CLEM: THE ADVENTURES OF CLEM
Follows Clem's life after Sunnydale is destroyed
Author's note: this is just what I thought Clem, the living legend, would be like, also this Clem before the whole comic thing with Harmony on the MTV show "Harmony bites"

Chapter 1
Clem was not like most demons, he was not "evil", he did not crave the end of humanity; he was especially ticked off when he had to leave Sunnydale, a crypt with cable and a local demon bar where he could gamble for Kittens, all because of some evil thing that was planning to raise the hell mouth. While usually he had faith in the local Slayer and co, he did not quite fancy being there to see the show.
The most evil thing he had ever done was cheat at poker by hiding cards in skin flaps to earn himself an extra Kitten, and he still confessed after. Yep, Clem the friendly demon. So as he hid in the first Motel room he could break into out of Sunnydale, in fact he should probably put that on the whole "evil list", he wondered if he would ever be able to return to his home, MTV and of course his Kittens, although some times they don't quite agree with one of his three stomach's.
Thinking about this he began to feel depressed. A man walked past Clem's knocked down door, before literally doing a double take. It took Clem a moment to notice the stunned man. He merely looked round and raised his beer (also stolen from the mini fridge to go on the "evil list") and said "hey."
The man continued to stare, to the point where Clem began to think it was rude, until he inevitably fainted. Clem put his beer down and walked over to the man. "Why do they always start with the fainting?" he muttered to himself before checking the man for any visible injuries, locating his room key and returning him to said room.
Clem began to feel sad for himself totally unaccepted by everyone; he was not evil enough for demons yet he was a thing of disgust to humans. He wondered to himself if he could get some kind of cosmetic surgery, but he soon dismissed the idea on the thought due to the cost. So he was stuck this way forever. Not too bad, at least he's not a Chaos Demon!
After returning the unconscious man to his room, he began to feel that he was not welcome at the "Sun Shine Motel!", not that he had technically been a resident there anyway. So he got in his VW Beetle thinking where to go next.

It was 3 am so Clem was not concerned about the speed limits. As he drove at 80 mph he decided, or the alcohol decided, to stick his head out of the window and let his "skin condition" flap freely in the wind. He did not know where he was going, just that it needed to be away from the Hellmouth, in an ironic way.
He wondered if that nice woman he met at Anyanka's wedding would take him in, what was her name? Not that he would be welcome on the grounds of the giant fight between the humans and the demons at the wedding. Well they thought we were in the circus!
He needed somewhere homely. Most demons don't really give off that kind of atmosphere, with the whole evil thing. His kind where supposed to live it rough but those ways got lost round about the same time TV started. As he sped down the dark empty road, he nearly passed the giant cemetery, hey it may not be the "Sun Shine Motel!" but he can stay there for at least tonight.
He parked up the beetle, grabbed his case, long brown overcoat and matching hat; and made way to the most 'homely' looking crypt he could find. Failing that he settled for the first one he could find. He knocked on the door whilst opening it slowly, wary for any unwanted blood thirsty annoyances. "Hello, any one home? Don't mind me just a friendly demon looking for somewhere to rest his head", after a quick scan he guessed no one was here, living or dead. So Clem tried to find the least moist spot to spend the night.

Michelle was an average student, with a loving family and a good amount of friends. Life was good. Then why was she downing another drink to impress the two older boys, she and her friend had some how met. 'Yep Life was good' she thought in an unsure way. Bobby (the boy she was assigned) had a car. Wow impressive. So obviously they where obliged to drive around in boring places no sober person would want to go to. They started off in a field, then a park and now they were on their way to a cemetery. She was trying to make it obvious to them they weren't getting any. Annoyingly Bobby noticed.
"You ok" he said in a way that it was obvious that he didn't care.
" Yeah its just …" She paused wondering whether or not to tell him what she was thinking; I'm bored, cold and the smell of beer in your breath makes me want to gag not get closer! Like any sane person she lied. "…I'm just scared, you know dark cemetery and stuff…" She had just set him up.
"ahh its ok, I'm here to protect you." Great. She tried to give a reassuring look, hoping that he would stop staring at her. She looked over to her friend who had set her up on this romantic get away. They caught eyes. She hoped that Mellissa was feeling the same way. Mellissa then turned and got a face full of…well face. Yep she was a bit of a slut. As they got closer to the gate, to Michelle's displeasure she saw the gate had been knocked down, which blew away here previous theory that it would be locked. "Guess this place is popular…" she muttered to herself.
As the foursome walked in, Mellissa's new friend… Michelle was not sure of his name she thought he was called 'Brick' suddenly got excited. "Hey Bobby, why don't we show the girls our surprise in there." He pointed to a stone castle thingy. For the life of her Michelle could not remember what they were called. While she thought about that she missed the implications on the word 'surprise'. This obviously meant she had to do some kind of 'involvement'. She had to come up with a plan. She went with the scared angle. "Erm… Bobby I really don't wanna go in there I'm scared" she said as she put on he best puppy dog face.
"Ahh don't worry you wont be scared for much longer." He gripped her arm to bring her in. His grip was tight. Really tight. Much tighter than she could bare. She shouted out "Hey get off me you freak!" his grip loosened as she pulled away. Mellissa and Brick came to see the commotion. Bobby didn't look happy.
"What?" he asked like he had done nothing. "Stop whining and get in there!" Mellissa was suddenly at her side now. Wow she's quick to come back to best friend status. "She said she didn't wanna go in there!" Mellissa grabbed Michelle by the arm
"Come on, lets get out of here" she said to her friend before turning into Brick.
"Move Rick!" – Rick! She suddenly thought, she was only one letter off.
"Now ladies, maybe you don't understand how this is going to work, see me and Bobby here, we didn't drive all this way for nothing." He began to walk forward making them back up. Bobby was now joining his friend. "Yeah like Rick said we want a bit more than this…"
On that Bobby's face morphed into this hideous thing, all lumpy. A monster. She looked at Rick, his face the same. Then she fell.
Author's Note: Also if there is a Sun Shine Motel. I don't own that either. Hope I got the transformation of vamps correct. Will post Chapter 2 later.
