Chapter one - Intro.'s Summer Family
Buffy wasn't aware of anything. Nothing except she was warm and happy. She still had five minutes.
Five minutes before Hell broke loose....................................................
*****
(Five minutes later)
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP, BEEP BEEP BEEP BE.............THWACK" A hand came down on the snooze button.
"Oh God, tell me I'm having a dream" Looking around she could see the blurry shape of her sisters figure "tell me summers not over and we don't have to go back to school".
"Yes, this is all a dream Buffy" a voice in the distance answered sarcastically "We don't have to go back to school for another month, a new semester isn't starting and we have boyfriends..........well at least I do" replied the voice.
"Agghh" Buffy groaned with exasperation "I hate the first day back". With a deep yawn she pulled back the covers and climbed out of bed.
Gazing around the room squinting at the bright sunlight which entered through the window she looked over to where her sister was changing into a pair of jeans and a sweater. It was hard to find clothes that did not clash with the colour of her red hair.
No one really knew where she had inherited that from. Probably from some outcast relative from her father's side of the family that's what their mother used to say* she thought.
Buffy studied her sister the 'brain' of the family and the School she always got straight A's. And she had a boyfriend going on one year now. A guitarist named Oz!
It was funny, her sister was considered a geek in school by anyone and everyone who was considered popular and yet she still managed to catch a great boyfriend. Buffy it seemed couldn't manage to catch a cold. Not a decent one anyway.
*Not that Dad would approve of anyone* she thought. See Buffy was his favourite or that's how it seemed to the other siblings. There were five altogether, one boy and four girls.
Wesley, he was the eldest and was graduating College soon. Willow, the second eldest she's the brainy one. Buffy, Daddy's girl. Faith, who was often considered a flirt even though she is fifteen and thinks of herself as a bad ass. And last but not least Dawn, the baby of the family she's twelve.
But Buffy was definitely her dads favourite, his little girl a few months younger than Willow.
Buffy made her way over to the closet she shared with Willow. Pulling out a pair of worn jeans and a white shirt she placed them on Willows bed knowing that her sister wouldn't mind.
Willow turned from her position at the night table to see the clothes Buffy had laid out for herself. "Is that all your wearing?" she asked.
"Why what's wrong with it?" Buffy asked
"Nothing it's just...............nah, it's nothing"
"Willow what?" she asked again, slightly annoyed. She always knew she could count on her sisters opinion. You see they weren't just sisters but best friends too.
I'd just thought you'd be wearing something a little more dressy for the first day back"
"Your not" Buffy replied looking her sister up and down.
"Buffy" Willow replied turning round to face her "I have a boyfriend"
"And that means what?, you should let yourself go?" Willow just looked at her.
"I'm sorry Will, it's just I really hate the first day back"
"S'ok I understand" she said shyly "All I'm saying is, don't sell yourself short, you never know, you might meet somebody new, exciting someone like Oz" she commented.
Buffy sighed and looked down at her sister "yes it's a shame he's spoken for" she said sarcastically.
"Hey, don't go getting any ideas" Willow and Buffy both laughed.
"You trying out for the cheer leading squad again?" Willow asked
"Maybe" Buffy replied turning to sit on Willow's bed.
"What you mean, maybe? you always wanted to be a cheerleader".
"I know Will and I do it's just..............................it's complicated"
"Complicated as in......................Cordelia Chase?"
"She hates me Willow, I'll never get on the squad while she's still Captain"
"Cordelia hates everyone without a charge card" Willow told her sister trying to cheer her up "and yes you will make the squad" Buffy gave Willow a brief thank you smile.
As Willow got up off the stool she gave Buffy a hug, checked her hair in the mirror and with a "I'll see you down stairs" walked out the bedroom door.
*****
Twenty minutes later having washed and changed into better attire Buffy descended the stairs into her kitchen. Evidently she was the last to come down.
"Morning dear, how are you feeling this delightful morning? Eggs?"
Buffy turned to see her father Rupert Giles Summers behind the stove dressed in his finest tweed outfit and steel rimmed glasses.
Looking down she saw her dads cooking or should I say his efforts. You see her mother died a little over five years ago of cancer back when they lived in England. Her mother had been new to London, something of a tourist. Her mother and father met when her father was working in the British Museum. They sort of got chatting and he offered to show her around London. After awhile they became close and fell deeply in love with one another. Her mothers name was Jenny, Jenny Calendar and she had short dark beautiful hair. She knew her dad still thought about her. There were times when she'd caught him looking at their wedding photo or talking to her when he thinks he's alone. They moved to the US to get away and start anew but that didn't mean the pain went away.
"No thanks dad I'll get something at school" Buffy replied
"You sure?"
"Yeah" she proceeded to walk to the kitchen table and sit down next to Willow.
Faith looked up at her "Wow B your looking sharp today, meeting someone?"
"No but thanks, I'd thought I might make an effort you never know who you might meet" Buffy turned to Willow and gave her a smile.
Buffy was much more smartly dressed Willow thought wearing knee high boots, black mini skirt and a low cut white blouse all hidden over a long wool coat.
"I approve" Willow whispered to her sister earning another smile from Buffy.
"I think she looks like a tramp!" Dawn replied curtly
"Dawn" Giles said in a warning tone of voice
"What?" Dawn replied "it's not my fault if she has to dress like a ho to try and find a boyfriend" Willow looked over at Buffy who was about to get up from the table to change.
"Buffy sit down, you look fine" Willow pushed Buffy down in her seat
"Yeah B you look great" Faith cut in
"Great for a Hooker" Dawn said under her breath thinking no one would hear her comment.
"What was that young lady?" Dawn just stared at her father giving him a knowing look.
"Don't listen to her sweetheart you look great" he said trying to reassure her.
"Thanks Daddy"
"Thanks Daddy" Dawn said mimicking Buffy's tone of voice and earning another stern look off her father. Dawn was twelve years old and was going through a jealous phase. She loved getting attention. Good or bad she didn't care as long as she got it. And it was usually bad!
"Dawn, don't forget your getting a ride to school with Joyce and Ryan" her father told her to which Dawn replied "Joy".
"I could take her if you want Dad?" Said Wesley having been silent up until then.
"No no, it's all right Wes it's all been arranged" Giles replied
"I'm not a baby you know I can walk to school on my own I don't need a baby sitter. When are you gonna treat me like a grown up?" Dawn asked getting out of her chair and collecting her book bag.
"When you start acting like one and take some responsibility" Giles replied not showing any sign of anger. Dawn sat back down in her chair in a huff.
Wesley then proceeded to get up form the table and put his dish in the sink "Well I'm off" he said gathering his bag "Come on Dawnie I'll drop you round at Joyce's"
Dawn got back up from the table and walked straight out the door without saying goodbye followed by Wesley. Once the door closed Giles came over to the table to sit with his three remaining daughters.
"Don't forget girls I might be a little late home tonight there's a staff meeting" The girls nodded in acknowledgement.
Oh yeah and that's the other reason Buffy can't get a decent Boyfriend, her father is the Schools Principal.
*Great* Buffy thought.
*****
As the red BMW pulled up to the side of the curb Buffy's mood seemed to come down one more notch. *Another year in this place* she thought *I might go mad* The three teenage girls proceeded to exit the car and stand before the building staring up at the crumbling walls and the sign above the entrance 'SUNNYDALE HIGH'.
"Well.................are you ready girls?" Willow asked
