A/N: I own the idea, that's about it. The character Zoe is dedicated to my
new baby cousin, although she will probably never read this! Also, the
first couple of chapters are gonna be quite short cos they're just
background fillers. I'll soon get on to the actual story.
Summary: It's 14 yrs in the future and the Scoobies have drifted apart. PLEASE R&R!!!
Ch.1
"What would you do if your son was at home,
crying alone, on the bathroom floor,
'cos he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
is to sleep with a amn for a little bit of money…"
"Will you PLEASE turn that music down!" Tara shouted over the din.
"'Cos his daddy's gone…" *click*
"I didn't say you had to turn it off."
"You might as well have. I'm not allowed to choose anything for myself. Not even my own future."
"Come on Josh. We've talked about this. Your father is a watcher, and you will be too. There isn't really much we can do about it."
"Yeah, my dad's a watcher. Look where that got him. Almost killed for one thing."
"Josh, you know that when your time comes to be a watcher, they will have updated the training system. You won't be vulnerable."
He looked at her coldy.
"You think that's what I care about? You think that I'm making a fuss because I'm afraid for my safety? You should know better than that."
Tara sighed. Where had she heard that before? With Buffy. Funny how someone who cared so much about others could have done what she did.
"Hi honey."
Giles slowly came into view. He was aged. A scar on the left side of his face, from his ear to his mouth. His hair was shorter, almost skinhead.
And he was in a wheelchair.
