Chapter 11: The plan

Buffy and Kennedy's room

Kennedy was the first to wake this morning and when she rolled over in bed she saw that Buffy was still fast asleep. Kennedy brought her hand up and slipped a piece of blonde hair back behind Buffy's ear. Kennedy believed that this was the best time to look at Buffy. Because all the worries of being a slayer, and having to defend the world from unspeakable evil just vanished away…it is when you finally see the real her.

That was the best thing about Buffy that Kennedy loves so much. During the day and a little into the night she would put so much into her slaying. Mostly because the world depended on it, but for other reasons too. But when Buffy would go to bed that night she would put it all to rest, until the morning. Kennedy lied there for another five minutes before she got up out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

Buffy opened her eyes when she heard the bathroom door closed. She sat up in the bed as she looked at the clock. It is eight in the morning, why the hell do I want to get out of bed? Buffy asked herself as she swung her legs over the side of the bed. She sat there for a few minutes before finally getting up and walking over to the closet. As she was weeding through her clothes looking for something to wear the bathroom door opened and Kennedy walked out in only a towel.

"That has to be the quickest shower you have ever taken," Buffy said still looking through her clothes. Kennedy walked over to where Buffy had decided to put her dresser. She opened it and quickly grabbed out an outfit. She changed into it and was ready for the day before Buffy had yet to pick out and outfit to wear. "How do you do that?" Buffy asked.

"Do what?" Kennedy asked confused as she walked back into the bathroom to brush her teeth.

"Just pick something to wear…just like that," she said with a snap of her fingers. "I mean I need to contemplate what it is I want to wear. I ask myself if everyone will like and if I'll get made fun of for wearing it," she said as she eyed another outfit.

"There's your answer," Kennedy asked as she walked up behind Buffy and wrapped her arms around her.

"Where?" Buffy asked.

"You car what other people think…were as I don't," she said with a smile. "I already have you so why care what other people think…" she trailed off as she placed her hand on the door knob. "See ya downstairs," she said as she walked out of the bedroom.

"Yeah," Buffy said to herself as she held up another outfit. "Humph," she said placing it back into the closet. "Why does this have to be so difficult?" she asked herself. Finally she decided on a blank tank top with a pair of ripped jeans. She smiled at her self as she started to change.

Downstairs Giles' office

They were all gathered in Giles' office waiting to hear the good news about what they were going to do about this latest evil threat. Kennedy was standing beside the chair that Buffy had taken once she came down from their room. Giles really didn't want to start the meeting without her. Even though they were all slayers everyone still answered to Buffy because she was the one that has been doing it the longest. The truth is that Kennedy gets angry when everyone blames her when she does something wrong, she been doing it for so long that she is allowed a few mistakes.

Kennedy looked around the room and saw that it was mostly only the main core of the Scoobie Gang, or at least those who weren't evil. Which were Giles, Cordelia, Anya, Xander and Buffy. For some reason they decided to let her come along. Kennedy seriously thought they other slayers thought she was dumb because everyone goes around talking behind her back, saying that the only reason that she is allowed to any of the meetings is because she is sleeping with Buffy…she really hopes none of that gets back to Buffy because she'll be pissed.

Buffy looked back at Kennedy as Giles sat in his chair and got ready to speak. You knew it was going to be a long drawn out boring speech when Giles sat down to talk. Anyway Buffy noticed the perplexed look on Kennedy's face so she reached back and held her hand soothing her down. Kennedy thinks that she doesn't hear the whispers that go around Slayer Central, but she does. Yeah it hurts her sometimes but other times she just lets it not bother her…she needs to teach Kennedy how to do that.

Cordelia and Anya went around Giles' desk to stand behind him, after all the plan was mostly their idea anyway. "Okay Giles, why are we all, did you finally figure out what it is we are going to do about out current situation?" Buffy asked.

"Actually yes I, we, did," Giles said as he motioned to Cordelia and Anya. "We have come up with a plan that could most possibly stop this latest evil threat." He said.

"But…" Kennedy trailed off. And when everyone looked at her she said, "What there is always a but," she said.

"But…the spell we will need to perform is very difficult," he said. "So we have to wait until the person we have performing it gets here, since the resident witch is currently unavailable," he said.

"So what's the plan?" Xander asked.

"It complicated," Cordelia said. "First we need to talk with the person performing to see if he will actually be able to do it…than we will let everyone know what is going on," she said.

"So you called us all in her just to tell us that you have a plan…but you can't tell us what it is," Kennedy said and Cordelia nodded. "Well…that was so not worth waking up for," she said as she turned and walked out of the office.

"Buffy maybe you…" Giles trailed off.

"I'll go cool her down," Buffy said as she also got up and walked out of the office as everyone else continued to talk about the plan that they weren't allowed to know yet.

Kennedy stormed out into the yard with Buffy right on her heels. "You know the whole storming off thing doesn't work when your girlfriend follows you," Kennedy said without turning around to look at Buffy.

"Ken listen I know your upset that they won't tells what they have planned, but the truth is that I really don't want to know," she said.

Kennedy spun around to look at her. "You don't want to know! Why not?" she asked.

"Because Giles knows that if it might hurt Willow, Angel, Spike, or Faith in anyway than I won't go for it. So I don't want to know until I have to so I don't have any other choice but to go along with it," she explained. "Why does this have you so upset?" Buffy asked.

"Because…" she trailed off. "Because I am afraid that they will tell you the plan and not me, that I will have to sit back and watch as you go out to save the world…and never come back," she said as she sunk to the ground. "I don't want to sit on the sidelines," she stated.

"I would never let that happen to you," Buffy said as she kneeled down in front of Kennedy. "Everything I know I will make sure that you know too. Because I've made the mistake of not telling people what's happening and trust me when I say it doesn't work out to well," she said with a smile.

Kennedy looked up into Buffy hazel eyes. "Why is it that every time I look at you my problems disappear?" she asked. Buffy shrugged. "Do you have any idea how much I love you?" she asked.

"No…but I know it's not more than I love you," Buffy said as she brought her lips to Kennedy's in a soft passionate kiss. "Now come on, let's get back in there," Buffy said as she stood up and extended her hand to Kennedy to help her up off the ground.

"As long as you promise that it won't be too boring," she said.

"I can't because I know it is going to be boring." Buffy said as her and Kennedy walked back into the house hand in hand. As Buffy and Kennedy walked back to Giles' office they received stairs from everyone. Buffy noticed that some of them were envious and some were jealousy stairs. She squeezed Kennedy's hand as they made their way.

They walked into Giles' office and once again everyone's eyes where on them but this time it was only for a second. "Sorry…I needed some air," Kennedy said as she let Buffy take her seat and she once again took her stance behind her.

There was a knock a everyone turned around to she as Angie peeked her head around the door. "I'm sorry to interrupt but Kennedy has a phone call," she said with a smile.

"Thank you Angie," Giles said as he nodded toward Kennedy. "She'll be right there," he added.

Kennedy smiles as she bent down to Buffy's ear. "Make sure you tell me what happen while I was on the phone," Kennedy said and she didn't she that Buffy rolled her eyes. She followed Angie out of Giles' office.

Angie led Kennedy to the phone and smiled as she walked away. Angie was one of the only ones that didn't have a problem with her and Buffy and that's why she liked her. "Hello?" Kennedy said into the phone.

"Kennedy it's your mother…we have good news," there was a pause. "You sister is back from Europe and she wants to see you," her mother said. Kennedy remained silent on the phone. "Kennedy?" her mother asked.

"I'll be there in a few days," Kennedy said before she hung up the phone. Instead of going back to Giles' office she made her way up to her room.

Meanwhile in Giles' office he was now discussing the plan. "We plan on bring every slayer back, from the dead and ones that we had sent on mission like Rona. They should be arriving in the states any time now." He paused. "Buffy you might want to go to Kennedy," he said.

"Why?" Buffy asked confused what her girlfriend had to do with this.

"Because her sister was a slayer," he paused. "She was turned and Kennedy was the one that killed her. She ended up just telling her mom that her sister went to Europe," he finished. That was all Buffy needed to hear before she ran out of the office and up the stairs. "This plan is still being perform and we have to wait for the last person to get her so he can perform the last part of the plan," Giles said. "Slayer Central is going to get even more crowded in the next few weeks." He said.
