In "Helpless" Buffy wondered what if she lost her Slayer side. The strong girl who can fight bad guys and protect herself. She was scared because she now knows about the vampires, and all the things that hide beneath her bed. She couldn't grasp the possibility of getting back to being a normal human, as much as she's always wished for it (for normal life). Lucky for her, she got her the Slayer back, it was just the drugs that Giles has injected her that made her weak.

But ever wondered what would happen if she suddenly stops being a Slayer and returns to be a normal girl?
 
Well, it wouldn't be as big a deal as it would have been when she was the only slayer. However, so much of her life has been dedicated to fighting demons that it's kind of the only life she knows. She might briefly enjoy being able to live a "normal life", but I feel like she'd want to help people and go back to fighting evil so she could feel like she's worth something in the world. I'm not saying she'd be worthless with no powers, not at all. I'm just saying how I think she as a character would feel - and that is to be as important and strong as she used to be!
 
I don't think that Buffy, powers or no powers, could ever be a "normal" girl. The very existence of Season 8 proved that. With literally thousands of new Slayers all around the world, there was no reason whatsoever that Buffy couldn't have walked away from the battle. She's there because she WANTS to be there, because without the fight, her life isn't complete. If by some chance she actually were to permanently lose her Slayer powers, she would go right on fighting, just like Cordy or Fred, doing everything that she could do with whatever she had to do it with.
 
I think she can't stop being the Slayer becasue if she ould stop she would always think about peoples who died becasue she was sitting at home, watching TV or whatever!
So it's her side who wants to protect ohters from evil who prevent her of stoping a slayer. Even without Superpowers she would try to kill Vampires. Of course not in the way she did it before, but I am sure she would find a way!
