I own nothing but the idea, I'm just burrowing the characters
A/N: This is my first every Buffy Fic and it's been floating around in my head off and on for like 3 years so most of it's written already. It is a Fuffy and Spashley fic, so if the idea of F/F relationships bothers you stop right here. For everyone else enjoy. I'm a little hungry so don't forget to feed me. All authors need a little feedback. Alright enough of my babbling. Enjoy
Prologue:
It was a Friday night in Three Rivers and their was absolutely nothing to do in town…apart from the High School football game. However, the tight group of friends wanted nothing to do with it. They were affectionately known as the Golden Girls around town, ever since the year before when they had decided to dress up for Halloween as just that and it was a huge hit. The foursome was currently sitting in the living room of the eldest, Sam's house. Girl's night in was definitely better than sitting in the stands with a bunch of drunken high school boys trying to cop a feel.
"Best idea ever…" The natural blonde-haired woman said popping a piece of still warm popcorn in her mouth.
"It's the best idea you've had in…. wait, you've never had a good idea, Sam." receiving a playful tap on the arm. "And what color exactly is you hair supposed to be this week?"
Alex said plopping down on the couch next to her friend Bella.
"Umm I'm think it's supposed to be…" Bella said looking at her friend's hair trying to figure it out. "Well I see green…and umm red…"
"Don't forget yellow." The brunette piped in.
"Sweetie, that's her natural hair color." She smirked at her.
"Very funny, guys." The other girl rolled her eyes. "If I didn't love you guys, I'd kick you out of my house." Sam leaned forward and took a drink of her soda that sat on the coffee table.
"Like you could." Alex said throwing her arm around Bella and lightly pushing Sam on the head. Leaving her hand there, she subtlety squeezed the girl's shoulder as she was sitting next to her. Over the last few months, the two, unbeknownst to the others in the group, had gotten very close.
"Girls no fighting." squeezing the hand on her shoulder in return. "What the hell is taking Spence so long?"
"Probably having phone sex with Carmen." the taller girl replied.
"Yeah." Sam chuckled nervously and shifted in her seat. "Let me go see what's going on." Standing, the natural blonde made her way to the kitchen.
"You know I really want to kiss you." Bella whispered making sure their friend was completely out of the room.
"What's stopping you?" The taller girl said gently turning her head to face her.
"Nothing." She replied breathlessly and crashed her lips into hers. Turning her body so it was fully facing her friend, Bella ran her hands through her friend's hair pulling her closer to her. The moment was over before it started when noise coming from the door startled them both, causing them to jump apart.
"I got it." Sam called from the kitchen. "What's up with you two?" The multi-color haired girl asked as she entered the room. "You're all twitchy." she quipped.
"We're not…I'm not…We're just…what are you trying to say?" Alex rambled.
"Chill Al." Bella calmly replied placing a hand on her knee.
"You're such a spaz sometimes." She chuckled as she rolled her eyes. "Foods here." She smiled as she looked through the peep hole.
"Why is Al a spaz this time?" Spencer asked laughing slightly as she finally joined the group.
"When isn't she?" Sam asked as she paid the delivery boy.
"Screw you, Sam." Alex said letting her temper show itself.
"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" the older girl said as she shut the door and walked over the group placing the food on the table. Even before it was known around town that the foursome was gay, everyone thought they were all together anyway, which is why they had been surprised when someone outside the group had caught the eye of the youngest Spencer. Carmen was her name and they had been together for about a year.
"Ladies, let's not have a pissing match please." Looking at both of them for added measure, giving Alex's knee another gently squeeze showing she was on her side in the matter. "Let's eat, I'm starved."
"Do you have a bottomless pit for a stomach?" Alex chimed in poking the girl in the stomach.
"She must have she just ate two burgers earlier." Spencer laughed at her brunette best friend.
"No fair I tell you." Sam said picking up her box of Chinese food. "Bottomless pit…and no exercise to show for it…And I have to work out five days a week just to fit into my swimsuit for swim team."
"But you look damn good in it." Alex quipped nodding her head at the thought.
"Perv." The other girls said in unison as they all threw pillows at her.
"It's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it." She smirked.
Groaning, the other girls picked up their food and they all began to eat in a comfortable silence. This had been their routine for years, spending the night over at each other's houses, when there was nothing better to do they could always find fun with each other.
"Alright." Alex said as they slowly finished eating. "I'm stuffed." She sighed, rubbing her stomach.
"I think I ate too much." Spencer said throwing her head back.
"I couldn't eat another bite." Sam replied. After a moment they all turned to look at Bella who seemed to have not gotten her fill. "Uhu mhmm." Clearing her throat. "Bells sweetie."
"Uh…huh?" Bella looked up from her box.
"Cute." Alex smiled pulling the loose noodle from her friends chin and popping it in her mouth.
"Oh…sorry." the girl slightly blushed, putting her box down. "Guess I went a little crazy there."
"It's ok 'We all go a little crazy sometimes.'" The taller girl replied quoting her favorite horror movie.
"Spaz." Bella rolled her eyes.
"I'll show you spaz." The girl grinned as she began to tickle the younger girl seemingly forgetting that they weren't the only two in the room.
Looking at them in disbelief, the other girls turned towards each other and mouthed "What the hell?". Horse play wasn't unusual but what they saw before them was borderline foreplay.
"Umm, you guys want to get a room?" Spencer asked.
"Yeah, Bobby's over at Greg's tonight I'm sure that he won't mind you two getting it on in his room." Sam smirked raising her eyebrow at the two.
"Huh what?" Bella gently pushing Alex off of her.
"Sam was saying how if you want to get it on in her brother's room, it is free." Spencer replied chuckling.
"Whatever guys." Alex said rolling her eyes and brushing their remarks off. They were right, but they didn't want them to know just yet…they didn't want to ruin things. "Are we gonna watch the movie or what?"
"Please tell me it's not Horror. You guys know how I hate Horror." Spencer said as she looked around.
"Don't worry, we'll protect you." Sam replied as she popped Resident Evil: Extinction into her Blu-ray player and grabbing her hand as Sam made her way back over to the couch.
"You guys better cause if I have nightmares you're all getting a 3am call." Spencer whined as they all settled in to watch the movie.
The Edge Of Sunnydale, California
Sitting on the edge of the canyon, the dark Slayer picked up a rock and tossed it inside. She had been sitting there for a while. "Hey B." the dark Slayer said calmly, not having to look back to know who was standing behind her.
"How'd you know it was me?" She asked, looking down puzzled at the other slayer.
"You know, slayer connection and all." the brunette Slayer smirked unmoving from the edge of the pit.
"It could have been one of the newbie's." the blonde replied.
"Nah." the dark Slayer shrugged. "I always can tell it's you, B." throwing another rock into the pit. "My Slayer senses go crazy when you're around."
"I don't know if I should be flattered or disturbed by that." The blonde Slayer chuckled slightly.
"It's all good, B." the brunette moved her head side to side, cracking her neck.
"Thanks." Buffy said lower.
"What for?" The dark Slayer asked finally looking back.
"You know saving me back there…that vamp had me down and you took lead without a second thought."
"No sweat, B…that's what partners do, right?"
"Can't you just accept a thank you like a normal person?" the blonde asked frustrated. Her dark counterpart always knew how to push her buttons.
"Never been one for normal." the dark Slayer shrugged. "Always about the down and dirty of it all." For a moment they were quiet, just being. "Those Uber Vamps were wicked bad ass. I could totally go for just a regular vamp you know?"
Buffy nodded. She and Faith were still in an awkward stage; they weren't exactly friends but not entirely enemies anymore. They'd saved the world together. That had to count for something right? "You're gonna take off?" Buffy crossed her arms over her chest as she stood behind her. It wasn't really a question, more of a statement.
"I've got no reason to stay." the other Slayer replied as she popped her knuckles. "Apocalypse averted, it seems my job is done." standing. "I can…" she stopped when she noticed the other girl's face. "What, B.? You can hardly stand me…what do you want me around for?"
"Well… when you weren't all psycho girl you were… fun to be around."
"You can tell what fun is, being wound up so tight?" she smirked.
"I'm not wound tight…" she quipped. "Well, not anymore."
"Whatever, B." Faith ran her hand through her hair. "What is it that you really want…it's not like you need me around anymore. You got plenty of newbie Slayers just ready to…uh." She said with a grunt.
"We've really gotta talk about you and grunting." She shook her head. "Not attractive at all."
"You'd be surprised." The dark Slayer smirked.
"Ok…Eww!" The older Slayer thought aloud. Shaking her head of the unwanted visual, Buffy managed to regain her composure. "Where will you go?" she was trying to steer the topic in another direction.
"I don't know, B…wherever the wind takes me." She chuckled slightly. "Don't worry, if I get bored I'll come find you guys….I'm sure you will be loads of fun." Faith paused and looked across the horizon. "Now I think it's time for a little Grand Theft Auto." She grinned as she touched the other girl's shoulder before walking away.
"Be careful, Faith." the blonde said sincerely.
"You know me, B…" she turned around and walked backwards, her eyes locked with the blonde's "I'm always-"
"Five-by-Five." the blonde Slayer finished nodding.
"Laters." The brunette replied dimples on full display as she walked off into the sunset.
"Where's Faith going?" The Slayer's best friend asked as he walked up to her.
"Don't know, Xand." Buffy shrugged
"She's not going all psycho girl on us is she?"
"Don't think so…not this time. I think she's back to being normal Faith…before she tried to kill us…" the blonde Slayer said matter-of-factly.
"That's a relief." the boy said nodding like it wasn't a big deal. "So anyway…Wills and Kennedy went to get some food and supplies."
"So we're roughing it?"
"If by roughing it you mean the Buffster has to sleep in a tent on the ground then…yes, we're roughing it." he chuckled lightly to himself.
"Xander…" She whined. "I don't do sleeping outside well."
"I know…but we have to wait for Giles to get money from the Council…what's left of it." He pulled the blonde into his arms. "It's gonna cost way too much to put us and all these girls up in a hotel. We're gonna need something more permanent." Feeling her nod, he
continued. "It'll probably be only for a night or two…But we did it, Buff."
"Yeah, we did." She smiled. "Angel said nothing made it out of Sunnydale…well beside us, of course."
"The job of the Slayer and her gang is never done…I'm sure there's trouble out there somewhere." The one eyed man stared in space.
"Don't say that…it's way to soon to be talking about trouble." Looking at her friend she said, "It's totally your fault if trouble shows it's ugly head."
"Right, no talk of trouble." he nodded. "We should get back…Willow's probably back by now. Even if she's not, it's probably not a good idea to leave the girls alone."
"No…we wouldn't want that." the blonde Slayer sighed with just a hint of sarcasm in her voice.
"I'm just saying, Dawnie wouldn't appreciate it if we left her with a bunch of raging hormonal teenage girls."
"Keyword you're missing Xand. Underaged. So hands off."
"But…but."
"But nothing. Nobody's going to jail under my watch." she nodded with conviction. "Let's go." The blonde slayer pulled him back towards their make shift camp.
