*Author's Note*: Sorry this is short . . .but it was the best place to pause the story and make a chapter mark. There will be much longer chapters in the future.

All normal Disclaimers apply here. Don't own Buffy or any characters associated with that show. That's Joss Whedon's territory.

Chapter 1: Hello my name is Buffy . . .

Now into her sophomore year of high school and for some reason Amara was still friends with Willow and Xander. It's strange since they hadn't really talked much at all before entering high school, but as Willow told Amara soon after that first day of school her and Xander had decided that they were going to try and make more friends then they had in middle school. Of course they hadn't been too successful, maybe they had ended with Amara? At any rate they did become quite close friends for her.

Cordelia stood up in front of the English class and started reading out a poem that she had written for class, it was truly horrible but no one seemed to care much being that most of the men were concentrating on what Cordelia was wearing. And while the girls weren't staring at what she was wearing, except maybe to add it to a list of garments they wanted to buy, they weren't about to ruin their high school careers by insulting Cordelia. When she finished and sat down, everyone clapped and told her how wonderful it had been, excepting of course the few people in the room who truly didn't care. Namely Amara, Willow and Xander.

That dream . . . As was usual when the classes became too boring and nothing interested her, Amara started to reminisce about that dream she had had little over a year ago. It was unusual even more because still after so long she could remember every single detail of it, the people's names, lives, events, faces, situations even the places that things occurred at it.

Glancing at Cordelia, Amara narrowed her eyes at her glowing from all the compliments that she received. It was a little annoying for her to think that Cordelia had been in her dreams that she had somehow managed to taint even her dreams. She caught a look from Xander across the room and laughed quietly at his impression of Cordelia preening. The subject of their mocking turned to look at them scathingly, before turning back to the praises she was receiving from her flock of sheep.

I wonder what he would think about the idea that in my dream him and Cordelia dated for quite a while. That one image in her head made her sure that the dream was complete fantasy, even more so then the fact that a large portion of the dream had been about demons and vampires. Of course it hadn't worked out even in the dream, not surprising with their different personalities . . . Meeting Willow and Xander she had always assumed that they would become a couple. It had almost seemed a certain due to their long-standing history as friends, but the dream nagged at that idea.

It was then that the class was interrupted, as was Amara's thought process. One of the secretary's from the main office was coming into the room leading a girl behind her and that's when Amara got one of the first major shocks of her life, connected to the dream anyway. The entire dream replayed itself in front of her eyes before ending on one single image of the lead character in that dream.

"Students." Their English teacher started. "We have a new student . . . Buffy Summers." He then turned to the girl and pointed at a seat next to Cordelia and told her to take a seat.

Amara was well aware that she was staring a little strongly at the new girl and broke her look away and stared down at her desk, memorizing the lines and pencils marks that bored students had left before. The shock was too great to look up because she would have to see that new girl, and that wasn't something she could handle well at the moment.

The dream . . . The dream . . . she was in my dream . . .

Before the dream had been just that a dream, she had known Cordelia, Willow and Xander before so them appearing in the dream hadn't been unusual. As for everyone else there, she had never met them so they didn't exist to her, they had been figments of her imagination. Now though all of that changed, the main character in the dream suddenly had appeared, she wasn't a figment of anyone's imagination any longer and Amara instinctively knew that with her coming, all the other characters in her dream would soon show up.
