I do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joss Whedon does. Spoiler alert kind of for Buffy season one episode Teacher's pet. Now let us read and enjoy please.

The New Girl

Sunnydale, California

Buffy, willow and Xander are in Mr. Gregory's class watching a segment about ants and their habitat when Principle Flute comes in with a new student. The teacher turns off the teleprompter to give the floor to the principle.

"Hello class I would like for you to meet your new classmate Jessica Trish Cine," Says a cheerful Principle Flute. "She has moved here to out bright city of Sunnydale from the windy city of Chicago, please give her a warm welcome." Principle Flute quickly leaves the classroom so that the teacher can get back to his teaching.

Buffy looks her up and down to size her up and make sure she is not a new threat, Willow gives her one of her mousy smiles and a wave and Xander is too busy having several fantasies about her already.

"Well hello Miss Cine, have a seat and we'll see if one of our students can get you caught up on the subject we have been discussing," says Mr. Gregory.

Jessica scans the room for an empty seat finding one she awkwardly sits in front of a grinning Willow while Xander is still in daydream mode and Buffy continues to scrutinize her to make sure she's not evil in some way.

Somehow she seems so familiar to Buffy as if she has met her somewhere before but she could not remember from where or when. The feeling is so strong that she cannot put it on the back burner she has to talk to Giles about the almost nauseating déjà vu she is having over the new girl.

As Buffy considers the possibility of some new conflict, Jessica looks around as she has the same feelings of déjà vu but on a much larger scale. Her surroundings are very familiar to her; she already knows where every class is, the library, the cafeteria, the gym and even the damn boiler room. Earlier as Principle Flute led her to class, she already knows where she is going. This morning when Jessica Trish Cine is heading to school, she thought she would be completely lost and late for every class only to find that she knew the school from front to back hell she seems to know the whole damn town. She knows this is a little town but she should not know everything about it. Knowing all this information completely boggles her mind considering she has never been here before in her life.

At that moment, she notices Mr. Gregory talking to Buffy about the bugs the class was discussing. He was trying to get her to participate in class only to find that she has not read the material and a girl she was sure is called Willow tries to mime the answers to her.

Jessica laughs at Buffy's less than stellar grasp at charades. The teacher is mildly irritated over Willow trying to give Buffy the answers and Xander is embarrassed about Buffy implying he has body odor. Overall Jessica has a hilarious time in her first class of the day.

As the bell rings and the students go to their next class Mr. Gregory calls Buffy to the side to discuss her grades. He sufficiently strokes her ego and tells her that if she will just put her mind to it she will be an excellent student, which makes her peg him as one of her favorite teachers for his caring attitude towards her despite her colorful record.

Buffy leaves Mr. Gregory as he checks his bug slides. He sits in his chair and he can feel someone watch him but he shrugs it off and continues his work. Something gets closer and closer to him and then a hand touches his shoulder. He turns around to see his new student Jessica as she smiles down at him.

"Oh Hello Miss Cine, what can I do for you?" he asks as he looks over his glasses at her.

"Sorry to disturb you Mr. Gregory, but I was hoping to get some past assignments from you so I could get caught up and maybe I can get one of my fellow students to help me," she says as she looks around as if someone or something else is in the room. Then her eyes settle on his coat closet and she shivers sensing something evil coming from it.

"Oh that is an excellent idea Miss Cine and if I can make a suggestion, the best person to help you get caught up on your classes would be Miss Willow Rosenberg," says Mr. Gregory. "She is an excellent student and from what I hear a great tutor."

"Yeah, I figured as much from the display I saw today," she says as they both laugh.

Jessica starts to leave with her new assignments in hand when she gets the complete wiggins. She cannot leave her teacher alone in this room for some reason and she has to get him out of here somehow. However, how will she do this without him thinking she is some kind of a nut case? She sees the empty hallways and a plan formulates in her mind.

"Um…. Mr. Gregory, if I can ask one more favor of you?" Jessica sheepishly asks. "All of the students are already in their next class and seeing as I do not know the school that well, I'm wondering if you could show me to my next class?"

Mr. Gregory looks at her and smiles. "No problem Miss Cine, maybe later we could get you a tour guide as well."

She laughs at his obvious ribbing before she stops and gives the room another once over before Mr. Gregory guides her to her next class.

An extremely pissed off giant preying Mantis steps out of the coat closet as they vacate the premises. She transforms into a beautiful young woman, and stalks after an alternate victim, because the annoying little girl has whisked away her current one.

There it is finally the second chapter. It is a little slow but I just wanted to introduce the character to the universe and have her make a difference right of the back. She does not do anything supernatural just some plain old ingenuity. Hope you enjoy it and please review.
