DISCLAIMER: VICKY'S MINE.
SWEARING IN HERE.
JUMPED UP PAST THE WHOLE CRAZY CATHY 'EAT YOUR SOUL SO I CAN STAY IN COLLEGE' BIT. VICKY IS NOW ROOMING WITH BUFFY AND WILLOW DOESN'T HAVE THE PARTYIER ROOMMATE SO SHES ALL GOOD.
This will probably be a rather slow up take, im not gonna have them dive head first into a romeo and juliet kinda thing. unrealistic, he has been a evil bastard for like all of his undead life.
I was sitting next to Willow and Buffy watching Oz's band play up on stage, they were pretty good considering the singer was a total flake. They finished out their song and Oz came down to stand by Willow. D'awwe, they were absolutely adorable. Willow nudges me and stares at me expectantly. I look at Buffy for an answer and she has the same face, dammit. I need to stop spacing out in conversations.
"What?" I said with a raised eyebrow and puzzled face.
"Don't you think that if a girl has spent all week with a guy she can look directly at him?" Willow says slowly, like I'm an idiot.
"Yeaah. I think so. As long as she isn't doing the whole 'Imma stare into your soul' look." I say as I look inbetween the three to check for a 'DING DING RIGHT ANSWER.' response.
"See, even Vicky agrees. I bet you could even think all those lusty and wrong thoughts about him." Willow says as she leans closer, as if shes going to tell us a secret. At that point the man himself, Parker I believe, comes up and offers to walk Buffy back to the dorms. She looks at us and both of us as we nod our heads vigorously. After she leaves with him I help Oz's band pack up.
We went backstage, and began grabbing equipment. I grabbed a part of the drum set and the sticks, Willow grabbed Oz's guitar. We walked out the backdoor and went to put things in the van. Oz hands me the keys and I go around the van to the driver side. I open up the door and move to put the keys into the ignition when I wap them off the stearing wheel and they fall into the blackness that is the floorboard. I leaned over and began to search with my hands looking for something spikey. Then I heard Willow gasp, I pop my head back up and look around the seat. All I can see is red ass pants. I walk around the van to figure out who exactly is the wearer of this pants and all I see is this blonde chick with her teeth in Willows neck. Wait a second.
"Holy shit, OZ!" I yelled for Oz, and then picked up the first thing I found on the edge of the van, and slam it as hard as I can into her side.
"That was mean!" The female vamp said all annoyed, ew her face is all vamped out. Willow looks terrified between us as she tries to stop her neck bleeding out by putting her hand over the wound.
"So is trying to suck people dry!" I said just as annoyed, I wield my weapon of choice higher in the air, just in case she decides to run at me.
"Get back!" Oz said as he jumped infront of Willow and I. Well thank god Oz finally arrived, and goodie hes brought a cross. The female vamp backs up,
"I'm gonna tell my boyfriend that you were mean to me! And hes gonna beat you guys up!" She yells in her irritating squeaky voice.
"OOOO. I'm soooo scared." I yelled back at her while glaring. She turns and runs into the dark finally. Oz turns around to Willow making sure she's okay then looks at me and at my hands in the air.
"Really? You grabbed my guitar to hit her with?" He asks with a raised eyebrow eyeing my hands again. I finally look up and see that in fact, I have grabbed Oz's guiter case to hit the squeaky bitch with.
"Oh um. Yeah, sorry about that." I hand it to him and rub the back of my neck awkwardly.
"Sooo, I figure we might wanna go tell Buffy?" I roll my eyes as I watch him stroke the guitar case while putting it back in the van. Geez, boys and their toys.
"Definitely. Lets roll." He goes around to the driver's side, finds the keys and off we go.
At the Dorms...
"So it was Harmony? And shes all vamped out now?" Buffy asks as we sit on my bed with the first aid kit spread out over the covers. I snorted at the idea of her name meaning something pretty while her voice sounded like nails on a freaking chalkboard. They all looked at me strangely and I shrugged.
"What? Her name sounds pretty, but her voice sounds like a dying cat. Just seeing the irony is all." I say quietly and look away at the end.
"Annyways back on track. Will?" Buffy looks back towards Willow for the continuation of the story.
"Yeah I guess so. She even warned us that her boyfriend was going to come and beat us all up." Willow says annoyed, and still has her hand over the neon bandaid that was just put on her neck.
"Must be a really tolerant guy." Buffy says as she looks away, thinking.
"I'll say. I'd wind up trying to suffocate her with a sock. Couldn't stand hearing that voice 24-7." I said then leaned back on the edge of my bed thinking about the poor guy that choose Harmony as a partner. Maybe the sex was just mindblowing. It has to be that, no way any sane guy could stand that noise all day long.
We got Willow and Oz off and eventually got ready for bed. Sleep didn't come this time and I listiened to the sound outside untill the next morning.
I went through the motions of school or college, excited for tonight. First party! Which was surprising because we did get that jello shot flyer. However when we got back to the dorms, Buffy got ready as soon as possible. She was really excited about this Parker guy. I interrogated her about the walk home, and she told me all about Parker's troubled past. His father dying, and living for today and so on. He sounded a bit odd, kinda needy but whatever its her thing. I laid on the bed as Buffy got all psyched up, putting on make up and wearing that black shirt with the string back. She kept telling me all about him and how sweet he was as I counted the cracks in the ceiling paint and held my abdomen.
"Are you even listiening to me?" Buffy asked, shes turned around looking at me in the full length mirror with raised eyebrows.
"Oh yeah totally. Parker spits out puppys and candy, because hes just that sweet." I said sarcastically while propping myself up on my elbows and then grinned at her. She rolled her eyes and comes to sit on the bed.
"Do you think I should do this? Am I moving too fast?" She laid back next to me and looked at me with a furrowed brows.
"Yeah totally, no worries. You've known him for like a week already, and if he tries anything you have that hardcore slayer skill." I gave her a smile and dismissed the idea with my hand.
"Would you come with me to the party? Pleaseeeee, just to check it out and see if its okay!" She suddenly turned to me and gave me the puppy face.
"Awwww, ok-no! Thats not gonna work this time Buffy!" I hmphed and turned my back on her face. I felt her hands on my shoulders and then she twisted me back around to face her. So I put my hands over my eyes.
"No Buffy! Go be a big girl and go by yourself. I have insane cramps, okay?" I kept my hands over my eyes until she moved them back down and continued with her puppy face. She knew about my cramps and how bad they got. It was either intense pain for the first few days, or I was a emotional rollercoaster ride and dragged anyone possible down with me.
"Pweaseeeeee Vicky? I promise it'll be a quick thing, just to check if hes there! Then you can go back and revel in your pains." She ramped up the puppy face with that statment and I cracked finally.
"Fine! Okay I'll go! Jesus." I replied exasperated and got up to go check my closet for party clothes. I could just feel her evil grinning behind me. I flipped through the clothes and settled on a tank that had a oval cut out of the back. I'd have to pair it with a neon bra and jeans. I changed and by the time I finished my make up, it was time to go to this hell hole.
Buffy was jumping excitedly ahead of me, as I dragged my feet groaning at every love filled statment she filpped out about Parker. I could feel the bass pumping from the sidewalk as we began to walk up the stairs and it hurt my poor ears. She spotted Parker as soon as we walked in and bounded off after him, great. Might as well get something to drink, I guess. I meandered my way towards the bar and accidentally bumped into this pale bleached blonde guy wearing a leather duster. He was actually pretty cute, in a totally punky kinda way? Hmmm.
"Oi! Watch it!" He shouted annoyed, in some form of british accent. He had spun around, and was glaring at me.
"Jesus I just bumped into you. Get over it." I bit out. I take it back hes ugly as hell, and I hate his face and hes starting to piss me off.
"Yeah, you bumped into me. I was minding my own damn business until you had to go and bloody fall into me." His death glare began to relax into a arrogant smirk, like he owned the whole damn world. The little shit.
"Oh, get over yourself. While you're at it, you might want to get a new wardrobe too. Billy Idol is gonna want his clothes back soon, mm?" I crossed my arms and allowed a smirk to appear on my face paired with raised eyebrows, as his smirk turned into a glare again.
"Oi, he stole that look from me yeah? The sod. I bloody well came up with it first." He tried to defend his aged clothes. Yeah right, like this guy was old enough to wear these things when Billy Idol was a teenager. He looked like he was in his mid-twenties and it was in fact just 1998.
"Yeah okay. Whatever you say, creeper." I replied, obviously not believing him while looking disinterestedly at my nails. I needed a manicure, or just some nail polish. Yup nail polish it is. This was actually kinda fun, I looked back up and him and I noticed his glare had softened into a small smile. He was having fun too I guess.
"Say luv, whats your name?" He leaned in and I looked up at him. WOW, another freaking giant. Curse my shortness. He has that damn smirk again, god I hate arrogant guys.
"Oh its um, go away." I say and turn to walk away towards the bar again. I've gotten about a step away when I feel a cold, large hand wrap around my elbow and tug me back.
"Let. Go." I turned to him and try to rip my elbow out of his grasp. It does absolutely nothing, no matter how hard I try. Its like he doesn't even feel me pulling away or something, I've gotten goosebumps now. Theres something off about him.
"I'm Spike." He still had that smirk and I glared daggers at him, still trying to pull my arm back to me.
"What kind of name is Spike? And will you just let gooo?" I elogated the 'o' and gave up trying to pull my arm back. Its forever locked in his grasp, I really need to work out my upper body strength. First thing I'm doing when I get back to the dorms is like 50 push-ups. Okay that was a little over-achieving. Maybe like 20 or 10, yeah 10. He looks amused as hell.
"Vicky? Whats going on?" I looked over my shoulder and saw Buffy and her boytoy walking up. She looks worried, I relax my face into neutral mode again and motion to my elbow.
"I'm trying to take my arm back." I said and stepped out of the way, motioning to Spike. Her worried face switched to recognition, then to stone.
"Spike? You wanna unhand her? Buffy says with raised eyebrows and crosses her arms.
"Spike? You know him?" I said however, I was infact ignored.
"Summers? You know Summers?" He looked at me quizzically and abruptly let go of me.
"I'm related to her." I said and yet again I was ignored.
"Shes my cousin, Spike." She took a step closer looking rather menacing.
"Ah new guy I see. I like 'im, looks ah...whats the word? Vulnerable." Hes smirking again, staring at the hand that Parker's put out towards him. Great just ignore me everybody.
"So why were you harassing my cousin again?" She has the look of imminent death on her face again.
"We just chatted Buffy." I spouted quickly, she looks ready to stake him or something. I was ignored again. I became exasperated and crossed my arms over my chest, I didn't even want to come here. At this point another blonde bimbo pops up and lays her head on Spike's shoulder. She looks suspiciously like that blonde vamp. I squinted at her,
"And Harmony, how'd you two meet?" Buffy begings to grin. She looks witheringly at the blonde. So she was that blonde vampire, I guess Spike is the really tolerant boyfriend then.
"Well funny story actually..." He glances down and suddenly bolts pushing Harmony off and me into Buffy.
"Urgh!" She takes off after him, after regaining her balance. I ofcourse took a little longer to regain what little balance I had in the first place, Harmony and I looked at each other. A second passed and I reacted first by shoving her onto her ass, I heard a indignant shriek as took off after both of them.
I found Buffy outside, looking around. I'm pretty sure that the two vamps are long gone by now. I suppose Buffy is too, since she just calls up Giles to tell him something about the Gem of amara. I went back to the dorms alone of course, and the rest of that week went by pretty fast, however I couldn't sleep that night and wound up walking around the woods some. What a bad idea that was.
