Time Is Of The Essence-Au Buffy and Xander Fiction. Enjoy the show. R&R
The clock rings 6:30AM and a very tired Xander hits the clock to shut it off. He then puts his pillow over his head.
"Xander wake up," says Willow coming into his room and pulling his pillow off of him. Xander grunts then looks at Willow. Willow gives him one of her looks then marches out of the room. Xander then decides to get up and as he is putting on his pants he sees Oz pass by his door.
"So decided to join the land of the living today," says Oz pulling up his jacket.
"Yeah, why the hell not," says Xander. "Might as well face my inedible fate."
"Xander is not like it's all that bad," says Oz.
"Nah," he says. "I've got Buffy. That's all good." He puts a jacket on and heads out of his room with his big brother.
"Good morning Xander," says his mom. "Sleep well honey?" She was serving food to her husband who is a complete slob. All he does is sit around watching soap opera's and drinking beer.
"I'm doing fine," says Xander as he grabs a cup of orange juice from the table.
"Dad aren't you going to find a job any time soon," says Willow meekly.
"I've got the newspaper here," says her dad. He shows her the paper in his hands. Willow and Oz sit down at the table as their mom is putting pancakes for them to eat.
"You know your farther wasn't always like this," says their mom as she takes a seat. "He was sweet and romantic. He took me to the Famous Film Couples Dance. He wouldn't have asked me if..."
"Yeah mom you told us this a hundred times," says Willow. "One of grandpa's horses got loose and it almost trampled dad to death."
"Mom, as much as I love to hear you lovely stories I've gotta get going," says Xander stuffing down one of the pancakes down his throat. Xander goes over and kisses his mom on the cheek and glares at his dad who is reading the sports section of the newspaper.
"You need a ride?" ask Oz. Xander nods and grabs his skateboard.
"Nope," says Xander as he heads out the door. "Going to pick up Buffy." Xander skated out into the streets of Sunnydale tagging along on the back bumpers of cars.
*************
As Xander arrived at Buffy's he quickly jumps off the skateboard and opens the front door allowing himself into the house. A lot of noise came from the house as he entered. It wasn't music. It was Buffy's godfather's machines.
"Hey sweetie," says Buffy welcoming him with a kiss. "Gotta find my homework." Then Buffy's dog Dotty, a Dalmatian, and jumps on top of Xander licking his face. Xander pets the little dog and throws her chew toy across the room. Dotty quickly runs after it.
"What is Giles doing?" ask Xander who was always curious about Giles' machines.
"Oh the usual," says Buffy as she pulls the pillows of the sofa up. Xander decides to go into the lab of Giles to see what he is up to.
Xander sees Giles drilling something and wearing protection glasses. Giles looks up and stops. He takes his protection glasses off.
"Xander I didn't hear you come in," says Giles. "Look I'm doing an experiment tonight. I really would like to come and help me out."
"Yeah sure," says Xander. Buffy comes into the lab with a paper in her hand and a pair of roller skates over her shoulders.
"Found it," says Buffy. "Let's go. We are going to be late."
"Okay," says Xander as he headed out of the lab. Buffy kisses Giles on the cheek and followed Xander out the door.
The two headed to school. Xander tagging along the back bumpers of cars and Buffy behind him on roller-skates holding onto him. When they arrived at the school the bell had rung and they headed to the back of the school. Oz and Willow helped them get in without anybody seeing them. Especially principal Snyder, who is out to suspend Xander and Buffy if they are ever late to school.
"Xander Buffy you gotta be careful." Willow goes up to Xander as they headed out of the school. "If Snyder..."
"Don't worry Willow. We are going to be fine." Xander looks at Buffy as she puts on her roller skates on the steps of the front of the school.
"So, you still are going to the beach this weekend?" ask Oz. Beside him is a blonde girl wearing a green dress.
"Tha That's really nice," says the girl next to Oz. Oz squeezes her hand and smiles at her.
"Hey, you guys like to come with?" ask Buffy as Xander helps her up with her roller skates. The two smile and nod their heads.
"Hello Ms. Rosenberg," says one of Willows teachers with a smile. Willow waves at him and smiles back. Her friends look at the teacher then at Willow.
"What?" ask Willow looking at her friends.
******************
Buffy and Xander head to the mall parking lot where Giles had told them to meet him. They see Giles messing with his inventions in his white lab coat. The two head over to where Giles is standing.
"Xander Buffy." Giles turns around and is surprise to see Buffy. He thought that Xander was coming on his own.
"Hey, Giles." Xander puts his skateboard against Giles van. "What kind of experiments are you doing?"
"It's the greatest yet." Giles walks over to his van and lets out Dotty. He leads her into a strange vehicle next to the van.
"What is that Giles?" ask Buffy pointing at the car, which was a delorian. Giles closes the door with Dotty inside the car.
"You'll see," says Giles as he pulls out a remote control that controls the car. He maneuvers the car all the way to the end of the parking lot. Then he makes the car go fast across the parking lot and in an instant the car disappears into a bunch of sparkling lights. Both Buffy and Xander were shock at what Giles had done.
"Oh my God. Giles you just fried Dotty." Buffy covers her eyes and turns away.
"No, she's alright." Giles looks at his clock and in an instant the car reappears. Giles opens the door and Dotty comes jumping out unharmed.
"She's alright." Buffy goes up to Dotty and hugs her tight.
"Well of course she's alright," says Giles. "I wouldn't put her any type of danger."
"Giles how did you...what did you do?" ask Xander confuse by all this.
"Xander this car is not just a regular car." Giles pulls Xander over to the car. He opens the door and shows him the interior and how the car is powered. "It's time machine."
"A what?" Xander is lost. Buffy is bewildered.
Suddenly a car comes driving down the streets. Giles eyes widen and he begins to collect his things and puts them into his van. Buffy and Xander just stare at him.
"I want his new toy," says the man driving the car named Warren. His friend Jonathan grabs a strange weapon and points it out the window. "Say bye bye doc."
"No..."Giles is shot by some sort of electrical shock and falls to the ground. The guys in the car smile and begin to get out of their car.
Buffy and Xander get to Giles side. In his hands were the keys to the time Machine and as Giles took his last breath they fell into Xanders hands.
"No Giles!" Buffy begins to sob. Then they see the men that killed him.
"Give us the keys?" ask Warren. Jonathan points the gun at the two.
"Like hell I will," says Xander pushing Buffy behind him to protect her.
"Fine then you'll die," says Warren as Jonathan pressed the trigger. Xander and Buffy closed their eyes. A couple seconds later nothing happen.
"Blasted weapon. It's not working." Warren got angry. Xander took full advantage and ran Warren down. Warren falls to the ground.
"Buffy get in the car," says Xander indicating the Time Machine. She hops into the passenger seat and Xander into the driver seat. Then Jonathan fixed the weapon and began to shoot at them. Xander puts his feet on the gas and speeds away. He did a couple turns then he speeds through the parking lot going 88 miles per hour and suddenly disappeared.
The clock rings 6:30AM and a very tired Xander hits the clock to shut it off. He then puts his pillow over his head.
"Xander wake up," says Willow coming into his room and pulling his pillow off of him. Xander grunts then looks at Willow. Willow gives him one of her looks then marches out of the room. Xander then decides to get up and as he is putting on his pants he sees Oz pass by his door.
