"A lot of educators tell students, think of your principal as your pal, I
say think of me as your judge, jury, and executioner. Tell me who do you
think is the most troublesome student in this school, better yet of your
little gang", stated Principal Snyder as he stood in his office in front of
the six
"We're not a gang, who said we're a gang", asked Xander as he fidgeted in his seat
"What else am I suppose to think you all have a large number of absences all on the same days, you all have a large tendency to start fights so I'm giving you all a chance to improve your reputation. You have three days to prepare the refreshments, make the banners and transform the school lounge into a habitable place for adults, all for Parent Teacher night. This will incur my good will and may affect what I tell your parents when I meet them, are we clear", speeched Principal Snyder
"Absolutely", answered Buffy
"Crystal", added Spike
"Good because you mess up this time and your parents will be coming to clean out your lockers", finished Snyder
"So did this happen to the three of you last time", asked Tara as the group walked through the halls of the school
"Just me and I had to work with Sheila", answered Buffy with a flinch
"Who's Sheila", asked Anya
"She stabbed a teacher and she was already smoking in fifth grade, once I was lookout for her", answered Willow
"You're bad to the bone", laughed Xander
"This still isn't fair I'm not as bad as I was last time I'm the Slayer, that requires a certain amount of cutting and fighting", said Buffy as they walked outside
"At least this time you don't have me comin for a fight", stated Spike
"Yah well I hope something does that's the only reason why Mom didn't ground me till dooms day or the way Cordelia put it last time I'd still be grounded at our Reunion", replied Buffy
"That is defiantly a jinx if I ever heard one", said Anya
"It's you this time Buffy and it affects all of us", yelled Willow
Buffys Bedroom
"Buffy I got the mail. Which included a reminder notice about Parent Teacher night, Thursday", stated Joyce as she walked into Buffys room
"That's good", answered Buffy knowing what was coming
"So, what do you think your teachers are gonna tell me about", asked Joyce
"Well I think they'll all agree that I always bring a pen to class, ready to absorb the knowledge", replied Buffy as she sat on her bed
"And this absorption rate, how is it reflected in your homework and test scores", insisted Joyce
"What can you really tell about a person from a test score", said Buffy
"Whether or not she's ever going out with her friends again. Well I look forward to meeting your principal", stated Joyce
"Won't that be something", whispered Buffy
"Look sweetheart. Life is more than grades and homework and not getting kicked out of school but we moved once because of you getting in trouble and I had to start a new business not to mention a new life in a whole new town and your sister. What I don't want is to be disappointed in you again", replied Joyce as she sat on Buffys bed
"Mom that's the last thing that I want too, I'm trying, I really am. I just I have a lot of pressure on me right now", said Buffy as she slumped her head
Student Lounge
"You't poor't dears worken like slave", laughed Kendra as she and Faith walked up on the Scooby gang working on banners
"Hardy Har", stated Spike who was covered in florescent pink paint
"Oh Willow, Tara do you think you can help me cram some French tonight, I don't want Mr. DeJean telling my Mother I'm an imbecile", replied Buffy
"Sure but don't you have a lot else to do", asked Tara
"Hay I can study, do Parent Teacher night, make my Mother proud, get Faith and Kendra off to LA as long as I don't have to fight vampire which shouldn't be a problem since Spike isn't evil", replied Buffy
"Buffy", stated Giles as he and Jenny walked up to them
"Don't worry we know the night of Saint Vig something Saturday nothing's going to happen", interrupted Xander
"How can you say that Saint Vigous led a crusade of-of vampires this is a prime time for vampire issues", said Giles in frustration
"Future remember we know what's going to happen", replied Anya from the couch
"You're all being a tad flip don't you think, this is serious", said Giles
"And getting kicked out of school is laughs aplenty", asked Buffy
"They have been right before so we should listen to them now", suggested Jenny
"You were the one that brought this to my attention" stated Giles
"Don't worry Giles but Jenny I need to talk to you", replied Buffy as she stood up from her work
"About what", asked Jenny
"Janna Kalderash and the favored daughter of the Gypsy tribe", answered Buffy
Next Night Alley Outside Bronze
"Amazing how fast you turned back to eating rats", stated Buffy as she stood in front of Angel who was in rags and leaning against a chain fence
"You didn't need my help what else am I suppose to do", asked Angel
"What if you could be help to Slayers In Training will that get you off the streets", asked Buffy
"What do I have to do", asked Angel
"Meet me at the school library tomorrow after dark", replied Buffy
"You done talken to peaches luv", asked Spike as he walked out the back door of the Bronze
"Yah he's cool", answered Buffy
"How are you alive Spike", stated Angel in disdain
"The same way you'll be able to be happy without going Angelus, a cute ass Slayer that likes reforming centuries old Vampires", said Spike as he placed an arm around Buffys waist as they walked away
Student Lounge
"You've done a wonderful job children", announced Sarah as she stood in front of the Scoobys
"Thanks Mom", stated Tara
"We did everything right this time, we kept Buffy away from the lemonade", laughed Willow
"Hay how was I suppose to know you had to put in the sugar and you said it was very good as I recall", interfered Buffy
"Don't worry luv everything will go off with out a hitch, Sarah will keep your Mother away from Snyder and your teachers and Angel will be off with Faith and Kendra to LA", comforted Spike as he hugged Buffy from behind
"Buffy there you are, who are all your friends", asked Joyce as she and Dawn walked up to the group
"Well you know Willow and Xander, and there's Tara, Anya and Spike", answered Buffy
"And I'm Sarah, I'm Taras Mom and Anya and Spikes adoptive mother", said Sarah as she shook Joyces hand
"It's nice to meet you", smiled Joyce
"Why don't we leave our children be, that jack ass Principal Snyder has something out for our poor children. He even threatened them that if they didn't do a good job, we'd be called in to clean out their lockers", stated Sarah as she lead Joyce away from the Scoobys
"Good Luck", laughed Dawn as she followed her Mother
"Thanks Nibblet hopefully we wont need it", retorted Spike
"Let's get to work we have a lot to do and I still can't believe we aren't getting paid for this", replied Anya as the group went back to the refreshment table once the two Mothers and Dawn were out of sight
Two Hours Later
"Hi I'm Joyce Summers, I'm Buffy's mother and this is Sarah Jenkins and she's Tara, Anya, and Spikes mother", stated Joyce as the two woman were stopped by Principal Snyder
"Principal Snyder I'm afraid we need to talk, my office is down here", answered Principal Snyder as the two women followed
"He didn't look very happy, I think we're all dead", said Buffy as they all collapsed in the lounge
"But we did such a good job", complained Willow
"Why's Snyder got such a bug up his ass", asked Dawn as she sat with the group
"Chilt you hav'et a dirty mouth", stated Kendras Mother as she, Kendras Father, Kendra, Faith and Amadi walked up to them
"I'm here like you said and thank you for the second chance", stated Angel as he and Jenny walked up to the gang
"My Father wont appreciate that I removed the happiness clause but Buffys explained how evil Angelus really is and we don't want that accidentally released", added Jenny
"We wanted to thank you B for all you've done before we left", replied Faith as she shook Buffys hand
"Yes you haven't been a wonterful influence and we't thank you for't that", added Kendras Father
"Buffy", screamed Joyce as she and Sarah appeared followed by a smiling Principal Snyder
"Good't luck in your't life Miss. Buffy and't thank you for't giving my daughter to me", smiled Kendras Mother as that group walked away
"In the car now", hissed Joyce as she continued to walk as Buffy and Dawn got up to follow
"The stars are dancing with joy, I've found my boy and the witchys father has finally found the young witch and her mother", swooned Drusilla as she stood in Joyce, Buffy and Dawns path
"The demons control you and now we have demons too", laughed Donny as he and his Father both vamped out and dashed past Buffy to the student lounge
"They are so pretty, they take care of me since my bad boy abandoned me but now I'll get him back and punish him", giggled Drusilla
"Mom, Dawn run", screamed Buffy as 18 more vampires walked in
"Leave her alone", cried Sarah as Donny slammed Tara across the face
"Everyone follow us", screamed Spike guiding the gang away from the vampires
"In here", added Willow as she and Sarah carried Tara into the science lab and the others followed
"Who are those people and what do they want", asked a man as Buffy and Spike barricaded the door
"I didn't get much of a look but is there something wrong with their faces", added Joyce
"Yes, PCP it's a gang on PCP we've gotta get out of here", said Principal Snyder as he climbs on a desk to get to the window
"You can't go outside, they'll kill you and the rest of us", yelled Anya
"You don't tell me, I tell you", answered Snyder as he continued
"They will kill everybody in this room, nobody goes out, nobody comes in until I say so, do you hear me", stated Buffy as she pulled him down
"Who do you think you are", asked Snyder
"We're the one that know how to stop them", replied Xander as he watched Buffy place a stool on the lab table
"Buffy are you crazy, look I know you've been accused of fighting and other things but those guys are serious, you can't go out there", confronted Joyce
"Just stay here and help Sarah and Willow with Tara. Xander, Anya if they do get in protect everyone", stated Buffy as she looked over at the knocked out Tara, and then proceeded to move the ceiling tile
"Don't worry Mom Buffy can take care of her self", comforted Dawn as Buffy and Spike climbed through the ceiling
"What's the plan Buffy we have no weapons", whispered Spike as the two crawled through the ceiling
"Giles is still in the library, so make sure he's okay and get the weapons out of the cage", answered Buffy as she lifted a piece of tile and jumped down through
"What the bloody", asked Giles as Spike also jumped down
"The schools been taken over by vamps, apparently Drusilla vamped Tara's brother and father and they want Tara and Sara back and Drusilla wants Spike back
"Not bloody likely, I wont stand being with that bint again", replied Spike as they started grabbing weapons out of the cage
Science Lab
"Why don't you sit down", stated Joyce as Snyder paced the class room
"This is my school, what I say goes and I say this is not happening", yelled Snyder
"Well then I guess the danger's over and our children are no longer in the line of fire", retorted Sarah
"I'm not waiting for them to open the door, I'm getting out", said the man as he went back over to the window
"Don't be stupid we have to listen to Buffy", mumbled Tara through a swollen lip
"No, you heard what Buffy and the others are saying", stated Joyce as Snyder also climbed up
"She's a student, what does she know", laughed Principal Snyder as he pulled the pieces of tin back
"Done", stated the man as two of the tins were pulled back
"See you should listen to Buffy she knows what she's talking about", stated Xander as the man was pulled through the window
Halls
"Okay we've cleared out the halls but where the hell in Drusilla, Donny and Taras father", asked Buffy as the two headed back to the science lab
"I don't know", stated Spike as they turned a corner
"Come on pretties why don't you come out and play", giggled Drusilla as Donny was chopping at the science lab door with a fire ax
"Hay get away from them", screamed Buffy as she ran down the hall with Spike at her side
"No way Missy", said Taras Dad as he blocked their path
"You know you make me sick, hurting Tara and Sarah just because you're too stuck in old time when there were slaves", replied Spike as he pummeled the guy
"Say bye", added Buffy as she staked him
"Two more to go luv, who do you want", asked Spike as they made their way to Donny and Drusilla
"Up to you would you rather beat on Drusilla or have me beat on her", asked Buffy
"You can I just love to see a good fight", answered Spike as he pulled Donny away from the door
"Buffy honey be careful", begged Joyce as she watched Buffy through the hole in the door
"You okay luv", asked Spike once Donny was dust
"You took away my baby and now he calls you luv", whimpered Drusilla as Buffy staked her just out of view of Joyce
"Now I am and everyone's safe", answered Buffy as Joyce open the door and hugged Buffy
Outside
"So what did Principal Snyder say about us anyway", asked Buffy as the Scoobys and the two Moms walked out of the school
"Principal Snyder said you were all troublemaker", answered Joyce
"Also pretty much that you were pond scum and didn't deserve to live", added Sarah
"And I could care less, I have a daughter who can take care of herself, who's brave and resourceful and thinks of others in a crisis. No matter who you hang out with even though these seem to be good kids or what dumb teenage stuff you think you need to do, I'm gonna sleep better knowing all that", smiled Joyce
"About how long till this wears off and you start ragging on me again", asked Buffy
"Oh, at least a week and a half", answered Joyce
"So does this mean we get to keep Buffy", asked Willow
"And she wont be grounded till our tenth reunion", added Xander
"She's in the clear for now", answered Joyce
"Thank you we wouldn't know what to do with out her she's the Scooby in Scooby do and Dawns Scrappy when she's around", replied Spike
"I guess that makes you Shaggy", stated Tara slightly slurred from her lip
"Bloody Hell", retorted Spike
"We have lovely children even though they may have mental issues", said Sarah causing Joyce to laugh
"We're not a gang, who said we're a gang", asked Xander as he fidgeted in his seat
"What else am I suppose to think you all have a large number of absences all on the same days, you all have a large tendency to start fights so I'm giving you all a chance to improve your reputation.
