Chapter 1: Chapter one

Author's Notes: This is something compeltely different from anything I've ever written before. For one it's G rated *blink* and second it's sweet and cute apparently :) Lemme know what ya think, even if you don't like it. I'm not sure if it's finished yet, just wrote till I felt it was done for now.

For two years we'd been chatting and mailing eachother, becoming good friends and eventually something else, something more but not quite dating. The distance played a big part in that decision, we lived and ocean apart and I don't do long distance, or at least I've never tried. But with her it was different, we connected on so many levels and since I planned on moving overseas anyway I allowed myself to develop feelings other than close friendship. But I'm getting ahead of myself, I should probably tell how this started and who I am.

My name is Elizabeth Summers, my friends call me Buffy, and I live in England. I've been living here for most of my life but thanks to my mom being from California I don't sound completely stuck up like some of the girls I used to go to school with. I just graduated as a high school teacher, majoring in world history and art. About four years ago I discovered the wonderful world of twitter and YM, which is what got this whole thing started in the first place. We met online, like a lot of people do these days and got to talking, first about our favorite actors and shows, later about more personal things, like friends and family, our history, good or bad.

Flashback

End flashback

That's how it all started, we bonded over one common thing at first, fanfiction about this show that aired ages ago. After a couple days we went from twitter to YM and we became as much friends as strangers can be. But with Rogue, or Faith as her real name is things were different, I told her stuff not even my best friend knows about me and she never once judged me for it.

I tried going to Canada the first year we met, but I couldn't get the money together for a plane ticket so I postponed the trip for a year.

Flashback

Cheergirl: I know lol
Cheergirl: So, remember that date I promised ya?
Rogue: Yeah
Cheergirl: would ya mind opening the door?
Rogue: Huh??
Rogue: How? Wha? No way! Gotta go

I was nervous as hell, hoping that my plan would work. I'd just gotten off the plane that morning and now I was standing at her front door, hoping she would open it. I was sure she knew who it was, I kinda blew my cover asking her to open the door right before I knocked. Not knowing how she'd react to me being there was killing me, we'd talked about this date a couple times, but never had it become more than “one day, future…”. Now here I was, waiting anxiously for Faith to get downstairs and hopefully not slap me silly.

After the longest minute of my life the front door finally opened revealing an equally nervous looking Faith.
I couldn't take my eyes of her, she was dressed in a pair of khakis and a tank top clinging to her every cure. Her dark brown curls fell to just below her shoulders and framed the face I'd seen in my dreams hundreds of times. My mind went blank for a bit, she looked even more beautiful in real life.
“Buffy?”
“Hi.” I finally managed to say “Great Summers, way to sound like a spazz.” I thought to myself, doing my best to recover from my embarrassment I followed up with “I was just in the neighborhood, thought I'd take ya out on that date I promised.”
We lost some of our nerves and she gave me her trademark smirk and raised eyebrow.
“Isn't this kinda out of your way to just be in the neighborhood?”
“Err, only about 15 hours on a plane.” I said smiling.
“Come here and give me a hug you idiot.”
And I did just that.
“I've wanted to do that for real for ages.” I sighed.
“I know how ya feel.”

End flashback

We had the best two weeks of my life till then, going to the beach, the amusement park, just having fun and enjoying our time together. When the day came I had to go back home we tried stalling with every excuse in the book, but eventually I had to get on that plane.

A loud ringing interrupts my thoughts and I get up to answer the phone.
“Hello, Buffy Summers speaking.”
“Oh. Hi, mom.”
“Things are great, did you get my e-mail?”
“Yeah? That's fantastic.”
“I know mom.”
“Yeah, see you next week.”
“Love you too. Bye.”

I feel a pair of strong arms surround my waist and the smile on my face grows even bigger.
“Hey sweetie.”
“Was that your mom on the phone?”
“Yeah, she said she got everything settled on her side so we're free to pick a date.”
“How does spring sound? Shouldn't be a problem to get free from work for either of us.”
“Middle of may?”
“Yeah, sound good to you?”
“Perfect.”
“So, now that we finally got that settled how bout we take a sick day?”
“Faith, it's Saturday.”
“So?”
“You just wanna spend the day in bed don't you?”
A smirk is all the answer I get before being hauled up the stairs by my fiancé. I love the sound of that word.
