I decided that i missed writing fanfiction. My laptop is on the fritz, so i shelled out money for a tablet. My grammar is going to be sucky until i figure out how to use spell and grammar check. I'm answering an interesting challenge. Also, the chapters are not consecutive. I will flip back and forth between the years, but I will clearly define what part of the show im basing stuff off of.

I do not own btvs or any show i am referencing.

Ni Hao, Kai-Lan

Xander, Buffy, and Willow were tracking a young chinese slayer. She lived in a more remote part of China than they were used to. Somewhere with less technology and absolutely no cell phone signal. So, Willow was using her magic to track her down. She wasn't wild, no nothing of the sort, but she was running from them and they weren't sure why.

Finally, they caught up with her. Buffy grabbed her and tried to explain what was going on, but the girl didn't understand. She didn't speak english.

She pulled away from Buffy and started screaming in chinese. Xander listened before panicking.

"Guys! she wasn't running from us; she is tracking a demon! It's going to attack someone soon!"

Xander replied in chinese that they would follow her and help. She took off again and they followed.

One messy and violent battle later they took down a nasty demon that ate babies. Xander grinned at the new slayer and she smiled back. The two began talking.

"She's not from around here, but she heard from another slayer what was going on. The other slayer couldn't stay for some reason, but she let Ling here now what's the what."

"Since when do you speak chinese?" Willow asked shocked.

"Ni Hao Kai-Lan." Xander grinned.

"That's a kid show!"

"Says the girl who can't speak chinese." Xander teased.

There was much more to it actually. Xander only started off with the show. Colors, numbers, and greetings only took his so far. Later, he moved on to books to get a better handle of the language. Once they started recruiting slayers his language skills really got a work out. The baby slayers were more than happy to help the man who kept them in ice cream and nice clothes.

Willow looked mildly annoyed at his teasing, but he just smirked at her.

One day, he would tell her that he learned more spanish from Telemundo than spanish class in high school.
