Note: I got this stuck in my head after I watched the movie. So I thought it'd be fun to do. Hope you enjoy. I do not own blah blah blah so don't even start with the legalities.

Chapter 1

Faith

I sat staring out the window watching the clouds swiftly rush by as we descended. Soon I could see the city below. New York. I recognized the Empire State Building in the distance. It was weird not seeing the World Trade Center anymore. Hey, I may have dropped out of school but that didn't mean that I was a complete dumbass. Dawn was excited like always when we traveled. The three of us were taking a well-earned vacation. Buffy had a relative in the city that she made arrangements to stay with. I broke the silence between us at last.

"So B, what does your aunt do for a living?"

"She's a news reporter."

"Yeah, she's the best in the city," Dawn chimed in. "She was even offered a job at the network but turned it down."

"I'm sure she had a good reason," Buffy said.

Once we landed we took a cab to where Buffy's aunt lived. It was a high-rise apartment building. Looked a little on the ritzy side. Her aunt had to be making some mad cash to afford this place. We took the elevator up to the third floor and stopped at a door marked 315. Buffy knocked and a moment later a woman in her early thirties answered.

"Buffy!" he smiled and pulled her into a hug.

"Hi. I know we're early."

"Oh no, that's okay. I already got everything set up for you. Hi Dawn, how are you?"

"Fine," she said.

I coughed, reminding them that I was there. "I'd hate to break up such a sweet reunion, but -"

"Oh sorry," Buffy apologized. "Aunt April, this is my friend Faith. Faith, I'd like you to meet my aunt, April O'Neil."
