Honey I Shrunk the Slayer

Chapter One

Warren Mears looked up at his latest machine. The freeze ray didn't do so well, and neither did the invisibility ray thing. But this one, he was sure that it would work. It was small, but very technological, all these wires going around it to various places, each of the five red buttons doing a different thing and even more if someone decided to move the lever on the side of the machine.
"Wow," Jonathan Levinson said in amazement. "What is it?" he asked, frowning at it. He looked more closely at the machine, trying to see if he could guess what it was.
Andrew Wells walked over and stood next to Warren. "What's it do?" he asked as he sat down in a chair beside Warren, spinning it around in a circle with his feet up, laughing like a little child.
"You'll see," Warren told the other members of the Trio. He smiled his "evil smile", laughing hysterically.

Buffy Summers looked out the window. Seeing that it was dark outside, she frowned, turning to the other Scoobies. "I guess I'll go patrolling. There's this thing out there," she said frowning again. "Definitely non-vampire." She looked anxiously at the Scoobies. "You guys coming?" she asked eagerly.
Willow Rosenberg and Tara Maclay looked at each other. "Sure," Willow said. Tara nodded and the two Wiccans got up to get some stakes.
Buffy smiled, grateful for the company. "Great. Anyone else?"
Dawn Summers stood up quickly. "Ooh! Me! Me! Pick me! I wanna come! Pick me!" She started bouncing with excitement.
Buffy looked sternly at her younger sister. "No!" Dawn frowned in disappointment. "You're too young."
"Don't you have homework?" Willow asked, coming to Buffy's rescue.
Dawn groaned. "Math. *Still* seemed cooler when we were singing about it." She sat down on the couch waiting for the Scoobies to leave.
"We'll come," Xander Harris announced, placing his arm around Anya's shoulder. "I'll even bring snacks!" He and Anya stood up and went into Buffy's kitchen. "Doritos or Cheese Curls?" Xander called out into the living room.
"Doritos!" Willow yelled back quickly as a smile overtook her face.
"Ok!" Xander said, coming back out with the bag of Doritos in his hands.
"Great!" Buffy said, opening the front door. "We better get going." She turned to Dawn. "Ok, finish dinner, homework, and don't stay up too late, k?"
Dawn sighed. "Ok."
"Great," Buffy said, walking out the door. "See ya later." With that all the Scoobies followed her out the door and on their way over to Restfield Cemetery.

"Someone take this," Warren said quietly so the Slayer would not hear him, crouching down behind a rather large tombstone. He held up his little machine that he made.
"Not me!" Jonathan argued. "They're too tall."
"Alright," Andrew said with a sigh. "I will." He smiled. "Dude, this is *so* cool."
"Shh!" Warren commanded. "They'll hear you!" he added, pointing at the approaching Scooby Gang. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Did you hear that?" Tara asked, looking around her to see if there was anything in the shadows following them.
"Hear what, baby?" Willow asked, turning to look at Tara. The two witches ran up to Buffy.
"I-I thought I heard something," Tara said quietly. She paused for a second. "Maybe not."
"Oh," Buffy said. She pointed back at Anya and Xander eating Doritos. "Probably just them," she pointed out.
Willow smiled, putting another Dorito in her mouth. "Or me!" she said.
"Oh look," Buffy said, her eyes focused on something behind Tara's head. "Vampires," she said. "Fun."
Willow looked around. "Uh, not vampires," she said, looking more closely at the three men walking up to them. "More like Warren, Jonathan, and the other one," she said, sighing.
"Oh, them," Buffy sighed, putting her stake into her coat pocket.
Xander caught up with the rest of them, Anya right behind him. "What have we got?" he asked. He looked down at the bag in his hands. "Besides an empty bag of Doritos."
Anya looked up at Xander. "Full stomachs?" she suggested helpfully. "Uh, messy hands?" She frowned.
Buffy glared at the two of them. "No, we have nerds," she said.
"Nerds?!" Xander asked. "I like nerds! They're tasty."
"No, I mean the Evil Nerd Herd!" Buffy told them. "Y'know, Warren, Jonathan, and uh Whatshisname."
Andrew walked over to them, the machine in his hands. "My name's Andrew," he said with a sigh. "I am evil!"
Buffy rolled her eyes before glancing down to look at the machine. "Wait," she asked, "what does that do?"
Andrew smiled, pushing the button. "You'll find out soon enough," he told them as a green light came out and hit the Scooby Gang, knocking the five of them onto the ground.

"'You're too young'," Dawn muttered bitterly. She made a face and looked up from Buffy's dresser. "Too young my ass," she muttered. She grabbed the stake and cross and headed down the stairs. She opened the door and walked out onto Revello Drive.
She began walking down the road, seeing no trouble. "I can handle myself," she said to herself. "I could go patrolling. Buffy and them did it all the time when they were my age. It's just not fair. I could save the world if someone handed me superpowers and stuff." She continued walking. "It's *so* unfair," she muttered.
"What's unfair, Nibblet?" Spike asked, approaching her from behind the bushes next to the Summers house.
Dawn groaned. "Buffy won't let me patrol," she said. She began swinging her stake around. "I can do it if she'd let me," Dawn added.
"Well, well then," Spike said, walking down towards the cemetery. "Looks like you've got yourself a bit of a problem." He shrugged, tossing his cigarette down on the ground as he began walking to the empty street. "I can find 'em for yu, if you want."
"Sure," Dawn agreed as she began following the vampire.
Dawn glared at him and walked down to the cemetery, looking for the Scoobies. "Uh, Spike, are you sure they're here?" she asked the vampire a few minutes later.
Spike shrugged. "Yea," he added. "Five of them, bag of Doritos," he said.
"That's them," Dawn sighed.
"Cemetery," Spike declared.
Dawn nodded and walked through the cemetery. She didn't see anything. She walked around some more, finding the bag of Doritos on the ground. "Well, they must have went home," she muttered before heading back to the house.

"Did it work?" Jonathan asked. After going back to their "lair", the Evil Nerd Herd was discussing their latest bit of work during the commercial breaks of Enterprise.
Andrew smiled. "Can I say, 'Honey I shrunk the Slayer'?" The three of them laughed.
