The kids were told to come directly to the Magic Box immediately after school. Will walked somewhat ahead of Alexis, to gain the illusion that he was independent of her.
"Are we in some kind of trouble?" Alexis cringed when her brother whirled around at her.
"If we are its all your fault! I'm tired of hearing about shit because of you!" She started crying at her his hateful words. Deep down he didn't care, but he knew that if he didn't get her together before they walked into the shop, that Mom and Dad would rip him a new one. His hatred for his sister built more and more every day, and now he was starting High School, and she was still attached to him, getting into everything he does. After a few minutes he managed to settle her down enough so that they could make their grand appearance.
When they walked in, all the Scoobies looked up at them, all with straight serious faces. Will's stomach lurched, he didn't like what he was heading into.
"Alexis could you lock the door and the both of you sit down." She did as she was told and followed her brother.
Giles looked at Buffy, regretting what he was about to tell his own children. She squeezed at his arm encouraging him onward. He let out a deep sigh, "Right." He mustered up the strength again, for the topic coming. "The reason why your mother doesn't stay home at nights…"
Will broke, "Is because she's out chasing Vampires and demons."
Giles looked up surprised.
"Don't look so shocked Dad. After 14 years you can pick up on things. Let alone the nightmares," Buffy looked at Giles at the mention of nightmares, fearing that her own has spilled out into them. "Also there is the link that still sort of exists."
Everyone's eyes widened by that admission.
With that out on both sides, the tension eased a little. "It would be a good idea to teach you how to kill and protect yourselves from the things that go bump in the night. So you will go through the same training as I taught your mother."
"Why did you train mom?"
Rupert took off his glasses as he tried to proceed with answering his daughter's question. He sat down next to her, "Your Mother," He looked at Buffy and then back at Alexis, "Is what is called a Vampire Slayer. Into every Generation a Slayer is born. We have been quite fortunate thus far; your Mom has died twice and is still here, but putting that aside. I was in England taking up training to become a Watcher, that person trains and, well, watches the Slayer and aids her."
"Don't knock it, cause check it out. I'm still here. Besides you will start wanting to go out with your friends and I wouldn't feel good about letting you go without knowing if you're safe or not. So starting today you two will go through the same training I have."
