Family
Somehow, the world seemed a little brighter, for Buffy, these days. For once being a slayer wasn't so bad, somehow she felt almost normal. She had Angel, she had her friends, the demons that came hardly lasted more than a week, but even fighting demons wasn't so bad. She could go out, smile, and not be faking it. She was happy.
"Pass the cereal" Willow said to Xander over the table. "Which one?" he asked looking at the various ones. "The normal one" she replied. Xander grinned and passed it over. "Buffy" Xander said making Buffy turn around "were running out of milk again." Buffy laughed, "Again? I'll go get more today; we must have evil milk stealing demons." Spike smiled "you know, the milk stealing demons aren't that evil," everyone looked at him confused. "Unless they don't get there milk then they get very feisty" Angel added. "Ok you are kidding right," Buffy said. Angel and Spike looked at each other before grinning, nodding and saying "maybe a little" Buffy rolled her eyes and said "it's hard to tell with you two."
Layla sat on the sofa scribbling stuff down in her notebook. "so what you doin'?" Angel asked coming into the room. "Using the position of the moon to calculate if the golang tribe is going to get here on the eighth or the twenty seventh and factoring in the position of the stars to find out whether there coming at all" Angel nodded "ok then, good for you" he said sarcastically. "Just kidding, I'm drawing cartoon panda bears" she told him turning round the note book. "I like the one standing on his head" Spike said standing in the door way before coming in and sitting down. "That one's eating broccoli, do they eat broccoli?" Buffy asked following Spike. "Ummm, they do now" Layla replied smiling. "The one riding a bike is cute, even though it would never happen" Willow said sitting down. "Hmmm personally I think pandas are just freaky" everyone looked at Xander confused. "Don't hurt the panda's feelings" Layla said glaring at him, before bursting out laughing. "Oh look that one's a vampire" Angel said smiling. "Yes, it is, it looks like you" Layla said smiling. "I'm a vampire panda?" Angel asked. Layla nodded "you are now."
"So other than the milk stealers we got any demons around?" Buffy asked. "Not sure, but hey if I come across one I'll call you, or you know, kill it myself" Layla replied going back to franticly drawing cartoon panda bears. "Being back on a hell mouth though, we will probably get a big bad soon" Xander said. "So what you think it will be? Hell god tearing down the walls to dimensions, Frankenstein robot thing building an army, the mayor?" Willow asked smiling. "Twenty bucks on an army of demons, because you know, we don't get enough of them" Xander said. Angel shook his head "no I'm betting Layla's vampire panda is somehow going to come alive and try to kill us all." Buffy laughed. "We have weird conversations has anyone else realized that" Layla said looking up from her book. Everyone else frowned then nodded "and weird bets" Spike added.
They might have weird conversations, milk stealing demons, bets about what's next to try to destroy the world but in the end they were a family. Granted they were a really odd family with three members that got burned in the sun, one slayer, one witch, and then there's Xander, but still a family. Things were finally looking up, they should know it won't last long though, after all this is Sunnydale.
…
I know it's a little short but I wanted to get it up as soon as possible. This is the sequel to the hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Yes I called this one the hardest thing in this world is to live in it 2 because I am really unimaginative and couldn't think of a better name. So as always please review.
