Chapter Summary: Set on Fifth Season of BTVS. Riley

and Buffy had a 10 –year-old girl named April, and got

married shortly after.

"Okay class it's recess time." Mrs. Connelly called

out to the students. At that, every single fourth

grade student bolted for the door as if it were a race

to reach the playground.

"April, April wait for me!" April's friend Chloe

called out to her.

"What? I need to get to the swings before they are

all taken." April yelled out, but kept on running.

"Okay. Save me one okay?" Chloe asked.

April threw herself at the swing as though getting an

open one was a life and death situation.

"Hey I wanted that swing." A boy called out. His name

was Jake, and April new he was a fifth grader, and a

bully, but she wasn't scared of him.

"Well you were to slow." April said matter-of-factly.

"So I am older." He replied angrily.

"Well I am better, and I bet I am a lot stronger than

you too." April said starting to swing.

"Hey I like you. You're pretty brave for a fourth

grader, and for a girl." Jake said grinning. "You

wanna hang out by The Wall?"

"The Wall is only for fifth graders!" April said.

"So I am a fifth grader so I can take you over

there." Jake said holding out his hand to her.

"But what is the point of The Wall? I mean what fun

could we possibly have over there?" April said

stopping the swing and crossing her arms over her

chest stubbornly.

"Well we could kiss." Jake said grinning again."

"Ewww, and what makes you think I'd want to kiss

you?" April asked making a disgusted face.

"It'll be fun, come on." He replied.

"No way man." April answered shaking her head.

"I'll give you two dollars." He said.

"Five, and you got a deal." She said smiling.

"Okay then," he said getting out his money, "Let's

go."

April took Jake's hand and off they went to The Wall.

Jake turned April around to face her, and closed his

eyes and leaned in to kiss her. Just as their lips

touched…

"What is going on here?" A voice boomed. April looked

up, her face turning crimson. It was the principal

Mrs. Henderson.

"April Finn! What were you thinking??" Buffy said her

hands on her hips.

"What?" She said, looking maliciously at her mother.

"You are 10-years-old, what were you thinking kissing

a boy???" Buffy's voice rose in anger.

"Well he did pay me!" April said grinning, and

clearly stifling her laughter.

"WHAT?" Buffy yelled. "YOU MEAN TO TELL ME A YOU LET

A BOY PAY YOU TO KISS HIM???" Buffy yelled again.

"Geez mom you're such a drama queen." April said

rolling her eyes, obviously amused by her mother's

anger, and that her face was turning red.

"That's it April. Go to your room right now, you are

grounded. Oh just wait till your father gets home…"

Buffy trailed off.

"What? Why am I grounded?" April asked innocently.

"Go to your room now!" Buffy pointed at her door.

"Whatever, I hate you!" April yelled as she bolted

for her room. Buffy sat again wondering where her

daughter's attitude had suddenly come from. She used

to be so good, and now this. She was turning into a

precocious pre teen.

"She did what?" Riley asked.

"Yes, you heard me. She got paid to kiss a boy, at

school!" Buffy said.

"Our April?" He asked shocked.

"Yup. Just up and took the money. And then she came

home and gave me an attitude I have never even seen in

a 10-year-old. I didn't think kids that young were

capable of having an attitude. I mean next thing we

know she'll be selling herself!" Buffy said.

"Oh God, honey don't say that! She wouldn't get that

from this one incident. Right?"
