Disclaimer: Sadly I do not own any of these chacthers they all belong to the twisted mind of Joss Whedon.

A/N: I played with the timeline a little bit. The first part follows the show closely but the second part of the story gets away from it. Also this is after Sunnydale fell. The whole gang runs a school for people (not just slayers )who fight evil this school teaches them how to not get killed. Also I brought Oz back and Willow is not gay. Also thoughts are in bold. This is based loosely on the Christmas Carol. Sorry if it's bad it's one of my first. Enjoy!!!!

Main Paring: B/A Buffy POV

Let the story begin.

"This is going to be a long day." I think has I get up out of bed Today is the first day of testing. Oz is supervising my class so that I can get some of my work that keeps piling up done. A few hours later I sit down at my desk and pull out a pack of papers and throw them on the desk knocking off pictures in the process. "Damn!" I yell, "Today is not a good day!!" I lean down to pick it up and all of a sudden I fell this rush of cold air when I straighten up I realized I'm no longer in my room I'm back in Sunnydale, back in the same alley way I was in almost 9 years ago. I thought that I was by myself but then I heard a voice I knew, a voice I loved I look up and see my 16 year old self and Angel talking then I hear "Let's just say I'm a friend." "Why am I here?" I whisper to myself.

"I'll tell you why." I turn around fast when I see who it is I let him know how displeased I am with him. "GOD, Whistler!" I almost scream, "What are you doing here?" "I'm here to show you the errors of your ways." "Errors of my ways?" "Yes come we must hurry before we run out of time, Let's go!" Two minutes later we're at rest felid cemetery I can see that Angel is talking but I don't need to hear him but I know what he is saying, I say it along with him "This isn't some Fairytale: When I kiss you, you don't wake up from a deep sleep and live happily ever after." "And he was right." I added has I watch the two figures walk away from each other "We didn't live happily ever after. Is that what you wanted me to see? Well newsflash I already know all this remember I lived this!!" "No, No dear Buffy the ride has just begun!!"

With that he pulled me into anthoer time, a time when I thought all things were possible and that I could be a normal girl. The scene that we watched was one I knew all to well it was the night my life went to hell, the night of my 17th birthday. I watched has me and Angel lost ourselves in each other. "Why?" I ask I can feel the hot tears running down my face. "It is all part of the journey, come on time to move on to the next event." When I open my eyes I know exactly where I am I'm in the mansion it's the day that I killed my beloved I watch with more tears in my eyes has my past self shoves the sword into him, and saying goodbye to him the whole time. "Have you learned any thing this far?" "That's he's the only guy I ever loved. But deep down I already knew that." " Now let's jump 4 years into the furte to the fall of Spike and Sunnydale." He replied.

"Why did you make me come here?" I ask looking out @ the carven, @ Spike losing his life. "Can we leave?" "No" he replied I wanted to show you how you felt when you watched all of these things." "But why." "so that you can go back and change them. With that I was back in the alley way in the body of my 17 year old self. ANI'T MY LIFE GREAT I think has I watch Angel walk away.
