Dawn was sitting on her sister's bed when Dalton walked in. He walked over and sat down next to Dawn. "Hi I'm Dalton." Dalton said.

Dawn looked up. "Oh hi. I'm Dawn." Dawn replied.

"You must be one of Buffy's friends right?" Dalton asked. "I heard some of the others talking." Dalton added.

"Well actually Buffy's my sister." Dawn replied.

"Oh cool." Dalton said.

"So what do you guys do around here for fun?" Dawn asked.

"Well not much. Max is usually pretty busy with office stuff and Zack, well he's pretty big on the whole training thing." Dalton replied. "You like babies?" Dalton asked.

"Of course." Dawn replied with a smile.

"Cool. Gem just had a baby girl. Wanna go see her?" Dalton asked.

"Sure." Dawn replied. Dalton took her by the hand and dragged her out of the room.

Jondy pulled Syl into the room. Phoebe smiled as Jondy entered the room. "Hey Jondy." Phoebe said.

"Hey Pheebs, Paige." Jondy replied. "I want you to meet Syl." Jondy added.

Paige smiled. "I'm Paige." Paige said.

"I'm Phoebe." Phoebe said.

Syl smiled. "Nice to meet you." Syl said.

"Where's Piper?" Jondy asked.

"She went to take a look around." Phoebe replied.

"Leo here yet?" Jondy asked.

"If he is, he's probably with Piper." Phoebe replied.

Jondy just nodded.

Xander and Willow were sitting on the couch in Max's office.

Sketchy and Original Cindy walked into the office where Max was. "Hey boo." OC said.

"Hey OC, Sketchy." Max said. "Hey I'd like you guys to meet some new friends of mine." Max added.

Sketchy and Original Cindy turned their attention to the two people on the couch. "I'm Original Cindy." Original Cindy said.

"I'm Willow." Willow said.

She's one fine female. OC thought to herself.

"That's Sketchy." Max said pointing to him.

"I'm Xander." Xander said.

"Nice to meet you." Original Cindy said.

"Same here." Willow said.

Sketchy walked over to Xander. "So you're Xander. Cool." Sketchy said.

"Yep in the flesh." Xander replied and Willow giggled.

OC walked up to Willow. "Want OC to show you around?" Original Cindy asked.

"Sure why not." Willow replied standing up.

"See ya later boo." Original Cindy said.

"Bye." Max said. Original Cindy dragged Willow out of the room.

Dalton dragged Dawn into Gem's room. "Hey Gem." Dalton said.

"Hey Dalton. You gonna introduce me to your friend?" Gem asked.

Dalton let go of Dawn's hand. "Yeah. This is Dawn." Dalton said.

"Nice to meet you Dawn. You must be Buffy's sister right?" Gem asked.

"Yep." Dawn replied.

"Where's Krystal?" Dalton asked.

"Oh I just put her down for a nap." Gem replied.

"Darn." Dalton said. "Dawn wanted to see her." Dalton added.

"It's ok really." Dawn replied.

Dalton thought for a moment then grabbed Dawn's hand again. "We'll see you later. Bye." Dalton said before he dragged Dawn out of the room.

"Where we going?" Dawn asked.

"To see some of my friends." Dalton replied and dragged her down the stairs.

Buffy was sitting on a picnic table with Angel's arms around her when she saw Dawn being dragged off somewhere. "What was that?" Buffy asked half serious.

"Don't know." Angel replied and kissed the top of her head. Buffy just smiled.

"Come on, I wanna take a look around." Buffy said standing up and taking Angel's hand.

"I'm coming." Angel said as Buffy dragged him off.

"I'm going to go find Piper. I'll see you guys later." Paige said.

"Bye." Phoebe said.

Paige walked out of the room and headed for Max's office.

"Hi Paige." Max greeted as Paige entered the room.

"Hey Max." Paige replied. Paige threw herself onto the couch. Then she noticed a cute male enter the room.

"Hey Max..." Alec broke off when he spotted Paige on the couch.

Max followed Alec's gaze and tried to fight the urge to laugh. "Alec this is Paige." Max said breaking the silence.

"Hi Paige." Alec said.

Paige smiled. "Hi." Paige finally said.

Alec walked over to Paige. "Want me to show you around?" Alec offered.

Paige smiled again. "Sure." Paige replied.

Alec reached out his hand to her. "Come on." Alec said as Paige took his hand.

Max just sighed it was hopeless.

Dalton dragged Dawn over to a group of X6s. "Hey guys I want you to meet Dawn." Dalton said.

"Hi Dawn." Michael said. "I'm Michael by the way." Michael added.

Dawn just smiled. "This is Skye." Dalton said gesturing to a blonde girl about 15.

Skye smiled. "Hi Dawn." Skye said.

"I'm Danielle but everyone calls me Dani." Dani said. Dawn figured her to be about the same age as Skye.

"I'm Kyle. Nice to meet you." Kyle said.

Dawn smiled. "Nice to meet you all." Dawn said.

"Same here." Skye and Dani said simultaneously and then giggled.

Dawn was glad to have found a few people her own age.

"So you're from LA huh?" Sketchy asked.

"Yeah well actually originally from Sunnydale but then it kind of fell into the earth." Xander replied.

"Oh." Sketchy said at a lose for words.

"Yeah well we kind of destroyed the hellmouth so we left for Los Angeles." Xander said and a sad look came over him.

"What's wrong?" Sketchy asked concerned.

"Oh nothing just thinking." Xander said. The truth was he still missed Anya. Sketchy decided not to push it.

Piper was on the first floor when she saw Jondy with a blonde haired woman. "Hey Piper." Jondy said.

"Hi Jondy." Piper replied. "Who's your friend?" Piper asked.

"Oh this is Syl." Jondy replied.

"Nice to meet you Syl." Piper said with a smile.

"Same here." Syl said and returned the smile.

"So you seen Zane around?" Jondy asked.

"Yeah you just missed him." Piper replied.

"Oh ok." Jondy said. "Anyway Leo get here yet?" Jondy asked.

"Yeah he went with Zane." Piper replied.

"Cool well I'll have to find him later." Jondy said.

Buffy and Angel were in Max's office, when Mole and Joshua walked in. Mole took one look at them and his face filled with disgust. "More ordinaries." Mole muttered under his breath. Why she insisted on trusting them he didn't know.

"They're not ordinaries Mole." Max responded knowing he hadn't meant for her to hear.

"Well they're not one of us." Mole said.

"No they're not but they are special like we are." Max said. "Buffy's a slayer and Angel's well..." Max trailed off.

"Angel's a vampire." Buffy said.

Mole wasn't sure what to think. "He's good though. He's cursed or something." Max said.

"Oh." Mole managed.

Joshua walked over and extended a hand to Buffy. "I'm Joshua. Nice to meet you." Joshua said.

Buffy accepted Joshua's gesture. "Nice to meet you too." Buffy said with a friendly smile.

"So what's a slayer?" Joshua asked.

"Well it's kind of a prophecy thing. I've basically got the strength and skill to kill any evil being." Buffy replied.

"Oh well ok." Joshua said. "So how'd you find out about us?" Joshua asked.

"Syl told me. I met her when I moved back to LA." Buffy replied.

"That's one of your siblings right Max?" Joshua asked.

"Yeah that's right." Max replied.
