Summary: The new war forces Buffy to share her sixteen-year-old secret with a past lover.

Pairings: B/A, Max/Liz, a little Max/Tess. Review and tell me what other pairings to make

A/N: Sorry to all Spike fans but I couldn't fit him into this story. This story takes place eleven years after Chosen. Buffy and the Gang rebuild the Watcher's council and Angel does the whole Wolfram and Hart thing.

For Roswell, it is right after Liz finds out that Max and Tess slept together.

Holding back the tears as she throws random items of clothing in her travel bag, she whispers the words to the song that best describes her feelings,

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you, every step of the way

Choking up listening to the words of the song she continues,

And I will always love you
Will always love you

'Will I listen to myself? I still love him! Why would I leave the man I would do anything for?' she thought to herself.
You, my darling you
Bittersweet memories

'The first time I ever looked at Max, the day I lived again, our first kiss, our trip to Las Vegas, I was able to save his life because we had a connection, I don't know if I can handle leaving.'

That is all I am taking with me

Finished packing, she gazed around her room with regret and spotted the note she was giving to Maria, her best friend, where it was sure to be found. Maria, she hoped, would understand, Max who she doesn't believe loves her anymore, is already obviously fine with Tess, and her adoptive parents will have to deal because although she loved them, they would never understand her or who she was to become.

So goodbye, please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you need

Letting a tear escape, flowing down her cheek, she finishes the song of the person who took her heart and will always have it.

And I will always love you
Will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish to you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love

Climbing through her bedroom window and on to the balcony with more love scenes than Romeo and Juliet, she spoke the last words of the song that were the truest most sincere that had words ever poured out of he lips.

I will always love you, Max

Swinging the surprisingly light bag over her shoulder, she climbed down the balcony ladder leading to a new life, with a new Liz.

The new Watcher's Council of eleven years

"Oh dear," Giles face tightened while reading a prophecy book.

As a watcher herself now, Dawn sighs. She read the front of the book, it was that stupid prophesy book that always seemed to mess up one of their slayer's life. "Who is Prophesy girl this time?"

"It.um. appears to be the original," Giles looks wide-eyed searching for a reaction in his former charge's face.

She looks with an unreadable expression, knowing the original prophecy girl was referring to her, and asked Giles to read aloud the prophecy.

The never-ending slayer and prophesied vampire

will take their secret weapon of the past out of hiding

to defeat the war with the other-worldly creatures

With shock written all over her face, Buffy stands up and rushes to the door. Dawn hears her rant in a whisper, "I need to call Angel, he needs to know about her. I thought our baby would be safe in Roswell dammit." ________________________________________________________________________
Please review I need help with pairings besides the ones I already
mentioned! I also want to know if you like the story and if I should keep on writing.
