It was night. Two girls walked home, after a night at The Bronze. The street lamps lit up their path ahead. They walked quickly, both a little scared of being out on the empty street in the dark.
'I cannot believe Aaron said that to you' said one girl.
'I know. He is a total jerk. I'm dumping him tomorrow' replied the other
'I don't even know why you're dating him Sarah.'
'You know why don't you, Alex?
'Why?'
'Cause he has a cute butt'. The two of them laughed. A noise suddenly stopped them they stood in silence and looked around.
'What was that?' Sarah asked her voice quivering a little. She pulled her jacket around her. There was no sound to be heard but the trees rustling softly in the breeze and the faint buzz of the street lamp above their heads.
'Let's go' Alex replied, taking hold of her friend and pulling her along the street. There was a loud crash and a man crashed out of the bushes in front of them. The girls screamed and ran back down the street. Sarah ran ahead but the heel on Alex's shoe broke and she fell.
'Sarah' she screamed as she scrambled to get up. The man was on her in a second. 'Help me' she screamed. Sarah turned around. The man looked up at her; the gold harlequin mask he wore glinted in the light. He laughed cruelly and then he grabbed Alex by the throat and pulled her into the bushes with him.

Buffy ran. Her feet pounded on the concrete as she chased the vampire through the moonlit streets. Her mind was completely clear all she could think about was the kill. The vampire rounded a corner and came up against a tall wire fence.
'Shit' He snarled and turned around coming face to face with Buffy. The vampire turned into an alleyway and tried to climb up the fence.
'Bad idea' Buffy said and with a ferocious growl she yanked the thing off the fence and threw it to the ground. The vampire rolled and stopped a few feet away. Buffy leapt on top of it and pummelled. It pushed her off. She did a back flip and landed in standing position. The vampire stood and kicked her. She swiftly blocked the kick and punched the vampire in the face. Its head snapped back, before it could gather its bearings she kneed it in the stomach and staked it. Her face was expressionless and marched through the falling dust and out into the main street. Footsteps echoed in the distance and Buffy could see the figures of Willow and Xander running up to meet her. Buffy stood and waited.
'Is it dead?' puffed Willow
'Yeah' replied Buffy still emotionless. 'You okay Xander?'
'Oh yeah, apart from the bruised ribs and arms and legs and chest and head, I'm fine' Xander smirked.
'That's good' Buffy said, clearly not listening.
'You okay Buffy?' Willow put a tentative hand on her friends shoulder. She shook it off.
'I'm just thinking about Angel' Willow and Xander looked at each other.
'Maybe you shouldn't do that so much Buffy.' Willow said. 'Tell you what. Why don't you come to The Bronze, with us tomorrow night? It's fancy dress night, it'll be fun'
'Fun' Buffy repeated 'Yeah, I could do with some fun.' She smiled at her friends, they grinned back at her.

'Couldn't you be nice to me, just once' Xander complained, walking along the school hallway. Cordelia shot him a withering look.
'Why, when I can just be mean.' She replied, stopping abruptly and flinging open her locker. Xander had to duck to avoid being hit by it. She threw her books in and slammed the door.
'You want me to be nice to you after you blew off our date to go slay vampires when the vampire slayer is perfectly capable of doing it herself. Screw you Xander' Cordelia stormed off. Xander ran after her and cut in front, stopping her from walking.
'Okay, I can see why you're mad.' Xander said reasonably. Cordelia folded her arms and narrowed her eyes at him. 'I am so sorry. I'll make up to you. How about we go see a movie tonight? I'll even buy the popcorn' Cordelia smiled. Xander suddenly smacked his head in frustration 'Dammit no, not tonight, I promised Buffy we'd go to The Bronze.' Cordelia's smile faded and she looked angry again.
'Move' she yelled as she violently pushed Xander out of her way and disappeared down the hall.
'Problems?' Xander turned. Buffy, Willow and Oz stood behind him.
'Nope, just the usual. I'll make it up to her in the broom cupboard later' Xander replied. Buffy raised an eyebrow.
'We have Math' she said with a laugh.
'I've gotta go too' Oz piped up and gave Willow a quick kiss on the cheek before striding away. Willow smiled in spite of herself.
'Isn't he great?' she said.
'He's a party' Xander replied. Willow made a face. Giles came walking by.
'Buffy are you free?' He asked, clearly agitated.
'I can be' she said.
'There's been a murder' Giles whispered 'They found the body behind the gym' Buffy looked at Willow and Xander.
'We'll tell Mrs Pendleman you're sick' said Willow
'Thanks you guys' replied Buffy, before turning and walking away with Giles.
