So I am slightly obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer right now so I am writing a story. This is plotline takes place during season three, and will correlate slightly with the plot at the beginning of the season. This story is centered on Spike and everyone else but he is the central character. I hope you enjoy this and feel free to review.
It had been an unexpectedly wet summer for Sunnydale, cloud coverage was expected and a downpour occurred almost every other day. This for the younger children turned out to be a great bore; except of course for Cordelia who had spent her holiday in the Canary Islands. It was with reluctance that the students of Sunnydale high packed their bags for the first day of school that started for the morning, hoping beyond hope that a miracle would occur and the summer could be redone with sun shine not rain ruining their days. While most teenagers were heading to bed a car and motorcycle entered the small secluded town stopping by a rundown shack of a house. An unsightly man fell out of the automobile that belonged in a museum and shouted "Welcome to your new home honey" before passing out on the pavement from drunkenness. "Pathetic" whispered the figure as it stepped off of the black and chrome motorcycle and into the house.
Willow was walking up the steps to the high school and she saw Xander and slowly waved her hand smiling. "Hey Willow, long time no see" he stated laughing. "Right because last weekend was so long ago" she said laughing. "Oh, look there's Buffy" stated the slim girl running slightly toward her friend. As they embraced and started to talk about what they had done, that was when Cordelia showed up with two boys on either arm. "Wow loser zone" she stated when walking past the trio. She put on her classic smirk and turned to see their faces but stopped dead in her track when she saw what was coming her way. A boy on a motorcycle had just cruised up and the figure riding it was making Cordelia want to swoon. The boy was wearing camo cargo pants and a tight fitting tank top, with a matching camo had, black boots. Perhaps it was the short hair or slight indication of eye liner or the leather fingerless gloves with metal studs that was attractive. "Hey, Cordelia, you alright?" Xander questioned, noticing the far look in the brown haired girls eyes. "Oh, Xander, right, it was nothing" she stated as she eyed the new boy walking in her direction. Her breath stopped short when he stopped in front of them. "Can any of you direct me to the Principals office?" the fellow asked holding his helmet in hand looking to the group. "Why of course I can take you the Principle Snyder's office" stated Cordelia putting on the charm. Xandr noticed this and quickly interjected "No. Cordelia you get to class, first period is about to start" the boy lied. "Not Xander, we still have forty five minutes until classes start" said Willow checking her watch but looked up and gulped when she saw Xander's glare. She mouthed wordlessly "Sorry" before looking back to the new arrival.
"Well guys this has been great, but I do have an appointment, talk later maybe?" stated the boy turning. "Wait, I'll take you to the Principles, no guarantee he won't throw something at me, he hate me" stated Buffy taking to boys arm out of instinct; once she realized it she quickly retraced her hand. "So, you new here?" questioned the blond haired girl. "Yeah, just moved in" stated the male shrugging his shoulders. "Well, here you are, Principle Snyder's home base, now I'm going to skidaddle before he threaten to kick me off campus again" said Buffy with a wave, before skipping off in the direction of her first class. Taking a deep breath the black cloaked figure knocked on the Principles door.
"Well Ms. Hill I'm happy to see that you are a normal, I mean, well at least you're a high achieving student" stated Snyder looked down to the seated transfer glaring who was looking out the window at the cloudy sky. "Despite your spotless record Ms. Hill there will have to be some changes. I don't know what the dress code was back at your old school but I'm afraid that those tattoos and lip piercings will have to go, not really school appropriate if you ask me. So some long sleeves next time please" The short man was gesturing to the girls arms." Looking away from the man and his intense stare the girl felt cornered; perhaps that was what the man wanted. "I see that you made it to state try outs last year for cross country, I expect to see you at practice tomorrow morning, fife thirty A.M. in front of the school. "Sir with all due respect, you don't have a cross country team, I checked" stated the girl. "Well now that you are here we do" stated the man, "now off with you to first period, I believe that is Latin, and for goodness sake put on some feminine clothing you look like a boy" with that the meeting with Principle Snyder came to an end and the girl harshly pushed from the opposing desk and left the stuffy room.
When the bell for lunch rang the girl quickly departed the math class and but ear buds in. Going down the hall at a fast pace did not mean she did not get the treatment that she had received all day. Girls seemed to flock to her, it was of course because of the surprisingly male physique she had. She stopped short when she saw the library. Turning around she stepped inside, breathing in the silence.
Giles heard the door open and suspected it would be Buffy so he called out "What is it Buffy, I'm kind of busy right now" walking out of his study he realized his mistake. "Forgive me, how can I help you?" questioned the older man. "Hello. Sorry to have disturbed you I was wondering if you had any Latin texts and also Dante's Inferno" "Ah, nice choices, diverse" stated the Giles 'I certainly have many Latin texts; they are all just spell books' he thought. "Here is a Latin book, it's not extremely difficult but not easy and for the other book, give me a minute" 'Well this is new, suddenly someone needs a book that we don't have" sighing Giles entered his office and went to his personal collection of classics. Grips the spine of the very old book he took it out, this girl better take care of this he thought. "Well here you have them, and your name is?" he had to ask. "Nux, Nux Shepard Sir, will these be due in two weeks' time?" the girl asked. "Yes of course, thank you Nux" stated Giles looking over the figure, try to identify their gender. The girl put the books in her bag and left.
Stepping into the road Nux mounted her motorcycle and sped down the lane toward a coffee shop close to campus, ordering a latte and sitting at a chair close to the window drinking the warm liquid while turning through the pages of the Latin book. Arriving back at school with plenty of time to spare. Walking into the women's restroom when she left the stall Cordelia was standing at the mirror fixing her perfect lips. Nux tried to walk past but was stopped by her words. "Nux, what are you doing in here, this is the ladies bathroom, are you trying to stalk me" she shouted out. The other girl heaved a sigh "So sorry to disappoint you Cordelia but I'm a girl" Nux stated blandly. "You're a what, no, you're just sick or feeling bad, you can't be a boy because I was planning on how you were going to ask me to prom and all" said the longer haired girl with apprehension and shock. Thankfully at the moment Willow walked in the door. "Hey Willow give us a hand and explain to Cordelia here my gender" stated the girl. "Oh, yeah we may have all made a mistake this morning, I went with Nux this morning to the nurse to check all her paper work and physical for cross county, she's a bonafide female" said Willow smiling. "Ugh" Cordelia shivered and stormed out of the room. Willow and Nux shrugged their shoulders and exited the room as well "So how about that history homework" Will said as they left the area.
As Nux left for home in the gathering darkness a black car swerved into the Sunnyvile sign knocking it over. Getting out of the car a very drunk Spike tumbled onto the grass and muttered "I'm home" (To Be Continued)
