Buffy Anne Summers born; she will become the Chosen One
[SIZE=-1](Buffy's birthdate is one of the great mysteries, with at least three different dates shown - two in one ep within seconds of each other. Joss has confirmed '81 as the year, and I'm going with January as the month due to that being when the episodes chronicling her 17th birthday first aired. Some have picked the 19th as the date, since the two episodes chronicling her birthdays both aired on that date, which is fine by me but I haven't been able to make that date (or any other) work consistently based on my other calculations. Her middle name was revealed in the third season premiere episode, "Anne.")[/SIZE]

early in year -
Los Angeles 'Valley Girl' Buffy Summers (freshman) is told she is the Chosen One by Merrick, her Watcher, who later dies in battle with the Vampire Lothos; Buffy defeats Lothos in the Hemery High gym; She's also "prettier than the last one" according to the Master
[SIZE=-1](based on her "slaying for over a year" comment in "The Witch." I think it's safe to assume the gym gets burnt down during a later battle, though as someone who's email I deleted pointed out, in "School Hard" when Sheila comments about burning down the gym, Buffy replies with something along the lines of "Not exactly...one time," so maybe the hairspray/cross trick did burn down the gym. Or maybe Buffy was referring to the old science lab that got burnt down in "Some Assembly Required." The episode "Becoming Pt. 1" showed the series Buffy learn about her destiny from a nameless guy with nowhere near the style of the movie's Merrick, but I've kept the name and The Watcher's Guide calls him that, too.)[/SIZE]
