Sunnydale, ca.
Greenlee pov.
These kids are practically angels. Ok so that would be a lie but not totally. They are angels sometimes. They are sweet and they don't annoy the hell out of you. Then again it helps that they are not really kids. More like teenagers with childlike tendencies Oh like last week when they put vinegar and baking soda in somebody's shampoo bottle. I think it was Maggie's But she acts just like them. She put baking soda in the ketchup bottle and Erica just happened to be having French fries. Oh and Faith and Christian tried to cook us dinner one night. Sweet kids really they should just really leave the kitchen alone. It was defenseless. And the food was horrible. Kendall was trying to be nice so she ate more than the rest of us. Those two took one bite and asked themselves what the hell they were trying to do to everyone. So yeah they are not allowed in the kitchen anymore. Now we've met this Buffy girl. She's sweet, pretty, and the slayer. I thought Kendall was joking when she told me about vampires and everything along time ago. Then again it does explain those strange happenings you hear about on the news. But anyway, Buffy passed with flying colors for Kendall. Me and Erica on the other hand have to check her more thoroughly. I think the only reason she won Kendall over is because she can cook. And well Kendall loves to eat. Right now we're waiting for 'the super scoobs' as faith calls them, to get home from school. Gunn called us twenty minutes ago and said they had some big news.
"So how do you all feel about this Buffy girl?" Erica asks randomly.
"Don't know yet but Faith likes her so I guess she'll be ok in my book." I say. She nods.
"I agree." she says.
"Thank goodness. Now you two can stop badgering the poor girl. You too Bianca, she is not and I repeat, not going to hurt Faith." Maggie says. Bianca is about to say something when Kendall puts up her hand.
"I agree with the small fry here. All of us love them all and we want to protect them but I think Faith is safe. Now lets move on to this Mercedes girl Christian was talking about. Shall we?" we all look at each other and nod.
"No you don't! No planning nothing!" we hear Chris say.
"Huh?" Erica asks trying to sound innocent.
"Nuh uh granny, the only time you guys nod at the same time you're planning something. Don't." he says. Sometimes it's like we're the children. Kendall waves him off.
"What ever kiddo. So what's this news?" she asks and we turn to them all expectantly. They all push Faith forward.
"Ow quit shoving me will ya?" she says to one of them. "Um...Hehe...you guys are lookin the first girl on the sunnydale high football team in the history of this town." she says looking down scuffling her foot on the floor. Maggie jumps up.
"Holy shit! Sorry but congrats munchkin!" she says going to hug Faith. I can hear Faith mumbling something about how its no big deal. Then Bianca, Kendall, and Erica jump in.
"Oh hell no! You might get hurt!" they all say at the same time. I roll my eyes.
"That is Erica, Bianca, and Kendall speak for congratulations Faith." I say getting up to go hug her. It still kinda shocks me that she'll let me hug her. She doesn't trust to many people. But I'm on of the ones she does and I'm honored.
"I am sorry but my grandchild will not play a sport like that. Suppose she gets seriously injured? Then what? She'll be hurt and in the hospital." Erica says exasperatedly. Faith just grins and does what she does best. The puppy dog pout. The lip out the big eyes oh yeah. They are so gonna cave.
"I promise to be careful a-and Maggie and binks can come to practice when they aren't busy. They guys will be there so I'm sure I wont get hurt. Please be happy?" that kid is good I tell ya. Nobody can say no to her. I hear Kendall sigh.
"As long as you're happy AND super careful." she says going to hug Faith.
"Promise. Faith's honor." she says. Bianca and Erica are next.
"Well we don't like it but you bet your ass me and Maggie will be at every game and practice we can. If we can't make it Buffy will you keep them out of trouble?" Binks asks Buffy. Buffy nods and binks and Erica hug Faith. Poor kid looks like she can't breath.
"Thanks! Uh we gotta motor. Homework we wanna do. C'mon Kenn bug, Chris, B, Cordy, and Red! To the Faith cave!" she says and they all bound up the stairs. That child is too silly.
"Wait, homework they want to do?" Maggie asks.
"They get to shoot a music video for media class."Gunn says.
"Shit...3...2...1."
"Maggie can you buy us a new video camera?!" Faith yells from upstairs.
"If you come down here and ask maybe!" she yells out. Yeah right she knows just like we all do she's going to buy them a camera They all come running down the stairs. Faith and Chris fighting for the lead like always.
"Please please pleeeeaaassseeee?" Chris asks. Maggie just sighs.
"What else do you need and who needs what?" she asks. They just smile and all I can say is: poor Maggie.
Maggie pov.
Never ask teenagers what they need and who needs it. Nope you will become broke very fast. The man in the music store looked at me with sympathy when I walked in with the gang. They went for the guitars, then the keyboards, and finally the drum sets. I didn't even know Faith knew how to play the guitar. I asked her about it.
"When did you start playing?" I asked her.
"That summer when you thought I was ignoring you." she said with a light shrug. She was like six.
"That long huh?" she nods.
"Seems me and you are a lot a like. Even when it comes to singin." she said. I was sort of shocked. Everybody thinks I can't sing because of how I 'howl like a sick animal' as Kendall ever so politely puts it, around the house. Truth is I can sing pretty well but I've never once even heard Faith hum. Hell I didn't know Chris could sing either. They have voices like they were made for pop or rock. Depending on how they feel. Kennedy directed, Buffy edited while Cordelia and Willow took care of the lighting and making sure the sound wasn't too loud. Even though they just started I think they'll do great. I really like the song. Daddy's little girl by jesse McCartney Not to sure of the theme they are going to use but I think its something about concerts and meeting new girls. Who knows with them two. I'm sitting outside right now. Watching Faith and Gunn play catch with the football Faith threw into the cart today. She seems really excited about joining the team. I'm happy for her. I just really hope she's careful, but more importantly this happiness lasts.
Boston mass.
No pov.
An elderly woman is looking at a picture of Faith when she talks:
"I pray that child is ready because her life is about to be turned upside down." she sighs and puts the picture down.
Sunnydale ca.
Faith pov.
Ok so me and B have been out a few times and I really really like her. Yes there is a but thanks for noticin. I'm still like freakin petrified to kiss her. We've almost kissed a couple times but somethin always interrupts us then our moment is gone. Now don't get me wrong I'm usually not scared of nothin but this is one thing that scares me. I like her too much to wanna mess anythin up. Right now she's stayin with me for my first football practice. Mostly everybody got detention for the food fight they started and as for Cordy and red they are stayin after class to work on our video that's due next week. Chris and X man are both sick so they've been at home. Me and B are walkin out to the field now. I look at her quickly.
"Faith don't take this the wrong way but I'm afraid of your family." ok what the hell. I give her a look.
"Why?" I ask. She quickly corrects herself.
"Oh! No! Its nothing like that its just mostly Erica and Bianca. And Kendall sometimes they scare me a little." then I know what she's talkin bout. They been kinda badgerin her since they found out we went on our first date with out them.
"Eh don't worry. They like you. As long as you stay on their good side you got nothin to worry bout. They're just protective of their family and now I'm a part of that. They don't want you to hurt me. Sorry if they are scarin ya though." she nods thoughtfully
"I wouldn't you know. Hurt you. I wouldn't hurt you." she says sincerely.
"I know that and I think they do too but it doesn't mean they are gonna let up on ya yet. I think they need the assurance that even if they aint here you still wouldn't hurt me." I tell her. Its true. We're the first grandkids for Erica and first set of nieces and nephews for Kendall and Greens. They just want us happy.
"Well they don't have to worry. You know when you say it like that it makes me a lot less scared of them." she says. I smile at her. Then I shock us both when I lean in and kiss her on the lips. Its quick but it sent sparks through me. I pulled away to see a blushin B. nice. I look down for a quick minute.
"Sorry just really wanted to do that." she looks at me and smiles sweetly. Its so cute! What the hell? I did not just gush in my mind. Ok so I did but...eh fuck it. I'm becomin a softie for this chick.
"Its ok. It was nice." she says. Good. Glad I didn't freak her out by kissin her too soon.
"Alright. Cool. I better head over to the field. Practice and all." I say. She pulls me back.
"Be careful ok." she says. I nod. She smiles. "I'll be over there in the bleachers." she points to the area nearest to the field.
"Ok cool. See ya in a little bit." she nods and then she kisses me. Just the caress of lips against lips. No tongue. But I tell ya my knees almost buckled. She pulled back and smiled. I had to smile back.
"See ya in a bit cutie." she said. I just smiled and ran out on to the field. Even though I'm not your typical player for this position I'm fast. The coach caught that and I got the position of cornerback. Well lets go work some magic.
Buffy pov.
She kissed me. Then I kissed her. Damn I feel good. I had to hurry up and sit down before my legs gave out. She has amazingly soft lips and I already can't wait to kiss her again. But what if she doesn't want to kiss me again? What if she didn't like it? Wait what the hell am I talking about?! Of course she did! She likes me. And when we pulled back she had this sorta- shit she's fast. She just finished blocking four passes in a row. She's good. She's real good. Anyway back to my important internal debate. She likes me because if she didn't we wouldn't still be going out on dates. But she hasn't asked me to be her girlfriend. But then again its only been like four or five dates. Maybe its too early. Or maybe she just doesn't want me to be her girlfriend. Ok ok stop it Buffy. Why haven't I asked her? Well that's easy I'm scared out of my mind. Even though everyone says if I ask her she'll say yeah I'm still scared because there is the chance its too early. So I'm going to wait. I don't know how long but I'm going to wait. Yep. That's what I'm going to do.
Faith pov.
Man practice was wicked fun! I blocked a hell of a lot of passes and the coach says if I keep this up I'll be sure to play in the beginning of our first game in a few weeks. Guess that means I better keep it up. But somethin seems to be botherin B. she's been kinda quiet with a thinkin face since we left practice. I wonder what's on her mind. I wanna ask her but I don't wanna seem like I'm all up in her business or nothin. Hell I want alotta things when it comes to her. Main thing I want though is I wanna ask her to be my girlfriend. Wont be the first one I had but she will be the first one to make me feel like this. But I think its to soon to ask her. I don't wanna scare her off or nothin. Finally we reach mine and I practically run to the kitchen I'm in desperate need of juice. I get to the door way and my eyes almost fallout.
"AH! It burns!" I yell covering my eyes. I just walked in on my grandma and jack, aka grandpa, makin out it the kitchen.
"Well its nice to see you too Faith. I heard about you joining the football congratulations sweetie." he says walkin towards me.
"Thanks gramps. Whoa dude stop right there. I still gotta wait for the images that will scare me for life to try and fade." I say with a shudder. ew. Grandparents makin out. I make my way to the fridge.
"So how was practice?" grandma asks.
"Wicked!" I say with enthusiasm. She smiles at me.
"Good. You got mail on the coffee table." I nod. And walk out but turn back at the last minute.
"Good to see ya too gramps." I say and go and read my mail. hm. Letter from my mom's mom. The other granny.
Faith,
hey how are you? Hope your doing good princess. I heard about your sister Maggie adopting you all with the help of Bianca. I hope everything is going good for all of you. I know you are probably happy where you are and I couldn't wish for more but I'm writing because I have bad news. It seems your adoption is not legal. I know what you're thinking. Bianca and Maggie would never break the law. Well while you are right, they don't know. I'm telling you so you will have time to get ready. Your mother isn't dead. It was all a set up. To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement. She is planning on getting your father out of prison and they are coming to take custody of you back. Sweetheart I hope you know I am trying to stop this non sense. I'm doing everything I can. But it seems being daddy's princess as she was growing up she has it in her mind she can do what ever she likes when she likes. I am trying to do something to hopefully minimize the amount and power of family money she can use but so far nothing is working. Talk to your sister and get her ready. Remember you have just as much as your mother. Use your name as a resource and remember I love you. Be safe.
Love,
maw maw
Fuck! Its good to hear from maw maw but damn. Oh I used to call her maw maw when I was little and it stayed. But she can't do that! My mom can't just fake her death its like against the law! Who am I kiddin she's a very powerful family. Of course she can. And she's getting my dad out. Shit. Just when things got good. I feel tears in my eyes and I try to tell them not to fall but they don't listen. They start to fall freely. I notice Buffy lookin at me and I don't want to hide. She doesn't ask what's wrong she just comes and hugs me while I cry on her shoulder. That's how everybody finds us when they get home. They don't ask questions either. Maggie comes and takes the letter from my hands and reads it. She goes from confused to furious in a matter of seconds. Her face softens when she looks at me though. She comes and hugs me and whispers in my ear.
"Don't worry." I don't want to worry but...how can I stop myself?
Well here we go. Another small update. Oh do you agree with Buffy and Faith? Is it too early? Of course even if it weren't they'd probably wait until this is all over. But what do you guys think. Oh and the whole girl on a football team thing is just an idea I wanted to use. Don't see many stories with something like that.
