#000 - Starting Over
She had no idea if she’d ever be found.
Because of a freak storm during a magic-intensive battle, Buffy now found herself years in the past with no way of contacting any of the Scoobies. Not only that, but she had somehow managed to get stuck on an island filled with people who did nothing but drink, fight, and have sex at all hours of the day.
Well, when in Rome… Buffy mused as she grabbed a sword out of a man’s hand, punching him in the face as he tried to attack. Glancing around, she noticed a man carefully sneaking out of the brawl-filled room. She followed him, remembering him as being the one talking about a ship.
With the stealth she had built up with years of being the Slayer, she overtook him, the tip of her sword scratching at his neck. Smiling brightly at him, she said, “I need a ship. And you want to live. Think we can strike a deal…”
“Jack,” he supplied, scrutinizing the blonde. “Captain Jack Sparrow.”
If the Scoobies can’t find me, I might as well start over here. And getting on a ship away from this place is the first step.

She was glorious.
Her blonde hair shimmered in the light as she and Anamaria had a mock sword fight, a challenge to see if the blonde was as masterful with weapons as she claimed. Her movements were fluid, graceful as she ducked under a strike by Ana, answering it by knocking the sword out of her opponent’s hand. She was -
“If you stare any harder, I’ll cut your eyes out with this sword,” she retorted, eyes like daggers as she glared at Jack, not appreciating the scrutiny.
She was annoying and obnoxious. And what kind of name was Buffy anyway.

#005 - Superstitions
As soon as she had stepped on board, Buffy had noticed that Mr. Gibbs had twitched slightly, averting his eyes from her and muttering deep under his breath.
Everytime she turned around, he seemed to be there, still muttering.
Since she wasn’t known for being patient, which she reminded herself, she had really tried to be in this case, she stalked up to the muttering Mr. Gibbs and caught him in her menacing gaze. “So ya gonna tell me what the muttering is all about? Or am I going to have to beat it out of you? I’m a little antsy from being on a ship and unable to hunt, and I wouldn’t mind a spot of violence to ease my nerves.”
He didn’t reply though finally spit out, “It was bad enough with one woman on board; two women will only add to any accursed bad luck we run into it. Women on ships is just asking for trouble.”
Her eyes radiated innocence, though her smirk was anything but. “Wanna try to see what happens if you try to get rid of me? You’ll end up with a lot worse luck than you’ll have with me being on board.”
