SUMMER LOVE

By Spuffy

Chapter 1

***************************

Buffy Summers took one last look around her room. She had everything that she needed. She glanced at her alarm clock. It was 11am; she still had an hour before they needed to leave for the airport. This would be the fourth year in a row that Buffy would be a counselor at her uncle Giles's Summer Camp in Quebec. Buffy's cousin Faith was also a counselor along with Willow, Xander, Oz, Cordellia, and Angel. Parker used to be a counselor, but he wasn't coming back this year. The camp was from July 1st to August 20th. Each counselor had 4 teens in his or her cabin. It was a really long camp, but everyone always loved it. Some teens came back every year and some others were new.

"Buffy" Buffy's mom called up the stairs.

"Ya, mom?" Buffy called back as she ran down the stairs to find her mom.

"I just got off the phone with Giles he said that Faith will pick you up at the airport when you arrive" Joyce said.

"Okay, thanks mom" Buffy replied.

"We should probably leave for the airport soon. It doesn't hurt to be early," Joyce said.

"Sure, just let me go and get my suitcase from my room" Buffy replied.

**************************************

"BYE BUFFY" Joyce called as Buffy walked out of site and onto the plane.

'Great another boring summer with out her' Joyce thought to herself. Buffy was her only daughter and Joyce got lonely during the summer when Buffy was at camp.

Buffy put her carry-on under her seat and buckled up her seat belt. She was so excited. She couldn't wait to be back at the camp. It was her favorite part of the year.

The headphones were soon handed out and Buffy listened to music until the movie came on. The movie was Miss Congeniality. And before she knew it she was being asked:

"Miss, would you like chicken or beef?" one of the flight attendants asked as she was handing out dinner.

"Um, I'll have chicken, please" Buffy replied.

Buffy thought that the chicken was pretty good or as good as plane food could get. And then it wasn't long after that that the plane was landing and Buffy got off the plane.

"BUFFY" Faith called as Buffy got off the plane.

"FAITH" Buffy called back. Buffy dropped her bags to give Faith a hug.

"I really missed you B" Faith said.

"Ya, I missed you, too" Buffy replied.

"Here let me help you with your bags so we can get the hell out of here" Faith said.

"Sounds good to me. The plane smell isn't really for me" Buffy replied and both girls laughed on their way outside to Faith's car.

"So tell me B, is there a guy in your life now?" Faith asked as they speed down the highway.

"No" Buffy replied.

"Come on. I mean when's the last time you had a boyfriend?" Faith asked.

"I don't remember" Buffy replied.

"See it's been that long. You don't even remember" Faith replied.

"Well it's not that I can't get a boyfriend. It's that I haven't met the right guy yet," Buffy said.

"B you're talking like a virgin" Faith replied.

"I am a virgin" Buffy replied.

"Oh my god you mean to tell me that you still haven't done 'it'?" Faith asked.

"No I haven't" Buffy replied.

"You don't know what you're missing" Faith said.

"I'm sure I don't" Buffy said with a laugh.

The rest of the ride was filled with meaningless conversations, jokes and stories.

"Here we are" Faith said as they pulled into the camp parking lot.

"God it's great to be back" Buffy said as she climbed out of the car.

"My dad is gone for the night, but he'll be back in the morning before the other counselors arrive" Faith said.

Buffy didn't reply. It was dark now and at the camp it was tradition to go skinny-dipping. Buffy just took off running down towards the lake. Taking off her clothes as she went and by the time she got to the end of the dock she was naked and she dove right in.

Buffy was soon followed by Faith. They spent a while splashing around in the water, until they had had enough and they climbed out. Rapping themselves in a towel from the boathouse they picked up their clothes and went to get Buffy's bag from the car. So that Buffy could unpack.

"God, B how much stuff did you bring" Faith said as she brought the last of Buffy's bags into the cabin.

"What can I say? I love clothes," Buffy said.

"And make up" Faith added.

"And shoes" Buffy added.

"And magazines" Faith added.

"And guys" Buffy added.

Buffy and Faith both broke out in a fit of giggles.

"I really love this place," Buffy said as she looked around to cabin.

"I know, me too" Faith replied.

"So what time are the others arriving tomorrow?" Buffy asked.

"I'm not quite sure, but I think around 12 or 1" Faith replied.

"Okay" Buffy replied.

Buffy and Faith stayed up like all night talking about everything and anything.

"Umph" was the noise that came out of Faith when Buffy jumped on Faith's bed the next morning.

"Mornin' "Buffy said cheerfully.

"Unm"Faith moaned.

"I going to take a shower" Buffy said.

"What time is it?" Faith asked quietly.

"7:30" Buffy replied.

"Oh god" Faith replied as she rolled over to go back to sleep.

Buffy hummed as she skipped down the path to the showers.

Buffy could see across the small lake to the guy's cabins. Every year it was a huge game to see who could play the biggest prank on the others cabins, without Giles finding out. Buffy had some great ideas of what they could do this year.

Buffy had finally reached the showers and she went into one of the stalls. She let the warm water run down her body. She washed her hair and body, then climbed out.

It was 9am when Buffy got back up to the cabins. Faith wasn't there so Buffy wandered down to the cafeteria and found Faith having breakfast.

"So what's on the menu this morning?" Buffy asked.

"Well since the cook doesn't get here until the day that the campers come, we're having cheerios" Faith replied.

"Okley Dokley" Buffy replied as she took a seat beside Faith and poured herself a bowl.

Breakfast passed by without conversation and before they knew it Giles was there and then the other counselors were arriving.

"I suppose you all know where to put your things" Giles said Willow, Oz, Xander, Cordy and Angel all filed off the airport transport bus that had picked them all up at the airport.

"WILLOW"

"BUFFY"

Buffy and Willow ran to each other for a hug. It soon became a group hug as everyone joined in. This was the only time of the year that Oz ever smiled, usually he was emotionless.

"God, it's so great to see you all again" Buffy said.

"I know, it's been way too long," Cordy said.

"Hi Giles" Willow said when she saw him standing off to the side.

"G man" Xander called.

"Xander how many time do I have to tell you not to call me that" Giles replied.

"I don't think he'll ever stop" Angel said.

The guys shook Giles's hand, while the girls gave him a hug.

"I want you all to be in the cafeteria by 8:00 tomorrow morning" Giles announced.

Everyone took their bags to their cabins and got settled in. They were all up until wee hours of the morning. They all had so much catching up to do.
