Title: Welcome! (Part 1 of Series)
Before she got the internet, Buffy couldn't understand what the big deal
about it was. Afterall, everybody on there was a nameless face, so how could
a person grow attached to someone they never even met? Once she got America
Online, however, she realized that was the beauty of the internet. When she
was on her computer, she was just another normal person. Nobody knew the
real her. As far as all these people were concerned, there were not things
that went bump in the night, and there was no Slayer to protect the innocent
people of the world. So, for at least a few hours a night, Buffy was just a
normal girl living in a normal world. It was a beautiful thing, really.
By the time the Slayer finished reading a few forwarded messages from Willow,
and she checked out a few links from her beauty newsletter, she was left with
only five emails. She read the title of the first one and quickly deleted
it. "Gotta love emails that begin with Enlarge your Penis Now," she mumbled
to herself and moved onto the next one.
"Vote for the most beautiful person at People.com. Um, no, I think I'll
pass. It's probably just a waste of time anyway, and no matter how many
millions of times I vote, it won't even matter.
"Alright, three to go. Don't need tips on improving my sex life, since I
don't have one." Delete. "This one's not even in English!" Angry delete.
"And who the hell is DeadSexy127? God, where do people come up with these
names?!?" With an irritated look on her face, Buffy opened the email, ready
for more spam Instead, this is what she found:
Buffy looked up at her clock after she read the email. It was only 1 am, and
she knew that she would be awake for a long time that night, so she decided
to check out Will's profile. She clicked on the people directory and typed
in his screen name, ready to find some sort of weird, sick guy.
"Okay, well he seems pretty normal, I guess. And that's what I need right
now. Someone who's not a freak like me." With that thought in mind, Buffy
clicked on the IM emblem and typed in DeadSexy127.
A small pout crossed her features as she dragged her mouse up to the Write
mail icon and clicked on it. Looking up at her clock again and frowning,
Buffy started to type.

Welcome!
by TrishWelcome! You've got mail!
A small smile crept across Buffy's face as she acknowledged that someone
cared enough to email her. She clicked on the little mailbox and scrolled
down to see that a lot of someones cared enough to email her that night.
With a yawn, she sat back and stripped down to her tanktop and a pair of lacy
thongs, preparing herself for another long night at her computer.
