DISCLAIMER- THE CHARACTERS OF BUFFY, WILLOW, XANDER, GILES, FAITH AND DAWN DO NOT BELONG TO ME. NO MONEY IS BEING MADE OFF THIS STORY.



"I now pronounce Sunnydale, California to be reopened today at 4 p.m." The man behind the podem belted. "You know did you think this place was going to stay a big hole in the ground forever?" asked Xander. "I thought that would be the case but how do you think they rebuilt this place? I didn't even think it was possible." Buffy mumbled. "I wouldn't know. All I got was a letter from Willow that said to come to Sunnydale." Buffy looked over at Xander. "I thought it was some prank. I called Willow and asked her if she sent this letter. She said yes." Buffy looked at Xanders strangely. "Are you ready for this?" asked Xander.

"Buffy! Buffy wake up! You have to drive me to school. I'm gonna be late!" Buffy woke up from the strange dream to Dawn shouting.

"Dawn it's Saturday! No school. Let me sleep."

"Buffy it's Wenesday. Wake up. Yesterday you thought it was Friday. Haven't you got any sleep? Why are you so tired lately?" asked Dawn. Buffy yawned and turned over. "I'm sorry Dawn. Did you make breakfast?" she asked with sleep in her voice. "Buffy. We haven't had breakfast since we moved here. Which to tell you was a month ago. But I guess it's better than livining with Xander and his parents in Nevada." Buffy chuckled. "Yeah that dog fell in love with you." Dawn frowned at Buffy. "He didn't fall in love with me. He fell in love with my wardrobe. I'm tellin ya my clothes smelled like pee until we got here." she laughed. "Except for your shirt. I don't think your gettin that back soon."

Dawn sighed and headed for the door. "Yeah and Buffy, today IS Saturday and your driving me to the food store!" Dawn laughed as she walked down the stairs. Buffy didn't find it very amusing. "Oh Buffy, look as this. Sunnydale was rebulit and it's being reopened today at four. I'm gonna go get the mail." Buffy felt a cold chill down her spine. "Buffy! We got a letter from Willow. She wants us to fly back to Sunnydale today!" Dawn got super excited. Buffy just frowned. "Dawn, we don't have money for that." Dawn just smiled. "Don't worry. Willow sent the money. Apparently her dad's a millonare now. Well let's get a move on and pack up your stuff."

END PART ONE.
