"Get it!" Shouted Erika; sitting on the counter. "Get it!" She was watching G and Alex play some soccer. Faith was in the basement training while Angel and Spike were out on a mission. It seems the gang wasn't aloud on this adventure sense the last fallout.

"Goal!" Shouted Alex; waving his hands in the air. "Pay up."

"Alright man." G gave Alex ten bucks.

"That's right, ten bucks." Alex said excited as if that's the best amount he's made, ever!

"It must be sad being you." G replied chuckling.

"What?" Alex asked. Erika smiled and jumped off the counter. "You want to go again?" Alex asked following G towards the office.

"No."

"Positive?"

"Yes." G said shutting the door after Alex followed him inside.

"Kate? You feel alright?" Erika walked over to Kate finding her spaced out.

"Yeah… I'm fine." Kate never made eye contact she just continued on staring away.

"Those two are quite the competition, they make me laugh."

"I've seen it before." Kate replied after Erika took a seat next to her.

"Are you sure you're alright Kate? If you'd like I could get something for you or--"

"No I'm fine Erika. Sorry if I seem to be ignoring you, I'm not. I'm just tired. I think I'll take a nap. Maybe you can talk with Faith." Kate got up and headed up stairs to one of the guest rooms.

"Ok then." Erika stood up looking around, figuring if she should go down into the basement and chat with Faith or not, the thought escaped her mind once Faith suddenly came out from the basement in a hurry. "Hey Faith!"

"Not now Erika, I'm a bit busy at the moment." Faith grabbed her jacket and keys. "Can you tell Angel and Spike that I'm going to be out for the rest of the night? Thanks." Faith then disappeared out the front entrance.

"Wonder where she's off to in a rush?" Erika thought out loud, but ignored the fact. "This has got to be the lamest day of my life, I'm so bored."

"Spike!" Angel shouted throwing a sword towards Spike who caught it and slashed the being in half.

"Where in sodding blazes, do these demons come from?" Spike asked slashing another demon. "What does every hell dimension spit them out one at a time?" Spike then cut off another demon's head while walking towards Angel.

"Who knows? Hey at least they're easy." Angel replied taking two swords and adding a little stunt move.

"Show off." Spike replied.

"Hey come on, improvise." Angel grabbed another demon and threw it across the room. Soon three came charging towards both Angel and Spike.

"Right." They both jumped over the creatures and cut off their heads.

"Right, that about does it." Spike looked around at all the dead bodies.

"Um, actually remember when I said they're easy?" Angel asked with a shocked, excited, worried look on his face.

"Yeah."

"I take it back." Spike turned to face what Angel was seeing, as all the bodies slowly crawled their way to each other forming a giant demon monster.

"Oh." Was all Spike could say.

Angel

Angel, Spike, G, Faith, Alex, and Kate

Hell's laugh

Both Angel and Spike came into the hotel laughing; arms on each others shoulders, with blood and goop all over themselves. From the way they were acting, they enjoyed slaying that creature. Putting their weapons away Alex and G came out of the office. G seems to be very annoyed.

"I'm glad you guys are back. Can you give Alex a job to do or something?" G then noticed all the stuff all over them. "What happened to you?"

"We just came back from slaying this huge fat blob." Spike said still laughing.

"Actually it turned into a blob after we kept cutting the body parts off." Angel replied.

"Yeah." Spike was still laughing hard, and Angel began to laugh even harder. Both G and Alex looked confused and both tried hard to hide their smiles from how Angel and Spike look so ridiculous.

"Ok, so you guy's had fun." G said walking away. Angel tried to say something but couldn't hold the laugh in and busted out snorting. Spike began to do the same thing after he saw how much Angel was laughing and actually had to lean against the wall so he wouldn't fall down. Alex stood there enjoying the way the two heroes were acting.

"Hey guy's back to the real world?" G said waving towards Angel and Spike.

"Sorry." The two headed over looking serious, and leaned on the counter, finding a note written from Erika telling them that Faith was out.

"Ok, look, both Alex and I couldn't find any information on this demon you two just slayed. Erika said when she received her visions--" G began to say.

"Yeah I get those too." Angel paused for a brief moment then began to bust up laughing again. Spike laughing with his head in his arms on the counter.

"Guy's be serious for just one second?"

"Sure yeah we can do that." Angel said standing up looking serious again.

"One." Spike said and both he and Angel fell to the floor laughing out hard. G looked at Alex shocked. Alex was just enjoying the whole other side of the two.

"Alex, you're the watcher, do your watcher stuff." G look towards him, knowing that something was just off.

"What's that green goop on you?" Alex asked. Angel and Spike couldn't stop laughing over the whole situation, even though both were trying their hardest to say something. Alex touched the goop with his figure, and G touched it to. They were both trying to figure out what it was. A moment of silence came between the two as they continued to look at the substance.

"You know I've seen this before." Alex looked up worried.

"Where?" G asked.

"In Spikes cooking." Both began to smile and then started to bust up laughing.

"Hey!" Spike took that a bit over the top but couldn't help but fall over laughing again. All four of the guy's couldn't stop laughing over the stupidest things. Kate heard the commotion and ran down stairs to see all of the guys laughing.

"Um?" She looked confused and all of the guys stopped to look at her serious.

"Kate!" Shouted all four worried. But the realization of them both saying her name at the same time, they couldn't help fall down laughing.

"Ok, I give what's the joke?" Kate asked walking towards them, with her arms crossed. Alex got up trying hard not to laugh.

"Nothing; that's the problem." He said snorting. "You should go."

"You don't want to let me in on the joke?" She asked feeling hurt and left out.

"Just walk away Kate, trust me." Alex said walking back to sit down.

"Hey wait!" Kate grabbed Alex's hand; feeling a gooey feeling and quickly pulled away. "Eww grouse, Alex!" She said wiping it on his shirt.

Alex started to bust up laughing once more and pointed to Angel's coat full of the same stuff.

"It's not mine." Alex said with tears in his eyes from how hard he was laughing. Kate looked down at her hand and back at the coat. A smile grew on her face and she began to laugh.

"Thank you, thank you so much." A young woman said running inside her home.

"No problem, just try not to go into anymore dark allies!" Shouted Erika. She went out to follow Faith but lost track when she heard a young girl screaming. She was being attacked by six different vampires in an ally, usually Angel would have a vision for something like this, but he never showed. As for Faith she disappeared; but with the advantage of being both werewolf and vampire your senses are twice as strong.

"Where do you run off to all the time?" She asked herself following the scent.

"Finally the bartender asks the guy, when is trouble going to start? And the guy replied saying, as soon as you realize I've got no money." They all began to laugh over the joke while pouring more alcohol in their glasses.

"You're jokes are as dull as you." Spike replied to Angel taking a shot.

"No I've heard one that tops that." Alex began to say. "A guy walks into a bar."

"Ouch!" Everyone shouted and they all began to laugh again.

"You know I used to wonder what it'd be like with people extremely happy." Angel said thinking out loud.

"And?" G asked.

"I don't like it." They all started to laugh again. They all laughed hard but you could tell from the way they looked they wanted to stop.

"Please kill me now." Spike said grabbing Angel.

"Poke." Angel gently poked Spike with a stake. They all laughed out loud again falling backwards towards the floor.

"Ok, let's be serious now." Kate nearly begged out loud. They all stared for a few moments in silence before all falling back to the ground laughing.

Erika continued on her search for Faith, but the scent seemed to trail off which she found to be odd. She paused for a moment when she heard the sound of music coming from a bar she recognized.

"…and I'm crazy for loving…you." A woman just finished singing Patsy Clines song "Crazy" at Lorne's bar. She came running over to Lorne.

"So…what do you see?" The girl asked.

"I see me going behind the bar to have a drink." Lorne replied walking away rolling his eyes.

"Lorne, I sang, what do you see?"

"Look sweetheart, you have to stop doing this. Sure two weeks ago you come in, and sing, I tell you romance is on your way, you come back a week later, wondering if it's going to last, I tell you yes, now everyday you're coming. Sweetheart, this is to much for me. How are you going to have a normal life, if you know what's coming every second?" Lorne asked taking a drink.

"Lorne please."

"Ok, I see, you're going to learn a valuable lesson."

"Really?"

"Yes, in about… now. Honey, life is full of surprises, deal with it." Lorne walks away.

"Lorne?" Erika came down into Lorne's bar just passing that one girl.

"Hey, my favorite Mix, what can I do for you?" Lorne asked while they both sat down.

"Hold on." Erika grabbed a drink and jugged it down.

"Oh wow, what's going on here? I thought you hated it when people invaded other people's privacy?" Lorne said after Erika was done.

"You mean like now?"

"Ouch. Tension party of one."

"Look I'm sorry, I know I hate when people invade my privacy and yet I enjoy learning scoop on others. I know it's wrong, and a bit selfish, but it's in my nature."

"You're very interesting, I'm curious. Did you always have this so called nature when you were still breathing?" he asked leaning on the table.

"Not that I can recall."

"Ah. Honey, I think that's the Vampire in you."

"No it's not. I can control my demons." She took that to be a little insulting.

"I never said you couldn't. I mean after all you do have half a soul in you." Lorne leaned back smiling.

"Yeah and I hate it."

"What? How could you hate something from keeping you from becoming evil? Honey I call that a gift."

"It doesn't seem to be mine and yet it does. It's like my soul was trapped or mixed up with something else and they're constantly fighting."

"I guess that's one of the hardships of being a Mix."

"I don't think so. It didn't happen right off. When I first became a Mix; I remember feeling my soul being slowly eaten a way from me."

"Sweetie I don't think my stomach can handle such detail."

"Sorry. It's a bit confusing." She stared off for a bit while Lorne tried to read her.

"Maybe that's why you need to snoop with others and don't like others snooping you." Lorne smiled brightly. "You don't want to know about your past or even remember it. So you keep your mind focused on others."

"Could be."

"Here how about this. You sing for me, and maybe I can help out with the whole soul business."

"On stage?" She asked a bit worried.

"On stage."

The guy's back at the hotel were under a lot of stress, trying hard not to laugh. Spike even punched Angel, but all they did was laugh and it made it harder to hit.

But it all came calm once G cast a spell. G unlocked a portal accidentally while trying to do a reversal spell instead. But from all the laughing that was accruing, G slipped. Who knows what portal he opened, all they knew was they had to fight the creatures that were coming out, plus they were to busy to even think along the thoughts of laughing.

"Woe that was a nice little number there, now I would like to introduce a new-be she's a special friend of mine so give it up for Erika." Lorne said clapping while Erika came on stage rolling her eyes.

"Nice introduction." Erika whispered to Lorne.

"I like to think so." He whispered back. After Lorne got off stage, the music began.

Natalie Cole -- Unforgettable

Erika opened her mouth to begin the singing until she saw Faith quickly rush out looking nervous. Erika quickly ran off stage, and Lorne finding that a bit shocking took her place singing a different song.

Erika rushed up the stairs and went outside, "Faith!" she shouted, but Faith was no where to be seen from either direction. Erika suddenly looked slightly ill and saw visions in her head. She saw what looked like to be a storage room, two people were sitting across from each other but how dark it was she couldn't see their faces. A moment later she saw what looked to be an old man's hand places it on what appeared to be young woman's hand. Erika looked around seeming slightly confused.

Lorne finally ended the song and everyone clapped for him. Erika walked towards Lorne who just walked off stage waving. "Hey I got to go." She said grabbing her sword and leaving.

"Hey you didn't even sing."

"Some other time Lorne, I really have to go."

"What about Faith?"

"What about her?" She replied running out.

Back at the hotel, the laughing finally stopped, since the gang was to busy fighting the creatures who came out of the portal. They were all taking their time killing, since the portal finally closed on its own, leaving only a few left alive, and they'd rather torture these demons than laugh about something stupid.

Erika had no idea what that vision was she saw but hoped that Angel and Spike were back to ask if he received the vision or not. She got out of the car and headed for the door. Before she could touch the handle she was sent a vision of back to when Angel and Spike were fighting a huge big blob. The more they cut the more it grew finally it stopped fighting and instead began to laugh, and soon exploded making Angel and Spike fly across the room. With blood and goop all over them, they then began to start laughing. She saw some of the goop steam when a drop of water came from the pipes on top. The vision forward to Alex and G touching the goop and Kate accidentally getting some on her hand also. Leading to G finally opening a portal and unleashing monsters which stopped them from laughing. After the vision past, Erika realized what was going on. She opened the door and went inside to find bodies of dead creatures and the gang laughing hard with tears in their eyes.

"Erika!" They all shouted still laughing. They couldn't even finish their sentence. Erika so much wanted to just sit down and watch this humiliation, but she knew they've been tortured enough. She went over to the side wall and pulled the fire alarm releasing the sprinklers. The water came down acting to the goop as acid.

The five just laid there soaking in the water that was melting the goop away from them.

"Feel better?" she asked as the team just laid there neither of them smiling or laughing.

The next day came and the gang was taking the day off cleaning up the mess after a long nights rest.

"If I ever laugh again." Spike said annoyed while picking up the monster bodies and bringing them into the tunnels with Angel to get rid of them.

"My cheeks feel sore." Kate mumbled while helping Erika and Alex mop.

"Mine too." Alex agreed feeling his right cheek.

"Is it just me, or does everyone feel like they have a hangover?" Angel asked picking up a body.

"It's not you." G replied blow drying the books while leaning on the counter.

"So what did you do last night Erika? Besides saving us from laughing to death." Alex asked leaning against the mop.

"Nothing that would interest you guys." Erika said putting down the mop. The Gang were all finished with the work and decided to all sit down.

"Woe! What happened here? You guy's had a party without me?" Faith asked hanging her coat up. Erika stared towards Faith in question; but quickly looked away once Faith faced them.

"Trust me you're lucky you left." Angel said leaning his head back. Lorne suddenly came rushing in excited.

"Woe, nice and shinny. Something fun happened here last night." Lorne said coming in smiling. Erika looked a little nervous hoping that the conversation between Lorne and her would be kept a secret. "Hey Freebird." He said winking at her. Showing he wasn't going to tell.

"What are you doing here Lorne?" Angel asked leaning back on the couch, next to Spike and Kate.

"Oh, I was inviting you guys to the bar tonight, its Comedy night, I thought you guys all deserved a laugh. Want to go?"

"NO!" They all shouted. Erika smiled. Leaving Lorne and Faith a bit confused.

Reviews are always welcome. :) This was just a fun epiode hope you had a laugh.
