Xander POV

Okay Xander you can do this. It's just asking Buffy on a date. Buffy, who you've had a crush on since you first saw her. Oh my God, what am I thinking? I can't go through with this! She's going to laugh in my face thought Xander as he started to hyperventilate. But no, he couldn't chicken out this time. If he didn't pluck up the courage and ask her out, he knew he would always wonder what would've happened. Xander was sitting at the Bronze with Willow, waiting for Buffy to join them. He felt butterflies in his stomach at the very thought of asking Buffy out, but he knew that tonight had to be the night.

"Willow how do I look?" Xander asked.

"Xander, quit worrying, you look great." Willow reassured him. "You always look great." She added wistfully.

Just then, Buffy walked into the Bronze. She was looking so hot with her gorgeous blonde hair resting just past her shoulders. Buffy's curves were accentuated by the tight black leather pants she wore. The green jacket she wore with a white tee shirt really brought out her green eyes. She was the only one in the room that Xander could see. He felt all warm and tingly just looking at her. She smiled when she noticed Willow and Xander and walked over to their table. Her smile made Xander go weak in the knees.

"Hey guys, thanks for inviting me out. A demon-free night with my two best buddies is exactly what the doctor ordered." Buffy said.

"I suddenly got really thirsty. I'm going to go order a soda" Willow said, leaving Xander and Buffy alone.

Now that he and Buffy were alone, Xander's heart felt like it was pounding in his throat. He tried to get the words together in his mind to ask Buffy out so that he wouldn't wind up sounding like a stuttering idiot. Okay here goes.

A.N: Sorry for the really short first chapter this time. The chapters will get longer, I promise.
