oooooooooooo Here's the new chapter. Hope you like it. Let me know.
"Will, I swear these girls are driving me nuts," Buffy complained to her friend.
"Buffy, Buffy," Willow laughed.
"I don't know how Giles isn't going mental," Buffy said. "Well actually, it's probably because
he isn't spending almost every waking minute with them," Buffy muttered.
"It's smile time Buffy," Willow grinned. "Faith is gonna take over for awhile. You'll be free as
of tonight. She'll be here soon. You've only got a few hours left," Willow teasingly consoled
her friend.
"I know I must sound like a whiny bitch but this group of Slayers just doesn't seem to
understand anything, and they're kind of wimpy."
"Alright blondie, I think I've got something that might make you shut up about the less than
stellar new crop of slayers," Willow said, passing Buffy something from the pile of mail on
the table.
Buffy's frown vanished, and was replaced with a grin. "He actually kept his promise. It's
been three damn months, but Angel actually kept his promise," Buffy said, passing the
postcard back to Willow.
"He's in Ireland," Willow said.
"I'll bet he's in Galway," Buffy said, taking the postcard back.
"So Buffy, what are you gonna do now that Faith will be coming to take over for you for
awhile?" Willow asked.
"I think I'm going to sleep for a couple days. I'm beat," Buffy said.
"So, you're gonna come right back here, just take a nice long nap?" Willow asked with a
grin.
"Yes, that's right," Buffy said with a smile, knowing what her friend was getting at.
"Uh huh," Willow said, sarcastically.
"Look at the time. I'd better go. My Super Slayers are due for some more training," Buffy
said, picking up her jacket.
"Hug," Willow reminded.
Buffy walked over and squeezed Willow in a tight hug.
"Love you, witchy one," Buffy told her.
"Love you too, bitchy one," Willow answered.
Buffy stuck out her tongue and left the apartment.
Buffy walked the ten minutes to "The Fortress" in the dark with a spring in her step.
"Three and a half hours and I'm free," Buffy said cheerily, finally walking through the
fortress doors.
Little did Buffy know, someone was lurking in the dark, eagerly awaiting the Slayer's
next move.

"You don't even know how happy I am to see you, Faith," Buffy said happily, as the
brunette approached.
"Damn B, that's got to be the nicest greeting I've ever received from you," Faith grinned.
"These girls are yours for the next two weeks. Have fun! You can stay here if you want, or
you're welcome to stay at the apartment," Buffy said, throwing her a key. "Will's probably
not going to be there for a week."
"What about you?" Faith asked.
"I'm still not sure. I'm gonna go back to the apartment and get some sleep. Tomorrow, who
knows, I might just take myself a trip."
"Cool," Faith responded. "I might squat at the apartment tonight."
"Let yourself in with the key. If you're hungry, the fridge is fully stocked. I don't know if I'll
see you or not tomorrow. If I don't, you'll see me in a couple weeks."
"These girls must suck if you're this happy to be off for only a couple weeks," Faith laughed.
"Thank God that there's no Apocalypse in the foreseeable future. I feel mean for saying it,
but yeah, overall they do kinda suck. I hope they'll get better with time, for their own
sakes. Maybe you'll be able to do better with them than I did. Have fun."
"I'm sure I will," Faith said sarcastically. "Bye B."
"See ya, Faith," Buffy said, hurrying out the door.
"Sleep, sleep, here I come," Buffy said, stifling a yawn, heading back home.
Buffy heard a noise coming from behind the bush. She stopped, and so did the noise. She
kept walking, and the noise resumed.
She stopped, whipped out her stake, and grabbed inside the bush, pulling out a teenage
boy.
"Why the hell are you following me?" she questioned angrily.
"You're pretty," he said.
"So you're not evil, you're just a junior stalker/pervert. Still, you've got to have a better
reason than that," Buffy said impatiently.
"Sorry, I didn't mean I was following you because you're pretty... I actually need a favour."
"Okay, who are you and why would I do you a favour?"
"I was a friend of Dawn's from school," the boy said.
Buffy softened. "What do you need?"
"I'm really sorry about your sister," he said.
"Thank you," Buffy responded. "Now, what can I do for you?"
"I did something pretty stupid. I was here with a group of friends, and they kind of pissed
me off, so I walked off and got myself lost. I remembered Dawn saying that you guys lived
around this area. I wanted to make sure it was actually you before I said anything, so that's
why I was following... To get to the point I need a place to stay tonight, I was hoping you
could help me out. My friends will come get me in the morning. Could I crash at your place,
just till morning?" the boy asked.
Buffy was a bit iffy, but he was Dawn's friend, and the kid needed a place to stay.
"You can stay for tonight, as long as they come to get you tomorrow. What's your name,
kid?"
"Dan."
"Alright Dan, follow me," Buffy said, leading him to her apartment.

"He's in," said a male voice, to a large group of individuals.
"We'll have the Slayer soon, and then off to Ireland we'll head. We'll kill two birds with one
stone."
