Six months had passed since Angel's demise, and slowly but surely Buffy moved on with her life; Willow and Alexander had given her part-time work, first as a general construction laborer and then as a retail clerk.
Joyce was delighted at the responsible turn in the young woman's life, not yet told by her daughter of the Slayer Destiny that dominated life. A big shock was the immediate uncovering of Ted as a robot of sorts, but they'd covered it up by Selma reprogramming it to bid Joyce a fond farewell before seeming to relocate across country for a new job.
After giving his previous victims a decent burial, Willow and Xander had shocked the other Scooby members by ordering more parts and when using new technology were able to get six Ted-bots up and running, though with different voices, faces and a definite lack of interest in relationships.
And at Christmas, at some cost and effort, they surprised Selma by presenting to her a robotic body in her image into which they could place her credit card self and provided her with a physical avatar. The woman was delighted, and was soon established as the business manager of the enterprise. As a joke on Giles, the other robots also had British accents, as well as fairly detailed but hard to verify backgrounds.
Soon, the young couple was able to ease up on the long hours, and with the new robots available after hours, Buffy soon had support to take out nests, conduct small-scale tactical sweeps and make use of rarely used hunting instincts of the Slayer. Giles himself was delighted at the ability to expand her training, as it also would prove less debilitating to his body, and the group as a whole became quite proficient in Mosh-Ti, the futurist martial arts blend that served Darien so well in police work of 2193.
Drusilla seemed content to rebuild her strength and make a name for herself in Cleveland; apparently there was a lesser Hellmouth there, and after careful sifting of Watcher files, the existence of Kendra came to light.
That Slayer proved quite successful; apparently Drusilla had begun to collect parts of a nasty demon called the Judge; since no weapon forged by man could end the beastie, Kendra lit a gas line and the falling four-story building not only crushed, but squished and mushed and reduced to far littler parts that danger. Drusilla, vowing vengeance, somehow escaped and continued to make life difficult.
But toward the end of April, Watcher Samuel Zabuto communicated to Giles that Slayer Kendra had begun to have Slayer dreams of Drusilla and a small army of vampires sweeping into Sunnydale and somehow sucking the world into Hell itself. As Buffy had reported a few dreams of great uneasiness, but nothing definitive, Giles suggested that the Cleveland contingent come to Sunnydale as a precaution.
In the six months following Angel's unexpected demise, the circle of friends in the know increased, Amy Madison and then Jonathan Levinson being identified and recruited as apprentices to the Watcher and the revealed-Romany. It seemed better to guide and train a pair of magic-users growing up on a Hellmouth, rather than later find out they'd gone 'Dark Side.'
Alexander smiled as he recollected Willow's unwilling inclusion into the magician group:
"But Xander, I have so much work to do already…'
"Willow, I'm not asking you to use it all the time…just attend the sessions so we understand it better. Who knows, you might find you like it."
"Alright, Mister, but that means you need to show me a lot more affection so I don't start thinking I'm unattractive, ya know, cause of warts and all."
"You know, don't ever stop being my Willow…"
