Chapter 6:
She's a Slayer?
"Spike they're up here," Buffy called to Spike before she entered the apartment by climbing through the open window.
"What are you guys doing here?" Buffy asked with a furious look on her face.
"Buffy thank God you're here," Dawn said as she jumped up to great her sister.
"What are you doing here?" Buffy asked again. "I was worried and I've been looking all over and how many times have I told you not to stay out after dark? This is worse than-"
"It's not my fault," Dawn interrupted, "Amy made us stay. We were running away from the mob that was after Amy and then we ran up here and we hid here but Ben had a gun and scared us and the he told us he was joking and he was and actor and Amy won't let us leave," she said and added a pout at the end of it.
Buffy found this as a perfect opportunity to yell at Amy. She turned around to yell at her when she saw whom he was, or more like what he was.
"Amy get away from him!" Buffy yelled.
"No, why should I get away from him? Are you jealous or something 'cause that's just too bad. He's mine!"
"No," Buffy said impatiently, "I don't want him," she said pulling the girl away from him, "he's a vampire!"
"No he's not! Why would you say something like that?"
"Because it's true, I'm sorry Amy. Look for yourself,"
Amy turned around to see the beautiful Ben vamped out, in full game face. It was obvious he was hungry as he began to walk towards them.
Tears began to stream down Amy's face, "I really thought he liked me. He was so nice."
"Whatever okay, just get over it," Buffy said in a harsh voice. "You ever staked a vampire before?"
Amy shook her head but just kept looking at Ben. She had really liked him and she thought they might have been able to get somewhere with him. She wanted to be in a serious relationship and this looked like the perfect opportunity. She was stuck here in Sunnydale and needed someone to talk to.
Buffy interrupted her thoughts, "There's no time like the present," she said handing Amy a stake. "I'll coach you through it." Buffy was surprised at the girl's reaction. She had known this guy for an hour or two at the most and she was acting like he was the love of her life. 'That girl is so full of herself, I mean get real!'
Amy took the stake from Buffy and she wiped the tears off her face. The minute she took hold of the stake it was like something else took over her. She could hear Buffy's voice telling her to approach the vampire but she felt like she knew what to do. She followed Buffy's command in an almost trance like state. The vampire tried to punch her and to both her and Buffy's surprise she ducked it with ease. She let her arms and legs take over as she punched the vampire and spun around and kicked him to the ground. The minute he got up he was dust. It had taken Amy less than 20 seconds to stake her first vampire.
Buffy looked at her amazed while Amy stared at her own hands in amazements.
"I don't know what happened," Amy said in a shaky voice, "it was as if something inside me knew what to do."
At this moment Spike appeared outside the window. "Did I miss anything good?" Then he noticed the look on everyone's face. "Who died?"
"The vampire," Buffy said quietly. She had been shocked by what Amy could do. None of the potentials could do that on their first try or even their twentieth try. It still took at least two of them working together to kill one vampire and they had been training for weeks. This girl with no training could do something that she couldn't even do when she had slayer abilities. It had taken her months to fight like that.
Spike not understanding what had happened looked confused, "So what's so bad about that? Don't we want the vampires dead?"
"It's not that, well Amy killed it," Dawn said. She had been just as surprised as Buffy.
"Wow! Amy killed her first vampire! I'm sure Buffy helped though, right?"
"No, I didn't help," Buffy said in a voice that they could barely hear. "She killed it in 20 seconds. She killed her first vampire in twenty seconds. I couldn't even do that when I had first gotten my Slayer abilities, and I had slayer strength."
"It was probably luck right?" Spike asked as he looked at all three of them. Amy hadn't said a word she was just standing there to stunned to say anything and Buffy and Dawn were just staring at her. "Well can we just go home and talk about this?"
Buffy nodded and they all followed her out the door.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Silence ensued throughout the walk to Buffy's house. Amy and Buffy had both turned a pale white, Dawn was confused and Spike was trying to figure out what happened.
"So what exactly is the problem?" Spike asked trying to break the silence.
"Problem?" Buffy asked.
"Well yeah, you guys look dead."
"You shouldn't be saying that Spike I mean look at you," Buffy answered in a sarcastic voice.
"You know what I mean!"
Buffy chuckled and kept walking.
"Okay someone has to say something," Spike said in an impatient voice. "I want to know what happened that's getting you guys all wigged out!"
"It's pretty simple actually, he punched she ducked, she punched and kicked and then he was dust," Dawn answered.
"I didn't mean that! I mean why are you guys acting like you saw a ghost?"
At this point Buff stopped, "You don't get it Spike do you?" she asked with anger in her voice, "Amy fought like a Slayer, I think she might be a Slayer and well this might not come as a shock to you that means there could be three Slayers that have been activated. I didn't die again and Faith's not dead.unless wait do you guys think that she might have died?"
"Umm Buffy how could she be dead? She's at home, remember?" Dawn replied.
"No I mean like maybe she died like I did the first time, just for like a minute or something."
"Don't you think she'd tell us if she had?" Spike pointed out.
Buffy disappointedly sighed; she had wanted this to be the answer. "Yea I guess you're right. Well I guess we have to just keep thinking," Buffy said as she opened the door to the house. ~!~!~!~!~!~
The whole time Amy walked in silence thinking about everything that had just happened. The first vampire she had killed was someone she had really liked and she might possibly be a Slayer. All of this was too much for the young girl to soak in. As she entered the house she just kept walking past Buffy and everyone. The others watched her and were shocked. It was as if she was in a trance. Amy walked to the back porch and sat down. A minute later she began to cry.
Spike and Buffy looked at each other when she began to cry and knew that one of them had to go talk to her. Buffy looked at Spike with pleading eyes but he shook his head. He knew that Buffy and Amy didn't like each other and they had to get over it. This was the perfect opportunity. Buffy sighed and slowly walked out to the porch.
"You okay?" Buffy asked as she sat down next to Amy.
"Why do you care?" Amy asked as she looked up.
"Well, you are a potential, or maybe even a Slayer so I guess I kind of have to care."
"Yea whatever if you say so."
"Don't go judging me! You don't even know me."
"I know you enough, you don't care about me. You hate me!"
"I don't hate you," Buffy sighed. "It's just that well I think your kind of full of yourself."
"Me? Oh so what happened to I'm holier and though Buffy cause I've died a couple of times?"
"What? When have I ever bragged about something like that? I wish I hadn't died, things would be so much different if I hadn't. Sometimes I wish Willow and them had just left me where I was."
"See there you go again, oh I need sympathy I died."
"I wouldn't be talking look at yourself. I'm famous so I need all the friggin attention it's all about me if you don't pay attention to me I'll die!"
"You think it's easy being famous or whatever? Sure I like it but I get like no privacy at all. There's always someone prying around in my life and everyone knows who I am. I can't just walk around and be a normal person."
"Well uhhh" Buffy faltered. She was at a loss for words she had never considered things from Amy's point of view.
Amy just sighed and looked at Buffy. "Look I'm really sorry but, well you just wouldn't understand."
"Yea I kind of do," Buffy answered, "I'm the Slayer and everyone always expects me to have the answers and to be in charge and sometimes I just want someone else to take over. I just want to sit down and watch other people do the work. It's not like your situation but I guess we both have it kind of harsh."
"Yeah I guess we do," Amy said as she turned around to look Buffy in the face. "You know we could probably be pretty good friends."
"Well I don't know about that," Buffy laughed.
"Come on," Amy laughed back.
"I guess we could be pretty good friends," Buffy said as she leaned over and hugged Amy. "Let's get back inside. We have to figure out where all your Slayer abilities are coming from."
Amy got up and walked inside with Buffy, both of them had smiles on their faces.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
"Guys we have a little problem I guess you could say," Buffy said as she addressed the Scooby gang. She had called together a meeting with Giles, Willow, Xander, Anya, Faith, Kennedy, Spike and Dawn insisted that since she was there that she should be present to.
"Yea," Dawn chipped in, "it involves Amy."
"Don't tell me your going to complain again Buffy," Willow sighed.
"No, it's nothing like that."
"Good cause I don't know how much more of Amy this and Amy that I would be able to take."
"I didn't complain that much!" Buffy protested. Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy. "Okay I might have complained a little but not that much. Okay, okay I get the point I complained a lot but that's not why I called you guys here. I think Amy might be a Slayer."
"A what?" Everyone said at the same time.
"Yeah," Dawn said again, "she was fighting a vamp and she like dusted it in 20 seconds and she was like a Slayer and everything, she was barely trying, she was almost as good as Buffy."
"Wait up B," Faith spoke up, "How could she be a Slayer unless one of us died?"
"Buffy did die," Anya added.
"Yeah but the world didn't know that and there was still Faith so Faith had to have died for something like this to happen. Dear God this is strange," Giles said as he cleaned his classes.
Buffy turned to Faith and took a deep breath before speaking. "Faith, did you die? At anytime do you think you could have died?"
Faith looked at Buffy as if she was crazy. "How could I have died and not known it? Don't you think I would have said something I mean I know what's going on with my own life!"
"I know Faith I'm sorry but I just had to make sure."
"Sorry B, I just got excited but I think ummm that you might actually be right about me dying."
"What?"
"Well when I was in jail I got sick for a while. I don't remember much but I remember that I spent like three weeks there and someone said something about me dying. I was confused and I wasn't listening to what everyone was telling me."
"Willow is there anyway that you can somehow you can get Faith's medical records so we can see if she did die."
"Sure, it shouldn't take me too long."
"Thanks. So lets just pretend that Faith did die and Amy is a Slayer why didn't she ever get a watcher appointed to her or anything like that?"
"Maybe her watcher couldn't find her or he or she was killed," Giles answered.
"Maybe but we can't be sure. Since we are acting like Amy is a Slayer we are going to have to train her like she is one."
"Can't she just train with the other potentials?" Xander asked.
"We could but think about it, she's stronger then them and she'll get better then them."
"Not at first," Spike spoke up, "I think you should train her with them first so she can learn the basics and then we can all personally train her."
"And who do you mean by all?" Buffy asked.
"Me, you, and Faith."
"Yea I guess we could do that," Buffy answered as she thought about it. "Yeah I like that idea. I'll go tell her what we're going to do."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Spike asked. "You alone in the same room as Amy?"
"Haha, very funny," Buffy retorted. "I won't hurt her. Besides we're cool now I guess you could say. I promise I won't kill her."
Spike and the rest of them looked at Buffy looked at her as if she was crazy but let her go.
"Do you think she'll hurt her?" Dawn asked after Buffy had left the room.
"Probably not," Spike responded. He really thought that Buffy and Amy had become friends and he was glad. All the complaining was getting on his nerves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Amy?" Buffy asked as she knocked on the door to Dawn's room. "Are you in there?" Buffy waited a minute before she knocked again. "Amy? Are you okay? It's Buffy, please open the door." Buffy began to get worried so she tried to open the door when she saw that it was locked. "Amy, open the door." When there was no response Buffy decided to kick in the door. "I'm coming in Amy!"
As Buffy kicked in the door a very surprised Amy jumped up from the desk she had been sitting in.
"What are you doing Buffy?" she screamed.
"Sorry, it's just that when you weren't answering I got worried."
"Oh, well I didn't hear you, I was listening to music," Amy answered as she motioned towards her headphones.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know I just worried."
"It's okay I was just remembering the lyrics to some of my older songs. I write them down, I know it's weird but sometimes it just makes me feel a little bit better."
Buffy just nodded. "What are you listening to?"
Amy giggled nervously, "You're probably going to think I'm obsessed with myself but I'm listening to my own CD. I actually borrowed it from Dawn. I forgot to bring my own CD's and well that was the only interesting thing she had and I really needed to listen to some music. I have to listen to it though, it helps me get ready for concerts."
"Where's your next concert anyway?" Buffy asked her.
"In LA, it's next week."
"L.A.? That's interesting. You could probably go to that concert if you want. It's only about two hours away and it shouldn't be too hard to drive there."
"Really? Oh that would be so cool. I need to call Ben, can I borrow your phone?"
"Wait up, before you call Ben I'm going to go over our plan for you."
"Plan?"
"Yea for your training."
"Oh, that," Amy said quietly.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just that well I don't really want anyone to see me fighting. Not even Spike or anyone."
"You are a really good fighter! Did you see what you did when you staked that vamp?"
"Still," Amy's voice trailed off.
"Well that kills our plan. We were going to have you train with the other girls and then when you surpassed their level you could personally train with me, Spike, and Faith."
"Surpass? You think I'll do better then them?"
"You're a Slayer. I definitely think you'll do better then them."
"Do I have to train with the other girls? Could I please just train with you?"
"With me? Don't you want to train with Spike?" Buffy asked in a surprised voice.
"Spike's great and all but I just can't find myself fighting or training with him. I'd feel better training with you."
"I guess we could do that but you are eventually going to have to train with the other girls."
Amy nodded. She would take what she could get and now that she would be able to go to her LA concert she was slowly becoming happier with the way things were.
"Let's go tell the everyone what the deal is," Buffy said as she started to walk out of the room. Amy slowly followed her with a smile playing on her lips. Things were starting to get better.
*~*~*~*
"Ow!" Amy yelled as she fell to the ground.
"Sorry," Buffy replied as she helped Amy up. "You have to learn to block my hits. You have to duck when I try to punch you, like this."
Buffy slowly pretended to punch Amy and Amy easily ducked it. With each punch Buffy slowly began to make the punch more like a real one. Finally Buffy put all her force in it expecting Amy to block it but it landed right on Amy's left cheek.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Amy yelled out as tears began to stream down her face.
"Damn, I thought you would have ducked that. Come on, sit down and I'll go get you some ice."
Amy sat down on the cot in the basement as Buffy headed up the stairs to get some ice from the kitchen. This was their first day training and Amy already had ten bruises. She couldn't get the whole blocking and ducking thing right and every time she tried to punch Buffy, Buffy would easily duck it or counter it with another punch that would usually send Amy flying to the ground.
"Here's some ice," Buffy said as she handed Amy an ice pack.
"Thanks," Amy said as she put it on her eye. "I'm going to have a black eye."
"No you're not," Buffy answered. Amy looked up at her with a questioning look in the eye that wasn't covered by the ice pack. "Slayer healing. Slayers heal way faster than normal people, you're eye should be fine in about an hour. Same with your other bruises. There's probably going to be a mark for a while but the major stuff will be gone."
"That's pretty cool," Amy answered. "Can we just not train on the day of my concert? Or the day before I don't want to be all bruised up."
"Sure," Buffy said, "but only if I get to come to your concert."
"Do you even have to ask? All you can come. You can probably be in the pit."
"I think everyone else will appreciate being in the crowd but I could I just stand backstage and watch you guys from the side?"
"Yeah, sure I guess you can. Why don't you want to stand in the crowd though?"
"I don't know I guess it just think it might be a little weird considering I know you and everything."
Amy just nodded and got up from the cot. "Okay I can do this, give me your best shot."
Buffy just turned around and tried to punch Amy in the stomach. For the first time the new Slayer blocked the punch. She began to cheer and let her guard down. Buffy turned around and punched in the face again.

What did you think? This chapter was longer then the other ones. I decided to make it so long cause I didn't update when I said I would. I'm really sorry about that but I'd just like to say I hate school and I hate homework even more then that. I would keep going with this chapter if didn't have homework to do. I hope you enjoyed it. Please tell me what you think, should I have not made Buffy and Amy friends this soon? I've got something planned for them though and they needed to have been friends for a while so I made them friends this chapter. This story might only last until chapter 10 unless people tell me to keep going. I was thinking of making this a series. Like I'd make the next one with some actress. I was thinking of Jennifer Garner cause she plays in Alias and she would have like some kind of experience fighting but she's to old. Can you please tell me your suggestions? And no I don't think the music video Going Under is on TV yet. And I so want to see the VMA's Superstars Diary but I missed it. If anyone knows when it will be showing again please let me know. I've been looking on TVGUIDE.COM but it says they aren't showing it. I think I'll shut up now so you can go read other stories.

She's a Slayer?
"Spike they're up here," Buffy called to Spike before she entered the apartment by climbing through the open window.
"What are you guys doing here?" Buffy asked with a furious look on her face.
"Buffy thank God you're here," Dawn said as she jumped up to great her sister.

"Well yeah, you guys look dead."

"Umm Buffy how could she be dead? She's at home, remember?" Dawn replied.
"No I mean like maybe she died like I did the first time, just for like a minute or something."
"Don't you think she'd tell us if she had?" Spike pointed out.
Buffy disappointedly sighed; she had wanted this to be the answer. "Yea I guess you're right. Well I guess we have to just keep thinking," Buffy said as she opened the door to the house. ~!~!~!~!~!~

I just want to sit down and watch other people do the work. It's not like your situation but I guess we both have it kind of harsh."
"Yeah I guess we do," Amy said as she turned around to look Buffy in the face. "You know we could probably be pretty good friends."
"Well I don't know about that," Buffy laughed.
"Come on," Amy laughed back.
"I guess we could be pretty good friends," Buffy said as she leaned over and hugged Amy. "Let's get back inside. We have to figure out where all your Slayer abilities are coming from."
Amy got up and walked inside with Buffy, both of them had smiles on their faces.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
"Guys we have a little problem I guess you could say," Buffy said as she addressed the Scooby gang. She had called together a meeting with Giles, Willow, Xander, Anya, Faith, Kennedy, Spike and Dawn insisted that since she was there that she should be present to.
"Yea," Dawn chipped in, "it involves Amy."
"Don't tell me your going to complain again Buffy," Willow sighed.
"No, it's nothing like that."
"Good cause I don't know how much more of Amy this and Amy that I would be able to take."
"I didn't complain that much!" Buffy protested. Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy. "Okay I might have complained a little but not that much. Okay, okay I get the point I complained a lot but that's not why I called you guys here. I think Amy might be a Slayer."
"A what?" Everyone said at the same time.
"Yeah," Dawn said again, "she was fighting a vamp and she like dusted it in 20 seconds and she was like a Slayer and everything, she was barely trying, she was almost as good as Buffy."
"Wait up B," Faith spoke up, "How could she be a Slayer unless one of us died?"
"Buffy did die," Anya added.
"Yeah but the world didn't know that and there was still Faith so Faith had to have died for something like this to happen. Dear God this is strange," Giles said as he cleaned his classes.

"Maybe but we can't be sure. Since we are acting like Amy is a Slayer we are going to have to train her like she is one."
"Can't she just train with the other potentials?" Xander asked.
"We could but think about it, she's stronger then them and she'll get better then them."
"Not at first," Spike spoke up, "I think you should train her with them first so she can learn the basics and then we can all personally train her."
"And who do you mean by all?" Buffy asked.
"Me, you, and Faith."
"Yea I guess we could do that," Buffy answered as she thought about it. "Yeah I like that idea. I'll go tell her what we're going to do."
"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Spike asked. "You alone in the same room as Amy?"
"Haha, very funny," Buffy retorted. "I won't hurt her. Besides we're cool now I guess you could say. I promise I won't kill her."
Spike and the rest of them looked at Buffy looked at her as if she was crazy but let her go.
"Do you think she'll hurt her?" Dawn asked after Buffy had left the room.
"Probably not," Spike responded. He really thought that Buffy and Amy had become friends and he was glad. All the complaining was getting on his nerves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Amy?" Buffy asked as she knocked on the door to Dawn's room. "Are you in there?" Buffy waited a minute before she knocked again. "Amy? Are you okay? It's Buffy, please open the door." Buffy began to get worried so she tried to open the door when she saw that it was locked. "Amy, open the door." When there was no response Buffy decided to kick in the door. "I'm coming in Amy!"
As Buffy kicked in the door a very surprised Amy jumped up from the desk she had been sitting in.
"What are you doing Buffy?" she screamed.
"Sorry, it's just that when you weren't answering I got worried."
"Oh, well I didn't hear you, I was listening to music," Amy answered as she motioned towards her headphones.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't know I just worried."
"It's okay I was just remembering the lyrics to some of my older songs. I write them down, I know it's weird but sometimes it just makes me feel a little bit better."
Buffy just nodded. "What are you listening to?"
Amy giggled nervously, "You're probably going to think I'm obsessed with myself but I'm listening to my own CD. I actually borrowed it from Dawn. I forgot to bring my own CD's and well that was the only interesting thing she had and I really needed to listen to some music. I have to listen to it though, it helps me get ready for concerts."
"Where's your next concert anyway?" Buffy asked her.
"In LA, it's next week."
"L.A.? That's interesting. You could probably go to that concert if you want. It's only about two hours away and it shouldn't be too hard to drive there."
"Really? Oh that would be so cool. I need to call Ben, can I borrow your phone?"
"Wait up, before you call Ben I'm going to go over our plan for you."
"Plan?"
"Yea for your training."
"Oh, that," Amy said quietly.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just that well I don't really want anyone to see me fighting. Not even Spike or anyone."
"You are a really good fighter! Did you see what you did when you staked that vamp?"
"Still," Amy's voice trailed off.
"Well that kills our plan. We were going to have you train with the other girls and then when you surpassed their level you could personally train with me, Spike, and Faith."
"Surpass? You think I'll do better then them?"
"You're a Slayer. I definitely think you'll do better then them."
"Do I have to train with the other girls? Could I please just train with you?"
"With me? Don't you want to train with Spike?" Buffy asked in a surprised voice.
"Spike's great and all but I just can't find myself fighting or training with him. I'd feel better training with you."
"I guess we could do that but you are eventually going to have to train with the other girls."
Amy nodded. She would take what she could get and now that she would be able to go to her LA concert she was slowly becoming happier with the way things were.
"Let's go tell the everyone what the deal is," Buffy said as she started to walk out of the room. Amy slowly followed her with a smile playing on her lips. Things were starting to get better.
*~*~*~*
"Ow!" Amy yelled as she fell to the ground.
"Sorry," Buffy replied as she helped Amy up. "You have to learn to block my hits. You have to duck when I try to punch you, like this."
Buffy slowly pretended to punch Amy and Amy easily ducked it. With each punch Buffy slowly began to make the punch more like a real one. Finally Buffy put all her force in it expecting Amy to block it but it landed right on Amy's left cheek.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Amy yelled out as tears began to stream down her face.
"Damn, I thought you would have ducked that. Come on, sit down and I'll go get you some ice."
Amy sat down on the cot in the basement as Buffy headed up the stairs to get some ice from the kitchen. This was their first day training and Amy already had ten bruises. She couldn't get the whole blocking and ducking thing right and every time she tried to punch Buffy, Buffy would easily duck it or counter it with another punch that would usually send Amy flying to the ground.
"Here's some ice," Buffy said as she handed Amy an ice pack.
"Thanks," Amy said as she put it on her eye. "I'm going to have a black eye."
"No you're not," Buffy answered. Amy looked up at her with a questioning look in the eye that wasn't covered by the ice pack. "Slayer healing. Slayers heal way faster than normal people, you're eye should be fine in about an hour. Same with your other bruises. There's probably going to be a mark for a while but the major stuff will be gone."
"That's pretty cool," Amy answered. "Can we just not train on the day of my concert? Or the day before I don't want to be all bruised up."
"Sure," Buffy said, "but only if I get to come to your concert."
"Do you even have to ask? All you can come. You can probably be in the pit."
"I think everyone else will appreciate being in the crowd but I could I just stand backstage and watch you guys from the side?"
"Yeah, sure I guess you can. Why don't you want to stand in the crowd though?"
"I don't know I guess it just think it might be a little weird considering I know you and everything."
Amy just nodded and got up from the cot. "Okay I can do this, give me your best shot."
Buffy just turned around and tried to punch Amy in the stomach. For the first time the new Slayer blocked the punch. She began to cheer and let her guard down. Buffy turned around and punched in the face again.

What did you think? This chapter was longer then the other ones. I decided to make it so long cause I didn't update when I said I would. I'm really sorry about that but I'd just like to say I hate school and I hate homework even more then that. I would keep going with this chapter if didn't have homework to do. I hope you enjoyed it. Please tell me what you think, should I have not made Buffy and Amy friends this soon? I've got something planned for them though and they needed to have been friends for a while so I made them friends this chapter. This story might only last until chapter 10 unless people tell me to keep going. I was thinking of making this a series. Like I'd make the next one with some actress. I was thinking of Jennifer Garner cause she plays in Alias and she would have like some kind of experience fighting but she's to old. Can you please tell me your suggestions? And no I don't think the music video Going Under is on TV yet. And I so want to see the VMA's Superstars Diary but I missed it. If anyone knows when it will be showing again please let me know. I've been looking on TVGUIDE.COM but it says they aren't showing it. I think I'll shut up now so you can go read other stories.
