#001 --- Starting Over

Kaylee's eyes were wide as her mentor packed up her belongings. “But, where will you go? What will you do?”

She turned then, a smile on her face that made Kaylee flinch. It was a sad smile... one that barely turned up the corners of her mouth and came nowhere near her eyes. They were still as empty as ever.

She hoisted the single bag on to her shoulder and walked past Kaylee without hesitation.

“Don't worry about me Kay. I'm good at starting over.” And as quietly as she had entered it, Buffy Summers walked out of Kaylee's life.

#003 – Cookies

Cookie dough. That's what she had told Angel. She was cookie dough; she just needed a little more time to finish baking. Time to be on her own, to get settled after the battle with the First, but then she'd be finished baking and there would be cookies and happiness and everything she'd always promised herself she'd have. A normal life.

Buffy stared out the window at the vastness of outer space. A green tinted planet was back lit against a star as the ship slowed. Briefly, she wondered if she had left the oven on a tad too long.

#005 – Superstitious

“I didn't know you were religious.”

Buffy looked sideways at her newest slayer, a small frown on her face. “I'm not.”

Kaylee nodded at the necklace Buffy was holding in her hand. “What's that for then? You always wear it when we go patrolling.”

Buffy's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the plain silver cross she held in her hand. Her fingers stroked the worn metal, imperfections worn soft and smooth by countless years. She stood silent a moment, before smiling a small smile and clasping the necklace around her neck.

“I'm not religious. Just superstitious.”

#007 –Star Wars

Buffy spun the shuttle to the right, wincing as she heard the metal hull groan under the strain as she tried to out run and out maneuver her opponent. A proximity alarm started blaring and she swore. Make that opponents.

Buffy quickly pulled up, avoiding another blast and dropping herself between her pursuers. Maxing out the engines, proximity alarms blaring, the shuttle missed the enemy by the blessing of slayer reflexes.

Alarms shut off as she set the shuttle to return to Serenity. Behind her, her opponents collided in an explosion of lights. She smiled sadly. Andrew would've loved this.

#009 – Call of the Wild

Buffy stepped out of the shuttle, Kaylee at her side. She couldn't contain a squeak of surprise as a huge wolf walked slowly out of the woods.

Kaylee looked at Buffy in alarm, but the blonde simply smiled and stepped forward to meet the wolf.

Kaylee fell backwards in shock as the wolf shifted and in its place stood a young man. Small in stature, ageless eyes and hair a bright green; the man was the complete opposite of the wolf he had just replaced.

Buffy ignored her antics as she stepped forward to embrace the wolf-man. “Hey Oz.”

thanks. Oz simply insisted that if anything was going to be wild, it would be him :-)
