Aftermath: Life After Sunnydale

Chapter 4- Life Or Something Like It

"Dawn! Hurry up! You'll be late to school!" Buffy shouted while making Dawn's breakfast and lunch. "Dawn?" Buffy heard feet stomping quickly down the brown walnut stairs. She hoped it was Dawn. "Sorry, just not used to the whole getting up early yet." Dawn was dressed in tight-fitted blue jeans with an orange belt. Her shirt was also tight and had a yellow duck on the front saying 'Got Bubbles?' "I understand Dawn, but just this once! Hurry up and eat." Buffy said in a stern voice. "Okay, okay." A horn honked outside. Dawn knew instantly that it was Robin in the big yellow bus. "How cliché. I can't believe that I'm going to high school in a bus." Dawn thought. "Gotta go! See ya Buffy." Dawn got off of the wooden bar stool and quickly grabbed her orange tye-dye book bag and her brown piece of toast. "Bye, Dawnie." Dawn started toward the front door when she quickly turned around and rushed back toward the kitchen. She saw her older sister standing at the counter holding a brown paper bag. "Thanks Buffy." Dawn said with a smirk on her face. Dawn quickly pecked her sister on her rosy-white cheek. Only six girls were going to attend W. P. Murphy high school out of the ten. All of them quickly rushed outside as if they were in a hurry so no one could see them.

Buffy was still a little tuckered out from the night before. As soon as she heard Dawn shut the front door, she quickly ran back upstairs and collapsed on her bed. She hasn't been sleeping well lately. Thoughts about Cleveland, work, and taking care of everyone has constantly been on her mind. She suddenly remembered a statement that Chloe said to her last night, "Buffy, the vamp called me a potential slayer." This statement troubled Buffy. "Oh, bloody hell!" Buffy knew the voice instantly. It was none other than Giles. Buffy inevitably got off her dark red velvet sheets. She walked out of door to bump heads with Andrew. "Ow! Buffy, that's hurt!" "Sorry, Andrew. I didn't know you were up at this hour." Andrew became lazy since he arrived in Cleveland. The Scoobies hardly saw him during the day and he was always out at night. He was dressed in black jeans with a usual t-shirt that had Star Wars on it. "Speaking of, why are you up this early?" Buffy said while crossing her arms across her chest. She quickly raised both of her light brown eyebrows and started intently at Andrew, hoping he would spill everything that was going on. "Um...Mr. Giles wanted me to help him with research on what you told him last night." Andrew said with a smirk on his face. Andrew was praying that Buffy would believe him. He didn't want her to know what was going on.

"Giles? Are you okay?" Buffy said while walking down the brown walnut stairs. As she approached the end of the stairs she turned to her left and looked in the living room. Not finding Giles, she looked to her right toward the dining room. "Buffy?" Giles quickly took off his glasses and delicately brushed his forehead with his right hand. He looked down at the raggedy brown, dusty book that was spread open in front of him. Buffy could tell he was frustrated and getting nowhere with the research. "Are you alright Giles?" Buffy said while walking toward him. She extended her left arm out to touch his back. "I'm fine, Buffy. Just getting no where with the research." Buffy's prediction was right. "I just don't understand how the vampire last night could tell that Chloe is or was a potential slayer." Giles said while slipping his glasses back on. "I'll keep looking." "Oh, that's okay Giles. Take a break." "Buffy, do you not understand how serious this could be? Maybe the spell didn't work or it's slowing deteriorating." Buffy was hoping Giles was just making an excuse. She prayed that the spell wasn't deteriorating.

It was now the middle of the day. Buffy was upstairs in her room getting ready for another day of retail. Giles was still downstairs doing research on vampires. Andrew wasn't helping like he said he was. Dawn was still at school. "Buffy are you ready to go?" Giles called out from the living room area. Giles heard footsteps down the brown walnut stairs. "Ready! Oh, I kinda wish I didn't say that so cheerful now." Buffy said wearing a hunter green shirt with black pants. It wasn't exactly what she pictured as a work outfit, but she gets paid. Giles opened the front door for Buffy. Before she could step out, Andrew was standing in front of her. "Andrew? What is it?" She said with a slight look of concern on her face. "Can you give me a lift to...um...the school?" Buffy was puzzled. She asked herself why he needed a ride to the school. "Um...sure.... I guess." Giles replied. "Maybe," Buffy thought, "If we give him a ride, we will figure out what he's been up to." Buffy's had a slight smirk on her face.

"I'll pick you up around five. Is that okay?" Giles said to Buffy while she was getting out of the lime colored Saturn Ion. The Scooby gang recently purchased this car. They needed another vehicle besides the bus, which takes most of their money just by filling it up with gas. The Gang was still going to keep the bus though, just because it could hold everyone. Buffy stood outside of 'Rita's Clothing Shop'. "Uh.... Giles? Do I really have to do this everyday?" she looked at Giles who just plainly nodded his head and smirked. "Gah! Remind me why we had to destroy Sunnydale again!" Buffy shut the door of the Saturn and slowly starting walking toward the shop. She stopped at the automatic doors. She was hoping, even praying that they wouldn't open. Inevitably, they did. She groaned and walked into the store where her boss greeted her. "Good afternoon. How is your day so far Buffy?" "Just peachy Mr. Johansen. Yours?" "Good. Are you ready for a day of work? If so, go check in and get at register four." Mr. Johansen said with a big smile on his face. Buffy couldn't believe he was this cheerful. "Okay." She thought to herself, "He's kinda creepy. I wonder if he's a demon. Must be, you must be a demon if you like working in retail." She then thought of Anya and smirked a little bit. Her happiness quickly turned to sorrow. Thoughts of the final fight flooded her mind. The final fight that killed many potential slayers who won't be seeing their twenty-second birthday like Buffy has. The final fight that Anya was slain in. The final fight that Spike sacrificed himself to save, well, her.

"Bloody hell! I can't find a thing in this damned book!" Giles shouted. He was in the house by himself so he knew no one would hear him. He then thought of calling Willow or Xander to help him with the research. When 'Evil Willow' took over Sunnydale, his book collection on spells became smaller. Especially the Black Arts books. Giles stood staring at a dusty, black book that was spread out in front of him. "Of course!" he exclaimed. "Why not call the Wicca who performed the spell. Good show ol' boy." He said sarcastically to himself. He walked toward the light white colored desk. He picked up the lavender cordless phone and dialed next door to Willow and Xander's. "Hello?" Giles heard on the receiver. He knew the cheery voice instantly. "Willow, It's Giles. I have to ask a favor of you." "Sure anything Giles." "Your not busy are you?" "No. Why? Are you going to ask me to do lots of research that consists of staying up all hours of the night like in high school?" "Well, yes and no. I need you to come over and tell me about the spell you performed with the scythe during the final battle. Something happened during patrolling last night. I'm sure you've heard haven't you?" "Yea, the whole vamp calling Chloe a potential slayer thing. Yesterday's news." Willow snickered a little. "I'll be over in a minute Giles." "Thanks Willow." Giles took the phone away from him ear and put it on the lavender receiver.

"Buffy! Are you home?" Dawn yelled as she entered the two-storied house through the brown oak door. "Buffy?" She walked toward the walnut stairs. Dawn looked up to see if her sister would be walking down the stairs. "Dawn?" Dawn quickly turned her head to her left toward the dining room. She saw Willow and Giles standing over a stack of books and notebook paper. "Hey Dawnie. How was your first day of school?" Willow said in her usual cheery voice with a smile on her face. Dawn smiled back and said, "It was fine. Just getting back in the swing of things is harder than I thought." "Well, Dawn, were you looking for you sister? She's working right now. I have to pick her up around five." Giles interrupted. "Um, I just wanted to tell her that I'm home." Dawn said with a smile on her face. She knew Buffy wasn't going to believe what happened to her at school.

Buffy sat behind register four, waiting for customers. She constantly looked at the clock. "I wish time would hurry up! I don't think I can stand another minute in this dreadful building!" Finishing that thought, Mr. Johansen, the manger, walked up to Buffy. "Thanks for putting in another day of work. You can go now. Have a nice day." He put a smile on his face that perturbed Buffy. "Thanks." Buffy said. She quickly walked to the back of the store to check out and grab her brown leather jacket. She thought for a second. "He seems to know just exactly when I want to leave. Hmm. I'll look into that later." Like the other night it was her night to patrol with some other potential slayers. She wanted to get home and eat and to catch a quick nap. "I wonder if Giles has gotten anywhere with the research." Buffy thought to herself. "I still don't understand how the vamp knew Chloe was a potential." Buffy walked toward the back door of the store to see if Giles was outside. Seeing that Giles wasn't outside waiting for her, she looked at the ground and sat on one of the parking blocks.

It was pitch black in the park that night. None of the streetlights were on which annoyed Buffy. She heard snarling behind some bushes. None of the other girls heard it, but Buffy could. She turned toward the bush and threw her stake at it. Dust flew up from the bush and the usual noise was heard. All of the girls jumped. "Honestly Buffy! You could warn us next time you feel like throwing stakes!" Denise yelled. "The vamp would have heard me and then one of you would be on the ground." Buffy quickly replied. Denise felt like she ate her words. Buffy, Denise, Vi, and Rona continued to walk through the park. Once again, Buffy heard snarling behind another bush. This time, Vi and Rona heard it to. All three of them turned their heads toward the bush. They couldn't believe their eyes. Three vampires jumped in front of the bush. They were not older vampires like Buffy stakes everyday. The three vamps were kids. Three kids that never had a chance to live, and discover the world. There was one girl and two boys. "Oh my God, they are kids."Vi said stating the obvious. "We aren't ordinary kids you stupid potential! You still have a lot to learn. Oh, wait. Your time almost up." Denise took a step back. "What do you mean?" Buffy said with a slight shake in her voice. "What do you mean?" Buffy yelled at the child vampires. "Say please." The child vamp said politely yet sadistically.

"I will not say please to a vampire!" Buffy said in a fit of rage. She started to lunge toward the three child vampires. She knew she had to hold back to get answers, but that didn't matter to her right now. "Wait!" yelled the little girl vampire. "Do you want your answers? Or do you want to find out on your own, Buffy?" Buffy was startled. She thought for a second. "How could she know my name? She is a mere child. All three of them can't be more than ten maybe nine years old. Wait, I'm still the slayer. Of course she knows my name." "Buffy? Do you want to answer our question before we get any hungrier?" said the first little boy. The little girl cut in, "Your answer lies in your witch. Ask her about the spell. You'll see." All three of the children snickered. Buffy quickly threw trusty Mr. Pointy toward the first little boy. "Hey! No fair!" He quickly yelled before turning to dust. "Stupid slayer! We'll get you and you'll see who is the master!" Buffy looked at the two children with a smile. "How many times have I heard that before?" Denise and Vi ran toward the two children and dusted them. "Ask the witch. Wonder what that means." Buffy thought. "What does Willow have to do with the vampires knowing that we are or were potential slayers?" Vi asked like she was reading Buffy's mind. "I have no clue. Let's go talk to Giles." "I know what they are talking about." Buffy, Vi, Rona, and Denise quickly turned to look behind them. They were staring straight at----

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There was a knock on Xander's bedroom door. "Xander? Are you awake? It's ten o' clock!" yelled Willow from the other side. "Yeah, Willow! I'm up!" He yelled just to make her go away. He turned his body toward the window of his bedroom. Willow had been pestering Xander for the past hour to wake up. "I wonder what is on the Scooby agenda for the day." He muttered to himself. "I wonder if Hope will want to hang out. It's not her night for patrolling. Maybe I should ask her later. Yeah, we could go to the mall. Sounds like a plan. Now, I just have to see if Hope will want to go." Xander let out a small giggle with a smile. "You liar!" Willow yelled. Xander abruptly turned around toward Willow. She was standing at the archway of his door. Her teeth were clenched together. "Willow?" Xander asked confused. He was puzzled by Willow's action. He has never seen her so angry. The only time he had seen Willow so angry is when Tara died. Xander's whole body went numb. Willow then passed out on the floor.

"Oh my God! Willow?" Xander pushed all of his covers aside and rushed to Willow's side. He began to lightly shake Willow. "Willow? Willow! Wake up Willow!" Xander's pulse was beating at what seemed like one hundred miles an hour. His hands were shaking. He had no clue what was wrong with his best friend. "Xander?" Willow opened her eyes and looked at Xander. "What am I doing on the floor?" Xander looked puzzled. He helped Willow off of his floor. "You have no clue why you were on the floor?" Xander asked while escorting Willow to his bed. He delicately placed her on top of his bed. "You should lie down." Xander fluffed his pillow for Willow to lie down on. "What do you remember before you were on the floor?" Xander asked. "I remember making myself an egg for a lite breakfast. Then, I was on your floor." Willow stated with slight confusion in her voice. "Remarkably I feel fine." Willow said with a smile. She got off of Xander's bed, without hesitation, and walked toward the kitchen of her and Xander's house. "Ergo the weirdness." Xander said to himself.

Xander walked toward his personal blue-sponged bathroom. "Xander? Are you in here?" Xander knew the sound of the voice. It was Hope. Xander walked back out of his bathroom. He saw Hope standing in the archway of his door. She was wearing a light blue skirt with a light blue shirt to match it. Xander thought she was so beautiful. He stared at Hope with his mouth open and his eyes wide. "Xander? You're not still asleep are you? Man, for a guy you sure do get a lot of 'beauty sleep'. Hope laughed at her own joke. "Uh, yeah. Is there something you needed?" Xander said trying to stay focused on Hope's face, which wasn't too hard. "Do you want to hang out later? I mean, we don't have the bus but we can walk into town or something." Xander remembered that the bus was off limits during the weekdays because of school. "It's like you read my mind. I would love to." Xander said with a smile on his face. "Okay." Hope said with her face turning slightly light pink. "Just tell me when your ready." "Well, I was going to get a quick shower." "Okay, I'll be either downstairs or at Faith's." Hope and Xander both smiled and made 'googly eyes' at each other. Hope walked out of Xander's bedroom closing his door behind her. Her lips were probably touching her ears she was smiling so much.

"Hey Xander!" Faith exclaimed. "Faith, nice to see you. How you doing?" "Five by five Xand. Here to pick up your date?" Faith said with a smile on her face. She was sitting on Robin's lap in the living room of their house. Xander could feel his cheeks turning a light red. "She's not here. She went back to your house like two seconds ago. Funny isn't it. She went to wait for you. You spend more time in the bathroom then I do." Faith said giggling. Robin laughed too. "Hey Xander. Tomorrow you're taking the girls to school." Robin practically ordered Xander to pick them up. Xander didn't like the tone in Robin's voice. "Sure, Robin. I got to go and pick up Hope. See you later." Xander walked out of Faith and Robin's house. "Man, the girl doesn't have patience I guess." He walked toward the steps that lead to the front door of the house him and Willow shared. He was startled when he found Hope sitting on the steps waiting patiently for him. "Hope?" Xander said quietly. Hope looked up. "Ready to go?" Hope quickly jumped up. "Sure. Where do you suppose we should go first?" "Well, the real question is, are you hungry or do you need new clothes?" "Um, I'm hungry." "Great! Me to! I'm starving! Let's go eat!"

The phone chimed throughout the Harris/Rosenberg house. Willow walked into the living room toward a light brown desk. She picked up the off-white telephone. "Hello?" Willow, It's Giles. I have to ask a favor of you." "Sure anything Giles." "Your not busy are you?" "No. Why? Are you going to ask me to do lots of research that consists of staying up all hours of the night like in high school?" "Well, yes and no. I need you to come over and tell me about the spell you performed with the scythe during the final fight. Something happened during patrolling last night. I'm sure you've heard haven't you?" "Yea, the whole vamp calling Chloe a potential slayer thing. Yesterday's news." Willow snickered a little. "I'll be over in a minute Giles." "Thanks Willow." Willow hung up the phone immediately. She walked toward the light green kitchen to grab herself a snack. Heavy research meant lack of food. So, she better grab something real quick just to hold her off till dinner. "Going somewhere Willow?" Kennedy said sweetly yet seductively. Lately Kennedy only had one thing on her mind and that was sex with Willow. Not that Willow didn't mind, but lately Kennedy had only that on her mind. "Yeah, I'm going to help Giles with research. I'll be over there for a couple of hours." "Wanna have some fun before you leave?" Kennedy said seductively. "As tempting as it sounds, I have to turn you down. The research we are doing involves the spell I cast during the 'Final Fight'." Kennedy poked her lip out, but Willow ignored it. "I got to go. Be back later. K?" "Whatever." Kennedy said rudely and stomped toward the spiral staircase up to her room.

"Anything else you would like to know about me?" Xander asked Hope politely. "Tell me about your relationship with Anya, if you don't mind. I'll understand if you don't want to tell me." "Nah, it's okay. I'll tell ya." Xander had to think for a minute how to explain his relationship with Anya. "We met senior year at Sunnydale High. It was after Cordelia broke up with me after catching Willow and I having a make out fest." "You mean Willow and you, made out?" "Well, yeah. She was straight at one time. Then Tara came into her life and the story goes on from there." "Oh. You learn something new everyday. Sorry to interrupt. Back to your story." "Anyway. Anya was a vengeance demon who helped scorned women seek vengeance on men who dumped them or whatever." Hope had a confused look on her face. "Cordelia made a wish and Anya granted it, turning Sunnydale into what the gang call 'Bizzaro Sunnydale'. Giles made a spell to make Anya appear where he destroyed her necklace or "power center" and she became human. Before the Mayor's Ascension, which the Scooby gang had no information on, she helped give us facts about the Ascension. Then she went or ran away." A waiter arrived with Xander and Hope's meal. "To be continued." Xander said quickly. He didn't want the waiter to hear about what was really happening at night besides perfect silence.

"So, will you finish your story now?" Hope said while putting the napkin on her lap onto her empty plate. "Man, for a girl, you can eat!" Xander said while staring down at Hope's plate with his eyes wide open. "Okay. Let's see. After the Ascension, I went on a road trip. Three months later I came home to find out that I had to live in the basement of my parents house and had to pay rent. A couple days later Anya showed up in my basement and she was offering herself to me, to put it politely. After that we were in love and two years ago, planned to get married. Unfortunately, a demon came to our wedding in the form of me as a sixty-year-old man. He showed me a fake vision of my future with Anya. It terrified me and I called off the wedding. She went back to being a vengeance demon. She had sex with Spike. She granted a horrible wish to a group of guys at a frat house and wanted to take it back. She was then banished from becoming a vengeance demon ever again. I tried to make things right again, but I don't think she forgave me. Except two days before the fight. I think final peace was made between us. During the fight she was fighting with Andrew and a bringer sliced her in half and instantly killed her. So ends my tale." Hope's mouth was wide open. She couldn't believe the story she just heard. "Now, if you like hearing a story about demons, ask Willow about her and Oz. Or ask Buffy about her and Angel. They have some stories to tell too, believe me!" "I've heard about Oz and Willow. Who's Angel?" "Angel is a vampire that Buffy fell in love with and vice versa. Buffy and Spike is another weird tale. Let me ask you a question Hope, why do you want to know about Anya and I?" Hope looked at Xander sweetly. "So I won't make the same mistake if you and I take, you and I, a step further." Hope smiled at Xander sweetly. Xander loved the fact that Hope wanted to be more than friends with him.

"Buffy! Are you home?" Dawn yelled as she entered the two-storied house through the brown oak door. Willow suddenly shook. "Gosh, does she have to be so dramatic?" Willow thought. "Buffy?" Willow saw Dawn walk toward the walnut stairs. Dawn looked up to see if her sister would be walking down the stairs. "Dawn?" Dawn quickly turned her head to her left toward the dining room. She saw Willow and Giles standing over a stack of books and notebook paper. "Hey Dawnie. How was your first day of school?" Willow said in her usual cheery voice with a smile on her face. Dawn smiled back and said, "It was fine. Just getting back in the swing of things is harder than I thought." "Well, Dawn, were you looking for you sister? She's working right now. I have to pick her up around five." Giles interrupted. "Um, I just wanted to tell her that I'm home." Willow had a suspicion that something was up. Willow was too distracted with all the researching to worry about what Dawn was trying to hide.

"What 'cha researching?" Dawn asked sweetly. Willow looked up from the brown, dusty, book she was looking through. She started to open her mouth to respond to Dawn. "The spell Willow performed, during the final fight. We are looking to see if it had any after effects, if you will." Giles responded quickly. Willow poked her lip out slightly. Dawn let out a small laugh. "Oh, you mean how the vamp last night could realize that Chloe was a 'potential slayer'." Giles looked up at Dawn in amazement. "What? I go to school with the girl? Plus, she is quite the blabbermouth. You won't believe what that house does at night." Giles and Willow looked at Dawn with confusion. "Uh. Forget I said that." Dawn quickly said. "Well, I have homework to do and I'm sure you two don't need any help, right?" Giles was just about to open his mouth when he was cut off. "Great! Bye!" Dawn quickly rushed upstairs. "What a little brat!" Willow thought to herself. "Willow? Find anything?" "No you stupid git!" Willow practically yelled at Giles. "Willow? Are you feeling okay?" Willow looked up at Giles. "Oh, sorry Giles. I've just been feeling so weird lately. First, this morning I was making an egg and then I was lying on Xander's room floor. I have no clue what is happening to me." Giles couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Maybe you should get some rest. I can finish up." "Are ya sure Giles?" "Go on Willow." Willow stood up, kind of disappointed, and walked toward the front door. She turned back to look at Giles. "Call me if you need anything."

"Buffy? Buffy? Where are you?" Xander whispered. It was pitch black in the park that night. Xander wasn't alone though. Hope, who was a slayer, was standing behind him. "Are you sure she's in this park? And by the way! If you don't want a vamp to find us then whisper!" Hope said assertively. "If you have any hope of getting home anytime soon, then I have to yell for her!" Xander and Hope kept walking side by side through the park. Suddenly, Hope heard rustling in the bushes. She quickly grabbed Xander's arm. "Ow Hope! Slayer strength!" "Shh!" "What?" "Shut up!" Hope quickly put her hand around Xander's mouth to shush him. Hope looked around. Her slayer senses weren't as powerful as Buffy's, but they were pretty strong. There was more rustling in the bushes. Hope softly took her hand away from Xander's face. All of a sudden, a cat jumped out of the bushes. Xander yelped and grabbed onto Hope's body. "Xander? It was a cat." Xander could feel the rush of stupidity coming over him. He could tell his face was turning many shades of red. "Oh. I knew that." Quickly something grabbed Hope by her arm. She yelped in fear. "Oh! Slayer blood!" The vampire who grabbed her said sadistically. Xander's adrenaline was running fast. He quickly punched the vampire. The vampire let go of Hope. She turned around to look at the vampire and get into her 'ready to kick ass' stance. The vampire must have been a new one because he ran toward Hope with his arms in the air exposing his heart. Hope quickly grabbed a stake out of her back pocket and threw it at the vamp's heart. "Oh, damn." The vampire managed to get out before turning he turned to dust. "Ha! Easy Kill! Xander? You okay?" Hope turned around to see Xander staring with his mouth wide open at Buffy, Denise, Vi, Rona, and-----

"Faith? Time to wake up. Gotta get the girls to school." Robin said quietly to Faith while she was quietly stirring in her and Robin's king size green velvet bed. He lightly pecked Faith's head. Faith turned around and smiled at Robin. "Good morning!" Faith said with the brightest smile on her face. She leaned up toward Robin and kissed him. "Morning. I've got to get ready to take the girls to school. How about you wake the girls up and I'll start breakfast." "Sounds fine to me." Faith said slightly tired. Robin smiled at Faith and got out of the bed. He walked toward the green painted bathroom that Faith and him shared. Faith laid back down on her bed and stretched. "Are you still lying there?" Robin said as he walked out of the bathroom. "Yeah, you wanna do something about it?" Faith said seductively sitting up. "Hold that thought till I get back." Faith poked her lip out slightly. Robin pointed at the digital clock that was on a nightstand next to his and Faith's bed. The clock read six o' clock. Faith then thought that school starts at seven so why move so fast. Then she remembered that four out of the six girls who were going to school lived in her house. "Oh crap! I'm hurrying." Faith jumped out the bed and started walking toward the stairs. "Four girls and two bathrooms. That's a problem."

Robin pushed down on the steering wheel. A honk sounded throughout the neighborhood. "Let's move girls!" Robin, being an ex-principal, was very punctual. Four girls ran out of his and Faith's two-story house. He turned his head to see Victoria and Dawn out of their specific houses. All of the girls ran to the bus. They quickly loaded onto the bus. "Ready? Everyone have everything?" Before any of the girls could say anything Robin cut them off. "Okay, Let's go." The bus pulled off toward W.P. Murphy high school. "So? Who didn't hear about what happen to me last night?" Chloe yelled on the bus. The whole group was startled by Chloe's statement. "She looks alright to me. Brain damage maybe?" Nicole said quietly to Denise. Denise laughed quietly. Chloe glanced over at Nicole and Denise. "Like I was saying. Last night while I was on patrol with Buffy, Victoria, and Hope, this vampire came up to me and started to try and kick my ass. Little did he know that I was ready for him. He caught me off guard and quickly grabbed my arm and spun me around to where my back was on his chest. The he snarled and showed off his teeth and said, 'Let's see how potential slayer tastes.' Then Buffy ran up behind me a jabbed him in the back!" Fear quickly swarmed the bus. The entire bus was silent. The only sound heard was the humming of the bus. More like the snoring of the bus. All of the potential slayers stared in fear at Chloe. Their excitement suddenly turned to fear. All of them thought they were safe in Cleveland. Now only one thing ran through their minds: How in the world did that vamp know?

"Yeah, Chloe and her big mouth. Can you believe she would scare the girls like that?" Robin said to Faith while she was cleaning her breakfast plate. Robin walked up to Faith and put his arms around her waist. She felt his touch immediately with soft moans. She knew exactly what he had on his mind. Robin moved Faith's hair from her neck and kissed it softly. Faith dropped her dish that she was cleaning and turned around to meet eyes with Robin. "Up for round five?" Robin said with lust in his eyes. Faith knew his intentions immediately. He picked her up and carried her up to their room. He dropped her softly on their bed. Faith lifted his grey t-shirt off of him. Then Robin moved to Faith's shirt. Next, they both moved toward each other's jeans. Downstairs, Shannon and Rona were sitting on the couch reading their magazines. "Hey Rona." Rona looked up at Shannon. Rona had a smile on her face. "Hear that?" Rona pointed up at the ceiling. Rona and Shannon heard the rocking of the steel bed against the green walls. Rona and Shannon just looked at each other and laugh. "I wonder if those two ever wear clothes for more than three hours." Shannon said laughing.

"Hey Xander!" Faith exclaimed. "Faith, nice to see you. How you doing?" "Five by five Xand. Here to pick up your date?" Faith said with a smile on her face. She was sitting on Robin's lap in the living room. Xander could feel his cheeks turning a light red. "She's not here. She went back to your house like two seconds ago. Funny isn't it. She went to wait for you. You spend more time in the bathroom then I do." Faith said giggling. Robin laughed too. "Hey Xander. Tomorrow you're taking the girls to school." Robin practically ordered Xander to pick them up. Xander looked at Robin with his eyebrows lowered. "Sure, Robin. I got to go and pick up Hope. See you later." Xander walked out of Faith and Robin's house. "See ya Xand!" Faith yelled. "Hmmm." Faith said. "Wanna do something today Robin?" "I have to pick up the girls from school, but afterwards we could go out and eat." "Sounds nice." Faith said with a smile. "Faith? Robin?" Shannon said walking down the steel spiral stairs. "Yeah?" Faith and Robin yelled at the same time. "Rona and I are gonna go out for a while. Wanna come?" "Why don't you to wait till Faith and I go and pick up the girls because we are going into town and we can drop you two off." Shannon smiled and nodded her head. Robin smiled back. Robin and Shannon smiled at each other what seemed like an eternity. Faith had a hint of jealousy in her face. "Hello! Earth to Robin and Shannon." Faith said waving her arms in front of Robin's face. Robin and Shannon both shook their heads slightly. "Rona has to patrol tonight right?" Faith asked Shannon. "Oh, yeah. Well, that does destroy my plans. Maybe tomorrow." Shannon said poking her bottom red lip out slightly. "Darn." Faith said sarcastically.

It was pitch black in the park that night. None of the streetlights were on which annoyed Buffy. She heard snarling behind some bushes. None of the other girls heard it, but Buffy could. She turned toward the bush and threw her stake at it. Dust flew up from the bush and the usual noise was heard. All of the girls jumped. "Honestly Buffy! You could warn us next time you feel like throwing stakes!" Denise yelled. "The vamp would have heard me and then one of you would be on the ground." Buffy quickly replied. Denise felt like she ate her words. Buffy, Denise, Vi, and Rona continued to walk through the park. Once again, Buffy heard snarling behind another bush. This time, Vi and Rona heard it to. All three of them turned their heads toward the bush. They couldn't believe their eyes. Three vampires jumped in front of the bush. They were not older vampires like Buffy stakes everyday. The three vamps were kids. Three kids that never had a chance to live, and discover the world. There was one girl and two boys. "Oh my God, they are kids." Vi said stating the obvious. "We aren't ordinary kids you stupid potential! You still have a lot to learn. Oh, wait. Your time almost up." Denise took a step back. "What do you mean?" Buffy said with a slight shake in her voice. "What do you mean?!" Buffy yelled at the child vampires. "Say please." The child vamp said politely yet sadistically.

"Chloe? What the hell are you talking about? You know what they are talking about?" Buffy said frustrated. Everyone except Buffy could not believe Chloe, a potential slayer, knew what the vamp kids were talking about. Chloe quickly glanced at everyone. "I know because I am the first to go." "Go? What do you mean go? I want answers right now!" Buffy yelled. Chloe held up her right hand. Buffy stopped immediately. "I am the first to go. Like the vampires told you, ask the witch. Willow knows what is going on because she performed the spell and she's feeling it's aftermaths. More will come with me, a lot more." Buffy didn't believe what she was hearing. "How many more? How many!" Buffy was very upset, angry and frustrated. "More will come. That's all I know because I am the first. Now, I've got to go. Good-bye." Chloe said sadly. Chloe's body abruptly fell to the ground. Everyone froze, everyone's heart stopped. Buffy rushed up to Chloe's body. She quickly fell to her knees. "Chloe?" Practically everyone whispered at the same time. Buffy propped up Chloe's body on her knees. Chloe's arms and head fell back. Buffy then started breathing heavy. Everyone else was starting to cry. Chloe was dead.
