Chapter One

Buffy was not happy about where she had to travel to. They’d picked up most of the newer slayers over the last few months, but there were still some that were trickling in over time. The Coven that Giles was working with would tell them when they’d missed one and where to find them. Sometimes they even got a name with the location, and then sometimes they just got a general location. A lot of the girls had been hard to sell about bringing them back to Rome with them, but most of them went willingly because of all of the questions they had. Just about all of the parents had been okay with, even encouraging their children to go along. They didn’t know how to handle the situation, so they let Buffy take them with her. They’d based their new headquarters out of Rome, so they sometimes had to wait for passports to come through. Faith had come to Rome with them, she was turning out to be a huge help to Buffy. She’d just gotten a call from Giles, who had told her about a new slayer in Connecticut. Buffy herself was going to go down there and get her. She walked out of her new office and motioned for Dawn to come over. When she did, Buffy took her aside.

“Giles just called about another slayer. She’s apparently around your age, so I want you to come with me, okay?” Dawn nodded.

“I thought we had everyone now. Where is she?” Buffy grinned.

“I’m sure they’re going to be coming in for the next several months. Remember, we’ve still got girls who had to wait for the passports. She’s in a place called ‘Stars Hollow’. I think the name sounds kind of queer, but it’s a real place in Connecticut.” Dawn wrinkled her nose.

“Yuck! They have all of that snow and junk.” Buffy giggled.

“I have to tell Andrew and Xander to get packed, they’re coming with us. I may also bring another slayer.” Dawn left to go and get packed herself.

Buffy, Dawn, Xander, Andrew, and Rona were all going to fly into Hartford, and then they were going to drive the short distance to Stars Hollow. Andrew was now Buffy’s assistant and her right hand guy. He did anything Buffy wanted, whenever she wanted. Dawn sometimes thought he dedicated himself because of Anya. He never talked about the day at the school, but Dawn sensed that he felt bad. Rona was one of the best slayers they had, but she had a sever attitude problem in Dawn’s opinion. Well, she was any worse the Kennedy, but she was sure close. She was glad that Xander was going, because he was the funny one and tended to stay close to Dawn. He was like the big brother she never got, and she loved him for his protective ways. It took them awhile before they could board the plane. Rona, always the optimist, grumbled as they checked their bags.

“I hope she’s not difficult, Buffy. The last girl we went to get…difficult.” Buffy smiled.

“I’m sure we’ll be fine.

Rory was walking down the hallway in Chilton to get to her locker, when she saw Paris Gellar walking towards her. Rory really didn’t understand her relationship with Paris. They’d started out hating each other, and now they were pretty good friends. They talked to one another every single day, worked on school projects together, and were even known to go to the same party every once in awhile. It was a good thing that Tristan wasn’t still at the school because he was a sore point for Paris. She’d gone on one date with him, had a fabulous time, and he told her he liked her like a sister…poor Paris. Rory was so glad that she had Dean, she didn’t have to worry about the nonsense of dating…she’d found her perfect match. Rory smiled to herself when Paris stopped beside her.

“Have you picked a subject for your senior project yet?” Rory shrugged.

“Not really thought about it. You do know that it’s not due for another six months, right?” Paris glared at Rory.

“Rory, this is very important! This project counts as half of our grade!” Rory did her best to hide her smile.

“I’m aware of the fact, Paris, and I have it down in my calendar to start panicking next month.” Paris sighed sarcastically.

“Oh fine, make fun of me! You watch and see, I’ll be the prepared one when the times come, and you won’t be able to say that I didn’t try and warn you.” Paris walked away leaving Rory rolling her eyes.

******************************

Buffy was going over her plan while Dawn listened to music, Xander was reading, Andrew was drawing, and Rona was sleeping. Buffy kind of felt bad at having to take these girls away from their perfectly normal lives and have to throw them into the demon pool…literally. Most of these girls didn’t even know that there were demons, let alone that they were supposed to help fight them. Sighing, she closed the folder she was looking at and picked up the plane’s phone. She quickly checked her voicemail and was disturbed when she heard a frantic Giles on the other end.

“Buffy, you have to call me back as soon as possible! It’s urgent that I speak with you before you make contact with the girl.” Buffy hung up, swiped her credit card again, and dialed Giles’s phone number. He picked up almost immediately.

“Buffy, is that you?” Buffy was worried.

“Yeah Giles, what’s up?” She heard him sigh.

“It looks like you’re not bringing back one girl, Buffy.” Buffy looked over at her traveling group, who were all staring at her with worry in their eyes.

“What are you talking about, Giles? You seriously need to calm down.” Giles paused.

“Sorry, I guess I was getting worked up. I got a call from the coven and they said that you were supposed to bring back two girls from the same town…two slayers.” Buffy let her head hit the back of her seat. She was really glad that she’d brought everyone now.

“Okay, I’ll call you when we land so I can get more info from you. This call is costing me a fortune.” When she hung up, she looked over at the worried faces.
“We’re picking up two slayers…not one.”

***************************************

The bus ride home seemed longer than it normally did for Rory. When she got off of the bus, no one was waiting for her like they normally were. Dean must have had to work and Lane was probably practicing with her band. She decided to walk on home instead of visiting Dean at work. She really didn’t feel like talking to Taylor that particular day. When she walked up to her front door, she gingerly turned the knob and shut it just as gently. Something strange was definitely happening to Rory, but she hadn’t talked to anyone about it. So far, she’d broken the door on her locker, shattered two glasses she’d been holding, and she bent a spoon like it had been rubber or something. She wasn’t sure what was going on, but she was sure she’d sound crazy if she told anyone. She walked into her bedroom and stood in front of her bed. Taking a deep breath, she used one hand to lift the bed off of its legs. She was able to lift it to her complete height without exerting herself. She put it down quickly and went into the kitchen. Maybe she was just getting sick or something, that had to be all it was.
************************************

The next day, Buffy and the gang got off of the plane at Hartford Airport. They rented a Honda CRV and headed out towards Stars Hollow. Xander was driving; Buffy was up front with him, while the rest of them were in the back. Dawn was looking at the map, Andrew was looking over her shoulder, and Rona was sitting stonily silent like she did. Not being able to stop herself, Dawn finally spoke up.

“Do you realize that Stars Hollow isn’t even on a map until you get halfway through Hartford? What is up with that?” Xander glanced in the rearview mirror to smile at her.
“Sunnydale was kind of like that. It wasn’t on the major maps because it was so small. Maybe it’s just like that for them.” Dawn snickered.

“Yeah, let’s hope they’re not sitting on top of a hellmouth.” Buffy shot her a dirty look.

“Willow looked the town up on the net…they don’t have a police force or a dire department. It’s all done on a voluntary basis and they haven’t had a registered crime since the late 1970’s. I think that this’ll be a nice break from the other towns.” Xander chuckled and Dawn frowned at Buffy.

“It sounds like we’re about to enter into ‘Pleasantville’.” This got Rona to laugh.

“Hey, if I get a break from demons, it’s cool.” They drove into the day and ended up at the Dragonfly Inn at around noon.

Buffy advised them to wait until she’d had a look around. She walked around the yard for a bit and then motioned for them to join her. They got their bags out of the car and handed the keys over to the valet attendant. When they walked into the lobby, there were two people standing behind the desk. One was a very annoyed looking man and the second was a pretty woman reading a magazine. When they approached, the woman threw a look at the man, who didn’t budge, and then she turned her full attention to them.

“Welcome to the Dragonfly Inn, how can I help you?” the man standing beside her, snickered.

“You enjoy that way too much.” The woman ignored him and Buffy couldn’t help but laugh.

“I hope so…we need four rooms and we didn’t make reservations.” The lady flipped through a book.

“You’re in luck, I have four rooms available. Did you need any of them to be doubles?” Confused, Buffy looked around and saw what she meant. Unfortunately, she had forgotten about Andrew. She threw an apologetic look to him and to Andrew.

“Yes, we do need one double room.” The lady pulled out some cards and handed them to her.

“I need everyone to fill one of these cards out, also is everyone twenty-one?”Buffy shook her head.

“My sister is only seventeen, but I’m her legal guardian.” The lady smiled again.

“Okay, she doesn’t need to fill one out, just add her to your card. Next, how many days will you be staying?” Buffy’s phone chose that precise moment to go off and she had to let Xander take over. He walked up the desk and smiled politely.

“We’re staying for at least five days.” The lady nodded again. while they were filling out their cards, she smiled prettily at Dawn.

“Are you guys on vacation from school?” Dawn shook her head.

“No, we’re just on vacation from Rome. We moved there a few years ago and we’ve missed the states. So, we decided that we needed to come and visit home…or around home. We’ve actually never been here before.” The lady’s smile just got bigger.

“Wow, I’d kill to live in Rome. That must be exciting.” Dawn giggled.

“It’s definitely beautiful there.” Buffy handed her the cards and grinned over at Dawn for the tales she was spinning. The lady handed her the keys.

“Okay, I’ll have Tom take your things up with you. My name is Lorelai Gilmore; you can ask me about anything. If I’m not available, this gentleman is Michel and you can bug him anytime you want. I hope you enjoy Stars Hollow.” Dawn giggled again and followed the bellboy up to her room. Maybe Stars Hollow wasn’t going to be boring after all.
