After Buffy closed the hellmouth in Sunnydale, with a little help from her friends, of course, she decided that it was time for a brief vacation from fighting the good fight. It wasn't hard to pick a destination: Paris, the city of lights, love, and high fashion.
Buffy, Willow, and Giles, along with Faith and Kennedy, headed off for a week of well-earned fun. Reluctantly they left Xander, who chose to finally take that cross-country road trip in hopes of coming to terms with the loss of Anya. Buffy and Dawn managed to contact their father, and Dawn decided to live for a while with him in Spain.
It only took one day in France for the Scoobies and company to realize that they had probably picked the wrong city for a relaxing vacation. Paris, situated on a hellmouth? Who knew?
With their vacation cruelly thwarted, they decided to get back to work. The new Slayers that Willow had activated needed to be found and trained, and what better place to train a bunch of vampire Slayers than on the latest hellmouth? They also needed to train Watchers, with the old Council gone, and everyone agreed that it was a good idea to help novice witches and warlocks learn to control their power. With these ideas in mind they created the Academy of Mystical Studies. Buffy and Faith would jointly train the Slayers, Giles would train the Watchers, and Willow would train the magic users. Eventually they hoped to hire other teachers and staff as well.
Kennedy returned to the United States after she and Willow realized that what they had wasn't real, and they mutually ended it. Kennedy would lead the Slayers who already had some training and help locate new Slayers in North America. Xander planned to join the Scoobies in Paris when he was ready.
So, finally, autumn is here, and it's time for the school's grand opening. Mystically-inclined young people from around the world have come, eager to hone their skills and learn from the group of heroes who stopped so many apocalypses. But what might this new hellmouth hold in store for them? That's what you're about to find out...
