Chapter Four.
Outside Sunnydale High School.
Willow stopped at the bus stop, sat down on the bench and waited for her bus to show up. She got out one of the many books from her bag and began reading to pass the time.
One of the few things that could distract her was the sound of a vehicle pulling up by the bus stop and as she looked up she saw Cordelia smiling back at her as she pushed open the passenger side, "Well, get in Rosenberg."
Looking around to see if anyone else could possibly be named Rosenberg, but since nobody was rushing to the car, she knew Cordy was talking to her.
Not sure what was going on, she put away her books and walked slowly towards Cordy's car.
Leaning in to see Cordelia smiling still, she sat down in the passenger's seat, buckled up and smiled back at the pretty brunette and watched as she took off.
"I was on my way to the mall when I saw you sitting there and I couldn't help but think, this girl needs a makeover. So, I'm going to take you to all the best places and we are going to get you a whole new wardrobe and a new hairstyle and I know there's a hot sexy girl just dying to break free."
"Um, I don't know what to say. I'm kind of torn between being offended and excited."
"Huh? You are a strange girl Willow Rosenberg." Cordelia said with a rare warm smile, "I don't think you're used to someone being nice to you, so you create some bizarre scenario to explain it. I know it's hard to grasp, but I find you interesting and wanted to get know you better. No secret motive. No big prank planned. Just me being me."
"Okay, sorry then." Willow said softly, turning away from Cordy and looking out the window.
"Are you always this shy?"
"Not always, just when I don't know someone very well." Willow replied, her eyes back to staring at Cordelia, "I'm actually quite talkative around my friends. Xander says I never shut up, but in a good way."
"Stranger still, I never understood what you saw in Harris. He seems like such a dork." Cordelia said with puzzled look.
Willow smiled at how blunt Cordelia always was, "Oh, he kind of is, but he's a nice guy. He's a good friend and I think you'd like him if you give him a chance."
"Maybe I will, if you like him I suppose he can't be that bad." Cordelia made a left turn and parked the car outside the fanciest boutique in Sunnydale. She got out, helped Willow out of the car and led the way inside a store Willow never dared even window shop in.
"I should tell you that there's no way I can afford to buy a coffee in this place. But, I don't mind helping you shop." Willow said as she looked in awe at the isles and isles of the most famous designer clothes in the world.
"Don't worry about the money, it's one good thing about having rich parent's." Cordelia said with a sweet grin, "Ah, here we go. I just think you would look so good in this. I saw the other day it just screamed Willow to me. Why don't you go try it on?"
"Me? No, I just...no I can't. I might spill something on it or set it on fire or..."
"Set it on fire? You kill me Willow, you have such a dry wit. Go ahead; if it goes up in smoke, the bill will be the least of your worries." Cordelia said with a smile as she led Willow to the change rooms and pushed her inside.
"Um, I guess I'll try it on then." Willow said from the room.
"Good, I'm going to check some out some other things. Just come on out when you're ready." Cordelia said and then was back checking out the next row of designer outfits.
Willow slowly began to remove her sweater, then after a bit more time she removed her skirt. Finally, she put on the dress Cordy had picked out for her and when she looked in the mirror she quickly began covering herself up.
After about 10 minutes Cordelia walked back to the change rooms, "Hey, are you okay in there?"
"Um, I'm not sure what to do. I think this dress is missing some parts." Willow said as she looked in the mirror at all the skin she was seeing.
Cordelia couldn't help but laugh, "You are so cute. Come on, let me see how you look."
"Okay, but don't laugh." Willow said and then put her hand on the door knob, "Oh wait, Is there anyone else out there? I can't wear this in front of strangers."
"It's just you and I, so come on out." Cordelia said and then waited as the dressing room door opened and Willow stepped out.
Willow was wearing a Versace original, worn first by the beautiful Christy Turlington and she looked amazing
"OMG, I'm in awe. Have you looked in the mirror?" Cordelia said as she put Willow in front of her and facing a large full length mirror, "Even I didn't think you would look this stunning. You need to keep this."
"No way. I can't wear this." Willow said in a panicked state, "Look, it's not covering much of me at all. I feel all this air on my body and it's freaking my out. I feel almost naked in this."
"A little modesty is good Willow, but you are overdoing it a bit." Cordelia said as she adjusted the side of her top, brushing every so gently against Willow's left breast, "Nothing is showing that shouldn't be showing. Your breasts are covered nicely and so is your cute little ass, so what is it you don't like?"
"I don't know. I don't think I'm meant to be sexy I guess. I just don't know if I'm comfortable looking this way. I can't be like you and be beautiful and sexy and poised and confident. I'm going to take this off." Willow turned to walk away but felt Cordelia holding her around the waist.
"Just one minute okay." Cordelia said as she turned Willow around, "I know we don't know each other like best friends, but I would hope you'd listen to my opinion when it comes to fashion. You're so much prettier than you let yourself be. Let's not forget how good you look in that dress. Every single curve accentuated; I can't take my eyes off you."
"You're just saying that to be nice." Willow looked in the mirror again as it was one way to look at Cordelia without staring.
"Oh god girl, you have lower self esteem that anyone I know." Cordelia took Willow's hand and led her back to the change room, walked inside with her and shut the door, "Okay, it's just you and me here. It's not school. There's no pressure. Nobody is watching. Now, what I'm about to do is probably going to make you scream and run away, but if I have to speed things up just to get you to see how pretty you really are, then so be it." Cordelia said with authority, then took Willow's face in her hand, leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
Willow was more than stunned by the kiss, but not enough to stop kissing Cordelia back. In fact, the more they kissed, the more relaxed Willow became until she was becoming the aggressor and was soon exploring Cordelia's mouth with her tongue, her hands moving up and down her back as she pulled Cordy closer.
When Cordelia broke the kiss off, she looked back Willow, who was smiling from ear to ear, "Well, since you didn't run away screaming can I assume you enjoyed that?"
"Oh yes, I loved it. I still can't believe you kissed me." Willow said with a look that was both happy and confused, "Oh please do not tell me this was just a pity kiss."
"What am I going to do with you?" Cordelia said with a sigh and then leaned in again and kissed Willow hard on the lips.
This kiss went on even longer then the last. The passion grew and grew, as Cordelia was the one who slipped her hands under Willow's top and over her small yet perky breasts.
Soft moans escaped Willow's lips as Cordy rubbed her nipples with her thumb and slid her right hand down Willow's stomach and then under her panties, rubbing her pussy, while never breaking the kiss.
Willow was breathing heavy as Cordelia was rubbing her pussy faster and faster, her left arm now holding Willow up as she leaned back against the wall, legs apart as she closed her eyes and gave herself to Cordelia.
Holding Willow tightly, Cordelia was rubbing Willow's clit harder and harder, she put her fingers up to her lips, licked and sucked them into her mouth, then quickly went back to rubbing Willow as fast as her fingers could move.
Unable to control her emotions or her moans, Willow was moaning faster and louder as she squeezed the side railing as hard as she could, her body shaking wildly as Cordy continued her torrid pace.
With the scent of sex filling the air, it was no surprise when a sales lady abruptly knocked on the door, "Hello? What is going on in there?"
Cordelia pulled back and put her hand against the door, "Nothing miss, we're just trying on some clothes and had a bit trouble with one of our zippers were trying to get it unstuck. Sorry for the noise."
"Okay then, but please, let's keep it down in the future." The attractive woman said and then walked swiftly back to the front desk.
Willow and Cordy both started laughing and as their eyes met, Willow again turned away and began changing out of the dress.
"I want to buy that for you." Cordelia said as she helped Willow out of the dress, "Seriously, if it's a problem with the money, then you can pay me back over time, but I want you to wear this Friday when we go out to dinner."
"Okay." Willow said with a smile, "But, I will pay you back. I think. How much is it again?"
"You don't want to know." Cordelia said, then picked up the dress and covered the price tag with her hand.
"Thank you for this. I had fun. I mean, the dress and well, you know, the other stuff to." Willow said as she made eye contact with Cordy for the first time.
"Oh, I had a lot of fun to. But, we aren't done yet. That was one dress silly, I've got tons more outfits for you to try on." Cordelia got up and opened the door, "You stay here, I'll just bring you back things to try on."
Willow smiled and sat back as Cordelia brought her every type of outfit under the sun. By the time she was finished, Willow was so used to having her clothes off, she had become comfortable standing naked in the change room, just waiting for the next outfit.
"Well, that was so much fun. I can't thank you enough for bringing me here. I owe you so much for this." Willow said as she hugged Cordelia.
"It was so fun for me to. I love shopping and I loved it even more having you to share it with me." Cordelia added as she helped sort through the clothes she wanted Willow to keep.
"That's too many. I said one was enough, but I can't take all 5 of these things." Willow said, trying to put her foot down on Cordy's generosity, "Two is the most and only because I love this skirt, even if it is way too short for me to wear to school."
"Take the dress, the skirt and top and these jeans. They can be worn at school and I don't think you even own a pair do you?" Cordelia asked as she piled the three outfits onto her arm and walked out of the change room.
Willow began to feel the guilt even more as she saw the final bill for the three outfits Cordy wanted her to have. "OMG. I can't let you spend that much."
"It's a done deal." Cordy said, grabbing the bag from the saleslady and walking back out to her car.
Cordelia drove Willow home, parked in front of her house, turned the ignition off and looked over at Willow, "I had a great time today. I hope you did to."
"Oh yes, it was amazing. I've never tried on so many clothes in my life. I had a ball." Willow said, her face beaming with happiness.
"Good, I'm glad you did." Cordelia said, letting her right hand slide over Willow's left hand, "I know things got really intense back there, but I want you to know I'm not usually like that. I love it, but I guess what I'm saying is, I don't mind taking things slow. If you want to actually do this that is."
"Do what? This?" Willow said with a smile and then leaned over and kissed Cordelia softly on the lips.
"Yep, that's what I mean." Cordelia smiled and the two began kissing again, only this time they were interrupted by something much bigger and uglier than the pretty saleslady.
Two vamps stood in front of Cordy's car, not doing anything, just staring at the two girls.
"This isn't good. What are those things?" Willow asked as she held on to Cordelia.
"I don't know, but I've heard rumors of vampires in Sunnydale since I was a little girl, but this is the first time I've actually seen one." Cordelia said as she turned the ignition, drove past the two vamps and kept going until they were out of sight.
Buffy and Faith were walking down the street just as Cordy raced around the corner and put on the breaks and quickly backed up and Cordy rolled down her window, "Hey, you better watch out, we just saw two vampires a couple blocks back. You probably shouldn't be walking the streets right now."
The two girls walked over to the car and Buffy leaned inside, "Hi there, I'm Buffy and this is my friend Faith. Where exactly did you see the vamps?"
"Just down the street from my house, straight back on the road." Willow said pointing to where she lived.
"Thanks, maybe you two should find someplace safe to be for now." Faith said as she looked around for any sign of vamps.
"You don't think you are going to fight these things do you?" Cordelia asked, as she kept an eye on her rear view mirror, "I've heard they are very strong and if they bite you and something about you drinking blood from them, you turn into one. Yuck."
"That's okay, we'll be fine. It's a long story, but we know how to handle them." Buffy said, not wanting to give too much away.
"Don't say I didn't warn you." Cordelia said and then turned to Willow, "You can stay at my place until we know it's safe."
"Thanks, that's a good idea." Willow said as she squeezed Cordelia's hand tightly.
Buffy and Faith stepped away from the car and watched it take off down the street.
"Well, did you want to go hunt those vamps?" Faith asked, clearly anxious to do get some fighting in.
"I guess so." Buffy added without much emotion either way. "We have a couple hours to kill, so why don't we try and find these two and then if we have some time I was going to try out this club I heard some kids talking about called The Bronze."
"I'm for that. I love to dance." Faith said just as she took a punch across her left cheek.
Buffy jumped across the fallen Faith and began fighting a rather skinny looking vamp, while Faith hopped back to her feet and did the same with a much stranger looking demon.
It only took Buffy a couple minutes to turn the vamp to dust, but Faith was having one hell of a time trying to damage the roundish demon with a very hard shell that was doing little more than nudge her with it's nose.
"What is this thing?" Faith asked as she pounded away at the creature.
Buffy stopped to watch Faith fight, spending less time watching her moves than she was watching how she looked in that white t-shirt, "I'd say this is why we have those watcher's. I bet they'd know what it was."
"You think?" Faith said sarcastically, "Thanks for helping though. I hope you're enjoying the show."
"Oh, I am." Buffy said with a smile. "You don't need help do you? It's not like it's hitting you or anything."
Faith turned back to Buffy rolling her eyes, "Very funny." After a few more futile attempts to damage the creature Faith stopped and walked back over to Buffy. "Maybe this isn't even a demon. It looks more like an over sized pet than some scary demon."
"I agree with that, but what was it doing with the vamp?" Buffy asked as she took a couple steps towards the creature, "Seems almost cruel to kill something that isn't fighting back. Well, we could take it with us to the meeting and see if the two suits know anything about it."
"Might as well." Faith said with a shrug, "How do we get it to follow us?"
"Good question." Buffy moved away from the creature, hoping make some kind of move. "Hmm, maybe we try and pick it up and carry it? How heavy does it look to you?"
"You must be kidding?"
"Well no, but if you have a better idea let's hear it." Buffy said as she folded her arms waiting for Faith to speak.
Faith walked in a circle around the creature, even getting down on her knees to look under it's shell, but found nothing useful, "Why don't we try and push it first? It looks heavy to me with that hard shell all around it. I'd rather not spend my time carrying a demon around."
"Sure, let's see what happens." Buffy said and then walked behind the demon, with Faith beside her, the two girls began pushing the creature, and after some serious exertion on both their parts, it actually moved about an inch.
"I have no idea. Let's forget this thing. It looks harmless." Faith said still catching her breath.
Buffy sat down on the grass beside the creature, "I guess one of us could stay here and the other could bring the two watcher's here to have a look."
"Okay, how do we decide who does what?" Faith asked while taking a seat beside Buffy.
"I'll stay here and you can get the watcher's. If you want." Buffy said, not wanting to have it sound like an order.
"That's fine. I just don't like leaving you here alone. We still don't know what this thing is capable of." Faith got to her feet and looked back down at Buffy, "I don't want you getting hurt."
"I'll be fine." Buffy said as she stood up, "I'll stay far enough away from it. Just hurry and I'll see when you get back."
"I won't be long." Faith said and took off in a flash.
Buffy walked back over to the creature, gave it a pat on it's shell and smiled, "It's just you and me kiddo. I don't suppose you can talk? No? Do you watch TV? No? Okay, what about hobbies? I bet you sleep a lot. So tell me, how does a nice shelled creature like you get mixed up with a vamp anyway?"
After she got no reaction from the creature, she let out a disappointed sigh, backed up and sat on a park bench about 20 feet away and waited for Faith.

It only took Buffy a couple minutes to turn the vamp to dust, but Faith was having one hell of a time trying to damage the roundish demon with a very hard shell that was doing little more than nudge her with it's nose.
"What is this thing?" Faith asked as she pounded away at the creature.
Buffy stopped to watch Faith fight, spending less time watching her moves than she was watching how she looked in that white t-shirt, "I'd say this is why we have those watcher's. I bet they'd know what it was."
"You think?" Faith said sarcastically, "Thanks for helping though. I hope you're enjoying the show."
"Oh, I am." Buffy said with a smile. "You don't need help do you? It's not like it's hitting you or anything."
Faith turned back to Buffy rolling her eyes, "Very funny." After a few more futile attempts to damage the creature Faith stopped and walked back over to Buffy. "Maybe this isn't even a demon. It looks more like an over sized pet than some scary demon."
"I agree with that, but what was it doing with the vamp?" Buffy asked as she took a couple steps towards the creature, "Seems almost cruel to kill something that isn't fighting back. Well, we could take it with us to the meeting and see if the two suits know anything about it."
"Might as well." Faith said with a shrug, "How do we get it to follow us?"
"Good question." Buffy moved away from the creature, hoping make some kind of move. "Hmm, maybe we try and pick it up and carry it? How heavy does it look to you?"
"You must be kidding?"
"Well no, but if you have a better idea let's hear it." Buffy said as she folded her arms waiting for Faith to speak.
Faith walked in a circle around the creature, even getting down on her knees to look under it's shell, but found nothing useful, "Why don't we try and push it first? It looks heavy to me with that hard shell all around it. I'd rather not spend my time carrying a demon around."
"Sure, let's see what happens." Buffy said and then walked behind the demon, with Faith beside her, the two girls began pushing the creature, and after some serious exertion on both their parts, it actually moved about an inch.
"I have no idea. Let's forget this thing. It looks harmless." Faith said still catching her breath.
Buffy sat down on the grass beside the creature, "I guess one of us could stay here and the other could bring the two watcher's here to have a look."
"Okay, how do we decide who does what?" Faith asked while taking a seat beside Buffy.
"I'll stay here and you can get the watcher's. If you want." Buffy said, not wanting to have it sound like an order.
"That's fine. I just don't like leaving you here alone. We still don't know what this thing is capable of." Faith got to her feet and looked back down at Buffy, "I don't want you getting hurt."
"I'll be fine." Buffy said as she stood up, "I'll stay far enough away from it. Just hurry and I'll see when you get back."
"I won't be long." Faith said and took off in a flash.
Buffy walked back over to the creature, gave it a pat on it's shell and smiled, "It's just you and me kiddo. I don't suppose you can talk? No? Do you watch TV? No? Okay, what about hobbies? I bet you sleep a lot. So tell me, how does a nice shelled creature like you get mixed up with a vamp anyway?"
After she got no reaction from the creature, she let out a disappointed sigh, backed up and sat on a park bench about 20 feet away and waited for Faith.
