Chapter 2
Buffy came home to find her older sister Dawn, the vampire Slayer, sitting in the living room going over the photo albums. “Why are you home?” she asked suspiciously.
Dawn stood up. “I was just trying to reminisce. Mom left us, and we moved here with Dad?”
“Uh, yeah. Daddy died last year. Mom never even contacted us.” Buffy gave Dawn a sneering look. “Of course, who’s to say you actually contacted her. You always hated Mom because Dad loved her.”
Dawn was flabbergasted by what she was learning about her other self. There was no way she could be such a selfish, cold-hearted bitch. “This is all wrong,” she mumbled.
Buffy let out a snort. “Never stopped you before. Look, you go patrol. I’ll decorate for my moving out party.”
“It’s a birthday party,” Dawn protested.
“Whatever.” Buffy waved her hand in the air. “Just get out of my hair for a while so I can decorate.”

Dawn strolled through the graveyard with an axe in her hand. “I don’t know what Buffy’s always complaining about. This is so easy.”
Suddenly a large red skinned demon with shaggy black hair and spikes coming out of the back of its head appeared in front of Dawn. She let out a startled shriek. The demon swung its large sword at her head, and only the instinct to live saved Dawn’s life. She held her axe up in front of her.
The demon shimmered and disappeared. Dawn looked around in confusion, not seeing the demon appear behind her. When it growled, she swung around. With a stroke of luck, she happened to catch it alongside the head with her axe. The demon fell to the ground sending its sword up into the air, but it was up within an instant.
“Stay down, darn it.” Dawn put out a hand to catch the falling sword. She stabbed the demon in the stomach. A blue circle of light flashed out from the wound making the demon roar while it grabbed at its guts.
Dawn pulled the sword out of the demon’s stomach. The sudden give of the weapon made her fall back on the ground and roll a few feet away. The sword fell point down into the soil.
When the demon roared again, he fell to his knees, shimmered, and turned into a bolt of silver light that shot into the sword. If anyone had been looking they would have seen his face inside the shiny blade.
Dawn still faced the other direction. When she turned around, she realized the demon was gone. “Hehe, that wasn’t so hard. I can do anything Buffy can do, better. He ran off. Afraid to face a true warrior.” She scrambled to her feet, and she grabbed up the sword and axe.
“Oh, pretty,” Dawn said when she hefted the sword into the air. She glanced up at the stars. “Time to get back to Buffy’s party. This is such a crazy, wacked out world. Wonder if they have shrimp here?”
Dawn strolled towards the Revello Drive home she shared with her sister, at least temporarily. She still couldn’t get over how different her counterpart was in this reality. Was there something about being the Slayer that made a girl change so fundamentally? Dawn certainly didn’t feel comfortable enough with the stranger that was her Watcher to ask him.

Buffy looked around at the decorations with a grin. Dawn would have a hard time removing these. Willow and Tara had shown her a little permanent sticking charm. Buffy covered her mouth to giggle.
“Havin’ fun, pet?” Spike’s voice sounded from the kitchen.
Buffy giggled again. “Yeah, how about you?”
“Doing good in here. You stay put though,” Spike said a little louder. “Don’t want to spoil the surprise now do we?”
“We’ll keep her in here,” Willow said. “We’re not letting our birthday girl have a bad birthday.”
Giles strolled into the living room with a glass of soda in his hand. He handed Buffy an envelope. “Happy birthday, my dear.”
“What’s this?”
“Just open it,” Tara said. She peeked out from beneath her bangs. “It’s your first present.”
Buffy tore open the envelope, and she took out the sheet of paper. She quickly read over the contents before she pressed the papers against her chest, and her eyes filled with tears. “Oh guys, my very own apartment, rented for six months. You’re all so sweet.”
“Anything to get you away from your sister and her buddies,” Richard sneered. He was a latecomer to the group, having met the Scooby gang through Xander and Cordelia. He was one of Xander’s construction co-workers. Richard handed Buffy another envelope. “This is from Sophie, Clem, and I.”
Buffy put down the first envelope while she grabbed the second. She tore this envelope open with as much fervor as she had the other. She glanced over the contents. “And furniture too.”
Sophie shrugged. “Daddy owns Leon’s Furniture Depot. He had some extra stuff that was paid for but never picked up. You know how Sunnydale can be.”
The front door opened, and Dawn strode into the house. She had an axe in one hand and sword in the other. “Greetings!” she called out in a happy voice.
“Look at her. She’s already anticipating your leaving,” Richard muttered. He took a big gulp of his beer. He disliked Dawn on sight, but since she had a crush on him he used himself to buffer the Scoobs from the Slayer. He climbed to his feet, and he strolled over to Dawn. “Hey, baby. Maybe tonight is your lucky night.”
“What?” Dawn dropped the sword. “Ewww, I don’t think so.”
Buffy let out a snort. “What changed your mind, Dawnie dear? Last time Richard came by you were all over him like flies on shit.”
Dawn had no idea what to say to that little kernel of information. She didn’t like this version of herself at all. She appeared to be a slut that abandoned her family at a drop of her hat. Despite her issues with Slayer!Buffy, at least her sister wasn’t trying to kick her to the curb.
“It doesn’t matter,” Buffy declared. “With the nice gifts my real family is giving me for my birthday, I will be moving out tonight at midnight.”
Cordelia strolled into the living room from the kitchen with Xander trailing along behind her with a tray of drinks in his hands. She wrinkled her nose when she saw Dawn, but she ignored her to turn to Buffy. She held out an envelope to the young girl. “As you know, I recently was able to take over the April Fool’s Formal Wear.”
Buffy’s eyes filled with tears. “You’re letting me get a Prom dress?”
Cordelia threw a dirty look at Dawn. “Of course! Any gown in the store. I’m not like Miss Stingy over there expecting you to wear a dress from that nasty little store next to the city dump.”
Dawn felt her face glow with embarrassment. “I’ll just put these away.” She took the axe to the weapons chest, but she found out the sword was too long. She turned back to the Scoobies unsure of what she should say or do.
Xander handed out drinks, ignoring Dawn while he catered to the others.
“Where’s our birthday girl?” Willow came out of the kitchen. She went over to stand next to Tara. “I know Tara and I have had our differences lately, but we were able to settle on this for you.”
Buffy was presented with another envelope. She gave Willow and Tara a grin. The papers from Cordelia joined the envelopes containing the apartment rent and the furniture. “I saw you two out looking at cars last week. Did you buy me a car?”
“I don’t bloody think so, luv.” Spike called out from the kitchen again. “There is no way any of us trust you with a car. You are a bloody awful driver.”
Buffy laughed. “So, I’m Buffy the Bloody, just like you, Spike.”
“That you are.” Spike appeared across the foyer at the dining room door. “Hurry up and open the envie, pet. It’s time for cake.”
“Okay. Okay.”
