pstrongAN:/strong This is a bit of an AU. It has to be to exist in the Buffyverse, and the other verses. There are some differences, from all canons./p
p /p
p /p
pstrong01./strong There are different breeds of vampires. The Slayers are tasked with hunting down the ones who are a threat to humanity. The canon Buffyverse vamps are the only ones with a demon in control. They've all got a "kill-on-sight" order on them. The other breeds have no demon. Some have their souls, some don't. They are all judged on an individual case by case basis./p
pstrong02./strong Sophie's kind are a bit different in this universe./p
pstronga./strong Sophie, and others of her breed, can easily turn a human into one of their own kind. But... The human has to be -willing- for it to work correctly./p
pstrongb./strong Since they are not demon possessed, or soulless, the sunlight does not burn. It merely makes them weak when they are exposed to it. They are at their strongest at night. Other traditional vampiric weaknesses like mirrors, running water, etc. don't bother them./p
pstrongc./strong They are three times stronger, tougher, quicker, agile, etc. than a baseline human./p
pstrongd./strong While undead, they still -feel- alive. To themselves. And others./p
pstronge./strong They can eat, and drink, the same things humans can. They don't need too. But like the taste. Though they still need blood, and water. Blood nourishes them. Water hydrates them. Any food they eat is turned into pure energy that they can use for their vampiric magic. Any liquid has the water separated, and the rest turned into pure energy for magic use./p
pstrongf./strong They do not age. While this might seem like a -good- thing, it can be -bad-. See strongg/strong./p
pstrongg./strong No matter what age a person is, when they get turned into one of Sophie's kind their body changes to that of a thirteen year old girl. Yes, even guys. Yes, a girl. In the case of guys a mental "adjustment" is made so that they think "girl". And are perfectly comfortable in their new bodies too./p

pPrologue/p
p /p
p /p
pSophie and Akari were sitting on the couch in Sophie's house watching RWBY on Sophie's big screen plasma TV./p
pThey were sitting close together, and holding hands./p
p"Why doesn't Weiss just admit to herself that she's in love with Ruby?" asked Akari./p
p"It's her upbringing." states Sophie. "She is afraid to let anyone that close to her. The only one she does is her big sister, Winter. With examples of her mother, father, and brother... She's used to those close to her hurting her emotionally. She keeps others at a distance. If she doesn't get close, she can't get hurt."/p
pAkari looked devastated. "That's so... sad. And so lonely. ... Poor Weiss."/p
p"Yes." said Sophie with a look in her eye. "It is. Sad, and lonely. ... Poor Weiss indeed." She sighs. "I know all too well of such loneliness."/p
pShe's jolted out of her thoughts by Akari suddenly tackling her. And hugging her. Glomping onto her./p
p"AHHH!" she exclaims./p
p"You're not alone anymore!" explained Akari. "You have me now. And we'll be together forever."/p
pSophie looks at her, then smiles. Her cute fangs visible. "Yes, you're right my dearest Akari. We are together. Forever."/p
pAkari smiles at her, her cute fangs also visible as well. Slowly, she leans in./p
pSophie leans in as well./p
pTheir lips meet, and they kiss passionately./p
pThey stay like this for a little while, then Sophie breaks the kiss with a gasp. And looks to the front door, where she just heard something. She tenses up, ready for anything./p
p-SCENE BREAK-/p
pTwo people walked through the pouring rain. They were cold, wet, and miserable. And just wanted to get their business tonight over with./p
pThey stopped in front of a house. The house next door had the name "Forest" on it. One of the people looked at their cell phone, and the map there./p
p"Is this it sweetcheeks?" asked the guy./p
pThe girl checked her map, and said "Yeah. This is it. This is the house we were told about. And if you call me 'sweetcheeks' one more time I'm kicking your ass."/p
p"You know you want to do 'other things' with my ass." said the guy, while wiggling his eyebrows suggestively./p
pThe girl snarled. "Let's just get this over with. The sooner we're done, the sooner we can rest. And the sooner I can be rid of -you-."/p
p"Aw c'mon." said the guy while smiling. "You know you like me."/p
p"Grrrrr..." went the girl./p
pThe two walked up to the door and.../p
p-SCENE BREAK-/p
pSophie blinked in puzzlement as the doorbell rang./p
pAkari blinked too. "Were you expecting anyone?" she asked./p
pSophie shook her head. "No. Only the pizza boy. And he already dropped off the pizzas."/p
pAkari groaned. "I know. Don't remind me. ... ... I'm stuffed." she said, patting her belly./p
pSophie relaxed, and giggled. "I told you not to eat so much."/p
p"But, the pepperoni pizza tasted sooooo delicious!" exclaimed Akari./p
pSophie giggled again. The two stared fondly into each other's eyes, gazing into each other's souls. Well, not literally. That sorta thing only happens in the universe next door. The one with the P.I. wizard in Chicago. Or it's variants. Not this one./p
pThen the doorbell rang, breaking the romantic mood./p
pThey both groaned./p
p"I'd better go answer that." said Sophie./p
p"Want me to go with you?" asked Akari./p
p"No." said Sophie. "You stay here. The wards will keep out anyone with hostile intent."/p
pAkari just nodded./p
pSophie went to answer the annoying doorbell./p
p-SCENE BREAK-/p
p"Geez." complained the girl. "Really? How many times do I have to press this thing before we get an answer."/p
pSuddenly, the door opened. And a youg looking girl with white hair answered the door./p
p"That will be enough times." she said. "Do you have any idea how late it is? Who are you, and what do you want?"/p
p"Those last two are dangerous questions." said the guy. "Of course, we're not Shadows or Vorlons. So it's not so dangerous asking us."/p
pThe girl blinked, and then she smiled. "And here I am without my Ambassador Kosh T-Shirt.". She giggled./p
pThe guy smiled. "Cool. Someone who gets the reference."/p
pBuffy just groaned. "If you're through geeking out, remember we've got a job to do."/p
p"That's not all I'd like to do." the guy said while looking her up and down./p
pThe girl snarled, and said "In your dreams. And my nightmares."/p
p"Aw, you know you want me." said the guy while leering./p
p"Want you?" the girl asked in an incredulous voice. "I can't even -stand- you!"/p
p"Just part of my natural charm." said the guy smiling./p
p"Arrrggghhh!" went the girl./p
pThe girl glared at him./p
pHe smirked at her./p
pThen looked at her chest while smiling./p
pThe girl started to growl slightly./p
pThe white haired girl just looked between the two, and said "Ummm..."/p
pThe two jerked slightly, being reminded they were not alone./p
p"We'll settle this later." the girl hissed out./p
p"Oh, we can 'settle' things if you come to my room tonight. " the guy said happily./p
pThe girl growled./p
pComposing herself, the girl turned back to the white haired girl./p
p"Hello." she said. "Are you Sophie Twilight, perchance?"/p
pSophie regathered herself, and said "Yes. Who are you?"/p
pThe girl then said "I'm Buffy Summers. And this chauvinistic, self-righteous, condescending, horny, -asshole- is my... colleague." she said while hissing the last word. "Dean Winchester."/p
pDean just smirked at her a little more before composing himself. He then turned to look at Sophie, and smiled. "Nice to meet you."/p
pSophie smiled back. "It's nice to meet you as well. Both of you. Now, why are you here?"/p
pBuffy moved slightly, causing Sophie to look at her again. "We're with the New Watcher's Council. And we need your help in tracking down a couple of renegade members of your kind who want to open a breach between dimensions, and let back in the Old Ones. Will you help us to stop the end of the world?"/p
pSophie just looked at the two of them her eyes wide, blinked, and said "Oh my..."/p
