Chapter 1: The Call

It seems to be an ordinary day at the Summers' residence as Joyce Summers cooks dinner for her only daughter. Buffy, who has just returned from a regular patrol, sits on a stool discusing the events with her mother.

"It was seriously dull mom. I've had boring patrols before, but this one takes the cake. I was out there for two hours and I only got to stake a newbie. I didn't even have to throw a punch at him, he came straight towards my stake and poof... he was dust." Whined the petite blonde.

"Well I'm glad you're safe, that's all that matters to me. Plus I would think that you'd be pleased not having another one of your outfits ruined by grass stains or demon blood." Responded the girl's mother.

"Yeah, but still... I don't want patrol to be a total bust. I want a little excitement once in a while." stated the girl punching and kicking at imaginary fiends.

At that Joyce turned to face her daughter with a frown. "For a second there you sounded just like Fai-"

RING, RING The phone interrupted the rest of her sentence and Buffy raced to the phone yelling "I got it!"

"Hello, this is the Summers' residency, Buffy Summers speaking" she said evenly into the phone. A polite female voice could be heard on the other side of the line.

"Ms. Summers, we're calling you from Sunnydale Hospital regarding Faith..." there was a slight pause and some rustling of papers was heard. "hmm...this is weird, there is no last name on record."

"What about Faith! Is she...?" I can't even bring myself to say it. She had come to terms with the events that had happened before graduation. After their shared dream Buffy now understood why Faith had gone to the mayor and done those horrible things. i She was alone, and when she was in trouble, when she needed someone the most, I turned my back on her...we all did. That's why I decided to take care of her, because it's my fault she's in a coma and possibly dea...

"No, no, Ms. Summers, she's fine. She's awake, the doctors had said that there was little hope for her. They said that she might never wake up, and if she did it would take a really long time for her to completely recover. I really don't understand it, but she's fine, she can even walk...with a little help but she can walk" The lady from the hospital said with excitement.

"But she's alright?" Buffy asked with a worried frown.

"Yes Ms. Summers, she's fine but there is something we have to discuss once you arrive. How soon can you get here?"

"I'll be there in about 20 minutes." the blonde responded still worried as she hung up the phone.

"What is it honey?"

"Mom, Faith is awake! We need to go to the hospital right now!" Buffy told her mom as she went to find her jacket.

"Oh honey, this is great news!"

"Come on mom!" yelled the small girl already walking out the door.

Meanwhile: at Sunnydale Hospital

"Faith will you please answer my question, this is standard procedure" pleaded the annoyed doctor.

"I told you I don't need any more of your stupid questions, I can obviously wiggle my fingers and my toes 'cause you've seen me walking around the whole fucking room!" said Faith with an exasperated face.

"Fine have it your way. Hopefully someone will be here soon for you, maybe then you won't be so difficult." stated the doctor leaving the burnette in the room alone.

"I doubt it." she said to no one in particular.

The pale burnette sat on her bed looking around the hospital room. She had been so confused when she woke up. She couldn't remember anything. Though little things kept flashing back in her head once in a while, she still couldn't make sense of things.

Ok, so according to the dick head they call my doctor I was in a coma for 8 months. Damn that's a long ass time, I'm surprised I can even sit up. As she looks around the room one more time, her gaze falls on the small nightstand next to the bed. It was lined up with cards all saying 'Get Well Soon' on the front. Picking one up she read the signature at the bottom 'Love, Buffy'.

Who the fuck is that? Am I dating this Buffy person? Am I gay or is Buffy a guy with a really girly name? What kind of name is Buffy anyways! More confused now she continues to read the signatures on all the cards.

Damn all this cards are signed by the same person...don't I have any other friends or family who care

Faith suddenly clutched her head as a blinding flash of pain hit her and she heard a voice in her head whispering "You'll always be alone..." What the fuck was that! With a small whimper of pain she looks around the room again, looking for the origin of the voice she heard.

Great, now I'm hearing things. It's off to the nut house for me. She continues to scan the room, this time noting that there were several vases with flowers in them. There were several stuffed animals along with some baloons floating near the ceiling.

Well, at least this Buffy person seems to care. As she was about to get up from the bed to pick up a stuffed toy she heard footsteps outside her door so she decided to stay where she was in case it was the nurse back to bother her again.

I hate hospitals

Outside the hospital room

"What are you trying to say doctor?" Buffy asked the unpatient doctor.

"I will repeat this one more time Ms. Summers. This patient is suffering from amnesia. She doesn't remember anything. It seems the only thing she seemed to remember is her own name, and to get her to remember that was a painful process for both her and myself... damn ungreatful patients." the doctor mumbled the last part.

God, this guy's an asswhole Thought the small blonde, glaring at the pompous man.

"Will she regain her memory?" Joyce covered for her enraged daughter.

"It's not certain. Some patients recover their memory completely, some only parts, and some never get it back at all. You may go in to see her now. I'd like to keep her here with me for one more day, but that's really up to you. She's recovered so quickly that I wouldn't mind if you took her home right now." Stated the man with distaste at the thought of Faith staying one more day.

Buffy stood in front of the door getting ready for anything Faith might say to her. This is stupid Buffy, she probably doesn't even remember who you are. What if she does remember? What if she remembers how you and your friends treated her? What if she remembers how you tried to kill her? How you stabbed her in the gut.

"I'll be waiting for you out here if you need me honey." Joyce gave her daughter a small push towards the door.

Everything seemed to be going in slow motion for the small blonde. She put her hand on the door knob and turned it slowly.

Faith closed her eyes when she heard the knob turn. Taking a deep breath and opening her eyes her gaze fell upon the most beautiful girl her eyes had ever seen. Even with a worried frown on her face the girl looked like an angel to the burnette. I guess that answers the gay question.

The small girl now stood next to the bed with the same worried expression. "Faith...how are you feeling?"

"Well you know, apart from being extremely confused I would say I'm fine...for a person that just woke up from an 8 month coma." Faith answered with a grin on her face.

Ignoring the last bit the burnette said Buffy asked. "Do you know who I am?"

"I don't know who you are, but I know what you are...really fucking hot is what you are." Said Faith looking the blonde up and down with a grin firmly planted on her face making Buffy blush.

"erm...the doctor says you can go home today."

An honest smile sneaks past the burnette's lips. "Thank god! I fucking hate hospitals! Everyone treats you like a freaking kid all the time."

The small blonde finally smiled and without noticing reached to cover Faith's hand with her own. Faith gasped as the contact made tingles rush through her body.

"That's how they're supposed to treat you in here. It makes them feel all grown up and important."

Finally noting that she was holding hands with the burnette, Buffy looked down then up at Faith who seemed to be staring at their joined hands as well and quickly stepped back. "Uh...I'll go get the doctor now." With that the flustered blonde walked out of the room leaving Faith with a big grin on her face.

I must be good if I can catch a girl like that. Man, that's one hot blonde. I wonder if she's a natural blonde. I guess I'll find out soon enough. She smirked thinking that her and Buffy were together, but then frowned as she remembered something peculiar about her encounter with the smaller girl. What was up with those tingles though. It's weird, but somehow it felt familiar.

With that thought still in her head she turned to face Buffy as she came into the room with the doctor in tow.

"Ok Faith, I just have to check a couple of things then you'll be free to leave with Ms. Summers." The doctor said while checking her pulse.

"Great, and make it quick. I'm sick of this joint." Said the burnette while signaling the room.

Outside of the hospital

"I don't see why I have to be pushed around in a wheelchair, I can walk just fine." Faith whined.

"The answer is not going to change any time soon, I've already told you, it's hospital policy." Answered the annoyed nurse.

With an amused shake of her head Joyce said, "I'll go get the car." and walked off ahead of them.

Faith sat in the back seat of the SUV staring as the neighborhood flew past. They came to a stop and she looked out the window to the big house she assumed was where she would be staying. With Buffy's help the burnette stepped out of the car and surveid her surroundings.

This place looks so dull. They probably haven't even seen a girl wearing leathers around this place.

"So this is where I'll be staying?" She asked looking towards the big house once more.

"Yeah, this is home." Answered the blonde still holding onto the slightly taller girl protectively.

Whoa there are those tingles again. Mmmm they feel pretty nice once you get used to them.

"Come on Faith, we'll get you settled into my room. We'll have to share a bed. I just started to fix your room last week, so it's not ready yet. Hope you don't mind." Buffy said while pulling Faith up the stairs towards her room.

"It's all good babe." i We're sharing the same bed. I just got out of the hospital not even an hour ago and I'm already gonna get some. This is gonna great/i Thought the burnette excitedly flopping down onto the bed.
