Spoilers: I'm not sure where this would fit in. After Faith has woken up...After the council comes to Sunnydale...Tara
isn't in here because I just can't seem to write her...Anyway, I guess you can try and fit it somewhere...or you can just read it for the fun.

Summery: There is a new slayer coming to town...again!

Claire arrived in Sunnydale just hours later. She arrived at the hotel where...well she didn't know his name, but
it's where she was supposed to go. Claire got to her room and set down her bags. She got out the list of names and phone
numbers for her to try. The first name on the list...Rupert Giles.

"Hello?" Rupert Giles said as he answered his phone.

"Mr. Giles?" Claire asked.

"This is he. Who is this?" Giles replied.

"My name is Claire. Maybe we should meet. I don't really want to tell you much more over the phone," Claire said.

"Uh...I-I suppose," Giles said, "somewhere public?"

"Fine with me," Claire said, "Where at?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Claire waited on the campus of UC Sunndale. She had gotten there early because she had nothing else to do. It was
almost time for her to meet with Giles anyway.

"Ms...uh...Claire?" Giles said walking up to Claire.

"Please, just Claire, Mr. Giles," Claire responded shaking Giles hand.

"Just Giles," Giles replied returning the handshake, "Would you like to sit down?" Claire and Giles sat down at
a nearby bench.

"So...uh...I guess I should tell you who I am," Claire said.

"Yes," Giles said, "that would be a good start."

"OK," Claire began, "I'm the...well, I should say a vampire slayer." Giles was speechless. He didn't know what to say.
He took off his glasses and began to clean them.

"OK," Claire said, "talking would be good now."

"What?" Giles said, "Oh, yes, uh."

"Do you think maybe I should meet the others?" Claire asked to get the ball rolling again.

"Yes, uh," Giles said, "let me take you back to my place."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Scooby gang had gathered at Giles' place. This was of course the original three plus Anya, Spike, and Dawn.
Everyone was staring at Claire.

"So," Buffy began, "that means that Faith must be..."

"Yes," Claire stated, "she is." No one talked for a little while.

"Well, why did they send you here?" Anya asked, "We already have Buffy."

"The council remembered that Buffy and Giles had a training facility here and thought I could work on my training
here," Claire replied.

"It's so far from your family though," Willow stated.

"I know," Claire said, "but my parents have known that I may be called someday, so they were kinda
prepared...still would have helped if I knew, but it's cool...I'll deal."

"Well, where are you going to stay?" Dawn asked.

"I've got a place...nice motel room...it's cheap," Claire replied.

"No way," Buffy said, "We will find a place for you to stay."

"It's OK, really."

"No, it's not OK."

"I have plenty of money."

"OK, well you should be able to spend that money on yourself."

"Fine, where should I stay then?"

"Well...uh..." Everyone stood around and thought for a moment.

"I got room at my place..." Everyone, including Claire, turned to look at...Spike...

"Huh?" Buffy replied.

"I mean, uh..." Spike tried to back step, "if no one else has any room. Plus, there's plenty of room if Giles
gives her homework or something."

"It's fine by me," Claire said.

"K, it's settled then," Spike said, "Let's go get your stuff, luv," Spike and Claire left leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Did I just miss something?" Xander chimed in.
