Story: Set after "The Gift", the season 5 final. The Bufster's dead, and a
new Slayer's in town, as well as something else that's got everybody
baffled!
Disclaimer: yeah,yeah, I don't own Buffy, Joss Whedon and all dem do. I don't own the characters, except for maybe Tallulah, seeing that's me, and even then I'm not totally sure if I own myself. ho hum.
Author's Note: well, duh. This is what is commonly known as a Bu-ffy Fan- fict-ion. If you don't know what that is, then WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? Go play in a sandpit somewhere!.sorry.

[Dawn sits in class, feeling very uncomfortable for some reason, like she's being watched. She turns around, only to see the new girl, Tallulah, quickly turn away and stare down at her books. Dawn dismisses it as just a weird new girl thing]

[Giles leans against the counter as Spike paces up and down]
Spike: I'm telling you Giles there was somebody there last night. And I'm pretty sure somebody was watching us this morning too.
Giles: Some sort of Demon, do you think? ::I can't believe this. He's been paranoid since Buffy's death, but this is really pushing the limits. I may as well play along, maybe it will help him deal. Maybe it will help me deal.::
Spike: It didn't feel like any demon I've ever encountered. It smelt different. Like a vampire. But it was definitely alive.
Giles: [splutters] But. that's impossible. Are you sure you weren't imagining things?
Spike: [grabs Giles' tie] I'm sure. [snarls and lets him go quickly as Willow, Anya, Tara and Xander enter, followed a moment later by Dawn.]
Dawn: hey guys. wait up.
Xander: Giles, we have a problem.
Anya: one of Dawny's friends -
Dawn: hey, she's not my friend, I only met her today. Anya: Whatever.
[all the scoobies start talking at once]
Giles: Children!
[they all stop and look at the man in surprise]
Giles: please. One at a time. Dawn. Tell me. What did one of your friends do?
Dawn: Okay, look, first of all I just want you to know. I told NOBODY. I didn't even tell my best friends. Nobody knew. At least that's what I thought. But I met this new girl today, she said her name was, uh, Tallulah. Tallulah Grey I think it was. She knew, Giles. She knows Buffy is dead.
Spike: I knew it! There's something out there! And that girl is a part of it. Dawn, did you by any chance happen to see her hiding from sunlight or -
Dawn: Spike. It's a school. How do you think she'd be able to hide? Anyway, she's not a vampire. The first time I saw her, I saw her reflection.
Giles: Just because she's not the vampire Spike has been sensing lately, that doesn't mean she's not a threat. Take her aside Dawn. Make friends with her. See if you can find out how she knows. But don't let her get suspicious. We don't know who or what she is. [Dawn nods in agreement]
Xander: So do we hit the books? Find out if there are any famous demons or witches that fit this girl's description?
Giles: Good idea. Spike, after sunset, you hit the streets. See if you can find out anything about new demons in town. And set the Buffybot on patrol.
[Spike cringes at the mention of the robot that is almost the clone of his Love. Even with the (ahem) 'extra programming' removed, Spike could hardly stand to be near it.]
Giles: You four, hit the books. And Dawn. [Dawn looks up hopefully] Do your homework.
~~~^~~~ AN - hahaha! Another short chapter! Don't worry, hopefully the next one will be long! Veeery long! Almost as long as the wait you'll do for it! Hahahahahahahahahargh. [chokes and falls down dead in a hole] oops.
Plz r and r anyway! I'm sure my ghost can take care of it for me, and maybe even finish writing it! Hehehe
Thanks for the reviews so far!
