The Promise: 8 Years Later

By Melissa Flores
(melissaf@scf.usc.edu)
Buffy disappeared, their leader died, and the remnants of the Scooby Gang formed a pact that meant forever. Now, eight years later, they are reminded of their promise as they come back together to find an old friend, a new enemy and realize that no matter what happens, true friends are always there.

Disclaimer: Buffy and Co' are all owned by Joss Whedon and the WB, I own no one. No one I tell you!
Author's Notes: This story takes an alternate timeline arc that takes place right after Becoming II, when Buffy leaves, and things go decidedly darker for the Gang. It starts out depressing, but ends happy. I promise! Contains C/X, W/O, B/A, and implied C/O and X/W. (Don't worry, you'll get it.)
More Notes: There are also four prequel vignettes out, each told from the fab four's prospective that cover the time period that leads up to the Scooby Gang's Seperation. (SHAMELESS PLUG!!! SHAMELESS PLUG!!!)
