Giles Personal Journal:

While working for the watchers council in England, I kept a journal of all the strange occurances that happened. Unfortunatly when the Sunnydale Highschool's library was blown up most of my research and journals were destroyed. So I have taken the remains I found in the ruins of the school and made a new journal of the most unusual occurrences, in and around Sunnydale. Enjoy.

Sophomore Year at Sunnydale Highschool

Procession of the Hyena Kind
Sunnydale Highschool's annual trip to the Sunnydale Zoo, turned disastrous when Xander and three other students became processed by the spirits of hyenas. When Xander started acting weird I just let it slip by as hormones, but thankfully Buffy and Willow, realized it was something else. Buffy, Willow and I create a plan to rid the students of their hyena spirits. Xander has sworn me not to tell the gang, that he actually remembers all his activities as a hyena, including eating the schools mascot.
Revenge of psycho mom
Buffy decided to join the cheerleading squad, where she met a young girl named Amy Madison, who was trying out for the team as well. The young lady seemed obessed with her mothers past cheerleading glory, and she was desperate to follow in her mothers footsteps. However both Buffy and Amy failed miserably and only made second string, then werid things start happening to the girls on the squad. For example Cordy became blind, or unable to use her mouth, and another girl burst into flames so Buffy took her place on the squad and started acting strangly, we figured out it was Amy, and went to talk to her mother, only to find out that her mother is the real witch and switched bodies with Amy, so I performed a spell that trapped Amy's mother in the cheerleading statue and returned Amy to her own body.
Night Terrors
It was horrible when a child, who was in a comma after being almost beaten to death, wondered the halls of Sunnydale High creating the students worst nightmares. For example Xander was chased by a scary clown, I forgot how to read, Willow had to face stage fright, and Buffy turned into a vampire, this is a slayers worst fear, it turned out the little boy was being chased by his own nightmares and in order to stop the trouble he had started he had to face up to his fears, with Buffy's help of course!
No Time for Dates
Attempting to live a normal life Buffy tries to go out on a date with a boy named Owen, unfornatly the date was planned for the same night that the annoying one was planned to rise, and her date with Owen would have to be postponed, instead she tried to do both, in turn having her date break into the city morgue with her and almost got him killed, but the boy is oblious to what was really going on and thinks shes the coolest, however Buffy calls it off.

A Blast from the Past
Its dance time again at Sunnydale, and Buffy starts having some werid daydreams of kids from the 50's. What Buffy didn't know was her daydreams were of real ghost who used her and Angel to reenact their tragic ending to their life, ironicaly enough the spirit of James,the boyfriend, is in Buffy and Grace, the girlfriend, is in Angel. However history didn't repeat itself completely that night because Grace forgave James for shooting her.
Boyfriends
Joyce Summers, Buffy's mother, new boyfriend Ted was the perfect man and everyone loved him except for Buffy. So when Ted attacks Buffy for no apparent reason she siezes the oppernity to beat the crap out of him, except she accidently kills him. Meanwhile Willow and the gang discover Ted had three other dead wives. Unfornatly Buffy didn't do a very good job at killing Ted because he came back and we found out he was a robot, but Buffy quickly shorted his circut.
Romeo
Cordy dumped Xander on Valentines Day, and he couldn't take it so he had his friend and a wicth Amy Madision cast a spell to make Cordy fall madly in love with him, only the spell backfired and every girl in school fell in love with him.The spell also made Jenny and Buffy's mom as well as Drusilla fall in love with him, Amy and myself had to preform a reversal spell on all of them.
Gypsies
It was discovered that Jenny Calandar or should I say Jana,of the Kalderash people, is a gypsie sent to watch Buffy and Angel's relationship. Apparently Jana was sent to keep Angel form true happiness which is his curse, unfornatly she failed miserably and Angel and Buffy had that moment turning the once calm and cool Angel into his evil counterpart Angelus, and Buffy demands Jana restore Angel's curse, and Jana tries but is killed before she gets the chance.

Be careful what you wish for
Every Cordy caught Xander and Willow kissing, she decided her life was better off without Xander or any of his friends, and most of all without Buffy. So she winds up making a wish to a venage demon named Anyanka who granted Cordy's wish for a world without Buffy. She was transported to a world were humans were rare and vampires ruled, once they realized what was going on and how to end this tortous world they find Anyanka and destroy her necklace which is her powercenter. After the necklace is destroyed Anya, as she is called in human form, was damned to stay in this mortal plane and no longer had any power to do any kind of magic.
Hanzel and Gretal complex
Buffy's mom, Joyce Summers, gathers all the adult population of Sunnydale in a Salem witch hunt type fashion, after reading about two young children that had been mudered. Willow, Amy and Micheal three would be witches are targeted as a cult and the parents try to burn the three at the stake. To escape this Amy turned herself into a rat. After a chat with Angel about fairy tales Buffy put two and two togther and realized these childern were supernatural and controling her mom, then she hurried to city hall, and the scobby gang, Buffy and Giles save the day.
Don't eat the candy
Joyce Summers and myself discovered the true horror of Highschool fundrasiers, during Sunnydales band candy sale. After eating the candy bars all the adults in Sunnydale started reverting back to their teenage ways. Joyce and I ate the candy and I'm ashamed to say that upon eating the candy we looted stores and did unspeakable things on a police car twice.
And the rest is silence...
We had a real scare when Buffy was infected by a demon, that gives off one of its many traits to the infectee, Buffy became able to read minds. However the abilty was to much for the slayer and she was slowly going insane, unable to tell thought form anything else. However she does hear one insistant thought of killing everyone. She figured out it was Jonathon and she stoped him from killing himself. Luckily for us all the effects were just temporary.

Freshman Year at Sunnydale Universary

A Chessey Tale
Willow used a magic spell to bind Xander and myself as well as herself to Buffy, this was to help make Buffy strong enough to destroy Adam. After we defeated him we returned to Buffy's house for a sleepover. However are dreams were still somewhat connected to eachother that night. All any of us seem to really remember is that there was this werid guy who dressed funny, trying to give us cheese. As far as I can figure the mystery cheese man meant nothing at all, but I'm still investigating.
Cave Girl
Now that Buffy is a freshman in college, I thought I would have to stop treating her like a child and let her and her friends be. Well I was wrong as Buffy proved to me when she got drunk at this little pub,where Xander is the new barkeep, and the more she and her new friends drank the more they seemed to became stupider. Buffy and her drinking buddies became like cavepeople...
Power of Words
After Oz left in search for the cure to his werewolfness, Willow cast a spell to have her will be done, unbeknown to us. Unfortuantly casting the spell in her emotion state caused the spell to backfired and every thing she said happened and turned out wrong. For example, she made me blind, Buffy and Spike got engaged, and Xander and Anya were attacked by demons. Willow became even more depressed with the results of her spell and went for a walk, when she returned to the dorm, a demon was waiting for her. It tronsported her to world of Arashmaharr, he offers to make her avenage demon. However Willow declines his offer and reversed her spell on her friends, oh well no harm done, and Willow learned a valueable lesson.
The old Switchero
After Faith woke from her coma she was seeking revenge on Buffy. Well what better way to achieve this than to steal Buffy's idenity, using a old tool the mayor left her. She and Buffy switched bodies, however all of this was undetected by the scobbies and I. So we almost send Buffy to England with the council, good thing Tara figured out and we we're able to take care of the mishap.

2 Buffesters?
Buffy and I went on a journey to help Buffy discover the roots of the slayer, and when we returned we were shocked to find another Buffy. Apparently Spike had Warren build him a robot that looked just like Buffy that he was using for his own personal reasons, well anyway, Buffy and Willow diactived the robot because it was icky to think about it.
A Case of the goodies and the badies
Xander was going through the dump when he encountered a demon that quickly knocked him out and when he awoke in the dump he discovered that there was two of him. The demon Xander had brought a new apartment and was more liked by his friends and was a lot cooler than the real Xander. In the end we figured out that the Xander mix up was simple that they were both Xander just two different parts and they had to go back toghter and they did, crisis over.
Vamp turns over a new leaf
After the initiative put a chip in Spikes head he became a powerful informant for the scoobies, and its been discovered recently that he has a huge crush on Buffy, he has attempted to take her on a date, he made the buffy bot, and protected her family from Glory, which we all apertiated, until Buffy stumpled unpon his lairs basement full of photos, and personal items beloning to her, its like he became obessed.
Cross dressing gods
It was recently discovered that the male nurse who's been extremely helpful to both Buffy and Dawn with handling Joyce's sudden illness is no other then the mortal immbodiment of Glory. What shocks me most about this is it was Spike who figured it out, apparently there is some sort of clouding spell to prevent mortals from figuring it out. At least now we that in order to defeat Glory we need to harm the human known as Ben, but I also know that Buffy wouldn't harm anyone human, and lower herself to Faith's standards so I'll harm him for her.

Junior Year at Sunnydale University

The Sad Goodbye
Well as much as I wish it weren't true my slayer is gone, so there isn't a point of my staying in Sunnydale I have prolonged it for a while now. I however have been lying to myself, pretending to be needed, to train the buffy bot, staying for the magic shop, and thousand of other excuses I have made up in my head. But, now I fear the time has finally came, I must bid farewell to those I care about and let them stand on their own as adults, I will returning back to England tommorrow, I'm such a coward I left a note at the magic box for them, just so I won't have to face them. To my surprise right before boarding my plane, the gang came to bid me farewell, I worry about them, especially Dawn, but I know she will be taken care of. And I know I can trust them, especially Willow, so I leave for home in confidence that everything will be alright.
Its a Mircle
Just as I was returning to my flat, the phone was ringing so I hurried in and answered, it was Willow which was a nice surprise. But, I tell you I was in no ready for what she had informed on this call, for it was no mere call to see how I was doing, but rather to inform that my slayer has risen from her grave. I left England that very hour and rushed to Sunnydale, I had to see for myself. When I arrived at the magic box, she was there, in the flesh, I immeadily run and hugged, partly because I missed her and partly because I needed to feel her solidarty. It was her alright, alive and kicking, I later found out that the one I trusted most of all of them, used dark magic to reanimate Buffy to life. I tell you, I fear for her future, Willow is digging into so very dark magic and it might lead to her destruction, or the destruction of the ones she loves

The Truth Revealed
What happened today was something that in all my years of training and being a watcher that I have never seen. The whole town burst out in song, signing anything from their lunch to their deepest darkest secrects. We finally figured out that the deamon's name was Sweet and he was summoned a invocation befored by Xander
( and here I thought Xander's days of being an idiot were over ) well anyway, during the final showdown between this deamon and Buffy, the horrifying truth came out as to what happened to her after she died. Willow preformed the spell to pull Buffy out what she assumed to be a hell demission but Buffy was actually in Heaven. I know she'll want to come to me for guidence but I don't think theres anything I can do or say that will help, however I think it best if I wait a while before informing the group, especially Buffy of my plans to return to England and stay.

My Worst Fears Have Come to Pass
Well I'm on my way back to Sunnydale, but I fear this isn't a joyful visit. Some Shamans have informed of Willows dark desent, Tara has been killed and Willow is bent on destroying the world. I blame myself for seeing the signs and doing nothing about it but I didn't want to believe it so. Upon arriving I found Buffy isn't fairing well against her best friend, so I use my borrowed magic to subdub her for a time but it is short lived as she controls Anya's mind to break the spell. Unfortunatly I'm not fairing well against Willow either, there is only one person in the universe that can save us now I just pray he's not too late.

Rehabiliated?
Well I'm pleased to say that thanks to Xander's quick thinking and love, our Willow did not destroy the world, I brought her back to England with me for rehabiliation, but I fear I must send her back early for something is coming and she is needed far more urgently in Sunnydale. So today I am sending her back, and I hope I'm doing the right thing, because I don't know what else to do!

Gone
I have just recieved word that the Watchers Council is no more, it seems over the past few months an unnamed evil has been picking off slayers and watchers left and right. Today however they hit us hard, they blew up the council while it was in session, so I have gathered some remaining Slayers in Training, and brought them to Sunnydale with me, although I'm unsure if I brought them to help, or to protect. One thing remains for sure, this could possibly be the end as we know it.


Bad Decisions
I made a decision today, Buffy isn't thinking with her brain, after allowing Spikes chip to be removed. So i decided after talking to Robin Wood, that Spike has became a threat to be eliminated, however things did not go as planned. I took Buffy out patrolling as a distraction, while Roblin attempted to elimate the problem. However she saw through my diversionary tact and ran off to help the vampire. She threatened to allow Spike to kill Robin if he attempted anything like it again, and is now not speaking to me.

All Things Must Come to An End
Well today we won the battle so to speak, I'm very proud of my slayer. Buffy came up with a bloody brilliant idea to grant all potentials the chance to have their powers show long before another slayer has passed. So with their new slayer powers: Buffy, Faith and the potentials destroyed the first army of supervamps, while Robin, Dawn, Willow, Xander, Andrew, Anya and myself took care of any they missed. And, to my surprise Spike played a huge part in this battle as he used the champions amulet to destroy the hellmouth. But sadly we all did not survive this apoloplayse, Spike, Anya, Amanda and many other's died. All that remains of Sunnydale is a giant crater, oh well there's always another hellmouth in Cleveland.
