'New Rules' (Part 1) by Christos Gage

After saving the world from Slayer-turned-supervampire Simone, and restoring magic and the life of her magically-created sister Dawn, Buffy is in the best place she’s ever been. There is a little weirdness going on, with the Slayer handbook’s pages suddenly being blank… But she’s back together with Willow, Xander and Spike, doing what she was meant to do as the Chosen One: slay vampires.

Santa Rosita, California: while out on patrol in her new hometown, Buffy takes on a hoard of zompires and receives some unexpected help from a gang of vampires and their leader, Vicki. However, Buffy refuses to buy in to the ‘enemy of my enemy’ shtick, and sees off her ‘rescuers’ just as Spike, Angel, Andrew and Dawn arrive on the scene. Working together the gang lure the remaining zompires to a nearby shopping mall, where Xander is setting up a trap using some UV tanning beds (whilst talking to his dead wife Anya). Buffy and her friends make dust of the zompires, only to come under attack from Vicki and her fellow vampires – who are not only impervious to sunlight, but can also transform into ferocious creatures of the night! As the battle escalates, the Scooby gang receives help from some surprising new arrivals – providing Buffy with a very happy reunion with a friend thought lost forever…
