"Thank God," Spike sighed as Buffy opened her eyes.

"Hey, what happened?" Buffy groaned. "I feel like I was run over or something."

"Faith's little demon showed up on Patrol and knocked you and Faith out." Spike explained. "Luckily, Will convinced Jenny to help save you and Violet made a powerful healing draft. You should be feeling better in a few days."

"Jenny, came to save us?" Buffy asked stunned.

"She's a good little Slayer, green is all," Spike assured her.

"Guess I need to thank her." Buffy tried sitting up, "in a few days." She sighed as she put her head back on the pillow.

"I'll bring her up to talk to you. Everybody, but Angel, Faith, and Cody are downstairs worried sick about you." Spike told her.

"Is Faith okay?" Buffy asked worried.

"She'll be fine, no magical coma can keep her down. Angel just wanted to let her wake up in her own bed." Spike joked. "I'll call why I'm downstairs just to check on her." Spike kissed her on the forehead before heading towards the door.

"I don't know what I'd do without you." Buffy smiled at him as he turned back around.

"Learning a few mind reading tricks Luv," Spike looked at her.

"It wasn't that difficult to figure out. I know my job is dangerous, but I can't just give it up." Buffy told him.

"No, but maybe the next generation could carry on in your place." Spike hinted as he went downstairs to get Jenny.

"How are you feeling?" Jenny asked as she walked into the older Slayer's room.

"Better, thanks to you and Violet. I heard you came to rescue us." Buffy smiled at the young Slayer.

"Seems like even when I try to stay away from people they get hurt." Jenny agreed. "I'm sorry I yelled at all of you like that. I was just shocked that there is a whole group of Demon Fighters that I didn't even know about. Kind of destroys that whole secret identity pact I made with my Watcher and my mother." Jenny apologized.

"Slaying is a rough gig," Buffy agreed, "Which is the reason why we have a group of people to help watch our backs. I can't force you to train with us or let us help you patrol. What I can tell you is I would have died a lot more than twice if I didn't have the support system downstairs."

"So, assuming you're a hundred percent by next week, do you want to train me?" Jenny asked. "I realized tonight how little I actually know about the whole Slayer lore. My Watcher died and I didn't stick around San Antonio long enough for the Council to send me a new one. I was hoping to hide from being a Slayer, but I know now that fate brought me here for a reason and I want to find out what that reason is."

"Monday afternoon after school in the Magic Box, bring gym clothes." Buffy smiled at the young girl as Jenny ran over and hugged her.

"Thank you," Jenny cried," You won't regret this." Jenny bolted out the door as Spike walked back in.

"How's Faith?" Buffy asked Spike.

"She's waking up now." Spike assured her.

"What's wrong?" Buffy asked him. "I can always tell when you're hiding something bad from me." She told him worriedly as he sat down next to her and held her hand.

"Faith is paralyzed. We aren't sure if it's permanent, but she's pretty bad." Spike held Buffy as she started sobbing.

"Thank you," Eddie said as he ran after Jenny as she was leaving the house. "It means a lot that you helped."

"Eddie, your mom is going to start training me. I honestly don't know what's going to happen in my life, but there are two things I do know." Jenny stepped closer to Eddie. "I'm a Slayer, so a lot of people I care about are going to die and that is no excuse to shut people out of my life."

"What's the second thing you know?" Eddie asked.

"That I like you" Jenny kissed him, "and hopefully at some point I will be able to tell you and your brother apart."

A/N Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but Final Projects in all my classes came early this year. I may post again before Dec. 15. If not I won't be able to post until I come back after New Years, but I will keep writing and a whole new sub-plot is going to be developed. All my love and Holiday wishes go to my readers and reviewers.
