Our girl is from the Valley, fer sher, and livin` large with her best gal pals but her safe, comfortable lifestyle is soon interrupted by an ancient calling. A mysterious older man who has been stalking her finally makes his approach, but it isn`t a come-on.

He represents a group of elders who supervise the discovery and training of Slayers. In each generation there is but One who is destined to inherit the powers necessary to keep vampires at bay and save the Human Race from death and enslavement by the undead. Omigod! Buffy is the One in this generation!

Donald and Luke convince her to accept her destiny and give up the val gals as pals in the interests of humanity. Doubts arise when the vamps kill the trainer, but the youngsters perservere.

The stuff hits the fan when the undead attack during the school dance, but Buffy beats them back with the support of Master Luke. The war between Buffy and the vampires is not over, but she has her first victory under her belt, and vows to take the battle to wherever it`s necessary. She also wins back her former high social status after saving so many lives.

Trivia: David is now well on his way toward becoming a big FFTTM star, what with both Scream movies and Never Been Kissed on his SAG card. Also, YMP thought he caught a glimpse of Boy Meets World`s Ryder Strong during the vampire attack, but the tape was defective, and can`t be certain. Also, Rutger has been in many bad movies over the years, but is best known for a back-up role in the great Blade Runner. Hillary was a regular for a season and a half on Beverly Hills 90210, and is the sister-in-law of Major FFTTM star Rob Lowe (Chad is her husband). Also, she just won an Oscar for Boys Don`t Cry (2000). The darker TV show which followed stars Sara Michelle Gellar, and features past and current FFTTM star Seth Green.
