Chapter 1
The Bronze
Buffy and Willow entered the bronze and found a booth between the bar and dance floor, they had just enrolled in the college that day and decided to hit the bronze to celebrate. Xander was at the bar with Anya buying drinks, but it looked like they were having yet another argument.
"Are you excited about your first class tomorrow" Willow asked really giddy.
"Sure" Buffy said with a nod, and willow frowned at her.
"What? I'm excited, a little nervous. College is a big step, I didn't expect to survive high school, and I hope college is a little quieter on the slayer side of things"
"Buffy, were still in Sunnydale and your still the slayer I doubt it's going to be quiet, but college is exciting we get to learn lots of new things and come and go as we want, meet new people" Willow said the last part with intent.
"Meet new people, probably more vampires and demons" Buffy said with a little laugh
"and anyways I have all the people need right here" Buffy said smiling as Xander and Anya sat down with their drinks.
Oz decided to join them and sat down besides Willow smiling and giving her a gentle kiss, Buffy looked over at Xander and him and Anya looked like they were still in the heated debate. It was times like this Buffy really felt like a fifth wheel, usually when she felt like the odd one out she would leave using the slaying as an excuse, but she was in a good mood and wanted to celebrate being a college student.
"Am going to grab a drink, anyone want?" Buffy said standing, but all her friends shook their heads.
Buffy made her way over the bar, and sat on a stool while she waited for her turn. A guy sat next to her and turned to smile.
"Hi there" He smiled at her and looked her up and down. Buffy looked at him, he had a gentle smile and bright green eyes that looked straight through her, she couldn't help but smile back.
"Hi, yourself" Buffy smiled back at him, she also took the chance to look him up and down, black combat boots, dark jeans and a dark leather jacket.
"Can I buy you a drink?"
"Thanks, but am capable of getting my own" Buffy quipped back at him.
He raised his hand and ordered to beers from the bar tender who served him straight away. He turned to smile at her.
"I'm sure you are, but pretty girl like you shouldn't be drinking alone"
"Who says am alone" Buffy answered him.
"Well I don't see a guy lingering after you, so I figured I'd get in while I could" He smiled at her.
"Am Dean and you are?"
Buffy heisted for a moment.
"Buffy"
"Buffy, interesting name you have there, for an interesting girl am sure" Dean said as he handed Buffy her beer.
"Thanks" Buffy said rolling her eyes.
"What" Dean said laughing?
"That the best you got" Buffy said laughing
Dean laughed with her; he could tell she was a feisty one. But he enjoyed a challenge.
"Want to dance?" Dean said and nudged Buffy a little.
Buffy was going to say no, she was here with her friends not to meet guys, but when she looked at him and his smile she decided one dance wouldn't hurt.
"One dance, to say thanks for the drink, doesn't get any ideas" Buffy nudged him back.
Dean laughed and took her by the hand and led her to the dance floor, it was a steady beat so they were close together but not quiet touching.
"Do you live round here?" Dean asked
"Yeah, I go to Sunnydale College, what about you? Are you new here?"
"Am new in town, haven't decided how long I'll be here yet" Dean smiled at her and raised his eyebrows at her.
Buffy smiled back at him, she couldn't quiet figure this guy out, it was then Willow approached them both.
"Buffy, there's a situation and your needed" Willow whispered to Buffy.
Buffy took the hint, she meant vampire situation, and great she never got a night off.
"Something's come up, and I have to leave" Buffy said to Dean as she began to leave, he grabbed her by the arm gently and whispered in her ear
"Don't forget next time, you still owe me a dance" he teased with a smile
"How do you know there's going to be a next time?" Buffy said playfully
"It's something I'll make sure of" Dean said with a wink.
Buffy laughed a little and walked back to her booth, grabbed her bag and headed for the direction out back were Willow was directing her, time to slay!
