Dark Avenger's Notes: I started my rewrite. I've based it on the real first episode, but I added parts from how Buffy first became Slayer too. I've also introduced Buffy's sister Dawn right away as her sister. I also have done a bit more, so Willow will learn she is a witch because her aunt was one. I also have introduced Amy into the story here with more to do.

I haven't finished it yet. But I started it.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER - (TV-14, L, V).

Air Date: October 7, 1996
Time Slot: 8:00 PM-9:00 PM EST on The WB

Season 1 Episode 01: "Welcome to the Hellmouth (Part 1)"

SPECIAL TWO-HOUR SERIES PREMIERE — The series begins, with the title card saying Los Angeles, 1996 on Buffy's (Sarah Michelle Gellar) fiffthteenth birthday, Buffy has dreams of past Slayers fighting and battling vampires, including a slayer who died a month earlier. Buffy awakens freaked out by what she dreamed.

The next afternoon, Buffy is seen with her three friends leaving Hemery High School, as a mysterious man (David Boreanaz) watches out a window in a dark car and catches a glimpse of Buffy. Buffy and her friends are planning to attend the winter formal in a week. As she says goodbye to her friends, a man (Richard Riehle) approches her, telling her a tale about her destiny fighting vampires, he then introduces himself as a watcher named Merrick.

Later that night, Merrick then observes Buffy in a cemetery staking her first vampire rather clumsily. The mysterious man watches, concerned as Buffy plunges the stake into the vampire again, and this time hits her mark. An instant later the vampire bursts into dust. Buffy is caught by surprise, and she screams, surprised by what she just did. She just stares at the ashes on the grass in shock. Behind her Merrick steps up saying "You see your power?"  Buffy isn't at all sure she wants to see, and he tells her, this is her destiny, and she can't fight it.

The mysterious man watches as Buffy goes home, where her father yells at her for being gone without telling them where she was going. Her mother (Kristine Sutherland) seems a bit more understanding. And her younger sister Dawn (Michelle Trachtenberg) just runs to her room scared. After watching the whole ordeal, the mysterious man returns to an apartment, and calls saying he has decided that he wants "to be somebody" and help Buffy.

Now in present day, with the title card saying, Sunnydale, Fall 1996, we see a man break into a window and sneaking into Sunnydale High at night, leading a girl (Julie Benz) by the hand. He takes her to the auditorium. They start to make out, until she becomes frightened, but he assures her that they're alone and are fine. He approaches her, but then she morphs into her vampire face and bites his neck.

Buffy was wondering through a place she didn't know, in same chamber in a dark underground area. Images jumped out at her, then faded again almost instantly, leaving only the vaguest of memories. Buffy saw candles flickering over a deep red pool of blood. Suddenly a demonic laughter echoed in the area. Faceless figures stalked her and then suddenly she saw a very old book with the words Vampyr engraved upon the cover. Without warning a shadow rose up behind her and evil. Whispering in her head telling her "I'll take you like a cancer, I'll get inside you and eat my way out".

Buffy eyes flew open, out of the dream, and it was morning. Her mother calls out for her to not be late on her first day at her new school, as she already has to drive her sister Dawn to school too.

Buffy is being shown around her new school by Principal Flutie. As he does so, he calls her by different names, none of which are her own. Buffy assures Flutie that there won't be any problems like at her old school and she is "Here to have fun. But I mean learning, fun with learning." Flutie tells Buffy not to worry, he thinks she will fit in just fine.

Buffy walks down the halls and bumps into a male student (Nicholas Brendon), spilling the contents of her handbag on the floor. He introduces himself as Xander Harris who helps Buffy repack. She leaves without her stake, which Xander pockets because he called out to her, but she had already walked away.

Later Xander walks into the high school newspaper room, known as The Sunnydale High Sentinel, where he meets up with Willow Rosenberg (Alyson Hannigan) and his cousin as Jesse McNally (Eric Balfour). We learn the editor of the school paper is Amy Madison (Elizabeth Anne Allen). Willow tells her friends, her strange aunt last night kept telling her weird stories about witches, and Willow doesn't believe her, and they all laugh saying that witches are not real.

In history class, Buffy is helped by popular girl Cordelia Chase (Charisma Carpenter), who afterwards does a test to see how cool she is, as Buffy had just moved to Sunnydale, California from Los Angeles. Later Cordelia humiliates an awkward Willow at the water fountain and also teases Amy who joins her telling her she has some exciting news to report for the paper.

Inside the library, Buffy enters needing a book, and meets Rupert Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) who places a book titled Vampyr in front of Buffy after recognising who she is. Buffy quickly leaves.

Buffy meets Willow, and sits with her to talk. At the same time, a dead body is found in the locker rooms by Cordelia's friend Harmony (Mercedes McNab). Amy investigates it, and sneaks inside and starts taking photos of it. Jesse and Xander soon join Buffy and Willow for lunch, and Xander returns the stake. Buffy claims it's standard self-defence in Los Angeles to cover. Cordelia appears and tells Buffy she won't get to meet Coach Foster because gym class was cancelled "due to the extreme dead guy" in Harmony's locker. Buffy asks whether there were marks on the body, freaking out Cordelia. Amy comes running with some big news, telling them to meet her in the newspaper room.

Buffy forces her way into the locker room, examines the body, and finds wounds of a vampire on the neck.

Later, Amy presents the photo she took in the locker room to Willow, Jesse and Xander in the school newspaper room. Amy informs them of strange things happening in town, and says she has been collecting lots of freaky stories. Xander doesn't believe such a thing is possible but Amy shows him her "Freaky Sunnydale wall" - a collection of articles about the strange goings-on in Sunnydale that nobody seems to notice. Amy also asks Willow if she believes her, especially what her aunt told her about witches may not be just an urban myth. And she even shows her part of her wall a case that might be about witches. Willow says maybe she is right.

Buffy returns to the library and confronts Giles, who informs her that he is her Watcher following the death of her old Watcher Merrick months ago. Buffy refuses to accept her calling as a Slayer since it had gotten her expelled from her previous school and cost her social life, and she has lost touch with the only person she told about being a slayer Pike.

Good start. 

I'd also be down for a re-watch guys too, it has been quite a while since I've seen it.


I enjoyed that you mixed in showing Buffy first becoming the slayer, then switching to her move to Sunnydale. I see you mentioned Pike, so I hope you bring him back later.

I see Dawn is here from the start.

Also you've gotten Jesse and Amy included. Amy reminds me of a mix between Veronica Mars/Chloe from Smallville. Already got hints that Willow is a witch, or her aunt is? 

I hope you keep working on this.

Thank you. I had fun, still working on more, and hope to share it.

Yes, that was my inspiration.

Looks like most of us are keen, we'll need something to watch when all the new episodes of shows start to dry up.

This is pretty cool. Are you still working on it, or has real life and writers block got in the way.

Some cool changes to make it fit your rewrite.

[Tim]

Fun when fans rewrite shows to fix things they felt were mistakes.

[Katie]

It is, just like we have at the Cafe with Charmed.

I love reading stories like that.

[Tim]

At least this one I can read.

[Deleted]

It's fun and looking forward to more.

[Tim]

This is another way that fans show that they care. 

My Rex and Hannah Chronicles and Timelost stories would not exist if I weren't a fan of Classic Charmed and Doctor Who respectively.

[Trinity]

It sure is, isn't it

I love how much passion the fans have. Buffy, Xena, X-Files, and Charmed still are alive and kicking today with fans doing fanfics.

[Tim]

Of course, my series have lead characters that are outside the main ones.

[Trinity]

So yours is more of a spin-off like series or alternate universe series.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. 

Yes, that and been distracted by shows coming back with the last they filmed before COVID-19, but the television season will be over soon, so I can get back to this.

[Tim]

Good to see you back.  I was getting a little worried.

[Trinity]

Me too, I guess even in lockdown, we get busy doing other things. I know binge-watching shows is such a trend in these times and or gardening and cleaning your house.

[Tim]

Yeah, Real Life still exists, despite the New World Order.
