Chapter One
Things are finally gonna get interesting...

"Liam, Elisabeth! Time to go learn."

"But mo-om!"

"No buts. You have to go to school, so you're going to school. It is important. You have got to learn and blend in with the rest of humanity. I guess you could have gone to Hemery, but you would both be at risk for getting seen by your dad- plus the last name thing would set something off with my colorful record." Buffy replied, "even though no one would ever believe you were related to me do to age." What she didn't mention was that most people just gossiped and didn't bother putting simple facts together.

"We don't want to go to Hemery anyways," Her son said, edging his voice but not really serious.

"You're not going to. You're gonna go to a school in Ventura. It's on the other side of LA, and we can keep one of the portals open for there." Anne told them, half annoyed. They kept bring up that damn school. She knew the Slayer didn't like it there at all, even when she was 'just a little normal girl.' ... though in truth, she never was that.

"Cool!" The twins said together.

"Yeah. Now come on, you're gonna be late for registration. You'll be nine next month. And remember, you've been home schooled so far." Buffy said, trying to get to them.

"We have." They said smart-mouthly.

"Yeah Buffy. They have been home schooled so far." Anne said, copying them, determined not to let her annoyance show and joining in on the fun.

"Don't be smart-asses; I'm just making sure it's screwed into your brains pretty tight." She said to them. They were using the put that they go from her. Too bad for them that she was immune to it.

"Mom! There's an owl at the window!" One of the Summers twins yelled, two years since they started going to an elementary school in Ventura.

"Now, I've seen everything. First Griffin," she said, speaking of the phoenix that appeared before Buffy died, "and now her." Anne said, looking at the owl. She had heard from her friend about the wizarding world, but hearing and seeing are two very different senses.

"No you haven't." Buffy said knowingly. Buffy's eyes twinkled as she unfastened the letters, already knowing where and who the four of them were from.

"Hey, B. Heard you died." Faith said. Buffy looked up and allowed the younger Slayer to look her in the eyes. "Damn. Are you gonna tell them?" Faith always had been one of the only few who could even reach behind her shields, though only when it suited her.

"No... Faith." Looking at the girl who was calmed down some and sort of divided within herself as she wore the feminine prison stripes that weren't nearly as slimming as actresses on the television made it look. "Uh, do you have any sisters?" Buffy asked, seeing a sudden similarity between her and another 'sister.'

"Yeah, but I haven't seen her since my watcher took me out of the house. I kinda miss her." Faith frowned when she said that, having never talked with anyone but her long-dead watcher about her home life previous to slaying.

"Right." Buffy was quiet for a moment before she made up her mind. "Well, there's this girl..." and she began to tell edited story of how she met Hope in LA before she had ever met Faith.

"Damn." the dark haired inmate said in a breath, not really sure how to take it, or how she was knowing that her sister, her flesh-and-blood sister, was nearby. Buffy knew how she felt, having found Dawn, but known of James.

"Yeah."

"There's something else, isn't there?" She said, recognizing the look on the older slayer's face for what it was.

"Yeah. It's Dawn, we never told anyone else, but...

"Whoa." Faith breathed again, having just been revealed to about the Key, an interdimensional force that held all of the worlds together.

"Yeah."

"So, is that all you're here to say?"

"No. How long is it gonna take you to get out of those clothes?"

"Huh?"

"It's gonna be a long ride, and I have a lot to tell you sis."

"Huh?"

"You were a minor when you did the crimes, so I persuaded them that you did enough time."

"B." Faith began, completely shocked at her 'big sis' and

"Shut up Faith, and let's go. I got a lot to tell you." She thought about her children and about the look on Faith's face. Then she laughed, loud and hard, for the first time not around her kids in years.

The point of having mostly dialogue and not other crap is to make it look longer and flow fast. I tried to do that with this a long time ago but it is quite annoying to me so I've been fixing it. Tell me how you think it looks. Ps. it is 3:13 am on the tenth of July, 2008.
