Title: Merry, Scary Christmas
~*~*Summary: Takes place in season 5 right after Intervention. It's around Christmas time in Sunnydale and everything is being jostled about. Dawn just wants to have a normal, happy Christmas. So when she meets a Halfrek she makes a wish, to have all her friends be nice to each other and put the slaying on hold. And so they have the normal American Christmas with a few demons thrown into the mix and a lot of Spuffiness!
AN: Well this is my third fic now so I hope it turns out well. Since it will be Christmas soon I thought I should write a holiday one coz Buffy and her friends don't have very many Christmas episodes. Please Review! Please note that yes there is snow in my story, even though it's in California.
~*~*Disclaimer - Dear Mr. Joss Whedon, How are your employees who you force to work for you? For Christmas I would like for you to give me some of your Buffy characters. Please enjoy the milk and cookies and sign the form beside them that says you won't sue me for using them in my story, because as of now you still own them all.
Sincerely Spuffyfan22
~*~* Buffy walked into their house shaking the snow from her hair. She threw down her weapons at the stand beside the door and yanked off her coat.
"Dawn! Are you home?" She yelled up the stairs.
"You don't have to yell, I'm right here," Dawn said standing at the door frame.
Buffy rolled her eyes, "Are you done your homework?" She said as they walked into the living room.
"Yes, but I don't see why a key needs an education," Dawn whined with a hint of ice in her voice. Buffy froze.
"Don't talk like that Dawn," She said softly. Ever since Dawn found out that she was a key she kept talking about how she wasn't real, Buffy didn't want her saying things like that. It can't be good for morale, she thought.
"So what do you want to do?" Buffy asked trying to lighten the mood. Willow and Tara were at the library studying, Xander and Anya were probably getting busy at their apartment and Giles was never much fun.
"I dunno we could watch T.V. I guess, you left it kind of late to actually do something," Dawn said coolly. Buffy sat down on her couch. It wrinkled at her weight. She shifted around and reached for the remote. Dawn sat down next to her. The glow of the T.V. illuminated the room. Buffy channel flicked. There was nothing on aside from late night talk shows. Buffy turned it off. Dawn seemed unaffected and continued to stare into space.
"What's wrong?" Buffy asked walking over to the door. "Nothing, where are you going?" Dawn asked springing to her feet. Buffy didn't want to be stuck in her house. She was patrolling more and more because it let her mind think about other things. But at home memories of her mother still smothered the house.
"I think I'm going to patrol again, the cemetery was crawling with vamps tonight and I think I should go back and finish what I was doing,' Buffy lied. It was pretty much dead, but she needed space.
"Fine," Dawn said and ran up the stairs and slammed her door. Buffy sighed and put on her ear muffs, gloves and coats.
Buffy strode through the dark, soggy snow. The snow had stopped falling and only the tapping of snow melting and falling from the trees made any sound. Her shoes crunched and she dug into her soles with her toes trying to make extra grip so as not slip on the icy patches. She yawned it was past midnight, but there was nothing that she had to do the next day. 'Maybe I should go window shopping,' Buffy thought, but she mentally groaned. She had no money, but she could always look at the displays. She turned around and started making her way back.
Buffy rubbed her hands together. They felt numb from the cold. She sniffed back the snot in her nose. Since it was California they never expected to have 20 cm's of snow. Thus resulting to Buffy, Dawn, Willow, Xander, Anya, Tara and Giles rushing out to the store to buy winter clothing, along with the rest of Sunnydale's population. Buffy heard a twig break behind her, and swung around clutching her stake tightly.
"Nice to see you too, pet," Spike said casually strolling over to her side. Buffy blushed. She had mixed feeling towards Spike after he had screwed the bot like it was actually her, but at the same time she felt like she should be especially friendly towards him after he had risked his life to protect her and Dawn. Which bruises and scrapes covering his face proved.
"Where you headin love?" Spike asked as they made their way over the mounds of muddy snow.
"Downtown," I guess. "Thought I'd stare at some displays."
"Sounds like good holiday merry making, can I tag along?" Buffy mentally sighed. She nodded dumbly. After all how could it hurt?"
AN: The next chapter will be up in the next two days, and I'll update some of my other fics too. Please R&R if you want me to continue.!!! (
