It was a usual night at the Magic Box. Giles was reading one of his books, Dawn, Willow and Tara were doing homework, and Xander and Anya were on their way into the shop. As they walked in they continued the conversation that they were having.

"But you never want to have sex anymore." Anya said, and everybody turned to look at her.

"Anya honey, remember how I said we shouldn't talk about these things in public?" Xander replied embarrassed.

"And you don't want to bathe together either." She continued, completely ignoring him. "And..."

"Please Anya, don't continue. The rest of us really don't want to know what goes on in you and Xander's personal life." Giles said disgusted.

Willow quickly changed the subject before Anya said something else, like she often did.

"I wonder where Buffy is"

"She out patrolling...again" Dawn said looking up from her homework.

"I hope there aren't any new ooglie booglies out there. 'Cause that would mean all those hours of researching...And headaches." Tara said with good intensions. (A/N: you realize every time somebody says something like that, something really bad happens. Then later they get blamed for it...?) Buffy was out in the graveyard patrolling like she does every night. She was worrying about her bid math exam next week. She thought to herself...I'm the slayer. I already have enough things to worry about. Math shouldn't be one of them. I have to slay vampires, demons, and other such evils of darkness. You'd think I'd get a "get out of math forever" free card or something. As she went on thinking how sucky and unfair life could be, she had no idea she was being watched.

From the bushes a blonde vampire stood watching Buffy's every move. Some day pet, you'll be mine. Buffy had no idea how much Spike loved or obsessed over her. She was to busy with Riley. (A/N: Ok there's a good reason for Riley being in this story. You see, me and my best friend, almost sister Ashy have thought up many things for Riley. I'm finally going to put them in a story.) Spike hated Riley so much. Not only because he was going out with Buffy, but because he was a total dumbass and a stupid idiot. Okay so yes, Spike mostly hated him because he was going out with Buffy.

Spike continued thinking of way he'd kill Riley if he didn't have this bloody chip in his head. He didn't even notice the presence of a demon in the graveyard. A demon that was sent to torture and slowly kill Buffy Summers.

(A/N: please R&R.....suggestions are welcomed...thanks.)
