Disclaimer: I own none of this other than the plot and a couple of characters that will appear later.

Summery: Buffy/ Roswell Crossover. Set after the series finale of both shows. Five months after Graduation Maria comes back to Roswell to be trained by Buffy as a slayer. Its now just after Maria's 25 birthday and the others come back. B/S, M/M, I/J, M/L, K/D

Authors note: They way I figure it its 7 years later the gang are 25 and Dawn is 22, Buffy is 27.

Crossing Destiny

Chapter 2 – Sisters in Slaying

Buffy grinned as she watched her Roswellian counterpart walk in to the alien themed diner. Dressed in incredibly revealing clothing and just oozing confidence Maria was the perfect example of what a slayer should be. She watched as the tall blonde 'slayer of vampires' -and any other piece of hell sludge that dare rear its ugly head to the world- pause at the entrance to the café doing what looked like a mental scan of the area then walked to the stool next to her.

"Could there be the narrow possibility that you are here for dinner and my designs", she paused then looked in to Buffy's eyes "But then again why would you travel from New York to look at my apt use of leather. Don't tell me, the world is ending†or my training is on again 'cause I'm crap at slaying".

Buffy laughed softly, her sister joining in to the sound. Smiling she hugged one of her favourite recruits.

"Actually I'm here for a break. And to deliver a gift from your friend Rouge", she handed Maria a small box rapped in shiny silver paper, "She says happy birthday".

Buffy watched as Maria lightly took off the paper and opened the small box to reveal a silver owl with blood rubies for eyes.

"It's 'the blood owl of Sharakia'"

"Yup, its eyes are made from the blood of the now extinct Sharakia demon. And it doesn't really do much but it's a great fashion accessory. Just make sure it doesn't bring fourth a dancing demon intent on making you his bride†but I'm sure it doesn't right Buffy", Dawn rambled whilst spooning chocolate covered ice cream in to her mouth. Buffy laughed.

"Guess it beats being a key to hell eh Dawnie" Maria asked?

"It would if his minions didn't look like they could win first place in a chucky-look-alike competition".

All three girls burst in to a fit of giggles as Faith and 'Principle' walked in followed by Willow and Zander.

"Why do they look serious"? Asked Buffy as they all took up a booth. The three stood and walked over to join them.

Faith sat at the end next to Maria. Causing Zander to laugh.

"You to are a pair that could set any horn dog off with your tight†black†leather†err" Faith gave a halfhearted giggle.

"So what's the stitch"?

"Well, sorry to ruin your peachy alien filled day but†the world going to end" Faith said nonclalantly.
