Ext. - Over Sunnydale - Day

The town is filled with pleasent homes, businesses, and ambling cars and pedestrians.

Buffy (V.O.): Welcome to Sunnydale.

We pan across very normal people ranging from rich looking businessman to skateboarding teenager.

Buffy (V.O.) - It looks like a nice, normal town, doesn't it?

We see a coffee shop with people talking pleastly over cappucinos in it.

Buffy (V.O.) - Maybe during the day, it is.

The sun starts to set and the sky goes dark.

Buffy (V.O.) - But, after the sun goes down, things change.

We see people hurry into their homes nervously as their shadows dissappear.

Buffy (V.O.) - It's night when the creatures come out.

Several people step out of an abandoned warehouse, and we see from their fanged and lumpy faces that they are vampires.

A manhole cover is lifted up and a demon's claw slides out of it.

Buffy (V.O.) - I've seen the things that go bump in the night.

A tatooed man performs a blood ritual in a shadowy, candle filled room.

Buffy (V.O.) - I've seen them hunt. . .

A vampire bites a woman in an alley.

Buffy (V.O.) - and I've seen them kill.

A dark creature with massive horns watches a couple from behind a tree in the park.

Buffy (V.O.) - There are more terrors in this town than in anyone's worst nightmare.

Bats, larger than hawks, fly through the night air.

Buffy (V.O.) - No one can ever really defeat them. More always come to prey on the innocent.

A vampire starts to claw his way out of the grave.

Buffy (V.O.) - All I can do is save people, one life at a time.

The vampire looks up to see Buffy's face. She drives a stake into his heart and he turns to dust. Buffy walks silently out of the cemetery.

Buffy (V.O.) - I'm Buffy. The Vampire Slayer.
