It is all murky in Fray about vampires. It is clear that vamps, demons and magicks were all sucked into a void along with a slayer and her magical friends. But then demons and vamps come back. Except the vamps are called lurks. And I don't think it is ever clear how they got back. (Is it?)
It is also clear that there have been potentials/slayers before Mel, it is just that she got found and actually told she was a slayer. It is NOT clear if there will be slayers after her though. And that - I'm confused as hell about that.
eta: I just contradicted my earlier wank. Damnit!
In which case we're back to two-year-olds with Slayer strength, which is... an amusingly evil thought for me, but then I've never been a parent.
No, no, no. Puberty brings it on. It's womanhood. Two year olds don't need slayer strength.

But remember, that, like, ten year old softball player? With the power shot? She got her Slayer kicks.
But we've all heard the horror stories of the girls who were bleeding from then.
And I hadn't thought she was as young as ten, till you mentioned it.
She looks older than I did at 14, anyway.
She got her Slayer kicks.
I have a whole little story about her in my head and how she really needed slayer power that day because some boy in the stands had made fun of her for being a weak girl who couldn't hit. And then he saw her hit the longest homerun in softball history and was too scared to even look at her ever again.
In other words, the Getting of the Strength was maybe sooner than it might have been in other cases.

The script specifically notes she's on the edge of puberty.

First period - ON my twelfth birthday. 10.5 year old neice, got hers for the first time, this year. Aunt was 11, and that was back in the 40s, in a single family, living on peanut butter and white bread. Ten year old softball players menstruating isn't the anomaly people like dh - who was flabbergasted that aforementioned neice had started might think.
Huh. Okay.
Oh, no. Was that the "Huh. Okay." of what-the-funck-ever-you-brow-beater-Cindy?

I think it's just SA accepting the information with enlightenment. See the lightbulb over her head?
