Buffy woke up in the morning, took a quick shower . She combed her hair and peeked into Dawns room. Jessica must have taken Dawn to school."Hey!" a voice called down from the stairs."In the kitchen Jess!"she called. She sat down and looked up at Jessica"Jess, there are more things I haven't told you,recently, Glory knows that the key is a person, she has attacked Spike and Tara. and I want you to know that, please be careful, her minions have somehow been following me everywhere, I killed two of them yesterday and one today, it was right behind Dawn.......so I had to do something, but Jess please remeber, you're the slayer ok? and Im scared for Dawn and you everyday, I mean I wake up and Im like"Please don't let Glory get the key today."she said through the brink of tears."Jess, I just want to you to be careful and see where you are at all time, I can't lose you or Dawn. You're both family to me,my flesh and blood and I already lost one, I don;t want to lose two more"she said as she grabbed a kleenex and wiped her eyes. Jessica hugged her cousin"I will do my job as a slayer, and I promise I won't let you or Dawnie down"she said as she stroked her hair. Both girls stood in silent for a moment. It had seemed like forever since she had felt this emotion. A shared emotion with her cousin. Gently, she got up and stared at Jessica"Um Giles called earlier, he canceled training for today, he said he had to go out of town to do somethings for the Magic Shop or something, weirdly he left Anya and Xander with the store."Buffy?"Jessica asked."Remeber you told me something about you going on a quest and the first slayer saying something about love?". Buffy nodded."I was so scared after Mom died, Giles let me go on a quest to ask some questions to the first slayer in the desert. She talked to me and I asked her questions, about love, if I had lost my ability to love. she told me I was full of love but sometimes I rejected it. And that my mother's death was a gift"Buffy said with a hint of anger and sadness in her voice."Do you want to go on the quest?"Buffy asked. Jessica shook her head."Im not ready just yet Im still coping with being the slayer and all so............""I understand"Buffy agreed"But, if you want to come on patrol with me, I can allow that." Jessica grinned."Of course in the night, I'll tell Anya and Xander to take care of Dawn and Will to do a protection spell.". Both girls got up and started to clear the kitchen."I could train with you if you want"Buffy suggested. Jessica thought a minute"Okay"she said with a small shrug. She led Jessica into a trainig room in her house in the back yard. Buffy demonstraed some of the moves as Jessica watched carefully. Jessica tried doing some of the moves, and did them well."I was in cheerleading"Jessica said with a smile. A few hours later, both had meet up with Willow at the student cafeteria"Ew, SVU has better food then this!"Jessica exclaimed as she examined a rotted apple on her lunch tray.Buffy laughed as they headed to there table. Willow sat down and smiled at Jessica"What do you think of the hellmouth so far?r" Jessica shrugged"It's okay except a god and vampires are wreaking major havoc and a cousin that is a glowy key thingy and a cousin that is some slayer but as I see it, life for me as this moment is going normal like it has always been "Jessica said with a grin."Do vampire's know you're a slayer and cousin to the slayer"Willow asked. Jessica shook her head."If word on the street gets there three slayers, counting Elizabeth, the'll be alot of hell. Especially twin slayers"Willow panicked. Both Buffy and Willow looked at Jessica."What?"Jessica said with fear."A new look"they both said at the same time."Come on"Buffy said with a smile. A few minutes later they were at the mall infront of a hair salon. Jessica groaned as Buffy dragged her in.She winced as she saw her long blonde strands of hair on the floor. Her hair was being dyed a darker blonde, her eyebrows lighter. Her long blonde hair was know shoulder length and cut in front layers. She stepped infront of Willow and Buffy. "How do I look?"she said nervously. Both Willow and Buffy grinned"Not like Liz"Buffy responded with a grin."Liz is going to kill me"Jessica mumbled."Oh my gosh I forgot that Dawn was at home! Willow did you do that spell before we left?" Willow nodded as she popped open her car. Buffy sighed a relif as she saw Dawn outside of there home and mowing the grass. Buffy ran up to Dawn"Are you okay"she asked out of breath Dawn rolled her eyes"No Glory stuck me through some key hole and I released hell"she supplied with a grin. Buffy rolled her eyes."Come on and see Jess"she said with a smile. Dawn gasped as she looked at Jessica"Wow!you no look diffrent!"she exclaimed. Jessica blushed and shot a look at Buffy. Buffy ushered Dawn and Jessica in the house."Um Giles called earlier, something about a test for Jessica."Dawn replied and ran upstairs. Jessica glanced worridly at Buffy. Buffy ran to the phone, surprised to see Giles all ready there in the kitchen."Hello Buffy, Jessica"he said politely as he gestured for them to sit down. Jessica wearily took a seat next to Buffy."I was looking ovr the Watcher's diary, and something about the first test of a twin slayer, is to patroll alone." A fear shot up threw Jessica's spine. Im not ready yet I've only been training for three weeks! Jessica's mind screamed. She gave Buffy a panicked look."She's not ready Giles"Buffy said through her teeth."It's not the matter of being ready Buffy,in the third week of twin slayer, she has to doit. It is required."Jessica felt her bones go stiff."When is it?" Giles glanced at her in her direction"Tonight"he replied without hesitation. Jessica glanced out the window. It was nearly dusk."I;ll be back"she said softly and indicated for Buffy to come with her. They both went up to Jessica's room as Buffy loaded a backpack with stakes and crossbows. She slipped off her golden cross and gave it to Buffy."I want you to have it, my mom gave it to me but I want you to have it, so you can always remeber your family and being the slayer at being the slayer"she said softly as she hugged her. Jessica gave her a small smile and clasped it on to her neck. It was nearly dark when both Buffy and Jessica arrived at the graveyard."I can only watch, Giles to."she said softly. Jessica waited as a creature plunged from the dark. She whirledaroundand plunged the stake at the vampire's heart.She grabbed her crossbow and managed to dust five vampire's. Buffy clung on to a stake and threw one at a vampire."She passed"Giles replied."You are know officaily a slayer, counting Elizabeth"."How Elizabeth? Jessica asked with confusion."Both of you were fighting, part of Elizabeth's soul and yours."Jessica smiled and got into Gile's car and waited why he drove them home."Get a goodnight's sleep, Jessica tommoow we will resume training. Jessica stifned a groan and gave him a wry smile and shut the door and she ran upthe stairs and into her bed. Now she was a slayer and she had to deal with it.
