Same Old Brand New You
----------------------
By: Buffy Ann Summers
Summary: She wasn't in charge of her life. She was judged without knowing.
She fell in love. And lost. She's been given a new life. With a new slayer
ruling her life. What is Buffy going to do now? B/F.. R/R!! Please!!
A/N: Uh.. yea part two. in part one I forgot to mention Brandy's song. And in
this fic um there's Bon Jovi, and mandy moore. I continued it and sorry if
there is a bit of shakespear related writing *eh-he* sorry! were kinda doing
Romeo and Juliet in one of my classes so the shakespear related high is still
there in my head. Hehe. Anyways lemme know what you think!
Acknowldege -ments: um... to jackie (for props) and joanna.
wuv you!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
She twisted, turned, flopped, and churned. Inside her soul that once
contained the talented slayer. There was no light at the end of the tunnel.
There were no angelic choir. There were no pearly gates. Just pain. Pain
that throbbed inside her head -kicking, punching, and screaming. Pain
commanding her to open her eyes. Wisphering. Many wisphers of many voices.
Loud and confusing, but among them she heard familarity. A voice. A hope.
An angel.
"give her some air girls .. c'mon" came the voice of recongnition
"what happened?"
"she kinda *boom* fell on the floor" came one of the girls, which if
she had opened her eyes who'd have seen them huddled around her.
"Thank you uh- Rae for the-the visuals" the male voice answered "now
if Autumn, Jacklynn, and Joanna .. please step back and give her some air I
would appreciate it"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She didn't get it. None of it made sense. She opened her eyes to
welcome the bright sun that expressed it's greetings by blinding her lightly.
Who was she now?
"G-Giles?" she had her voice, she had her hands, and body -hopefully
"what am I doing here? -uh where's willow?"
"Willow? um.. Buffy -it's Buffy isn't it?"
She scoffed "nice joke Giles ... really it's corny but no haha funny"
"she seems okay.." he muttered to himself "we'll just keep this to
ourselves and not tell you watcher"
She was taken back by his response "Watcher? .. aren't you my
watcher?"
The other girls giggled. Buffy shot them a look then reverted her
gaze to Giles.
"he can't possibly be your watcher" replied a girl with a french
accent "he's the slayer's watcher, really" she scoffed and took one look at
Buffy "yours?" she giggled again and buffy swore to herself she wouldn't hurt
the girl -much.
Buffy stood up and headed towards the girl's direction. She instanly
had hate for the girl.
"You know what -I just barely know you and I don't like you" she
spatt "so .. I wouldn't talk if you have nothing nice to say or I'll be
ripping that tounge out of you mouth.."
"Girls. Girls" came giles "please .. now lets get on with our
training please?"
She tore her icy glare away from the girl with the ridiculous braided
hair. They were mocking her literally. The forces -whatever they were. This
was some kind of joke.
"Stupid forces.." she muttered, she looked at Giles and everyone who
seemed to be surprised at her.
"lets get back to where we were shall we?" he nodded, "now all of
you if one day choosen to be the slayer you must know differnt kinds of
techniques to defend yourself..."
His voice droned off. One day choosen? Questions rose in her mind
and seemingly her head again throbbed. She shrugged it off. Much has
happened in a little amount of time. She was a slayer-in-training and
Whistler had a lot of explaining to do once she found him. Right now she had
to figure a way to get out of here. Which was where exactly?
Giles looked at her.
"Buffy, will you come forward?" he called "now, girls I will show you
how to defend yourself if ambushed from behind .. now" he positioned himself
behind her and wrapped his arm around her throat, before explaining to the
girl what she had to do, she did the next position which was to flip him
over.
Buffy smirked. This was what Giles tried to teach her when they first
met. However, back then Giles was HER watcher. And not someone elses. She
missed him. Even though he was right there in front of her she felt so apart.
Suddenly a man burst into the room. He was around 5 feet tall and in
a watcher-like outfit which Buffy couldn't yet begin to describe.
"There's been a accident..." he spoke out of breath "Vampires" was
his last words before the girls dashed out of the room. Looking eager to
slay. 'This was stupid, she thought these girls had no experience whatsoever.
They didn't have the right equipment' Buffy paused for a moment to grab a
stake which she then hid in her black jeans.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The night was great friend to see again. It's black cloak that spead
like an ashed colored blanket was out numbered by the amount of star that
hung from the skies. They smiled and twinkled, watching the petite slayers
jump about. To Buffy it wasn't a slay. It's was more like -a birthday party.
Girls flying everywhere. She ducked an incoming attack from one vamp, a
fledgling maybe -whatever it was it was now fish food. Not that fishes eat
vampire remains or say dust. They just look like the fish food Willow fed her
fishes before Angel decided to make a lovely necklace out of them. Poor
Willow where was she now?
She dusted a few more before realizing all the weaklings have been
detucted to three vamps and on her side was -her. Buffy shook her head.
This wasn't a birthday party, it was a freakin' nightmare. She sighed.
"Why is it no matter what life I end up in I always end up fighting
the strong ones?" she paused "it's not that your strong .. It's just that I'm
getting tired fiting situations like these. So come on. You three against me.
And I doubt you make me happy"
"looky here, guys" chuckled a voice "a cute one isn't she"
Her jaw dropped.
"too bad" he continued "after tonight"
"What"
"I'm going to kill you"
Buffy scoffed. It was the same. She was living the same life all over
again "ooo.. yea I know the big bad. Don't you ever get tired of saying the
same thing everytime we meet?" she scoffed again "Okay, Spike. Lets fight.
I'm up for dancing"
He stared at her. The girl that called her Spike.
"Dance with you? are you off your bird" he questioned "I bloody want
to kill you!"
She had the stake in her hand. And walked up to him.
"Yea. uh-huh." she smirled "but, before that let me kill your
girlfriend" she spun behind her where Drusilla stood and staked her.
Spike's body filled with rage and stared at the dusts on the ground.
He didn't feel like Spike, but more of an animal. Losing control. He charged
at the girl who's love died by her hands. Stained. Immortal blood taken by
fair hands. What cruel fate could have unleashed this? his Drusilla, but weak
and fragile creature that walked on two feet now slain by slayer's touch. She
vanished by sight and hath a thought that came to him -was he blind to not
see true love's lethel kiss, That gave her but one breath before fading out
by thine eyes. True apocracy. Death came final outcome lunging it's sword
though her chest. He laughed like a madman.
"Damn you slayer" he cursed, glaring with eyes of the unknown "Damn
you" he uttered once more before finally recieving a blow.
Shedding but blood of his own, that greeted his lips he snarled. No
longer was this creature a creature. This was a monster. Monster of the ages
whereas defiled by mans eye. Hidden in true secret. Urged by sinful hands
that did these sinful acts. But marked by the glaring moon which his love was
sworn by death, came and sweeped her away. Upon a carriage did doth took and
fled to the fires of hell, where Hades awaited to make her his bride.
But this. This moment of pure hated and despise -he wished the
moment wouldn't end and yet he wished to have gone back to time and save her.
But it was over and done with. Spike was not the type to be grieving -he'd
do that later. Later when this girl's blood is spilled over his hands. Joy
and other feeling of happiness which could not be explained brought forth a
smile on his wicked face. His front did not stay human.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No words were said nevertheless, there was no need to say anything.
She wanted to say something. But realizing she just had killed his lover
she shrugged it off. She ducked an attack. No more thinking. It would have
gotten her killed. But she had not known Drusilla was there. She had not
known they were still together. Was it still her fault?
She pinned him on the ground. her legs bearing weight over his
abdomen. She stared into his eyes. Those eyes she had lost. those eyes she
had last seen before she -died. Had he known her? did he know who she was?
"Spike" she said firmly, she pressed hard on his shoulders. She
wanted him to know her. Some hint that he had seen her somewhere.
"Spike" she said again with force "listen to me. I am having a very
bad day. I just lost my life because of you. And if you continue to play the
big bad wolf here -I swear"
"Listen here, pet. Cut the crap. I'm not here to play dolly with a
pre-slay. I'm here for the slayer -"
"That's just it" she growled "I'm the slayer. And if you call me that
I swear by this ground you lay on. I will beat you till you turn black and
blue"
He chuckled "lil' one has rocks"
"oh .. I've got rocks alright" she paused, it seemed all to familiar.
She stared at the man beneath her. She loved him once -in a lifetime.
This man that promised her everything would be okay, he'll never leave her
and that he loved her. But she felt alone, now. So clearly. Her face battled
with tears that stung from her eyes, against her will. What was this? -a
crying slayer. She smiled, she tried.
"I remember" she spoke "I lay asleep. and you were watching me. I
totally didn't want to ruin the moment but.. I watched you too. I watched you
stroke my hair and listened when you tolded me that you loved me way back
even before we met." tears fell to her checks as the man de-vamped "I
guess I really was too stubborn to see it. But I think I fell in love with
you too." she gave a silent laugh "I see it funny now. You were always tough.
But when you were around me .. you saw my world. You saw how people saw me"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended too soon
You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark gray sky
I was changed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He watched her in eyes of amazement. This girl with hair like the
enemy he had feared at daytime, with lips like a blossoming rose, and skin
like the moon. She spoke as if she had known him for a long period of time.
She was something. A dream. A vision.
The air thickened again. They were there. Buffy felt them. She felt
them as the hair on the back of her neck rose. They were watching. They were
listening. She tore her eyes away from the man named spike. A sudden feeling
of fear caught her. She had to leave. But she didn't want to.
Her ears perked up and distant wispheres were heard. She tore herself
away from him. It hurt like hell, but she ran. Tears fell from her eyes in
the process and it was the least thing in her mind right now. She had to find
Whistler.
"Whistler! where are you?! get your ass over here!!" she yelled into
the night. She was in the woods. where ever that was. The smell of pine was
strong and Buffy crouched on her knees to bury her face with her hands.
"Would you stop screaming, kid?" he came, crunching pine cones with
his armani shoes "great" he muttered looking down at them "you could attract
all sorts of things here in London"
"London?!" she cried "that's where I am?! you put me in freakin'
London?! what ever happened to 'were giving you a new live' blah-blah-BLAH!"
"hey, slow down there" he answered "I told you I was going to do
something to make it more easier for you. And it seemes you were destined to
be this unknown big-shot slayer, so we gave you a life of a in training
slayer to work the kinks out. You know one slayer dies another is brought
out, that kind of deal." he chuckled "But lemme tell you this, Kid. We again
didn't see that"
Her face questioned him silently "what do you mean by that?"
"One word, one syllable -Spike. It's crazy again he came out of
nowhere. He's suppose to be in Brazil right now. You've stummped us,slayer."
"Are you telling me you put Spike some place half around the world?
and all of a sudden he poofs and just happens to be in England?" she thought
for a moment "so correct me if I'm wrong. The forces and the judges -these
high electrical power beings, these-these smart things can come up with
anything -you really must be joking"
Whistler nodded his head "you got us stumped."
"So.. it's okay that Spike's with me"
Whistler nodded his head "I guess"
"So I can have my old life again, right?"
"No"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tried to pick the pieces up
And I can't think of starting over
We used to share the stars above
I don't wanna think it changed
And now I gotta move on
I've gotta catch up to the world
Even though I gave you my life
As wrong as it seems I know it's right
But is there a trace that I can go away
To escape the love that I will forever know
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She stood there stunned. The words hit her like a ton of bricks.
"What do you mean ..NO?" she asked "you said it's okay to love Spike,
so what do you mean NO I can't have my life back?"
He sighed "Well kid, we already have someone filling in your shoes.
So basiclly we really don't need you at the moment."
"At the moment? so your saying I can't have my life back because
someone's already slayer?!"
Whistler nodded.
"Okay, yea .. I think I got it" she paused "So what if something
happens to this new girl. what will happen?"
"You be choosen the next slayer"
Buffy grinned and scoffed "Okay.. now I know what I have to do.."
She began walking, before whistler replied to her.
"What are you going to do now?!" he yelled
Buffy smirked "don't you know? since you know the forces -why don't
you go and ask them?"
Whistler yelled "We know outcomes,kid! Not what's going in your
head!"
Buffy stopped "don't you know how the prohecy goes? If one girl dies,
another slayer is called?"
Whistler chuckled "you think killing the slayer will be easy? -think
again, kid. It wouldn't be easy."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She walked silently down the hallways of pictures of old people who
probably is 6 feet underground and maybe decomposing. These were the
watcher's back then. Old and more old. Her stomach had butterflies and to
her finding Giles was also like finding the slayer. And usually Giles spent
his time in the library. Which where she was attepmting to find in the large
castle -like buliding. Buffy rounded the corner to the invitable and heard
distinct voices in her head, or maybe the large room in the corner.
"Giles?" she called out, he called back.
"In here" her replied, Buffy followed his voice and came into a large
library.
"Wow.. Giles.. You must like this place than the dinky room in
Sunnydale.." she view some books then looked at him.
"S-Sunnydale?" he questioned, there was that feeling again -de javu
"w-well, I heard you took on vampires hours ago... how was it?"
She shrugged "Same old feeling"
There was a voice that came from behind the bookshelves.
"oh, that reminds me. Buffy you should meet the slayer" he smiled and
continued "you'd have a lot of questions to ask her, I doubt"
Buffy gave a wry smile as Giles called to the girl.
She turned her head and saw her. Like an angel in black. She came
down the stepps and her heart broke.
"Willow..."

and all of a sudden he poofs and just happens to be in England?" she thought
for a moment "so correct me if I'm wrong. The forces and the judges -these
high electrical power beings, these-these smart things can come up with
anything -you really must be joking"
Whistler nodded his head "you got us stumped."
"So.. it's okay that Spike's with me"
Whistler nodded his head "I guess"
"So I can have my old life again, right?"
"No"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tried to pick the pieces up
And I can't think of starting over
We used to share the stars above
I don't wanna think it changed
And now I gotta move on
I've gotta catch up to the world
Even though I gave you my life
As wrong as it seems I know it's right
But is there a trace that I can go away
To escape the love that I will forever know
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She stood there stunned. The words hit her like a ton of bricks.
"What do you mean ..NO?" she asked "you said it's okay to love Spike,
so what do you mean NO I can't have my life back?"
He sighed "Well kid, we already have someone filling in your shoes.
So basiclly we really don't need you at the moment."
"At the moment? so your saying I can't have my life back because
someone's already slayer?!"
Whistler nodded.
"Okay, yea .. I think I got it" she paused "So what if something
happens to this new girl. what will happen?"
"You be choosen the next slayer"
Buffy grinned and scoffed "Okay.. now I know what I have to do.."
She began walking, before whistler replied to her.
"What are you going to do now?!" he yelled
Buffy smirked "don't you know? since you know the forces -why don't
you go and ask them?"
Whistler yelled "We know outcomes,kid! Not what's going in your
head!"
Buffy stopped "don't you know how the prohecy goes? If one girl dies,
another slayer is called?"
Whistler chuckled "you think killing the slayer will be easy? -think
again, kid. It wouldn't be easy."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She walked silently down the hallways of pictures of old people who
probably is 6 feet underground and maybe decomposing. These were the
watcher's back then. Old and more old. Her stomach had butterflies and to
her finding Giles was also like finding the slayer. And usually Giles spent
his time in the library. Which where she was attepmting to find in the large
castle -like buliding. Buffy rounded the corner to the invitable and heard
distinct voices in her head, or maybe the large room in the corner.
"Giles?" she called out, he called back.
"In here" her replied, Buffy followed his voice and came into a large
library.
"Wow.. Giles.. You must like this place than the dinky room in
Sunnydale.." she view some books then looked at him.
"S-Sunnydale?" he questioned, there was that feeling again -de javu
"w-well, I heard you took on vampires hours ago... how was it?"
She shrugged "Same old feeling"
There was a voice that came from behind the bookshelves.
"oh, that reminds me. Buffy you should meet the slayer" he smiled and
continued "you'd have a lot of questions to ask her, I doubt"
Buffy gave a wry smile as Giles called to the girl.
She turned her head and saw her. Like an angel in black. She came
down the stepps and her heart broke.
"Willow..."
