ECEM: Hi! I'm Emma-Courtney-Elizabeth-Mai Julia Rockwell. I have fused with the writer of this story…
She pulled out a remote and pressed a button making a projection of a thirteen-year-old blue-eyed girl with two bangs on each side of her face and black curly hair pulled back into a ponytail.
ECEM:…to bring you this story, which we hope, you enjoy. Now that's over copyright and credits shall be brought to you by Spike. Spike!
Emma eyes quickly found Spike's who quickly pulled out a piece of paper almost looking terrified at her.
Spike: Er…right All character of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" belong to Joss Wendon, Mutant Enemy, UPN, and some others. The writer Brittany/Emma owns nothing in this story not even the idea for the disclaimer or Bryan even though she wishes she did but settles for him being her muse.
ECEM: Thank you Spike
Anya: Now that, that's done what are we going to do till the story is over?
ECEM: *Imitating the Crocodile Hunter* Of course today people were going to take a trip around the world in er…a lot days?
Xander: We might be trapped and are being used…again by some crazy writer but a least we get to vacation around the world! When do we get vacations?
Anya glared at Xander from the far corner of the room where she sat by Giles and then got up and whacked Xander in the head.
Anya: If you would have went through with our wedding maybe we would have had a vacation!
Xander quickly rubbed his red cheek and sat down looking at the girls excepting sympathetic looks but instead got heated glares from Buffy, Willow, Tara, and Dawn a pat on the leg from Drucilla and nothing from Darla.
ECEM: Er…Let's get the story started

"Emma" He whispered in her ear. The young teen's face flushed as her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her ribcage "Yea?" She replied looking into his dark brown eyes. "I love you" He replied as she felt herself fall into his arms with a grin on her face. He looked into her green eyes as another pair of arms wrapped around her waist "Lizzy" He whispered. "Lizzy" He said his voice turning slightly fuzzy.
"Lizzy!" A more feminine voice yelled as her world became black. "Lizzy it's time to get up lets go!" Her mom shouted kicking the washroom door open with her foot as she held a yellow wastebasket.
Courtney quickly sat up from her bed her black hair flying into her face and quickly begun to rush around the room looking for something to wear. The fourteen-year-old girl groaned tripping over her pink sweater as she pulled out a pair of baggy dark-blue jeans then hurried to her closet and pulled out a dark blue jersey. She then quickly rushed to the bathroom taking a shower and then tried to get fully clad. Finally after dressing grabbing her dark blue jean jacket and her books she trampled down stairs to the kitchen passing her little brother who was reading some dumb poem.
"Fishes swim with no match to her grace
The greatestes painter does no good to her face
Her en…gforlfint looks cannot be described…"
She shook her head sitting down at the table next to her older brother Mike as he cringed and she didn't know if it was the awful poetry or their brothers reading. "I totally don't know why mom keeps that." Courtney said playing with her earring while her nose crinkled. Mike sighed looking her over with weary eyes. She already had more earrings then their mom would ever let him get.
Black hair hung freely below her ears. She had outstandingly black eyelashes that brought out her emerald eyes. She was pretty tall about 6 feet tall. Courtney was also very pretty but her being his sister he would probably never tell her that. Also the fact that she grew up around boys made Courtney very tomboyish so she wasn't very ladylike.
"It's a classic," her mother said out of breath as she came down the stairs and grabbed a bagel "You really great uncle William was an English poet. Or at least he wanted to be." She continued, "I thought we were Spanish?" Jack said coming into the room. "Well we are but back in the 1800's William's brother your really great grandpa married your really great grandma Maria who was from Spain." They shrugged and Mike exited the room with Courtney who had finished her breakfast.
"Hey Lizzy?" Mike asked as she sat on the couch. She looked at him sharply turning to MTV. She hated that nickname Lizzy. She rather preferred Emma, Lizabeth as her little brothers called her, Mai, or her middle name Julia. But most of her family preferred Lizzy because her brothers knew she hated it and her parents did it because they thought it was cute. "I know some prom dance or whatever is next week how in the world are you gonna get a date?" He asked smirking "What!" she yelled blushing "Well your not exactly first candidate I mean look at what your cloths how are you going to get a date looking like that?" Mike asked as she frowned "She won't have to." Gene Courtney's dad said entering the room with a jacket slung over his shoulder car keys in hand Courtney blinked.
"Why not?"
"Because Mai we're moving Friday." He said exiting the room. Mike looked like nothing had happened but Courtney jumped up and stormed into the kitchen angrily screaming "WHAT!" Her little brother David jumped.
Her mother looked at her and Jack sympathetically
"We were going to tell you guys sooner but we didn't know the right time to tell you." She said softly. Courtney's eye blazed as she grabbed her book and jacket
"But it's Monday! How can we move in five days? You've been planning this for how long?" Jack asked upset
"Oh we are totally talking about this when we get home."
"Lizzy we're moving I'm sorry but there's no further discussion. We've thought and planned this for two mouths there's no way around this." Her mother replied
"What? But what about all of our friends! I'm mean we've lived here forever we can't just move!" Jack yelled upset "I mean what about my girlfriend and school? It's almost time for college!" he continued. Courtney glared at her mother angrily "Why didn't you tell us earlier?" She asked, "I don't know me and your dad didn't want to hurt you gu…" she trailed off as Courtney ran out the house.
[~*~*~*~]
Courtney stopped panting as she reached the
school front where a couple of kids were slowly making their way to the door.
She sighed as she walked to the door and spotted her best friend Ti but she was
not in the mood to say hi. Brushing her hair out of her face she entered
through the back door and angrily made her way to the third floor then opened
her locker. "Hey, Julia (It's her middle name) you look like you dog just
died or something." Her other best friend Bryan said coming up
behind her causing her to blush as she looked him over.
He had that dark brown spikey messed up hair like her obsession Mike Shinoda from Linkin Park he had one diamond earring that his friend Chester always teased him about and he had dark brown eyelashes. Bryan was also real tall like seven feet, which made it better to stare at his ice blue eyes his lips were a hot pinkish red that she couldn't keep her eyes off. His was wearing a pair of baggy tan pants and a tan plaid shirt that made him look very cute. However even though he was extremely cute his arrogant attitude gave most girls the turn off except Courtney. However it also helped that he didn't always give her that attitude.
"Hay is for horses not for people!" Chester joked with a small smirk as he collected his books. Courtney rolled her eyes as she put her back and jacket then quickly collected her books as Chester looked at her with a raised eyebrow
"But seriously what's wrong with you Mai?" He asked
"My mom and dad told us we where moving in five days!" She replied as tears stung her eyes. It hurt more when she said it out loud.
"What?" Bryan asked tucking his books under his arm
"You can't move!" Chester said standing up
"Well tell that to my mom and dad from what they say we have no say in this. I don't even know where we're moving!" She said before rushing to her homeroom 513 where she dropped her books at her desk and ran to the bathroom.
[~*~*~*~]
Courtney was sitting on the bathroom floor sniffling holding rumpled up tissue when her friend Ti came into.
"Oh Mai I'm sooo sorry" Ti said playing with the hem of her red t-shirt. Ti was Courtney's only friend that was a girl they were closer to each other then the boys. They spent hours telling each other secrets about everything from crushes to horrible obsessions. Courtney sighed and looked at Ti. Ti was shorter then her and the rest of the boys because she was about 4 feet tall. Her skin was a light honey brown she had almond brown eyes that covered by were long dark lashes. Her hair was very long it went down to her back, which was probably longer, then it looked since it was unreasonably curly but she didn't mind because most guys considered it an turn on. Her hair was kept in one ponytail, which Courtney thought was boring and she had two bangs that dangled on each side of her face that reached her chin. Also she was wearing a red t-shirt that said "BOYS LIE" in black letters a pair of black jeans and some black boots that she always wore.
"Oh Ti I don't know what to do." Courtney said as Ti sat down next to her "I mean I'll miss everyone and you and what about the dance I never asked Bryan! Oh God I'm glad I was too scared to tell him how I feel or I would have been crushed!" She cried blowing her nose. Ti smiled sympathetically and took the tissue.
"Listen Mai let's get you clean up and out of here. If we don't we'll be late for first period! Now all you have to do is forget about everything your mom told you this mourning and we'll talk about this after school. Can you do that?" Ti asked as Courtney nodded
"Alright now we'll get you clean up and outa here then to first period math." She said wiping Courtney face with a tissue as Courtney groaned. After a few minutes she was all cleaned up minus her red puffy cheeks and bloodshot eyes and they headed out two minutes before the first bell ring and were fortunately not late for homeroom class.
[~*~*~*~]
Courtney quickly sat down in between Bryan and Chester and hugged her books. "You'll be fine" Derek another one f her friends said "I've been through the same thing and I'm fine." He continued patting her on the shoulder
"Yeah Mai-Lei look at me I'm fine." Tony said using her special nickname he gave her. She blushed from all the looks people were giving her and smiled "I know" she said, "You guys just better write me everyday tellin' me how things are goin'" She continued
"I promise." Chester said sticking his tongue out at her "You've got my word baby." Bryan said hugging her as the first bell rung causing her to blush even more. He pulled away as the teacher entered the room much to her disappointment and smiled at her. Courtney's head snapped in Ti's direction her face beat red as she grinned and Ti smiled and gave her a thumbs up. Courtney grinned as she leaned back in her seat and begun to tune out the teacher's droning much like everyone else. However she still caught all the important stuff as she began to think to her self. Maybe moving wouldn't be that bad.
