Summary: A response to a challenge by Mia Vaan. The Watcher's Council never tracks Buffy down when she's called to her destiny, but everything changes the night she encounters a certain bleached blond punk rocker. Set pre-series at Hemery High and will eventually work itself into a season 1 setting in Sunnydale.

I just fell in love with this challenge after reading it, so I really hope I can do it justice. :) Updates will be weekly. My chapters will also be a bit shorter than how I normally have them for my stories, but I decided that the length I've used here seems to work best in terms of the storyline. This will be one of those "slow build-up" kind of fics where Spuffy is concerned.

I've used the same names for Buffy's friends here that were in the film version from 1992, though I did try my best not to make them as superficial. While the movie falls incredibly short of measuring up to the awesomeness that is the show, I do still have a bit of a soft spot for it from watching it repeatedly with my sister when I was ten and she was eight. We actually used to quote it quite a bit.
Oh, and Spike will be appearing soon. :) Thank you to those who've reviewed or "liked".

The first sentence in italics was pulled from the last chapter to avoid confusion, as this one picks up right where chapter 92 left off. :)

I decided to split this chapter up into two chapters because I didn't want to cram too much into one. I felt like it would make the story seem rushed. So for those who have already asked, this fic will have 100 chapters total (chapter 99 and an epilogue will follow in the next few days).
