Can't Forget

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters. Joss Whedon does. I only own the plot and the characters I make up. Most of these characters are real people that everyone knows and if you don't you must live under a rock. But if you've heard of these real people then I don't own them. They own themselves.

Summery: Seven years after she runs away she is forced back when she goes on a road trip with her best friends Sophia Bush and Sandra Bullock.

Chapter One

Buffy Anne Summers sighed and turned to her two best friends.

"Why did I let you two talk me into going on a road trip this summer?" Buffy asked her two best friends Sophia Bush and Sandra Bullock.

"Cause I gave you my puppy dog eyes mommy," Buffy's son Alex answers for his Aunts.

"That's right. Who can refuse Alex's puppy dog pout? No one is immune to that" Sophia grinned.

"Well now that we got that settled, can we hit the road?" Sandra asked.

"Sure," Buffy told her.

Everyone piled into the car and set out to get comfortable. Sandra sat in the drivers seat for the first shift. Buffy sat in the passengers seat. Sophia and Alex sat in the back of the car.

"Let's role," Sandra exclaimed hitting the wheel.

An hour later they're on the road. Alex and Sophia are asleep in the back of the car. Buffy sees the signs to Sunny Dale. She hopes to god that Sandra doesn't get hungry this time of night. She didn't want to go there during the day. It was a bad memory that she still had. She didn't want to relive that life. She was over being the slayer. She had a new life with her seven-year-old son and her boy friend Jay Roberts.

"I'm hungry. I'm going to get off this exit and get some food," Sandra points towards the Sunny Dale exit.

"Why don't we get off at the next exit this is a small town," Buffy says.

"Small town's have the best food," Sandra said and gets off before Buffy could object any more.

They drive around the town until they see a restaurant that just so happened to be right next to the Magic Box. Sandra pulled up in front of the restaurant and got out. Buffy got out as well. Sophia woke up when they stopped as well. Buffy opened the door to where Alex sat. She woke him.

"Are we at a hotel mommy?" Alex asked.

"No. We stopped at a restaurant because Aunt Sandra got hungry," Buffy explained.

"Okay."

Buffy stood up and took Alex's hand. She met up with Sophia and Sandra on the sidewalk. They entered the restaurant. They were seated and given menus. Buffy looked around. She hadn't been here in Seven years. Her eyes locked on Willow, her old best friend. She was sitting with Xander, Oz, Cordelia, and another brunette. The brunette caught her staring and Buffy turned back to the conversation at hand with her friends. The waiter came over and they all got the salad bar. Unfortunately the salad bar was right next to where her old friends were sitting. Alex got up from the table.

"I can get my food all by myself. Do you want to see?" Alex asked.

When he asked this they all knew they should watch from the table. But she hoped that this time he didn't talk to anybody. Cause that's what he usually did. He usually went past tables saying 'HI my mom's famous.' Alex walked past her friends got to the salad bar safely. He put his favorites on his plates. Which included Chicken Nuggets, French Fries, Pizza, and mozzarella sticks. Coming back was a different story. Alex fell to the floor grasping his throat. Mother mode over road her worries. She got his inhaler and ran over to him. He took it from her and breathed in deeply. When he could finally breathe she took him into a big hug.

"Don't ever scare me like that again," Buffy told her son.

She didn't realize at this moment her friends were staring at her in surprise.

"I'm sorry Mommy."

Xander and Willow's mouths fell open at the word mommy. Cordelia's just about hit the floor. Oz's expression stayed neutral as usual. Buffy took Alex by the hand and led him back to the salad bar. Sophia and Sandra were up there too. They got their food and sat at the table in silence. Buffy looked up and saw her friends walk by the table. Willow looked at her sadly. Buffy immediately knew she had been spotted. She wouldn't be surprised if they tried to find her at her hotel room tonight. Which wouldn't be impossible seeing as there was only one motel room. When they were done Buffy paid the bill and they headed out to the car.

"I'm too tired to drive why don't we stay the night," Sandra said.

Buffy didn't argue. She knew Sophia was tired. And Buffy couldn't drive because she was a horrible driver. So they went to the hotel and got ready for bed.
