Chapter 3: Introducing...

Buffy sat at a table in the cafeteria. She chewed on a bite of her strawberry waffles as she flicked the lighter on and off. She held it close to her face for a second the flicked it on. She tilted her head to the side. 'Pretty' she thought and sat it down on the table next to her plate.

"Hey Buffy. Happy Birthday!" Willow said as she sat down in front of her. Willow had been there for about four years due to her high level of paranoia. They'd been friends ever since Buffy saved her from a gang of frogs by the pond out behind the mental institution.

"Hey Willow." Buffy herself was suffering from Napoleonic Complex and kleptomania. Actually quite the combination. "Where's Xander and Faith?"

Xander and Faith Harris were Buffy's other best friends. They'd come there a couple years after Buffy. They were twins and their mother had been on drugs during their birth. Xander had turned out to have mania and Faith had turned out to have simple depression. It was a little strange at times because Xander would be so chirpy and Faith would act so...well depressed.

"Um Faith is in her room. She said she wasn't hungry again. Last I heard, Xander was being attacked by Harmony. I would have helped him but um Harmony is a little scary." Willow suddenly gasped and added, "Buffy! You have to go save him! What if she-"

"Willow! I'm sure he's fine! But let's go kick her ass any ways." Buffy cut Willow of with a smirk. Harmony was a bitch. Buffy had known her for years. They used to go to preschool together before the...well before the death. Harmony had always been really snobby to everyone. It took a while but her parent had realized a couple months after Buffy got sent to St. Katherine's Mental Institution that Harmony had Megalomania.

Willow giggled but immediately sobered when she saw the lighter. "Buffy! Where'd you get that!?!? That can be used as a weapon! Weapons aren't allowed!"

"Relax Wils! I picked it up from Giles' son." Buffy said rolling her eyes as she took another bite of her waffles.

A look of surprise marred Willow's face as she replied, "Giles has a son?" Her eyes widened once again, "His son brought a weapon!?!?"

Buffy smiled and stood up. She placed the lighter into her pocket. She pushed her chair in and picked up her tray. Willow stood too, still babbling something about weapons. Buffy carried her tray to the kitchen her thoughts wondered back to Giles' son. William. Or was it Spike? That's what he said it was. Buffy got a tingly feeling in the pit of her stomach every time she thought about him.

"Hello Buffy. Did you enjoy your breakfast?" Tara asked kindly as she smiled at Buffy. Buffy smiled back as she handed Tara her tray. Tara Maclay was the chief there and a very good one at that. Buffy shuddered every time she thought of the last one. Buffy didn't think that her food was even edible. If it was it definitely didn't look, smell or taste like it.

"It was delicious. Thank you Tara." Buffy said as she grabbed Willows hand and tugged her out into the hallway. "Willow! Ok I understand that you have a thing against breaking the rules but GET OVER IT!"

Willow crossed her arms across her chest and pouted, "Well you didn't have to yell."

Buffy shook her head in disbelief. Willow never stopped amazing her. "C'mon Willow we'll be late for the 'Blank Room'."

The 'Blank Room' was a huge white room with al kinds of things to do. But if you didn't get there before nine thirty am than the place would be crowded. Buffy had a thing about making card houses. Willow was always telling her that it was dangerous. That she could get a paper cut or something. Buffy just ignored her though. She'd never give up the cards.

When willow and Buffy walked into the room they saw Xander arguing over the paints with Harmony. Buffy walked over to them and pushed Harmony. Harmony let go and glared at Buffy.

"You're so evil Fluffy!" Harmony screeched at her.

Buffy mocked a hurt and sniffled, "Oh I think I'm gonna cry. Big ol' Harmony called me evil."

Buffy ignored her reply as she walked over to a table in a corner. This was were Buffy usually sat to make her house of cards. Buffy sat down next to the boy that was already there.

"So... Angel or Angelus?" Buffy asked as she reached in to the basket for a couple of cards.

He looked up from the book he was reading and replied, "Angel."

Angel O'Conner had Dissociative Identity Disorder. They called his 'other self', the meaner him, Angelus.

Buffy nodded and started Building her house of card. Angel returned back to his book. Willow was braiding Faith's hair, who had been sitting by the window the whole time. Xander was painting some picture. He was actually pretty good at it. Harmony was yelling some kid, Jonathan. Everything was normal. For now...
