Just to clear things up
Buffy died defeating Glory, willow resurrected her but not with dark magic. Tara is still alive. Dawn is still the key. Spike left Sunnydale before Buffy died. He is not in love with Buffy. So, he did not bump nasties with her. He is also not chipped. But some how managed to find his humanity and decided to fight the good fight with Angel. However, Angel and Spike still don't get along. Faith has been out of prison for about a year already. Xander and Anya is still somewhere out there… probably bumping nasties. Wesley and Cordy still has some grudges against Faith. But Gunn and Fred get along with Faith just fine.

"God what did they do to you..." I've never seen her so fragile, she looks so young without her make up and leather. I really wonder how old she is sometimes.
I react out my hand to tuck the strands of hair behind her ear. Just as my fingers were about to touch her cheeks, her whole body started shaking and jerking.
She suddenly sat up and started screaming…
Chapter 4
Sunnydale
"Good morning Buffy! Tara and I are making breakfast, how do you want you eggs?" Willow asked Buffy as she walked down the stairs.
"The usual please." Buffy replied. Making herself comfortable at the table.
"Oh Buffy it's so good to have breakfast together again!" Dawn was bouncing around Buffy. "Here catch!" She yelled as she tossed a cup towards Buffy.
"Shit Dawn! What's your problem" Buffy yelled back as she grabbed the cup out off the air purely on reflex.
"Oh nothing… just testing your reflex. Gotta make sure you didn't come back wrong right? At least now we know you're still THE SLAYER." She said as she busied herself preparing coffee.
Buffy just nodded.
Did I come back right? Yeah so what if I'm still the slayer. I really can't help but to feel that something is missing. There must be something wrong with me if the Powers allowed me to be dragged out of heaven back to this miserable world.
"Buffy! Buffy! Earth to BUFFY" Dawn was yelling at her.
"Are you ok? You've been mindlessly stirring the coffee. Oh oh I know! Are you trying to make those like whirlpool in your coffee? Cus if you want I can show you how to make bigger ones in water bottles! OR if you want we could check up the net and all. Okie… I'm babbling aren't I?
Why didn't anyone stop me?" Willow was blushing by the time she finished.
"Ermmm... I… I was just think…"
"About what?" Dawn and Willow asked curiously.
Buffy's brows knitted together trying to think of a way to answer them. Fortunately, the look was not lost by Tara.
"Honey" Tara said before Dawn or Willow started asking more questions. "I think Buffy's just needs more time to process being back and all. Besides, you look cute when you babble" she added the last part in a whisper and gave Willow a peck on the cheek.
They're so sweet together. Willow's really lucky to have found somebody as sweet and pure as Tara. I wonder what I would be like if I had someone to love me like that.
"Alright enough chitchat! Let's eat before the food turns cold!" Tara said as Willow rushed to help her set the table.
After the huge breakfast of bacon, pancakes and eggs. Buffy was about to go take a shower. As she was about to walk up the stairs. She heard Tara call out.
"Buffy, all your mail since your… your…"
"It's okie to say it Tara."
"Sorry, I'm still not too used to you being all dead and all… anyway, as I was saying, I kept all your mail. It's in the little basket on the kitchen counter.

"Shit! That's a lot of bills" I mumble as I sorted out the mails. "Oh my Gosh!!" I think I nearly fainted! I never knew there could be so many zeros after a negative sign. OH SHIT! OH SHIT!
I'm so screwed!
Where the hell am I going to get the money for all these bills? I can't ask Willow and Tara, I mean they have been great looking after everything while I was… I was… shit I can't even say it to myself! in my head! 5 minutes ago I was telling Tara it was okie to use the D word… what a hypocrite I am…
What to do? What to do?
Think Buffy! What would Willow do?
Think think think!
YES! I got it! Willow will use magic! After all she did use magic to bring back to life. So how bad could it be to settle so bills?
Besides i am the slayer, mankind will be lost without me. Gotta find me some magic books.
