----------- --- Chapter One: Marathon

"Tired yet?" Andie glanced over at April, who was staring intently at the television.

"Nope. You?"

"Not really." It was a little after two in the morning. They were lying on their stomachs on the floor of April's living room, pillows stuffed under their chins to avoid uncomfortableness.

"You're just. . . convenient," Buffy hissed at Spike.

April and Andie simultaneously grabbed handfuls of microwaved popcorn and heaved them at the television screen.

"What's wrong with her?" Andie yelled angrily.

"I know! Somebody needs to slap some sense into the bitch. I mean, you don't just say that to Spike! Why would anyone ever want to use Spike? He's so gorgeous." Andie chuckled softly.

"It's really kind of pathetic that we still get mad at her even though we knew she would say that. She's been saying every Saturday since I got the damn DVDs, April. I don't even know why we watch this episode any more. We've seen it, like, sixty zillion times."

"I know," April whined. "But look at him. He's so sad."

"Poor guy. She's so mean to him. Sometimes I just wanna sock her right in the--"

"Gut?" April supplied helpfully. Andie shrugged.

"So what episode do you wanna watch next?"

"What's on the list?" Andie picked up a notepad and read aloud the various titles on the list of episodes they had to watch before Andie went home.

"Okay. We got 'Bad Girls,' 'Graduation Day Parts One and Two,' 'I Only Have Eyes for You,' 'Innocence,' 'Once More With Feeling,' 'I Was Made to Love You,' 'Fool For Love,' 'Something Blue,' and 'Restless.'"

"Ooo 'Something Blue,'" Andie grinned.

"I so totally agree. Excellent choice, my friend." Andie pulled the fourth season Buffy DVDs out of the stack that threatened to topple at the slightest touch and carefully removed the sixth season DVD, placing it back in the correct box before putting the new set of episodes into the player.

Creepy music filled the air and April selected the episode. The teaser began rolling and the friends quieted as Willow's sad face filled the screen. The witch gazed longingly down at Oz's forgotten t-shirt and the scene cut to Riley hanging up a 'Lesbian Alliance' poster at UC Sunnydale.

"Why do we even like these people? I mean, we talk about them like they're real. It's really lame," Andie observed.

"I know. We're freaks," April agreed. She paused. "Riley's a poof. Joss should've made Buffy kill him."

"Now, April, we've talked about this. Bottle the rage. She gets with Spike later on."

"I know but I just wanna." April made a violent gesture with her hands at Riley and Andie laughed. "He's so stupid. He's a hick."

"Again with the name calling. You hate every guy on this show that isn't named Spike."

"That's not true. Giles is cool." Andie rolled her eyes.

"He's not even on the show any more. He occasionally guest stars."

"I know, but Tony Head is such a contrast to his character. It's great." The camera focused on Anthony Stewart Head's top half and Andie pointed at the screen.

"I bet he's not wearing any pants right there."

"I'd like to shower sometime today. Alone."

The girls giggled at the visual of Giles standing on top of Spike while water was pouring over them both, Spike tied up, trying his hardest to bite Giles, that floated through their minds at Tony Head's line. For the most part of the episode, they remained quiet so they could hear the witty dialogue that had been written by Joss Whedon or one of his cronies. Except for their favourite scene, when they had to recite a line with Spike.

"Pouty. Look at that lip. Gunna get it."

And then the teenagers burst into gales of laughter.

After that episode, they stuck in the sixth season DVD again and started to watch 'Once More With Feeling' so that they could get halfway through their list and finish the rest in the morning. It was almost 3:30.

The broadway episode had just concluded and the girls were shutting down the video system when Andie felt a sharp tug on her left side. She peered, confused, down at her hand and gasped when her arm was pulled through the television screen. Her and April tumbled helplessly into the television.
