"Hey Dawn! Wait up!"
Dawn stopped and turned around to face a burette haired girl running up
to her, Dawn broke into a smile, "Hey Cloey".
They continued walking down the crowded hallway, Cloey, as usual, was
filling Dawn in on the latest gossip.
".....and she had the NEVRE to show up at his party WITH might I add a new
beau on her arm," Cloey continued assuming Dawn was focusing all her
attention to her.
However, Dawn's attention was on a raven haired girl who was being
bothered by a teacher. They stopped at Cloey's locker, Dawn didn't take
her focus off the girl, and Cloey jabbered on while opening her locker.
The girl was about as tall as Dawn was, wearing loose jeans and a black
tank top, she sported an eyebrow piercing and she looked as if she hadn't
slept in ages. She wore dark makeup to cover the bags under her eyes, and
looked as if she hadn't smiled in all her life.
The girl gave Dawn a quick glance and shifted so that her back was toward
Dawn now. It wasn't until then that Dawn had realized that Cloey had
stopped talking and was now staring at her. Dawn gave a smile and
shrugged, "What"?
Cloey looked at the girl that had Dawn's attention, "What is it about
losers that fascinates you so much"?
"Don't be so quick to judge," Dawn said defensively, "I was just
wondering who she was, I've never seen her before".
"Well, by the looks of it, she's nothing special. At least nobody WE need
to associate with," Cloey grabbed Dawn by the arm and dragged her off.
"Giles! I have looked through and through this Internet base and have
found nada, zilch, nothing," Buffy whined.
"No no, that can't be right," Giles shifted threw some papers as Buffy
slammed on the keys on the keyboard.
Giles turned and looked toward Buffy's direction, "Buffy".
"What?" Buffy growled turning toward him.
"That'll do," Giles turned back toward the desk.
Buffy slouched back in her chair, "What is the big deal? We've located
hundreds of slayers, and besides not everyone has access to the internet.
What if one of the girls is from a 3rd world country"?
"Point taken, but there were thousands of potentials being tracked from
this database alone," Giles took off his glasses and began chewing on the
tip.
"So what are you saying? There is evil afoot?" Buffy sighed
apathetically, while dealing with a hangnail.
"That is precisely what I'm saying," Giles said gazing into space.
Buffy rolled her eyes, "There's always evil afoot".
Giles looked toward her direction, "Well, like it or not, it's your job".
Buffy glared at him, "No, it WAS my job Giles. I killed the Giant Bad of
all Big Bads. I think that deserves retirement," she snarled. She went
back to filing her nails as if the conversation was closed for
discussion.
"It doesn't work that way Buffy, you know better," Giles began, "you
have a duty to uphold until these girls are ready".
Buffy sprang from her seat, "Get it through your head Giles! I'm DONE. I
will help out with research, but I'm done with the fighting".
"Buffy, don't you think that is rather selfish? These girls just aren't
ready".
"Well, it comes with becoming the slayer. Nobody asked if I was ready".
Giles stood and placed his glasses back on his face, "The situation is
different, we are at an advantage, but we still need you with the present
situation. We need to find what caused the awakening to stop and find
those girls, the sooner we know if they want the duty the better".
"Woah, if they WANT the duty?!" Buffy yelled. "Since when was there a
choice"?
"Since we've had enough to create a small army, but if not enough want
the job then we might be in need of your services for some time until we
can find a solution," Giles turned back around to sit down.
Buffy started to storm toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Giles sounded startled.
"I'm going to find those slayers and drag their duty filled butts back
here".
"And what if they don't"?
Buffy looked Giles dead in the eye, "Giles, they don't have a choice. I
didn't".
