A/N: Well, here we are. The finale of finales. This is a simple prologue. Not really much of a story here. More of an information piece, and perhaps prelude to a sequel, though there's no for sure there. In any case, enjoy this.

I must note that, being a Canadian, I have no idea how laws are passed in the US. I believe it's related to the senate, but that might just be for federal laws. Apologies for any mistake I've made with regards to this.


Spoilers: There are a few spoilers for the actual series, most notably for 'Hell's Bells", "Seeing Red" and "Chosen", but shouldn't be anything too strong.


Disclaimer: I don't think Joss et al. is dumb enough to waste his time on some lowly creature having fun with his world that he so obviously messed up, so I'm not going to say anything to save me from that. However, because I respect the owners of the site, I'd just like to mention that I got some of my information for this story, and in the first chapter, from www.buffyworld.com/. Thank you guys for your wonderful transcripts, even if the fight descriptions suck! :)





I'm The Teacher, You're The Student

Chapter 6: Prologue

By: David Armstrong AKA Leafsdude






The meeting at Xander's was short, and went surprisingly well, as Xander was back to his old habits pretty
quickly, which once again made Buffy pretend to think she shouldn't have said anything. However, it really was
quite the opposite with her. She was glad that her friends were feeling lively again, and even more, she was
feeling ecstatic herself.

They decided they'd tell Giles about the last 2 days the next morning, as they felt there might be something
supernatural that could come out of it in the future. Despite almost losing it when they first gave him the
news, Giles quickly regained his composure as Buffy reassured him that she was fine, and told them that the
information probably wouldn't be needed for anything.





A few months later, Anya and Xander were to be married. However, Xander's jitters made them decide to
postpone it for another couple of weeks, surprisingly at Anya's wishes. As Xander was forced into agreeing
that he was doing the right thing by the 3 women he was closest to after Anya, they finally tied the knot
ironically on the day that Buffy died.

"I didn't plan it, I swear!" Was what Xander exclaimed when Buffy brought it up. Her smile and slight chuckle
caused Xander to relax, and the rest of the day was as joyful.

Even stranger was the fact that Willow and Tara somehow both caught the bouquet at the reception. "You guys
planned that," Willow decided, looking at Tara, who was wearing a look that appeared very innocent.

At this time, Tara and Willow's lessons were coming to a close, and both were much more confident with their
powers. As Willow slowly got back into the magic fold, she felt she had finally accomplished everything she
wanted to do in life. Well, all but one thing…





The minute the notion passed in the senate, Tara and Willow somehow did the same thing.

"Will you marry me?" They both announced, to a large chorus of laughter behind them. Of course, Buffy and
the others helped them both pick out rings as soon as the law was given consideration, knowing that the other was
doing the same, and were now rewarded with hoots of laughter coming from each one of them.

The next month, both became the first official married couple under the new laws, and obviously it went off
without a flaw.





As the anniversary of when Xander, Anya, Tara and Willow resurrected Buffy from the grave neared, Buffy
surprisingly announced that she wanted to mark the occasion with a large celebration.

Xander brought the dip, Anya the chips, while Tara and Willow supplied the decorations. Surprisingly,
the two ended up on opposite sides of the coin then the year before, with Tara assuring Willow that she
could use magic to do it, but Willow arguing that the new party shop across from the Magic Box would fair
well enough. They finally settled on getting balloons and confetti from the new store, and making the
posters and streamers with magic.





Not surprisingly, Anya found out she was pregnant after a couple months of marriage, and 9 months later,
they were all in the waiting room of the local hospital, with Xander pacing, Buffy grumbling about the bad
service from the nurses, and Willow and Tara just enjoying themselves, at least when they weren't laughing
at Buffy's grumblings.

Alexander Giles Harris Jr. was born at 9:36 PM on July 20th, 2004, a healthy 7lb, 6 Ounces.





The next few months went by rather quietly, but when the trio of nerds showed up, Buffy and co. quickly
found out they were charting new territory. "We've never delt with humans before," she explained one day.

After Jonathan and Andrew were arrested, and Warren took off with a jetpack, the group decided that they'd
done a good enough job, and spent the night partying in the newly renovated Bronze. By a strange twist of
luck, Xander, after falling on the dance floor and somehow ending up with his face planted on the far window,
he noticed Warren entering the gun shop across the street. Phoning the cops quickly, Warren was reprimanded
in a couple minutes, and charged with robbery without incident.





When the First attempted to rise, the information that Giles received from the group became useful, and they
found out that Buffy, being from a place that was considered so pure, was more of a match for the overconfident
being. As the bad guys were defeated again, Buffy stumbled across an axe that she found out could be used as a
magical tool, and brought up a proposal to Giles.

"Well, the universal law has always been 1 slayer. We've got two now, and this tool obviously holds a lot
of power, perhaps even the essence of the power we possess. Wouldn't it be possible to change the laws? With
it already being broken slightly, it wouldn't be difficult to change it completely, right?" Buffy ranted to
Giles, Willow and Tara. Surprisingly, it was Tara that revealed the legend that spoke of a day when the forces
of light would no longer rely on a single hero.

So, on the night of a full moon, which Tara said would make the chances of success even greater, Buffy
suddenly became one of millions, instead of the only one.





Not surprisingly, the next few years were extremely boring for the group, at least on the battlefield. Xander
Jr. was becoming a very strong willed individual, holding his parents charm, while gaining the wisdom of Giles
and Buffy, and strong mind from Willow and Tara.

On his 5th birthday, he was already learning from both women about magicks, at Xander's approval, of course,
and was showing extremely potent power for his young age.

It was during this time that Willow stumbled, literally, onto a book that housed a number of ancient conception
spells. Willow, intrigued, brought it home with her, and sat down that evening with Tara to look it over. Both
were extremely excited when they found a spell that they could use. Not able to decide who would carry the child,
they finally decided they would both do it.

9 months later, the pair were both in the emergency room giving birth to a pair of girls. As both babies were
born healthy, the new parents found themselves in uncharted territory. Surprisingly, it was Anya that helped them
get into their new role, and they soon found themselves gifted at taking care of the new bundles of joy.





Another 20 years went by, and then it stopped. Ironically, Buffy's unintentional babble from almost exactly 30
years previous came true.

Driving back from a large party, the group of 7 were killed instantly in a car crash, and Buffy, Dawn, Giles,
Xander, Anya, Willow and Tara found themselves all together, as Buffy predicted, in heaven.

Knowing their children would be happy, Xander and Anya and Willow and Tara all were able to rest peacefully,
while Buffy was finally happy while at peace. Giles somehow was still his nervous self, and the happy days of
eternity filled all of their hearts with joy.





The (Real) End!





A/N: Sorry if that end seems a little too sappy, but it just seemed like the perfect idea.

Again, I might make one or more of these ideas into a sequel later on, but it'll be a while before I decide on that for sure. For now, you'll have to settle with using your imagination with this one.

It's been a pleasure again, everyone. Happy reading!
