It's a dark night in early November just after sunset. Buffy's walking along the cemetery

walk with only a little light from an above street lamp. Just then she see's a group of

vamps huddled around a person. She sneaks up behind the group of vampires and drops to the ground and sweeps 3 of the 5 vamps down to the ground.

"Just because I'm the slayer I don't get an invite?"

she grabs 2 stakes out of her jacket and turns 2 vamps into dust.

"Buffy?"

she turns around quickly to stare at the person who was about to be vamp chow. "Parker?"

She blocks a punch inches from her face and flips the vamp onto his back

"Stay down!"

2 vampires charge towards Buffy. She does a back flip to avoid the charging enemies. Before they realize it the vamps ran into each other and fall to the ground. Buffy stakes bends down and stakes them. She looks up at the remaining vamp that looks down at the piles of dust then runs away.

Buffy turned around to find Parker getting up. "Buffy, you just saved my life. I'm sorry for the way I acted and treated you. Is there any way you could ever forgive me?"

"Buffy . . . Buffy!"

I shake my head. I'm back in psych 101. Ugh was I having that dream again? I look down to see Parker sitting 4 rows in front of me all flirty with another girl. Why can't he be flirty with me any more? I mean, flirting leads up to sex and we already did that but can there still be flirting!

"Buffy were you sleeping?"

"Huh? Umm no Will I was just thinking"

Willow starts to giggle.

"Well when you think, you snore really loud."

Oh geeze

"Oh my god was I really that loud?"

Willow couldn't stop her silent laughter

"Don't worry Buff, only a select few coulda heard ya."

She puts on her reassuring Willow friendly smile. That's when we decided to pay attention for a little bit. Not even 5 minutes later I feel Willow tap my shoulder.

"I wonder who that is."

I look to where she was gesturing and I see . . . wow.

" Is this psych 101?"

I space out again and instead of Parker in the cemetery it's this girl holding white roses and Ben n Jerry's.

I snap out of it again. Willow's poking her head forward and looking to my right.

" Hey. I'm Willow, you might wanna sit down."

I don't even notice that I'm still staring at this amazing brunette. Her eyes were as brown as her hair and she was wearing black denim jeans with a white shirt that left a little of her belly showing.

"Wow"

Buffy couldn't take her eyes off of her. Willow starts to whisper in my ear.

"I know Buffy. I mean, those lap tops aren't even available yet."

My eyes widen with fear and embarrassment. Did I really say wow out loud? Good thing for Willows innocent or she would have known I was checking out…what is her name anyway? She starts to laugh,

" Well I try my best to keep up with the latest technologies."

Willows jaw drops "Me too! So what kind is it?"

So while all the computer nerdy talk is going on I can't help but feel left out. Hello! Right in between you two! Acknowledge my presence! I've never felt this giddy before….what gives? I can't help but sneak looks over at this new girl. So she's a nerd…I can live with that.

FPOV

So me and this Willow girl are talking bout all this nerdy tech stuff. Ok ok I will admit that it seems real…geeky but this laptop is amazing for storing all my fuckin slipknot and korn shit on! So like I was saying….. me and Willow are talking…well mainly Willow, and out of the corner of my eye I see the girl in-between us just sneakin glances at me. Not that sneaky if I say so myself. Wow… so from what I can see she's amazing. I can't tell how tall…or short she is on the lack of standing but, her eyes….she's got the eyes of angel. Talk to her Faith! Its not gonna kill you! So I turn my head towards her and give her a lil smile

"Hey"

She blinked a lil bit and gave me a nervous smile.

"I'm Faith"

I extend my hand out.

BPOV

"Hey"

I blink to snap myself out of it. Shit she caught me staring.

"I'm Faith"

She holds out her hand. I reach and grab her hand and right before our hands touch it feels like I've just been hit by lightening. We both jerk away.

"Damn static electricity."

She says this while holding onto her shocked hand. What the hell was that?

FPOV

Ok so wow it felt like I got the shit shocked outta me.

" So what'd you say your name was?"

She looked at her hand one last time then looked up

"Buffy"

I tried not to let my shock show up on my face. So this is the all-powerful slayer eh?

FPOV

So class ends and Willow and Buffy ask me if I wanna have lunch with them. I decline cuzz lucky me I found a vamp nest last night! I swear, I love this town! Boston never had this much activity. I'd ask Buffy to come too but for some reason I don't think I want her to know that I'm a slayer too.

BPOV

So Faith left and me and Will are sitting down eating lunch. I wonder where Faith had to run off to so quickly.

"Buffy"

wow, what's with me and zoning out today?

"Yeah Will"

I turn to face her.

" I'm gonna be gone tonight. Is that ok with you? I might come in late."

"Well yeah Will. Do I look like your mother?"

She stares at me real hard

"Ok where are you going and with whom?"

I give her my motherly look.

"Well me and Faith decided that we wanted to get to know each other better so we're gonna hang out for a little. Oz is coming too so it is totally supervised."

We both smile but deep down I feel jealous. Why do I feel jealous? I that's right! I'm all down because of Parker and Will will barely talk about it anymore. I think she's sick of me talking about how much of a whore I think I am. And now Will's got two other friends to hang out with. Well who needs em! I got Ben n Jerry so I am set and I'm perfectly fine. Oh poo I'll just go hang out with Xander at the bar.

FPOV

So a very successful raid. Except for the gash on my forearm. Eh slayer healing, it'll be gone in a day or two. Ok so I'm on my way to pick Willow up and from the looks of it outside we got about a good hour or so of sunlight. So when I reach the down number Willow gave me I knocked on the door. That's when I notice the gash on my knuckle. "Great"

Just then somebody opens the door. When I look up I'm expecting to see red but instead I see blonde.

"Your hurt"

BPOV

I open the door to find Faith looking at a cut on her knuckle.

"Your hurt"

she looks up

"Naw its only a flesh wound. Is Willow here?"

I step aside to let her in. She steps inside and looks around. She's still holding her hand. "She just went to the bathroom. She should be back in a couple of minutes or so."

I look at her hand.

"Its only gonna get worse. Let me at least clean it out."

I grab some gauze pads and alcohol. She pulled up a chair from the desk and sat down. I go and sit down on my bed and she turns in her seat to face me. Remembering the shock from earlier I hesitate to take her hand and I can see she's the same. So I just grab it and all I can feel is major warmth. I start to clean the wound.

" So how did you get such a nasty lil gash?"

I feel her tense up a little.

"Umm…I…I kinda got angry and took it out on a lamppost."

"And how does the lamppost look?"

I feel her relax again.

" I totally kicked its ass."

I glance up at her and laugh.

"Your jacket keeps getting in the way, do you think your can take it off until I'm done?" she slips her arm out of the jacket and you can instantly see the other gash on her forearm.

FPOV

As soon as I slipped out of my jacket I knew that it was a mistake.

"Oh god. What kind of lamppost was it?"

her eyes are wide and now she's looking at it carefully

"Its nothing really."

She just looked up at me with concern flooding her eyes. I don't know what came over me but I just blurted it out.

"You have the most amazing eyes."

She looked down with a shy smile on her face then looked back up into my eyes. I bite my lip. I've seen that look in someone's eyes before. A lot of someone's and I know what that means. She licks her lips and I know for a fact that that means the same everywhere.

Then the door opens and Willow walks in.

BPOV

Wow ok so what just happened? Geeze when she said that about my eyes…my heart just completely melted. Wait! I'm being easy again! I can't let that happen again. O boy. I wonder what would've happened if Willow hadn't walked in. I need a drink. Maybe I can get free drinks form Xander.

FPOV

Ok so that little scene back at the dorm, lets just forget about that for now cuzz quite frankly…I have no clue what the hell happened. I feel like such an ass though now. I was just talking with Red here and she was telling me about how this Parker guy used B. Ok if your wondering what's with the all of a sudden nicknames…I'm not one for work and even a few syllables can get me tired so if they don't like it…fuck it. So yeah I feel weird about what happened in the dorms cuzz it's only been a day and I bet Buffy's tryin to watch how she acts towards people now. It's just too fresh and complicated.

"How did you get those?"

I come back to reality. I have to think or a minute but now I know what Red meant. We've been sitting her for over an hour and I can tell its been buggin her.

"I told you before, I fell down the main campus stairs right after I saw you and Buffy." Her face told me that she didn't believe me one bit. Oz on the other hand has remained emotionless the entire time. Ehh she'll find out sooner or later.

"Ok ok I'll tell you but I just don't want Buffy knowing…well at least not yet."

They leaned in a little closer.

"I'm a slayer"

They quickly retreat.

"Well you must be crazy because I have no clue what you are talking about"

I just look at her.

"Will, if I was faking this then how would I know that Buffy died two years ago?"

"Obituaries"

Oz leans back in and puts his hand out

"Nice to meat you."

I accept his handshake. And here I thought this guy was completely anti-social.

BPOV

So I walk into the door of this bar and I see Xander right away. Can you guess what? He can't give me a free drink! Not even a soda! Ok lets see if anybody interesting is here. Oh god…Parker's here and he's here with another girl. Now why can't I go through guys like that? Oh yeah…it's wrong. I can't stay here watching him kiss another girl. "Xander I think I'm gonna go patrol a little. I'll see you tomorrow." I turn and leave without hearing him say goodbye. As I'm walking out I take one more glance toward Parker. Then that's when I get half a pitcher of beer spilled all over my chest. "Oh wow I am soo sorry. At least that shirt still looks great on you. Say…would you like to come over and have a few drinks with us?" I look up. Eh the guys decent looking. I look over to where he mentioned. His 3 pals aren't half bad either. So why the heck not. Its free beer. How bad can it be?

FPOV

So Will and Oz wanted to stop by a bar to see their friend Xander. They said bar so I said why the hell not. As soon as we walk through the door some tall dark haired guy screams Red and Oz's names from behind the bar. He's not bad lookin.

"Xander, meet Faith. Don't tell Buffy but she's the new slayer."

I can see him drooling and eyeing me up and down. He's trying to hide it but he's doin a horrible job. So Willow and Oz order their drinks and are talkin to each other. I haven't seen two people more in love. Its actually kind of cool compared to the kinda shit I grew up around. I don't wanna think about the past anymore so I decide to talk to Xander. I turn my seat in towards the bar and whip out a cig. As soon as I do this he flicks out a lighter.

"Rough day"

Geeze can anyone sound more manly saying that? He might actually be worth a fuck. Don't be gawkin like you've never thought that about anyone before. I'm in college too so why the hell not fuck around. These are the sweetest days of ours lives people. So I lean in and light up then take a drag.

"Wow, you're a natural."

He gets this goofy ass smile on his face

"Really?"

Ok so ditch the 'fuck' ideas I had earlier. He sounds like a special ed kid who just got a fucking gold star. So we talk about how he, Red and Buffy have been friends since sophomore year in high school. For some reason I only hear the stuff he says about Buffy. I didn't really talk to her at all today but from what he's saying…she's amazing. Looks are not everything guys. I mean hell yea for a one-night stand but…wait…hell no! I am not thinking relationship things towards this girl! I am not a relationship person. I meant friendship. What are you sick fucks thinking? He keeps talkin and I keep drinking. One drink after another. Then another. Then another and I start to feel dizzy so I decide to cut myself off. When I take a glance around I notice that there's only one table full of people left. Oh right! Red and Oz left like an hour ago. Xander's cleaning glasses and I'm smokin another cig.

"I better go cut Buffy off. I don't like her drinkin with those guys. Do you think you can take her home?"

I just give him those blank stares

"Do I look like the ideal designated driver right now?"

"Faith, you didn't drive here. Just carry her home with your manly super strength."

What so I'm a taxi service now? I just met this girl today!

BPOV

It's good. soo foamy and…good. beer.

buffy's beer. cup empty. beer. buffy want more beer.

FPOV

So I'm still sittin at the bar and I see X-man talking to everybody at the table. One of the guys walks into the bathroom. Well not exactly walks. It's more of a sideways limp. Must be some old injury. Anyway so I walk over to the table.

"Buffy, Faiths going to take you home."

Buffy stands up on her chair, well, kind of crouched.

"Buffy want more beer."

Xander lights Buffy down from the chair and inches her towards me. She has this wild look in her eyes. Ha! Lil twinkie can't hold her liquor.

"No more beer Buffy. I'm cutting you off."

She looks back at him then at me.

"Did it hurt?"

I cracked a grin at that one. So I bridal sweep her into my arms and she immediately sinks her head into my chest. I take one more look at Xander then head out on my way to B's dorm.

About halfway there I look down at her. With the moonlight on her face…she looks like an angel. I snap out of my stare-fest when I trip and almost fall over a tree root. So once I get the door open and walk through I laughed to myself a little and hummed here comes the bride. I set Buffy down gently on her bed and pull the covers over her. I grab the chair that I sat on earlier and sit down next to her bed. Willow must be at Oz's place. I raise an eyebrow in thought. She doesn't seem like the vixen kind but I understand. Her and Oz seem like they've been going out for a long time. I look down at B and found myself holding her hand. Before I knew it I was fast asleep.

My dreams were disturbed by loud pounding on the door. When my eyes adjust I see that I'm not in the chair anymore but I'm laying next to Buffy, With my arm around her waist with her still holding onto my hand. She must've pulled me in when she turned around. So I gently take my hand out form her grasp, get up and open the door. What the fuck?

"Xander! And who the hell are you? Do you know what fucking time it is?"

The two men enter.

"Buffy's asleep? Good. Ah, I'm Giles. I take it that you are Faith…the other slayer."

I nod and look at this guy with gray hair and glasses. Not bad for his age.

"Faith, the guys that buffy was drinking with turned into cavemen. It's because of the beer."

"BEER!"

We all turn around to see buffy jolt upright out of bed and run towards Xander.

"Buffy want beer"

Xander backs up and looks at me.

"Well were going out to find the other guys and….."

Xanders words trail off as he sees Buffy standing inches from my face. She buries her head in the crook of my neck and puts her hands on my stomach.

"faith smell good"

My eyes are fucking wide and so are Xander's and Giles'.

Xander gently pulls her away.

"Come on cave slayer. No Faithy for you."

He looks at me.

"Seeing as you're here this late, could you watch over her while we go capture the other guys?"

I look from Buffy to him.

"Can I at least go to the bathroom first? I kinda need a piss break."

I don't care how manly I sound. He nods

"Hurry back. I'm afraid of cave slayer."

He does look genuinely scared. So I race outta the room. When I get into the bathroom I look in the mirror and splash my face with cold water. I look back up. What have you gotten yourself into Faith? Well…let's go watch tinkerbell. I was only gone for 10 minutes and when I get back to the room its empty. Ehh might as well just go back to my dorm cuzz I'm tired and horny as fuck. Ugh I need a cig. So I light one up and make it back to my dorm.
