Faith, Athena, Bellona, and Neil were walking through the quiet town of Sunnydale toward Faith's motel.

Well, actually, everyone else was walking; Athena was happily skipping down the street and then skipping back to them and around them in circles before repeating the same pattern with her eyes closed and biting her lip, humming all the while. Faith watched her in a mixture of confusion and amusement.

"What is she doing?"

"That's her version of the happy dance." Bellona replied.

Neil just smiled as he watched Athena's antics, and then yawned like a sleepy bear would.

"Damn, dude, you're beat." Faith observed.

"Yeah, loooong day at work."

"Well, we're here. Home sweet home."

While they were only a few feet from Faith's motel room, she suddenly stopped and handed Bellona the room key.

"Where are you going?"

"Goin' out for a night on the town. I'm still wound up. Wanna come?" She directed this last one at Athena.

"I thought you would never ask."

"Have fun." Neil said.

Grinning, Athena kissed Neil on the lips. Faith shrugged and kissed him on the lips too, and they walked off together. Athena said something that Bellona and Neil didn't catch, that made Faith howl with almost girlish laughter.

Rolling her eyes, Bellona unlocked the door and she and Neil proceeded inside.

"Athena, always thinking with her clit, as usual." Bellona grumbled to herself.

"Damn, I'm parched. Hope you got ID for beer or somethin."

"Nope. Fresh out."

"Damnit!"

"Chill out squirt. Shall we Bronze it?"

"Yeah, why not?" Faith said, disappointed.

"Lead the way."

As they walked up to the Bronze, Faith paid for them both, and they walked inside. Faith grabbed Athena's hand and pulled her on the dance floor, and started dancing fast and hard to some heavy metal song being pumped over the speakers. They were soon surrounded by a crowd of eager college boys looking to get a little action.

Dancing was definitely all the action they were going to get.

"Damn, girl, you can dance!" Faith exclaimed as they sat at a table with drinks in hand.

"What can I say? I've got skills. Many skills." Athena said cockily.

"Think you can give me a run for my money big girl?"

Athena only smiled.

Faith found herself picked up and slammed up against the wall in a back room of the Bronze with Athena kissing her almost ravenously. They hurriedly tore at each other's clothes as they fell to the ground, Athena's deep kiss nearly causing Faith to orgasm right there. And when Faith did come, she came again and again, gasping and moaning and groaning, her sweaty body shaking from the sensations.

Athena made sure Faith would remember this after she got up later on. She made sure again and again. Very sure.

A man watched Faith's motel from the darkness until the sun started to rise, then dropped his cigarette and stubbed it out.

Soon. He thought, soon.

You didn't go where I hoped you would mate, but you will at some point.

And then I'll get her back when I serve the Slayer and friends to her on a platter. Literally.

He hurriedly walked to his Desoto, got in, and drove off.
