Buffy get up," Faith said to her twin sister Elizabeth.
"Hmm" Buffy said and turned away from Faith.
"Elizabeth Anne Summers, we're going to be late again. Get your ass out of bed" the sixteen-year-old brunette said as she put her hands on her hips.
"I'm up" Buffy said, turning to face Faith again.
"So, have fun last night?" Faith smiled as Buffy went over to her closet and got out a cute, but hot outfit to wear. a dark red leather skirt and a black spaghetti strapped tank top with her red leather jacket to match the skirt.
"Yeah… you know, same old same old" Buffy said.
"Right" Faith said still smiling. She also went to her closet and got out an outfit. A pair of black leather pants and a red halter-top to match. "I saw you and Riley all hot last night. Well, you were anyway, what's his deal?"
"Riley's…" Buffy said trying to put a label on her boyfriend.
"Boring?" Faith asked.
"No, he's just not into…"
"Having fun?" Faith offered again.
"Okay, we're done talking about Buffy. How was your night?" Buffy asked. Buffy and Faith were juniors in high school and pretty much ran it. Buffy's boyfriend, Riley was the exact opposite of Buffy. He was good and wholesome and Buffy was. . .well let's just say she didn't get kicked out her old school in L.A. for talking in class.
"Fine" Faith said. Both girls finished getting dressed and walked downstairs to find their mother and younger sister, Dawn sitting at the island in the kitchen eating breakfast.
"Hey, girls, sleep well?" Joyce asked her twin daughters.
"Sure" Buffy said. The girls sat with their mom and Dawn and ate. Afterward they got ready to go.
"My turn to drive, B" Faith said and ran to the car their mother and father bought them. It was a 1998 convertible, which was red.
"No" Buffy said and rushed after her.
"Yes, it is! You drove to The Bronze last night, it's my turn" Faith said.
"Fine" Buffy said and handed over the keys. They always fought over who got to drive, which was pretty much the only thing they fought about.
"Come on, brat, let's go" Faith said to Dawn.
"Don't call me that" Dawn said and got into the back of the car. Dawn was ten and in fifth grade.
"Okay, girls, have a good day, and—" Joyce began, but all three of her daughters cut her off.
"Drive safe" the girls said in unison.
"Yes" Joyce said.
"Will do, mom" Faith said and she drove away. They dropped Dawn off at her school and then preceded to their own. Once there, they parked the car and went inside to find their friends.
"Yo" Faith said as they reached Willow, Cordelia, Xander, Tara, Oz and Riley.
"Hey" Willow greeted them with a smile.
"Hi, Buffy" Riley said.
"Hey" Buffy smiled and kissed him. Faith rolled her eyes at them. Riley was always so quiet and, as Faith put it (to herself), lame.
"You guys, Bronze tonight?" Xander said.
"Ooh, yeah, cause that's what we do every day what ends in 'y'" Tara joked.
"Of course we're Bronzing tonight" Faith said. "I'm gonna look hot."
"You always do" Buffy said, Faith smiled at her.
"You know, it's weird. You guys are twins, but you don't look any alike. I mean, Buffy has blonde hair, Faith has brown, Buffy's eyes are green, Faith's are brown, Buffy's 5' 3'' and Faith's 5'5''. The only thing you two have in common is that you're both badasses" Willow said.
"Well, I look like mom, and Faith looks like dad" Buffy told her.
"Who do you think Dawn looks like?" Faith asked.
"Um… I think she looks more like dad" Buffy said, suddenly the bell rang.
"Come on, we have to go to class" Faith said and took Xander and Willow's hands and led them away.
"We should go too" Cordelia said and she left with Tara and Oz. Buffy and Riley were left alone.
"Shouldn't you be in class too?" Riley asked. He was a senior and he had a free period.
"I should be" Buffy said and put her arms around his neck and kissed him. "Doesn't mean I'm going to follow the rules." She kissed him again.
"Maybe you should go" he said. She frowned and then kissed him again.
"Fine" she pouted and left.
"Dad I don't see why we have to move to this soddin' town" Spike complained to his father.
"William, I told you, it's going to be good for you to be in America. After the divorce, your mother and I decided it'd be best for you to get away from all the negative things in your life" Rupert Giles said to his son.
"Dad, for one, stop calling me William, I go by Spike, and two, do you blame me for the divorce?" Spike asked.
"Of course not, and I will not call you 'Spike'. You'll just have to deal with me calling you the name your mother and I gave you" Giles said.
"Fine, you'll have to deal with the fact that I hate coming here" Spike said as his father pulled up to the school.
"All right, have a good day, and don't get in trouble like in England, please" Giles said.
"Yeah, yeah" Spike said and got out of the car and walked into the school. He looked around and scoffed. This place was nothing like his school in England and he hated it already. He found the attendance office quickly, only because it was the first office past the entrance, and walked in.
"Can I help you?" the secretary asked.
"Yeah, Spi—I mean, William Giles" Spike said, rolling his eyes at his real name.
"Okay, one moment" she said and printed out Spike's schedule. "Here you are."
"Thanks" Spike said.
"Just sign in" she said and Spike did so. "Your first class is room 103. Downstairs and it's just past the steps."
"Okay, got it" Spike said and found his first class, thankfully without much trouble. "Hi, I'm William, this is supposed to be my class" Spike told the teacher.
"Oh, yes of course, hello" the teacher said.
"Hey" he said.
"Okay, William—" she began.
"Uh, call me Spike, please" Spike told her.
"Fine, Spike. Let me get your card" the teacher said and Spike followed her to her desk.
"Oh, my, god" another one of Buffy's friends, Hannah said, looking at Spike.
"What?" Buffy asked.
"Look at that guy" Hannah said. Buffy looked over to Spike and just stared at him. She had never seen anyone quite like him before. He was so hot, with bleached blonde hair and dressed in all black.
"Ooh, de-lish" Hannah smiled.
"Yeah" Buffy said, unemotional.
"You don't think so?" Hannah asked.
"He's. . .mannish" Buffy said.
"Oh please, mannish? Come on, Buffy, a girl like you. You'd have to be dying to nail a guy like that" Hannah said.
"Okay, one, what do you mean a girl like me? And two, I'm not a slut, I don't sleep around" Buffy said defensively.
"Okay, sorry" Hannah said, giving up.
"Spike you can take a seat next to Buffy, Buffy raise your hand" the teacher said. Buffy's heart jumped a little, but she didn't know why. She slowly raised her hand and he came over and sat next to her.
"All right, I'll be back in a minute" the teacher said and left the room.
"Hey" Spike said to Buffy.
"Hi" Buffy said back.
"I'm Spike" he told her and she raised an eyebrow at him.
"Really?"
He chuckled. "Real name's William, but everyone calls me Spike."
"Sounds like there's a story behind that nickname" she told him with a small smile. He smiled back at her.
"Sorta" he said. "And you are?"
"Elizabeth, but everyone calls me Buffy" she told him as she stuck out her hand. He took it in his and kissed it.
"Nice to meet ya, luv" he told her and she blushed a little, which she never did. "So, I don't really… know my way around this dreadful place. Do you think you could show me around? Or do you know anyone who could?" Spike asked.
"I could do it. You could hang out with me and my sister and friends" Buffy said, thinking she sounded a little too eager.
"Sure" Spike said.
Soon the class was over and Buffy and Spike walked to the cafeteria to meet her friends and sister.
"Hey" Buffy said to Faith.
"Hey, B, who's your friend?" Faith asked, noticing Spike.
"Oh, this is Spike, Spike this is my twin sister, Faith" Buffy introduced them.
"Twin? You two don't look alike" Spike said.
"Fraternal" Buffy told him and he nodded.
"Oh, here comes the rest of the gang" Faith said. "Hey guys."
"Hey" Cordelia smiled. "Who's the hottie?" she whispered to Faith as Buffy talked to Spike.
"His name is Spike; I don't know anything else" Faith whispered back. "So, we still Bronzing tonight, B?"
"Hell yeah" Buffy said, turning her attention to the whole gang.
"Uh, what that?" Spike asked.
"Oh, The Bronze is the club we hang out at" Buffy told him.
"Cool?" Spike asked.
"Very" Buffy said.
"I'll be the judge of that" Spike smirked. Suddenly, Riley came up.
"Hey" he said.
"Hi, Riley" Buffy said and kissed him. "Uh Ri, this is Spike. Spike, this is my boyfriend, Riley." Spike felt a little disappointed that his hot new friend had a boyfriend, but didn't let it show.
"Hey, nice to meet you" Riley said, a cheesy grin on his face as he stuck out his hand to Spike. Spike shook it quickly.
"Yeah, hey, mate" Spike said arrogantly. Buffy took Riley's hand.
"Come on, let's go. Spike, we'll see you tonight at The Bronze?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah" Spike said.
"Come on, Ri, let's go" Buffy said and pulled him away.
The end of the day came and it was soon eight o'clock. Eight o'clock on a Friday night only meant one thing to Buffy, Faith and their friends.
"Bronzing with the links, man this is the best thing to do" Faith said as she came out of the bathroom. She had just taken a shower.
"Yeah, but then again it's the only thing to do" Buffy said, getting out the outfit she intended to wear.
"Hey, what's up?" Faith asked.
"Nothing" Buffy said.
"B, I'm your sister, your twin sister, and I know you better than anyone. So, what's up?" Faith prodded.
"Nothing, it's really nothing… it's just… Riley, he… he doesn't want to…" Buffy said.
"What do you mean?" Faith asked, putting on her red leather pants.
"I've been… ready for a while now. I've told him, and he… he just won't" Buffy said.
"You mean you haven't…?" Faith asked.
"No!" Buffy said.
"Right, so why do you think he's going all virgin Mary on you?" Faith asked.
"I don't know, maybe I'm just not… good enough for him " Buffy said.
"Oh please, B. Come on, he's… maybe he's scared" Faith offered.
"Of what?" Buffy asked.
"I don't know, try talking to him about it. I mean, maybe he just wants to wait for marriage or somethin" Faith said.
"I don't think it's that. I mean, if it was I wouldn't be wigging like this. H—he… just seemed like he wasn't interested. Like I was too bad for him or something. I mean, I love Riley and I just… I don't know" Buffy finally gave up on the subject.
"Okay, B, some sisterly advice: find a new guy. Like Spike for instance" Faith said, smirking when she saw her sister's eyes widen slightly.
"W—why would I want Spike?" Buffy asked and turned around. "Tie this." Faith went over to her and tied the black leather halter-top she was wearing. If there was one thing these sisters were known for, it was wearing leather—lots and lots of leather.
"Because I can tell you're hot for him, there" Faith said and finished tying the shirt.
"Thanks, and I'm not hot for him okay. I love Riley" Buffy told her and Faith rolled her eyes.
"Sweetie, it's not about love, okay. It's about seduction, and you could use some of that right about now" Faith said. Buffy looked at Faith and then turned around and looked in the mirror at herself. She was wearing a black leather skirt that was about two and a half inches below the knee and cut triangularly at the bottom and a black halter-top that was only closed in the back by a tie. Faith was wearing a pair of red leather pants and a black see through top with a white tank top underneath.
"We look pretty hot, huh?" Buffy said.
"Pst yeah" Faith said, and her and Buffy laughed. They put on their boots, which surprise, were also leather, and got their purses and went downstairs.
"Bye, mom" Buffy called as they headed out the door.
"Yeah, be back at one" Faith said. On the weekends their curfew was one and on school nights it was ten.
"Okay, have fun" Joyce called back from the kitchen. "And—"
"Be careful" both Buffy and Faith said together.
"Exactly" Joyce said.
"Sure thing, see ya" Buffy said and they left.
Buffy and Faith arrived at the Bronze shortly after and found their friends.
"Hey" Buffy greeted them as they sat down.
"Hey, guys. Wow, you look amazing" Willow said.
"Thanks, Will, you too" Faith told her.
"Uh, where's—" Buffy began.
"Spike? He's over there" Faith smiled and pointed to the bleached blonde hottie talking to some people.
"Actually, I was gonna say Riley, but, maybe I should say hello. Tt would be polite; I mean we did invite him here" Buffy said.
"Mmm-hmm, go with that theory" Faith said. Buffy shoved Faith in the arm playfully before going over to where Spike stood.
"Hey" she said.
"Hey, this place is…" Spike said, searching for the right word.
"Hip?" Buffy asked.
"Predictable, typical American teenage hangout" Spike said.
"Well, buster, you're not living in Australia or wherever it is that you—" Buffy began.
"England" Spike confirmed.
"Fine, you're not living there anymore. You're living in America, with American teenagers, you're going to have to contend with our customs and things if you want to survive here" Buffy told him.
'Okay, fine. I believe that when music comes on you dance. Some things are the same wherever you are. Do you want to dance?" Spike asked as a slow song came on, Buffy's favorite.
"Uh… sure" Buffy said.
"Let's go then" he said and stuck out his hand and she took it and he led her to the middle of the dance floor. She was kind of uneasy dancing with him like this, partly because she didn't know him that well and partly because she was afraid Riley would be jealous. She stayed at a safe distance at first, but as they began to dance, she moved closer to him, really not noticing it. Before she knew it, she had her head on his shoulder and her eyes were closed. He held her close as they glided along the dance floor.
"Wow, look at them" Willow said as they stared at Buffy and Spike in awe.
"She never listens to me, I told her she had a thing for him" Faith said.
"Well, just because she's dancing with him doesn't necessarily mean that she—" Tara started.
"Yes it does" the rest of the gang said.
"Yes it does" Tara acknowledged. The song ended and Buffy looked into Spike's eyes. He did have beautiful eyes. Suddenly, she realized what she was doing and pulled away.
"I—I should look for Riley" she said and walked away. He smiled after her.
He decided. "She's going to be mine."
Buffy walked back over to the crowd waiting for her and receive many looks. "What?" she asked innocently.
"What do you mean 'what'? Come on, B, we all saw you out there with the leather clad hottie, dancing away" Faith said, making a swaying motion to indicate dancing. Buffy pushed her playfully.
"Stop that, it was nothing. He asked me to dance and I did, no big" Buffy said and walked away.
"Yeah, no big" Faith said, skeptically to the rest of the gang. She looked toward the direction Spike was. "Welcome to Sunnydale" she said.
