400 years later.
"Wow," Buffy Summers said as she peered into the mirror beside her bed. "I can't believe I'm starting 11th grade. And at a new school! I only wish Sky and Thais were here."
The fair-haired 17 year old glanced at the window, facing the direction of her old high school in L.A. Sky and Thais were her greatest friends. Her right-hand men- or women to be exact. Buffy could envision them at Dover High, starting the new year without her. What a shame.
"You truly thought we could do that to you?"
In the door burst Thais Katilla and Sky Monroe. The look on Buffy's face was indescribable. A mixture between astonishment and excitement twinkled in her eyes.
"Speak of the devil!" she cried. "I was just thinking about you two!"
Ever since Buffy scorched the gym at Dover High school and was forced to move to Sunnydale with her mom, she hadn't seen her two best friends.
"Our parents thought that whoever that arsonist was, wasn't safe to be around," Thais said hinting towards Buffy. "We had a long talk with our parents and asked them if Sunnydale was the place to be."
"And after much begging and my special puppy dog eyes, here we are!" Sky finished.
Sitting down on the bed, Buffy was filled in on all the little details of their story from the day they decided to move here to what earrings they were wearing on the journey.
"Oh, Buffy, there's only one problem," Thais said with an uncertain voice. "We don't have anything amazing to wear!"
The mood lightened and the three girls scrambled to get ready for school. After a breakfast of pancakes and a session of story swapping, everyone piled into the car for their first day of 11th grade.

While the trio sat in the back seat of the leather seated black jeep, Buffy looked intently at Thais and Sky. It had been so long since she'd seen them.
Thais still had the same shoulder length auburn hair as she did back in kindergarten, but there was something different about her. A mysterious glint flickered in her deep brown eyes and an extra flush in her cheeks told Buffy that her best friend that used to come over on Friday nights and bake cupcakes, had grown up into a strong-willed 17 year old.
With another glance, Sky was in Buffy's line of sight. A new hairstyle left only around seven inches of chestnut hair streaked with golden highlights on Sky's head. A quick smile took Buffy back to the times at the park in L.A. when they were six, playing in the sandbox. But she could see that both her best friends had grown up and so had she.
"Earth to Buffy," a soft sound whispered in the distance. "Buffster, you with us? Buffy? BUFFY!??! Thais clapped her hands, sending Buffy back to reality.
"Yeah, yeah. Im awake," she mumbled. All of a sudden she realized that they girls had made it to school.
Sky and Thais hopped out of the car and Buffy followed. This was the first day of the rest of their lives. Not one of them knew what was in store for them in next 7 years.

"Okay let's see. Locker?"
Check.
"Supplies?"
Check.
"Lunch money?"
Check.
"Map?" Thais giggled, remembering all the times Buffy got lost at their old school the first year.
Check.
"Book on Aristotle?"
"Crap. I don't have that! There's a library in this place right?
"Buffy," Sky said, "of course there is! But we don't have much time, so let's dash. Where's your map? Im not going to mosey around aimlessly till I find it, am I?"
With the map in hand, Sky led, followed by Thais and then Buffy. They trotted down what seemed like an everlasting hallway until they reached two doors leading into a room with wall-to-wall books.
"Lemme take a wild guess, this is the library."
"Ya know Sky, you can be really dumb sometimes." Thais said sarcastically.
Like a ghost, the librarian appeared from the shadows. His eyes lit up when he saw Sky and Thais, but even more so when he saw Buffy.
He remembered the two other girls from when he had observed Buffy at her High School in Los Angeles. They were the same free spirits as they were from before, but Buffy, Buffy had changed.
She wasn't the juvenile child that he remembered from the bushes where he spied on her almost a year ago. She had morphed from the little flaxen haired schoolgirl to a young lady of almost 18.
"You must be here for the book," he stated, bustling about. "Oh how rude of me," he said, forgetting his manners, "I'm Rupert Giles, the librarian."
He shuffled around the bookshelves through mountains of misplaced papers until his fingertips found the dusty cover of the ancient novel he was looking for.
The cover was made out of worn leather, frayed at the edges. There was a heavy lock on it and on the front in bold letters it said,
"Vampires?" Buffy gawked. "No, you see, I was looking for a book on Aristotle! This," she stuttered, "This is all about demons and, and things that don't exist!"
Buffy stumbled to a table and soaked it all in. She knew she was special, but she just wanted a normal life. But her head was flooding with questions. Why am I so strong? Why was I chosen for this job? Why me, why me, WHY ME??
"Buffy, this is your calling, your fate, your destiny. You can't hide it anymore." Thais tried her hardest to sound comforting, but it was difficult because she wasn't the one with all this new responsibility. She held the book set it down next to Buffy.
Sky on the other hand was not so good at sugar-coating the truth. She knew she didn't want to hurt her friend, but this was the only way to clearly get the message across. Sky took a deep breath and began her lecture.
"You're the Slayer Buffy! The SLAYER! This cozy town of Sunnydale is nestled on the Hell Mouth. You know all about it. The people here are in danger if you don't step up and take charge," Sky said.
"We're behind you 100%. Not literally, we'll battle by your side in times of peril, but you have to commit to your new profession," Giles finished and they awaited her decision.
Buffy still couldn't believe what she was hearing. It was the first day of school! They didn't even know this man, yet her two best friends were just jumping right on the band wagon. And why the hell does he care that she's the Slayer anyway?
*RING RING RING*
"Thank god," Buffy thought. "Saved by the 5 minute bell." She quickly stated that the girls didn't want to be late to class on their first day of school and made a bee-line for the library doors, but not before Buffy shot daggers out of her eyes at her companions. Sky and Thais quickly said goodbye to Giles and whispered that they would see him after school.
Once Thais and Sky were free of the library, they thanked god that looks couldn't kill.
