First, thanks everyone for the great reviews!
And thanks for the characters and other shows suggestions, but the problem is... How to put it... We're French (which can explain most of the grammar and vocabulary errors), and we don't get any of the shows you suggested on our channels... (we're not even supposed to have seen Buffy's 6th season...) We heard of them, and I even think Andromeda is programmed on a satellite channel, but none of us get the satellite channels... (sigh)
So unfortunately, Vaughn (from Alias), Tyr and Beka (from Andromeda) won't appear in this story...
But I hope you'll enjoy this chapter (and the next ones!) anyway!
To James (our Scottish reviewer): Glad you like the name! ;-)
Note: As she doesn't seem to appear in this story, let's just say Tara is on holiday...
Chapter 2
At the Magic Box, right after sundown.
When the doorbell rang, no one looked at Xander coming in. The whole Scooby Gang was talking about the Mr Potato mystery. Nevertheless, when he put the hot-chorizo-tomato-cheese pizza on the table he won a standing ovation.
WILLOW: Our savior!
XANDER: A Mr Potato mystery as I heard?
BUFFY: Don't tell me you've been visited by two FBI agents too?
XANDER: Well, I almost tried to kill them but… No, I'm joking…
ANYA (with a sigh): As always…
XANDER: They asked me about a Mr Potato collector. Has Spike done some illicit stuff again? We should tell him that Mr. Potato is not a contraband product.
GILES: Spike? Could it be him?
BUFFY : He can't hurt humans.
WILLOW: Yep. But what when he's just throwing something with a slingshot? It's not the same.
DAWN: I'm not sure for the slingshot.
BUFFY: Well, I don't know… Let's take a look on that. (to Xander) You brought some soda too?
XANDER: Of course I did, who do you think I am? I don't… (suddenly noticing) Hey, Giles, what happened to your eyes?
* * * * *
Somewhere in the cemetery during the night…
Spike and a demon were in the middle of a harsh fight, even if Spike was clearly winning. The Scooby Gang appeared as the demon was on the ground, about to be killed. But instead Spike put down his axe and sat down near him to give him a card.
SPIKE: Take this. Say you're coming from Spike and I'll let you live.
DEMON (reading the card): What are you talking about? I'm not going to see a surgeon! Did you have a look at my face? I already have old gashes everywhere!
Spike stood up and lifted the axe above the demons head.
SPIKE: As you wish…
When he was about to hit the demon, someone retained his arm. Spike saw Buffy next to him. The demon quickly took the business card and ran away. Spike sighed.
SPIKE: Hey pet… (taking a look at the Scoobies) Oh, you brought the kids, you didn't need to you know…
The gang circled him.
GILES: What have you done again?
XANDER: You're trying to make fortune in the toy contraband now?
SPIKE (smirking): What's up whelp? You want a dolly so you come to daddy Spike? (sarcastic) Whatever, you wouldn't be able to keep it very long anyway… (taking a look at Anya and smiling)
In a moment of rage, Xander took Spike by the collar and held him against a tree.
XANDER: Now that's enough! If you say one more thing I'll…
SPIKE: You'll what? Come on, I'm not afraid of you… I might not be able to hurt you but I can still…
BUFFY: Hey, break it you two! Xander, let him go, and Spike, no more comments!
Xander reluctantly released him. Spike kept on smiling but didn't say anything.
GILES: Let's get back to our concerns, shall we? Spike, do you have a Mr Potato collection, or do you know someone, vampire or demon, who might have one?
Spike stared at Giles for a moment in disbelief. Until he burst out laughing.
GILES: That's not funny.
SPIKE: Excuse me, but dealing toys isn't exactly being the Big Bad… Not very vampiric or demonic, if you ask me… By the way, I don't think I… (suddenly stopping) Is that the moonlight or do your eyes have a really strange color?
GILES (sighing heavily): Probably the moonlight.
SPIKE (teasingly): Oh, Rupert, that's so romantic…
XANDER (to Giles): I can stake him for you if you want.
BUFFY: Hey. We're not talking about toy dealing, but about murders. Three persons were found strangled with spare parts of Mr Potato and we almost got a fourth victim today.
SPIKE (picturing it and smiling): Could be fun…
BUFFY: So you don't have any idea who did this?
SPIKE: Nope.
XANDER: Ok, let's go, obviously bleached boy doesn't know anything!
WILLOW: We should go to Dawn's school, we might find something.
SPIKE (with concern): What, you mean the attempted murder happened at Dawn's school? Is the Lil' Bit ok?
BUFFY: She's all right, she's at home dreaming about some doctor…
GILES: Willow's right. We should investigate at Dawn's school. That's the place where we're the most likely to find something.
The whole Scooby Gang left and began to walk towards Dawn's school, while Spike stayed there.
Spike mentally counted how many people he gave the business cards to. He was far from reaching his quota, and he wasn't even sure those would go to the hospital… Rocket would be upset. And an upset Rocket meant no blood supply for poor little Spikey…
He decided to first take a little drink before continuing to look for victims – no, not victims, clients.
* * * * *
Meanwhile, on the beach…
A man was standing there, facing the sea. All he was wearing was red swimming shorts. Bare feet on the sand. He was just standing there, his hands on his hips, watching the waves as they broke on the shore. And he smiled.
And the moonlight made shine the fangs that began to show…

(completely pointless scene, I know...)
* * * * *
Spike froze when he saw a couple messing around his crypt.
According to the way they were dressed, they looked rather wealthy. But they were humans. Well at least he could still frighten them, the chip didn't prevent him from doing that. And frightened people usually ran. They could fall, and get wounded… And then he could give them those business cards and tell them to go to the hospital…
Spike shook his head. Must he be desperate to be reduced to do that… But getting human blood supplies from Rocket was better than having to drink pig blood… He grimaced at the idea. No. No more pig blood ever again.
He put on his vampire face and jumped behind them.
SPIKE (menacing): AAAARRRR!!!!
They turned round, and hardly raised an eyebrow when they saw him in his vampire face, all fangs out.
MULDER (imperturbable): Excuse me, William the Bloody?
SPIKE (puzzled): Huh?
They drew their badges again.
MULDER: Special agents Mulder and Scully, FBI. Mind if we ask you a few questions?
The FBI… What were they doing there? Spike put his human face back on. Taking that as a yes, the female agent asked:
SCULLY: Do you know Miss Buffy Summers?
SPIKE (smiling): Oh yes…
SCULLY: Would you describe her as a violent person?
SPIKE (smiling even more): Definitely yes…
SCULLY: Have you ever heard of her having a Mr Potato collection, or having an obsession with it?
Why did everyone kept asking him about Mr Potato tonight?
SPIKE: Nope.
SCULLY: Maybe one of her relatives?
About to answer 'no', Spike changed his mind. He might not be able to hurt the whelp, but he could still make his life a bit more miserable than it already was…
SPIKE: Now that you mention it, maybe… I think I saw some of those things at Alexander Harris' apartment a couple of times. He's one of her friends.
Mulder wrote on his notebook: "investigate at Harris apartment".
MULDER: Now… As a vampire yourself, would you identify these as vampire bites?
The male agent took a few photos out of his notebook and showed them to Spike. They were pictures of the Mr Potato victims' necks. They had marks that looked exactly like vampire bites. Spike took a close look at them.
SPIKE: What, that? How amateurish! Who is that supposed to fool? They're just imitations, and bad ones. I'm sure those guys didn't have a single drop of blood sucked from them.
MULDER: Ok. Thank you Mr… Er… Thank you. That's all we wanted to know.
Spike watched them walking away. He hadn't frightened them even a little. Maybe he had lost the knack? Bloody chip.
In the mean time, the two FBI agents were discussing.
SCULLY: We have contradictory testimonies about her violent behavior. One of them has to be lying…
(Special agents Mulder and Scully appear courtesy of X-Files… Just in case you didn't know yet…)
* * * * *
In Buffy's house…
Dawn was lying on her bed, hanging to the phone. She was talking to Janice.
DAWN: Yeah!! You saw him? When he went through the crowd, like… like… a doctor…!
JANICE: You were so lucky to be so close to him…
DAWN: I know… (a sigh) Tomorrow I'll patrol in all the corridors of the school, and if I see him, well, maybe I'll feel suddenly weak…!! (laughs)
DING DONG.
The doorbell. Dawn heard it, but didn't move. She kept talking with Janice.
DINGDONG. Knock knock knock.
As the hits on the door became harder, Dawn hang off with Janice and came down to the door. She saw cigarette smoke through the window. She opened the door and gasped when she saw a woman smoking on the doorstep.
MISS PARKER: I was beginning to think you'd never open. Can I come in?
DAWN: No… (Miss Parker pushed her gently to enter) You can't! My sister is not here and… (understanding she might have said the wrong thing)
MISS PARKER: Alone in the house… So late… And you're opening to a stranger, poor little girl… (sarcastic smile).
DAWN: Don't come near me. (She backed off slowly) If you touch me you'll…
SPIKE: I'll kill you.
As she saw him, Dawn went next to Spike as if he were her big brother. Miss Parker put on her interesting-man smile but Spike kept his killer face.
MISS PARKER: I'm investigating on a man. (beat) Maybe you've seen him, he likes candies and toys. (beat) He always has a red notebook with him.
SPIKE: Have I the face of a pickpocket?
MISS PARKER: Not really. More a serial killer one.
SPIKE (smiling): Thanks.
DAWN: What kind of toys? Could it be… let me guess… Mr. Potato?
MISS PARKER (moving to Dawn): Could be. Have you seen him?
DAWN (hesitating): No… But some FBI agents are looking after a Mr. Potato psychopath.
MISS PARKER: Really?? Thanks. (going back to the door and stubbing out her cigarette on the ground outside) Where can I buy some tobacco here at this time?
Spike opened his leather duster and took out a pack with all kinds of cigarettes even a few Cuban's cigars.
SPIKE: Make your choice.
As Miss Parker took a cigarette, Spike took one too, and they both lit them.
DAWN: Hey, you two are not going to smoke in front of me, right?
SPIKE: The Nibblet's right. We should take this to a more… convenient place… (suggestive smile)
(Miss Parker appears courtesy of The Pretender)
* * * * *
Somewhere downtown…
A man was walking down the street. He was wearing black clothes and his face was almost pale. He seemed to be walking without any goal. He was just keeping on moving. The streets were silent, there was no one. He kept walking. He stopped when he heard the voice of a couple in the adjacent street.
Then he walked slowly to the end of the street. He looked at the couple. He took his red notebook where he read: "Follow the prey, scare the prey, kill the prey and drink the blood".
He sighed. Pretending to be a vampire was not as easy as he had first thought… First, he was not well equipped for the drinking blood part. More practice, he needed more practice… Then, he'd go find some real vampires and infiltrate them…
He put back his book in his pocket and took out a candy from a vampire-headed PEZ distributor before stretching his slingshot armed with Mr. Potato spare parts in the direction of the couple.

* * * * *
In the administrative building of Sunnydale's hospital, during the same night…
SCULLY: I've got it! Miss Summers Buffy…
MULDER: Anything interesting?
SCULLY: She's been admitted a lot of times… Two years ago, she was in blood lack, bite traces on the neck. Last summer she's been killed…
MULDER: What?
SCULLY: Take a look at the coroner's report. "Fatal fall". More recently she's been shot. And the operation was interrupted by a friend of hers.
MULDER: How can she be so healthy now?
SCULLY: Ok. Now, we know who has lied. She *do* know about the vampires and about much more I think…
MULDER: Wow, Scully, I would have never expected that much audacity in conclusions coming from *you*…
SCULLY: Let's have a look at Harris' apartment. He might be sleeping at this time.
(Special agents Mulder and Scully appear courtesy of X-Files… See you soon…)
* * * * *
In front of Dawn's high school, the sunlight began to appear…
BUFFY: Hurry up! I don't want to go to jail another time for a break-in.
GILES: I know… But… I don't manage to open this damned door…
XANDER (nervous): I hate high school. I'm happy to be a worker by now you know…
BUFFY: Ok. Let's have it my way!
Giles backed off, and Buffy just gave a kick in the door, which opened.
ANYA: Good yield.
WILLOW: Ok. We must do this quickly… Dawn said the attack took place near the canteen hall. We may find some clues there…
They walked quickly to the filming scene. Cameras and micros were still in the corridor. They looked everywhere. Everything seemed to be normal. No evidence of an evil or demoniac presence.
They began to leave when Xander slipped on something and screamed when he fell on his back.
XANDER: What's that? A pez distributor! Have I already said that I hate high school…?
WILLOW: Show me that…
XANDER: Just a teenager victim, let it down Willow, that's not important…
BUFFY: Are you ok Xander?
XANDER: Yeah. Let's go back home please…
WILLOW: Since when do Pez distributors have evil-heads?
ANYA: Oh. Since a few weeks. Better for the sells.
GILES: What is it? A vampire?
WILLOW: Yeah. It seems to be the exact reproduction of the Master.
BUFFY: The one all wrinkled? How can it be sold?
ANYA: Teenagers love horror things. That's what we need at the magic Box!! Giles! We need something really reluctant to have more clients. Something attractive for the youngs…
The Scoobies looked at her as she was talking alone.
GILES (sighing): In your ad, just tell that the shopkeeper is a vengeance demon with a really reluctant face…
ANYA: Hey!
