Her parents died in a boat accident and having no living relatives she was sent there. In London there is a family looking for a teenager to adopt, someone who could try to help their out of control son, Spike. Giles and Jenny meet Buffy and decide that she is perfect.

AN: Is my chappy really that short? Ha it always seems longer when your writing it. Maybe I should make my AN's shorter.ok I get the hint, bye.
Buffy woke up with a start, the sound of the alarm clock pierced into her brain.
"Phew, been a while since I had one of those," she murmured. She heard Willow whistling next door, 'ugh what is wrong with that girl?! How can she get up so early??' Buffy grumbled climbing out of bed. She still had her icky clothes on from before and they were sticking to her.
"EW!" She thought. 'Maybe I'll take a shower?' She made her way to the door in a very disoriented motion, stumbling and knocking things around. She swung open the door roughly and heard a howl of pain.
She stuck her head around the corner and saw Spike sitting holding his nose.
"Sorry! Uh bad timing?"
He gave her a look like she was insane.
"I uh yea sorry," she said and ducked back inside her room. Spike stood up still holding his nose, and pushed the door open.
"What's did you say your name was pet?"
"Oh um Buffy," she said blushing. 'Man this sucks, I start off by injuring him, good Buffy.' She thought.
"Right Bucky, well I suggest we put a tracking device on you that way we know when your in the area and aren't accustom to being hit," he said glaring. The thought that his parents had been so rude to adopt another child was unthinkable, but someone who was clumsy and doomed to be annoying, suicidal!
"Buffy," she said agitated.
He rolled his eyes, "Yea whatever."
Spike stalked out of her room most likely heading towards the kitchen where he could get some ice.
She sighed, and leaned against her doorframe. Clumsy. She knocked on her door, making dure no one was there, even if it was a stupid thing to do. No one was standing in front of it so she made her way out into the hall. She noticed Jenny making her way up the stairs.
"Oh, there you are Buffy, we're going to go out for breakfast soon with the Mintons, so could you please get ready," she said kindly.
"UH yea, um I was just wondering id I could take a shower? Do you have a shower?" She inquired.
"Oh of course, it's the eighth door down," She said guiding her finger down the hallway.
Buffy gulped and nodded. 'A house with eight doors! No wait.' She counted three more doors after that, 'Eleven doors, and that was just on the top floor!'
She made her way into the washroom and turned on the shower after moments of trying to figure out how to work it she slipped underneath the warm water. The soap smelt like peaches, unlike the sickening smell of the one at Brandytookes, there was a rumor that it was made of liverwurst. Steam quickly rose and she got out, feeling very refreshed.
~*~*~*~ Buffy drew her hair up into a high pony tail and wrapped it around into a tight, neat bun. She slid into her tidiest dress, a light blue one, that went down just pass her knee's and had lace on it, respectable.
She made her way down the vast staircase and tried to find her way to where the voices were coming from, one was Willow's but the other was too muffled to make out. She rounded a corner and saw 'Spike' and Willow sitting on stools at the kitchen counter talking. They looked up when they heard foot steps and she started to enter the room.
BAM!
She hit something, and fell to the floor. "What the?!" She grumbled sitting up and rubbing her forehead. It appeared to be some kind of glass door? She heard bouts of laughter coming from Spike and Willow rushed over to help her up, but did have a tiny smile on her face. Buffy could feel her cheeks burning with emabarrassment.
"So what luv? First you try to break my nose then you try to wreck our house?" He smirked. She frowned and walked into the kitchen, without any flaws this time. Willow sat down next to Spike and Buffy sat beside her. Spike was still chuckling and Buffy was biting back the urge to punch him in the face.
"Too bad I didn't throw open the door harder, then I could have given you what you deserved prior to.that," she retorted.
"Hey, look isn't that ur face print on the glass, better clean it off, isn't that the type of stuff you did at the orphanage?" Her face turned red and she stood up walked over to him and pulled out the stool from under him, ending with him landing in a satisfying thump.
"That's better," she smirked and flung her hair over her shoulder. He was up in a flash and grabbed her arm.
"Like playing violent do ya," he said.
"Ok, ok kiddies break it up," Willow ordered, putting on her stern face. Buffy snatched her arm back.
"What, I wasn't actually going to hurt her," Spike whined in a 'It was her fault.' Voice.
"Obviously," Buffy replied. Spike scoffed and rolled his eyes. Just then Rupert walked in.
"Good morning all, time to go," he said and left. Willow smoothed down her green corduroy dress and stood up. Spike looked like a sore thumb compared to the two girls dressed properly; he had on the same outfit as had last night, most likely slept in it, and so the teens mad their way out.
~*~*~*They car rattled along the road. They were to meet the Mintons there, a small chip and fish buffet place, was where they were headed. Buffy sat beside Spike clinging to the seat to avoid falling into him when they turned the corners. There wasn't very much talk, a few comments on the weather, but that was all. It was raining, yet again, out and hard to see out the windows.
"Sodding hell," Giles exclaimed slamming on the brakes. Buffy couldn't hang on any longer she went flying into Spike and Willow slammed into her.
"Ooh er, pardon me," Giles said taking off his glasses. The three were still in a jumble in the backseat., trying to clamber back up, but with little room it was nearly impossible. Willow was able to grab onto a armrest and slowly pull herself up. Buffy howver still had her head on Spike's lap.
"Ugh, little help here Wills," she moaned and Willow grabbed her arm, Spike put a hand on her shoulder and silently pushed her up, Buffy frowned. Why hadn't he made a cocky remark? Any why his lap so hard if he hated her? AN: Ok I'd write more, but I don't have time sorry, I hope you enjoyed it! Please review, also ok as u'll see in my profile I recommend a spuffy music vid called 'I touch myself.' There's a scene about thee quarters of the way through where Spike pushes apart Buffy's legs when she jumps at him and she wraps them around them, she's wearing a white top and black pants. WHAT EPISODE IS THAT FROM?! It's driving me insane not being able to know, if you do tell me in a review to end my insanity lol, thanks.
