Home Sweet Home....
What have I gotten myself into?
Hey, Will, feel like workin some mojo for me? What? You can? You will?! And that’s exactly why you’re the best!I’ve replayed my half of that convo four times since arriving, yet it always seems to end the same. Me...L.A....alone. I wasn’t worried about the ‘L.A’. part, and I can safely say this next part without ( Read more... )
“I’m sorry....about your mum. Looks like we had something in common. I-“ I question if I should tell her or not...Will would kill me. That would be breaking rule number....uh...She gave me a long list, but it was WAY up there. “-I lost my dad not to long ago.”
I looked around a bit uneasy for a second. But nothing happened---which was good. VERY good. Along with the rules Will told me if I gave out the wrong sort of information then....bad could happen. Mainly me being all--unmade...but that makes be sound like a ball of clay... so I tried not to think on it.
“And...as for your sister, Buffy...is it...., taking on the authority figure roll. The way I see it is sisters fight...and teens ‘ave a problem with authority....so you’ve got kind of double the trouble. But keep in mind that she didn’t ask to be thrown into this situation....nor did you. I’m sure she’s doing the best of her abilities...even if it doesn’t seem that way....”

“I lost my dad not to long ago.”
::I know what she must feel like. I lost my mom but even before that I lost my father...well not lost him more like he ran off to Spain with his secritary....but he is as good as gone to me now anyway. Especially when he didn't come to the funeral service..it's like he doesn't even care about me...or Buffy anymore cause even birthday stuff doesn't happen anymore::
"I know what your going through. Believe I mean it was really hard when my mother died. I wanted to bring her-I wanted her to come back. Just cause Buffy was so concentrated on her job to even notice me. Now she basically doesn't want to take her eyes off me. Then with my father..well he is alive but he is in Spain with his secretary...I think. I dunno he basically doesn't exsist in my life nor my sister's for that matter anymore."
"But keep in mind that she didn’t ask to be thrown into this situation....nor did you. I’m sure she’s doing the best of her abilities...even if it doesn’t seem that way....”
::I thought about that for a few minutes before saying anything back. Buffy is doing the best she can...ya I am sure smacking you sister in the face is right there in the parenting book right next to let your sister/daughter run through the house with matches and stick scissors in a electrical socket just to see if it will explode...which they do...::
"Well you got that right. Us teens do tend to have the problem with authorites but hello were teens. Were suppose to bend the rules. It what keeps things exciting. With Buffy making with the rules. It's like I can't do nothing. But I do get what your saying. Bout the best of her abilities and such"

I looked at her sympathetically as she said this. I had remembered hearing about the attempted spell to bring Joyce back. Personally, I wish it would have worked. I hear nothing but good things about her...and would have loved to meet her.
I was overcome with guilt at this point. Here I was trying to change whats to come, while she has to live with all that's happened in her past. But its...different. Joyc--Miss Summe--ugh! She died due to health issues...my father...he was murdered in cold blood...by someone we trusted. And I can't--and won't stand to let that come to pass.
Then with my father..well he is alive but he is in Spain with his secretary...I think.
"Well, you and your sis 'ave each other. While it may not seem like a lot....it's more than some people have. You should live in the now...you never know when she'll be taken from you...especially in the line of--"
I caught myself before completing my sentence. Ok...I got to comfortable in the situation and almost blew it big time! This is hard...
"--line of...fire? Great movie don't ya think? With the....fire...."
Was that even a movie during this era? Was it even a movie period?! Hmm, don't I look all sympathetic changing the convo from death to...movies.

::I thought about that for a moment. Sure it's great having each other when it seems we can never get along for like 2 minutes. She is always on my case. Okay so I may not be the greatest kid out there but I mean it's not like I am really a kid anymore either. I know Buffy is trying but I dunno it's like she is still trying to protect from from everything. I just need more space. Sure it's great that she cares but does she have to care SO much.::
"Ya I guess your right. We have each other which is more then others then there are some of Buffy's close friends who are around. A couple I have yet to see lately but a couple are around..even if they are on the weird side. I just wis-...It would be easier if things were different is all I am saying"
::Which was ghostly Anya and Andrew..but even when Anya was uh non-Casper like uh Corporeal she was a bit out there...okay so she was alot out there she tended to like money more then people but she loved Xander so there is something. I really aint gonna get into the deal cause ya really don't want to.::
You should live in the now...you never know when she'll be taken from you...especially in the line of--line of fire
::I perked up as she said line of... then paused. Then finished with line of...fire. Line of fire...Okay um what does she think my sister is a firefighter? Well I didn't really say what she did...she is a waitress now but even I am not that stupid to know that couldn't really be what she had on her mind about saying. Maybe this girl knows more then she is saying. But she said she was new here..maybe where she comes from there were lines of fire.....I am just not excatly sure where it is she came from lets just hope it's Earth.::
"Line of Fire....oh yes uh really good movie with the fire...and uh more fire. And how it was in lines and rows and such." Okay so this is a bit un-easy here uh what to talk about. Ya great another subject change boy how I am so good at these. "So where you from? I mean you got an accent on ya. So is like like your first time to LA or something. Cause its really not all that bad"
::I once again looked at my watch and it was lunch time alright and yet still know Nicole. Huh maybe she is getting somewhere with those disks.::

It was nice to see that my attempt at hiding my accent was working well....
"I don't consider myself to be 'from' anywhere. I was born in England...if that's what you mean. Spend most of my summers down there too. If something unexpected doesn't happen to come up..."
Like an appocolypse...Wish I could come out and just say something like that, but if any other worldly talk comes about...it'll have to be brought up by her. I'm playing the innocent-normal 'oh-my-gosh!-vampires-are-real?!' girl. I don't like being that girl!
"I travel a lot though, due to the field of work my parents were--are in. LA is like a second home...apart from England it's where I've spent most of my life. And yourself? You're a Senior...but your new here. Where did you call home before your move to the City of Angels?"
God I hated that phrase with a burning passion...who came up with that nick name? We've got to have a word. Though, I suppose the person is kind of dead now...Better off that way. Now he or she can't come up with any other stupid names for cities.

::Hmm well what do ya know an English girl. Pretty cool, love the accent. I know of a couple people from there wonder if she ever meet them. I am sure she wouldn't have know Spike. But maybe she had meet or come across Giles or Wesley. Wes is kinda a jerk or from what I remember knowing of him. But Giles is kinda cool...and I am straining on that. I haven't seen him in awhile so not sure how he is doing but can't be to bad or we woulda heard something::
"Unexpected?? Oh! Like when the watch-.....um..that building blew up. I heard and read about it that it was pretty major."
::Oh ya great save Dawn...not!!..well actually it's not that big of deal. I mean a building blows up that does happen..from natural things..although this wasn't a natural thing more of the supernatural but still she wouldn't know that.::
"And yourself? You're a Senior...but your new here. Where did you call home before your move to the City of Angels?"
::City of Angel's...well there is Angel in it butI hope that's not the only reason for calling it that cause whoever called it that must have been smoking something that day.::
"Well I have always lived in California. I was born in LA." Okay so that's not all true but with the memories I was born in LA. But I actually wasn't actually human till in Sunnydale. Okay ya I am gonna go with LA. "Then when I was 9. I moved to Sunnydale with my mom and my sister. Stayed there for 7 years. Till there was...an earthquake and swollowed the whole town. Then since my mother had died a couple years back. Buffy and I went to Europe and stayed in Rome for a few months and now back in Los Angeles..since about a few weeks now."
::Okay earthquake...It seems by-able. I mean I can't really say. Well there was this evil right the first evil. And these bringers right who don't have any eyes but do get around. There was a hellmouth under the highschool. Then all the potential slayers in the world set up shop at our house. Then Willow who is by the way a Witch used the sythe..a sword and transformed Buffy's slayer powers to all the potentials...We stoped it by having..get this a vampire with a soul wear a shiny necklace that glowed and burned from the inside out. SO with our town gone we left to Rome and now I am here...makes an interesting story but it's things like that, that get you a first class ticket to the mental hospital....I hear they have one here.....::

I hate to say it,...who am I kidding--I'm more than happy to say it-- but the best thing to happen to the bloody Watcher's council was it being blown up and rebuilt under new management. All those old sods did was "WATCH", so ya think they would have noticed a pound or two of explosives. Mr. Giles is way better at running it then that...other guy. Never seen him for myself, but I hear he was a major ass.
"Yeah, can't imagine who---or what would want to blow up a building full of old people." Well, they were all over 25...which was old to me. " That was in the paper in the States?"
I shrug, not forcing her to explain.
Then when I was 9. I moved to Sunnydale with my mom and my sister. Stayed there for 7 years. Till there was...an earthquake and swallowed the whole town.
"Sunnydale huh? Sweet name for a town. I did hear about it sinking into a crater. What's up with that? I know California and earthquakes go hand in hand, but a whole city taken...can't say i've heard anything like it."
