Sunnyhell citizen." She answered, looking at all the posters, awards, and other things on the walls as she walked by. *everything is sooooooooo 90's! Oh, wait, that's right, it is the 90's!*

"Really, I never seen you around before. Maybe Sunnydale's a lot bigger then I thought." Xander held the door of the classroom for Jackie and they both walked in together.



~~~~~~~~Some time later~~~~~~~~~

Jackie walked up to what she thought was the magic box's back door, everything was a lot different from her time. *I really hope its this door.* She thought. The blonde girl had gotten a lot of looks walking down the streets of the town. Most people thought the girl should be in school right now. But Jackie just couldn't take another boring class on 'The History of Cheese', Xander sure had chosen some odd courses.

She slowly opened the door to revel a storage room of some kind. There where many boxes and jars of all sorts of things. The room was very dark and smelled really bad, like age old garlic. *This is sub post to be the training room.* Jackie thought as she continued to walk though the room in search of Willow's future spell book. Then she heard the door to the shop open and a small plump man came in. He looked at the girl in shock and wonder.

"What are you doing in here? Don't you know its not nice to sneak up on people especially in this town? Where are your parents young lady?" The bald man questioned. Jackie put the jar she saw holding down where she had picked it up and looked at the old man.

"What's actually why I'm here sir. I need to find my parents. I have to have a book. It's a spell book, on traveling threw time. I believe you may have it." Jackie answered. The man wrinkled his nose and looked like he was thinking. Hard.

"Well, I have may spell books on that. You know what spell it is?"

"No." Jackie hung her head. *Why couldn't I have written the name down or something?* She thought. The man sighed.

"Well, you find out the name of the spell, and I'll give you the book. Now shouldn't you be in school?"



~~~~End of School~~~~

Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Cordillia walked quickly down the hallways of Sunnydale High.

"Giles is going to be mad at me for being late for training, AGAIN!" Buffy said to her friends as they came up to the library.

"Well its not like he as anything better to do." Cordillia stated. They opened the doors to find Jackie sitting on the table while Giles stood talking to her. He then turned to face his Slayer, and her friends.

"Hello Buffy. Please have a seat everyone. I decided to cancel your training today Buffy." Giles greeted. The Scooby gang each took their seats, as did Jackie and Giles.

"Hey! Aren't you that girl from this morning in the hall?" Willow questioned, leaning in across the table to the girl.

"Yes. My name is Jackie." The blonde girl explained. Buffy was really confused.

"Why are you here?" The slayer asked. Buffy realized that the girl would not make eye contact with her, she acted as if it was a sin to look at Buffy.

"I believe Jackie has something to tell us." Giles said, hinting at the mysterious woman. Jackie gave a long sigh.

"I don't really know where to begin…" She stated, then chuckled lightly.

"Why don't you tell us exactly who you are." Willow suggested.

"Ok. My full name is Jacquelyn Joyce Jones an-" Jackie was cut off by Xander's laughing.

"Sorry, sorry… it's just 'J.J.J'. Oh come on! You have to admit it was funny!" Xander stated to the group of serious faces.

"Oh slut up Xander!" Cordillia snapped.

"Like I was saying, I've lived the entire 17 years of my life in Sunnyh- dale. Just not THIS Sunnydale. You see I'm from the future." The girl paused to see everyone's reaction to her statement. Giles nodded in understanding, some how he must has guessed she was from a different time from the beginning. Cordell's mouth was slightly open in shock. Xander had a complete blank look on his face, as did Willow. But Buffy, well she looked in deep thought, but when Jackie looked her way she lifted her head up and stared into her eyes in search of something. *I wonder if she's figured it out.* Jackie thought.

"I don't know exactly how many years, I'm really not good at math, but everything is different where I come from."

"How did you get here?" Cordillia asked.

"I had one of Aunt Willow's spell books, and was looking through it for fun, when I came across a spell to travel time. I thought it would be neat to see the future, so I tried it. Although as you can see, It didn't work out so well." Jackie had to laugh at her attempt at witchcraft. She could never understand it, just like her father.

"Aunt Willow?" Willow repeated what Jackie had called her in a shocked voice.

"opps." Jackie gave a fake smile at her mistake of reviling what she calls the Willow of her time.

"Who are your parents exactly?" Xander questioned, looking at Jackie in deep confusion. Jackie stared at the table with her head low.

"I can't tell you, it might change things." She said. All of the sudden Giles stood.

" What if one of us made a guess? Would you tell us then?" He asked glaring Jackie in the eyes. She returned his stare with ten times the power. *That stare. It's so familiar too. Why does it seem like I should know this girl?* Buffy thought.

"I really don't think that's a good idea." Jackie explained in a colder, more serious voice that almost gave Buffy chills with its similar feeling. Giles ignored the small girls protests and began questioning her.

"You're a very smart girl. You know all of us. You called Willow 'Aunt Willow' and earlier you called Xander 'Uncle Xander'. And you haven't mentioned Cordillia at all. You have blonde hair. And your in well shape, like you must have worked out a lot. Your Attitude. Well I just think it's obvious who one of your parents are." He explained. Jackie have a heavy sigh. *Nothing gets by old Giles.*

"Yeah. You pretty much hit it on the dot that its-" Jackie was interrupted by Giles.

"Buffy." At Giles's statement Jackie completely fell back in her chair.

"WHAT?!?!?!" Everyone yelled at Giles.

"Am I wrong?" Giles asked Jackie, who was picking up the chair.

"Bloody hell. Well," She started, now sitting back down in her chair. Then she looked over at Buffy, who was waiting desperately for her answer. She then turned towards Giles. "yes, you're right, but I thought you where describing my father's feathers." Jackie answered.

"Oh my God…" Buffy put her hands over her mouth, as she eyes began to water. Willow patted her friends back, still in shock herself. Buffy then started to cry tears of confusion, shock, and disbelief on her best friends shoulder.

"Well at least we know Buffy lives to be over 20." Cordillia stated the fact. Xander nudged her.

"Why do you call us you Aunt and Uncle then?" Xander asked.

"Well because you where always so close to me and my parents agreed to have me call you and some others that also." Jackie explained. Giles was in more confusion after Jackie had mentioned that she thought he was describing her father.

"Jacquelyn-" Giles started but was cut short by Jackie.

"Please call me Jackie. Everyone does except,…" She trailed off looking at her future mother in tears, still crying on her Aunt Willow's shoulder, "my mom and dad."

"Yes, well. I'm afraid I'm at a lost on who your father might be-" Giles was again cut off, but this time by the child's mother.

"I know who it is." Buffy said taking her head off of Willow. She sat there staring at her future daughter, and to Buffy's amazement Jackie stared back for once looking her in the eyes.

"The Attitude. The long coat. The 'bloody hell'. The 'Sunnyhell'. Your dislike of magic. Your blue eyes." Buffy observed. *so she wasn't so dumb in high school after all….* Jackie thought, giving Buffy a huge smile.

"Who is it Buffy?" Giles questioned. Buffy didn't take her eyes off of Jackie. And she smiled too.

"Spike."
