Chapter 1; Jeremiah Harris:
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts," Buffy sang, trying to make that night's patrolling go faster.
"Buffy," warned Giles. "Don't you dare sing the next-"
"Dee-da-lee-dee," Buffy finished just to annoy the watcher.
"Line." Giles sighed and looked at his watch. "It seems a bit slow tonight."
Buffy shrugged. "Yep." She popped a piece of gum into her mouth, then started humming the intro to System of a Down's 'Toxicity'.
Giles looked at her funny. "Maybe it's your incessant singing and humming that's driving the undead away."
"Maybe," said a voice in the shadows. "It's the unappetizing old guy with her."
Buffy and Giles turned around to see a young man walk out of the dark.
"Man, I'm not a vamp, and even if I were, I wouldn't bite you," the man insulted at Giles. "Oh, forgive me for not introducing myself. I'm Jeremiah Harris."
The young man seemed to be about twenty-seven and approximately six foot six with a smirk on his face. His baby blue eyes were sparkling in the moonlight and his black, curly hair was partially concealed in a backwards 49ers cap.
"Exactly how many times has your ass been kicked by a girl?" Buffy got up from sitting on a headstone.
"None as of yet. Why?"
"There's a first time for everything," Buffy said, walking closer to Jeremiah.
"Look, sweety, I don't want to hurt you," Jeremiah answered looking her up and down.
"A: don't call me sweety," Buffy said, tensing up. "and B: you won't." She threw a punch that broke his nose.
He grabbed his nose and swung at her blindly. "Damn you, slayer!" He tripped over a headstone and broke it, falling over and landing on his back.
Buffy was taken aback. "What did you just call me?
