Through the Years

Don't own them, and never will.

Buffy was terrified of flying, she's been on a plane with her father plenty of times, but she was still afraid. Cordelia was holding her friends hand trying to calm her down, but it wasn't working. She had to think of something to cheer her friend up.

"Buffy, guess what? Mommy and daddy said that their going to take us shopping." The brunette told her.

"Shopping really? I love to shop." A smile played on her face.

"I'm glad that your mommy and daddy said that you can come along. I would have been awfully bored without you."

"Tell me about it, I'm glad I came too. Does everyone speak Spanish?" Buffy asked curiously.

Antonio couldn't help but laugh at the little girls questions, sometimes they were too adorable.

"They speak both English and Spanish. While you're here you might even pick up the language." He told the little blonde.

She beamed at him causing him to chuckle. There was something about Buffy that brought a happiness into their lives. The girls continued laughing and talking while the parents took a light nap. They stopped talking when they heard another conversation that piqued their little curiosities.

"I always wanted to join the Mile High Club." A female voice said.

"I do too, but I just don't want to get caught." Another female voice said.

"It won't matter this is a huge plane, no one is going to hear you." The other female voice replied.

"I'll go to the bathroom first; you wait five minutes and then join me. Trust me you'll enjoy yourself." The voice replied.

The female walked by and gave the two girls a brilliant smile, they smiled back. Their little minds going a mile a minute. What's the mile high club, and why were those two women talking about it. Adults were weird to them; they continued talking until they saw the other female get up, this one didn't smile at them, she looked nervous. Buffy and Cordelia turned around to see where she was going, when they saw a hand pull her into the bathroom, they exchanged eww glances and sat back down.

"We don't go to the bathroom together, if there is only one." Buffy queried.

Cordelia laughed, "No we don't silly, it's just something adults do when they get older. I mean when we go out to eat, your mommy and my mommy go to the bathroom together all the time." She smiled.

"Oh, okay." Buffy just nodded her head and pulled out her coloring book and began coloring.

The females came back with huge grins on their faces, and clothes a little wrinkled. Buffy looked up at them and smiled. They smiled back at her, she went back to coloring. The captain came on the loud speaker and told them to buckle up, the plane was landing. The little girls complied and put their coloring books back in their little back packs. Antonio and Victoria woke up also; they couldn't believe they slept all the way there. The plane landed smoothly and they were able to get off the plane.

"Your girls were very well behaved; in fact we didn't hear a peep out of them." The flight attendant complimented them.

Both girls gave her a big smile, and Cordelia's parents gave a polite thank you and ushered the girls off the plane. The two females that sat near them on the plane were in front of them.

"Mom what's the mile high club?" Cordelia asked her mother.

"W-Where did you hear that?" Victoria asked a mixture of surprise and shock in her voice.

"Well, those two women were talking about the mile high club and then they went to the bathroom together." Buffy interjected, pointing to the women in front of them.

The two women were blushing beyond control. They didn't think they were talking that loud. They rushed away from the little family, not wanting to hear the explanation.

"It's how many times you fly. I mean I've flied dozens of times." Antonio tried to explain.

"Daddy, then why did they go to the bathroom together?" Cordelia asked.

Victoria couldn't believe that they were having this conversation in an airport.

"We'll explain when we are in the car. Come along girls we need to get our luggage." Antonio instructed the girls.

Hopefully the sights would take their minds off of the whole conversation they just had. What made him upset was that they would do something like that on a plane that has little kids. They made it to the luggage carousel and waited for their bags, between Buffy and Cordelia there were like ten bags. How much do little girls need?

A town car was waiting for them, and the chauffer ushered the two girls in, while another person put their luggage in the car. It was sunset, so they really couldn't do much right now. The girls were talking excitedly about what they wanted to do. Cordelia wanted to go shopping and Buffy wanted to go to the beach. Victoria had to calm them down, because they were getting overly excited.

"Daddy you didn't answer my question, why did they go to the bathroom together?" Cordelia asked again.

They thought for sure that the conversation was long forgotten. Leave it to kids to remember everything.

"All women go to the bathroom together; they go to powder their noses or just to talk." Victoria answered.

"There was only one bathroom Ms. Victoria, Cordy and I don't even go to the bathroom like that." Buffy told the older woman.

"You know what; I think we should talk about something else. I don't think your parents would approve of us talking to you about this." Antonio piped up.

"You should see our villa; it has five bedrooms and four bathrooms, a playroom just for me, a game room, a dining room, and a pool. It's so cool, you will have fun, I have a nanny there also, just in case mommy and daddy want to go out and do grown up things." Cordelia told her friend.

"I can't wait to see it!" Buffy said excitedly.

"Well you don't have to wait any longer because we're here." He smiled at the blonde.

The windows rolled down and Buffy couldn't believe her little green eyes, it looked like a hotel or something. This place was awfully big, and it looked a little scary to her.

"It's big. I just hope I don't get lost." The blonde stated.

"You won't get lost, I will always help you find the way." Cordelia reassured her friend.

The car came to a complete start and before the doors could open Cordelia was already out the door followed by Buffy. Cordelia rang the doorbell and a tall, nice looking man answered the door.

"Welcome back Miss. Cordelia." The man with a British accent greeted the girl.

"Thank you Rupert, this is my best friend Elizabeth Summers, but we call her Buffy." She introduced her friend.

Rupert looked over at the little blonde girl and noticed her hesitation. He bent down to her level, Buffy stepped back a little. She was real shy around people she doesn't know.

"Hello, Miss Buffy. I'm not going to harm you little one, it's nice to meet you." He held out his hand for her to take.

She put her hand in his and began to shake it, "It's nice to meet you too Rupert." She gave him a smile. Something told her that he wasn't going to cause her no harm.

"Now would you like for me to show you to your rooms?" He asked the two girls.

"Yes." They both answered and began to follow Rupert.

First they stopped in Cordelia's room; it was just as dolled up as her room back in California was. It had a massive white brass canopy bed in the middle, the wallpaper was a pale purple, and the furniture was white with purple knobs and fixtures. To Buffy it was a room fit for a princess. Dolls were in the corners as well as stuffed animals and little knick knacks.

"Wow Cordy, your room is beautiful. It looks like something out of Laura Ashley." Buffy smiled.

"Laura Ashley is so passé." Cordelia told the girl, "Come on let's show you the room you'll be sleeping in."

Buffy followed Rupert and Cordelia to the room across from hers. Rupert opened the door and the two girls walked in. The room was just like Cordelia's except it was done in pink with butterflies. Buffy immediately fell in love with it, and sitting on the bed was a female pig.

"Why is there a female pig on the pillows?" She asked.

"You left Mr. Gordo at home, so mommy had them go out and get a Mrs. Gordo, so you wouldn't be scared."

Buffy went to hug her friend, Rupert had to walk away to keep himself from crying. The sight of those two together reminded him of how close he and his sister were. The bags were placed in Buffy's room and the two girls were left alone.

"So what do you want to do now?" Buffy asked.

"I want to show you the play room, we'll never get bored." Cordelia pulled the girl along.

A few steps later they were in front of another door, this one had the Disney Princesses on it. Cinderella, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Jasmine, Snow White, and Ariel. Cordelia opened the door and turned on the light. Buffy walked in eyes wide in surprised; there were more toys in here than FAO Schwartz. Barbie's, and castles, games, dolls, everything you could possibly imagine.

"This is one of my favorite rooms here; when I would get lonely I would come in here and play. Now that I have you here, I may not need it as much. Come on let's play."

The girls pulled out Monopoly Jr. and began to play. So far the day didn't turn out to be so bad, but Buffy missed her parents. She wondered what they were doing.

Antonio and Victoria went around the house trying to find the girls, they didn't have to look far. Inside the play room the girls were playing Monopoly and it seemed like Buffy was winning.

"I hate to break up your fun, but a certain little someone needs to call their parents. Plus you need to freshen up because we are going out to dinner tonight." Victoria told the two girls.

Victoria held out her hand for Buffy to take and led her out of the room.

"Are you having fun Buffy?" She asked the blonde.

"Yeah, I am, but I miss mommy and daddy though." She said softly.

"I know you do, if at anytime you want to go home, we'll let you go okay." She reassured the little girl.

"I don't want to go home just yet." She gave the elder woman a smile.

Victoria dialed the familiar number and handed the phone to Buffy. She left to give the girl some privacy.

"Hi mommy... yeah we just got here... uh huh everyone is super nice... no not yet, the sun has already set... We're getting ready to go out to dinner... I will... Where's daddy... Really?... Okay... I love you too." Buffy hung up the phone.

The blonde walked out of what she assumed was the family room and saw Cordelia waiting for her.

"Let's go get changed, we are leaving in a little bit."

The brunette and blonde walked down the hall hand in hand. They had the whole summer together, full of possibilities.

Ghostwriter- I hope this chapter was interesting for you also.

General Mac- Enjoy this chapter even more.

Alyson- It wouldn't be natural for them to be happy all the time, a little drama never hurts. Puerto Rico is always fun, I've been there plenty of times visiting family, sadly it's been a year since I've been back there.

To anyone else who reviewed I'm sorry I forgot you, keep reading and reviewing.
