Chapter 7 � Goodbye Sunnydale

A/N: Sorry for the delay � enjoy!

Later that day Joyce and Buffy arrived at the Sheraton. Buffy was extremely nervous. She had told e ine in the car that she was
not going to England, but Joyce asked her to have an open mind. Joyce knew Lady Lilah had nothing but good
intentions; she just had to convince Buffy of this. They also talked about what Buffy was doing the night before and
why she came home that morning in such a state. Buffy admitted to her mother that she had been drinking, and that
she had stayed in the same room with Riley, but assured her nothing
happened. Joyce was so proud that Buffy
could be honest with her.

Ethan greeted Joyce and Buffy at the door to the suite. The hotel staff was busy inside setting up
the tea and pastries. Lady Lilah was
seated on a couch, talking on the phone with her lawyers. As soon as she saw Buffy and Joyce, she
ended the conversation.

�Lizzy, Joyce � I�m so glad you made it. Lizzy, are you feeling better?�

Buffy grimaced at the greeting. �It�s Buffy, and yes, I am feeling much better, thank you.�

�I�m so sorry dear, I keep forgetting. Buffy, Joyce, please sit down. Would you care for some tea and biscuits?�

The servants rushed to serve the refreshments and Buffy and
Joyce accepted. Once they were all
seated and sipping their tea, Lilah began.

�Buffy, I understand this is all a shock to you. I regret that we did not make further
efforts before my son�s passing to get in touch with you. You seem to be such a lovely girl, and
looking at you I have nothing but regret for missing out on you growing up.�

�Lady Lilah, the fault is as much mine as yours.� Joyce
interrupted.

�Well let�s not dwell on who�s fault it was. I just want to concentrate on the
future. Buffy, I�m sure your mother has
informed you that I wish for you to return to England with me. I understand your hesitance. Whether or not you decide to come with me,
you have inherited your father�s title and money. And when I pass, you and your cousin Dawn will divide my estate,
which contains the bulk of the family�s assets. What you have inherited from your father is just a small portion
of the family�s wealth. But still, you
are now a very wealthy girl.�

Lilah pulled out a notebook. �Let me advise you on the
specifics of your fathers estate. I
have already had the lawyers set up the accounts. The total inheritance you will be receiving from your father�s
estate is �3 million, which is approximately $5 million in the U.S. You have access to a quarter of your
inheritance immediately. Another
quarter will be available on your 21^st birthday, and the remainder
on your 25^th. Another $1
million was left to your mother. Before
you leave here today, Ethan will give you all the information you need in order
to access the money. The title and
position transferred at the time of Rupert�s death. You are now Lady Elizabeth Anne Summers Giles.�

Buffy was in shock.
She could not believe the numbers that Lilah was throwing out at
her. She was rich, very rich. And a Lady.
Lady Buffy.

�Buffy, I know this is a lot of information to absorb, and
we can go over it again later. Lady
Lilah and I hope you will consider at least visiting us and the rest of the
family in England.� Ethan pulled out
his wallet and showed Buffy a picture.
�This is your Aunt Drusilla, and with her is our daughter Dawn. Dawn is very anxious to meet you.� Buffy gazed at the dark haired woman and
girl in the photo. So she had an aunt
and a cousin. She couldn�t help be
curious.

�So how is Drusilla?� Joyce inquired. She had to admit, she thought about the girl
often over the years, hoping she was okay.

�She�s fine.� Lilah answered quickly and turned toward
Buffy. �Now Buffy, I understand you are
set to start college in August at Sunnydale University studying Art History,
but I would like you to reconsider. Our
family home is about an hour away from Oxford, and with our connections we
could have you enrolled this fall. Your
father and mother attended, as did your grandfather. Oxford has an excellent Art History program, and I�m sure your
aware of the University�s reputation.
They even have an American dorm, with many other American students, so
I�m sure you�d feel very comfortable.
On weekends, you could come visit us at the family estate, Pembrook.�

Never in a million years did Buffy think she would ever have
a chance to attend a school like Oxford.
Especially with her grades.
Proximity wasn�t the only reason she had chosen Sunnydale U. It was tempting, but, �I don�t think I�m
ready to leave Sunnydale and my mom,� she told Lilah.

�Honey, don�t hold back on account of me. I will come visit you anytime you are
lonely. You were starting college
anyway and you were going to live in the dorms, so you wouldn�t be seeing that
much of me. This is a very wonderful
opportunity that Lady Lilah is offering.
It�s also you birthright.� Joyce
stroked Buffy�s hair and smiled encouragingly.

Buffy looked at herher,her, and she could see that Joyce
thought this was a good idea. �Fine,
I�ll come for one year, but then I�m coming back to Sunnydale.� As Buffy
agreed, she felt a knot at the pit of her stomach. She hoped this wasn�t a mistake.

�Oh Buffy, I�m so happy you agreed. I promise you, you will not regret your
decision.� Lilah beamed. �Ethan and I will get everything ready and
we�ll leave on Wednesday.�

Joyce and Buffy finalized the arrangements and said their
goodbyes. Buffy�s last days in
Sunnydale flew by quickly. She said
goodbye to all her friends, visited all her favorite places one last time, and
spent quality mother/daughter time with Joyce.
Lady Lilah sent servants to pack up her belongings and promised to buy
her a ton of new clothes to start the school year once she reached
England. At the airport, she couldn�t
stop crying as Joyce and Cordy hugged her goodbye. The tears continued as the private plane took off. Buffy stared out the window, memorizing the
Sunnydale skyline behind them.
