1 Week Later:
The past week had been wonderful for Buffy. She was glad Faith was gone, even if it was for a week. She knew life at school and even her personal life was going to be hell now that Faith was around. She sighed and walked up the school stairs with Dawn.
"So Dawnie, where's Andrew?" Buffy asked smirking. Dawn giggled and twirled her hair.
"He's meeting me later." she said smiling widely.
"Very cool,"
"So, what about you and that freshman Angel." Dawn said smirking.
"Dawnie please! Don't call him a freshman; he sounds so. immature." Buffy stated. Dawn sighed.
"Fine, how's the *college* freshman Angel," she corrected her self.
"He's fine, we're going out tonight at the bronze, with Willow and Xander, wanna come with? With Andrew or something?" she asked, hoping her sister would say yes.
"Sure, I'll tell him when I see him later,"
"Alright,"
"So, um. I have to go to the library, wanna come with?" Dawn asked. Buffy jumped at her.
"No! I mean. no, the library is closed," Buffy said, calming her voice. She couldn't tell her sister that the librarian of the school was a watcher; she couldn't even tell her she was the slayer.
"Ok! Ok, forget that idea." Dawn said. Dawn walked over to the fountain and sat down, Buffy sitting next to her. It was going to be a long day.
~~~
Buffy ran from the bathroom, to her room. She only had a towel on and was looking for something to wear for the Bronze tonight. She flung open the closet door open as the water from her hair dripped down her back. She didn't have a big room, in fact it was very, small, and she shared it with Dawn. They lived in a small, old house and she hated it.
She sighed and raked through the closet. She chose a glittery pink halter top, a very short denim skirt and a pair of pink flip flops. Before Dawn would come in, she packed a pink tote filled with stakes, holy water and a cross. She quickly hid it under her bed because Dawn was very nosy.
She walked from her room back to the small bathroom. She blow dries her hair and decided to curl it loosely. She finished just as the phone rings. Buffy runs to her room and picks it up.
"Hello?" She says.
"Hello sweetie, it's me, how are you I miss you," a male voice says. Buffy couldn't help but laugh, it wasn't Angel but she knows who it is.
"Who is this?" Buffy asked still laughing. The voice on the other end went dead for a second.
"Is... Isn't this D...Dawn?" the male voice said.
"No, this is her sister, Buffy, I'm sorry, but..." she was about to finish when the phone went dead. He had hung up.
She laughed and yelled for Dawn.
"Dawn!"
She came running in the room.
"Yea?"
"You're boyfriend called, Andrew, I believe he said hey sweetie, how are you and I miss you, then when I told him that I wasn't Dawn the phone went dead, call him back Dawnie," she choked out between laughs. Dawn couldn't help but laugh either. She took the phone from Buffy.
"Thanks Buffy, your first *real* talk with him and you scare him," she said giggling.
"Yea, I have that appeal," Buffy stated.
Dawn laughed one last time and walked out of the room with the phone.
30 minutes later:
Buffy walked into the Bronze holding her boyfriends hand and with her best friends, Willow and Xander close behind. They found a table and sat down.
"So... where is Dawn?" Willow asked.
"She's not coming, she says it's because I scared her boyfriend," she said laughing.
"Yea... so, who wants a drink?" Xander asked standing up and looking around the room.
"Ooh, I do, um... I would like a mocha latte," Willow said.
"And me want a hot chocolate," Buffy said smiling wide.
"Ok girls, coming right up, Angel, wanna come with?" Xander asked. Angel nodded as the two of them stood up and walked toward the bartenders counter, leaving the two girls alone at the table.
"So Wil, um... how's your spell going?" Buffy asked.
"Not very well, it's not as easy as you think doing that protection spell, I mean, even to protect a helpless puppy is hard!" she stated. Buffy laughed.
The laughing died down as Willow looked around the Bronze. Then she spotted them. She panicked. She stood up quickly taking Buffy by the arm.
"Buffy, we need to um... find Angel and Xander! Where could they be, come on Buffy..." Willow said trying to walk away but Buffy wedged her arm out of her friends grasp. Buffy looked at Willow oddly.
"What is wrong with you?" Buffy said looking around the room and was a bout to sit down when she spotted Faith, Spike, Doyle and Cordelia walk through the Bronze doors.
"Damn it Wil, now what?"
"Hide..." Willow said, slouching down in her chair, Buffy doing the same thing.
Though, Faith still seemed to spot them and walked over with the other 3 people.
"Hey B... what's up.... been a while?" Faith said, Buffy gave a shrug, frowning.
"So princess, you seem down," Doyle said to Buffy, holding Cordelia's hand. Buffy actually enjoyed Doyle's company, he was sweet, since and a good stare.
Spike gave her a grin; she smiled but Faith shot Buffy a dirty look. Buffy sighed.
"Nothing out of the ordinary, um... I think..." she started gathering her things and stood up with Willow. Though Angel and Xander were walking back with their drinks, Xander frowned.
"Faith..." Xander said dully.
Angel looked at the 4 confused.
"Who are you people?" he asked. Buffy gave an innocent smile; she could have sworn she told him about Faith and Spike.
"Angel... this is Faith... she's a vampire slayer,"
"That would be me..." Faith said giving a seductive grin to Angel. He flashed he a quick smiled. Buffy frowned. 'That ho is trying to take my boyfriend!' she thought.
"And that is Spike, a watcher, Doyle, part demon and Cordelia, she sees visions. I thought I told you this Angel? They came last week. It seems Faith is going to have to move her to help guard the Hellmouth. The watchers council is making her and Spike stay here," she said dully.
"Oh, ok, um..." Angel said and then it was very silent for a few minutes. Buffy was becoming bored. She had to get away from these other people.
"Um... I'm gonna go check out the cemetery, see if any vamps are around," she said about to leave until Faith spoke up.
"Oh, actually B, I'm up for a quick slay, I'll come with," she said grabbing her stake. Buffy nearly choked. She was showing it in public, the slayer identity is supposed to be a secret. Buffy sighed.
"Actually, um... go on ahead... I'm going to get something really quick, I dropped something," Buffy said walking away.
Everyone nodded, talking for a minute or so and following Faith out the door except for one person... Spike. He found her sitting on a couch in the back of the Bronze.
"I thought you were leaving?" Spike said, Buffy jumping up, a bit scared. She hadn't noticed him there. She sighed.
"I was, but then I decided to stay here," she said, he laughed, sitting down next to her.
"So luv that peaches your boyfriend?" he said, directing the quote to Angel.
"Yes and he isn't a peach or what ever, he's a sweet guy," she said smiling.
"Uh huh..." he said laughing.
"So, where do you live?" he asked.
"Oh, um..." she said, not really wanting to say. She gave a shy laugh. She didn't have the best place.
"I don't live in the best part of town, I mean, we can't really afford it," she said.
"Oh, I'm sorry," he said sincerely.
"No, its ok, me and my sister are use to it,"
"You have a sister?" he asked.
"Yeah, Dawn, she's 15, she was supposed to come with her boyfriend but I kind of scared him," she said with a smirk.
"Oh," he said with a chuckle.
"So I..." Spike began, looking at Buffy, both sitting a bit close to each other but Buffy noticed Angel standing in front of her.
"Buffy I..." Angel started but then noticed Spike sitting next to her, a bit close.
She immediately stood up.
"Hi Angel I was just talking to Spike here," she said smiling. Angel didn't smile back. He just turned around walking away. She flashed Spike a frown and chased after Angel.
"Angel. Angel stop!" she said running up to him. He did but didn't look her in the face.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing, I was just about to ask my girlfriend if she wanted to go home and rest and I saw her sitting really close flirting with that other slayers boyfriend," he said dully, fully of jealousy.
"Oh my god! Angel you know I care about you! I would never do that! I was sitting there and he walked over to me! I do not like him that way. He is just... just a friend... kind of," she stated. She didn't know him a lot but she knew she enjoyed spending time with him. Plus he has a girlfriend she thought.
"Sure," he said as he walked away.
"Angel. Angel!" she called again but he disappeared into the night.
She just stayed there. Though she felt a presence and took out her stake of her little pink tote. She quickly turned and pulled the stake up to the creatures' heart. She was about to plunge it into the heart but realized it was Spike. She groaned.
"Spike!" she yelled. He grinned.
"Pet, no need to be alarmed," he said in his sexy British accent. She adored his accent. He was moving closer to her. She enjoyed it but realized she had Angel.
"Spike, we can't do this... I just met you and you have a girlfriend and I have Angel and..." she started but Spike cut her off with a soft kiss on the lips. He pulled away slowly, leaving Buffy hanging there. She actually enjoyed the kiss.
She knew it was wrong, she didn't know Spike, thought she needed it; she needed to kiss him again. She leaned up, pulling his head down and kissing him deeply. It was good and passionate and she enjoyed it but pulled away.
'No! This is wrong! You have Angel! You can't think about Spike's sexy hair and body and those piercing blue eyes of... wait! I need to stop! I love Angel! I don't know this Spike guy!" she thought.
"Spike, no, I'm sorry, I have Angel, You have Faith, and we can't do this. I would *love* to be your friend but nothing more. I'm sorry," she whispered.
"It's ok, I think that's a good idea, I dunno what's wrong with me, I have Faith and I do love her but I just had this sudden feeling, I'm sorry luv," he said.
"It's okay, and drop the sweet talk if you're going to be my friend," she said giggling.
"Deal slayer," he said and she smiled.
"Ok, I'm going to go home, um... bye Spike," she said beginning to walk away.
"Wait, here..." he said handing her a slip of paper.
"If you ever need anything, you know, a few dollars maybe, just call me and I'll be here ok?" he said. She smiled as she looked over the paper that had his cell phone number written neatly on it.
"Ok, thanks Spike, um... see you later?" she said walking away.
"Yeah, defiantly pet," he whispered into the night, watching her walk away.
