BUFFY SUMMERS' DIARY
AUTHORS NOTES: This fic is set after the events of the end of season seven for Buffy and contains some possible spoilers for season five of Angel based on something that I've heard.
I don't own any of the characters blah, blah, blah, so please don't sue me!
Also I'd love to hear what you think about this fic so please review, it helps me write and gives me inspiration. So if you have time a review would be nice. Now on with the story.......
CHAPTER ONE
"Giles I'm not sure about this, I mean my track record in the property game isn't exactly amazing. Last time I couldn't keep up with the repayments hell I couldn't even keep the house standing." Buffy whined as she threw herself on to bed in the motel the gang had been staying at.
Giles looked across the room to Dawn who just rolled her eyes.
"Buffy we have been here in Cleveland for six months now, the rest of us have acquired permanent lodgings you should be doing the same. If not for your own sake then for Dawn." Giles stated.
Giles had spoken to Dawn numerous times now and he knew that the young girl was getting pretty tired of living in the motel. However since Sunnydale had finally been put to rest Buffy did not seem in the slight bit interested in starting her normal life.
Buffy stood up from the bed placed her hands on her hips and faced Giles, " You're not going to leave me alone until I do this are you?"
Giles smiled to himself, it was a child like self-satisfied he had for once managed to convince to do something that was for her own good. And with that Buffy phoned the bank to find out about setting up a mortgage.

"Buffy this is such a great plan, I mean it's like having my own place, how cool is that I'm only 17! I can invite friends round and not have to worry about you spazzing out!" Dawn said with all the enthusiasm of a hyperactive child that had just been filled up on e numbers.
"Whoa calm down there Summers jrn. It's still the same house." Xander said as he fitted the new kitchen in the all-new and improved Summers home.
Buffy had managed to get a mortgage based on income from her new job as a fitness instructor. The house was a fairly good size, which was good because it would give both her and Dawn some space from each other. So as instructed Xander was fitting a kitchen and Bathroom on both floors of the house giving both girls the feeling that they were living alone.
"Hey Buff." Dawn said as her sister came into the house.
"Hey you, how's it going?" Buffy asked.
"Well my work here is nearly done, sorry it's taken so long but you know with that pesky little problem of only having one eye things do take longer." Xander joked, he felt ok about the whole situation now.
Buffy just gave him a weak smile in return, she was sure that she would never stop feeling guilty about that. It was hard and sometimes she even forgot especially now that he'd had a synthetic eye fitted it almost looked real.
"Well I can understand how that could be a problem." She said as she put her arms round his shoulders and hugged him from behind. Life had been hard on Xander this past year, all since he left Anya at the alter. It had been left to him to bring Willow back from the dark side, he'd lost an eye and then Anya died which was something that he rarely spoke about but Buffy knew it ate him up inside.
Xander stood, "There you go all done, you two can now go about and live totally separate lives!"
"No it's not about that it's about giving each other space so that we can live together." Buffy said in a matter of fact manner smiling at her sister.
"And besides I can't take any more of seeing Buffy with out her make up on, she's getting old now those signs of age are really creeping in!" Dawn joked.
"When you've died twice see how good you look in the morning."
That was how they were all jokes and smiles they tried not to think about Sunnydale, that place was dead and buried quite literally. It held to many bad memories for all of them and now was their chance to be normal.

I know it was a little slow but this is only the first chapter and I needed to set the scene and explain a few things. Let me know what you think and if you like it I'll post the next chapter later today.
