On the front pockets it says USA Olympic Gymnastic Team and has the American flag at the bottom of the front pocket. Catalina is walking up to the sage-green front door of a Victorian red brick row house. The front door of the Victorian row house is off Mercer Street. The back door of the house is off State Street and the Victorian row houses are across from Sunnydale high school. A row house is on each side of Catalina's house and the front doors of the row houses are across the street from an old warehouse. The old warehouse is now a gymnastics training center that has a large sign on the center of the roof that say Sunnydale Gymnastics Club.
Catalina takes her keys out of the front pocket of her blue gym bag and then open the front door of the row house. She heads inside the house and stop inside the entry hall of the house. She turns so facing the door. Then Catalina looks around the street because she has the feeling that she is being watch. Despite not seen anyone she knows that the vampire with a soul that calls himself Angel is watching her, because he has been watching her all summer. Catalina close the front door of the house and then she locks the door. Then Catalina turns so her back is to the front door of the house. Then Catalina walks over to the wooden staircase that is up against the left-hand wall and is across from the front door. Catalina set her duffel bag and gym bag down on the floor in front of the staircase. She walks over to the first doorway on the right-hand side if your back is to the front door. Catalina looks through the doorway into the Parlour (living room), which pocket doors are slides into the walls. She then looks at the fireplace that is on the center of the wall across from the doorway. Then she starts to stare at the very old wooden mantle that is walnut. The wooden mantle matching the hard wood floors that are in almost every room of the house. However, the hardwood floor is not in the bathroom, which is upstairs and the only bathroom in the house has marble floor. Above the fireplace mantle is a painting of Kalderash girl that Angel killed when he went by the name Angelus. The girl in the picture has brown hair and brown eyes. In addition the girl also looks a lot like Catalina. Catalina looks at the back of the French antique sofa that is hand carved and made out of solid walnut and the sofa is from 1890. The sofa upholstery is black with prints of pink roses and white ribbons between the roses. In the center of the wood that is above top of the sofa and under the seats of the sofa are three carved roses. The sofa is facing the fireplace and beside each arm of the sofa is an armchair from the same time period as the sofa. The armchairs are facing each other.

She walks toward the back of the house and looks into the dinning room. The dinning room is the second door on the right-hand side if your back is to the front door. In the dinning room is a walnut table and chairs, which are in the center of the room.
Catalina then walks to the end of the hallway and goes up to the doorway of the kitchen and looks at the white refrigerator. The white refrigerator is up against the wall to the right of the kitchen doorway and before the doorway to the dinning room, if standing in the kitchen door from the hallway. Catalina is happy that her grandfather Reducan empty out the refrigerator and freezer before they left for the summer Olympic games. She looks at the walnut upper cabinets and the walnut lower cabinets that have black granite counter tops and start after the dinning room double door. The cabinets wrap around the corner of the side wall and at the corner of the back wall of the house. Then the counter top goes for a foot more and then a Gold Medal Glenwood Combination Antique Cook Stove, which the wood burning parts have been convert to gas. In addition the stove has eight burners and two ovens. One oven is eighteen inches times eleven inches high and eighteen inches deep. The other oven is eight inches deep times twelve inches high and eighteen inches deep.

The stove is up against the wall across from the hallway doorway into the kitchen. The back door is on the left-hand side of the stove if standing in the hallway doorway to the kitchen. In the center of the kitchen is a walnut island with a black granite counter top. Catalina starts to cry as looking around the kitchen and thinking of the last breakfast she ate in the kitchen. The last time she had breakfast in the kitchen, she had pancakes, which her grandfather cooked for her and himself. In addition it was the morning that the two of them left for Atlanta, Georgia. Catalina's grandfather was also her gymnastic coach and he passes away a few days later in Atlanta, Georgia.
Catalina walks away from the kitchen and walks over to the staircase. Catalina grabs her bags off the floor, then starts walking up the stairs and a minute later she steps onto the landing of the second floor. Then Catalina looks through the door that across from the staircase that lead into the small guests' bedroom that has peach colored walls. Catalina then turns to her right, so her back is to the first bedroom. Then walks down the hallway past the bathroom that has white marble floors, and white subway tiles on all the bathroom walls. In addition thin black lines of subway tiles are around the center of all the walls to form a break between the white subway tiles. The white subway tiles cover from the top of the wall to base of the walls. The white cast-iron clawfoot bathtub with a shower kit is up against the right-hand wall, if you are standing in the bathroom door. In addition the white round cast iron wall mount pedestal sink and the white Victorian High water tank pull chain toilet are on the wall across from the bathtub. The sink is on the left-hand side and the toilet is on the right if your back is to the bathtub.
Catalina walks down the hallway, which all of the hallway, dinning room and Parlour walls on the first floor and hallway of the second floor are light gold. However, the kitchen walls have white subway tiles on the walls without cabinets and on the walls between the upper and lower cabinets. Catalina walks up to the door of her bedroom that is across from the staircase. In addition she looks at the door that lead into her grandfathers' bedroom that is at the end of the hallway. Catalina turns and walks into her bedroom, which has lavender walls. The closet is on the far right-hand wall if standing in the bedroom door. Then Catalina set her bags down on the floor and in front of the footboard of the bed. The bed is a white cast-iron full sized bed and the headboard of the bed is up against the center of the wall across from her bedroom door. On the headboard and footboard are three roses. Catalina unzips her duffel bag and start unpacking her clothing, underwear, sport bra, bra and leotards that were washed yesterday at a laundromat. In addition she is thinking I wonder how far behind I have got in school since I missed the first two weeks of school.
Meanwhile, at Xander Harris's parent house, Xander is in his bedroom, which has light-blue walls. He has all ready change into a pair of red pajama pants and a red short sleeved shirt. Xander is laying on his bed with his eyes closed, but has not gone to sleep yet. Mrs. Harris knocks on her sons' bedroom door.
"Willow is on the phone."
"Tell her that I have Ah-choo went to bed."
"You are supposed to be study Algebra two over at Willow's house and it is too early for you to go to bed Xander, get up and talk to Willow."
"I do not feel well and I have a headache. Also, I'm tired just tell Willow that I went to bed Ah-choo."
"Fine but if you are not running a fever in the morning you will be going to school."
"Sniffling whatever mom."
Xander hears his mom walk away from his bedroom door. He rolls onto his left side and closes his eyes. He sneezes four more times, as he hears his mom talking to Willow on the phone. A few moments later Xander falls to sleep.
Meanwhile, Rupert Giles is at Sunnydale High School and he is in the library. He is wearing a gray tweed suit, a black vest, a white dress shirt that is under the vest and the suit jacket and a gray tie. Rupert Giles is busy stacking the library shelves. That way he can get the library opening since it is going on the third week of school. In addition the library was closed the first two weeks of the school year. Rupert Giles knows it is going to be a long night getting the school library ready. He is ok with it since he is not able to set up his personal library in the home library of the Georgian house that he is renting. The Georgian house was built in 1714 and he is renting the house from Catalina Victoria Reducan. Rupert cannot put away his personal books because Catalina could not pack her family book collect yet. The books are the only items she is taking out of the house. Catalina is letting Rupert Giles use all of the furniture and the plates, bowls, spoon, et cetera so he did not have to bring them over from England.
A few hours later Xander is awake and sitting up in bed. Xander is blowing his nose into a tissue, because his nose will not stop running and he is thinking I hope that I am not getting sick. Simultaneously Buffy, Willow and Catalina have gone to bed, Willow is having a dream about her and Xander being on a date at the movies. However, Buffy and Catalina are having a nightmare, both of them are dreaming about walking through a dark and wet cave together. The two of them are both wearing all black and two teenagers are both vampire slayers. Buffy and Catalina is not sure why the two of them are in the cave because neither one of them wants anything to deal with slay vampires nor killing demons. Catalina and Buffy see a teenage boy from school named Jesse chain to the cave floor and run over to him. Then the two of them are no longer in the cave but are standing in Sunnydale Cemetery looking at two open and empty graves. The slayers look at each other and then hear someone come up behind them. Buffy and Catalina turns around to see an ancient and powerful vampire who is in full vampire face. The male vampire is pale then the everyday vampire that the slayers face. The slayers see a female vampire who is not in vampire face and she has blonde hair and hazel eyes. The female vampire is standing beside the Master and her name is Darla. The master walks toward Buffy and Darla walks toward Catalina. Catalina does a roundhouse kick that sent Darla flying through the cemetery and simultaneously Buffy does a roundhouse kick. The master grab Buffy leg and then he throws Buffy across the cemetery. The nightmare goes on all night for the Buffy and Catalina, which mean the two teenagers do not get a good night sleep. In addition Xander is awake most of the night because he could not stop blowing his nose, so he only gets a few hours sleep.
Catalina's alarm clock goes off at six o'clock in the morning and she gets up right away. Catalina looks down at her clothing and sees that she had gone to sleep wearing the T-shirt and workout pants that she was wearing when she got home last night. She walks over to her dresser that is up against the wall on the right-hand side of the bedroom door and is across from her bed. Catalina open the top drawer on the left side of the dresser and grab a pair of underwear out of the drawer. Catalina's close the drawer and then open the top drawer on the right-hand side of the dresser. Then grab a pair of socks, a sport bra and a bra out of the dresser drawer. A few moments later Catalina throws the socks, a sport bra, a bra, underwear, a light-blue jean skirt onto her bed. She also throws a red wide strap tank top with a squared neckline and a red velvet leotard onto her bed. The leotard has long sleeves and gold stars over the whole leotard. Meanwhile, Buffy is still asleep. She is tossing and turning and dreaming too. In the dream she and Catalina are back in the cave walking toward the boy that is chain to the floor of the cave. A few minutes later Buffy has starts to dream about Catalina. She sees Catalina kneel on the ground beside an elder male that is laying on the ground hold his chest. The man is six feet tall, with gray thinning hair and brown eyes and he looks a lot like Catalina and Catalina is on her large gray flip cellphone. In addition a pale guy with dark brown hair, is fighting a blonde female vampire that is in full vampire face. It is the same female vampire from early in the dream when the two slayers were in Sunnydale Cemetery.
"Angelus's why are you fighting me? You are supposed to be on my side, not the human side?"
"I go by Angel now, Darla. I have been on the human side since 1898 in Borsa, Romaina when the Kalderash cursed me by restoring my human soul, which give me a conscience. In addition condemning me to an eternity of remorse for the crimes, I committed when I was soulless. I have not killed a human since then without feeling remorse for what I have done. Now I only killed vampires without soul and demons and I only drink pig blood now."
Darla knows that Angel is not saying this for her, but for the young slayer and the elder man laying on the ground. Darla throws a punch at Angel and Angel blocks the punch, then Angel and Darla hear an ambulance coming. Darla runs away from Angel. He watches her for a few moments and once she is out of sight Angel walks over to Catalina and Mr. Reducan. Angel looks down at Mr. Reducan and can tell he is in really bad shape. Then he looks at Catalina and notices that the young slayer is very worried about her grandfather. Simultaneously Catalina flip the cellphone closed and looks at Angel with a mix look of hatred and confuse on her face.
"Thank you for fighting that vampire and allow me to call nine-one-one for my grandfather who is having a heart attack."
"You are welcome. I know that you do not know what to think of me, since your mother and her family are part of the Kalderash clan that cursed me."
Angel stop talking because two EMT's are walking over to the three of them. The EMT's put Mr. Reducan onto the stretcher and then start to checking Mr. Reducan vital sign. At this point of the dream Buffy gets wakening up by the sound of someone knocking on her closed bedroom door. A few moments later Buffy's bedroom door open and Mrs. Summers who wearing a pair of black dress pants and a white sleeveless blouse walks into Buffy's bedroom. Mrs. Summers walks over to her daughters' bed and Buffy slowly sit up in bed rubbing her eyes.
"You need to get up and get ready for school."
"Can I stay home from school?"
Mrs. Summers looks at her daughter and notice that her eyes are puffy and she looks tired. Then Mrs. Summers puts her right hand onto Buffy's forehead, which does not feel warm. Mrs. Summers takes her hand off Buffy's forehead and puts her hands on her hips, then looks at Buffy who is still rubbing her eyes.
"You are not running a fever and seeing it is your first day at a new school, I feel that you should go to school."
"I did not sleep well last night and I feel achy all over from help you move all of the boxes into the house yesterday!"
"You need to go to school, so get up and get dress."
"Fine, but will you give me a ride to school?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Summers walks out of Buffy's bedroom and close the bedroom door behind her. Simultaneously Buffy gets out of bed, which the white cast iron headboard is up against the far right-hand wall after a window if standing in the bedroom door.

Along with winning all four event finals gold medals at the summer Olympic games. However, her grandfather Reducan that was her last living family member in the United State did dead over the summer. So she does have a reason for being a little sad, simultaneously Xander clears his throat.

"It is her first day back at school and Catalina needs to get her class schedule, locker number and locker combination from the office. Then go to the girl's locker room and change into a leotard. Because at the welcome back assembly Catalina is giving an exhibition of the vault, balance beam, uneven bars and floor routines that she did at the summer Olympic games."

At the summer Olympic games, I dedicate each of the floor routines to my grandmother and grandfather Reducan, since both of them love the song. In addition the song reminds me of my grandmother and grandfather."

I know you are going to want to know if I am retiring from the sport now or if I am going to stay in gymnastic? I going continue in the sport of gymnastics and I am going to try to make the 2000 summer Olympic team. I have all ready talk to Gina Ionescu and she is moving to Sunnydale from Dallas, Texas.

"I plan on have the surgery soon and take sometime off from full training. However, I will not stop working out fully. I will still do upper body workouts and mostly be working on uneven bars until the doctor gives me the ok to start training fully on all the events."
"We still have time before the bell to head to second hour rings.

However, Xander and Willow I would leave the killing of vampires and demon to the slayers."

"You can read ancient Romanian? Who teach you to read Romanian and ancient Romanian?"
"My grandparents on both sides teach me Romanian and my great-great grandparents and great grandparents on my mom side that still live in Borsa, Romania teaches me ancient Romanian."
Mr. Giles stop putting books into a box and looks up at Catalina and clear his throat. The two slayers and Willow look over at Giles who is taking books off a shelf on the far right-hand wall if standing with your back to the library door.
"Catalina would you mind translation the book writing in Romanian and ancient Romanian that deals with vampires, demons, supernatural. In addition translation the book writing in Romanian and ancient Romanian that deal with witchcraft and Gypsies spell and curse for me? It would help me as a watcher to know what is in these books?"
"Sure Mr. Giles, but it will take me a while."
'That is fine Catalina. Take as much time as you need."
Mr. Giles, Willow and Buffy go back to take books off the shelves. Catalina takes the books off the shelf she can reach from the chair on which she is sitting. Two hours later Mr. Giles is pulling his car up beside the sidewalk that is in front of Catalina's Victorian row house.
