Buffy remembered how much she loved Halloween as a kid, and she wanted to have that fun experience for the kids here. So she didn’t bitch and moan too much when she found out the village had put her in charge of more festivities. Like with Christmas, she’d wanted to have something for everyone to enjoy so she’d split the celebrations in half. The ( Read more... )

was in a good mood today as she brought in the groceries. She hummed quietly to herself as she put down the bags and began to unpack. She had a lot of food for the week, but she had something special for Sunday - it was always something special. This time she decided she'd make Italian and, since she had the time, she was even going to try her hand ( Read more... )

Faith knew it would happen any day now, but that didn't mean she was ready for it now. She'd been at the bar, just checking up on all the supplies and that everything was looking alright- then BAM! Her water broke all over the floor in the back of the Firecracker ( Read more... )

But she'd woken up in the morning feeling like crap, having to make a beeline from her bedroom to the toilet, puking up the previous night's pepperoni pizza ( Read more... )

Faith liked to think she'd gotten used to it, people leaving. Juliet, Felecia, then there was Natasha and Clint who she'd only met a couple of times. And so many more before them. Ed's father, for one.  Hell, people had disappeared out of her life even before the village ( Read more... )

Laura is once again making sure that tables are filled with food and the park picnic tables have table clothes. This picnic is something she's found herself in charge of year after year, and she loves it. There's something about giving back to a village that gave her a second chance ( Read more... )

Krissy sat at a picnic table in the park under one of the larger trees which gave a lot of shade. She was well aware of what tomorrow was. July 4th. It was one of her dad's favorite holidays and he wasn't around to celebrate it because not only was he not in the village, but he was dead, too ( Read more... )
