Chapter 1- Happy Birthday Christine!

She gets up and out of her antique bed kind of groggy. Still exhausted from the night-mare. She pays no attention to anything in her cript -like stone room. Which is decorated with posters like any other teen's room. She walks across the hall to the bath room. Knocks and then hearing no one in there enters. She looks in the mirrow there isn't anything there...Oh well she thinks it's not like it's a wonder or anything. She splashes water on her face and looks up. Now that is surly better. She stars at the sink mirrow and wonders what her relection would look like. Brown hair with red and black parts to it. She often wishes her hair would pick a color and stick to it. Her green eyes so unlike her parents. Her pale skin and round-ish face. Only 11 and already 5 foot 7. Her coton t-shirt and pj pants with stars on it. Her slight-brish accent. Better flee before mom gets up and barges in here...BANG, BANG,...too late.

Annoyed but, not surprised she replys;"Mom chill it's not like the world restes on you using the loo."

Her mother yells her typical wine,"Chirstine Willow Angelious-Summers you'v got 5 mintes to get dressed and up-stairs before YOUR WORLD restes on me using the BATHROOM!",says Buffy Angelious-Summers.

Ouch! Chris (as her mom fully knows she prefres) hurries up and exits the loo. Then dashes across the hall and picks out some clothes from her wardrobe. A big pair black gothic pants that look two-times her size and a SuperMan t-shirt that looks a size too small. Toped off with white skater shoes (DC's of course) and a black sweatshirt-jacket. Her pants are only meant to look that big; in reality they fit her waste nicely. She also picks up her skate-board. For good measure she grabes her bag of gear. Which has her roller blades helemet and knife. You can't be too careful after all.

Finaly ready she gets on the elevader swipes her security /ID card which is always around her neck and is allowed to choose any floor she wishes. It's good to have high security clearance. She presses a big number 2 marking the floor that is the living quaters of thos who actualy live in the buidling. Which is basicaly the living room, dining room, and kitchen. However given the number of people who live there it's pretty big. It takes up one whole floor. The second floor of the building. To make up for the lack of windows in there rooms. It is all done in wood like an actual house. About four regular sized class rooms gutted.

She enters into a spacious room with a kitchen at the near left cornor and the rest living room and dinning room space.

However she dosn't get the chance to see any of that because the minute she steped off the elevader and into the room everyone yells, "SURPISE CHRISTINE!", at the top of there lungs.

Time seems to slow-down for her. She steps fully into the rooms. She looks at her mother and father with big stupid grins on there faces. She then looks at her Aunt-Dawn and Uncle Xander with his arm around Dawn's waist who is laughing. Then to her extented family Aunt Willow and Aunt Kennedy both thinking it's hilarious. Faith is even there along with a few others. Not to mention her brother Connor. They bring out the big birthday cake for her with the words To Hogwarts or Bust written on it underneath Happy Birthday Christine! Cause she had gotten her Hogwarts letter just a few days ago and the day after tommrow she would be going to Diagon Ally to get her school supplies. She had comptly forgotten about her own birthday in the exitment, but aparntly the Scoobies hadn't. The Scoobies her family.

Suddlenly amongst all the cheers as they light the candles she wonders why the sun dosn't bother her father. Then she reambers that the glass is coated with some material to project her father. All she needs is sun-block to project her from the sun's rays. Then after thinking that she suddenly become faint. All around her family panics. Eveyone else is stunned. Connor being nearest to her and standing to her right emidiatly is on his knees next her. He cradles her head in his lap and lisens for the shallow breaths that mark a breathing Chris. Buffy is down next to him on his left with Angel on his right.

Breathless Buffy askes,"Do you think she is okay?"

Connor replies, "Yeah I think she is just dehydrated and in need of her medicine." Not daring to take his eyes off his little sister in case he happens to be wrong.

Angel taking quick control says,"Okay then let's take her down to the infirmary to make sure."
