Also i will get into how Buffy remembers IWRY. I know a few people asked me about that, I promise to get into that soon.

Happy reading :)

Two weeks had come and went and Buffy and the scoobies had yet to run into the Abyzou. She was starting to feel as if it made a quick pit stop into Sunnydale and made its way out of town. Buffy wouldn't have minded if that was the case her college homework was double of what her high school homework had ever been and she was starting to feel as if she was drowning in it. Also it did not help that she had started to become very ill at random times of the day sometimes it would be intense headaches or the strong urge to throw up and sometimes she did just that and on top of that she never felt as if she could get enough rest. At times willow would have to wake her in the middle of a lecture or she could feel her self dragging trying to stay awake while waiting for a new vampire to rise. She had assured herself that once she got the hang of her new life style as collage Buffy things would surely slow down.

Later that night

" I feel like we haven't been to the Bronze in ages!" Willow says as she and Buffy walk side by side down the streets of Sunnydale. "Yeah it has been a while hasn't ? With Giles having us on the look out for our new neighborhood demon who likes to insert itself into the body of children and the never ending collage assignments we haven't had much Bronze time." Buffy said thinking of all the busyness " Do you even think its still here in Sunnydale?" Willow asked Buffy "I'm not sure I mean there is a possibility but I feel like with me being the slayer i would have run into it by now. I even got ruff with Willy a few times to get some information and came up dry." " Okay well enough talking about our responsibilities and lets go have fun" Willow said as she and Buffy walked into the Bronze. They walked up to the bar and ordered there drinks and food "Willow Buffy! We are over here!!!!" Yelled Xander half way across the Bronze he and Anya had gotten there early and saved a table for themselves and the two other scoobies, Buffy and willow headed over to them. " Its a good thing you two had gotten here early or we would have had no place to sit!" Willow said with the sound of relief in her voice " Oh well ya know unlike you two Xander doesn't have much going on besides having sex with me of course and getting sweaty with all the digging he has to do for his job so getting here early was easy for him" Anya said matter of fact. " And there is an image I could have went-" Buffy couldn't finish her sentence because a wave of nausea hit her fast and hard she ran from the table all the way to the bathroom luckily for Buffy one stall was open and she was able to go inside and throw up what she had just eaten hours before. Willow had followed Buffy to make sure she was okay she had noticed Buffy not feeling well a lot and it was starting to worry her. As Buffy came out of the stall she made eye contact with Willow who was pulling mint gum out of her purse and handing it to her sick friend. " Sorry Will I hate to leave but I think I need to rest more then I need to be out dancing." Buffy said feeling horrible about ruining there night out " Are you sure its not just the stress from school making you sick? I know my mom has had tons of clients who were in college and would be so stressed they were showing signs of illness and with you being the slayer on top of that its just well double the stress and a care free night with your best friends is just the cure for such." Buffy hated letting Willow down and Willow had a point things had been extra stressful and she could suck up the feelings of being ill and spend time with her best friends. They spent the rest of the night dancing and having fun and Buffy's feelings of being sick were all behind her she was happy willow talked her out of leaving. The night was coming to a slow end and Anya and Xander were all over each other and Willow had met a sweet blonde girl named Tara that she seemed to be hitting it off with very well. " Hey Buffy would you like to join Tara and I for a late night coffee?" Willow asked sounding hopeful "Sorry Will i think i'll call it a night im exhausted and im thinking about crashing at moms with it being so close. But make sure to have fun and Tara it was nice to meet you." And with that Buffy walked out of the Bronze heading to Revello Drive.

The Next Morning

Buffy was woken up by a tapping on her bedroom door. "Buffy..?" It was Joyce "Yeah mom im awake come in." Buffy cracked her eyes open to see Joyce standing in her door way " You seemed pretty out of it the last four times I came up to check on you. I was starting to think you were in a coma." Joyce joked "Oh wow! yeah I've been pretty tired lately with school and slaying" Buffy said rubbing the sleep from her eyes and stretching out her body. " Well I was hoping if you didn't have any plans today you and i could do a little shopping in LA and go get some cupcakes at Sarah's Sweets and maybe grab a late dinner?" "Is that even a real question mom? A shopping spree with free food count me in no matter how tired im never to tired to shop!" Joyce stood up and smiled down at her daughter " Well if we are going to go we better leave in the next hour to beat traffic." Buffy was on cloud nine she had gotten herself an entire new wardrobe and she was so excited to go back to the dorm to show Willow all that she had gotten. It was now time to stop at Sarah's Sweets the place had a special spot in Buffys heart its where she and her parents would always go to celebrate special moments. " What do you plan on ordering today Buffy?" Asked Joyce "I'm not sure yet. Maybe the the fudge deluxe brownie." " Good choice Buffy I'll get the same" aid Joyce with a smile. Buffy and Joyce order their brownies and start eating " You know Buffy this was nice just having you and me time. I miss you, start coming around more... your old mom misses you" " I've missed you too but with being so busy its been hard to stop by but I promise to do it more often" The two Summers women finished up and made there way to get dinner at Panda Express. When buffy walked in the smell instantly made her want to gag she looked at her mom and sprinted out of the door. she tried to gain control of her stomach but she started to throw up. Just as she was finishing up Joyce walked over to her daughter " Buffy are you okay? Is there anything I can do?" concern thick in her voice '"Yeah you can take us back to Sunnydale and remind me never to step foot in a Panda Express again" Joyce took her daughter to the car and headed back towards Sunnydale. When they got in the house Joyce demanded Buffy go straight to bed and she would get her some warm soup. When Joyce had come back with her soup Buffy was already sleeping.

In another Dimension

"Sister we cannot take an innocent into our dimension and care for it that is what we have the champions for!" The male oracle said with much disgust and anger in his voice. "Brother you have read for yourself what it has said about the child. It has the power to tip the scale of good and evil depending on which it chooses to serve." The female oracle said fighting back "We shall not mess with such matters sister and I will hear no more of this." He walked away to tend to more important matters "If you wont help me I'll do what i must" The female said under her breath.

Back in SunnyDale

Buffy had spent most of her day laying in bed she was still feeling sick from time to time and with it being the weekend she was planning on taking advantage of having no classes and wasting the day away. "Do you and Tara have any plans today?" Buffy asked eyeing Willow from across the room. "I guess you could call them plans. Tara started her period so she's a little on the wanting to lay around and watch Hallmark mood." "Those sound like nice plans." Buffy said with a smile "Buffy you are more then welcome to come join if you want to. I don't want to make you feel left out at all." Willow said suddenly feeling guilty. " Thanks but no thanks with me not feeling well so randomly I wouldn't want to risk spoiling the fun with me throwing up." She gave her friend a weak smile. "Okay well I will be going to the store afterwards is there anything you need or want? " "Nope " Buffy said "Okay well I'm heading out I will see you later Buffy" and with that willow was gone and Buffy was left alone to hope and pray she did not throw up again. Buffy must have fallen asleep because when she looked out her dorm window it was pitch black and the time on the clock said it was 8:00 she got up and dressed for a night of slaying on as she stepped outside of her room she bumped into a vey firm chest. "I am soooo sorry i should have been looking where i was going." As she looked up to see it was the TA Riley Finn "Its fine buffy, " He said with a side smirk "I was actually on my way to see you." He said "Oh gosh im sorry I know I've been slacking a lot in class and I bet professor Walsh is upset but I promise to do better im just under a lot of stress, and now i see im rambling." Buffy said " Well im not here because of professor Walsh im here because I wanted to see if you would like to go on a date?" The TA said with a hopeful smile. He had taken Buffy by surprise she wasn't sure what to do or what to say " I mean if your not seeing anyone.." He said with more doubt that she would say yes. "Im not seeing anyone its just-" and before she could finish Buffy was seeing black and she could hear Rileys voice getting further and further away.
