AU where: Angel and Buffy are still a power couple in season 3, Willow and Oz are just friends, Faith and Buffy are way closer
Buffy Summers and her band of Scoobies have enough on their plate already, between school, dating and, well, the forces of evil.
But clearly someone disagrees, when the charming yet clueless Sean Campbell and his angry, mysterious daughter Val arrive in Sunnydale, just as word of a 'larger evil' gets out on the street.
As Buffy and Cordelia work together to puzzle out the locked fortress that is Val, time ticks away and the evil grows larger.
But are they wasting their time on two innocent newcomers?
Or is the dark witch behind all this right in front of their eyes?
