The Little Buffy Site

Imagine how Buffy's life might have been different if she and her family had only known of her extraordinary calling (and had moved to Sunnydale) when she was little. All the innocent insignificant details of a child's everyday life could have served to further prepare and strengthen her for the mantle she would one day assume. Here are some of the ways in which things might have been different...

Little Buffy's Christmas Songs

Christmas carols shape many young children's perceptions of what wintertime is all about. And young slayers must be especially aware that while winter's short days and long nights mean less outdoor playtime for their little human friends, they mean lots more of it for their little vampire enemies! "There are far more supernatural forces at work around the holidays than just Santa and his elves," warns the slayer handbook. Here are special versions of classic Christmas songs the Summers family might have sung around the holidays (to prepare their little girl for the demon-infested reality of that season), had they only known she was destined to be "The Slayer":
  1. Holly Jolly Harvest
  2. Rudolph the Red Fanged Weredeer
  3. Vampy Claws is Coming to Town
  4. Moloch the Snowman
  5. Deck the Clowns
  6. Bite Christmas
  7. Winter Xanderland
  8. To Slay in a Manger
  9. Oh Unholy Night
  10. Hark! The Hellmouth's Angel Sings
  11. We Three Fiends
  12. Oh Little Town of Sunnydale
  13. Blessed Saint Demonica
  14. Violent Night
  15. I Saw Mummy Kissing Xander Claus
  16. Der Kindestodt
  17. Sulfur Hells
  18. My Two Sharp Fangs

  20. We Wish You a Scary Christmas
  21. I Cast My Spells on Solstice Day
  22. The Thirteen Days of Undeath

Little Buffy's Pop Songs

Unbeknownst to most people, popular artists often record alternative versions of their biggest songs that can be played in the homes of young slayers to help accustom them to their upcoming roles. It is unknown whether artists record these "extended-slay" versions with full knowledge of the slayer tradition, or merely as creative challenges undertaken at the behest of persuasive watchers. In either case, here are titles from some of the modified pop songs that would have been played in the home of Little Buffy by her parents as she grew up:

Little Buffy's Recreation

Ahhh, recreation and fun, sometimes even for superheroes.... How to fill those idle moments when one isn't saving the world from legions of miniature bloodsucking creeps. These might have been some of Little Buffy's favorite ways of unwinding when she was off-duty, had she and her friends only 'known about her' way back then: return to main menu

Things Buffy's Mom might have said to Little Buffy

The innocuous little statements that parents make to children in everyday conversation are very important in helping youngsters realize who they are and where they are going. Here are some of the ordinary day-to-day things Mrs. Summers might have said to her little girl, had she only known much earlier that Buffy was "The Chosen One":
  1. Honey, why don't you go out and slay in the yard for awhile?
  2. Did you have fun slaying with your friends after school today?
  3. Your report card says that you "slay well with others."
  4. When will you introduce me to all your little slaymates?
  5. Your teacher says you had a lot to share at "Slay and Tell."
  6. We're shopping for weapons, dear. We buy now and slay later.
  7. Your crafts teacher says you make interesting "slay figures."
  8. Never be afraid to slay what's on your mind, Buffy.
  9. Mr. Giles tells me you landed the starring role in the school slay!
  10. As they say on the commercials, dear, "Life's short, slay hard!"
  11. All work and no slay makes Buffy a dull girl...
  12. Slay what you will, I'm not changing my mind!
  13. Buffy, let your little friends share in the killing too. Everyone likes a team slayer.
  14. Make slay while the sun doesn't shine.
  15. Someday you'll grow up and move away from Sunnydale... You're here to slay, gone tomorrow.
  16. Don't commit to any one vampire too early, baby. It's ok to slay the field.
  17. I have a headache. Would you please slay something a little more soothing?
  18. Rumor has it you're quite the hit on the school slayground!
  19. I'm going to a gallery convention this weekend. But I'm concerned that "while the cat's away, the mice will slay..."
  20. I hardly see you anymore. Invite your friend Darla over and slay at home tonight!
  21. What a sense of humor. Oh Buffy, you slay me!
  22. I've never seen another child work as creatively as you do with Slaydoh....
  23. Now Buffy, don't feel you have to kill every single vampire as soon as we get to Sunnydale. Just imagine it's a "slay as you go" plan.
  24. The family that slays together, stays together.
  25. Your father and I think you're stressing-out way too much about this new vampire at school. We just want you to stake it easy!
  26. Tell me why we have to buy your weapons at "Courtney's Medieval Boutique" when they sell the same items at Slay-Mart and Slayless for half the price?!
  27. Don't worry honey, you'll develop a rhythm for staking vampires soon enough. For now, just relax and slay along in time to the music.
  28. Aren't you just the cutest little thing, staying busy in your slaypen like that!
  29. Buffy, how many times have I told you not to slay in the street? You could get yourself killed out there!
  30. This is church, sweetie. Kneel down, close your eyes, touch your cross, then slay really hard for what you believe in.
  31. Cordelia may be the May Queen, Buffy, but you'll always be my little Slay Queen!

Little Buffy's Pal Gallery

Long before they are old enough to wield cameras or VCR's, young children often draw one another to remember special moments and keep their best friends close in their hearts. The friends of little slayers are no exception. Here, some of Little Buffy's afterschool pals create their own images of Little Buffy and her pint-sized gang:

Little Buffy's Keepers

The humble possessions of childhood (a ball of string, a broken dog collar) can often leave a more lasting emotional impression than the most dazzling acquisitions of adulthood (just ask that famous Christmas hero, "The Littlest Angel"). Here, some of Little Buffy's internet pals symbolically "keep" items that might have belonged to Buffy and her gang when they were little kids (had the world only known sooner of her amazing calling):
