continue with the story.
July2002 Chapter One
Not much happens in a town like Sunnydale, so when a new face appears in the scene gossip and speculation spread like wildfire in the small town. Though most have not seen the new addition yet, many already look forward to meeting the man that has bought the enchanting jewel of a home The Crawford Mansion. The mansion built in the 1920's by the eccentric Mr. Crawford as a gift for his wife had long been left unoccupied because of the price tag. But the new man in town had fallen in love with the architecture of the house, the elaborate maze-like gardens, and the wondrous view of the whole town below, so in love was he that he didn't even bother asking what the price was before he said he would take it. Or at least that was what Jenny Calendar, the town realtor, told her sister and her family.
"So someone finally bought the old place, I didn't think I would see the day," replied Giles Summers when he heard his sister-in-law's news.
"Congratulations Jenny! You must have made quite a commission on the sale," said Joyce Summers to her sister. Rounds of congratulations were made by the Summers' daughters toward their aunt around the kitchen table.
"Thank you Joyce, Girls! Yes I did. But I will not be the only one benefiting from this young man's arrival to town. When he asked for some names of local shops where he could find the right furniture and artwork to fill up his new home, the Mystical World was one the first places that I recommended to him." Said Jenny with a coy smile.
"You didn't!" beamed Joyce, as she hugged her sister, "Thank you so much Jen! This will be great business for the shop. Don't you think Giles?" Giles just muttered behind his newspaper, "Right good for Business." "Oh don't mind him Jenny, he would much rather study the items in the gallery then sell them. So what is the name of this wonderful young man, so I will know how to greet him when he stops by?"
Glad to be able to help her sister Jenny happily replied, "His name is Daniel Osborne, but he prefers to be called Oz. His father was a very wealthy businessman, and he himself is a successful owner of a record label in LA. He wanted to buy a home in a small town, so that when he gets tired of the fast-paced life of the music industry he could come here to get away from it all."
"Is he married?" asked Joyce.
"I can't believe your asking that question Mom," said her second- eldest daughter Buffy, who already knew the reason behind the question.
Jenny also knowing the reason just smirked. "No Joyce he isn't married. In fact he doesn't even have a girlfriend, so he is very single. I can't imagine why though, he seems to be quite the catch. Intelligent, charming, not to mention handsome, what girl wouldn't want him."
"Oh Auntie Jen don't encourage her," sighed Buffy.
"Encourage me to do what Buffy? To think maybe this guy has the potential to swept one of my daughters away, to marry and settle down with her, so that I can finally have those grandchildren I have been dreaming about." Said Joyce.
A round of "Mom!" could be heard throughout the kitchen. "On that note I think it's time I get to the youth center I have a class to teach at ten. Willow do you need a ride to work?"
"Sure thanks Buffy," replied Willow.
"How bout you Dawn?"
"No thanks Buffy, I think I will catch a ride to school with Faith and Kendra." Said Dawn.
"Faith will you be making an appearance in class, or is all that money I'm spending for your college education going to waste?" said Giles without looking up from his newspaper.
Shrugging, and not fully awake from the late night partying, Faith just said "Maybe."
"Don't worry Father, I will make sure Dawn and Faith makes it to their classes on time," said Kendra. Giles just looked up, raising an eyebrow and just said "hmm"
"Come on Willow or we will be late!" yelled Buffy as she stepped out the door to reach her car.
"Coming!" Willow replied as she rushed to catch up with her sister. Just as the car was starting, Joyce rushed out and yelled, "Buffy remember to be at the shop by 2:30, your father and I are going to drive to LA to see your aunt and uncle!"
"Alright mom!" could be heard throughout the neighborhood as the car raced off.
Later in the day
Mystical World, the local art and antiques shop in town owned by the Summers' family, was filled with happy customers leaving the store as Faith and Dawn entered looking for their parents. Both sisters were closest with each other, though no one would guess at first glance. With her trademark leather clothes and an air of mischief, Faith could be mistaken for a biker chick, her makeup as dark as the night sky. While Dawn had a tone of innocence to her look, often dressed in pastels or floral patterns her makeup lightly done she tend to look like an angel. Though very different from each other they were each others best friend and had the common interests of shopping, boys, and parties.
"Hey B..." said Faith as she saw her sister at the register. "Just a moment Faith," as Buffy finished up with a customer, "There you go Jonathan; I hope your wife enjoys the painting." Both Faith and Dawn admired their older sister's dedication to work, but they would never be caught dead telling her that. They usually tease her about being a workaholic.
"Yeah me too, Thanks again Buffy for the suggestion. Bye." As He was leaving the store, a round of hellos and goodbyes were made between him and the two other Summers sisters.
"Finally I'm free. Just my luck that I work by myself the one day the shop is swamped with customers," sighed Buffy, "so why are you guys here, you usually don't come by unless you need something."
"I'm offended sis," replied Faith in a fake hurt tone, "we just come by to check in with our hardworking parents and sister." Buffy just gave her a look that said 'Sure Faith try again'. "Alright, you know us to well. Fine, we were hoping to catch mom before she left and ask for money for new clothes and accessories."
"Ha, like mom would have given you any money with dad over her shoulder. And dad would have then given his lecture on how you guys should manage your monthly allowances better or to get a job. Anyway they left for Uncle Xander's early this afternoon, mom just called a few minutes ago to say they had arrived."
"Oh really, how is Aunt Anya and Andrew doing?" asked Dawn happily. 'I can't wait to see him' The thought of her new baby cousin, brought a smile to her face. Being the youngest of the Summer sisters, Dawn always enjoys when her little cousins come to visit so that she gets a chance to play big sister.
"Mom says their both doing fine, says Andrew's has the cutest button nose," chuckled Buffy, she felt bad for poor Andrew being the only boy in their family 'I hope he doesn't grow up with issues surrounded by so many women', "But she is a bit worried about Kennedy. Seems she's not doing to well with all the attention on the new baby."
"Really? That's strange when I was talking with her a few months ago she said she was so excited that her mommy would be having a baby. Said that she was glad she won't be an only child anymore." Said Dawn.
Faith just huffed and said, "I think the little princess expected a little sister and is disappointed to have a brother. Plus, I don't think she expected to lose daddy's undivided attention." 'Kennedy is a monster I don't see why the others can't see it.'
"Be nice Faith she's our little cousin. I'm sure Kennedy didn't mean to bite you that time." Buffy said with a straight face, while inside she wanted to laugh at the face Faith was making.
"Yeah right, like how she didn't mean to spill her drink on my new shirt, or the time she didn't mean to break my bracelet, or put gum in my hair, or..." replied Faith on a rant.
Laughing, "Stop...stop...I get it," said Buffy, "you and Kennedy will never get along. But you know you have to be the bigger person since she is only eight." Faith just replied with an "hmm."
"Well I've never had any problems with her, in fact I enjoy playing with her when she comes to visit," said Dawn with an all too sweet smile toward her older sister. Faith just glared at her.
"So why did you guys need money for anyway?" asked Buffy as she began closing up the store. 'I can't wait to go home to a nice bath.'
"Oh, we want to show off at the Bronze before it closed for a while." Told Faith as she helped her sister close the shades by the window. 'And of course to meet some hot guys to hook up with.'
"Really?" asked Buffy as she locked the back doors, "I thought the annual fumigation party was months away?"
"Haven't..." "Haven't you heard..." cutting Faith off Dawn replied, "that guy mom and Aunt Jenny were talking about this morning, Mr. Osborne, just bought the Bronze from Willy."
"Really? Never thought Willy would sell the place." Said Buffy as the three stepped out side and Buffy locked the door.
"Are you kidding me Buff? You heard what Aunt Jenny said about how the guy just dropped a ton of money for the old mansion, he did the same for the Bronze. Willy would have to be very stupid not to take the offer." Stated Faith.
"Hmm...when you put it that way I guess your right," Buffy said as they headed home. "But why is he having the placed closed down?"
Dawn answered, "Oh Mr. Osborne wants to remodel it, and make it more like those upscale clubs in LA. He plans to have some big bands play there."
"Hmm...I wonder if the new addition will add some life to this sleepy old town." Said Buffy.
The next night
Wanting to enjoy the little nightlife in existence in Sunnydale before the Bronze closed, the Summers sisters, excluding Kendra, decided to dress up and go to the club. They were the most beautiful girls there: Willow had on an orange tie front top with a long flowing skirt, her long auburn hair flow naturally down her back adorned with only a simple flower clip; Buffy wore a sleek black halter jumpsuit with matching heels, her blond hair softly curled; Faith's outfit consist of a sexy barely there red tube top with black leather pants, her brunette hair left wild; Dawn wore a simple cherry printed dress with flutter sleeves, gathered neckline with ribbon tie, and fluid skirt, her long brunette hair was adorned with baby breath flowers. They were never without a dance partner since ever young man in the club wanted to dance with a stunning Summers sister. While Faith and Dawn choose to dance ever dance of the evening, Buffy and Willow sat out during the slow songs to talk with their good friend Winfred Burke, or Fred as she likes to be called.
"So Willow how are your little students doing?" asked Fred when the three had found an empty table to seat at.
Beaming she replied, "Wonderfully! The little kids are so well- behaved. I haven't had any trouble with them. And I really think they are enjoying my lesson on the first colonies in America, I've been telling them about the pilgrims. I wish I could teach them more but summer school is ending soon." 'Little kids are so wide eyed with innocence and they have such inquisitive minds, I can't wait to when I have my own children'
Laughing Buffy asked, "Will have you been telling the kids about how the pilgrims arrive had disastrous results for the Native Americans and how the first thanksgiving wasn't as peaceful as it's been portrayed?" Fred also laughed, while Willow just scowled at her sister. 'You do something one time and they never let you forget'
"Ha ha very funny Buffy, and anyway I've learned my lesson that the school board frowns at such open honesty toward young children. So Fred how's the life of a physicist's? Last time we spoke you said you were helping Dr. Morgan with a project how's that going?"
Looking at anywhere but them Fred softly answered, "Well...how to say...not good. I kind...kind of made a small accident, and well Lilah...she's well banned me from the school labs."
"Oh I'm so sorry Fred," Buffy said as she and Willow gave her a hug.
"It's alright. Right now I'm spending my time writing a thesis paper on what I did wrong in the experiment for Lilah. She says once she's sure I'm ready she will let me go back into the labs." Fred said. "Enough about my mess, how are you Buffy? You must be so busy with the youth center and managing the Mystical shop for your parents?"
Buffy sighed and said, "You have no idea. The shop was filled all day with customers. I'm just so glad my parents come back Sunday night I don't think I could handle the shop by myself much longer. Plus Robin has giving me extra responsibilities at the center. I'm now in charge of not only self- defense class, but dance and singing. On top of all that we are taking the kids on field trips to local landmarks, picnics at the beach or park."
"Oh Buffy your running yourself ragged. You should tell Robin not to give you so many classes," said a worried Willow. 'I wish Buffy would slow down she always takes so much upon herself to do'
"It's fine Will. The center is understaffed at the moment, and anyway I enjoy all the time I spend with the kids. I love to see the spark in their eyes when they are having fun learning something new. Anyway with the summer session almost over Dawn says she will take over my singing class. Hey since it seems you both have some free time coming up why don't you help out at the center over the rest of summer too?" stated Buffy.
"Sure I would love to help out count me in Buffy!" replied Fred with a smile.
"Me too Buffy, but since me and Fred aren't as physically ept as you, I think we would mostly likely take over your chaperoning duties for field trips," said Willow as Fred nodded in agreement.
"That sounds great guys' thanks!" Buffy gives each a hug. "That means I have time to start an art class!" With that comment both Fred and Willow groaned and cry out "Buffy!!" Buffy just laughs and assures them she can handle it all.
"Buffy you always take on too much," Fred states, "why don't you ask Faith and Kendra to help out too?"
"Are you kidding me? They are lost causes. Once school ends Faith will be dividing her time with sleep and partying, while Kendra will be either locked in her room or at the library studying. This being her last year, Kendra is determined to be at the top of her class. She thinks that will ensure her spot in the medical schools of her choice." Stated Buffy, she loved her sisters but she knew how they would be.
"That explains why I've seen even less of Kendra then usually. I know she is your sister and all but she has never been the most social person around," said Fred. Being so close to the Summers sisters Fred was practically the sixth sister, and she cared deeply for the well being of all in her surrogate family.
"I know," Willow began, "I'm worried about her, I've tried telling her she has to get out more and have fun. She won't listen. I even told her that the medical schools are looking for applicants who are well rounded individuals. She just says she knows what she is doing and not to worry." Being the eldest, Willow has the job of watching out for all her little sisters-she loves her sisters- even though they usually drive her up a wall with their antics.
Sighing in agreement, "I know Will," Buffy said, "but you know how focused Kendra becomes when she has a goal. She is just very set in her ways. All we can do is hope this is just a faze that she will get over, that it won't ruin her chances for a good school, and try to offer any help we can. Accepting our help is Kendra's choice." Loved by her family, Kendra is still the black sheep not quite fitting with either her older sisters or younger sisters, perhaps its because she is the middle child. For whatever the reason Kendra tends to keep to herself and focused on her studies.
"I hope your right Buffy," a still worried Willow said.
"Come on lets stop all this yapping, I hear our song," stated Buffy as a fast song began to play. The three headed toward the dance floor and began dancing the night away letting the music surround them guiding them to new paths in life.
