The moon had reached its highest point as Buffy jump kicked a rather scrawny, 'fresh' vampire to the ground. She elevated herself to higher ground and gripped a metal pole. Swinging up and over the pole she kicked another vampire in the stomach, sending him crashing to the ground. Flipping to right herself as she landed firmly on the ground. She twirled her trusty stake between her index finger and thumb tossing it into the air before promptly sticking it through his empty chest. She turned her head expecting the other to be on his feet but instead a mound of dust lay on the ground behind her. She spun around and stepped close to the mound of dust. 'Where'd tweedle tubby go?' She wondered where the rather obese vampire had gone to!

After searching for the vampire for well over an hour she decided enough was enough. She soon found herself jumping through her open bedroom window. She pressed the locks down and drew her curtains. She flung her weapons into her secret draw and dropped onto her bed. She glanced at her clock. 'Three; wow that was a short patrol!' Buffy curled up on top of the bed and shut her eyes.

Spike paced up and down the cobweb filled room. "Damn it Dru, where's dinner?" Soon enough Drusilla walked into the room holding 3 little girls in her arms. "Ah, one for starters, lunch and desert! Thanks pet." As Spike's hunger took over, he stepped before one of the girls. As she opened her mouth, spike noticed that she bared fangs. "Bugger." He stared at the three munchkins.

"This is Daddy!" Dru gave off a playful grin.

'Triple bugger.' Spike snarled.

'Bugger, bugger, bugger!' One of the girls copied.

'BUGGER!' Another giggled.

'Naughty daddy, you taught them a naughty word!'

Drusilla hit one of the girls hard at the back of her head, and whimpered as Spike grinned. The mansion grew darker and Angelus rushed into the room, slamming the doors into the walls as he made his entrance.

Spike was in the way and so received a blow from Angelus' hand as he stormed past and out the other doors.

"That bloke seriously needs to learn to relax!" Spike opened another one of his beer bottles swigging it straight out of the bottle. One of the girls slowly crept up to him as he sat on the ragged chair. He turned on the television and the girl crawled up onto his lap.

"Hello pet! What's your name then?" Spike played along.

'Darla!' She giggled.

'After Grandma!' Dru smiled and widened her eyes as Spike looked up at her.

As the sun shone through the clouds in the crystal blue sky Buffy, Xander and willow sat outside their school beneath a huge tree.

"So buff; any new creepy grrrr's out there?" Xander stretched his arms out of boredom.

'Nah, just a vampire that can pull a sweet disappearing act!' Buffy joked.

'Hey Buffy I heard about that from Giles, apparently dust has been spotted all over town, so whoever is killing these vampires could be a serious threat, I mean what if they are also our enemy?' Willow got all technical as usual.

'Why wasn't I informed? Giles should tell me everything!' Buffy exclaimed.

Giles suddenly walked by and he seemed in a hurry.

'Hi Giles…' Willow stammered as he didn't even see her waving.

Buffy rose from her position and ran up to Giles.

'HEY GILES!' She shouted.

He just stopped and stared at her.

'Ah; hello Buffy, good morning…I'm sorry but I'm a little busy, we'll talk later!' Giles simply pushed Buffy aside and strolled away.

Buffy glanced at her two friends, who returned the look with smiles.

The three of them walked into school together and were stopped by what seemed to be singing. Buffy peeked into a classroom and saw that one of the teachers seemed to be gracefully singing to themselves while they cleaned off their boards. They carried on down the halls which seemed to never end and Xander suddenly stopped as Anya came running his way.

"SAVE me; someone let the bunnies out of their cages in biology class and their out to dominate the world!" She shouted. The children in the hall all stopped to stare at her.

'So…shall we go get the killer bunnies then?' Xander played along and followed Anya to her classroom.

'Shall we go help them?' Willow chuckled.

'They'll be fine, right now I'm a little worried about Giles!' Buffy smiled, pushing the handle of the library door down. The two of them stepped into the silent room.

No noise, no Giles.

'Where's he gone?' Buffy thought to herself.
