-1Hi. This is a story that I actually have posted somewhere else as well but I wanted to put out in other places too, so here it is. It's basically a season re-write, but the whole re-writing doesn't start in this chapter, this is just to get it on the road. Hope you enjoy it, and tell me what you think. Thanks.-ThomThom

Chapter One: Three Is Better Than One

They were in yet another new town, wondering around looking for something to get into, whether legal or illegal, but this time they had a little bit of a reason for being there. They were looking for a girl, a girl named Buffy Summers, she was the slayer, and unbeknownst to her, she wasn't the only one. Faith and Kennedy hadn't had much to do sense their watcher died, and there was no way that they wanted to go and live with their parents, so they'd do freelance jobs instead to pass the time. One night, they wandered into a next of vampires, wandered as in found the nest and set it on fire, one of the vampires mentioned a name…Buffy Summers, and so they were on the move once again. It was Faith who had decided that they would go and find 'the slayer', she was the older of the two, and so she was in charge. She only wanted to go to prove that she was better then the only known slayer, after one of the vampires assumed that she was some chick named Buffy, she wasn't exactly happy.

"Do I look like someone with the name Buffy?"

Kennedy laughed, "no, but Faith isn't much better," her sister shot her a look, "you know considering that you're all scanky…if I saw you on a street somewhere I'd think your name would be Jewels or some kind of random hooker name."

She shoved her sister into a wall and kept walking like nothing happened, "I think this is the place," she looked up at the sign above the door, "I'm looking forward to meeting this Betty chick."

"Her name's Buffy," Kennedy said as she walked up to her sister, rubbing her soar arm, "yeah this is it, The Bronze…that's lame," they walked into the club, both shocked to see so many people that were there, "apparently lame names attract lame people."

"So what does this chick look like again?" Faith asked as she pushed her way through the crowd, she spotted a cute guy, and smiled, "they're not all lame…some of them look like they'd be able to help me out, if you know what I mean."

"What?" she followed her sister's eyes, spotting some guy with short spiked hair grinning, "ewe…that's fucking nasty. We are not here for you to find another boy-toy," annoyed by her sisters short attention span, and abnormal sex drive, she just continued to make her way through the crowd. Then she accidentally knocked someone's drink out of their hand, "oh shit, I'm sorry."

"You better watch it loser," the brunette girl said angrily.

Kennedy frowned, "whoa, I said I was sorry."

"Well I don't accept your apology."

"What are you five?" she stepped up to the girl, "I said I was sorry so back off," somehow, this always seemed to happen to her. She and Faith would go somewhere, Faith would leave her so she could get laid, and then some random asshole would want to fight her. Usually, it would be a guy, but this time it was some prep girl in a tight blue dress. Which Kennedy would usually think was hot, but conceited wasn't her type, and it was obvious that this girl was full of herself, "what's your name?"

"Excuse you? I don't think my name is important right about now, but you know what is," Kennedy raised her eyebrows signaling her to continue, "you buying me another drink."

"That's funny, I thought you said I was going to buy you a drink," she smiled, "I only buy drink for the girls I want to sleep with…you're not one of them," the girl looked at her, shocked by what she just said. A group of girls started to gather behind her, one with blonde her stepping up further then the rest, "oh you've got to be kidding me…please tell me your name is not Buffy."

"What a freak…my name is not Buffy, it's Harmony," the blonde headed girl said.

This made Kennedy smile even harder, "oh good that means I can do this," she reached over to two random people and grabbed their drinks, then she poured them all over the two annoying girls in front of her. They both started to scream as the cold liquid ran down their dressed. Kennedy smiled, "you look better wet…that sounded a little naughty didn't it?" she shrugged, "oh well."

"You freak!" the girls ran off with their friends, giving the mystery girl dirty looks as they did.

Kennedy waved at them as she laughed hysterically, "there are moments that are just too good to pass up," she said to herself. Getting back to why she was there in the first place, she searched for her sister in the crowd so they could get back to business, but what she saw when she found her let her know that she was on her own for awhile. Faith had already managed to get the spike-haired guy on one of the sofas in a corner, and they were now in the middle of a heavy makeout session, "great."

"Wow, anyone that manages to get Cordelia to run out of here screaming deserves a high-five in my book."

She turned around to see some geeky guy staring at her with his hand in the air, "I'm sorry?"

"Oh, I'm Xander," he said nervously, then he realized what he just said, and hit himself on the head, "yeah, that was…I know that you're name isn't sorry," she continued to stare at him like he was crazy, not saying a single word, making him even more nervous. It wasn't like he approached girls all the time, or ever really, "yeah I don't usually do this…that's probably obvious."

It was obvious, it had been a while since she had been hit on by a guy, simply because she didn't close enough to them for them to say anything, and now she knew why. Despite the fact that she wasn't really in the mood to socialize, she decided to give the guy a break, he seemed nice and he did just make a fool of himself, "I think you did pretty well…but try not to mention another girl while you're hitting on someone that you're interested in," she leaned over, "it kind of ruins it."

He laughed, "thanks for the tip…so are you new in town?" he asked since the girl wasn't running in the other direction.

"Yeah, me and my sister just moved here actually."

"That's cool, which part of town do you live in?" he asked trying to keep the conversation going.

There was no way she could answer that question, they weren't staying anywhere, and she knew nothing about the town to randomly pick a place, "well we haven't officially moved…we're thinking about it."

"Ah, well Sunny-D is a great place, we have The Bronze here and…" he looked up as he thought, "the high school, and…well that's it," they both laughed, making him feel even more confident, "sounds fun doesn't it?"

"Yeah, I'm sure it's a blast," normally she wouldn't do this, she wouldn't start talking to random people, because she knew that making friends for even a second was a bad idea. It's not like they were staying, and if she did make friends, she'd be wondering what life would be like if she was able to stay and really get to know them for the next couple of weeks, but it's not like she had anything better to do. It's not like she was the one wanting to fight 'the slayer' she'd only come because of her sister, who was occupied at the moment, "you lived here long?"

"Forever," he smiled a goofily, glad to see that she was still wanting to talk to him, "it's not as boring as it seems…um you wanna come and sit with me and my friends?"

She gulped, 'not a good idea Kennedy, we're here for once reason, and one reason alone', as she though this, she had already said sure and was being guided to Xander's group of friends. There were three of them, a girl with Red hair that immediately caught her eye, "this is Willow," he said, then there was some guy with black hair that was awfully close to the read head, "this is Oz," he said, and then last he introduced a blonde girl that was at the table, "and this is Buffy. Everyone, this is Kennedy."

Buffy smiled, "nice to meet you Kennedy."

"You too," she couldn't help but feel disappointed about the fact that Xander was friends with the slayer her sister had come to fight, it was just her luck for something to go wrong.

"Kennedy's new in town, hasn't even found a place yet," Xander said as he offered her a chair and then sat down next to her, "I'm trying to convince her to stay…it's not going well."

Willow smiled, "aww, we'll have to fix that," she looked over to Oz, "what are some great things about Sunnydale?" before he could answer she turned back to Kennedy, "oh, there are mochas…really good mochas."

"Yes, mochas that you should stop drinking," Buffy said while giving her friend a look.

Willow just rolled her eyes, "I'm just trying to help."

"I think you're very helpful," Oz said sweetly, then they kissed each other, just a quick peck, "I think I want to move to Sunny-D too."

"Aw, that's sweet," the red head said as she stared into the boy's eyes.

Buffy laughed, "forgive them, they tend to forget that some of us don't want to see them make puppy dog eyes at each other. I keep trying to tell them that not all of us-" she trailed off as she noticed a girl approaching them. It wasn't just the scanky outfit that caught her attention, in a bad way I might add, but as soon as they made eye contact, she felt something…something she had felt once before, "oh my god she's a-"

"Hey sis," Faith said as she walked up behind Kennedy, "seems like the guy was lame anyway…this place sucks…he sucked, and not in a good way," she noticed that the people that her sister was sitting with were looking at her like she was crazy, "do I have a hickey or something/" she asked as she touched her neck.

"No, you're hickey free," Buffy said as she stared at the girl, "so you guys are sisters then?"

Kennedy had noticed the look in the blonde girl's eyes when her sister had come over, it was obviously that she was feeling something strange, and if her sister hadn't been drinking, the smell of alcohol was radiating off of her, she probably would've noticed too, but in the mean time it was best not to let Faith speak. She wasn't in good shape to fight at the moment, "oh yeah, this is my sister Faith."

"I have a sister," Buffy blurted. She laughed feeling a little embarrassed, "I don't know why I said that."

Faith looked at the blonde girl, thinking that she was a little weird, she leant down next to her sister, "is this that Betty chick?"

"Her name's Buffy," Kennedy corrected.

Buffy frowned, "you thought my name was Betty? What the-"

"I think the real question is how does either one of them know your name," a man approached the table, "but I think I know the answer to that," he extended his hand for both of the new arrivals to shake, "hi, I'm Rupert Giles, Buffy's watcher, and you must be Kennedy and Faith…the vampire slayer. I was told, by a series of beat up watchers that you ran into, that you were coming."

"Thanks for telling us," Xander said as he stared at the British man, "it'd be nice if you told us these things."

"I don't know I kind of like surprises," Willow said as she tried to help the man out. At this moment she noticed that Kennedy was smiling at her, and she blushed. It took her a minute to realize what was happening, when she did she turned back to Giles, "but a warning would've been nice."

Kennedy knew what the red head was doing, and smiled harder, "then life would be so boring," she said seductively.

Faith looked between her sister and the red head, and rolled her eyes, "let's just get to the point here, I came to kick blondy's ass, once I'm done with that I'm out of here, so let's go."

"Are you kidding me," Buffy stood up from her chair, "you think you can kick my ass? Try it and I'll…I'll…kick your ass," 'what the hell was that Summers?' she said mentally, 'what's wrong with me?'

"That was original," Faith said smiling.

Giles cleared his throat, "no one will be kicking anyone's…ass. I've received a call from the council," everyone groaned, "yeah get over it…they called, along with you two's parents, and was told to set you up here," both of the sisters gave him a look that said that there was no way they were going to listen to him, "it's either that or I tell your parents where you are and you go home with them," they kept the same look, "or I call the cops, and you end up in jail after being on the run for months."

"I guess we're moving here Kenn," Faith said thinking of what life in jail would be like, basically its lack of men, "so where are we gonna stay?"

"You'll stay at Buffy's," the man said simply.

"What? They can't stay with me," Buffy said, her voice now high pitched, "why can't they stay with you?"

He took off his glasses and began to clean them with his shirt, "I don't think it looks good for a man…of my age to let some random sixteen and seventeen year old stay in my house. I have friends you know? They would suspect something."

Buffy walked away from the table, "there is no way they're staying at my house."

Buffy watched the two sisters fight over a bag of chips while they sat on the couch, the oldest of the two putting the other in a head lock until she gave in, "I cannot believe they're staying here," she said as she walked into the kitchen. Willow had promised to spend the night to make things a little easier, after the blonde slayer had begged her to, "thanks again for staying," she said nicely.

"Well, it's not like I had a choice…I can only take so much of your sad face before I give in," she leaned on the island in the middle of the room, "I can't believe they're staying with you."

"It's only temporary, keep that in mind," she looked back into the living room, now Kennedy was pinning her sister on the floor, "what is up with them, they've been fighting over the same bag of chips for an hour now?"

Willow looked in the living room too, and as soon as she did Kennedy looked up directly at her making her go back into the kitchen. She had tried to avoid moments like that with the new girl after the whole blushing incident at The Bronze but every time she was around the girl, they'd end up staring at each other.

Buffy looked at her best friend, "what's up?" the girl had been doing that all night since their visitors had arrived, "something bothering you?"

"It's nothing, I'm just tired," she said as she tried to ignore whatever Kennedy was saying in the next room, "who's sleeping where?"

"Well I've been thinking about that," she looked back into the living room, now Faith was sitting on her sister, "at first I thought they'd both sleep down here, but then I thought about it and it's better to keep an eye on them, so I was thinking you and Faith could sleep down here," the red head's eyes widened, "but then I thought about that…leaving you with a possibly psychotic slayer equals bad idea," her friend nodded in agreement, "so it's gonna be me and Faith in my room, and you're gonna sleep in Dawn's room. Since Dawn's is right next to my room, meaning that it's night a far run if something were to go wrong…Kennedy can sleep in there with you guys."

Willow gulped, "great."

Willow felt hands on her shoulder, shaking her gently, "is it morning already?" she mumbled groggily, "I don't want to go to school Mom, I'm feeling a little fluie."

"One, I am not your mother and two, you are such a liar," Dawn shook the red head harder, "Willow wake up, Kennedy's-"

Buffy barged into the room, "she's gone."

"Who's gone?" Willow asked, now fully awake. She looked down at the floor, "where's Kennedy?" the last thing she remembered was the girl sleeping soundlessly next to the bed, then she made herself turn over because she realized that she had been staring.

"Her and Faith snuck out," the blonde slayer said angrily. It was only their first night and they were already sneaking out, and she actually didn't even notice it happening. The only reason she knew that Faith had left was because she had gotten up to go patrol after waking up and not being able to go to sleep, but it seemed that the other slayer had already beaten her to it, "we gotta go Will."

Dawn stood up, "oh, can I go?" she asked excitedly.

"No," Buffy said simply, "let's go Will, I really don't want to hear Giles's mouth if they skip town."

The red head got up from Dawn's bed, "you really think they're gonna leave…even after what Giles said about calling the cops?" she asked. The blonde girl went on a rant about how Faith had been acting all night, while she found some clothes to put on. Blue pajamas with yellow ducks on them didn't seem like the thing to wear, "where are we going?"

"Well, if she's anything like me, she'll want to go and slay something first….so the cemetery," they both grabbed their jackets and headed down stairs, "that's wear they better be or I'm in a crap load of trouble."

At the moment they had heard that Giles was going to the police, they both knew that they were going to head out of town as soon as they saw the opportunity. It hadn't been that hard really, they waited for their 'roommates' to fall asleep, and then snuck out the window as quietly as possible. To their surprise they didn't even get caught sneaking out the window, they had thought that the girls would wake up and they'd have to make a run for it, but no…they just snuck out with no problem.

"I think we should just leave," Kennedy said as she followed her sister into a graveyard, "can't you kill something later…you do realize that you don't have time to have sex after this right?"

"Yeah, so what," the girl shot her a look, "I can survive one night without getting laid."

"Hmm, I was beginning to wonder," they had been wandering around for about an hour, no vampires or demons in sight, "I'm just gonna sit for a minute…what I'm tired okay," she said after her sister laughed at her. She found a large head stone and sat on top of it, crossing her legs, "hope you don't mind me sitting here Roger."

"Who the hell are you talking to," she looked at the headstone and then up at her sister, "I think you're going crazy. First you make friends with those geeks that the slayer hangs out with and now you're talking to a dead guy."

"Well it's not like I have anyone else to talk to," she said harshly.

Faith sighed, "are really gonna talk about this again…I talk to you all the time Kenn."

"I don't think telling me about your sex life counts as talking."

It was true, she did talk about her sex life a lot, but it wasn't like there was much else to talk about. They were always moving around, looking for trouble to get into, and then moving along, "well what do you want to talk about?" she asked.

"Nothing, I don't want to talk."

"Then why the fuck are we talking about this," she rolled her eyes, "you make me crazy, you know that?" after a moment of silence she walked over to her sister, "there's nothing going on here, lets go to a club or something," she walked off without waiting for her sister to protest.

"Great cause going to a club with you is so much fun."

Willow and Buffy walked into the cemetery, both of them keeping their eyes out for the trouble makers that had them wandering around at three in the morning. It was freezing cold outside and both of them had to go to school in the morning, and they knew it was definitely going to be a long day if they didn't get any sleep. Normally, Buffy would be out anyways, but she preferred to not have to track someone she didn't even get along with down.

"I can't stand her," she mumbled to herself.

"Who?" the red head asked.

"Faith," she picked up the pace as she thought about the annoying girl, "do you know what she did all night? She laid on my floor talking trash the whole time, saying all this stuff about me being someone with a stick up my ass."

Willow frowned, "she said ass? Kennedy curses a lot too, like every other word I had to cover me my ears."

"I know it's like they were raised by some motorcycle gang or something. All they do is fight and curse, " she thought about how the two sisters had been fighting over one bag of chips for like two hours, "they're going to drive me nuts," they continued to walk around for about another hour, by then the slayer was beyond angry, "I can't believe this…they can't already be out of town…can they?"

Kennedy watched her sister dancing with a bunch of guys and sighed. She hated this about Faith, hated the fact that she had to watch her ignore the pain she was in by sleeping with random guys, and slaying non-stop. They hardly ever talked about their watcher, or how they watched her get killed, that topic was always off limits according to the slayer, but Kennedy wanted to talk about it. If not just to get it out, then to make sure that she didn't end up like her sister who she noticed was starting to go a little crazy.

"Hey, I met you earlier right? I'm Oz," he sat down next to the brunette girl, "it's weird finding you here at four in the morning…you guys skipping town?"

She looked at him and then turned away, "what do you think?"

He smiled, "I think you're sick of running."

"I think you're full of shit," she snapped back, "Red tell you that we were gone?" there was no way the guy just happened to be there, it was only a matter of time before the slayer realized that they were gone, but she had hoped to be a little further away when it happened, "that's my cue to get out of here."

He put his hand on her arm, "or you could just sit back and wait for Buffy and Willow to get here…I called them and told them where you were a while ago, they'll be here in a minute."

She pulled her arm away, "what's up with you?" she asked.

"I'm trying to help…these guys are good people, they can help you deal with whatever it is you two are going through…" he looked over to the door seeing Willow and Buffy walk in, then he turned back to Kennedy, "if you let them."

Kennedy turned to look at her sister, who was completely unaware of the trouble they were about to be in, then she looked back at Oz, "Faith wants to leave, so we're leaving."

"What do you want?" he asked.

Faith looked over at her sister and noticed the familiar guy she was talking to, 'shit that's Red's boy,' she pushed her way through the crowd, "Kenn, let's go," just as she reached to grab the girl, another hand caught hers; it was Buffy, "let go of me B."

"B?" she frowned, "first you call me Betty, now you're calling me B," she twisted the girls arm behind her back, grabbed her shoulder and pushed her against a wall, "really not in the mood for your little act right now, so why don't you make this easy and just come back to my house so we can call Giles, he can deal with you."

Faith swung her head back hitting the other slayer in the nose, "what B, you havin trouble handling all of this," the slayer pointed to herself, "damn, I didn't know I was that hard to handle," she smirked, "that's too bad I thought you would be a challenge, a good one at that, but nope…your just one more thing standing in my way."

Buffy held her hand over her bleeding nose, "standing in your way to what?"

"Being the best at what I do…but I guess I already am."

"That's funny," she hit the girl in the face sending her flying back, "I thought you were just some slut looking for some action…maybe that's what you do."

Kennedy went over to the slayer and put her arm around her throat, squeezing it tightly, "you mess with her, you deal with me," the blonde girl elbowed her in the stomach, and she held on tighter, "I'm stronger then I look."

Willow watched the scene in a panic, "god this is a disaster," she mumbled some things under her breath, trying to find some way to help her friend.

Kennedy felt a sharp pain in her side and lost her grip on the slayer, "what the-" the next thing she knew, a fist was flying at her face, then she was on the ground, "holy shit that hurt."

"Yeah well, I'm a slayer," Buffy said with a smile, then she was tackled to the ground, "oh come on," she turned over to see that it was Faith that had attacked her, "tougher then I thought."

"Dumber then I thought," Faith replied, "what idiot turns their back on their opponent."

Buffy flipped the girl over so she was on top, "ooo, watcher talk…you must have been a good little girl for your watcher," once again she found herself being attacked out of nowhere, this time she was thrown off of Faith, "this isn't a fair fight."

Faith went to finish the job, seeing the perfect opportunity to take the girl out, but her sister stopped her, "what are you doing K, this is the perfect time to take care of this…then you and me can get out of here."

"No Faith," she said gripping her sisters arm tighter, "I'm sick of running."

"What are you talking about?" she asked confused by what she was hearing.

"I don't want to run anymore…look at you, you're about to kill a human, a slayer, but still a human. What do you think she would say about this," the look in her sisters eyes let her know that she knew exactly who she was talking about without even saying their former watchers name, "this isn't you Faith…I don't want to run anymore."

"Kennedy…" she looked into her sisters eyes and for the first time, she noticed the pain that was in them. They had been on their own for a while now but it was the first time she had ever noticed that the girl might not of been as happy as she seemed. That alone made her realize something, she hadn't thought about how moving around so much would affect the one person that had always been there for her. Sadly, she looked at her sister, "okay."

"Okay?" she wasn't sure that she had heard right, "okay what?"

"We don't have to run anymore…we can stay here if you want," her sister hugged her suddenly, at first she was thrown by it, but then she returned the hug, squeezing the girl tightly, "god you're such a softy."

Willow leaned over towards Oz, "aww, that's cute," she frowned, "their sisterness…not the hugging that's not cute…not that it's something more then cute…it's nice."

He laughed, "I knew what you meant Will," he said as he wrapped his arm around her, "it is nice…we've got them to stay, and without giving them Mochas…mission accomplished."

"Yeah, mission accomplished," she looked at the two sisters, 'is that why I really wanted them to stay?'

Faith pulled from the hug and went over to Buffy, "sorry about that B," she extended her hand to help her up and after hesitating, Buffy took it, "I have good news though…looks like me and my sis will be moving here after all. That means you'll get to see me all the time…isn't that exciting" she asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, that's great."

"You still gonna call your watcher?" Kennedy asked nervously, she had witnessed the wrath of an angry watcher before, and definitely wasn't up for seeing it again.

"One thing you should know about Buffy," Xander said as he walked up, noticing that he had missed all the action, "she doesn't really do anything Giles tells her to."

"She came looking for us cause he told her to watch us," Faith said looking at the goofy boy.

Xander smiled, "you must be special."

"Yeah in a mental sort of way," Buffy said as she walked past the group, "you guys coming, we have about one hour left before we have to go school."

Both Faith and Kennedy frowned, "school?"
