Giles is watching his son eat his rice breakfast cereal, Bailey is still wearing his red pajama but Giles has already got dress and he is wearing a brown tweed suit with a white long sleeve dress shirt under the suit jacket and a brown tie. The kitchen still has peach walls along with the rest of the first floor, in addition the kitchen layout is still the same, which is the kitchen island that has black quartz counter tops is in the center of the room, a breakfast nook is to the left-hand side of the kitchen door. Across from the breakfast nook is the black refrigerator, then to the right-hand side of the refrigerator if standing in front of the refrigerator looking at the refrigerator the base cabinets start and there are black quartz counter tops.

All the upper cabinets and the base cabinet are natural stain wood, there are also hard wood floors with a natural stain that is throughout the house beside for the three bathrooms that have White Travertine floor tiles. Two minutes later at the front of the house Dawn has reached the last step of the staircase that is on the left-hand side (if your back is to the front door) and she is wearing a pair of pink pajama pants and a pink short sleeve nightshirt. Dawn walks into the entry hall and then walks into the front hallway. She walks passes the half bath that is on the left-hand side of the hallway, if your back is to the front door. Then Dawn walks passes the dinning room that is also on the left-hand side and has her mom dinning room table, chairs and china cabinet in it. Dawn also walks by the garage door on the right-hand side if your back is to the front door of the house. A few minutes later Dawn walks by the staircase to the basement that is on the right-hand side and then walk into the living room and looks around the living room, which now has her mom living room furniture in it along with some new items. The bookcase with the glass doors is up against the wall across from the hallway and the basement staircase on the left-hand side of the room, in front of the bookcase is a round natural stain table with four natural stain wooden high back chairs around the table. The dark tan couch with flower print is in the center of the living room and the back of the couch is to the kitchen door. The dark wooden side tables with drawers that are under the table top are on each end of the couch. The dark tan armchair with flower print is next to the right arm of the couch, if standing in front of the couch and looking at the couch and toward the kitchen doorway, the back of the armchair is to the window that looks out on the backyard. The dark wooden coffee table is in front of the couch and armchair. The light wooden desk is up against the wall across from the hallway and basement staircase and is on the right-hand side of the wall and after the armchair. After the desk is a wooden exterior door that is paint white with a small oval window at the top of the door and the door lead out to the backyard. The tv stand, tv and VHS/DVD player is up against the center of the far right-hand wall, if standing in the hallway and by the basement staircase. Dawn hears Bailey and Giles in the kitchen and walks up to the doorway that leads into the kitchen, then Dawn walks into the kitchen. She walks past Giles and Bailey and sits down on one of the breakfast nook booth seat, there are two booth seats that are connect and then Dawn’s sidle over to the booth seat that Giles is sitting on. Dawn is now sitting on Giles’s left-hand side. Dawn lays her head down on the table of the breakfast nook after seeing that her mom is not in the kitchen. Dawn then shut her eyes because of a headache.
“Dawn that is the kitchen table and we eat at the table take your head off of the table.”
Dawn lifts her head up from the table top and lean back against the back of the booth seat, with her head resting on the back of the seat. The whole time Dawn keeps her eyes closed and does not look at Giles or her baby brother. Giles is busy keeping an eye on his son and does not notice that Dawn eyes are closed or that Dawn is resting her head against the back of the booth seat.
“Giles’s where is my mom, she always makes me pancakes for breakfast?”
“Your mother is still in bed because she has a migraine headache and call into work sick. You are going to have to eat cereal for breakfast Dawn.”
“I do not want cereal for breakfast can you make me pancakes?”
“No, I have to clean Bailey up when he is done eaten breakfast and then I have to get him dress before leaving to drop him off at daycare and drive to Sunnydale High School to drop you off at school and me heading into the high school for work.”
“I can walk to school or take the bus you do not have to give me a ride?”
“Yes I do Dawn because I told your mother that I would give you a ride to school today and what do you want to do on your fourteen birthday, which is on coming up on the twenty-three of this month?”
“I want to spend the day with mom, Bailey, Buffy, you, Lorne, Faith, Kennedy, Xander and Destiny. I also want Faith to make my birthday cake because she makes the best cakes in Sunnydale!”
“I will let your mother know that you want to spend your birthday with Bailey, Buffy, Lorne, Faith, Kennedy, Xander and Destiny and I and have Faith make your birthday cake.”
“Thanks Giles.”
“Now go found something to eat for breakfast.”
“Whatever Giles.”
Dawn open up her eyes, then she sidles to the end of the booth seats and stands up from the breakfast nook booth seat. Dawn’s start walking over to the upper cabinets, thinking I hope that I am not coming down with something because I hate being sick, but there could be something going around Sunnydale seeing that my mom and I both have headaches. Dawn open up the door to the cabinet that is next to the refrigerator and grabs a box of Koala Crip cereal off the top shelf and shut the cabinet door. She then open up the door of the second cabinet after the refrigerator and grab a bowl out of the cabinet. A few moments later Dawn gets a spoon out of the drawer that is in the first base cabinet after the refrigerator. She then takes the box of cereal, bowl and spoon over to the breakfast nook and set them on the table. Dawn goes and gets the milk out of the refrigerator and a few minutes later Dawn is sitting on the booth seat of the breakfast nook that is across from Bailey and Dawn is slower eating her bowl of cereal. Bailey smiles at his sister and Dawn smile back at him. Giles takes his eyes off of Bailey and looks over at Dawn who is yawing into her left hand.
“Dawn did you finish your homework last night?”
“No, I was having a hard time stay awake, so at eight o’clock I put my homework away and went to bed for the night.”
“After you finish eating breakfast I want you to get dress and ready for school really fast and then you are to work on your homework until it is time to leave, then once at school you are going to work on your homework in the library until the bell to head to the first class of the day rings!’
“You are not my dad and you cannot tell me what to do Giles and you are not going to take my father place in my life, because his is still my dad and he will always be part of my life!”
“No, I am not your dad, but I am your stepfather and as long as you are living under your mother and my roof you have to do what I or your mothers’ tell you to do Dawn and I do not want to take your father place, I just want to be part of your, Buffy, Bailey and my wife’s life and be there for all four of you.”
“Fine, but only because I do not want to live in Japan with my real father!”
Bailey finishes eat and Giles stands up for the breakfast nook booth seat and grabs the dirty bowl and spoon off the tray of the highchair. Giles takes the dishes over to the black dishwasher, which is under the counter on the right-side of the sink. Giles puts the dishes into the dishwasher and then he walks over to Bailey and gets his son out of the highchair. Giles’s holding his son walks out of the kitchen and heads upstairs to get Bailey clear up and ready for daycare. Dawn eats half of the cereal and then put the milk away and throws the uneaten cereal into the trash can that is on the left side of the refrigerator. After putting the box of cereal away Dawn walks out of the kitchen and then heads upstairs. A few minutes later she steps of the last step of the staircase and onto the second floor landing, she turns to the right and walks down the hallway, then open up the door of the bedroom that Faith and Xander used as a guest room and Fred stay in when Faith and Xander owned the house and is now Buffy’s bedroom.

Dawn then walks down the hallway and a few moments later open up the first door on the right-hand side, which is her bedroom. Bailey’s bedroom is across the hall from her bedroom and Joyce and Giles’s bedroom is at the end of the hallway and across from Buffy’s bedroom. Dawn walks into her bedroom and shut the door behind her, all of the bedroom walls are painting lavender.

Dawn goes over to the closet that is on the right-hand side of the room, if your back is to the bedroom door or the left-hand side if you are looking at the bedroom and closet doors. Dawn open up the closet door and looks into the full length mirror that is attached to the inside of the closet door. Dawn notice that she is bloated and is thinking that has to be why the pajama pants are feeling tighter then normal this morning. Dawn grabs a pair of black jean and a black sleeveless shirt out of the closet, then walks over to her dresser, which is up against the center of the wall across from the bedroom door and under the window that look out onto the side yard on the right-hand side of the house, to grab a black training bra, a pair of black socks and black underwear out of her dresser.

She takes two pills for the headache and after putting the bottle of Tylenol away Dawn walks out of the bathroom. Dawn head back into her bedroom, yawning into her left hand. Once in her bedroom Dawn shut her bedroom door and looks at her bed thinking about getting back in bed and under her light purple bedspread and resting until it time to go to school. But Dawn walks over to her desk and pulls the desk chair out, then Dawn sits down at her desk and gets her Earth Science homework, notebook, textbook and a pen out of her backpack. Dawn then starts working on her homework for her first class of the school day. Meanwhile at 1630 Revello Drive, which used to be the Summers house and is now where Gunn, Doyle and Fred are living at. Fred, Doyle and Gunn are all upstairs and all three of them are in they bedrooms. Gunn is wearing a pair of old jean with holes in both knees and an old white short sleeve shirt and he is getting ready to paint his bedroom. Gunn has Joyce permission to paint all of the bedroom walls taupe, because the bedroom was Bailey, which is also connects to the master bedroom by a door, but Doyle who has taken the master bedroom agreed to keep the door locked and neither of them will open up that door. Fred has take Buffy’s high school bedroom and for a short time Dawn’s bedroom, but is keeping the bedroom walls the color that Dawn painted the walls. Fred is wearing a red short sleeve shirt, a pair of red pajama pants and has her reading glasses on. Fred is sitting on her black desk chair that is at her maple desk and is working on a paper for Modern Physics Review called Supersymmetry and P-Dimensional Subspace. The desk is up against the far left-hand wall, if standing in the bedroom door and the window behind the desk looks out onto the front yard of the house. The headboard of the black cast iron bed is up against the center of the far right-hand wall, if standing in the bedroom door and her dark stain wooden dresser is up against the center of the wall across from the bedroom door and the closets doors. At the same time in the master bedroom, which all the walls are still green wallpaper with leafs on it and the white trims along the top of the walls and the bottom of the walls. Doyle is wearing blue pajama pant and no shirt and he is trying to sleep after a long night of having visions of an increase in crazy people in Sunnydale and about The Dagon Sphere. He also had a vision about Dawn’s getting her first period, which he wishes that he never had. His dark stain wooden hardboard of his bedframe is up against the center of the far-right hand wall if standing in the bedroom door, the footboard of the bed is across for the door that connects his room to Gunn’s bedroom. Doyle wooden dresses with dark stain is up against the center of the wall that is between the door that connects the bathroom to the bedroom and the bedroom door and there is a dark stain wardrobe up against the center of the far left-hand wall of the bedroom. Back in Gunn’s bedroom he has turned on rap music to listen to as he paints the bedroom walls and he is rapping along to the rap music. Doyle gets out of bed because the music is very loud and is hurting his head. He walks over to the master bedroom door and walks into the hallway, he then walks through the door that lead to the hallway and leads to Gunn’s bedroom door. Doyle then walks up to the door of the bedroom rubbing his forehead. Then Doyle starts to yell into the room at Gunn.
“Will you turn the rap music down and stop rapping along to it because I have an awful headache and want to sleep?”
“Its morning and time to get up Doyle and I’m not going to turn the music down.”
At the same time Fred walks up beside Doyle and looks at Doyle then at Gunn, who has go back to painting the walls and rapping along to the rap music. Fred walks into the bedroom and turns the music down and then tape Gunn on his left shoulder.
“I am trying to write a paper for the Modern Physics Review can you not play the music so loud, so I can work and Doyle can sleep, because he looks awful.”
“I will keep the music down Fred and what is the paper called?”
“It is called Supersymmetry and P-Dimensional Subspace.”
“What does that mean in English?”
“It is a little breakthrough in quantum particles Gunn that is based off a string compactification theory that I had for four years now, which come for being sucked through that portal into Pylea where Lorne is from. In addition not a good place for human to go because they are treated with unendurable torture and mental anguish and are called cows.
“How did you get out of Pylea Fred?”
“Doyle, Angel, Wesley and Lorne come to Pylea and bring me back to L.A. after Doyle had a vision of me being in Pylea, Angel left to come back to Sunnydale after we get back to L.A. and I start working with Doyle, Wesley and Lorne and a little while later with Kate and then the rest of you in Sunnydale after moving to Sunnydale. But I do not like to talk about my time in Pylea it brings bad memories back.”
“I understand that Fred, I have memories that I do not like to remember too.”
With that Fred walks out of Gunn’s bedroom and heads back to her bedroom. At the same time Doyle goes back to his bedroom to get some sleep. Meanwhile Tara is already working at the Magic Box and has been since five o’clock in the morning. She has already restocked the shelves to get the store ready to open up for the day and is now up in the loft area, which is the off limit’s area to store customers because the artefacts and books keep up there is relation to dark magic and in the wrong hands can be very dangerous. She is up in the off limit area getting a Sobekian Bloodstone (is an almost square sand color stone with a hit of red), Khul's Amulet (is a green stone with engraved curved lines on it and inside a metal pendant and on a chain) and a book of spells for transmogrification and resurrection that a customer is coming to pick up when the store open up, because she has passed all the background check to buy these items. Tara puts the three items into a large pink bag that says the magic box on the front and then stands up and dust off her black dress pants and black long sleeve blouse. Tara picks up the bag, then heads down the loft ladder with the bag in her left hand. A few moments later Tara walks over to the check out counter, which is in the back of the store on the right-hand side if your back to the front door of the store or the left side of the store if your back is to the door that leads to the back room of the store, which is going to be use as a room for Sara and Sean to sleep in when Willow is working and a workout room for the slayers. Tara set the bag on top of the check out counter, then walks over to the window by the door (that is on the right-hand side if standing in the front door or left-hand side if your back is to the door to the back room) and turns the open sign on and then unlock the front door, which is the only door that customers of the store can use. Seeing that it is six thirty in the morning and that when the store open up during the week, then Tara walks passes the shelve units on the right that has mortar and pestle, Crystal balls, et cetera. Tara then walks past a table with amulets, stones, et cetera, a door to the basement that is on the short wall across from the front door and a smaller shelve display with candles on it (if your back is to the front door). Tara also walks past cases, a desk and then the door to the unisex restroom on the left-hand side (if your back is to the front door). Then she steps down to the lower area and back section of the store and walks past shelve units with books and other items like dragon skulls, urns, et cetera and a round table that is on the left-hand side (if your back is to the front door) as she walks toward the opening to walk behind the check out counter. After the check out counter there is another shelve unit that is on the right-hand side if your back is to the front door. The top shelf has statue, urns, et cetera, but the rest of the shelves have books. On the back wall of the back sections of the store is the door to the back room, which is on the right-hand side if your back is to the front door and two magazine displays for magical magazines and catalogs, which are on the left-hand side of the wall (if your back is to the front door) and both are under the loft. In front of the two magazines display is a display case of candles. On the far left-hand wall of the back section is a cabinet and on top of the cabinet is a hot plate with a tea kettle on it, boxes of tea bags and mugs for Magic box staff, then bookcases. Behind the check out counter are shelving units built into the wall, which is where the herbs for sale are kept and in the display case of the check out counter are magical daggers and other magical weapons that are for sale. A few minutes later a lady that is five feet four inches tall with curl blonde hair pulled into a ponytail, but when her hair is down it is shoulder length and the lady has hazel eyes and is wearing a sleeveless red blouse and a red pencil skirt that just above the knees in length and a pair of red six inches high heeled dress shoes with open toes. The lady walks up to the check out counter and Tara smiles at the lady.
“Can I help you find something?”
“I am here to pick up an order that you say would be ready this morning?”
“Are you the lady who ordered the Sobekian Bloodstone, Khul's Amulet and book of spells for transmogrification and resurrection?”
“Yes.”
“That would be forty dollars please.”
The lady hands Tara forty dollars and Tara puts the money in the cash register and then Tara pick up the bag with the item in it and give the bag to the lady. The lady takes the bag then turn and walks to the door of the store and a few moments later the lady walks out of the Magic box. Two minutes later the store door open up and Tara looks up to see a demon with reddish skin that is creaks and some of the creak on the forehead are glow orange. The demon also has blue eyes and pointed teeth that have a hue of green to them and is dress in all black. The Demon walks through the store and up to the check out counter, Tara looks up at the demon and try not to let him know she is scary of him.
“Can I help you find something?”
“I am looking for the slayers, are all three slayers here?”
“No, the slayers are not here! Is there anything else I can get you?”
The demon does not answers Tara, he just turns and walks toward the door of the Magic box and when the demon reaches the door, the demon open up the door and walks out of the store. At the same time Tara walks over to the phone that is on the right-hand wall if standing behind the check out counter and looking down at the cash register, Tara’s pick up the phone to start making calls to let the slayers and Giles know there is a new demon in town and that the demon is looking for the slayers. Tara gets the answering machine at Joyce and Giles’s house, so she calls Giles’s high school library office phone and also gets the answering machine. Tara leaves a message on Giles’s office answering machine and then calls her and Buffy place and get they answering machines, she leaves Buffy a message and then call Faith’s house and after four rings someone answers the phone.
“Faith Lehane speaking and who is calling?”
“It Tara, a demon came into the Magic box looking for the slayers, I told the demon that the slayers were not here and he left without hurt me.”
“That is good that he did not hurt you, but not good that he is looking for all three of the slayers. Have you talk to G yet?”
“I have not spoken to him, but left a messenger on his answering machine at his office at the high school library. I give Giles a description of what the demon look like.”
“Thanks for calling and letting me know Tara, I need to let you go because Xander already left to go to the new construction site and I have to get Destiny breakfast and then ready for daycare because I have classes this morning and afternoon.”
“Ok then I will talk to you later, bye.”
“Bye.”
Tara hangs up the phone and sees a customer that looks like she might need help. Tara walks out from behind the check out counter and walks over to the customer who has blonde layer shoulder length hair, hazel eyes and is five feet four inches tall. As Tara walks up to the lady she notices that the lady is wearing a black long sleeve short with and v-neck line, a pair of black dress pants and a pair of black high heel dress boots, the lady stop looking at the candles and looks at Tara when Tara walks up to her.
“Can I help you find anything?”
“Yes do you have Calynthia powder?”
“Yes it is behind the check out counter, follow me and I will get you some.”
The lady follows Tara to the back of the store and over to the check out counter. Tara walks behind the counter and grabs a small purple drawstring bag that has Calynthia powder in it. She grabs a small pink bag that say Magic box on the front and put the small purple drawstring bag that has Calynthia powder into the bag. Tara walks over to the cash register and set the bag on the check out counter.
“That will be fifteen dollars.”
The lady hand Tara fifteen dollars and then picks up the pink bag of the check out counter and walk away from Tara as she put the money into the cash register. As Tara closes the cash register she is thinking that lady look really familiar to me where have I see the lady before and a second later it comes to Tara, she sees the lady in a picture in one of Giles books, her name was Darla, but how can that be because Faith and Buffy said Angel staked her during they sophomore year at Sunnydale high school, so it can’t be Darla, it has to be someone else who looks like Darla. At the same time at Tara and Buffy’s apartment, Buffy rolls over in her bed and opens her eyes because the alarm clock is going off. Buffy turns the alarm clock off and then sits up in bed. Then Buffy looks across the room at her vanity and is wishing that she could stay in bed all day because she was up most of the night with painful menstrual cramp and still has them, but has classes all day at UC Sunnydale. The classes she is taking are hospitality and financial analysis 9:00 a.m. to 9:55 a.m., pastries two 10:00 a.m. to 10:55 a.m., interpersonal skills 11:00 to 11:55 a.m., Business communication 1:00 p.m. to 1:55 p.m. and induction to earth science 2:00 to 2:55 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Buffy reach over to the nightstand on the left-hand side of the bed if laying on your back on the bed and reset the alarm clock for eight o’clock and then lays back down to get some more sleep, hope that when she wakes up the cramps will be gone. Meanwhile across town at Faith and Xander Castle, Faith’s who is wearing a pair of black workout short and a black wide strap tank top and Faith’s is chases her daughter around the first floor. Because Destiny who is wearing a pink nightgown is refuse to go into the kitchen to eat breakfast and also told her mom that she will not get dress to go to daycare, then Destiny takes off in a fast run out of the sitting/ living room where she was playing dolls and has not stop running. At the same time on the second floor in Kennedy’s bedroom, Kennedy is wakening up by the sound of Destiny and Faith running around downstairs and the sound of the alarm clock going off the sixth time, Kennedy hit the off button on the alarm clock and slower sits up in bed, then start rubbing her forehead with her left hand because of an awful headache. Kennedy tosses her bedspread off and looks down at the pair of oversized black sweatpant and an oversized black nightshirt she sleep in and is thinking I feel crappy this morning. Kennedy gets out of bed and walks over to her bedroom door, a few moments later Kennedy is walking into the bathroom that she shares with Destiny and that is across the hall from her bedroom. Once in the bathroom Kennedy walks over to the antique Victorian bathroom sink that is sitting on a cast iron stand and kneels down and pulls a tampon out of the cardboard tampon box that is sitting on the floor under the Victorian sink. When Kennedy stands up, she set the tampon on the edge of the sink and open up the door of the Victorian mahogany medicine cabinet that is above the sink and has a mirror on the front of the door. Kennedy pulls out a bottle of Tylenol and open up the bottle and pours two pills out of the bottle. She puts the pills into her mouth and swallows them without water, then put the bottle of Tylenol away. Kennedy stares into the medicine cabinet for a few moments then grabs the new pink digital oral thermometer out of the medicine cabinet along with a probe cover. She puts the probe cover onto the thermometer and then turns on the thermometer. Kennedy then puts the thermometer into her mouth and under her tongue, then leans up against the far right-hand wall (if standing in the bathroom door) and waits for the thermometer to beep. Thirty seconds later the thermometer starts beeping and Kennedy takes the thermometer out of her mouth and looks at the digital display to see it reads 99.0 degrees Fahrenheit, which is still in the normal body temperature ranges (which is between 97 degrees Fahrenheit to 99.0 degrees Fahrenheit). Kennedy takes the probe cover off the thermometer and throw it into the trash can and then put the thermometer away. Meanwhile on the first floor Destiny is out running her mother who has superhuman speed.
“Dest come on, I had a long night at work last night and I have a long day ahead of me, will you stop running and come with me into the kitchen to eat breakfast?”
“Ok mommy.”
Destiny stop running and walk out of the library and walks over to her mom that is leaning against the wall by the door to the sitting/living room. A minute later Faith and Destiny walk into the kitchen. Destiny walks over to the kitchen table and hop onto the end chair by the kitchen island. At the same time Faith gets to work making scrambled eggs and toasts for her and Destiny to eat for breakfast. As Faith’s is scrambles the egg’s Kennedy walks into the kitchen rubbing her forehead with her right hand. The youngest slayer walks up to the kitchen table and sits down on the chair on the left-hand side of the kitchen table and that is facing the wall that the large arched fireplace and the four 1936 magic chef gas ranges are on. Faith’s looks up from scrambled the eggs and looks at Kennedy and notice that she looks tired and is rubbing her forehead.
“You are running later then normal this morning Kennedy, do you want some scrambled eggs and toasts for breakfast?”
“I will have some toasts, but I do not want any eggs, I’m not that hunger this morning and my monthly started last night and I have really bad cramps and a headache since eleven o’clock last night.”
“Is that way you stay in last night?”
“Yes that why I stay in last night Faith.”
“That is fine Kennedy.”
Kennedy stop talking and lean against the back of the seat and shuts her eyes. Kennedy then wraps her arms around her stomach. Destiny hops off the chair she is sitting on and climbs up onto Kennedy’s lap. The little girl then gives Kennedy a big huge and kiss Kennedy on the lips. Destiny then goes back to hugging Kennedy with a huge smile on her face. Kennedy smiles back at Destiny and gives her a hug.
“Do you feel better now?”
“Ahem yes I feel a little better Dest.”
Destiny hops off Kennedy lap and walk over to her mom to watch her cook. Kennedy stands up and wraps her arms around her stomach and start to walk toward the doorway of the kitchen, when Kennedy reaches the doorway Kennedy stop walking and looks back at Faith.
“I am going to head upstairs and get dress for school, then go into the bathroom to comb my hair and brush my tooth. I will come get my toasts when I am finish getting ready for school and eat the toasts on the way to school.”
“That is fine Kennedy, I had many morning that I eat breakfast on my way to high school.”
Kennedy walks out of the kitchen and slower walks toward the front of the castle. When Kennedy is out of Faith and Destiny view Kennedy puts her left hand on her forehead, wishing that the headache and cramps that she has would go away. By now she has reach the room the staircase is in, Kennedy walks into the room and start walking up the staircase. As she is walking up the stair she is thinking I have felt under the weather since yesterday afternoon it started off with a scratchy score throat, then a headache followed by my monthly started and menstrual cramps and this morning I feel achy and exhaust. Kennedy has reached the top of the staircase and walks onto the landing of the second floor. Kennedy then walks into her bedroom thinking I hope that I’m not coming down with something because I hate being sick and this is not a good time for me to get sick. Kennedy shut her bedroom door and walks over to her wardrobe, then opens up the doors of the wardrobe. Kennedy pulls out a red long sleeve shirt with a v-neckline and a pair of black congo pants, then pulls open the left-hand drawer at the bottom and grab a red bra and underwear out of the drawer. Kennedy then shut the door and open up the right-hand drawer at the bottom and grabs a pair of red socks. Kennedy shut the drawer and then shuts the doors of the wardrobe. Kennedy walks over to her bed and sits down on the bed, then set the pants, shirt, socks, underwear and bra down on her bed and lay back on her bed wishing that she could stay home from school sick, but know that will not happen because Faith has a rule that you have to be running a fever or have a non stop runny nose, cough or throwing up to stay home for school and she does not have a fever, runny nose, cough or throwing up. Meanwhile, at Sunnydale High School Library it is going on seven o’clock in the morning. Rupert Giles is in his office with the door closed listen to the message that Tara left him and Dawn Summers is sitting on the end chair of the first study table with her back to Mr. Giles office and is working on her Geography homework, because she finishes the Earth Science homework a minute before having to leave the house and the rest of her homework is done. Dawn lays her head down on the geography textbook and shut her eyes. Dawn then warps her arms around her stomach, because abdominal cramps that are really bad. A few minutes later Giles open up his office door and walks across the room to the book cage and he grab Bristow's Demon Index and the Watchers Codex from the book cage. Giles then walks out of the book cage shutting the book cage door behind him. Giles then locks the door of the book cage and as he is walking toward his office he notices that Dawn is not working on her homework, but has her head down on the textbook and her eyes are closed. Giles also notices that Dawn has her arms wrap around her stomach. He walks up to the study tables and stop beside Dawn.
“Dawn Summers sit up and start working on your homework.”
Dawn sits up and looks at her stepfather and there are tears running down her face. Dawn then stands up and run out of the library and to the nearest girl’s restroom. Once in the restroom, which has green walls Dawn runs into the first stall and shut the door behind her. Dawn then locks the stall door, because she needs to use the bathroom. A minute later Kit Holburn who has long dark brown hair that is pulled into a ponytail, hazel eyes and dress in black jeans and black short sleeve shirt with a scoop neckline and Janice Penshaw who has shoulder length curl red hair, amber color eyes and is wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a sleeveless purple shirt walk into the girl’s restroom together. Kit and Janice hear Dawn crying in the first stall and walks up to the door of the first stall, then Kit and Janice start talking at the same time.
“Dawn is everything all right?”
“Everything is fine I just started my first period is all. Kit or Janice’s do either of you have a pad because I do not have any and I need one?”
Kit open up her purse and gets a pad out of the purse and hands the pad under the door of the restroom stall to Dawn and Dawn takes the pad for Kit. Kit stands up and then close her purse and at the same time Dawn start to talk.
“Thanks Kit.”
“You are welcome.”
“Kit and Janice I can’t hang out before class because I have to go to the library and finish my homework.”
“(Kit and Janice) That fine sees you in class.”
Kit and Janice use the restroom, then leave the restroom. A few minutes later Dawn walks into the library and see Giles standing next to the study table waiting for her. Dawn walks over to the study table and sits down on the seat that she was sitting on before standing up and running out of the library. Dawn then grabs the pen off the table and start working on her Geography homework.
“Dawn why did you run out of the library and is everything all right?”
“I had to use the bathroom and I guess everything is all right Giles, I start my period for the first time.”
“Oh, how are you feeling?”
“I have a headache, really bad cramps, emotional and I’m tired but otherwise I am fine. Giles’s will you call my mom and let her know that I start my period for the first time?”
“When your mother calls to let me know how she is feeling in a few hours I will let her know that you have started your first menstrual cycle Dawn.”
At the same time Kennedy walks into the library and walks over the study table, Kennedy tosses her backpack onto the study table and then sits down on the chair across for Dawn. Kennedy leans back in the chair and shut her eyes, thinking I have to be coming down with something because I have started to get a stuff up nose and the headache I have been fighting is a sinus headache, but at lest the Tylenol I take this morning has help to ease some of the pain from the menstrual cramps. Giles set the two books that he is hold down on the table and look at Kennedy and notices that his youngest slayer look tired. Giles’s pick up one of the book from the study table, then hand Kennedy the copy of Bristow's Demon Index, Kennedy takes the book without open up her eyes. Giles’s picks up the copy of Watchers Codex and at the same time Dawn begins to talk.
“Can I just finish my homework and not talk any more Giles?”
“That is fine Dawn, Kennedy and I have some slayers relation things that we need to work on in my offices.”
Dawn goes back to working on her homework and Giles starts to walk toward his office, but Kennedy does not stand up from the chair she is sitting on. Giles stop walking and turn around and looks at his youngest slayer and notice that beside looking tired like he notices a few moments ago, Kennedy has her eyes close and sound congestion and her arms are wrapped around her stomach.
“Is everything all right Kennedy?”
“I start my monthly last night and have a headache and really bad cramps, but everything is fine Giles.”
“That good that everything is all right and I am sorry that you have bad cramps and a headache Kennedy, but you need to come into my office because we have a demon to look up, who is looking for all the slayers.”
“Ok.”
Kennedy stands up from the chair and then follow Giles into his office. Once in her watcher office Kennedy shut the office door, because Dawn does not need to hear about the demon that is after the slayers. At the same time Giles sits down on his desk chair that is at his desk. The desk is up against the far left-hand wall if standing in the door of the office. Kennedy walks past Giles’s desk and the file cabinet that is on the small wall across from the office door, Kennedy then walks over to the black loveseat (which Giles put into the office in place of the couch, half way through the 1999-2000 school year) and the loveseat has a pull out bed and is up against the wall on the right-hand side of the file cabinet. Kennedy sits down on the loveseat and open up the copy of Bristow's Demon Index and starts to look through the book, but stop because she does not know what to look for.
“Giles’s what does the demon look like?”
“Tara siad that the demon has reddish skin that is creaks and some of the creak on the forehead glow orange and the demon also has blue eyes and pointed teeth that have a hue of green to them.”
“Ok that will Ah-choo help me know what to look for.”
“Did you just sneeze?”
“Yes, it must be Ah-choo the dust from this old book that I am looking through.”
“I hope so because it is not a good time for you to get sick with a hell goddess in Sunnydale and a demon looking for you, Faith and Buffy.”
“I am not getting sick, its ah-choo just the dust from the old dusty books all over this office and the dusty book in ah-choo my hands. Can we just find the demon that is looking for the slayers sniffling so I can go to class?”
“Sure Kennedy.”
Kennedy start sniffling and Giles pull a tissue out of the box on his desk and hand the tissue to Kennedy. Kennedy takes the tissue from her watcher and blows her nose into the tissue, at the same time Kennedy is looking through Bristow's Demon Index. Kennedy flips to the t sections of the book and after a few minutes of looking finds a demon that matching the demon Tara saw in the magic box. Kennedy stands up from the couch and walks over to Giles. Kennedy then sits the book down on top of the Watchers Codex and point to the demon Toth.
“Why did I not think of that demon, I think you found the demon that is looking for you, Faith and Buffy? This demon is the last living member of the Tothric clan. The demon uses a Ferula Gemini, which is a half staff and when he points the Ferula Gemini at a person the staff fire a bolt of energy that physically split the personalities of the person into two separate entities or people when the bolt hits them. One of them has the strong qualities and one has the weak qualities, but both of them are real and technically they are one being. If one of them is killed the other one will be killed too.”
“So Faith, Buffy and I have to find the demon Ah-choo, Ah-choo and kill the demon before the demon can split any of us into two entities?”
“Yes that would be a good idea, but let not worry about that right now because the bell for the first class of the day is going to ring at any time. Go to class and when school is over for the day you can meet up with Buffy and Faith to look for the demon. I will call Faith and Buffy and let them know what demon is looking for the slayers and tell them about the Ferula Gemini.”
“Sounds like a great plan to me, see you later.”
Kennedy walks over to the office door and open up the closed door, Kennedy then walks out of the office and then walks over to the study table, at the same time the bell to head to first hour rings. Kennedy grabs her backpack and at the same time Dawn put her Geography textbook, notebook, homework and pen into her backpack. A few moments later Kennedy and Dawn walk out of the library. Dawn heads to her Earth Science class and Kennedy heads to her Geometry class and is wishing she was at home in bed resting, because of having a sore throat, being exhaust, achy all over, having a stuff up nose and sneezing. Despite told Giles that she is not getting sick, it feels like she is sick or is getting sick and has begun feeling feverish too. When Kennedy gets into the geometry classroom, she walks up to the teachers’ desk at the front of the classroom and pulls a handful of tissues out of the box of tissues and then walks over to the first row of desk by the door of the classroom and sits down on the seat of the fourth desk in the first row of desks. Kennedy then gets her geometry concepts and application’s textbook, geometry notebook and a pen out of her backpack, then open up the textbook to chapter one reasoning in Geometry first set of exercises that are on page eight, which is what the class is going to start working on when class starts. A few minutes later Kelly Barrie who has hazel eyes, shoulder length blonde hair and look just looks like Heidi Barrie who is her older sister, walks into the classroom and over to the fourth desk in the second row of desks and Kelly is wearing a dark-blue jean skirt that is six inches above the knee and dark blue short sleeve shirt with a v-neckline. Kennedy looks over at her best friend that knows about her, Faith and Buffy being slayers, Giles even know that Kelly knows that she, Faith and Buffy are vampire slayers. The reason Kelly knows Buffy, Faith and Kennedy are vampire slayers are because the slayers saved her from a group of vampires that was attacking her outside of the Bronze. Kelly looks at her best friend and notice that she is lean against the back of the seat and has her eyes shuts.
“Kennedy the bell going to ring any second you should open up your eye up.”
“I will open them up when the teacher Ah-choo start class.”
“Bless you, are you sick with another sinus infection?”
“Sniffling, I am not sure. I do not start sneezes or have a stuff up nose until I get to school. But I have been feeling under the weather since yesterday. I hope that I am not getting sick again, because after a whole summer of having sinus infection and tonsillitis I am tired of being sick.”
At the same time the bell for class to start rings and Mrs. Barton the Geometry teacher walks into the classroom, all the students notice that the teachers’ long gray hair is pulled up in a burn and that her hazel eyes that have brown around the edge of the pupil. The students also notice the teacher is wearing a long sleeve lavender ankle length dress with large pink roses on it and has a pair of pearl earing in her eyes and she is wearing flat black dress shoes. Mrs. Barton stops in front of her desk and looks around the classroom at her students. The teacher sees that all the students are in class, Mrs. Barton pick up the attendance book and a pen off her desk and marks everyone here. Then set the attendance book and a pen down on the desk.
“Good morning class and it is a beautiful Monday for the first full week of school. Get out your textbook and notebook and start writing the question from the first set of exercises for chapter one: reason in geometry that is on page eight of your textbooks down on a piece of paper and then answers the question, the assignment is due at the end of class.”
The students that do not have they textbooks, notebook and a pen out yet, get they textbooks, notebooks and pen out of they backpacks. At the same time Kennedy rise her right hand into the air and Mrs. Barton see Kennedy hand up. Mrs. Barton walks over to Kennedy and stop beside her desk, then smile at Kennedy.
“What do you need Kennedy?”
“Can I use the restroom?”
“Sure, go get the restroom pass off my desk, but do not take forever in the restroom.
“Sniffling I won’t.”
Kennedy stands up from the desk she is sitting at and then walks up to the teachers’ desk and grabs the restroom pass off the desk. Kennedy then walks out of the classroom and down the hallway. When she reaches the end of the hallway Kennedy walks up to the girl’s restroom door that is on the right-hand side of the hallway. Kennedy open up the door and walks into the restroom that has green walls, then walks over to the sinks that are on the right-hand side and set the pass down on the side of the first sink. Kennedy then looks into the mirror that is above the first sink and sees her eyes are puff and that her sinus has started to swell up. She has also start feeling pain around the eyes. At the same time her nose start running, Kennedy pulls a tissue out of the right pocket of her cargo pants and start blowing her nose into the tissues. When Kennedy stops blowing her nose there is green mucus on the tissue. Kennedy throws the use tissues in the bathroom trash can and puts her right hand on her forehead that feel clammy to the touch. Kennedy turns on the sink and washes her hands and is thinking my throat is a lot more sore then it was when I get up this morning. A few moments later Kennedy looks in the mirror again and this time open up her mouth and sees that her tonsils are a little swell and a little red too and is thinking this is not good I can’t get sick right now with a hell goddess in town and demon looking to kill all three slayers in Sunnydale. A few minutes later Kennedy walks into the Geometry classroom and set the bathroom pass on the teacher desk, then walks over to the desk that she sits at and sits down on the attached seat of the desk. Kennedy start working on her Geometry assignment and at the same time Kelly look over at her best friend and notice that Kennedy eyes are puff and her sinus are swelling up to and hear Kennedy sniffling. Kelly goes back to working on the assignment because the teacher is looking at her, when the teacher look away Kelly looks back over at Kennedy who is blowing her nose into a tissue and Kelly notices that Kennedy is lean against the back of the seat and look exhaust. And for the first time Kelly notices that Kennedy is wearing a red long sleeve shirt with a v-neckline and a pair of black congo pants when it is almost ninety degrees outside. Kelly reaches over and puts her left hand onto Kennedy’s forehead, which feel warm and clammy to the touch. Kelly takes her hand off her best friends’ forehead and then lean toward Kennedy and start whispering into her best friends’ right ear.
“I think you are running a fever because your forehead feel warm to the touch and clammy too.”
“I think you are Ah-choo right, but it is only the first whole week of school I can’t start missing days of school this soon into the school year.”
Kennedy and Kelly notice the teacher is looking at them so the two teenage girls stop talking and go back to working on the assignment. Meanwhile in the high school library, Giles is in his office reading up on the demon Toth in the Bristow's Demon Index and Watchers Codex and trying to find the best way for his slayers to kill the demon, so when the slayers come to the high school library at three o’clock in the afternoon he can tell them what to do. He has already let Buffy and Faith know and will let Kennedy know when she comes into the library during seventh hour during her free class period of the school day.
Across town at the UC Sunnydale campus daycare center, it is around seven thirty-five in the morning and Willow who wearing a purple floor length skirt and a purple short sleeve shirt with a v-neck line and Oz who wearing a pair of dark blue jean and a red T-shirt have just drop Sara and Sean at the infant through one-year-old room of the daycare center. Oz and Willow are standing outside the room looking through the large window that is on the left-hand side of the door of the classroom and are watching Sean and Sara who are laying on they tummies on the blue carpet with red polka dots doing some tummy time with the daycare teachers.
“Oz are you sure that Sara and Sean are safe and that we are making the right choice by putting them into daycare and not letting our parents watch them during the day?”
“Yes, Sean and Sara are close to us here and we will be able to check on them between our classes.”
At the same time Oz pull a red ring box out of the right pocket of his jean. Oz then kneels down on his left knee in front of Willow and open up the ring box. Willow sees an engagement ring, which has three diamonds that are one carat princess cut and are in the center of the ring, the princess cut diamonds in the center set a little higher then the two princess cut diamonds on each side of the center diamond and there are five small round diamonds inset into the band of the ring on each side of the princess cut diamonds (the wedding band that came with the engagement ring is in another red ring box at they house, in Oz’s underwear drawer). Oz takes the ring out of the box and hold the ring up in front of Willow.
“Willow Danielle Rosenberg will you marry me?”
“Yes I will marry you Daniel Osbourne.”
Oz put the engagement ring on Willow’s left ring finger, then Willow brings her left hand up and take a close look at the engagement ring that Oz just put on her ring finger and can’t believe that the ring is so beautiful. The ring is how she always pictured the engagement ring would look like, when she dreamed about Oz asking her to marry him. Oz stand up and Willow jumps into his arms and gives him a bear hug.
“I love the ring Oz, did you pick the ring out yourself or did you have help picking out the ring?”
“Xander helped me pick out the engagement ring?”
“The two of you did a great job.”
“You need to head to class now Willow.”
“You are right. I will see you when you get home from work tonight.”
“See you then too, Willow.”
Willow and Oz kiss each other good bye and then the two of them walk away from each other. Oz head to the library to study for a test in his first class and Willow heads to her first class of the day which is chemistry, which start at eight o’clock in the morning. Meanwhile at the campus apartment building that Tara and Buffy live at, Buffy is up and walking around her and Tara apartment, but is still wearing a white long sleeve pajama shirt that buttons up and white pajama pants that has sushi on them. Buffy walks into the bathroom and leaning up against the cabinet that the double sinks are inserted in and the cabinet is up against the far right-hand wall of the bathroom if standing in the bathroom door. The counter top the sinks are inserted in is a gray Formica counter top that set on top of a black base cabinet. There is a mirror over each of the sinks and between the mirrors is a medicine cabinet that is built into the wall. The gray bathtub and shower combo is up against the far left-hand wall if standing in the bathroom door. The gray toilet is after the sinks on the far right-hand wall. Buffy turns around and look into the mirror over the first sink, for a few minutes thinking about if she wants to take a shower or just get something to eat for breakfast. Buffy stop looking in the mirror and looks down the black and white tile floor, then walks out of the bathroom to head into the kitchen to get breakfast before getting ready for class. As Buffy walks down the hallway toward the kitchen she looks down at the hard wood floors that have a dark stain and are in the two bedrooms, living room, dinning room and the kitchen of the apartment. At the same time there is a knock on the apartment door. Buffy walks over to the door of the apartment and looks through the peephole and sees Kate (Lockley) Wyndam-Pryce standing outside the apartment wearing a lilac empire waist blouse and a pair of black dress pants, she also has a black massager bag. Buffy open up the door of the apartment and step aside so Kate can come in. Kate walks into the apartment and Buffy shut the door of the apartment as Kate walks over to the couch. Kate sits down on the couch by the left-hand arm of the couch and gets some folders out of the massager bag. At the same time Buffy sits down on the armchair that came from her high school bedroom. Buffy leans back in the armchair and then looks at Kate who is sixteen weeks pregnant and already has a round stomach that is a little large then an official NBA basketball (24.1 to 25.0 cm in size) and Kate is carrying the weight all up front. Buffy stops looking at Kate and looks around the apartment, as Kate lays out folders on the coffee table that is in front of the couch, that Buffy and Tara brought last weekend. Kate then open up the folders and spread pictures of people out on the coffee table.
“Why have you come to visit me this early in the morning for, also what is with all the pictures of men and women looking like they are talking to themselves?”
“The men and women are talking to themselves Buffy, I keep getting call out to check on men and women that are not making any sense at all and most of them keep say the key is so bright, there is no one in there and the lady put her hands into my head. I show these pictures and told Wesley and Rupert about this and the two of them filled me in about the hell goddess Glorificus. They also told me that Glorificus has the powers to periodically drain the sanity of human beings to maintain her own sanity. I think these men and women are victims of Glorificus, the men and women are so far gone that they have to be admitted into the hospitals mental wards, which are begin to get over filled. If these are her victims, the number of victims is going to go up until she finds the key, whatever that is. You, Faith and Kennedy need to find Glorificus and kill the hell goddess before everyone in town ends up crazy.”
“Do not worry about Glorificus, Kate and you should be taking it easy and try not to get stress because being stress could put your health and the unborn babies health at risk too.”
“I am not stress Buffy, I just wanting one of the slayers to know about this and I was near your place, so I stop by to let you know. Will you tell Faith and Kennedy about this new information?”
“That is fine and yes I will tell Faith and Kennedy when I meet with them at three o’clock this afternoon. But it does not look like you are slow down when it comes to work Kate, do not push yourself too hard at work, because you do not want to go into preterm labor.”
“I am not going out to any in progress shooting scene or car chases or working traffic anymore. If I do go to a crime scene it is after the suspect or suspects have left the scene or are in jail already. I spent most of my time doing desk work now and once in awhile I get a call to go out to murder scene or a crime scene to help collect the evidence or to interview the parents of a missing baby, kid or teenager.”
Buffy looks at Kate wrist watch and sees that it is twenty minutes after eight o’clock in the morning. Buffy stands up from the armchair, then start walks toward the kitchen. Kate stands up from the couch and follows Buffy into the kitchen. Once in the kitchen Kate looks around and see that the white refrigerator is up against the wall on the far right-hand side, if you just walk into the kitchen. The stove/oven ranger is up against the center of the wall across from the kitchen door. The base cabinets start right after the refrigerator and wrap around to the stove, then start back up after the stove and end right before the kitchen door. There is gray Formica counter on top of the base cabinets. The upper cabinets are on the wall across from the doorway and on the far left-hand wall if standing in the doorway. The base and upper cabinets are wood that is paint white. The kitchen sink is in the center of the counter top that is on the far right-hand wall if standing in the kitchen doorway. Buffy is lean up against the base cabinets on the left-hand side of the kitchen and is eating a yogurt, Buffy looks up at Kate and stop eating.
“I have to eat breakfast and then get ready for my nine o’clock class.”
“I will go put the pictures back into the folders there belong in and then put the folders into my bag. Then I will see myself out, I have an obgyn appointment that I need to get to myself.”
Kate walks out of the kitchen and heads into the living room to gather up her pictures and put them away in the folders that the pictures came out of. A few minutes later Kate has leave Tara and Buffy’s apartment and by eight thirty in the morning Buffy has finish eating and is walking to her bedroom to get dress for class. Meanwhile at Sunnydale High school, first hour has just let out and Kennedy and Kelly Barrie walk out the Geometry classroom and Kennedy is blowing her nose into a tissue. The two of them start walking to second hour, which is U.S. Government with Mr. Beach. Kelly looks over at Kennedy who has pull another tissues out of the right pocket of her cargo pants and has started sneezing into the tissue. By now Kennedy and Kelly have reached the staircase to the second floor and the two of them starts walking up the stairs because the government classroom is on the second floor. Two minutes before second hour start Kennedy and Kelly reach the third door on the right-hand side of the hallway. Kelly walks into the classroom first and Kennedy slower follows her best friend into the classroom and to the third row of desks from the door. Kelly has already sat down on the seat of the fourth desk, when Kennedy reaches the third row of desk clearing her throat and sniffling. Kennedy walks to the fifth desk in the third row and sits down on the attached desk seat. Kennedy then set her backpack on the floor by the desk and lays her head down on the desk, then close her eyes. At the same time Kelly turns around in her seat and is now facing Kennedy. Kelly then put her left-hand on Kennedy’s forehead, which is warm to the touch. Kelly takes her hand of Kennedy’s forehead and tap her best friend on the left shoulder. Kennedy open up her eyes, but does not sit up because her head is pounding.
“What do you need Kelly?”
“I just felt your forehead and you are definitely running a fever, I think you should go see the school nurse and go home sick.”
“It is too early in the school Ah-choo year for me to start missing school coughing (cover her mouth with left hand).”
“That dry hacking cough does not sound good Kennedy.”
“Sniffling it does not feel good either.”
At the same time the bell for second hour to start rings, Kennedy lifts her hand off the desk and then get her U.S. government textbook, notebook and a pen out of her backpack. Mr. Beach stands up from his desk chair, then walks in front of his desk and Kennedy pulls the last tissue out of the right pocket of her cargo pants. Kennedy then wipes her nose with the tissues because her nose has start running and the teacher clear his throat to get the class attention, the students all look up at the teacher.
“Put your textbooks and notebook away, because we are beginning the class period with a quiz on Chapter one section one: Government and the state and section two: Forms of Government. When you finish taking the quiz bring the quiz up to my desk and hand it into me. Once everyone has handed the quiz into me, I will start lecturing on section three: Basic concepts of democracy and all of you will take notes.”
All the students start to put they notebooks and textbooks under they desk seats and Mr. Beach start walking over to the first row of desk and when he gets to the first row of desk he hands five quizzes to the first person in the row, the student takes one of the quizzes and then pass four quizzes to the person sitting behind her, as the teacher hand five quiz to the first person sitting in row two. As the student in the first seat of the second row pass the quizzes to the person behind him, Mr. Beach walks up to the first desk in the third row. A minute later Kelly hand Kennedy her copy of the quiz, Kennedy takes the quiz and set it on the desk, then grabs the pen off of the desk and starts to take the quiz. Meanwhile Dawn is laying down on the recover couch in the nurse office because of a bad headache and cramping badly and has been in the nurse office since ten minutes into first hour. Dawn looks at the nurse who has just get off the phone and is now writing something down on a piece of paper.
“Did you get a hold of my mom nurse Greoliegh and did she say that I can come home?”
‘Yes and she said that you can come home. I am writing a note to Mr. Giles to let your stepfather know to give you a ride home, then I will write you a pass to leave school.”
“Thank you.”
Dawn sits up on the recover couch and grabs her backpack off the floor. A few minutes later Dawn is walks into the library, she walks up to Giles’s close office door and he jump when hear a knock on the door. Giles stand up and walk up to the door, then he open up the door to see Dawn standing there. Dawn hand Giles the note from the nurse, Giles read the note and then looks at his stepdaughter who is leaning against the doorframe crying and holding her stomach.
“Go take a seat at the study table for a few minutes, I need to put a message on the library close sign and then put the sign in the hallway in front of the library doors, then I will come back into the library and get my keys and take you home.”
“Ok.”
Dawn walks over to the study table, but does not sit down on one of the chair, but hop up onto of the table and lays down. At the sometime Giles puts the message on the close sign and it says the library will be closed for a short time because I had to leave the high school to take my stepdaughter home because she is ill, I will be back shortly. Giles carries the sign out of the library and set the sign in front of the doors. He then walks back into the library and gets his car keys out of his office. A few moments later he walks out of the office and locks his office door. Giles then walks over to the study table and tap Dawn on the right shoulder. Dawn sits up and hops off the table, grabbing her backpack of the floor and then Giles and Dawn walks out of the library. The two of them head outside to the staff parking lot and get into Giles’s beat up old Citroën. Back inside the high school Kennedy has stopped taking the quiz and is walking up to Mr. Beach desk, when she reaches the desk Kennedy picks up the box of tissues. Kennedy then turns around and walks to the third row of desk and to the last desk of the row. Kennedy set the box of tissues on the desk and then sit down on the attached desk seat. No soon then she has sat down at the desk she starts sneezing. Kennedy pulls a tissue out of the tissues’ box and covers her nose and mouth with the tissue. When she stops sneezing, Kennedy goes back to take the quiz, at nine twenty-eight in the morning Kennedy’s stand up and grabs the quiz off her desk then walk up to the front of the classroom and gives the teacher the quiz.

When Kennedy reaches her desk, she sits down on the attached desk chair and then grabs her textbook and notebook from under her desk. Kennedy set the textbook and notebook on her desk, but before Kennedy can open up the notebook to a blank page Kennedy start sneezing. Kennedy pulls a tissue out of the box of tissues and cover her nose and mouth. By the end of second hour Kennedy is a 100 percent sure that she has a bacterial sinus infection again, because she has almost all the symptoms of a sinus infection, which are a stuffy or runny nose, dry coughs (that can lasts for 10 to 14 days or longer without improvement), continuous thick green mucus discharges from the nose, persistent dull pain or swelling around the eyes, tenderness or pain in or around the cheekbones, a feeling of pressure in your head (headache), a fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit or over (thinks that she has a fever of at lest 102 degrees Fahrenheit) and pain in the upper teeth.

So far she does not have swelling of the lymph nodes (glands) in the neck, white spots or pus on the tonsils, changes in voice or difficulty swallowing.

At the same time at UC Sunnydale Campus, Faith who is wearing a pair of jeans and a black short sleeve shirt and Buffy who is wearing a pair of gray sweatpant and oversize gray T-shirt is in they hospitality and financial analysis class. Buffy is sitting at the second desk of the first row by the classroom door and Faith is sitting at the second desk of the second row next to Buffy and Buffy still has menstrual cramps that are so bad that she can’t sit up and is leaning over her desk trying not to cry, Faith looks over at Buffy and can tell that she is in a lot of pain. Faith’s lean toward Buffy and starts whisper into Buffy’s ear.
“B is something wrong?”
“I’m not feeling well, I have very painful menstrual cramps and I can’t sit up.”
“B go home and rest until we have to meet G, I will give you copies of all ours classes notes at the high school library.”
“Thanks Faith’s I am going to do that, I have never had menstrual cramps that hurt this bad before.”
Buffy stop leaning over her desk and gather up her textbook and notebook and then put them into her backpack. Buffy slower and quietly stand up from the desk and walks out of the classroom door, shutting the door quietly behind her. Buffy walks out of the building that her class is in and starts walking to the building that Tara and her apartment located in. Ten minutes later Buffy walks into her and Tara’s apartment and shut the apartment door, then lock the door. Buffy walks through the apartment into her bedroom and grabs the heating pad off the nightstand that is on the left-hand side of the bed, which is where she set the heating pad this morning. Buffy lays down on her bed and put the heating pad onto her abdomen and turns on the heating pad on hope that it will help provide some relief from the cramps. At the same time Willow is in her Chemistry lab and Oz is in his history of music class. The rest of the morning and part of the afternoon goes by slow for Faith and Buffy. Buffy’s spend the rest of the morning and most of the afternoon laying in bed with the heating pad on her abdomen because of painful cramps and trying not to think about the demon that is in town looking for her, Faith and Kennedy. Faith is keep busy with classes all morning and part of the afternoon and does not have time to think about anything that is not relation to the class she is in. For Kennedy third, forth, fifth and sixth hours go by really slowly and when the bell for sixth hour Chemistry class to end rings Kennedy’s put her textbook, notebook and pen into her backpack and then stands up from the stool she was sitting on. Kelly who is already at the classroom door is looking at her best friend who is moving very slower. At the same time Kennedy cover her mouth with her left hand and start coughing into her hand. Kelly walks away from the door and toward Kennedy who is still at the back of the Chemistry classroom. When Kelly reaches her best friend Kennedy is sneezing into a tissue and the two of them are the only ones left in the classroom.
“Kennedy we have a free period now, how about I give you a ride home instead of us hanging out in the library?”
“No Ah-choo I have to go to the library to check in with Giles, do fight training and work on homework.”
“Kennedy you are sick. I am sure that Mr. Giles would understand you not checking in with him along with skipping out on fight training and working on homework doing seventh hour and after school.”
“No there is Ah-choo a new demon in town looking to kill all the slayers and I have to Ah-choo check in with Giles, slayers do not get sick Ah-choo days.”
“Ok, I am going to take off and head home. I will see you tomorrow or whenever you come back to school because I do not think that you will be in school tomorrow or the rest of the week.”
“Ah-choo I will see you around.”
Kelly walks away from Kennedy and leaves the classroom. Kennedy grabs her backpack off the lab table and then slower walks toward the classroom door, wipes her runny nose on a tissue. A minute later Kennedy is walking down the hallway and to the library not watching where she is going because she is sneezing into a tissue, that a minute ago she was using to stop a runny nose. Kennedy walk right into Principal Snyder, she looks up to see whom she ran into and see Principal Snyder who is wearing a pair of black suit pants, a black suit jacket, a long sleeve white dress shirt under the suit jacket and a black and green stripe tie and Principal Snyder start yelling at her.
“You should watch where you are going because you could have hurt yourself or someone else!”
“Sorry I will look where I am going for now on.”
Kennedy stops talking and turns her hand away from Principal Snyder because she feels a sneeze coming on. Kennedy looks at the tissue, but the tissue is to full to use anymore. Kennedy put her left elbow up to her mouth and nose and start sneezes into her elbow. At the same time Principal Snyder takes a few steps back.
“You should be heading to your seventh hour class!”
“Sniffling I Ah-choo have a free period.”
“Then head to the student lounge or the library and stop sharing your germs with me!”
Principal Snyder walks away from Kennedy before she can say anything to him. Kennedy tosses the use tissue into one of the hallway trash can and then start walking down the hallway again, two minutes later she walks through the library doors and over to the study table. Kennedy tosses her backpack onto the study table and then sit down on the end chair that is across from Giles’s office. At the same time Giles and Doyle who wearing a pair of khaki pant and blue short sleeve polo shirt walks out of Giles office and over to the study table.
“Sniffling what are you doing in the school library during school hours Doyle?”
“I had to talk to Rupert Giles and let him know that I had a vision about Drusilla and Spike.”
“Ah-choo what was the vision of Spike and Drusilla about?”
“Bless you, Kennedy. Drusilla and Spike went to L.A. and to Wolfram & Hart and had the medical team at Wolfram & Hart remove both of they behavior chips.”
“Coughing, that is not good.”
“No, it is not good Kennedy and the two of them are planing on coming back to Sunnydale in the near future. There is also a second part Wolfram & Hart has brought Darla back as a human, Giles and I agree that you, Buffy and Faith should know, but for now Angel should not be told about Darla being back until I have more visions that will let us know what Darla is up to.”
“Ah-choo if that what you two think is right.”
“(Giles and Doyle) for now keep the news of Darla being alive from Angel is the right thing to do, we need Angel at the top of his game with a hell demon in town and the demon Toth in town too.”
“Sniffling ok, Giles and Doyle are either of you cold?”
“(Giles and Doyle) No.”
Kennedy start coughing and covers her mouth with her right hand and at the same time Giles pulls the key to the book cage out of his left pant pocket and Doyle looks through the windows of the library doors and notice Principal Snyder in the hallway with his back to the library doors.
“Giles and Kennedy I am going to get going before Principal Snyder sees me.”
Doyle walks into Giles’s office and grabs his car key off Giles’s desk and a box of tissues. Then Doyle walks out of Giles’s office and over to the study tables. Doyle set the box of tissues in front of Kennedy and then walks to the back door of the library that leads outside. At the same time Kennedy pull a tissue out of the box of tissues and then start to blow her nose into the tissue and Giles is putting the close sign out in the hallway, which says close for restocking the bookcases. A minute later Giles unlocks the door of the book cage and then walks into the book cage and grabs two swords out of the cabinet. Giles then walks out of the book cage and over to Kennedy who has put her feet up on the study table and is lean against the back of the chair with her eyes closed.
“Kennedy it is time for sword training until Faith and Buffy gets here for the meeting at three o’clock.“
“Sniffling, ok Giles’s training with swords coughing sound like a lot of fun to me.”
Kennedy takes her legs off the study table, then stand up the chair and takes one of the swords from her watcher. Kennedy walks a few feet away from her watcher and turns so she is facing Giles. Kennedy then clears her throat and at the same time Giles swings his sword and Kennedy block Giles’s swords with her sword. After five minutes of training with the swords, Kennedy nose starts runny and Giles and Kennedy takes a break from training so Kennedy can get a tissue to wipe her nose. After wiping her nose Kennedy pulls another tissue out of the box of tissues and blows her nose into the tissues several time. Kennedy then tosses the used tissues into the trash can and grab the sword off of the study table, but before Kennedy and Giles can start training, Kennedy start coughing and when she stops coughing she and Giles goes back to sword fighting training. Kennedy gives the training session a 110 percent even though she feels like she been hit by a truck.

Meanwhile Giles who is achy badly after sword fighting with Kennedy from 1:35 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. walks into the book cage and over to the cabinet. Giles puts the swords into the cabinet and then shut and locks up the cabinet. A few moments later Giles walks out of the book cage cleaning his glasses and start talking at the same time.
“Buffy, Kennedy and Faith will have several things to talk about before you go out looking for the demon Toth and your nightly patrol for vampires. The first thing I need to tell the three of you about is I had a visit from Doyle and he told me about three visions he had.”
“(Faith, Kennedy and Buffy) what is the three visions that Doyle had about?”
“The two of the visions deal with what is currently going on in Sunnydale. The first one is an increase in crazy people in Sunnydale, which is a result of Glorificus drain human sanity periodically to maintain her own sanity, she does this by stick her hands into the male or female head and then drain they sanity, she can also use this method to learn everything that is in the person head.”
“(Buffy and Faith) she drains people mind to keep her sanity and to learn what they know that is not right!”
“No, it is not right Faith and Buffy and the second main one deals with an item that is call the Dagon Sphere, which is a mystical crystal ball created to repel that which cannot be named, the orb is used for protective by repelling evil. The orb continuously gives off a yellowish glow and the glow gets brighter when it is reacting to a powerful evil being. Doyle says that in his vision he saw the Dagon Sphere outside of abandon warehouse that is in Sunnydale and he thinks that the Dagon Sphere will repel Glorificus.”
“G what is the other visions about?”
“The next one is about Spike and Drusilla, the two of them went to L.A. and to Wolfram & Hart and had Wolfram & Hart medical team remove they behavior chips and two of them are planing on coming back to Sunnydale in the near future. ”
“(Faith and Buffy) Great now we have to deal with fighting Dru who is crazy and Spike along with a hell goddess can this year get any worse?”
“Yes, Doyle had another vision about Wolfram & Hart and Wolfram & Hart has brought Darla back as a human, Doyle and I agree that the three of you should know about Darla, but for now Angel should not be told about Darla being back until Doyle has more visions that will let us know what Darla is up to.”
“(Buffy and Faith) that is fine, Angel and Darla have a long history and he should not know about Darla being back yet, we need him at the top of his game and helping us fight Glorificus, not trying to find Darla and help her deal with everything that she did as a vampire.”
“Ahem Giles’s do you have Ah-choo any idea where the demon Toth is at?”
“No Kennedy but he is somewhere in town looking for you, Faith and Buffy. I want the three of you to head out to look for the demon Toth right now and do not go home until Toth is killed and the body buried or burned.”
“(Kennedy, Dawn and Faith) we leave right now.”
The three slayers stand up from the chairs they are sitting on. Faith grabs her bag off the study table and put the shoulder strap of the bag onto her left shoulder. At the same time Kennedy grab her backpack off of the study table and then puts her backpack onto her back. Kennedy then reaches for the box of tissues that is on the study table and grabs several handfuls of tissues out of the tissue’s box and puts the tissues into the right pocket of her cargo pants. Then Faith, Buffy and Kennedy walk to the back door of the library, when they get to the door Faith open up the back door of the library and then she walks outside. Buffy walks out the back door of the library next and is followed by Kennedy who is coughing a dry hacking cough into her right hand, which is making her throat really sore. A minute later the three slayers are walking away from Sunnydale High School. After walking a few minutes’ Kennedy pulls a tissue out of the right pant pocket and start wipe her runny nose with the tissue. When she finishes wiping her nose Kennedy pull another tissues out of her pant pocket and starts blowing her nose into the tissue. Buffy who is on Kennedy’s right side and Faith who is on Kennedy’s left side turns they head and look at Kennedy who is still blowing her nose. Then Faith and Buffy’s steps in front of Kennedy and looks at the young slayer who looks tired, flushed and has puff eyes. In addition Kennedy sound really congestion, Kennedy stop walking and looks at the two older slayers and at the same time Faith then put her right hand onto Kennedy’s forehead, which feels warm to the touch. Faith takes her hand of Kennedy’s forehead and gives Kennedy a worry look and start to talk.
“It feels like you are running a fever Kennedy and you have a runny nose with green mucus, keep sneezing and you have a dry cough too. How are you feeling?”
“Sniffling I have a sinus headache, swelling sinuses, which is making my eye puff, swelling tonsils, a sore throat that is very red, a cough, can’t stop sneezing and my nose Ah-choo will not stop running and I am cold, but I feel well enough to searching for Toth and kill him.”
“(Buffy and Faith) then let get back to searching for Toth.”
Faith and Buffy start walking again and Kennedy follows behind them a few feet and is fighting the urge to sneeze, but lose the fight and start sneezing. Kennedy pulls a tissue out of her right cargo pant pocket and start sneezing into the tissue, thinking why did I told Buffy and Faith that I feel well enough to search for Toth when it feels like I have been hit by a truck and I am exhaust too. Kennedy puts her right hand on her forehead and it feels clammy, Kennedy takes her hand off of her forehead, then feel her neck and it feels like her lymph nodes are swelling. At the same time her nose starts running again, Kennedy pulls another tissues out of her right pant pocket and starts to wipe her nose with the tissue. A few minute later Faith, Buffy and Kennedy turn left onto Second Street and start walking west keeping an eye out for Toth, Faith also keeps looking over at Kennedy to see how the youngest slayer is doing and can tell that Kennedy is giving her slayer duty in searching for Toth a 110 percent, despite being ill. Faith, Buffy and Kennedy’s have reached the intersection of Second Street and Beaumont Street when the three slayers see the back of a demon in front of them that match Toth describes and in his right hand the demon is carrying a half staff, which matching the Ferula Gemini describe. Faith open up her bag and take out two swords, one that goes by the name Hadhafang and the other by the name Andúril, Faith hands Hadhafang sword to Kennedy and keeps Andúril sword for herself. At the same time Buffy run up to the demon and grab the half staff out of his right hand, then run away from the demon. Then Faith and Kennedy run in front of the demon, Kennedy swing the sword that is in her right hand but Toth grab the youngest slayer right arm and lift Kennedy off the ground. Toth then tosses Kennedy over his head and the young slayer fly through the air and land on Buffy and both slayers land on the sidewalk and on top of the Ferula Gemini, which lands under Buffy and get breaking from the weight of Buffy and Kennedy. At the same time Faith jumps up and swings her sword at Toth neck and cut the demon head off and Toth head and body fall to the ground. Faith’s feet hits the sidewalk right as the demon body hit the sidewalk. Faith grabs her long large bag off of the sidewalk and then walks away from the demon body and a few feet from the body she picks up the Hadhafang sword that fall to the ground as Kennedy was flying through the air. Faith puts the Hadhafang sword into the bag, as she walks over to Buffy and Kennedy, which are ten feet away. When Faith reaches Kennedy and Buffy, she wipes the Andúril sword off in the grass and then puts the sword into the bag. At the same time Kennedy crawls off of Buffy and then Buffy stands up from the sidewalks and looks down at the broken Ferula Gemini. At the same time Kennedy sits down on the sidewalk and looks up at Faith and Buffy. Kennedy then starts sneezing and pulls a tissue out of her right pant pocket, then cover her mouth and nose with the tissue. Buffy and Faith walks over to Kennedy and kneels down in front of the youngest slayer. At the same time Kennedy brings her knees up to her chest, then wraps her arms around her knees and lands her head on her knees. Buffy and Faith looks at each other and then look at Kennedy who is coughing into her knees. Buffy looks over at Faith again and tap Faith on her left shoulder. Faith turns her head and looks at Buffy.
“Faith’s take Kennedy home and get Kennedy into bed and stay home with her tonight, I will take care of Toth head and body and I will get Riley to go on patrol with me tonight and we will take the east half of the town and I will call Angel and Gunn and have them patrol the west half town tonight.”
“Are you sure B?’
“Yes and I will call Giles and let him know that Toth is dead and there is one less demon in Sunnydale for him to worry about.”
“Ok, B then I will see you in our shared classed tomorrow.”
“Bye Faith and Kennedy.”
“(Faith and Kennedy) Bye.”
Buffy stands up and then walks away from Faith and Kennedy and walk over to the head and body of the dead demon. Buffy then picks up the head of the demon in her left hand and grab the body of the demon with her right hand and start walking toward the wood to get rid of the demon head and body. At the same time Faith stand up and then pulls Kennedy to her feet, once Kennedy is on her feet she pulls a tissue out of her right pant pocket. Kennedy then starts to wipe her nose because it is running again. A few moments later Faith and Kennedy have starts to walk to the castle they live in. The normal five minutes walks from Beaumont Street to George street and up the long driveway to the castle Faith and Kennedy live in is taking a lot longer then normal because Kennedy is exhaust and is walking very slowly and Faith can tell by just looking at Kennedy that she is not feeling well, so she is not making Kennedy walk any faster. Twenty minutes later Faith walks up the steps to the front door of the castle (the glass back door of the castle is in the dinning room and on the right-hand side of the large arched fireplace if looking at the fireplace), when Faith reaches the front door she unlocks the door. Faith then stands by the front door and watch Kennedy slowly walking up the driveway. A few minutes later Kennedy walks up the steps and to the front door. Kennedy walks inside the castle and then Faith follow her inside and shut the door behind her. Faith locks the front door and then looks over at Kennedy who is leaning against the doorframe of the doorway to the room that the staircase is in. Faith walks over to Kennedy and tap Kennedy on her right shoulder.
“Go upstairs to your bedroom and changes into your pajama. I will be upstairs in ten minutes to take your temperature. I am going to go call Xander right now and have him pick up Destiny from daycare tonight.”
“Ah-choo ok see you Ah-choo in ten minutes.”
Kennedy walks through the doorway that lead into the first room on the right-hand side if your back is to the front door. Kennedy walks over to the staircase and then start walking up the stairs slowly and is wiping her runny nose with a tissue again. A few minutes later Kennedy walks into her bedroom and shut the door behind her. Kennedy then walks over to the end of her bed, which is where she lay the pair of oversized black sweatpant and an oversized black nightshirt this morning after getting dress. Kennedy changes into the pair of oversized black sweatpant and an oversized black nightshirt and then walks over to her bedroom door and open it up. Kennedy then walks over to the bed and gets into bed and pull up the purple bedspread because she is cold. Kennedy then lays her head down on her pillows and waits for Faith. Eight minutes later Faith walks into Kennedy’s bedroom with the pink digital oral thermometer and the thermometer already has a probe cover on and a box of Alka-seltzer Plus severe sinus congestion allergy and cough in her in her right hand and bottle of water in her left hand. Kennedy sits up in bed, as Faith walks over to Kennedy’s bed and Kennedy takes the pink digital oral thermometer from Faith and turn the thermometer on. Kennedy then puts the thermometer into her mouth. At the same time Faith gets two Alka-seltzer Plus severe sinus congestion allergy and cough pills out of the box.

“Kennedy you are running a fever of 102.9 degrees Fahrenheit, I want you to take these two Alka-seltzer Plus severe sinus congestion allergy and cough pills, then drink some water and stay in bed and rest of the day.”
“Ok Ah-choo.”
Faith hands Kennedy the two pills and Kennedy puts the pills into her mouth and Kennedy then take the bottle of water from Faith. Kennedy takes the cap of the bottle of water and takes a drink of water and swallow the pills and water. Kennedy then set the bottle of water on the nightstand on the right-hand side of the bed, if laying on you back on the bed. Kennedy lay back down and pulls the covers up.
“Do you want anything to eat?”
“Sniffling not right now, I am just going to take a nap.”
“That is fine Kennedy I will check on you in a few hours.”
“Ok, will you get me a box of tissue.”
“Sure Kennedy, I will be right back.”
Faith walks out of Kennedy’s bedroom and goes and walks into the second floor bathroom that is across from Kennedy’s bedroom. Once in the bathroom Faith grabs a box of tissues from under the bathroom sink. A few moments later she walks back into Kennedy’s bedroom and over to the bed and set the box of tissues on the nightstand that is on the right-hand side of the bed if laying on you back on the bed. Faith open up the box of tissues and then Faith’s pulls a tissue out of the box and hand the tissue to Kennedy and Kennedy take the tissue from Faith, then wipes her nose because it is running. Faith walks out of Kennedy’s bedroom and heads downstairs to work on homework for her college classes.

But it is a very long night for Faith who was up keep an eye on a very sick Kennedy and taking care of Kennedy all night.
