{Hope you enjoy and please send me your thoughts. A few things to know: the timeline on Buffy has changed so that it will fit with TVD. Also in this story Buffy moved to Sunnydale during the middle of her freshman year, everything else in Buffy between season 1 and 2 is pretty much canon only the battle with Angel happened a few months before the end of the second year.}

Sunnydale, California - August 21st, 2009 8.00am

Buffy sits there on the couch staring off into space, trying not to break down as she relives the last few days in her head. They had only gotten back from L.A a week ago.

After the battle with Angel five months ago Buffy had come home and had broken down crying, her mother had just held her telling her it was going to be all right. They had spent hours talking, after telling her what had happened with Acathla and Angel, Joyce had decided that Buffy needed time away from Sunnydale to grief.

The time had been good for them both; they had reconnected and were closer than ever.

However, Buffy in that time had also learned that Joyce had had many health problems over the past year, due to a brain tumour but luckily she was now in recovery.

Two days after returning to Sunnydale Buffy had gone to see the gang, however, when she had returned home she had called for her mother only to find her on the couch, no longer breathing. After the EMP had declared Joyce dead Buffy's first instinct had been to call Giles. He had rushed to the Summer's residence seeing Buffy, she was frozen unable to peel her eyes away from her mother's corpse. He had comforted her and had called Willow to come and take Buffy so that he could go and handle everything that needed to be done.

So now, days later Buffy was sat in Willows living room with Wil, Oz, Cordy and Xander waiting for Giles to come back from Joyce's Lawyer's office. She had not spoken since finding her mother and she had barely eaten.

Buffy herself felt nothing, she was nothing but an empty shell. In the past five months, it had been her mother getting her through the pain of killing the man she loved and now she's gone. Her Mother was gone. She had nothing left, she was 17 years old, had been expelled from two different schools; she had lost the man she loved and now the person who she loved most is gone. What was she going to do?
