PLEASE READ AND REVIEW.

Buffy was in the middle of telling her mother about Logan and Remy when the phone rang. Both Buffy and her Mom wandered who would be calling so late. Joyce picked up the phone answering it with caution. Buffy watched her mother talk for seconds before hanging up the phone.

"Who was on the phone?"

"I can't believe it. That was Principal Snyder. He wants to see us at the school first thing tomorrow morning. Says he wants to get you enrolled for the school year. He sounded almost pleasant."

Buffy sat there letting her mother's words sink in. Now it all made since. She had spent three months with the X-men and had gotten to know them well. Buffy went over to the phone and dialed Giles's number.

"Hello?"

"Hey Giles! I know it's late but I had to call and tell you the good news. Principal Snyder called and wants me and mom to come into to get me re-enrolled for school."

"That's great Buffy, but how?"

"I'm not sure. Mom said that he actually sounded pleasant. By the way, did Logan and Remy make it back to your place?"

"No they never came back here. Should we go out and look for them?"

"Nah. They probably met up with Scott and the others and headed to the hotel. Do you think you can get the gang to your house say about two?"

"I'll believe that can be arranged."

"Thanks Giles. I'll see you tomorrow at two." She hung up the phone and looked toward her mother. "Mom, did Uncle Corsair say where they were staying at tonight?"

"That hotel that located on the corner of Main and First. Why?"

"I think I'll try to find the number and give them a call. I'd like for them to be there when I talk to the gang tomorrow."

"Okay, but after that I think you should get up to bed. I want you to look rested for our talk with Principal Snyder."

"Sure Mom. I'll see you in the morning." Buffy gave her mother a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "I love you mom."

"I love you too. I'm really glad your home." With that her mother went upstairs to her room. Buffy found the number in the phone book and made her call.

Principal Snyder sat nervously in his office. He hadn't been able to go back to sleep too scared that his visitors might come back. He headed toward the school as soon as the sun had risen thinking it would be a safe spot. When he had opened the door to his office there was note on his desk. With a trembling hand he picked the note up. It simply read:

WE'RE WATCHING YOU!

There was a knock on the door and Snyder jumped spilling his coffee on his lap. He jumped up in pain as the coffee burned him in his crotch area.

"Come in!" He yelled as he began trying to soak up the coffee with a towel. "Mrs. Summers, Miss Summers, please have a seat. If you'll excuse me for just a minute. I've managed to spill my coffee."

Buffy and Joyce held back the laughter that was about to consume them. When they were sure Snyder was out of range they let out their laughter. After several minutes he returned.

"Miss Summers, I wanted to apologize for my atrocious behavior during that unfortunate incident that happened at the end of the school year. I hope that you will accept my apology and come back to school for your senior year."

Buffy and her mom were shocked at how friendly he was being. They could see that he was slightly skittish.

"That was nice Principal Snyder. She accepts." Joyce answered for her daughter. "Does Buffy need to take any kind to make up test for the time she missed?"

"No. Due to the tragic incident that happened we granted leniency. I have the paper work right here."

After her the meeting with Snyder, Joyce took her daughter shopping for school clothes and supplies. When they gotten everything she would need and had lunch Buffy went to the hotel that her family and friends were staying at. The hotel wasn't much. The walls were painted an off white color. The man at the service desk barely gave her glance. She took the steps up to the second floor. As soon she opened the door to the floor she knew exactly where Logan was. She walked past the two doors which were the rooms she knew Scott and the others were staying in. Going all the way to the end of the hall she went out another door that led to the fire escape. There he was wearing tight jeans and his black shirt that effectively showed his muscles. Buffy couldn't help but stare for a moment.

"Like what ya see darlin?"

Buffy realized that she had been caught staring. She shook her head to clear it and then began to blush furiously.

"You know that smoking that thing is bad for your health?"

"Not with my advance-healing factor. You didn't answer my question." He said in low voice that sent shiver down her spine.

"Yes. Who wouldn't? I owe you and the Cajun-you're rubbing off on me, thanks. I know you two had something to do with getting me back into school. Don't deny it. Snyder practically begged for me to come back. Thank you."

Buffy moved beside him and gave him a big hug. She stood up on her tiptoes and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

"You're welcome darlin."

"I'm on my way to talk to my friends. Scott and Alex are coming to help explain things. Will you come too?"

Logan looked down at the petite woman who had her arms around him. Just looking at her and he knew he could deny her nothing.

"Anything for you darlin."

Buffy was nervously clenching at Logan's hand. She was so close to turning around and leaving. Scott, Alex, and Remy had also gone with her. Suddenly she felt relaxed and calmer. She looked back at Remy who gave her a charming smile.

Thanks Remy.

You're welcome Chere.

"Let's go before I change my mind."

They approached the door and Buffy raised her hand to knock. She did and the door opened almost immediately. Giles answers but doesn't open the door all the way. Buffy spoke quietly.

"Are they all here?"

Giles nodded. Buffy took a deep breath letting go of Logan's hand. She nods to Giles to open the door. He opens the door to see the gang all looking her way.

"Hey everyone. I'm back."

"BUFFY?"

"When did you get back?" Xander asked.

"We missed you so much." Willow told her.

Xander and Willow ran up and hugged her. Both of them were talking at the same time. Oz and Cordelia stood off to the side.

"I've missed you both. I got back last night. Mom and I had a long talk and we're good."

"So where were you? Did you go to Belgium?" Xander asked.

"And who are your friends?" Cordelia asked looking the guys over.

"I'm sorry. I got caught up in the moment. Guys I like to introduce you to my cousins Scott and Alex from New York. They were nice enough to let me stay with them, which is where I met Logan and Remy Lebeau. This is Willow, Xander, Oz, and Cordelia. And you guys remember Giles?"

They all greeted each other. Scott and Giles went into the kitchen to get drinks and snacks for everyone.

"So what happened?" Cordeila asked bluntly.

"It's a long story."

"So leave out the heartwarming stuff about kindly old people and saving the farm and get right to the dirt."

"Get right to it huh Xand? All right. Giles told me you saw my video letter so you know why I left. After I left here I went to visit Scott and well he and the others helped me a lot, but I change quite a bit since I left. I thought I was going somewhere where I could start over and get as far away from being the Slayer as possible."

"Boy, were you wrong." Logan chuckled. Giles and Scott came out with the snacks.

"Don't I know it. In the past three months I've changed. There's no easy way to soften what I'm about to say. I'm a mutant."

She watched their faces. Xander had just taken a drink when he did a classic spit take. Buffy saw Remy, Logan, and Alex smirk a little. Willow and Xander were shocked, Cordeila looked bored, and Oz just barely raised an eyebrow.

"A mutant?" Willow asked.

"As in…?"

"I can now shoot lasers out my hands and eyes." Buffy watched as they took in what she had just said. Oz was the first one to break the silence.

"How?"

"Apparently I always was a mutant but my slayer magic somehow hid the X-gene. That's the long part of the story." Buffy looked to her friends that came with her. "You guys will help me tell it won't you? My memory of that incident is still a little hazy."

"Just tell what you remember Buffy. We'll help along the way." Scott said as they all took a seat.

Buffy began the story telling them what happened to her and Scott at the fair. Giles told his part and soon Scott and Alex were telling their part. By the time they all finished the group was showing mixed emotion.

"Oh Buffy." Willow cried going over to hug her best friend.

"I'm okay Willow. Really. I've accepted that I'm the Slayer and a mutant."

"You two mutants too?" Oz asked Logan and Remy.

Logan showed his claws and Remy lit a playing before them. Without having much power behind it, the card simple went poof.

"Cool." Oz said.

"So Buffster, when do we get to see this power in action?"

"I can't do much in here because I don't want to wreck Giles apartment."

"Thank you for that. If I have to turning anything else into my insurance my rates are going to sky rocket."

"What are you going to do about school? Snyder expelled you?" Cordelia asked with her usually tact.

"I'll be starting tomorrow with you guys. It seems Snyder had a change of heart when someone's claws met with his throat."

"Buffy that's great! I mean…the you getting back into school part." Willow said excitedly.

"Though the thought of Snyder being threatened is also of the good." Xander said.

"The little troll wet his bed he was so scared. You shouldn't have any trouble with him."

Wolverine said with a slight grin as the gang last at the fact Snyder wet his pants.

"Let us know if he gets out of line Logan and I would luv to pay him another visit." Gambit said with his charming smile.

NOTES: I was going to put the patrol and the first day of school in this part but I'll save it for the next Chapter. I hope you all liked this. That wasn't the best Logan/Buffy part. I'm working up to it though.
